[nocopy] part 7
"DM! I should not break down" kushi kept telling herself "Think kushi, look at the problem positively, if you loose your cool.. it is not going to help... be yourself... this can be handled..."
But how much ever she thought she didnt get any brainwave on how to trap Shyam and eventually dozed off on the Poolside bench.

"how disgusting!last time in terrace, this time in front of everyone..."
"no, she didnt look happy though!, infact she was shocked and disgusted "
"but he said that she planned all this... she was happy the whole day!"
"until he hugged, then she even tried pushing him away so forcefully"
"she puts on a act!"
"No, it was genuine, she caught him off handed, he didnt look happy while she tied that rakhi"
Arnav couldnt help the fight which was happening inside him... It seemed that his heart and brain was in a direct conflict and neither was listening to his feeble shutup, giving him a headache.
***
Dinner that night was a quiet affair until kushi came down a little late.
"sorry I felt a little tired and dozed off..." she apologised.
"dozed off for such a long time Kushi? you were sleeping for almost three hours now...How will you sleep at night?" Payal asked her.
"thats ok payal bitiya ... " Nani told her "Kushi bitiya sit, have some dinner"
"That understandable... tired were you? didnt sleep properly at night? nowadays Kushi does'nt sleep properly at night... isnt it chotey?" Anjali told her teasingly look from Arnav to Kushi...
Arnav gave her a annoyed look...
Kushi ignored this teasing and took her seat and immediately her eyes fell on the plate of jelebis on the table.
"Jelebis! jiji I love you for this" she took a bite.
"I didnt make it Kushi" Payal told immediately
"I made it, because today has been a special day!" Shyam told her.
Arnav's face reddened with Anger. Kushi didnt expect this, she instantly ran to the washbasin and mimed puking whatever she had eaten.
"What happened?"
"Kushi bitia you are not well is it?"
the family bombarded her with questions...
"Kushi are you alright? Arnav's concern was out before he could check it as usual.
Kushi came back to the table seeing all of them with concerned looks
"I didnt like it" she said with contempt looking at shyam.
Shyam was hurt while Arnav was amused.
"You didnt like what you like the most?" Anjali was surprised
"Oh Kushiji! Are you also pregnant like di? because only di became like that what she liked she hates to eat now and what she hated she likes to eat now... all ulta" NK asked her
Arnav's smile was replaced by a shock.
"NK they are just married for two weeks... it will not happen that soon" Mamiji told and everyone laughed.
"But did you both..."Anjali looked from Arnav to Kushi "I mean she did faint that day...and she looks tired as well"
Arnav was stupified.. did it mean that shyam and Kushi were physically involved as well?
He looked at shyam. Shyam was looking terrified and so angry that his nostrils were flaring...he kept on looking at Kushi and then at Arnav. Arnav realised that if that was the case, then probably Shyam would be smriking at him not looking devastated...At last, It seemed that his heart was slowly starting to win the battle, he smiled again.
"chote?" Naniji called him when she saw him smile..."is it true then? did you both do it before your marriage?"
"do what? " he asked them, he had totally been occupied with shyam's thoughts that he failed to realise for a second that the context in which they were seeing Kushi's so called pregnancy symptoms pointed to him.
"oh thats why sudden marriage?" Mamiji piped in
"No!" Kushi answered for both of them."Naniji I am not feeling well...thats all. I dont want to eat...I dont feel like eating, I will go to bed now and try to get some rest now."
"no , take some fruits atleast" Naniji told her not fully convinced yet
"Its ok Naniji, I will take some milk later, I really dont feel like eating now."
"I will give you medicines after I finish eating Kushi..." Anjali told her
"Its ok di. Arnavji has a first aid box at his room"
"No you cant take those general medicines...I mean just in case if you are expecting... that is..." Nani told giving her and Arnav glaring looks.
"No Naniji, I am not..." Kushi was annoyed.
She left to her room.

When Arnav reached their room, he saw her sitting on the bed, holding her stomach murmuring "how hungry she was" to herself.
"Kushi you..."
"Stop! I know what you are going to ask me... Am I pregnant with Shyam's kid right? No I am Not! if you think that I... "She started breathlessly talking
"No I didnt mean to ask that" Arnav replied calmly..."I wanted to ask if you are feeling alright or do you want me to take you to the doctor."
Kushi was stunned for a moment. he had not talked to her this nice since her sudden wedding with him and was confused with his constant now cold, now hot attitude. what happened suddenly to change his attitude towards me? she wondered...was he sarcastic?
"No I am alright, I only faked sickness because I didnt want to eat his jelebis"
"Thought so..." he said casually and threw something on the bed.
"what is this?" she took it read it slowly and her eyes grew wide "Pregnancy test? I thought you believed me.. How could you believe I can stoop so low? yeah if you can think I have an affair with that excuse of a BIL you have, you can think more than that as well" she told him angrily...
"No I didnt ask you for a test, Di asked me to give it to you" He said tying to control his laugh.
"What? do they still think? DM" she asked standing up
He shrugged his shoulders putting on an innocent look.
"well then, go tell her that I am not kunti!"she threw it back at him.
"Kunti?"
"to get pregnant just with looks from suryadev"
"What do you mean ?"
"I mean I cant possibly get pregnant if you only keep looking at me when you think I am asleep!" she finished quickly throwing him annoyed looks before walking towards the bathroom.He was clean bowled by her comment, but soon broke into a grin thinking of her comment while throwing the kit into the wardrobe.
"She doent seem as naive as she looks.." He told himself.
He was beginning to believe that there were chances that his wife was not having an affair with Shyam and he misunderstood her, he needed concrete evidences, and from now on he would go for it rather than pushing her to provide it...He still was confused about her asking shyam to leave his sister, but right now after a long time, his heart felt lighter, more at peace than it had been for two weeks now and he wanted to live that moment before the sheer reality throws in the ugly truth on him, be it this way or that way, he would be having a tough time. He smiled thinking of the incident that happened just before he entered their room.
"Chotey! wait" Anjali called him when she saw him passing by her room to his own.
"yes di"
"wait a minute, I will give you something" Anjali was looking for something in her wardrobe while he waited outside her room "Where did I leave that spare one? I had it somewhere here..."
Shyam who was about to enter looked so upset and distraught
"Dont think you can get away with this...I dont care if she carries your kid, I will get her, Make her mine!" Shyam jeered at arnav
"Wrong move JiJaji!, this means that you both were not physically intimate" Arnav told him coolly.
"I meant She cannot be pregnant with your kid, She loves me, she wont let you get involved with her that way " Shyam tried to cover up his mistake
"Oh I dont know if I can answer that question of yours" Arnav mocked pointedly "You are asking a very personal question about me and my wife, so kindly excuse"
"S***!"
"yeah you landed in one big time s*** and I will make sure your are buried in it..."
They both quickly regained their facial expressions into normal jovial ones when they saw Anjali coming out.
"Here chotey, give this to Kushi" Anjali was back holding some medicines and a kit
"Rani Sahiba, why this?" he was irritated with his wife's enthusiasm
"suniye, you dont know, with these two, anything is possible!"
"thanks di, it will help" he said simply, while looking at shyam, the smirk still gone higher and walked to his room.
