Part Nine: KashmakashKhushi helped Anjali off the scan bed.The doctor was pleased with the results, but wrote out a prescription of supplementary vitamins.
"Anjaliji, Please wait here I will get these from the pharmacy before we leave."
She went down the stairs, and stepped out to the corner shop. As she took the receipt, she heard a voice calling,"Khushiji,I am so happy to find you here alone!"
It was that shaitan,Anjaliji's husband."What?!How are you here...You were at court ...so how come?"
"Khushiji, the court was adjourned and I came rushing to meet you"
"Shyamji,you disgust me.Here we are visiting the doctor for your dear wife, and baby...and God gave you no heart to think of them? I have nothing to say to you...Anjaliji is waiting..."
"Khushiji wait, but I have so much to ask you...tell me when this sham of a wedding will end, when will you be in my arms?"
"NEVER! Mark my words, you will regret this if you keep up this nonsense. You have no awareness of place and time...you are the cheapest man, I have ever seen"
"Nah nah...not cheap my sweet Khushiji...this is my junoon (madness) for you that blinds me."he said smiling at her cheaply.
As she quickened her steps to try to get to the stairs, he pulled her aside, dragging her to the lift. Pushing her in , he tried to plant a kiss on her reddened cheeks.Khushi was furious and losing all control, she slapped Shyam as hard as she could, just before the lift door opened
There stood Arnav and Anjali...but they had not seen the tussle.All Arnav could see was Khushi's flustered look and Shyam looking a bit dazed.To him , he suspected something else altogether...Anjali too was a bit taken aback by the whole scene, but just asked with concern...
"What happened...why are you both looking so ...so..?"
"Oh its nothing Rani sahiba...I was off early so came to meet you.The fellow downstairs was being rude to Khushiji at the pharmacy so I gave him a piece of my mind.See how upset Khushiji looks!"
Anjali as usual trusted every word her pati parmeshwar uttered."Oh it's a good thing you came to help her on time.Are you okay Khushiji?"
"Arnav also came because he knew we had come alone...such caring husbands we have nah Khushiji?
Arnav was not taking any of this nonsense well. His mind was spinning in many directions...what exactly conspired in the lift?Why did he feel there was more to their impassioned looks than met the eye.His breath was turning heavy and he could not take being with them any longer.
"DI...you all carry on...I will have to get back now..."
Khushi could hear the curtness in his voice, and they way he was looking at Shyam puzzled her.Had he seen? He couldn't have...why was he ignoring her? She kept looking at him till he reached the car, hoping for a look...but he just turned once before getting in...and such a look filled with hatred...that her heart sunk...and she wished she had not waited to see him turn.
