Part 23
Khushi was afraid that something had happened. He could see that. Arnav could see the nervousness and fear in her eyes. He knew she wasn't ready for that. Whatever happened two months ago, that was...he didn't know what that was, just that it happened. Then, he had been angry, frustrated at himself for letting his emotions take over. But now, he was glad. Because if that night had never happened, Arnav would have never believed that Shyam would do something like that.
*flashback*
Arnav was laying in bed with a sleepy Khushi resting her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He didn't know what had just happened. He was about to get up when he heard Khushi murmuring. When he listened closer, he realized she was saying "I love you, Arnavji. I love you." At first he was shocked, then he remembered what he had seen on the terrace and knew that she must be faking it. She couldn't be having an affair and then telling him that she loved him. He passed it off thinking it was another plan of hers, but his heart didn't believe that. No matter how much the ASR in him told him to let her go, his heart claimed she was innocent and to not let go, cause when she found out why he was doing this, she would leave and he would regret not having any time to spend with her. For the second time that night, he listened to his heart and fell asleep with her in his arms.
*flashback*
He thought that that bas***d loved his Di, but that had all been a lie, part of Shyam's lie. A lie that had the two women that meant the world to him trapped in it. He would give what that bas***d deserves. But right now, his wife and sister needed him.
He looked at Khushi and shook his head. "No, you fell asleep and i just laid you down. Nothing happened." he replied. He saw her sigh and it made him happy that she believed him and trusted him that much. He let her get up and watched her go to the closet and get his clothes and put it in the bathroom.
"You can go. I will make you breakfast" she said and turned to leave. Right as she opened the door, she felt it being closed again. She looked up to see a familiar hand on the door. She turned around remembering what happened the last time she tried to leave and he had closed the door before she could, trapping her in his arms. They both stared at each other until Arnav brought his lips closer and kissed her on the cheek, just like at the poolside. He slowly moved his lips until they reached her ear where he lightly nipped at it with his teeth. Khushi closed her eyes as he left a trail of kisses on her cheek.
He then whispered in her ear, "You are not going anywhere. You will take your shower then wait for me until I'm done, so we can go down together. Understand?" he felt her nod her and led her to the bed. He got a red sari out for her and put it in the bathroom. He then went back and led to the bathroom. Looking at her, he asks, "Khushi, will you be ok? Do you need anything?" Khushi shakes her head and turns around as Arnav smiles to himself and closes the door. He walks to the couch and takes his laptop out and tries to get something done while Khushi takes her shower.
Khushi stands in the bathroom for a minute, confused to what happened. She moves her hand to cheek and lightly traces the trail he left with her finger to her ear. She lightly smiled to herself. No matter how high and strong she had built the wall around her heart, he was breaking it down. She realized she was standing doing nothing and hurriedly took her shower.
Arnav was thinking about what to do with Shyam instead of working on his new launch. He had to figure out a way to keep his wife and sister safe from that devil. He looked up when he heard the bathroom door open. He saw Khushi come out in the red sari with her wet hair down. She had a towel in her hands, drying her hair. Even something so easy and simple, she could make it seem effortless and... amazing. He got up and walked over to her. He gently took the towel from her hands and threw it back into the bathroom. He put his hands in her hair and felt the way her silky, wet hair felt against his hands.
"Khushi, you look beautiful. I love you...Jaan." he whispered into her ear. He heard her gasp in surprise and he smiled to himself, feeling very proud. He moved back, took her by the hand and had her sit on the bed. He told her not to go downstairs and she nodded. He went into the bathroom to take his shower.
Khushi was too confused to do anything else besides stare at him. Two weeks ago, he was yelling at her, saying he hated her, hated living with her, and hated the fact he was married to her. Now he was telling her how beautiful she is, how he loves her and he can't live without her. 'Devi Mayya, what is wrong with this laard governaar? Do I forgive him for what he has done? Or do I let him suffer like how I suffered? But he is not in the fault. Shyam lied to him, just like he has lied to all of us. So it's not totally his fault. But then Arnav should have asked me. He just made his decision about me, about my guilt. Devi Mayya, please give me a sign!' she thought to herself. She sat on the bed until Arnav came out twenty minutes later in a dark brown suit. She watched him walk to the mirror and fix his tie. Automatically, she walked over to stand in front of him and took the tie from his hands. She continued from where he left off while he watched her in surprise. She then turned to grab his vest and put it on him, buttoning up the buttons. She got his jacket and put it on him, buttoning the middle button like he always does. She brushed away any wrinkles in the suit and stood back, embarrassed at what she had just done. She blushed as she looked down.
He saw her blush and his first thought was how beautiful she looked even when she was blushing. He took one step closer and lifted his hand to her chin. He gently lifted her face to look into her eyes. "Khushi, don't be embarrassed. I liked that. Would you...do that every morning...?" he asked. It was actually easier than he thought. He had never asked anyone for anything. He always ordered, gave commands when he wanted something. He saw her look down and nod yes.
She was surprised when Arnav asked her. She was thinking he would yell at her, scold her for doing that. But he liked it. He wanted her to do it everyday! She nodded yes and was just gonna move when there was a knock on the door. Khushi moved towards the door. She unlocked it and swung the doors open. When she saw who it was, all she could do was stare. Finally, getting her voice back, she said, "YOU! What are you doing here?!" in surprise.
Will Khushi tell him what Shyam said? Will she forgive him now? Who is at the door?
How was is? Hope you liked it!
