FF-Darkness [Andhera] Page 86 IMP NOTE - Page 40

Khushi stared at him as he came closer; He took his belt off and slowly came forward. "Arnavji, Your not in your senses". She looked at his red eyes, immediately she realized he had been crying. She stared at him and walked back as he came forward, He fell on top of her as she fell on to the bed. She smelt his breath, Alcohol. She wanted to cry, Arnav put his lips on her neck and Khushi gulped, she closed her eyes and cried. The lights went out. It was going to happen.

Khushi awoke from her dream with a fright; she touched her neck and her forehead which was dripping with sweat. She gulped as she took the glass of water on the table and gulped it down. She got up and walked towards the windows; she opened them and looked up at the stars. She sighed and put one of her hands on her tummy and the other one clutching her mangulsutra. She still wore her mangulsutra, she cherished with love on her slender neck.

"I'm sorry" she whispered as she looked down at her tummy.

"I'm sorry Baby." She cried as she put her hands over her face.

Khushi walked towards the table near her bed and opened a box. She took out the newspaper clipping which read "Arnav Singh Raizada in turmoil? Failed marriage" It was all over the press. She put the newspaper clipping next to her heart and never realized when her eyes drifted off to sleep.

***

"Goodbye Rani Sahiba" Shyam cackled as he watched Anjali lay on the bed lifelessly. The poison escaping from her mouth and her eyes wide opened.

"I'll see you in the next birth" he laughed before heading for the cupboard and collecting the money before rushing out of the window and jumping down.

"She's out of the way now Khushiji, I'm coming to get you" he smiled victoriously as he looked back at the Raizada mansion and smirked.

***

"Let me speak to her once" Arnav barked.

"No way. You've hurt her enough! Besides if I tell her you're here, she'll never forgive me. And La will kill me too!" Kushal replied as he rubbed his forehead.

"Why would I kill you?" Lavanya came out of the kitchen with a knife. She gaped at Arnav and dropped it immediately.

"Get out"

Arnav stared at Lavanya, Did she just tell me to get out?

"I need to speak to her! Just once."

"You can't! She doesn't want to speak to you"

"Lavanya, I HAVE TOO DAMMIT!"

"You can't because she's not here"

"Where is she?"

Lavanya stared hard at Arnav. She could see the desperation in his eyes and sighed. Khushi was going to kill her.

"She's in the temple"

***

Khushi closed her eyes and put her hands together. She thanked god for the blessings she had, her child, A place to live and smiled gratefully. She opened her eyes and her smile faltered.

"Khushi"

She gaped as she stared at Arnav. She stood rooted to the ground and turned around; She didn't want to face him, not now, not ever.

"Who's the father Khushi?"

Khushi stilled, his words echoing in her ears, she looked back at Arnav with angry eyes. There was silence as she glared at him. Gathering enough lf-control she could possibly muster, she walked up to him and slapped him across the face. Arnav closed his eyes and clenched his fists, he started to shake with anger and looked back at Khushi's eyes who were filled with fury.

"How dare you?" he roared and people started to stare.

"Awaaz neeche samjhe aap! (Keep your voice low alright!).How dare you!? How dare you accuse me of such a.. such a thing!? Just because I kept quiet all this time gives you no right to say anything about me! Do you understand?" Khushi put her and up to stop Arnav from saying anything. "Quiet. You've spoken a lot and now I will speak understood. What do you think? That a small town gold digger like me needs a rich business tycoon like you? Your thoughts are almost as disgusting as you" she spat out him hoping her words were like venom. "Even though today I have no one, I have everyone. I have a god watching what happening down here, I have a friend who loves and supports me and I have our child, Yes our!" Khushi screamed in his face grabbing hold of his collar. "MY child who I will support and I will love! Understood Mr Arnav Singh Raizada" she screamed as she let go off his collar and let out the breath she never knew she was holding.

She walked away without giving a second glance. She turned around slightly. "I'm glad your parents aren't alive because if they were, they would be disgusted." She murmured as the tear dropped and hit her cheek.

Arnav stood their astonished. He stared at Khushi and watched her as she walked back to him.

"Here you go" she looked him in the eye and never bothered to hide her tears.

She clutched her Mangulsutra and closed her eyes as she rippd it from her neck which immediately turned red. The beads hit the floor and she caught Arnavs hand and put it on her head wiping the sindoor that was adorned on her maag.

"Good bye Mr Raizada" she whispered as she walked out of sight.

***

Arnav looked at his phone. He gulped and put his phone on his ear.

"Chotte! Chotte, It's Anjali"

Arnav gulped and immediately came back to his senses.

"Di, What happened to di nani!? She's okay isn't she?"

"Chotte. She's deeeaddd" Nani cried as she fell onto the floor and weeped loudly.
