LAST PART
Khushi walked over to the dresser and picked up the ripped up copy of DNA report lying next to her bangles..
Arnav came to stand beside her and took the report from her hands..
"So you picked it up from the dustbin to read it. That's ok...I'm not blaming you..", Arnav added quickly with a smile. "I would have probably done the same "
"Or worse", he added as an after thought...remembering Khushi's tear stained face through the airport glass doors...
"No I did not pick it...Sheetalji did...she said I should burn it so no one could see it"
" How very thoughtful of her.." Arnav said coldly, his eyes glinting dangerously.. "What else did Sheetal say to you.."
As Arnav stood listening to all the lies Sheetal had the temerity of feeding his naive, innocent wife...and in their own home...his face got dark with anger...
More than anything, he was angry because someone had the audacity to suppose that they could play mind games with his, Arnav Singh Raizada's wife and get away with it..
Clenching the report in one hand, he rushed to Sheetal's room with Khushi following him..
"Can't it wait till morning, Aarav must be sleeping.." Khushi said her heart going out to Aarav.
"No, it can not wait" said Arnav, shortly.
Arnav knocked at Sheetal's door and when Sheetal came to the door, Arnav said shortly, "Come downstairs Sheetal, I have to talk to you"
When Sheetal came down looking nervous, Arnav walked over to her and looking into her eyes piercingly asked, " So what's your game"
"So Khushi told you...there's no game Arnav...you know you are Aarav's father...stop fooling your wife with your lies...look at the DNA report"
" You and I both know very well that we never slept together...so obviously Aarav can not be my son" said Arnav in cold measured tone.
"Now the DNA report...", Arnav said softly, pausing.
"You know Sheetal I have researched quite a lot on DNA tests...
Want to know why..?"
"Every day in India, there are quite a few greedy, cheap, unscrupulous women like you getting their eyes on the wealth of rich, successful men like me...filing paternity suits...that are often settled out of court...to avoid bad publicity by these men"
"Coming back to the DNA report...there are only two possibilities...one, that it's a forged copy...I can easily find that out tomorrow...and two, that Aarav's father is someone who is closely related to me...it won't take long to find that out either"
"And don't for a moment think that I'm going to offer you any money to stop you from your evil yet foolish designs..."
"Arnav Singh Raizada is not scared of bad publicity...if you want to play dirty , I'm game for it...the only regret I'll have is that Aarav will have to go through all this all because of a mother, who uses her child as a pawn in her dirty games" Arnav finished, his lips curling in distaste..
"You had planned on making Khushi leave me...my wife's lack of trust in me would have really helped your case in court...am I right?
As Sheetal stood there speechless, planning her next move...Arnav continued, " So please pack you bags and leave by morning...it's only because of Aarav that I'm not getting them thrown out now..."
Then Arnav took Khushi's hand and turned to go...
"Wait Arnav!" Sheetal said
When Arnav turned around, Sheetal said in a poisonous tone, " See you in court soon"
His eyes flashing, Arnav said in a dangerously soft voice, " I'm so looking forward to it.."
Sheetal didn't even wait for the morning, she left immediately dragging a sleepy Aarav with her..
Arnav and Khushi's heart went out to him..
Khushi stood in front of the mirror again taking her jewelry off, Arnav hugged her from behind..
"Are you worried about the court case..the publicity?, Khushi asked him worriedly.
Kissing her neck, Arnav said, " As long as you are with me, I don't have any reason to worry about anything.."
With her heart pounding, Khushi started taking her earring off..
"Let me do it" Arnav said.
After Arnav removed both her earrings, he nibbled at her earlobes leisurely, making her breathe with difficulty. Then he removed her Tika and her necklace and carrying her started walking to the bed..
Her heart beating erratically and her breath uneven, Khushi asked, " You must be missing Aarav, you had become really fond of him.."
Arnav lay her on the bed and took a while removing the pins that held her pallu to finally move it out of his way..Then after removing her silver waist chain, he looked at her with his eyes smouldering and said , " I do miss having a son like him, but we can easily fix that..."
Feeling his lips on her waist, Khushi smiled blushing...
