Note: In this update will reply to all your comments, so don't hesitate if you want to ask about the story or this update ;)
-I'm not your friend anymore!
-please…yaar…don't be childish!
-I'm childish! I'm wrong to come here and wrong to call you and ask about you!
Payal pouted…
-oh come on! Come on! Come on! I love you my payal…I'm already guilty…I didn't have any clue…wasn't my fault! And to be honest didn't inform you and call because I know you will tease me and make me scared!
Payal looks at her with wide eyes…she's really angry:
-that's not an excuse at all!
And then changing of mood all of a sudden, she comes near Khushi:
-ok…you tell me, what did you do there in the farmhouse, all alone?
-see! You're always like that!
-what? You tell me, I'm your best friend! Tell me! Tell me! Please!
Khushi starts to feel all shy…
-red ! you're red! Something is happening! I want it with details!...he's good in bed!
Khushi beats her friend….all shocked and panicked and confused…
-I don't know! Don't ask me those shameless questions!
-shameless? He's your husband! Tell me!
-I don't even know!
-so, you want to know? It's for so soon!
Payal received a pillow shot right on her face…
Both the friends are spending the last day of the weekend together…
After the journey in the farmhouse, the little family come back to the daily routine…Arnav was so busy…Khushi too was busy with an intension to avoid him with all the ways possible…
For a week…she tried with all her force to pull away…she needs that to think…she really need a little break…to see in her heart clearly…she even spends last night sleeping in Buaji room…in a recliner…and now when he's spending the Sunday at home, not in office, she invited Payal…not on propose this time but she missed her friend too much…
Khushi and her friend were in Arshi's bedroom…they wanted to be alone to be free with their "private" chat…
Payal being Payal didn't leave Khushi…khushi tells her about everything…
-he kissed you??? And you're saying that now??? Are you crazy?
-he just kissed me, Payal! And you know what? I didn't stop him!
-why would you?...it was so…so…natural!
-Payal…no! it's not!
-and why?
-the deal!... Him marrying me just because of our Lily…he never lied to me!
-yes…but he kissed you! Things change!
-no! I think…because…
-because?
-don't know!..he's maybe attracted to me…
-attraction…for a man is love!
-Payal?? Did you want me just to fall for him??! Are you his friend or mine?
-ok…ok…I will just…stop saying anything! All what I want is your happiness…if he will hurt you, I will maybe…mmm…break his head?
-no!
-oh! you're defending him?
-Oh Payal! Let's just eat something!
-oh no! it's just too late! I can't!
-please some coffee or tea before you go, pleaaase!
-ok, then here!
-what? No way, it's tea time, all the family got it in living room, come!
************************************************
Arnav wasn't angry…
Not at all!
He has already feel angry before…
Now, he's feeling other kind of feelings…
It's like he's alone again…he's left again….
If he would know that that kiss will make her run the more away from him…
He wouldn't try to even touch her…
He's not that much desperate…he doesn't regret that…
But…his heart was in pain…so much in pain that he's regretting maybe the fact that he opened it…to her…he believed in her…in the happiness he lived for some days…with her…
She's avoiding him…
She's hiding herself from him…
All the week was a punishment for him…
The few days spent on the farmhouse were now just a sweet memory…
She's even working hard to that she doesn't meet his eyes…
And now she's all giggling with the ladies…
Thought…she has forgotten about his presence even…
But he's not a weak man!
He's not!
-Arnav son! Come and have your tea with us!
Here…she's looking down at her cup of tea…not even paying attention to what he will say…
-no! I will just have it upstairs nani, thanks, you have fun!
Even if Shyam and Akash are there…he's not going to stay…
The way she's avoiding him was inacceptable…
He's on fire…
******************************
It's 11 PM…
He knows…she will not come even tonight, like yesterday she slept in the room of Buaji…or she will come late like every night when he's sleeping because he's all tired from work…
But he heard the sound of her payals coming towards the room…
She enters and their eyes meet but no one dare speak something to the other…
She's surprised because he's not sleeping…
He noticed it…
He ignores her…and he's acting all cold…but inside he's burning with little fire, consuming his heart…
Khushi also acts all indifferent but she's shivering…she knows that he's somehow angry because of her behave and he will so soon explode…and she still acting childishly and irresponsibly…
But what to do???
She's shy!
She's feeling so shy…after what happened between them…
In front of him…
With him…
Because of him…
And she's scared…
So scared…
Because she doesn't know what would be her future with him…
Silently, she went to change in the bathroom…she gets out of the bathroom…
The second she gets out…he's not there…
His laptop not there…
She waited thinking he will come back but not at all…
Looking at his things…at his side in the bed…at the recliner…
She needs to see him, right in that moment but she couldn't…
Tears are not ready to leave her beautiful eyes…She throws herself in the bed and started sobbing out loud; hugging the pillow….and slept like that…
Feeling the pain in her head, her heart, her soul …it's her fault…for the first time…it's her fault…
She knows that she's…so unlucky but sometimes she can work hard to be even more unlucky…and unhappy…
**********************
Next morning:
-Mumma?!
-mmm?
-your eyes!
Lily touched Khushi's cheeks, softly with her tiny hand…
-it's nothing my Lily…it's because I'm little sick!
-they are paining?
-no not all, my baby! You want to wear this dress or this skirt with that t-shirt?
Lily hugs her maa all of a sudden…Khushi hugs her back…Lily is like always unable to bear her mum all sad…she can't see her like that…
Khushi cried a lot all the night and she slept only for few hours…her eyes was a proof that she spent a horrible night…
***
At breakfast, everyone asked her and she has to lie to everyone that she's "little sick"…but everyone has eyes now on Arnav looking at him with a blaming gaze…but even, he's not fine…he's pale and looking even more angry then yesterday…
Nani and Anjeli were so much concerned…
Arnav don't know what to do exactly…he decided to drop them to school…
In the car…He waited for them…
When they raise the car…He keeps looking at her a little but was unable to talk in front of Lily who was also there…but any way tonight, he has a business party to attend and he wanted her with him…
A:-this night…a business party is organized and you should be present with me!
Khushi looks at him…
A:-in this party, wives of the most important business men will be there!
He explains…
Lily:-and me?
Lily asked…
Arnav finally smiles…
-I'm sorry Lily, it's at night when you have to sleep and only for adults! They don't accept children!
-but I'm not children anymore!
Arnav smiles again…
-show me, did your teeth show up?
Lily pouted and takes a deep breath…
-it's ok angel, one night I will take you also to a dinner and after to a party, ok?
-ok!
She's so fast happy again…forgetting that she wanted to go…
-shushi with me? Also he can come?
-oh that…will think about it!
Khushi doesn't talk anything…but when they are in front of school and the moment lily left the car to run to one of her friends…
Khushi learns all her courage and looks at him:
-I can't go with you!...I'm not your wife, Arnavji! Stop pretending this! We are married with a deal, we can't live like any other couple!
She said all in one go and was feeling good that finally she said what she was thinking during all this week….
She was about to leave the car but he holds her hand forcefully…
-tonight! I will come to drop you from RM at 8 pm, you better be ready or you still don't know who I 'Am and what can I do!
He said leaving her hand all red from his aggressive hold…
His gaze scares her the more…she left him without turning once to see if he has gone or not…
The important was ASR is back in him…he's feeling so damn angry!
*****************************
Evening time…
After so much hesitation…she choose to wear a red saree…they gift her so much sarees in her marriage…but…she has three red sarees and all are beautiful…the one she picked is so elegant…
Thanks god she could sleep a little at noon and thanks to that she's feeling better…her eyes are not red anymore; her face was looking fresh…
Anjeli proposed to put for her a light makeup, not so much…just the necessary…and she's also there to help her brush her hair… khushi thanks her…if it's not her, she will not be able to do anything…she's so sad to move and to think much…
Lily was amazed by her mum beauty…
-you look like printheth (princess) maa!...you look beauuutiful!
Khushi smiles…she's waiting for him…putting Lily at bed…she tells her a story, kissed her forehead and went out…
Anjeli informs her that he's already there and that he's changing in the room…
So, khushi decided to wait for him downstairs with Anjeli...
Anjeli was feeling something is wrong that's why she's supporting Khushi, not leaving her all the evening time…
When Arnav was also ready…he just doesn't look at Khushi at all…
She doesn't look at him, also…
Now both are avoiding each other…
This time a driver was waiting them both…
In the car, the atmosphere was intoxicated…they don't talk…but Arnav couldn't retain his eyes to take a look at the stunning beauty just sitting beside him…
When they are about to enter the elegant and huge villa where the party was organized … that's when he holds her hand…
-I'm sorry because you have to pretend you're my wife but you're not, right?
He asked looking away not at her but she could see how much angry he's…
Tonight, he's feeling like to hurt her…the way she hurt him all this week and especially this morning with her words…
************
The first lady side hug him was ok…
The second was a modern girl, she was accompanied by a friend and she hugs all of him, pushing her body towards him…khushi feeling like to cry then and there…
Here, she's discovering his world…
The great world of ASR…
all is here, around him made by diamonds, silk and heels…
all are respecting her of course but using masks to hide what they really think about her…
the middle class simple girl wearing a saree…
all were chatting…he forgets her talking about his project, work, deals with one of those men who are not satisfied about all what they have…still…he's looking at her from top to bottom…she excuses them and went to the buffet… where there are some ladies talking…
the men and even the ladies here seems that they are all working in business or fashion world…Khushi understands that at the way they are talking exactly like her husband and behaving like him…
-and then yes, a man could have awkward taste when it comes to choose his wife!
Said a lady wearing a black dress and where everyone could see her half boobs ready to get out, any moment…khushi was certain they are talking about her and him and she walks away…she don't want to listen further….
She takes a look at all the ladies…
She looks at him…seems like all the ladies around want to eat him up…
Even if their husbands or boyfriends were there…they are looking only at him!????
She was feeling all sad and was about to find a corner to cry there alone when…
-I can't believe my eyes!
Khushi looks up to the man speaking to her…
-khushi?...right?
Yes…his face is so much familiar…his smile too…
-what's a happy girl like you can do in such boring party?
-Mr…Virenji? sir? Is that you? I can't believe my eyes!
-oh yes, it's me!...how was you? Your Buaji?
-fine! We…(khushi hesitated, looking sad all of a sudden, thinking about her Buaji)…are fine!
-oh you're married!
He said noticing the sindor…
-oh…yes!
He nodded smiling…
-that's great…that's really great!
He said with little disappointed expression…
When Buaji and Khushi buy their house…they have also to sell a little land in Lucknow…so, they searched for a lawyer to help them in the process…and Khushi find thinks to the newspaper the number phone of Master Viren Vadhera and he helped them a lot at the contract procedures and all those stuffs…and as by chance he was also from Lucknow, he refused to take any money from them…khushi couldn't forget how much he was humble and proficient doing his work…
Khushi smiles again looking at him…
-I'm here because I'm going to do my entry in the business world!...helping father, he's actually here somewhere!
-it good, and I'm here with my…
-husband?
He smiles politely…and she nodded…
-you want to drink something?
-oh no! no! no!
He understands and whispered…
-you know they can also serve normal juice!
He winked and khushi finally smiles…
A server come and Viren look at the glasses and then picked the orange juice glass!
-here you are! It's safe!
Khushi smiles again and sipped on it…when she felt a hand holding her waist…she gasped…she knows to whom belong that hand…tightening the embrace like she wanted to run away and he's trying to retain her…
Viren looks at it, understanding immediately that he's no doubt her husband…
He tends his hand…but Arnav looks at it indifferent…after some seconds…and when Khushi looks at him…trying to find out what is happening to him to ignore Viren…
Arnav accepts the hand…
-Viren Vadhear…actually, you can say that I'm khushi's Lawyer!
Viren smiles looking at Khushi…and then back to Arnav…
-Arnav Singh Raizada!...I'm Khushi's husband!
Khushi looks at him all surprised at the way he said that…all confident …and giving each word its value…and she's feeling now how much he's angry but she ignores why...after all, he has what he wants...he wants her lost in his world...she ignores why he comes, now when she find a friend...why he doesn't come when she is lost between all those people looking at her from head to bottom like she was a strange object???????
Viren:-oh ASR! Nice to meet you then…well…then…we have to meet again…
Arnav is hating him…each second…a little bit more…he was following them from the minute, he comes to khushi…he was retaining himself from beating him when he saw that Khushi wasn't at all bothered and was talking to him like he was one of her family or friends…
Viren:-ASR Group…(Viren smiles) you know (he looks at Arnav)…God, what a luck! My father is your associate in your new project and you know Khushi! (he looks at Khushi, smiling), I told you about my entry in the business world…well, I will start helping father on that!...who could imagine that I will work with your husband!
His smile vanished pronouncing "husband"…
Arnav was the more fuming…he felt like to beat him hard…so hard…looking how much he's looking at Khushi with so much respect but also with so much…so much…it's like…like he's so happy seeing her…it kills when he just heard him calling her "khushi" and the way he introduced himself as "Khushi's lawyer"…
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
He has even see the way he's speaking to her with so much care and giving her the juice glass smiling ear to ear like he was flirting with his own wife!
His wife…damn it!
She's his wife!
