#2 FF: Spending nights with Mr. Raizada(Ch7-Ch11) - Page 67

Before, Arnav could speak further; they heard click of main door and quickly broke the hug. Shyam came at the door of the room, where Arnav and Khushi were standing and called out,

"Butterfly, bring chef outside. Today he will have best food of his life", said Shyam and started moving outside, followed by Arnav and Khushi.

As they reached the main door, Shyam stopped and let Arnav come forward beside him. As he stopped, so did Arnav and Khushi. Shyam put his hand around Arnav's shoulder and said in friendly way-

"Usually I don't like people giving me advices, but, today, you opened my eyes! So, a very special treat is waiting for you outside! I hope, you like it!"

Arnav smiled and looked at Khushi, who seemed really happy and satisfied.

"Come" said Shyam, breaking their eye lock.

"After you!" replied Arnav.

"With me!" insisted Shyam.

Both like childhood friends, smilingly went outside, followed by Khushi. As soon as they reached the garden, lights went off, making total blackout.

"Sheesh! This electricity has to go just now only! Now, how Arnavji will have your dish?" pouted Khushi.

"Don't worry butterfly! Come, let's get candles from inside" he said. Khushi, totally fearless of him now, started moving inside. Arnav still doubting Shyam's intention, started following them. Shyam saw him and remarked,

"Chef! You stay here. Otherwise due to blackout, you may hit something inside. Me and Butterfly know every nooks and corner of the house, so it isn't difficult for us! And, trust me, butterfly will live like a princess."

Arnav looked at Khushi, who wore satisfactory expression and then nodded in agreement. As soon as, Khushi and Shyam reached the door, lights came back.

"Phew! Finally it's back!" exclaimed Khushi.

She continued," Now Shyamji, Arnavji would be able to taste your dish!" and looked towards Shyam. Her smile changed into confused look, as soon as she saw his face, which now wore a disgusted look.

"Wh…what hap…happen to you?" she got a bit scared.

"You want chef to taste?" he questioned, in his usual rudeness.

Khushi hesitantly nodded in yes.

"Let him taste then" he announced.

*Bang*

Khushi looked in the direction of sound. Her eyes widened with shock, hands trembled with fear and body went numb as soon as she watched the sight. In the middle of garden, Arnav stood, surrounded by some number of men, holding either hockey stick or wooden stick.

His face wore same confused expression as of Khushi's. On being hit, pain covered his face.

"ARNAVJIII!", called out Khushi and started running towards Arnav, when Shyam pulled her back and slapped her.

Watching Shyam hit Khushi, Arnav felt so so angry and shouted

"You Bl**** D*g! How dare you touch her!!!!!!!!!!!" and with this kicked one of the men to get of the circle in which they trapped him.

"One more step of yours and she would be hit again!" shyam yelled back.

"You will hit, if I WILL LET YOU!" shouted Arnav at his top voice and hit another man.

Shyam hit her again, leaving her lips bleeding.

"I am near door! I can drag her inside and do whatever with her! Your one step and be ready to see her dead body!" Shyam yelled like Psychic.

Another man, held Arnav from back, while he looked at Khushi, who was crying endlessly, and remembered his promise to her! He won't let anything happen to her, even if he had to get hit and killed for that. If his submission to these wild men can save her from his hit, he will do so! For her!

Thinking that, he stopped his efforts to get out of group of those wild men and submitted to their beatings. They hit him here, and there, without giving that poor soul to breath for once. Soon blood covered his white shirt, leaving him totally helpless and Khushi crying.

Shyam laughed evilly and asked men to hit him till he begs for his life.

"Arnavji! Pls get up and hit them. Don't worry about me! Pls! Arnavji Arnavji! I beg you pls stop hitting him…Shyamji pls! Pls stop your men! Hit me as much as you want, not him pls! You have problem with me!! Why are you punishing this poor soul?" Khushi wailed.

Shyam pressed her arm and grinned like a devil," Who said you would be spared? But, before that this guy need to be taught a good lesson!" he then looked towards his men," CONTINUE HITTING!!!!"

Pain covered his body. Blood oozed out from his body and he began losing conscious. Khushi was wailing, begging…but that never fell in ears of that brutal beast, who was enjoying the cruel sight.

After sometime a moment reached, where if she hadn't begged Shyam, they would killed Arnav.

"Pls Shyam! I beg you! Take all the property, money and everything you want! Beat me, chain me, lock me…do anything…kill me even, but pls pls spare him! He didn't do anything! I asked him to talk to you! Pls! Shyam! He will die!" she begged.

Shyam continued giving disgusting look to her and then after sometime he announced to his men

"Leave him and throw him somewhere!"

Khushi heard his order and as the men dragged Arnav out of the mansion's boundary, Khushi anyhow, released her arm from Shyam and ran towards them.

"Arnavji! Arnavji! Pls open your eyes! Pls! Say something!" she asked the almost dead body.

She then turned towards those wild men and begged," Pls take him to some hospital! Otherwise he would die without any treatment! Pls have mercy on him!"

Those men said nothing and kept dragging Arnav.

"Aranvji! Pls open your eyes! Pls!"she continued praying to him, while shaking him.

Arnav did gain some conscious and through one eye looked at crying Khushi. He knew, after he was thrown somewhere by these men, Khushi won't be spared by Shyam. He wanted to say something to her, but kept mum because, those men still dragged him. Finally, when they dropped him near the dustbin, Arnav clutched Khushi's hand so that she knows that he had gained conscious.

Khushi was overwhelmed to see him move and before she could happily announce that he is alive, she remembered that those men were still at a distance.

She whispered," Nothing will happen to you! I will do something! I have my phone with me, I will do something", she said and took out phone from her pouch that hung on her waist band.

Through the weak voice Arnav stopped her," N…No…M..My phone…Payal…call !"

"Payal? Your office friend Aakash's Fianc?" she asked in whispers.

He nodded in agreement. She quickly looked for his phone. Finally when she found it, she heard the loud growl," Hey why did you leave Khushi with him! Drag her here! She too needs special treatment!" growled Shyam.

Khushi's eye widened as soon she heard her name. She was not tensed about her situation, she was worried about Arnav. She quickly dialled Payal's number. But, before she could speak anything, men came and dragged her.

"Leave me! You swine! He's dying! Leave me! Arnavji! Get up! Pls! Pick up the phone beside you!" she said while being dragged forcefully by those men. Arnav tried to get up to help Khushi but, his body was paining upto unbearable extent. Suddenly, he started losing consciousness and again went almost lifeless.

While Khushi kept encouraging Arnav to get up, men bought her near Shyam and threw her on his feet. He picked her up and pushed her inside the mansion and locked the door. She banging the door, shouting like a tigress about what Arnav could do once he gets up, what she will do once she is out of here. Shyam ignored her and then, turned towards his men,

"Your payment will reach tomorrow! First of all, this tigress had to be changed into a helpless goat!"

Men nodded and went away. Shyam with anger push open the door, leading Khushi to fall down. He banged the door behind and picked up hunter from its holder.

"Let you be treated the way you should be! You are having an affair! How dare you !" and before he could hit her, doorbell rang.

Shyam looked towards the door and then towards trembling Khushi, who had raised her hands in defence.

"Wrong timings! Don't worry! I will be back to treat you the way Arnav had asked me…like a princess…princess of HELL!" saying this Shyam moved towards the door.

As he opened it, he found a girl in black jeans and blue Kurti.

"Yes?" asked Shyam, looking at her with lusty eyes.

"I want to meet Khushi" said the girl nervously, feeling disgusted by the way he was looking at her.

"Why not me?" said the cheap. Girl's eyes widened with shock and disgust.

"I want to meet my friend Khushi! Tell her, her friend has come" she said rudely.

Cheap continued," Learn manners Miss! Btw, Me and butterfly are little busy! Come tomorrow! Like this, we will also become friend and will teach you good manners!" he said while closing the door.

She would have slapped him hard and hit him where men should not be hit, but, she can't. She had something important, so she quickly stopped the door from being closed and was forced to say politely

"Listen Mr Jha! If you let me go like this, I will feel you are rude and would never come back to meet her. Would you like that? And, on top of that, the reason I have come here is very important…", she paused and look here and there.

Then whispered," Its about money! Khushi has won in some competition and if she doesn't go and collect it would be given to someone else. And, amount is not less, its near about in crores"

Shyam's eye widened with surprise, as he heard the amount. His eyes shone with greed and he looked at Payal.

"She is coming! I will accompany you both too!" he said and turned to grab his bag.

"NO!" shouted Payal.

Shyam grew suspicious and asked," Why?"

"Umm…because…because, only girls are allowed there!" she said, whatever came to her mind.

"What kind of place…" before Shyam could continue his query, Payal interrupted.

"Oh! Mr Jha! Why you care about that? Care about money! Remember, it's in crores!"

"Ya Ya! Wait! I will call her!" he said.

He turned towards Khushi, who was looking for something.

He said as politely as he could" Your friend has come to meet your butterfly!"

Khushi was shocked to hear extra politeness in his voice, and asked," Wh…who friend?

Shyam looked again at the girl and asked" Your name Miss?"

"Payal", she announced.

One hearing her name, Khushi quickly went towards the door and ignoring the presence of Shyam began..

"Payal…Payal! You are finally here! You…" before she could complete her sentence, Payal stopped her, who didn't ignore Shyam's presence. She knew, Khushi would say something that could ruin her plan. She quickly said

"Ya Khushi. Its me! I knew, you would forget about cash prize! See I am here, now we can go!"

Khushi was tensed about Arnav, and on the top of it Payal is blabbering something or the other! And, btw, what's she is doing here. Khushi was not able to talk to her properly. Then how?, thought Khushi.

"Payal You…", Payal again interrupted her again.

"Come Khushi lets go!" and she dragged Khushi outside.

"Ok thank you Mr. Jha! One more thing she may take some time…probably a week or two to come back. You know naa, paper works!" lied Payal.

"Ok! No problem! And, butterfly, behave yourself! Return soon!" he warned Khushi, who did not pay heed to it. Her mind was covered with several questions and most important, Where is Arnav now?

As soon as, Payal and Khushi sat in Payal's car, Khushi showered her with her question.

"Payal! Tell me what's happening? What cash prize? What the hell is going on? And…And wait! Shyam threw poor Arnavji near a dustbin. Wait, I will bring him! Oh Shit! I hope he's fine!" said trembling, scared Khushi and began going out, when Payal pulled her in. She locked her door and drove some distance away from Shyam's mansion.

"Are you crazy Payal????? There Arnavji is swinging between life and death and you…you walk to my house, say something or the other and then when I tell you about Arnavji you drive away so crazily! Tell me dammit! WHERE IS ARNAVJI??" shouted Khushi, when Payal stopped car at a safer distance.

"Arnav says right about you! You keep on saying without even listening to anyone, make your own assumptions and shout like anything!" remarked Payal.

She continued," First of all, take this tissue and wipe blood off your lips and listen to me!"

Khushi took tissue and listened carefully to her,

"Arnav is very close to Aakash and Aakash is close to me, which is obvious! Arnav never hides anything from Aakash. This morning after talking to you, he told us that he will talk to your husband about the way he treats you! He also told us, that he wants to beat your husband to death, so that he also know, what pain you go through when he beats you. But, he didn't do that 'coz you stopped him", Payal paused, while Khushi was listening very carefully.

Payal continued," Later he told us that, he's sure that Shyam is egoistic and your one word against him could lead Khushi into trouble so, when he came to your house, he called me and asked me to remain somewhere near your house and as soon as he leaves, he will give me missed call and I will come and take you with me, so that Shyam doesn't hurt you, after Arnav is gone! His suspect did come true but, neither he, nor Aakash and me knew that Jha would beat Arnav!"

After Payal recited whole thing to Khushi, she started engine and drove away.

Khushi's eyes were filled with tears. Tears of joy or fear or sadness, she didn't know. Only thing she knew was that she was crying. A part of her felt that she was crying out of joy that she has a friend…in fact not just a friend…more than that, in her life. While other part screamed with fear, that it was tears of sadness…sadness that Arnav was injured because of her.

She looked at Payal, and asked in a weak heavy voice, "Where is he now?"

"He is in City Hospital. When I came to your house, Aakash came along with me and saw Arnav lying near that bin. We both went towards him, and Aakash instructed me to get you first. And, when I was dragging you in my car, he drove Arnav to hospital. I don't know what he was doing all meanwhile. Trying to identify if it was Arnav or not? Or taking his photograph to show him after he's fine!" Khushi giggled at the last sentence of Payal.

"No really I am serious! I tell you how crazy theses duo are…", while Payal tried to cheer up Khushi's mood, they drove to City Hospital, Khushi's mind eager to meet her saviour, probably, Her Arnav!
