Part 8

That morning was very different; she was sleeping ,having her husband near to her. His hand was encircling her waist. Her mobile was ringing, it was from hospital.

Arnav woke up, his sleep got disturbed ,it was only 6 in the morning, he found his wife standing in front of mirror.

" Where are you going?", Arnav asked with a yawn.

" Emergency, really have to go."

Arnav left his bed, took the intercom, " Get the car ready, tell the driver to report within 10 minutes, yes, Memsaab will go to hospital, yes..hmm..".

Khushwant looked at him, he said ," Is there anything else I can do for you?"

" No, thank you, sorry for the disturbance.."

" Why are you apologising , being married to a Doctor one can expect this, anyways, if you can manage to come back within 8:30, I will appreciate if you sit with us for breakfast.." , Arnav stopped when he heard her giggling.

" What?"

" These type of lines are basically for the wives, for women..", Khushwant continued with her giggling. Arnav took his own time, let her laugh and then suddenly pulled her towards himself.

He was groping her , he was kissing her, it was a sudden attack from his side, she started to become stiff, started to feel uncomfortable. When he released her, her lips were bruised badly, she could not look at him, she was so embarrassed . Arnav enjoyed that, he smiled wickedly , said , " Have patience, soon you will have the taste of my manhood..now go and try to come back soon.."

When Khushwant came outside, the driver was waiting , he said ," Good Morning Memsaab", she was greeted by every servant in the house while crossing the hall. Although she saw the astonishment in their eyes, as if they wanted to know that why the new Randhawa Bride was going hospital leaving her husband just after their first night.

On the other hand, Arnav couldn't stop smiling, the sound of her giggle was echoing in his ears. For the first time she was laughing so freely. He got freshen up and went to meet his father, he was seated on an arm chair, looking through the window. After that injury he has become very weak, most of the time he spends his time in his bedroom. He was seated on a chair during his son's marriage ceremony. Lalit Chaudhri greeted him reluctantly that time, for the sake of the public appearance.

" Dad..", Arnav called , " You woke up so early.."

Ajit just looked at him. Arnav said ," Everything alright ?"

" Where is Bahu?"

Arnav took a deep breath, said ," You already know, where she is, servants must have told you by now.."

" Arnav, since your mother died, I never stopped you from doing anything, but now it's high time that you take things seriously. There is enough tension among us, now your wife is out just after the marriage..do you know what are you doing?"

" She is a Doctor, it was an emergency.."

" Some of our relatives are still in the house, what will they think?"

" They can think whatever they want, I really don't care Dad.."

" Why did you marry her? Just to teach her father a good lesson? For that marrying her was not necessary.."

" You are ill Dad, that is why you are worried, once you become alright, everything will be fine, Dad, things must take place gradually, else she would think that I am an autocrat, she must not think herself as a prisoner, I know when to stop, where to stop her.."

Ajit's eyes were getting narrow, he was not getting into it, what was Arnav thinking was beyond his understanding, but something dangerous was in his mind.

" You want to have your tea here or in the garden, weather is very pleasant Dad.."

" No, just lets have breakfast in an hour, tell Jog Singh to serve it in the garden in an hour.."

Jog Singh is an old loyal servant of Randhawas. He shot his own wife when he found her to be unfaithful. He was only twenty two that time, after 3 years of trial he got life imprisonment. At the age forty he came out of Tihar, Ajit Singh Randhawa was waiting for him to give him shelter. It was one evening when he saved Ajit from some goons. From that day he is with Ajit Singh like a shadow. Arnav was eight years old that time. He knows that Jog Singh only regrets about one thing. He could not save Kailash. Several times Kailash insisted on his second marriage, any widow of late thirty, or divorced. But out of his own repentance Jog Singh refused. When Kailash was being taken to the crematorium for her last rites, one shoulder was Jog Singh's too. Arnav left India after that because he knew Jog Singh will protect his father. This time also, it was Jog Singh, because of whom Lalit Chaudhri failed.

Jog Singh was playing chess with his Bade Saab. He looked weak too, he lost lots of blood when took three bullets near to his chest to save his Bade Saab. Arnav was with his laptop, he did not want his office staff to have the same question in their eyes , like the servants of his house.

And then he heard of the engine, someone was barging in, with great speed. It was his wife, the driver was on the back seat. Jog Singh looked up, so did his Bade Saab. Arnav didn't say anything. Khushwant said , " He is very slow, I cannot take risk with my patients' lives..so I was giving him a sample of my driving..".

She came forward and took the blessings of his father-in-law , said , " I am not too late , am I?"

Ajit smiled , said ," No, go and get fresh, we will have breakfast shortly, don't take much time Bahu.."

When she was getting ready to have breakfast with her father-in-law, the driver was questioned. He said ," Bahujee did not want me in the hospital, she insisted that I should come back, when she would be released she will call me, but Saab strictly told me to keep my eyes on her, then she got annoyed, she completed her task and later told me to get on the back seat. Traffic police charged fine of Rs. 5000 because of her rash driving, and we need to send the car for service..it has two big dents now."

The person whom the driver was referring as "Saab" , was Arnav and Ajit very well understood that, so did Jog Singh. Arnav rushed towards his favourite Honda City, it was badly dented, by the time he got back to his father, he saw his wife having conversation with him. Food was served.He wanted to wring her neck, but then he remembered that he only asked for it, however, she shouldn't have dented his car. Some elderly female relatives were in the house , they were to complete the final rituals of the new bride, they came, they informed Ajit that the kitchen was ready for the new bride, she can cook anyone dish for the lunch for the shagoon.

" It's alright, it is 9 am only, enough time to prepare the lunch, I am having some conversation with Bahu, she will join at proper time, why don't you people have your breakfast first..?", Ajit Singh gave a clear message that he was not to be interrupted in this private moment with his very own people.

Then his eyes fell on her left hand , the beautiful emerald ring became more beautiful it seems. Unknowingly a smile came on his lips , he felt bad that he came harshly upon his son, indeed he gave the ring to Khushwant.

***

The lunch was a big affair, elderly ladies were teasing Khushwant . Arnav's distant cousins were nice to Khushwant, clear instructions were there that nothing ill was to be spoken to Bahu. By the time the lunch was over, Yashwant Chaudhri arrived, situation got tensed . He had a great resemblance with his father , no introduction was required. Yashwant glared at Jog Singh with full hatred, neither his glance was soft for Ajit Singh, then his eyes got fixed on Arnav. Anyhow he managed to fold his hands and greeted Ajit Singh.

" I am here to take Khushwant, for the pag fer ."

Ajit nodded, said, " Bahu, get ready, let me have some chit chat with your brother, Chhote Chaudhri, won't you have a seat?"

Yash sat face to face with Ajit and Arnav, Jog Singh kept silence.

"Ahmm,", Arnav cleared his throat, " You should have brought Ajay with you Mr. Chaudhri.."

" Girija takes every decision related to Ajay, where will he go, what will he eat..she was feeling low today, she did not want Ajay to leave her, so I didn't insist, otherwise I would have brought him."

" You are the father, she could not leave him with you ?"

" If today Ajay is with us, sole credit goes to her, the time was very crucial, when Ajay was about to come, despite of all odds Girija gave birth to Ajay, and she is very sensitive about him, I don't like to intrude between the mother and son duo .."

Arnav rolled his eyes, but Yashwant went on, " And ladies become extra sensitive during pregnancy, so as Girija.."

Arnav raised his brows.." Yes, within six months , I am going to have my second child , this time I will make sure that I take good care of her, which I couldn't in case of Ajay..", Yashwant concluded.

It was an open threat for Randhawas, Yashwant made his wife pregnant before he was attacked; he made her pregnant for the second as soon he became fully recovered. In other words, he said, despite of every effort of anyone, Chaudhri blood lineage will survive. Ajit saw Ajay during the marriage, a very cute creature indeed, he didn't know about the second child. That is why, Girija made no active participation in marriage ceremony.

Meanwhile Jog Singh informed that all shagoons have been kept in Yashwan't car , now Khushwant can go. Khushwant came down within few minutes.

" Bahu, come back soon, Arnav will go tomorrow evening to take you back.."

" Yes father-in-law.."

"Call me Dad.."

" Yes Dad..", she smiled which was not missed by Yashwant. He again greeted Ajit Singh, Arnav shook his hand with him

***

Chaudhris was not that anxious like before, when Arnav reached to their house to take his wife back. In fact they were quite surprised and amazed that Khushwant was treated well, till now.

It was her third night after marriage. She was prepared for the fact that Arnav will not spare her anymore. He will demand for intimacy.

" Why did you damage my car?", Arnav asked finally.

" You were spying on me, what did you expect? I was supposed to kiss you for that? You can thank god, that dent is only on the car, not on you. You give me a single crap, you will get tons of shit..get it very clear.."

" Both , Yash and you can threat very well, yesterday the way he was talking, anyways..I am impressed, you really think that you can hurt me like this?"

" Do not drag my brother into this, don't talk anything you don't know, you have no idea what he had gone through..", her tone was calm , " I don't even want that for my worst enemy ..".

" Your worst enemy! Are you referring to me?"

" Do not put words on my mouth, you know very well what I meant.."

Now Arnav got really agitated, said , " And what about Samrat Zakhad? Deny that he came to hospital ..."

" I have no wish to deny that, he saw me in the road, he followed me, that is all, I didn't call him.."

" He was awake! So early? You want me to buy that?"

" Damn you..he was coming from a late night party..?"

" He is celebrating? What for? Wasn't he supposed to mourn that you married me?"

Khushwant gave up, " Alright, you will get out of this room or I have to go?" , she said.

" Do you really think that I will let you go?"

" Then I will shout..prepare a good explanation which you will need to give to your father, one more thing, your father still doesn't know about my medical history..let me see his reaction after knowing that..what say?"

Now this was a big blow to Arnav, in this case he is on Khushwant's mercy, he is defenseless.
