Part 12
"Who did this to you Angel?"
Khushi didn't know if she should tell or not...She hesitated.
"A..Arnav...nobody"
Arnav grabbed Khushi's arms and pulled her close to him "What are you trying to hide Khushi?These marks are obviously made by someone.Did someone try to force you to do something against your will?Did someone try to kill you?Did someone try to kidnap you?What happend?" Khushi kept quiet and looked down.Arnav pushed her chin up making her look at him "What are you trying to hide Khushi?Just tell me and I can help you" Khushi kept quiet "Fine..keep quiet.But I won't" Arnav stood up letting go of Khushi "People don't only fear me and my family only because we have money and the power to destroy them professionally..they fear because we have such contacts that we can destroy them personally and know all their secrets.I too have worldwide contacts so you would like to keep an eye out your window..you never know when somebody is watching you and at the same time giving me information" Khushi gasped and stood up immediately.Arnav looked into her eyes for a brief second and turned and left before Khushi could stop him.
'Did Arnav really mean what he said?' thought Khushi 'Will he really hire people to keep an eye on me?'.Few days passed.Khushi didn't see Arnav after that incident.She wondered if he stopped talking to her because of the incident or because he lost interest in her.The last thought made her brain go all over the place.If her thinking was right or wrong she didn't know.Arnav had made a very special spot in her heart.Though there was one thing she was glad about...her dad hadn't neither abused her emotionally or physically.He would never communicate with her and stay in his room or be out of the house.
*************************************************************************
Arnav was absorbed in work that he didn't have time to call Khushi or go see her.He had hired private investigators to keep an eye on Khushi so he could know who tried to hurt her.He had a file on his desk every morning on her previous day so he could quickly read it and know everything is going okay.He had to make sure the all the company's problems were solved immediately so he could solve his own personal problems.So far he managed well as he worked nearly all night and day.He was becoming a workaholic.There was only one problem left in the company and that would be solved immediately after he met with the clients.Somebody knocked on his door.It was Aman.
"Come in"
"Sir..the clients have come and are waiting for you"
Arnav sighed.After this he would be free.His family was thinking he would come after two weeks.Since he finished the work a week early,he would get a free week with Khushi.Arnav smiled at that thought.He looked at Aman and nodded.Arnav got up from his seat and left with Aman.
*************************************************************************
Khushi had gone to visit Preety.She was sitting with her in her house and talking about Preety's love story.
"He confessed he loved me after a week of our first meeting at a party.I told him I didn't want to get married to him immediately and I would like to get to know him.He agreed.So we got to know each other better and then he proposed marriage and I agreed" said Preety with a small smile remembering her love story.
"Oh..so this was going behind my back when I left" said Khushi teasingly
"Khushi!" Preety hit Khushi with a pillow and they began laughing. "Oh Khushi,I almost forgot to tell you..one of Daksh's friends is having a party and we're invited"
"We?"
"Okay,well he didn't know you so he invited me but I need someone to go with me...please!" Preety pleaded.
"Okay" Khushi agreed.
*************************************************************************
"Dude..can you come to the party,please" Daksh pleaded again to Arnav over the phone.
Arnav sighed."Okay Daksh"
"Great!See you there!"
*************************************************************************
Khushi arrived at the party with Preety.It was crowded.
The music was on full blast.Lights shone and bounced off walls.Preety dragged Khushi to Daksh who waved to them.He had a man standing beside him but he was on his phone and his back facing them.The girls approched them.
"Hey Daksh,meet Khushi,my best friend"
Daksh and Khushi said hello.The man with his back turned towards them,turned around.It was Arnav.He looked shocked but then smiled.
"Hey Khushi" said Arnav.
"Hey Arnav" said Khushi.
"Arnav,let me introduce to you some of our old friends" said Daksh dragging Arnav away.
"Khushi,come on,lets meet our old friends" said Preety dragging Khushi away.
Khushi and Arnav turned back to have a small eye lock til each were out of each other's sight.
*************************************************************************
"Come on Arnav,a few drinks won't hurt" said one of Arnav's friends.
"I don't drink.I only remember some things of what happend while I was drunk when I am conscious.I can't control myself when I am drunk.I don't want to do something I will regret later"
*************************************************************************
"No guys..I don't drink" Khushi said pushing the glass away from her.
"Oh come on Khushi.Here...we'll drink it" One of Khushi's friends gulped down the drink.Nothing happend to her,Khushi noted.Another one of Khushi's friends pushed a full glass towards her and Khushi held it.
*************************************************************************
Arnav's friends kept pestering him to drink.
"Okay guys,but only one"
Arnav took a full glass.He closed his eyes and pushed down the liquid through his throat.
*************************************************************************
"Fine but only one" she said
Khushi looked at the full glass in her hand and took a deep breath.She closed her eyes and quickly gulped down the liquid.
*************************************************************************
Both gulped down the liquid til there was nothing left and felt quite satified.
"Want another" said one of Arnav's friends.
Arnav nodded taking a glass from the passing waiter and clearing his thirst.
*************************************************************************
"Want some more" said one of Khushi's friends.
"You don't even need to ask" Khushi said taking another glass from the counter and gulping it down.
