Part 14

Khushi held the Haldi bowl in her hand and came down to Sheetal who was surrounded by some of the Ladies and her friends for starting the ritual. She placed the bowl down and then smiled at Sheetal who didnt give her a proper response. Sanjay's family was here and everyone were waiting for Sanjay to come so that they can start.

Khushi whispered in Sheetal's ears teasingly.

Khushi: Why is Sanjay delaying so much? Shaadi se dar toh nahi gaya?

Sheetal was in no mood to be teased. She looked in Khushi's eyes to reply.

Sheetal: He's gone to get Arnav.

Khushi's face was dull hearing that. Suddenly everyone saw Sanjay coming inside and they took a sigh of relief. Khushi turned too and for the first time she was seeing Arnav in such a traditional white Kurta. White always suited him no matter if it was formals, casuals or traditional like he wore today. But what caught her attention other than his looks was his usual smile. He was behaving as if nothing was wrong. Arnav just stood beside Khushi when Sanjay was taken by the ladies for his haldi too. She could feel a different sensation inside her being so close to him again. Not that he did it purposely. But the place was really crowded. But once again she felt as if he was purposely not noticing her. May be he wanted to act a complete stranger now. She walked away from him to apply the Haldi on Sheetal.

The ritual was almost over but Arnav didnt even see her once carefully. She was trying hard not to concentrate on him but it was useless. What confused her was his normal behavior with everyone here, as if nothing happened. She suddenly saw a group of her friends running towards her with Haldi in their hands to apply her too and she started running.

Khushi: Guys please. I am wearing a white saree. Don't play with me. Its not my wedding. Go.

The girls didn't stop chasing her as she was the Bride's best friend and as per the tradition she needed to apply some haldi on her too. While turning back and checking if the girls stopped running behind her or not, she bumped into someone very hard and hurt her forehead which just collided with this man's chest. She started rubbing it but he caught her hand and that's when she realized who he was. His eyes admired her face while he continued holding her hand. If she wouldn't have betrayed him, things would have been so different. She had broken his heart purposely and she will have to repent for this soon. Gathering all those moments in his mind when she lied to him, when she purposely kept pretending to love him, the nights they shared, he pushed her away from him in anger leaving her bewildered.

Arnav: Keep your eyes open when you walk. Or should I say you purposely bumped onto me? Whose next after Lavanya for whom you trying to get close to me? Is this the only job you have to do on this earth? Does my Ex's pay you for doing that?

Khushi : Shut up .

She was angry on him but did he care? He took a step towards her making her stumble back in fear seeing his red eyes.

Arnav: I have a new job for you Khushi. Very much similar to what you did for Lavanya. One of my close friend needs to get back his girl friend who left him for some silly reasons. He wants to make her realise she went wrong and hence needs to fake girlfriend to make his EX feel jealous. I have suggested your name. Because no one here can act like you can.

Her eyes filled with tears when she heard this comment from him. How she wished to slap hard on his face for what he thinks of her.

Arnav: Kya hua? Job pasanad nahi aaya? Dont worry Khushi. He is ready to pay you on a daily basis. Rs 20,000 daily and extra charges at night.

Thats it. She lost her control on her hands and raised it to slap his cheeks but he held her hand and pinned her wrist at her back, forcibly pulling her close to his body. She struggled but he seemed to be stronger than what she expected.

Arnav: Its less? SHould I ask him to raise the amount? Double the money?

Khsuhi: Shut your **** mouth Arnav.

Arnav: Watch your words Khushi. No Fowl language.

Khushi: And what about the cheap talks which you are doing at this moment? How can you think me so low Arnav?

Arnav: Because you did something as low as this Khushi. You broke a heart for a mere revenge.

Khushi; What about the hearts which you broke? You should count them too rather than pointing on me.

She was getting hurt by his hold and she worried if anyone present here was watching them or hearing their talks. But everyone seemed to be busy with the to be married couple and Arnav and Khushi were standing very far away from this crowd.

Khushi : Leave me.

Arnav left her hand gently and she pushed him back with force. She started checking her bruise on the wrist which was his gift today.

Arnav: Its just one small bruise Khushi. Will be healed in a day or two. But the ones which you gave me, will take years to go off.

He left her sight while she kept staring at him.

The Haldi was done and now Sheetal and Khushi were sleeping in the room together as the next day was the marriage. Khushi was trying her best to be normal even though she couldnt forget what he said to her today. Sheetal was busy in talking to Sanjay on the Phone.

Sheetal: Dont drink much baby. Kal shaadi hai.

Khushi smiled seeing Sheetal's concern for her fiancee. She was checking for some matching jewellery that she had to wear the next day on Sheetal's marriage but her ears were on her talks too.

Sheetal: Why didnt you tell me before? You know we girls had also decided for the Bachelor party but it got spoiled up and we cancelled it. But you guys are enjoying it well.

Khushi now came to know that the Groom and his friends were celebrating a Bachelor's night. She was now more interested to know what Arnav was doing there.

Sheetal: What? Stripper? You guys arranged for a Stripper? Damm you Sanjay. You will see that girl stripping?

Khushi stopped her work and looked at Sheetal who was fuming on the call

Sheetal: Why is that music so loud? And where is your attention Sanjay . Here I am talking to you and you seem to be busy seeing that stripper's show? Damm with you. DOnt even think I am allowing you to touch me tomorrow night. Good night.

She cut the call and angrily threw her phone aside.

Khushi: Whats wrong Sheetal?

Sheetal: I am going.

Khsuhi: Kahan?

Sheetal: To Sanjay's farm house. Its not far from here. Just a 15 minutes drive. I cannot see him oogling on that Stripper.

Khushi: But Sheetal its not fair. Tomorrow is your wedding . You cannot leave alone like this.

Sheetal: Right. And thats why I am taking you.

She dragged Khushi with her picking the Car keys and Khushi had no idea what she needed to do ? No matter what, somewhere even Khsuhi wanted to know what was happening there. Specially what Arnav was doing in between all this.?

__________________

The sudden entry of Khushi and Sheetal in the Farm house scared the Boys and the Groom who were enjoying the Show. The stripper was confused too.

Sanjay: Sheetal? Khushi? What are you doing here?

Sheetal

: What were you doing Sanjay?

Arnav was in a Black Shirt which already had the top 3 buttons open and looked like he too was drunk a bit. He came there to sort this problem

Arnav: Sheetal hold on. Dont scream at Sanjay. This party is for him. Because thats his last day of being a BAchelor.

Sheetal: But that doesnt mean he can do all this. He organised a Stripper?

Arnav: I did it . Not he

Khushi's eyes widened as he confessed this. Arnav was still ignoring her.

Arnav: Didnt you girls plan the same before for your bacehlor night? A male stripper?

Khushi was lost in the flashbacks of this moment when Arnav was too eager to strip on this night only for her. She closed her eyes and took a long breathe. Sheetal calmed down.

Sheetal: Okay fine. I trust on you Arnav.

Sanjay: Just him baby? Not me?

Sanjay was getting cozy with Sheetal who couldnt avoid him too. They excused from the rest for a while and moved to the other room on the pretext of discussing something though everyone knew what they wanted to do. Arnav smirked seeing them leave and then his eyes fixed on Khushi who was feeling uncomfortable in between his drunk friends.

Arnav: Nice plan Khushi. I liked it.

Khushi: Plan? What Plan?

Arnav: Yahi. Getting Sheetal here and spoiling our party.

Khushi: Look. I am least interested in doing all this. I just accompained her.

Arnav: But you messed with this party. Didnt you? Toh Saja toh tumhe milegi hi. (So you will be punished)

She didnt know what he wanted her to do but looked like it wouldnt be easy. He closed the gap between them almost pinning her to the table behind and whispered in her ears.

Arnav: Strip for me.

Khushi's jaw dropped and she jerked knowing what it meant. She pushed him back looking in his eyes angrily.

Khushi: What rubbish?

Arnav: Sshh. I havent asked much Khushi. You have done this before me. And you shouldnt mind doing it because all this was part of your revenge before. As it is, its been days seeing you topless.

She couldnt believe he said something so cheap again. Tears pooled in her eyes but he seemed to be unaffected.

Arnav: We have a room vaccant here.

He showed her some room keys and she sighed in disappointment.

Khushi: You are such an **** Arnav. I came to know this now. One more word against me and I wont mind showing this face of yours to your lovely sister and brother in law.

She walked out of that Farm house alone not even bothering that she was here with Sheetal who stil hadnt finished her sweet talks with her fiancee. All she wished was to go away from his sight.
