Part 68
Seem the days were passing too fast, hours replaced with days and finally the baby shower of Anjali arrived. Khushi and the other house members were getting busy in preparing for the evening. Akash and Shyam were busy with the catering, NK was busy with the decorations while Khushi was in her most favourite department arranging and ordering the sweets. Her mount was chewing the jalebies and on the other side she was commanding HP in how and where it should be kept. Mamaji, Mamiji and Nani were busy in some other works. In all this, only one person was missing it was Arnav. He leaves to office early in the morning without meeting anyone. The last few days, his and Khushi's relation weren't in a good term. He tried to sort the rifts between them but she wasn't in a mood of giving ear to him. He was really getting confused with her behaviour, never she was like this before. She always listen to him and never she argued with him but these few days was hectic to handle her. Most importantly, she didn't let him sleep on the bed and occupied the whole bed.. His night was only embrace on the recliner.
Khushi went to Anjali's room to check her if she need anything. The preparation was in full speed that everyone was engrossed in their work.
Khushi: "Di you need anything to eat..?" Anjali nodded a NO to her with a smile on her face. She can see how much busy they are for the evening function.
Anjali: "Khushiji.. Have you called Chotte..? He will be definitely late because he was in the office. Please call him and remind him to come back soon.." Khushi replied with a smiled and started to walk towards her room.
She didn't want to call him to remind him thought but does she have any option..? She can't tell the other house members to call him. What if they asked the reason then what she going to give them..? They will start getting worry for her which she don't want it to happen anytime soon. She took the mobile and dial his number.. After few beeps he answered it..
Khushi: "Di ki Godhbarayi hai aaj.. Samay pe aa jana.. (It's Di's Godhbarayi today.. Come on time..)"
Arnav: "Hmm.." He didn't further the conversation but his way of replying really irked her..
Khushi: "Can't you speak Arnavji..! I'm talking something.. Instead of Hmm you can even say a YES.. Is it that difficult..??" Anger rose in her suddenly..
He didn't wait any longer and just cut the call on her face. She clenched her fist in anger and threw the mobile on the bed.. She was pacing angrily in the room.. After waiting, her mobile beep again showing a message probably from her husband..
"I will be there on time.."
She didn't intend to reply him. She put back the mobile on the side table and went in the bathroom to get fresh for the evening. Later, she has to help Anjali too in getting ready and there are a lot of work which still need to get done by her. She was hell wanted everywhere seem like without her all the works are incomplete.
**********
Raizada Mansion was fully present by guest. The ladies was seating at the corner having their drinks while the Raizada man's wasn't allowed to step in the Living room so they are having fun at the drawing room but only one man was missing right now. Arnav still haven't made his present yet.
Anjali was sitting in the middle of the living room on a special swing for her which was decorated with red roses and some fairy lights to make it more appearing. Khushi was attending the guest with Mamiji. That's when Arnav passed by her and she still didn't notice him but his eyes was glued on her. She didn't saw him walking in but for him he took it as an ignorance of her.
Seeing her Chotte, Anjali hurriedly called him and make him walked towards her. That was the time Khushi turn back to see her husband.
Arnav: "How are you Di..?" He asked while kneeling before her on her length.
Anjali (Caressing his cheeks): "I'm fine but what happen to you..? Is everything alright Chotte..? Why you look moody..? Did you have your dinner..?"
Arnav: "I will have later, it's just that I'm a bit tired.." Anjali could see he was trying to hide something. His eyes were enough for her to understand her brother. Doesn't matter how much arrogant or short temper he is but never she failed to read him. They were depending on each other since their parents passed away, she might be a motherly figure for him but he was a sole reason for their comfort today. She thought of talking to him later once she is free from all this function.
Anjali: "I will tell Khushiji to send your dinner in your room.."
Arnav: "NO Di.." he denied quickly.. "She might be busy.. I will have later or I will inform HP.." He exited from there and all this didn't go unnoticed by Khushi. She hurriedly marched behind him following him towards their room. He was about to close the door but his intention stopped there when he saw her coming in. He kept his coat on the recliner and walked towards the wardrobe.
Khushi: "Should I send your dinner here..?" He was putting his tie in the wardrobe and only his back was visible to her..
Arnav: "I will have later.."
Khushi: "Later..? It's too late Arnavji.. You need to take your medicine too.." He still didn't turn and prefer numbness this time. "Hum kuch kahre hai, Arnavji.. (I'm talking something here Arnavji..)" She said with little high tone which surely didn't go easy with him.
Arnav(turning angrily): "Main bhi kuch kehra tha kuch.. Did you give ear to me..? (I also tried to say something but did you give ear to me..?)"
Khushi: "Why are you getting hyper now..? I just asked you about your dinner nothing else.. Then why are you getting angry at this extend..?" She too pounces back at him this time.
Arnav(Closing his eyes and then opening back): "Leave me alone for sometime.. If I need anything I will call HP.." He directly mention that he don't need her help in managing his life but it wasn't his intend. He knew she is busy for now so thought of asking HP instead of her..
Khushi: "HP..?? So now days you are getting bored with me na..? That's why you are neglecting me.."
Arnav: "I never neglect you Khushi so don't twist the word.. Damn It..!"
Khushi: "Why shouldn't I..? I just asked you to apology to NK and here you making it such a big issue like you was told to bend before him forever.. You did a mistake Arnavji so care to accept it. If NK was wrong then you wasn't less.. Punching him or showing your violence is not a way of handling everything. There is another way of solving it instead of using roughness.." She roared in anger..
Arnav(Rage out): "So you are still adamant on your demands..? Then let's do it.." He holds her wrist and dragged her out from the room. They reached at the drawing room where Akash, NK and Shyam was present currently.. He leaves her hand and take two step ahead to near NK who were standing beside Akash..
Shyam: "Saleh Saab..? Did anything happen..?" He looked in the eyes of Arnav which was full with rage and Khushi who was still on the spot.
Arnav: "NK.. I'm.. I'm.." The word was somewhere stuck in his throat. He wasn't able to take it out but still he tried for the sake of his WIFE.. "I'm.. Sorry.." He said slowly yet it was loud enough for all of them to hear.. NK smiled victoriously.
NK (Pretending): "What..? I didn't hear you Nannav.." Khushi looked at NK and so does the other eyes which was glued on NK.. "Nannav speak louder so I will able to hear you.." Arnav clenched his fist in anger thought of punching him here and there but a soft hold of Khushi on his wrist stopped him from reacting.
He closed his eyes before he could continue.. He again looked at NK and this time meeting his eyes and speaking a bit louder than before.
Arnav: "I'm really SORRY.. I shouldn't behave rudely with you.. I'm really sorry.." This time NK didn't comment much.. Arnav's collarbone was clearly visible as he was trying to calm the devil in him. He didn't want to erupt here in front of the entire guest who still wasn't aware what was going on here..? He turn to look at Khushi.. "Aur kisse maafi mangni hai..? (To who should I apology some more..?)" She didn't utter a word but in return was looking at him. He looked at Akash and continue.. "Akash.. I'm really sorry for all the mistake I did towards you.. Ho sake toh muhje maaf kardo.. (If possible please forgive me..)"
Akash, Shyam and NK were really surprised to see Arnav apologizing before them. This was the first time indeed. They don't know if they should consider this as a miracle or breaking news..? As they knew, Arnav Singh Raizada never apologized to anyone doesn't matter how rude he is but this time he break his own rules and finally admitted his mistake. They walked away from the drawing room leaving Khushi and Arnav behind..
Khushi: "Arnavji.. I.." he waves off her hand from him and exited the mansion using the behind door. He didn't want to create a scene by using the main door as his family will start to throw numerous of question asking him why? Where and so on..?
Khushi was standing there alone while tear welled up in her eyes. She don't know if she did something right or wrong for the moment. But seeing the pain in her husband eyes, she realized that she have forced him for something he don't want too. She could see how NK was having a winning smirked on his face as he was enjoying the moments..
After few hours the godhbharayi comes to end. The entire guest started too retired from the premise. Khushi been called by Mamiji to help her in few works before they could retired on their respective beds. While doing all this, her mind was busy struggling thinking where her husband is..? She tried to call him but it was out of reachable. She put her mobile aside when Mamiji called her again as she was lost somewhere.
***********
Khushi started to take baby step to her room after closing the lights and until now none of the family was aware that Arnav is not in the house. She didn't want to make them worry by saying he went out. Again she needs a reason for her excuse.
She pushed the room door to her surprised she saw him sleeping on the recliner with his hand on his head and eyes closed. He already changed into his night suits. She slowly locked the door behind her and kneeled before him. For a moment, she was just staring him. Every word that he told to NK was ringing in her ears. His eyes, pain, rage and sorrow clearly visible through his eyes. She have an argue to touch him but she clearly knew that he won't allow her.
Khushi: "Ar..nav..ji.." Her tear started to shed within a second. "Arnav..ji.." She called again only to see him opening his eyes. She was holding her ear in her own way of asking apology.. "I'm sorry.." All the anger and rage melt seeing her tears. He hugged her before she could proceed further.
Arnav: "Sshhh.. It wasn't your mistake Khushi.. So don't say sorry.. I apologized to NK because of you NOT otherwise. I can't bear the ignorance that you are giving me.. If you can follow all my commands then why not I..? I know I was late but whatever I did was ONLY because of you.. I'm so sorry for hurting you.. I'm sorry.." She started to cry on his shoulder.. Her weeps was getting louder than before.
Khushi: "Arn..av..ji.." He pulled back from the hug and cupped her cheeks while wiping her tears with his thumbs.
Arnav(with chook voice): "Promise me you won't cry.. I can't see a single tear shed from your eyes.. Please stop crying.." His heart ached in pain seeing his lady love crying at this extend. Doesn't matter how much she hurts him but he can never be angry on her for long. She nodded weakly and again embrace her husband trying to mend everything which happened in their life..
