A twist of events chapter 11

Khushi suddenly remembered about the people and was abruptly pulled away from her little fantasy world of just her, her daughter, and her husband. She wiped off her wet cheek and headed downstairs. Arnav took the quiet Shaila from her arms and carried her himself occasionally giving her kisses on her cute nose.

Khushi reached the bottom of the steps and saw something- rather someone who was worse than anyone else she had expected.

Right in front of her was the man that had ruined her whole life. Whose very name...thought disgusted her. Whose presence made her feel uncomfortable. Whose unpleasant gaze made her feel dirty. Shyam.

Oh how she despised him so. She looked up at him with fire in her eyes and found he was staring directly at her with that fixed, hungry gaze. She pushed past him angrily. Shyam clenched his fists and he murmured something inaudible at the floor and left not noticing the spectator at the top of the stairs.

Arnav having been coming down the steps witnessed this whole interaction and rage surged through his body but he decided not to say anything lest it may create a scene...and this was already uncomfortable enough for Khushi as it was.

As he walked the rest of the way, he cooed gently to his daughter who had rested her head on his shoulder,

"Baby do you know whose here?"

He felt her shake her head.

"Your cousins..." he said.

She looked up at him, her curls bouncing as her head flew up.

"Weally papa?" she asked as she held his face.

"Mmhmm" he said as he kissed her little fingers.

He walked over to the dining table where everyone had been settled in with breakfast being set on the table. He saw Khushi looking nervous and helping Leela with the cooking and setting up the table. Arnav sat down across his Di with his daughter in his lap. Shyam was seated next to Di looking down with furrowed eyebrows as if he was concentrating on something very important. Arnav looked at him with repulse. Shaila looked around the table which was devoid of any children. She whispered to her papa,

"papa...where are my cousins?" she whispered sweetly while hiding in his chest from the unknown people at the table.

"im guessing in the playroom baby" he whispered.

Shaila tried to get off his lap to go to the playroom where the children were playing. But before she could, Arnav knew she was in pain so he lifted her up so she was on his shoulders. She squealed happily and ruffled his hair.

Nani and anjali looked at their chotey holding and playing his daughter with smiles on their faces. He had gone through so much pain and hardships in his life that he deserved this...deserved being loved unconditionally and innocently..someone who looks up to him when she needs him. Someone who seeks his and only his protection. Someone who will think of him as an inspiration. An idol. A father.

He entered the playroom to see akhil and amana sitting on the floor playing with their respective toys while Suhana was in the lap of Hari Prakash. So they had brought HP along? arnav thought. He set his daughter down and instructed HP to watch over them carefully.

He came back just as breakfast was served. Khushi took the only empty seat on the table which was next to Arnav but also unfortunately turned out to be right across from the snake.

She looked around the table and once everyone was done serving themselves she reached out for the plate with the poori. As she almost touched the plate, Shyam grabbed the plate and brused his hand across hers. Khushi withdrew her hand immediately and stood up.

She rushed to the bathroom and washed her hands then her face. She looked at her reflection for a while. She couldn't stand the sight of that man. She just couldn't.

She heard someone knocking on the door.

"Khushijii!? You okay khushiji?" a worried NK asked. NK Khushi smiled. The only one who believed her. He had tried to help her but unfortunately could not. She smiled sadly.

She came out of the bathroom and smiled at him and nodded her head.

Meanwhile at the table

Khushi rushed out of sight. Arnav was about to follow her when nani stopped him and shook her head.

"Give her some time chotey...she must be really surprised and distressed seeing us here" she said softly. Arnav gingerly sat back in his chair. He looked angrily at Shyam who was looking around gauging the reaction of those at the table. Everyone was looking at him confusedly...unaware of what had just transpired. The only people who saw what had just happened were Arnav, Shyam...and ...Anjali.

Anjali looked at her husband with an unknown glint in her eyes. Was it confusion? Realization? Hurt? Arnav couldn't tell.

Anjali looked at Shyam. She saw what he had just done. He just tried to take hold of Khushi's hand? She had come back here only to get Khushi back for her chotey who was achingly miserable without her. That was the only reason she had. She still never forgave her for luring Shyam away from her. Anjali had always thought Khushi the treacherous one. Never once had she even had doubt about her own husband. Yet seeing this and Khushi running out was enough to spark some sort of doubt for him. Anjali looked away vowing to look more into the subject later as now was not a good time.

Soon Khushi entered the room with NK beside her looking like some sort of protector. Arnav clenched his fists. How come NK was allowed to go and comfort his wife while he, being her HUSBAND...could not?

Khushi sat down and ate her breakfast along with everyone else. Conversation flowed nicely around the table, with everyone pitching in apart from 4 people...Arnav. Khushi. Shyam. And Anjali. NK, Nani, mami, mama, Akash, and Payal had plenty to say.

Soon breakfast was over and Arnav guided everyone to the living room. As they all settled comfortably, Arnav spoke first.

"Well all of you are here for a reason...please do enlighten us" he said with Khushi sitting next to him on the plush loveseat.

The Raizada's all looked around at each other. Nani spoke first.

"No reason chotey...we just came to see Khushi"

Khushi looked at nani while nani looked back lovingly.

"Khushi...I think this is now a good time to talk about it..." she paused and looked around. Everyone had stiffened up at the mention of that dreaded day.

"What...what we did...was not right. Kicking you out of the house like that...especially when you were carrying choteys blood...our own blood."

Arnav reached for Khushi's hand to give her some kind of support. But Khushi pulled away before he could. She looked directly at nani.

"We still don't know what happened between you and Shyam. We may never know I guess. But now you are the mother of Choteys daughter and you must return home. That is your rightful place bitiya. A long time has passed since that day but we must come to terms with it."

Khushi sat there unmoving. She was thinking of what nani had just said. So, they hadn't forgiven her and they still weren't aware of the truth. They still didn't believe her over him. Nani was just saying that she had to go back to that house out of duty.

Well...that just was not possible and would never be as long as that snake lurked those halls. Khushi could never inhabit the same roof as him. She just couldn't.

A phone rang and she realized it was his. The snake's. He excused himself and walked to the balcony.

Anjali spoke next.

"Khushi...none of us know the truth. I am sorry for how I treated and spoke to you that night but the fact remains that I...I still believe my husband. I still don't fully forgive you...I don't think I ever can but I do want you back in our home because of Chotey. I've seen his state without you in his life and trust me...I never want to see it again."

Khushi just couldn't believe it. Who did these people think they were? How dare they speak to her like this? How could they even think that she would go back to living in a house where they though so poorly and disgustingly of her. No way.

Arnav was a little surprised as well. Truth be told, he wasn't expecting this from them. Their polite and cordial behavior proved too contradictory to what they were saying. Yes he knew that none of them believed Khushi but he didn't expect them to be so direct about it.

Khushi stood up abruptly and walked to the door. Arnav was afraid...was she going to leave him. Before he could do anything, she opened the door and turned back towards all of them.

"I suggest you leave...all of you" she said icily.

They all looked at her astonished. They were so confused at her reaction.

"Khushi...dont talk like that with my family" he said angrily to her.

"Either they leave or I go Arnav." she said dangerously

He stared at her dumbfounded at the ultimatum she had just given him.

"Khushi how can you even-"

She cut him off and looked at him.

"I cannot make this decision right now. Please Arnav do not make me make this decision. All I'm asking for is time." She said with as much confidence as she could muster, her only vulnerability evident in her eyes.

He nodded in resignation.

He looked at his family and kindly signaled for them to do as Khushi asked. When they stared at him in shock, he spoke

"She needs time to think. Please don't force her right now"

They nodded in understanding and left. Khushi only hugged payal and NK gave her a choking bear hug. Anyone else that tried to hug her, she backed away and folded her hands in Namaste.

Arnav realized that Shyam was still somewhere on his phone. He went to look for him. He found him on the balcony pacing back and forth whispering furiously.

Arnav moved closer, careful not to be seen

"Yes...she's finally back. I know..but she's here now. Yes yes. Alright " he whispered furiously

Arnav clenched his fists. He was talking about Khushi...was planning something...but what was it? He saw Shyam shut off the phone and scurry away before he could catch him.

Shyam exited the place as well but not before giving her a full up and down body glance. He grinned wickedly. Khushi moved away and shut the door as soon as he was gone. She leaned against the frame and sighed unaware that once again...Arnav was a witness to everything.

Was he wrong here he thought? Was he right in believing Shyam when he had said Khushi had lured him in and that she was in love with him? Because what he was seeing...did not match up. Khushi seemed to be repulsed by him, utterly disgusted. But then he remembered their hug on the terrace and Khushi telling him to leave his Di. He had married her for it then. But even after marriage...their affair continued.

Khushi looked down when she felt a tug on her dupatta. She saw her daughter standing weakly on her feet. She picked her up and kissed her lovingly.

"Where's papa?" Shaila asked. After looking around and not seeing him she looked back at her mother worried,

"did he leave again mama? Did he go away mama? Mama did he leave me and go?" she asked on the verge of tears.Arnavs heart pierced in two and he rushed towards them and took his daughter giving her kisses. He smiled seeing the relief wash over her face.

"He's right here baby. Papas right here...I promised didn't I...Im never leaving you...papas never going anywhere okay baby?" he said as he snuggled her close. Khushi teared slightly seeing this. Was her daughter going to react like this if she woke up and found her mama gone?

But Khushi knew she had to leave...and especially now once the opinion of the Raizada's was made clear to her.
