Part 16

It was not surprising to Arnav when Khushi came out in the Black Robe. At least she got rid of those wet clothes which could make her sick. He had ordered for the soup which was brought in the room by the Room service. Arnav asked the lady to place it on the table.

Arnav: If Mr and Mrs Kapoor from Room 411 order anything, just include that in my Bill. They are my guests.

Room service: Yes Sir. I will inform the manager about it. Anything else you need?

Arnav: There are some clothes inside for laundry. Just get them ready as soon as you can.

He pointed at the bathroom and the Room service collected Khushi's dress and came out .

Room Service: It will take at least 3 hours to get the clothes ready Sir.

Arnav: Fine.

She left closing the door behind .Khushi now understood who the couple was whom she saw in that other room making out. Khushi was still standing at the corner waiting for him to concentrate on her. He locked the door . She closed her toe fingers as she felt a sharp uneasiness when her husband scanned her from top to bottom. The Robe was skinny and very seductive for a person like him not to turn hard. He moved his eyes away as this hardening had nothing to do at the moment. According to her condition, he had to wait for one more week and he respected that.

Arnav: Before the soup gets cold , come and have it.

She took baby steps and sat before him on the couch where the soup bowls were waiting to be noticed. SHe started drinking the soup while he was busy dialing some number

Khushi: Uhh. The Kapoor's ? Why are they here? In the Hotel?

Arnav: Its Mrs Kapoor's birthday today and she is back to India just to spend some time with Mr Kapoor. We had planned for a surprise and hence I booked the room in my name. But how did you know I have booked the room here?

Khushi: I had been to Office and i received this confirmation call in your cabin.

Arnav: I see. So your brains started ticking in the wrong direction and you thought I am here with someone else.?

She felt horrible when he confessed what she had thought earlier.

Arnav: Not your fault. If we wouldnt have been married and I was not bound by your conditions, your guess might have been true.

She angrily placed the soup bowl on table.

Khushi: I dont want to know all that. What matters to me is the present and the fact that you are abiding by my conditions with full honesty.

Arnav: I dont break promises. Especially the ones which I make to myself.

Khushi was proud of that statement.

Khushi: Where you always so understanding? Why didnt I realise this personality within you before? Everytime we met in our childhood when you came here in your holidays, I always thought you want to eat me up. The way you stared at me for long minutes, the way you warned me to stay out of your room, and the jealousy I read in your eyes when Paapa loved me and gave me more importance, I thought you hated me and this hate will be permanent. I was so wrong. Only after you opened up your past to me, made me realise what made you behave so cold with Paapa, Aunty and me, I could understand what you are going through.

Arnav: That doesnt change anything, except the fact that we are better with each other than before. Thats all that matters.

Khushi: Ek baat Kahu. (Can I say something?)

Arnav: Hmm.

Khushi: What do you feel for me now? I know you have drawn a boundary between us until we finish this one month condition, but what have you thought after that?

The question was difficult to answer ,he still gave a try , speaking his heart out.

Arnav: I think I will want to claim you as mine.

His confession was clear and had created some goosebumps on her sensitive skin already.

Khushi: You think? That means you are not sure?

Arnav: What kind of question is that? Are you provoking me?

Khushi: Just trying to be prepared for that day. Tell me Arnav, suppose tonight was the night. Same place ,same situation, me here in the robe, sitting before you. What would be your next step?

Arnav had already crossed all the barriers of his heart to feel the moment and get engrossed in the thought which Khushi was sharing with him. He got up from the couch and picked Khushi in his arms. She wrapped her hands around his neck. He carried her all the way to their king size bed and dropped her gently in the middle , hovering over her and settling himself just between her legs. Drops of sweat formed on her forehead but she didnt stop herself from the coming danger.

Khushi: Phir?

She wanted to feel him and the wait of 7 more nights was killing. Since when did she become so desperate for a man whom she hated so much in the past, she didnt know. Arnav waited for some seconds , meeting her eyes when she repeated her question again.

Khushi: Phir Arnav?

He leaned himself at the crook of her neck and placed a warm kiss, opening his mouth as much as possible to intake her scent and capture it inside him forever. She heaved abnormally digging her nails at his back. His confidence boosted as she acknowledged his act but that also made him remember their condition. He looked into her eyes.

Arnav: Lets keep the rest for that night.

Khushi : Let tonight be that night Arnav. I . I free you from that condition.

For a minute Arnav was blank as if he was given something he always wanted from her.

Arnav: Dont instigate me. This is not a time to play around Khushi. If you testing my patience then let me tell you , I will win. So dont even try.

She cupped his face in her palms with love.

Khushi: I am not testing you. I have done that enough Arnav. I want to reward you for this change, for this simplicity, for this holding up of desires. I dont want to wait for another weak , test you and then conclude the same what I am doing now. I have full faith in you.

He was bewildered. He was been openly invited to claim her. What else was he waiting for ?

Arnav: I might hurt you badly in this claiming process Khushi. Its hard to satisfy me completely .

Khushi: Manjoor hai.

She kissed both his eyes initiating their love making.

Arnav: This precautionless moment can lead you carrying my child.

Khushi sucked in his chin repeating the same lines.

Khushi: Manjur hai.

He closed his eyes inhaling her fruity shampoo which she had no idea always intoxicated him.

Arnav: You dont know the complete me yet Khushi. I still have hidden facts. Will you still want me?

Khushi pecked his lips softly murmuring her approval, drawing his hands at the knot of the robe.

Khushi: Manjur hai.

She was about to suck his lower lips with full intensity but he pulled back. She was clueless of his action.

Arnav: Par mujhe manjur nahi hai Khushi. I cant do this.

He got up from the bed turning away from her. She had no idea what was wrong with him. But understanding how arrogant he was and believing he was a man of his words who will never cut the condition which she gave until the duration is really complete, she came behind and hugged him.

Khushi: I am serious Arnav. But if you dont see it my way, we can wait.

Arnav closed his eyes controlling his desires which were badly against his rule anymore. He wanted to end Sheetal's matter before he enters into any physical relationships with Khushi, so what if she was his wife, so what if he is dying to touch her, but he didnt want any complications further. Khushi was his possession , the only one who could make him crave for her. Such feelings were unqiue for him, something which he never felt with anyone beside. Though she did tell him that his past wont affect her and their present, but he was scared of letting her know about Sheetal. What if she cannot accept it? Or should he give a try? But before that he should be making Sheetal know her position in his life from now on afterwhich he will have a proof for Khushi which she can rely on that everything is sorted between him and his past affairs and they can start a future together.

She woke up in the morning but didnt find her husband in the room which was surprising. Her dress was back and placed on the bed along with a small note. She read it to confirm if it was from him.

"Off to work. The Driver is waiting down to take you home."

She chuckled and kissed the note once. Getting changed to her clothes again she came out of the room. Garima Raizada 's call rang on her mobile.

Khushi: Morning Aunty.

Garima: Khushi have you started back for home?

Khushi: Not really. Just getting outside the hotel . Why?

Garima: I wanted to send someone at the Outhouse. Amit suspects to have left some office file there and its important.

Khushi: Outhouse ? Okay, dont worry on that. I will go and check once if there is any file left there by paapa.

Garima: Thank you beta. Come soon. Is Arnav with you ?

Khushi: No, he is off to work Aunty.

Garima: I cant believe this, How can he leave you alone in that hotel room and go? Careless boy.

Khushi: No Aunty, he really took care of me last night. I never expected him to be so worried for me.

Garima: Typical wife you have become. Cant hear a word against him, am I right?

Khushi just kept blushing and got inside the car asking the driver to head towards the Outhouse.

_____________

Outhouse

This place was always unvisited by her because she knew it was Arnav Singh Raizada's den. Whenever he wanted to stay away from the family, he came here. But today entering this place for the first time she wasnt scared. She was happy to explore it in the pretext of finding the files which her Paapa might have forgot here. She asked the maid which was Arnav's room. The maid hesitated a bit but then since she couldnt hide it from Khushi as she was Arnav's wife afterall, she pointed out the room on the first floor. Khushi just wanted to check his room once and feel his presence in it. May be she could get some insight about his past again which can be helpful in driving off those bitter memories forever from his life .She found the room open and to her surprise she even heard Arnav's voice. She stopped at the door to see what was he doing here and with whom? The smile that she carried on her lips until she reached her faded as she saw Sheetal in a White Satin Robe hugging Arnav from behind and rubbing his arms.

Arnav shrugged her hands and moved away to the wardrobe. But Sheetal was not ready to give up. She moved before him and started unbuttoning his shirt.

Sheetal: What has she done to you ASR that you forgot our 2 years old relationship we had ?

Khushi broke down witnessing this scene. Sheetal and Arnav? They were in relationship? From 2 years ?Why didnt Arnav tell her about Sheetal? How could he hide it ? Why did he lie to her that he was gone to office ? Her eyes became moist with tears as she couldnt bare the scenes which were to happen here. She ran down unable to control her tears. Arnav could feel something was wrong here. When Sheetal touched his button, he pushed her back in anger pointing a finger at her.

Arnav: Dont you dare Sheetal. Stay away from me. Just pack your clothes and leave this house. Now.

Picking a file from the cupboard he left the room too. When he came down he saw the Maid coming towards him in hurry.

Maid: Sir, Khushi Madam had come . She had asked for your room some minutes back and suddenly I saw her leaving the house crying.

Arnav was shocked and raged.

Arnav: What the Hell. She came here and you allowed her to come upstairs? Dont you

He wished to kill this maid for being so ignorant but that was not important. If Khushi went back crying means she did see something and he had to clear her doubts before it was too late. He rushed outside towards his Car.
