Chapter Two
Khushi woke up with a warm and comfortable feeling .Her eyes were still closed and she decided to sleep for some more time so she snuggled into the soft pillow more.
"Wait why the mattress feels so soft ?" Thought khushi.Isn't she supposed to feel hard cold poolside floor against her body and shiver in cold December air.Thats when khushi kumari Gupta ...well now Singh Raizada decided to wake up properly from her peaceful and super comfortable morning sleep.She sat up in the bed and immediately looked beside her.Well the other side of bed was empty much to her relief but the crumpled bed sheets were telling her somebody did occupied the other side of the bed.
" hey devi maiya ?What am I doing here.I was sleeping on poolside floor.Then how did I ended up here on Arnavjis bed."
And thats when khushi recalled last nights happenings.how her life changed in a couple of hours.She was so happy last evening .Her jiji was finally getting married .Her amma ,bauji ,buaji everyone was happy.Her laad Governor wasn't troubling her that much scratch that he was troubling her but not in a bad way .She was so sure when Arnavji called her to meet him at the poolside that he is gonna say something significant to her.Maybe confess his loo...
"No no no don't go there khushi that man cant love any one".Didn't he broke her heart into million pieces every time she expected something from him.He broke her heart for the second time last night after Diwali.He caged her in a six month sentence ,blackmailed her and didn't even give an explanation.Actually he did last night.What did he say "I married you because i hate you because i want you to suffer and I will personally throw you out from my life as soon as six months end.In the meantime why don't you enjoy all the luxury that comes with marrying me.I know you will because thats all you want.So stop playing victim with me.This is more than a fair deal for a gold digger like you."
The cruelty of his words silenced her ,and the the hate in his eyes ...she died a thousand dead seeing the intensity of hate in those beautiful chocolate brown eyes.She didn't say a word after that even when he threw her out of his room.
Khushis eyes teared up as she recalled last night but their are more pressing matter to think about right now. "How did she end up on Arnavs bed.Did he actually cared enough to carry her inside ?And did he really share the bed with her last night"
"Bas karr khushi" she scolded her self." There must be a sane explanation.May be I have started sleepwalking .Yeah I must have sleepwalked and ended up here."
"Yeah right."Khushis brain mocked her and said " You have successfully managed not only to sleepwalk from poolside to here but also get tucked safely and properly under the duvet.And what about the fact that you have never sleepwalked in your entire life.And how do you explain the crumpled bed sheets of other side.huh?the best possible explanation is he must have carried you inside and tucked you under the duvet."
"Shut up " Khushi scolded her mind for going into dangerous territory." I have started sleepwalking and thats it.I wont believe anything about him caring enough to carry me inside.I refuse to believe that he feels anything for me other that hate and disgust.I have made that mistake twice before and guess what twice my heart got broken."
" He wanted a six months marriage right.And we have to act as a happily married couple for six month.Alright thats what he is gonna get.She will follow his rules and after six months she will leave him forever.Thats what he wants right then thats what he will get."
With that thought khushi finally got up from the bed .She wont be at his mercy anymore.She wont be at any ones mercy anymore.
Arnav was running he stopped for a moment to catch his breath .An early morning jog always helps to clear his mind and helps him to think properly.He woke up at 5 am and felt something soft plastered against his body.He opened his eyes and saw the most beautiful site in the whole wide world.His innocent wife was half lying on him with her one hand over his chest and one leg over his thigh.Her eyes were closed and her long lashes were resting against her cheek.She was looking like a small child without any worry .Arnav's hold on her waist tightened and he shifted his face to get a better view of her face.His sudden movement caused Khushi to to scrunch her cute nose in annoyance and she hid her face in the crook of his neck.Arnav felt a shiver run through his entire body when Khushis lips came in contact with the side of his neck.Well she did it in her sleep.As much as Arnav liked to stay there with his wife in his arms ,his innocent wife's innocent gesture caused a havoc in his senses and gave birth to some very non innocent thoughts and her leg over his thigh wasn't exactly helping either.Before he could get his mind out of gutter and think of something else he found himself harden painfully.So after that there was no sleep for Arnav so he got up kissed khushis forehead lovingly and tucked the duvet properly around his wife.Well after that a very frustrated Raizada went for his morning jog to clear his mind from unholy thoughts. After an hour of running he decided to head home.
Khushi wanted to take a shower .She is still wearing the same lehenga choli she wore for jijis weeding.Actually this lehenga choli is her weeding dress,even if it was a forced one she decided to keep it somewhere safe.
"What will i wear now i dont have any cloths with me.but i really meed to take a shower and get out of this cloths."
Khushis thought broke when she saw anjali walking in with a sarre and box of jwellery in her hands and of course she didnt knock.She was the only person who didnt blame her last night ,she didnt demand answer from her .Anjali questioned her brother instead .And today when she walked in her eyes didn't held any bitterness her eyes were warm and held adortion for her.Anjali gave khushi a warm smile and said
" Good Morning khushiji.I brought some clothes and jwellery for you.Take a shower and come down for puja.And khushiji this is for you "she placed a small and beautiful golden pot on khushis hand.
Khushi didnt have to open the pot to know that it was filled with vermillion.Her eye teared up seeing anjalis warm smile.She was the first person to talk to her normally after her and arnavs sudden elopement.She said in a shakey voice " Shukriya Anjaliji"
Anjalis heart went out for the innocent girl in front of her.The girl she knew for so many months,the girl whom she began to love like a sister.Yes their elopement and sudden marriage surprised anjali ,She was disaapointed.But she knew khushi and she also knew her brother .Khushi who believed in rituals,marriage and respected elders would never do something like that without any good reason.Her brother on the other hand never cared about any of the above.So she was sure it must have been arnavs choice to suddenly get married and Arnav was more to blame for their elopement.Even if khushi wanted to elope and get married wasnt arnav supposed to act like a mature elder person .He is tweenty six where Khushi is only eighteen and she is still a child at heart.Arnav was the one who should be blamed and questioned not khushi.So last night she demanded answer only from her chote and obhiously didnt get any answer.When she saw khushis eyes tearing up she hugged her and said " Don't worry khushiji ,i dont blame you for whatever happened.I know chote, it must have been his idea.I am truly sorry for how you were treated last night.But don't think too much nani will forgive you soon and you family too will come round.She smiled and said " bohot hogaya rona dhona now you get ready and come downstairs soon.And stop crying rote hue ap bilkul bhi ache nehi lagte."
"Thik hai anjaliji"
"Anjaliji nehi di.if u call me anjaliji again i will be very mad at you.And khushiji can i call you Bhabi?"anjali asked with a cute smile.
" of course anj...i mean di" said khsuhi.
" thik hai to app jaldi nahake niche ajaiye" saying that anjali left.
Arnav entered rm his early morning jog really helped him to think properly about this whole mess of a situation .He made some mental notes too.
1.Shyam is a lying cheating adulterous bas***d.Arnav doesnt know yet how and when Shyam met khushi and how long he had been cheating on his di.But he will find out soon enough.Shyam Manohar Jhas days were numbered.
2.Khushi is innocent he just doesnt know her side of the story yet but she is innocent.
3.He needs to start making amends for hurting khushi so much.Last night he escaped to his room when khushi was blamed ,questioned and disowned by her family.and that thought shamed him.But enough is enough no one will ever treat his wife like that again.
4.Khushi must not know of the reason behind his hasty decision of marrying her forcefully.The fact that Arnav though for couple of hours believed the disgusting accusations and decided to trust that bas***d over her will hurt her immensely and she will never forgive him again.Haven't he hurted her enough already .So the truth behind their marriage must remain hidden and the six month clause must be removed.
5. Arnav cant just declare his love for Khushi now.She wont believe him .He has a long way to go even before expecting that his love will be reciprocated.He has to eliminate the six month marriage idea from her head and make her believe that this is a real marriage .She is stuck with him forever and he is never letting her go.
So gathering his thought together he head towards his room and the sight in front of him took his breath away.His wife was standing in a rose pink transparent net sari and a very very tiny choli.her choli was held together only by two thin threads and her entire back was bare.She was combing her long wet hair with utmost attention.Arnav had a sudden urge to take Khushi in his arms and kiss her senseless.To run his hand all over the creamy skin of her back and to do wild things to her which he wanted to do from a very long time .
"Control yourself control don't get distracted you have more important things to do.Your wife is not running away anywhere." With slow steps Arnav covered the distance between them and stood exactly behind khushi.he said in a low and husky voice " We need to talk khushi.I am gonna go take a shower and then we are gonna talk.Don't go downstairs alone .We will attend the morning pooja together and don't worry you are not gonna be late for pooja it still has an hour to start.Pick up the comb from floor and stop staring at me like you have seen some ghost" saying that a smirking Arnav went for a much needed cold shower leaving his bemused wife behind.
