Chapter 15
One hour later, xyz hospital
Khushi alongwith Arav, Arnav, Sheetal and Akash came to hospital for DNA test. The Inspector was waiting for them there. After completing the procedure and giving samples, they started waiting for the results.
Arav was sitting with Khushi. Sheetal was standing in a corner smirking at Khushi. Arnav and Akash were pacing here and there in the waiting room.
After sometime, the Inspector came with the reports. Seeing him, everyone stood up. Sheetal immediately came near him and started bombarding him with questions.
Sheetal: Sir, did the reports come. What does it say. I know it says that Arav is not Khushi's son. It's proved na that Arav's not Khushi's son. I will get my son now, right?
Inspector looked at Sheetal variedly. He looked at the two men standing before him with curious and questioning eyes. He then looked at Khushi who was looking calm but the slight tension on her face was clearly visible. On the other hand, Arav still clung to Khushi's waist clutching her tightly afraid that if he will leave then he will loose his mother forever.
Inspector (addressing Khushi): The reports have come.
Sheetal (interrupting him): Oh really. Then why are you waiting. Just say the reports fast and give my son back to me. Anyways I know that the reports must be negative. But still you just read the reports and finish this problem.
Inspector (irritated): Shut up Miss Kapoor. Stop interrupting me. So I was saying that the reports have come and it is...
Sheetal was excitedly smiling at the Inspector. Arnav and Akash looked at the Inspector with their hearts practically on their mouths afraid of the outcome. Khushi had a neutral expression on her face and Arav has dug his face on her stomach once again.
Inspector: The report is positive. It says that Arav Agnihotri is Khushi Agnihotri's son.
Hearing the report everyone's facial expression changed. Sheetal looked at the Inspector with shocked expression. Arnav and Akash looked as if their eyes would prop out of its sockets any moment. Khushi was smirking at Sheetal while Arav was smiling.
Sheetal (shocked and being hyper): What? What nonsense are you talking Inspector? How is it possible? It's impossible? Arav is my son. I am his mother. Then how come Khushi and Arav's DNA match. This is not true. Yes, this report is fake. It's fabricated. I know it's done by her. (Turning to Khushi) I know it's done by you. You only made the doctors make this fake report right. Tell me how much did you pay them. How much money did you give them to make this fake report. Tell me Khushi. How much money did you give.
Inspector: Stop it Miss Kapoor. Stop this nonsense. Can't you see the reports. It clearly states that Arav is Mrs Khushi's son.
Sheetal: No inspector it is not true. Arav's my son. I am sure this Khushi has done something to make these reports.
Inspector: Shut up Miss Kapoor. That is enough. First you came to police station and filed a fake complaint against Mrs Khushi. Then when we came for enquiry you didn't had any documents or proofs. Then you wanted a DNA test. Now when the test reports have come, you are again denying it. Are you mad. Do you know what crime you have done by filing wrong case and trying to mislead Police. Moreover you also wasted our time for this nonsense of yours. You know how big an offense this is. You can get jail for it.
Sheetal: No Inspector. This is not true. I am saying truth Arav's my son. This Khushi has done some manipulation and had changed the reports. Wait. I know. I know even you are involved with her in it, right. Tell me how much money did she give you. You are doing all these on her saying right. I know it. You are also lying. Everyone is lying. Arav's my son. I will take him back.
Turning to Arav and trying to pull him.
Sheetal: Come Arav. We will go. Come. These people are bad. They are going to snatch you from me. Come with me Arav. We will go far away.
She was continuously trying to pull Arav towards her when she felt a strong hold on her hand. Looking up she saw Khushi holding her hand firmly. Khushi took her hands away from Arav and threw it away.
Khushi: Enough Miss Kapoor. Stop this nonsense right now. I had enough of it. What the hell are you doing. First you were claiming my son as yours. Now when it's proved that Arav's my son. You are denying that again troubling me and my son. I had enough of your absurd behavior. Now stop this nonsense.
Inspector (interrupting): Mrs Khushi is right, Miss Kapoor. Now stop your nonsense. We are not going to take any action against you for all that you have done till now. But if you don't stop this nonsense of yours, then we will be forced to take action against you.
Sheetal: What? You will take action against me. Why will you take action against me. What did I do. If you want to take action then take it against this Khushi. She is the one who first kidnapped my son, then I don't know what she has told him that he is saying that I am not his mother. Now she is trying to snatch him from me using these fake proofs. I know all these are fabricated. You arrest her for this. Once you will question her she will say all truth. You take her away and give my son to me.
Arav: No. Inspector Uncle, she is lying. She is not my Mumma. This is my Mumma. She is really bad. She always trouble me. You take her away. I don't want to see her.
Sheetal (angry): Arav you...
Sheetal raised her hand to hit Arav Ony to be stopped by Khushi.
Khushi: See Inspector what this mad woman is doing. She is hitting my child. You please take her away. I don't know what she is trying to do by claiming my son to be hers. But I can't take it anymore. You please ask her to stay away from my son.
Sheetal: What did you say I am mad. I am not mad. But you are a lying b***h who is trying to snatch my son.
Inspector (annoyed): Enough Miss Kapoor. Mind your language and lower your tone. Don't forget we are in the hospital. And stop your nonsense. (Turning to Khushi) Now we are leaving. If you need any help or if there is any problem you can contact us.
Khushi: Thank you Inspector.
With that Police left. Arnav and Akash were silent spectators of the whole scene. They didn't know what was happening. The report that Khushi's Arav's mother surely shook them. They couldn't understand how it happened.
Even if they didn't want to accept it but it is truth that Arav's Sheetal and Arnav's son. Then how come Arav's DNA matched with Khushi's, surely confused them. But they couldn't say anything, otherwise Khushi would get trapped which they didn't want. So they kept quiet.
But when Sheetal accused Khushi of making fake reports they were slightly frightened as they knew that somewhere that's the truth. But what angered them more was Sheetal asking Inspector to arrest Khushi and take her to jail. That made them mad that they felt like strangling Sheetal.
Arnav: Sheetal, what were you doing. What you were thinking while asking Inspector to arrest Khushi.
Sheetal: Oh now my asking Inspector to arrest her is the problem. Can't you see what your beloved wife had done. She made fake reports to prove that Arav's her son. When she didn't get any other way to prove Arav as her son, she made fake reports. Don't you have anything to ask her. You are coming and questioning me. Go and ask her why she is doing all these.
Arnav: Sheetal shut up. Aren't you satisfied with the little drama that you have done or is there anymore. Because clearly here none is interested. Let's go home.
Sheetal: What do you mean by drama, Arnav. So you think all this is my drama. You think I am doing drama. You know Arav's my only son. I just want him. If someone is doing drama here, then it's your wife. She is the one who is doing all these.
Sheetal (to Khushi): Tell me the truth what did you do. How did you make these fake reports. Why are you doing all this.
Khushi (irritated and nonchalant): Stop it Miss Kapoor. I had enough of you. If you think that all these reports are fabricated then you can think whatever you want. I don't care. I don't owe you any answers. And listen to me very carefully Miss Kapoor, whether this report is true or fabricated it doesn't matter. What matters is Arav's my son. Whether I gave birth to him or not, he is my baby. My son. And nobody can change it. I won't allow anybody to touch him or take him away from me. Got it. So stay away from my son.
Sheetal: What I should stay away from him. I should stay from my son. Are you mad. You know what I know why you are doing all these. It's because you are jealous of me. I am your husband's first child's mother. His first love. So that only you are doing all these na. You are nothing but a selfish down market cheap girl who don't have any class and style. That's why you are jealous of me because I am your husband's first choice. The perfect one for him.
Hearing this Arnav, Akash and Arav fumed. All three of them wanted nothing but to make Sheetal's life a living hell.
Arnav: What the. How dare you Sheetal. How dare you say such things about Khushi.
Sheetal: What wrong did I say Arnav. You only say otherwise why will she do something like this. Snatching my son from me.
Arnav: Sheetal, stop it. Don't cross your limits.
Sheetal: Arnav, I am not crossing any limits. I am just saying the truth. Your wife is just jealous of me. Whatever may happen the fact won't change that I am your son's mother. Your first son's mother. The first woman you have touched. I am the one who came close to you first way before her. Obviously she would be jealous and insecure about me. That's why she is trying to get back at me using Arav.
Arnav looked away feeling disgusted hearing Sheetal's words. He felt disgusted thinking that even though in his intoxicated state he got intimate with such a woman and unknowingly betrayed his Khushi.
Khushi: Think whatever you want Miss Kapoor. I don't care. And one more thing don't live in this false notion that I am jealous of you. Because there is nothing for which I should be jealous of you. You are nothing but a cheap low lying w***e who is ready to sleep with any man you see. And I will never be jealous of a woman like that. And regarding Mr Raizada's preferences and feelings for me, it's not something that I am bothered about. He can go to hell for all I care. What he thinks of me or what he feels for me is not something that will affect me. He is nothing for me other than a mere business associate. So don't ever think that if he gives important to you or he loves you then it is going to affect me.
And what were you saying I don't have any class and style. Hahaha. Well I must say it was a nice joke. In which world are you living in. Don't forget with whom you are talking to. Khushi Agnihotri. I don't need to prove to you my class and style. My name KAG itself will tell you my class and style.
My father is one of the topmost business tycoon all over the world. I am his only daughter. The Princess of Business World. That itself is a class, Miss Kapoor. And regarding style and fashion, then I must say you are blind and deaf. Because otherwise you will be knowing that I am the owner of the biggest fashion house in this whole world. Even the whole wardrobe of yours won't cost as much as one showstopper dress of my creations. And you are telling me that I, KAG don't have class and style. World knows who KAG is and what KAG is. I don't have to prove it to you. So just get lost.
Sheetal looked at Khushi with angry face hearing her insult. Akash was looking at Khushi with many emotions, pride, admiration and little bit fear. Arav was smiling happily seeing his strong and courageous mother.
Arnav had different emotions going through him. He felt pride hearing Khushi boldly saying about her position and achievements. But he felt hurt when she said that he doesn't matter for her. His feelings and emotions doesn't matter for her. He felt his heart breaking when she said that he means nothing to her but mere business associate.
Khushi was annoyed with Sheetal. She had had enough of Sheetal's absurd behavior so he took Arav and left from there. Akash also left from there as he had an urgent meeting to attend. Arnav was standing there lost in his thoughts.
Sheetal smirked seeing him as an idea crossed her mind. She immediately made a crying face and went to him.
Sheetal (crying): Arnav...
Hearing her Arnav's anger raised.
Arnav (angry): Stop it, Sheetal. Stop this fake tears of yours.
Sheetal (crying more): Arnav, I am sorry. I know I have done a big mistake. My behavior is not justified. But Arnav I did all these to get Arav. I thought if I will bring Police then Khushi will give Arav back to me. But see what she did she made fake reports to keep Arav with her. I thought if I will badmouth and insult her then she will get angry and tell the truth that Arav's my son. Then I will get Arav. But it didn't happen. Moreover she insulted both of us. Forget about me but think about what she said about you. She said that you didn't matter for her. You are nothing for her. Just think Arnav all this is happening because of me and Arav. I know from the time we entered your life all these problems are happening. Khushi has gone away from you. It's all because of me and Arav. If we will go away from your life everything will be fine. Please Arnav just give Arav back to me we will go away. Then everything will be fine between you and Khushi. You can live your life happily with Khushi and your kids. You don't have to stay away from them. You will get them back. Also now you have kids, you guys can be happy with them. We will go away. We won't bother you anymore. Just give Arav back to me.
Arnav listened all that Sheetal said. Somewhere he felt her words are true. From the time Arav and Sheetal had entered their lives Khushi is going far away from him. Today also Khushi said all that because of them. If they will go away from their life then he will get Khushi back and everything will be fine.
He decided to help Sheetal. He will give Arav back to her and then send them out of his house and their lives. Then he will convince Khushi and live happily with her. He decided to talk to Khushi regarding giving Arav back to Sheetal. With that Arnav left from there with a smirking Sheetal behind him who was happy seeing her plan working.
***************
Shantivan
Khushi reached Shantivan alongwith Arav. Everyone was waiting for them in the living room curious to know the results of the DNA test and what happened in the hospital.
As soon as Payal saw Khushi and Arav entering through the main door, she immediately ran to her. The little ones were playing in their rooms.
Payal (excited): Kuku, what happened. Did the reports come. What does it say. Is everything alright.
Khushi (turning to Arav): Baby you go to your room and play with the little ones.
Arav: OK Mumma.
Arav ran away from there
Khushi (turning to Payal): Yes Di. The reports came. It is proved that Are is my son.
Payal (smiling widely): That's great.
But hearing the results of DNA test the Raizada ladies were shocked. They couldn't understand what was happening. At that time they heard the front door opening. They saw Arnav coming in alongwith a smirking Sheetal.
Arnav came and stood in front of Khushi.
Arnav : Khushi, I want to talk to you.
Khushi (slightly annoyed): Mr Raizada, how many times I told you don't call me Khushi. Call me KAG. Anyways right now I am not interested in talking to you. I am tired and I am going to my room.
With that Khushi started going upstairs. But Arnav caught her hand and pulled her towards him. Khushi fell on his chest and Arnav held her in his arms by clutching her waist. Khushi started struggling in his arms.
Khushi (angry and annoyed): What is this, Mr Raizada. Leave me. What sort of behavior is this. You are misbehaving Mr Raizada. Leave me. I said leave me Mr Raizada.
Arnav: No Khushi, I won't leave you. I have to talk to you and I want you to listen to me.
Khushi (angry, struggling in his arms): I don't want to hear anything. Just leave me Mr Raizada.
Arnav: No Khushi. You have to listen.
Khushi: I said I don't want to listen.
Arnav: Stop it Khushi. Stop this nonsense of yours. What are you doing Khushi. What are you trying to prove by doing all these. What is all this drama. Why don't you accept that you are Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. My wife. And who is this Khushi Agnihotri. What are you trying to prove by saying and doing all these. I can't understand anything why you are doing all these. First you left me three years back all of a sudden without telling me anything. You didn't even inform me that you were pregnant. You took Arav also with you. Now after three years you have come back. I am happy that you came back. But why are you doing all these. If you are angry with me then shout at me, hit me, show your anger but why are you not accepting that you are Khushi. My Khushi. Why are you trying to prove yourself as someone else. Why are you behaving like you don't know any of us. Why are you trying to snatch Arav from Sheetal and saying that Arav is your son. Khushi, I know you are angry with me for all that happened between me and Sheetal. But try to understand Khushi, I never tried to betray you intentionally. Sheetal and Arav are my past. I don't love them. I love you. You are my life. My everything. You are my present and my future. I love you and our kids. Please don't do all these Khushi. Just give Arav back to Sheetal. They will go away from our life. We will live happily. If you want to show your anger you can fight with me. I am ready to take any punishment given by you. But don't behave like this, Khushi. Don't do all these Khushi.
Khushi was angry hearing all these. She pushed him away from her and slapped him tightly on his cheeks. Everyone was stunned seeing that. Sheetal's smirk was wiped off from her face. She looked a little frightened.
Raizada ladies were shocked seeing their sweet and innocent Khushi in this Kali avatar. Her eyes were blood shot red and were spitting fire. Even Payal was astonished seeing her sister. She has seen Khushi angry before but to this extent that she lost her cool and slapped a person, it never happened before. But this showed only one thing to her. The amount of pain, hurt and devastation that the man standing before her had caused her little sister. She could feel nothing but pain of her little sister behind that anger. Payal looked away as she felt tears blurring her vision seeing her sister's pain.
She knew that her little sister is strong. Way strong than she could imagine. She doesn't need her support. She could handle herself. But still the pain of her younger sibling made Payal hurt. She felt her anger raising towards the people standing before them. She just wanted to punish them for all the pain and hurt they have caused her and her sister.
Looking ahead Payal saw a fire breathing Khushi looking at Arnav as if she would burn him down in her anger. Arnav looked down not able to see the anger, pain and fire in her eyes. It somewhere scared him. Also made him guilty. Because he knew that whatever she is now it is only because of him. His own deeds had killed the innocent sweet loving girl his wife was and had turned her into this heartless, cold, ruthless woman in front of him. It made his heart heavy with guilt. Khushi held Arnav's collar and shook him.
Khushi (angry): What the hell did you say right now, Mr Raizada, that I should give my son, my Aru, to that b***h. How dare you say something like that, Mr Raizada. Haan how dare you say something like that. What the hell do you think of yourself. Are you God. Who the hell are you take decision that I should give my son to her. What the hell do you think of yourself.
Arnav (defeated): Khushi...
Khushi (gritting her teeth): KAG, call me KAG. Only my loved ones can call me Khushi and you are not one of them.
Arnav (gulping): KAG, I know you are hurt because of the fact that Arav's my and Sheetal's son. But please Khushi. Don't do this. Let Arav go. Don't snatch Arav from his mother. It will only complicate things. Please don't do it. Give Arav back to Sheetal.
Khushi: Enough, Mr Raizada. Stop it right now. From the time I came here I am hearing this same thing again and again that Arav's your and this Sheetal's son. I am fed up of it. Now stop it. And listen carefully Arav is my son and nobody. I mean it nobody can snatch my son away from me.
Arnav (helplessly): KAG...
Khushi: Stop Mr Raizada. Not even a word more. From the day I have come here I am hearing your, your family's and this girlfriend of yours's words. Now I will speak and you people will listen.
Arnav (frustrated): She is not my girlfriend, dammit.
Khushi (sarcastically): Oh really. She is not your girlfriend. Then what's she. Your wife. Because from the time I came here I am hearing that Arav's her and your son. Even you said it few minutes back. So if she is not your girlfriend, then are you such a man who goes around getting every girl pregnant who you come across.
Arnav: Khushi, you know that she is my ex girlfriend. And regarding Arav it was just a one night stand which I don't even remember. I was drunk and pretty wasted that I don't remember what exactly happened that night.
Khushi: OK fine I agree that she was your ex girlfriend. But what is she to you now. I can see that she is living in this house. From what I can see she is not staying here from few days. But it seems like she is staying here like from years. So tell me if she is your ex girlfriend and now just a mere friend like you have said earlier, then why is she staying here for years. Why didn't you ask her to live. That also when according to what you said, your wife, as in me, left this house because of her three years back. Don't you think you should have asked her to leave when your wife left house. (Turning to Raizadas) Don't you all think it's absurd to keep a stranger woman at home where two men are there that too when their wives are not present at home.
Arnav gulped hearing that. He didn't have an answer. Raizada ladies looked at each other with shocked expression. They never thought about the matter in such a way. They felt ashamed of themselves for their careless behaviour. They didn't have anything to answer her. Nani felt bad thinking that she let such a big mistake happen in her house.
Khushi (to Arnav): So what I was saying. Yeah you only tell me what relation you have with her that you are keeping her in your house from all these years. Who is she to you. Your lover, girlfriend or wife. Because as far as no friend will stay in her friend's house for such a long time that also a man's house.
Arnav (feeling guilty): Khushi, I am sorry...
Khushi: Hey hey hey. Don't say sorry because I am not finished yet. So what were you saying. Yeah that I am your wife, right. So let's come to that. So according to you, I am your wife and my name is Khushi Kumari Gupta. But as far as I remember my name is Khushi Agnihotri from the time I am born. So if you are my husband then how come you didn't know about it.
Arnav: Khushi, you never told me anything about it.
Khushi: Yeah, I didn't told anything about it to you, right. (Pretending to think) But why didn't I said anything about it to you. But tell me Mr Raizada when should I have told you about my identity to you. Because as far as I can see that you are not bothered about anything related to me. OK let's forget all that happened in the past. Let's start from what happened from the time I came here.
First when I came here, you were astonished to see me. You looked as if you are seeing the eighth wonder. I could clearly see that you were shocked to see me in modern dress, speaking English and being elegant. So that means you think so low of me that you could never imagine me in such a way. According to you I am a clumsy, down market, middle class, girl who can't talk English, who can't wear modern dress and has no fashion sense. Not only you even your brother couldn't believe seeing me and my sister like that. Do you remember how he reacted. He got into a fainting spree for almost one hour.
After that we came to your house. Well here another drama happened. Your beloved Mami started calling me and my sister names and started insulting us. Tell me one thing Mr Raizada have you ever respected your wife. If you would have then you wouldn't have never allowed your Mami to her names. Because I could clearly see that it is not the first time your Mami was insulting your wife calling her names. OK fine leave all that. We will let it go as you said I am your wife and this is your family. OK it is between family members. It's OK.
But tell me one thing Mr Raizada. You didn't stop your family members when they were insulting me but your guest. Well according to what you claim Miss Kapoor is your friend and she is staying at your house for few days which makes her your guest. So tell me Mr Raizada, will you stay quiet if your guest also insult your wife. Won't you say anything. Also tell me this will you stay quiet like this if your guest insult any other family members other than your wife.
For example let's take your sister. As I remember the other day your sister made some food and your so called guest cum friend didn't like it. So she was scolding your sister and you got so angry that you asked your guest. Mr Raizada your guest to leave the dining table. I mean you literally insulted your guest for your sister but you never said anything when she used to insult me aka your wife. Why, is it some special previlage available for your wife that she should take up all the insults everyone throws at her even if that person is some guest or some roadside trash. You wouldn't say anything. Why because she's your wife and your wife means she has to suffer all the pain and hurt right. Isn't what she gets for being the great Arnav Singh Raizada's wife.
Arnav felt suffocated hearing her words. He didn't had anything to say her. With each of her words. He felt his guilt weighing more and more. He couldn't take it. The Raizada ladies were also crying hearing all that. They knew that it was her pain speaking. But the realization that they have caused her this pain was killing them. Mami couldn't even raise her head and look at Khushi. She felt ashamed of her deeds.
Khushi (continued): So tell me Mr Raizada is it how you and your family behave with your wife. I mean I came here as your business associate. Then also I have to bear so much insult, I couldn't even imagine how you guys must have behaved with your wife. Well Mr Raizada. I have no wonder why your wife left you. If this used to be your behavior three years back then I can very well understand why she left you. Anyways I am not interested in all these talk. So let's come to the main point and that's Arav. Mr Raizada from the time my son came here your friend, girlfriend, wife whatever she is, she is trying to snatch my son away from me. She has claimed day and night that Arav's her son. Now I had enough of it. So I am saying it for the last time. ARAV IS MY SON. If you or your friend or anybody for that matter try to snatch him from me then they will see another side of me and trust me it won't be so pleasant. So I am warning you all for the last time. Stay away from my kids. If I see you near them or trying to trouble my Aru then it won't be good for you. Don't make me take extreme steps Mr Raizada. So just away from us.
With that Khushi went upstairs. Payal also went behind her after glaring at Raizadas. Arnav felt tired and defeated. He felt like his whole life is crumpling. Shaking his head he left for his room in attempt to get some solace in the memories of the room. Raizada ladies also left from there.
Sheetal was the silent spectator of the whole conversation. She could see her defeat in front of her. All her plans were brutally ruined by Khushi. She couldn't do anything. She decided not to take any step in haste and decided to wait for a perfect opportunity.
In the evening Akash came from office. Anjali told him about all that happened between Arnav and Khushi. Hearing that Akash felt guilty. Because somewhere he had also done the same mistakes to Payal. Feeling suffocated under the weight of guilt he left to his room not able to take it anymore.
Precap: Arnav Singh Raizada v/s Arshi Agnihotri
So how was it. I don't know how it came out. A confrontation between Arnav and Khushi. The emotions were too strong. I hope I have done justice to it. If there was any mistakes please forgive me. Also please comment. I want all your comments to encourage me to write further.
