The basketball match was just over. Arnav had won. Khushi was so happy that she literally started running towards Arnav. But before she could reach the spot Sheetal was there talking to Arnav.
"i always won Arnav ! " she laughed.
"I used to let you win Sheetal " he replied with a smile.
Jealous was not the word to describe her there. She controlled her tears and ran to the kitchen. She wanted to cry but instead she chose to be strong and started making tea for everyone. Now she was tired of all the crying and worrying.
"Why am i so worrid to lose him and trying my level best not to hurt him? " she asked herself, " When he doesn't even seem to care! "
She needed to add sugarto the tea which she realised was on the top shelf, so she brought a stool and stood on it. Just when she was about to get off , her leg slipped! Just at the right moment NK was there and he caught her in his arms.
But the interesting coincidence was that Arnav was walking in to the kitchen at that same time when Khushi fell in Nk's arms. Arnav's mouth was left open. Khushi and NK didn't notice Arnav so Khushi just smiled to NK and he smiled back. Khushi tried getting up but her foot slipped again. They both laughed at it.
"Careful Khushiji ! " Nk said while laughing.
"Thank you Nanheji ki aap samaye par aa gaye warna aaj toh hum gir kar apan haath paaon thod lete aur haspathal pahuch jaate" said a smiling Khushi.
"Oh No! No! Khushiji aisa mat kahiye ! Nothing will ever happened to you. I promise. Main hun na aap ke service mein hamesha " NK said gladly.
this was unbearable for Arnav. He clenched his fists in anger. How dare NK? Wait ! First of all how dare Khushi fall in arms? Just thinking about that made Arnav's blood boil. But what came next was such a shock to him.
"Pata hai Khushiji Arnav is so lucky that he got to marry you! If he wouldn't have then i definately would have married you"
Khushi smiled because at the moment all she needed was re-assurance that she wasn't a nuisance in everyone's life and people still wanted her around. she was tired of feeling unwanted. Unaccepted!
"Thank you Nanheji. Thats really sweet of you!" Khushi replied.
"KHUSHI!" shouted Arnav now ready to kill anyone and everyone!
"Hey Nannav mere bhai" NK smiled "tum kab aaye? and tum itne gusse mein kyun ho? What happened?"
Arnav without replying just went ahead, picked Khushi in his arms and headed straight to their bedroom leaving a confused NK behind.
Once he entered he put Khushi down and locked their bedroom. He wanted to turn back and pin Khushi to the wall but to his surprise when he turned around Khushi had already gone to the washroom to change in her nightdress.
"What the !" was the only thing Arnav could say.
Arnav desperately paced around the room as he waited for her to come out. After coming out Khushi went to her side of the bed and was about to sleep. She was ignoring him ? he thought. He got so frustrated that he decided to have a cold shower before having any discussion on this topic.
He came out and saw Khushi standing leaning on the frame of the french door. For a moment he forgot his anger. He just admired her petite frame and her long silky hair. She was so beautiful he thought. Thats when he again remembered NK's words.
"How dare Nk wished to marry her?" he thought,"And how dare she instead of telling Nk off she thanked him instead?"
He was red with anger.He jsut walkd to her and spun her around and pinned her to the wall. To his surprise Khushi was crying. Her nose was red and her cheeks were wet with her tears. And for the first time she didn't protest him holding her so tightly. He studied her face. She looked so pale and defeated. She looked hurt and not angry.
His anger vanished instantly.
"Khushi" Arnav whispered as he cupped her cheeks.
"What happened Khushi? Please talk to me baby. "
"Arnavji" she said.
"Yes baby, i'm listening." he replied really concerned now.
"Why did you marry me if i wasn't your type? why didn't you marry someone like Sheetalji.."she aid sobbing lightly." If you knew i wouldn't be able to atisfy you then why did you..?"
This side of Khushi had already stabbed his hard in the heart and now his Khsuhi in front of him, so broken and hurt saying this to him, he just wanted to die.
"Khushi no.."Arnav whispered.
"There is no else who is my type other than you. You are just perfect for me. I can never love anyone rather than you.There are so many Sheetal's out there but there not a single Khushi. You are just one piece and god has made you for me." he pecked her lips lightly." Just me baby!".
he was talking about GOD !
"Par Arnavji aap toh bhagwan mein vishwas nahi karte hain?" Khushi asked controlling her sobs.
"Dekha Khushi what you have done? You have made Arnav Singh Raizada believe in God. Tumhare liye kuch bhi karne ko dil karta hai. Tumahari har ek baat maan lene ka dil karta hai. Hmaesha tumahari awaaz sunne ka dil karta hai." he whispered as he put is forehead on hers.
She smiled.
"Aur ek baat Khushi"
"Ji"
"Kabhi mere alawa kisi aur ke baare mein sochna bhi mat"
She giggled hearing this from him.
"An i'm really sorry if the Sheetal incident has hurt you. By the way they are leaving today. So all your worries should be over now."
He pecked her lower lips n she blushed.
"And one more thing Khushi. Start packing. Tomorrow we're going on our Honeymoon"
"ji !?" she asked surprised.
"Yup" he said "Its high time I had some private moments with my newly wedded beautiful wife!"
With this he pulled her in for a hug. Both of them lost in each other.
Their own sweet world.
Love,
Kajol
