Part 20
After spending some wonderful sweet passionate moments with Khushi,Arnav told her to get ready.He was taking her somewhere.In a hour both of them were ready.
Arnav was driving his car and had Khushi sitting beside him asking him where they were going every few minutes.Arnav didn't tell her.He only told her to wait.He stopped the vehicle in front of a mansion.It wasn't as big as Arnav's but still looked nice
"Stay here" Arnav muttered.Khushi looked at him confused but nodded.Arnav got out of the car and went up to the doorstep.He took some papers with him.He rang the doorbell.In a few minutes a servant opened the door "I need to see Shashi Gupta" Arnav announced.The servant nodded.He gestured Arnav to wait for a minute and went inside.A few minutes later he came back and gestured Arnav to come in.The servant lead Arnav to the living room where Shashi was already seated "Hello Mr.Gupta" Arnav greeted.He sat down across from Shashi "I am here to talk business"
Shashi had decided that Arnav and Khushi were not from 20 years ago as they looked so young.Even though it made him doubt sometimes he let it go.Shashi nodded "So you thought over my deal"
Arnav nodded "Yes in fact I even got the papers ready
Shashi looked at him surprised "Oh um okay"
Arnav gave the papers to him "I need your signatures only on the last page" Shashi picked up the papers and began reading.It was three pages long both sides.Shashi had begun reading the second page when he heard a loud yawn.He looked at Arnav "Mr.Gupta,you take too long.Please hurry up"
Shashi looked at him a bit annoyed by his attitude.He was sure this Arnav and that Khushi had nothing to with him 25 years ago.He continued reading and was about to read the third page when his phone began ringing.He picked it up "Hello"
"Mr.Gupta your building,Gupta Designs,is on fire"
"What" Shashi nearly yelled "But how"
"We don't know" the person cut the phone.
"I have to go" Shashi announced standing up.
"Not before signing the papers" Arnav said calmly leaning back on to his seat.
"You don't understand.My building is on fire"
"You can go after signing the papers or go now without signing them and permanently closing any deal that could ever happen between us"
Shashi looked at the young man sitting in front of him angrily.He pursed his lips.Grabbing the pen,he scribbled his signatures on them "There" he said.
Shashi stood up and walked quickly to the door but the servant who was standing near it closed it.Shashi looked at him confused and was about to yell at him when he heard Arnav's voice "What proof do you have your building is on fire other than a fake phone call?"
Shashi turned around "What are you talking about?"
Arnav smirked "Your building was never on fire.It was a fake phone all just to make you sign the papers.You,Shashi Gupta,have officially handed over your business,mansions,buildings,everything to me"
Shashi widened his eyes "What nonsense?"
Arnav nodded.He gave Shashi a duplicate copy of what he had signed "Read the last paragraph"
Shashi read it and gasped.It was true.He had signed over his everything to Arnav "How dare you?" Shashi demanded as he ripped the copy of the original papers.
Arnav shoved the original papers in his pocket and took a step towards Shashi "You stole something precious of mine and I stole yours" he said in a dangerous tone.
"What? What do you mean? I never stole anything of yours!"
"You you did.You stole my Khushi"
Shashi froze "K-Khushi?"
"I loved her" Arnav's voice softened "She was my everything.My wife.My love.My life...And you killed her the next day you found out she never married Shyam"
"So my doubts were correct!" Shashi shouted "You two are the same-"
"Yes! I am Arnav Singh Raizada who in the past was a middle class man,who was struggling to put up his business.The same man who fell in love with your daughter and even married her!"
"But how did you survive?! I killed you both with my-"
"Gun" Arnav interrupted once again.He took a step back and opened the small closet and pulled out the gun.The same gun which had killed both Khushi and Arnav.Arnav weighed it casually with his hand "Seems loaded" he said looked at Shashi's pale white scared face "Death is a huge thing to be scared from and I am guessing your condition is no different but mine was.I allowed myself to be killed with no fear in my heart knowing I would be with my Khushi.You on the other hand are scared to be killed because you know you deserve it"
"You-You have no idea what my men will d-do to you if they figure out you k-killed me"
Arnav smirked and raised the gun "Well I don't think they'll mind because now they belong to me"
"Arnav" Khushi's angelic voice rang out.
Arnav turned around and gasped seeing Khushi "Khushi what are you doing here?"
"Arnav you were taking so long so I decided to come" she answered.
"You!" Shashi accused pointing at her "This is all happening because of you!"
"DON'T YOU DARE!" Arnav roared "Don't you dare point your finger at her or else I'll have to snap it off!"
Khushi gasped at Arnav's tone "Arnav" she said "This isn't the way to speak to elders"
Arnav stared at her and took her hand in his gently caressing it "Khushi you have no idea how big of a criminal he is to this world.I just want to avenge those people who suffered"
Khushi looked at him confused.Arnav walked behind Khushi and wrapped an arm around her waist.He held her hand in the other and put the gun in her hand "What is this?" Khushi asked curiously and innocently.
"Something that'll give you satisfaction" Arnav answered.
He made Khushi hold the gun properly and aimed it at Shashi.Without any warning,Arnav pressed Khushi's finger on the trigger.The bullet shot out and aimed Shashi perfectly in the heart.Khushi gasped when she saw blood coming out.She let go of the gun and stepped back only to bump into Arnav "What have I done?" she whispered when she witnessed Shashi closing his eyes and dying on the cold floor.
Arnav turned Khushi around to face him.He cupped her face in his hands "Khushi do you feel satisfied?"
"I-I don't know"
"Do you feel good inside?"
"I-I don't know"
"Khushi forget you killed a man.Just imagine it's a normal day between me and you" Khushi closed her eyes and began to imagine "Now Khushi do you feel good?"
"Yes" she whispered.
"Do you feel satisfied?"
"Yes"
Arnav smiled.He leaned down and kissed her "I love you" he murmured against her lips.
***********************************************
Arnav lead Khushi to a field.It was empty.There was only dirt and more dirt.Arnav sighed as he found his destination.He fell on his knees and began to dig with his bare hands "Arnav what are you doing?" Khushi asked confused more than ever.
Arnav gave a sad smile "I am finding someone"
He continued digging deeper and deeper until his hand touched something solid.His heart began beating wildly.Arnav spread the dirt away.A tear slipped by as he found what he had been looking for.Two skeletons.Her and him.From 25 years ago.Arnav caressed Khushi's hand of bones.Before they had died,Arnav had given Khushi a ring.That same ring lay on her skeletal hand.Surprisingly her hand was entwined with his 'How did that happen?' he wondered.But he didn't mind.He sighed "Arnav what's that?" he heard Khushi's voice.
Arnav smiled and turned around.He gently pulled Khushi towards the ground letting her see his discovery.Khushi stared at the skeletons in front of her not saying a single word.A minute passed by.Two minutes.Three minutes.Arnav frowned and looked at Khushi and was shocked when he saw her crying "Khushi" Arnav said "What's wrong Khushi"
Khushi threw herself in Arnav's arms and sobbed "Oh Arnav.How could I have been such a fool? You were right in front of me and I couldn't recognize you! Oh Arnav I love you so much"
Arnav closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Khushi knowing she now knew everything.She remembered it all.Arnav smiled and tightened his hold "I'll love you forever" he promised.Arnav broke the hug and took the ring from the skeleton.He slid it on her finger.
They looked at each other and kissed whispering "We are meant to be together forever"
