Part 13
Arnav always had found it kind of suspicious when Khushi suddenly just demanded divorce and disappeared but he was too heartbroken to ponder over it.He also had Aarav's responsibility which took his mind off of her.When Shyam had made him actually think about what had happened and the possibilities to the reason,he began seeing sense.
Arnav skimmed through Khushi's text messages on her phone.All of them were from Unknown much to his annoyance.They were full of threats and commands telling Khushi what to do,infuriating him even more.
It was night.Time for everyone to go bed.Arnav was about to go to his room when he saw Khushi walk into Aarav's.Curiosity filled him and he followed her.
Aarav was already fast asleep to wake up early the next morning for school.Khushi was crawled on the floor searching for something "Where is it? Where is it?" she kept mumbling the same thing over and over.
Arnav bent low on his heels to her height next to her "What are you looking for?" he whispered.
Khushi jumped,startled "What are you doing here?" she whispered furiously.
"It's my son's room.I can come and go as I please" he replied.
Khushi frowned and looked away "I am searching for my phone" she finally answered.
"Your phone?"
Khushi nodded "I think I left it here.It's not in my room"
"Why do you need your phone so badly?"
Khushi paled "I-I...Wouldn't you search for your phone if it went missing?"
Arnav shrugged "I would buy another one"
"What if it had some private things on it?"
"I don't have anything to hide so nothing to worry about.What's in your phone you are hiding?"
"N-Nothing.Nothing at all.I just don't have enough money like you to buy another phone"
Arnav narrowed his eyes at her not believing her one bit "Sure" he drawled "I think you should go back to your room.You have been searching here for a while and it's not in here.Maybe you left it somewhere else"
Khushi bit her lip "B-But I need my phone"
"I'll buy you a new one"
Khushi narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously "Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"
Arnav shrugged "Maybe because I want to"
"Well you shouldn't.I don't like it" she snapped.
Arnav leaned towards her "Really? Do you really not like it?"
Khushi gulped.Why was he behaving like this? She mustered up whatever piece of courage she had left "Y-Yes" She didn't sound so convincing but at least she tried.
Arnav smiled and gently pushed her.Her knees lost balance making her fall on the ground on her back.She groaned.Arnav chuckled "Hush now" he whispered as he got on top of her "You wouldn't want to wake up Aarav now would you"
Khushi widened her eyes.She raised her arms to his shoulders but couldn't exactly push him away "A-Arnav what..what are you doing?" she furiously whispered.
Arnav chuckled lowly "You don't exactly seem to mind.From my point of view you are as eager as I am"
Khushi blushed furiously "Arnav Singh Raizada! You get off me right now!"
"Fine" came his blunt reply.
She couldn't help but feel disappointed that he obeyed her.Arnav was about to get up but stopped.He smirked at her,bent down and brushed his lips against her.Khushi closed her eyes.Exhilaration and excitement ran through Khushi's body as he did so.His small gesture making her feel warm and tingly on the insides.She let go of her breath "A-Arnav" she whispered against his lips.
Arnav smiled at her,a devilish twinkle in his eyes.He stood up and looked down at her,towering over at her "Good night Khushi" he grinned at her,turned,and left.Khushi sat up on the floor looking in the direction he had left.Did that really happen? She placed her hand over her racing heart.Why was he doing this? Shouldn't he be angry at her? Disgusted by her? He shouldn't even be looking at her.
Khushi shook her head trying to clear her head.She stood up and looked at Aarav who was peacefully sleeping in his bed completely unaware what had just happened between his parents in his bedroom on the floor.Though he had only brushed his lips against hers,it had felt far too intimate for her.
Khushi closed her eyes.No.She had to keep her distance.With her head put up high,she left the room.
********************************************************
The next day,Khushi slept through the morning.She woke up at 12:15 and realized she missed Aarav before he went to school.Her stomach growled.Khushi patted her hand on her stomach.She got up and went to the kitchen.
On her way there,she realized none of the family members were to be seen.She took out a plate and looked into the fridge "I already made breakfast for you" Khushi startled,closed the fridge door and turned around.She gasped seeing Arnav barely a foot away from her.She leaned against the fridge door in an attempt to keep distance.
"W-What" she stammered.
Arnav smiled at her "I made you some breakfast.An omelette to be precise"
Arnav gestured to the plate in the corner of the counter.Khushi looked at him confused "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you make breakfast for me?"
Arnav shrugged "I had a feeling you would wake up late considering how you were unable to sleep last night" he smirked at her.
Khushi stared at him shocked "How-I mean why would you assume that?"
Arnav leaned towards her "I am not assuming anything Khushi.I know because I heard you shuffling continuously in your room"
Khushi narrowed her eyes at him and pursed her lips "How do you know that?" she demanded "Were you spying on me?"
"It's needed Khushi.Afterall you can be quite a handful" he chuckled.
She ignored him and looked around "Where is everybody?"
"The family have gone to a wedding.They won't be coming until the day after tomorrow which leaves us alone"
He was so close Khushi could feel his breath on her face.She bit her bottom lip "W-We aren't exactly alone.There is still Aarav" she said.
"Who is often at school"
"There is Monica"
Arnav frowned "She is often at AR busy modeling and building up her career"
"The servants"
"They have their own work to do" Khushi pressed her teeth harder on her lip.Arnav chuckled "Don't do that" he took her bottom lip between his teeth and gently pulled it away from her teeth making her gasp and widen her eyes "You'll draw out blood" he stated "Other than that you look irresistible like that.Why don't you save that for later"
Khushi pushed him away and ran out of the kitchen,hunger long forgotten.Why was he behaving like this? Khushi closed the door of her room,not bothering to lock it.She sat on the bed hugging a pillow 'This shouldn't be happening' she thought to herself 'Arnav should be far far away from me.What if she found out about Arnav's behaviour towards me?' Khushi shook her head 'I have to make sure Arnav stays away from me or else she'll hurt Arnav and Aarav'.
A knock on the door broke her thoughts.The door was open with Arnav leaning against it with a plate in his hand "I brought you your breakfast" he sat down next to Khushi on the bed.Khushi glared at him throwing the pillow to a side.Arnav took a piece of the omelette on the fork and put it up against her lips.Khushi reluctantly opened her mouth.Arnav smiled "Good girl" he chuckled when Khushi sent another glare at his way.
"I can eat by myself" she said firmly.Khushi tried to take the plate from him but he kept it away from her.
"I will feed you.It will my pleasure" he said with a naughty twinkle in his eyes.
