Khushi got up with the sharp pain in her head, as someone was nailing her head with the hammer.
"Aaah...my head!" she cried, as she floundered in pain.
"Get up and drink this lemon juice!" he said.
She opened her eyes and looked at Arnav. "Where am I?" she asked.
"Open your eyes properly and see yourself. You are not yet in a mental asylum!"
"Arnav, shut up my head is hurting!"
"Who the hell told you to drink?"
"Why didn't you stop me when I was drinking?" she asked.
"Is there anybody in this world born who can stop you from doing something that you want to do? You nearly forced yourself on me!" he said, as he knew this was perfect time to tease her.
She all of sudden sat up in fear. "Arnav, what did I do?"
"Ask me what you didn't do? You were so drunk and I only know the way you were behaving."
Khushi's heart beat was so wild that she forgot her headache for a while.
"Khushi, it is okay. We are husband wife, we can do all this right. It's okay!"
"Arnav, please tell me you are kidding!" she said. She got up the bed. He was quite and trying hard to suppress his laugh. She was trying hard to not to break down.
"Oh, how stupid I was to drink? Arnav I was drunk, at least you would have stopped me. Even you proved that you are like every other men. How could I forget that you are such a womaniser. Arnav, you shouldn't have brought your hatred in all this!"
"How could I have stopped myself? You tell me? When you were kissing me and saying that you love me so much!"
"Arnav, not even in my dream I will say that to you. And my top? I was wearing white top!"
"See!" he said.
She hit his chest. "Arnav, please tell me you are kidding. Please, Arnav."
"Relax, I am kidding!" he finally said. Seeing her crying.
"You are not saying this to make me feel good!"
"No! Khushi, I know we hate each other so much that we can kill each other, but love, yes, not even in a dream. But honestly you could trust me on that. I won't touch you against your wish. I hate you, but not this much that I would take advantage of you! And even if you would be the last girl I would like to kill you first then myself."
She finally felt relief. But she knew she was ready to attack him, she held his shirt. "You moron, I am going to kill you for joking with me! But how come my clothes got changed."
"Di, did, chuhiya. Leave me!"
"Oh no! Then you have told her that I was drunk? Why did you, Arnav? How would I face them?" she moaned and held her head in pain.
"Right now my head is hurting otherwise, swear on god I would have broken something of yours!" she said.
"Shut up, stop blaming me, just by looking at you Anjali di guessed you were drunk. And by now everyone knows that you were drunk. It is okay, forget about it and have this lemon juice!"
More than her hangover Khushi was worried about how would she face her in-laws.
"Everyone will be home, right? How would I face everyone, Arnav?"
"Look at the clock, Mrs. Khushi, it's 2:30 in the afternoon! Everyone have gone to their work! But, yes, you should find some good excuses why were you drunk."
"Arnav, I need a coffee. I think will die with this headache!"
"Perfect, I should let you die. I think I would never get a better chance to free myself from you!
"Arnav!"
"What Arnav? Drink that Lemon juice and if you will drink coffee on an empty stomach you will surely die, fatso!"
She gulped lemon juice down her throat. "Arnav, what shall I do please save me? Mumma, papa must be very mad at me!"
"That's so. Anjali di, said the moment you came in front of her eyes she will scold you. And you haven't seen her scolding. It is worst. She said she will even call a family meeting in which she will tell everyone that it was the height. Ever before now none in this family, any daughter, daughter in law came home drunk, or even touched alcohol. And you drunk the whole bottle. Khushi, I am sorry I cannot save you now. But it is good right, they will finally see you as a bad daughter-in-law, unsuitable for this family and it will tata bye bye of you."
Khushi was going to have a nervous wreck for sure that was how much she was scared. Arnav was enjoying it to his heart content.
'Mrs. Raizada, this is what a real jerk is like!' he amused.
"I hope your headache is okay now!" he said. She looked at him.
"Weather outside is really bad. It seems it's going to rain!" he said as he looked outside the window. "I don't know why I feel there will be a storm coming by tonight!"
Khushi grew even more scared. She knew he was referring to what her condition was going to happen even though weather indeed was really bad. Her heart never settled, but only thudded louder and louder.
"I should leave now!"
"Arnav, where are you going?"
"I am going outside!"
"Arnav, why don't you stay at home. Weather is really bad outside, right?" she said nervously. Arnav laughed to himself and then turned around to look at her with a serious face.
"Khushi, you think of me so much, but I am sorry I won't be able to help you!"
"Arnav, please stay at home. That would be enough for me!" she said.
HP was passing by their room she stopped him and asked him to get strong coffee.
"Are you mad? You will fall sick!"
'If I didn't have a coffee, I will die for sure!'
'Oh, it feels so good to have your prey all set to be attacked!'
But joke was apart he didn't want her to get sick. When HP came he told him to get something for her to eat first.
"Khushi, can you hear something?"
"What, Arnav?"
"Footsteps! Dhak dhak dhak!" he said.
"That's heartbeat!"
"Whose?"
"Can you hear my heartbeat?" she asked.
"You must be really hungry, right? May be that is why your heartbeat is loud!"
Khushi kept her hand on her chest and tried to breathe in an out to calm herself. But it wasn't working. Only negative thoughts came into her mind. And she could imagine anger of her in laws.
"Arnav, please save me this time I promise I will not ever say anything bad to you!"
"Khushi, I don't promise, but if you are begging me I will see!"
"Please, Arnav, somehow convince them!"
He nodded as he was really sorry for her, but Khushi knew he must be so wanted to dance in happiness seeing her in this terrible condition. But she didn't want to say anything to him when she knew she needed a favour from him. Every dog has a day. It was just not hers today. She had to make a donkey her father when she was in a desperate need.
"They really left in anger. I mean dad, and Anjali di. Mom was feeling so ashamed."
She looked at him even more scared.
"Here, HP has come with food. Thank you, HP, your mam needs lot to eat! This little won't work!"
"What would she like to have, sir?"
"Something nutritious. Like chicken, fish!"
"Arnav, I don't eat non-veg!"
"Uh-oh!"
"Get every green vegetable for her, it shall work. Beans salad, spaghetti, anything!"
"Yes, sir!"
"One more cup of coffee, HP!"
"Khushi, that's your second cup already. Stop drinking coffee!"
She didn't listen him.
"Don't blame me if you fall sick!"
"Could you please shut up?" She shouted. "I am already so tensed here and you are not keeping your mouth shut. I know you are enjoying all this."
"Keep your volume down, alright? You shouldn't be doing things that you will put you in problems. Why are you expecting me to help you? I would say make more such mistakes and get out of my life. It has been only a week we are married and you have made my life hell already. I can't do the things that I always did!"
"Even I have sacrificed enough, Arnav. Nobody listened me. Our parents only thought of themselves. They..." She just sat down before she could loose her temper. "Even I don't want to live with you!" she shouted despite of trying to stop herself from saying anything. "I wish I would have rather actually taken your suggestion and killed myself instead of marrying you. Jerk!"
"Get out of here before I seriously do any harm. Do not show me your face!"
"And you do not show me your face!" she said, and left the room.
"Chuhiya, I better had told mom dad myself that you were drunk!" he regretted.
