Chapter 38

Revelation

Arnav felt himself drowning in a sensation he had not felt before...the need to make Khushi his revealed in a way that amazed him. ...Dammit! What are you doing to me Khushi, he thought as he brushed his lips against her taut nipples.

She moaned and dug her nails into his bare back, touching his naked torso hesitatingly and eliciting a groan from him as he felt himself growing painfully harder.

Does she even know I am at the very edge of control, he winced as his gaze wavered and finally settled on the red buds now visible through the wet transparent material of her kameez...

As if on their own voilition her mounds rose to meet his lips and she was suffused with an aching in her core that seemed to grow...She entwined her restless fingers in his wavy wet hair, not willing him to raise his head...What are you doing to me Arnav she thought helplessly...don't stop please...

I must stop now while I can he thought, raising his eyes to her glowing face...her hazel eyes were half closed, her pink lips half open ...begging for his touch... I must let her go before I lose it totally he thought ...In the apartment she had told me in no uncertain terms that she is not ready...

I am ready Arnav, her heart said, it's a revelation to me too...

"Chalo Maiyya ke bhavan bhavan bhavan...chalo maiyya ke..." rang out the shrill ring tone of Khushi's phone...

"What the!" Arnav jerked up his head and growled.

"Let it ring..." Khushi murmured in a trance...

Arnav swallowed hard, "Are you serious...?"

Khushi snapped her eyes open! Hey Devi Maiyya what am I saying...!!!!

"Of course not!!" she retorted and pushing him away stepped out of the bath tub and reached out for her jhola which had fallen on the bathroom floor when she had emptied the Holi colours on his head.

"Heyllo, Heyllo..." she panted into the phone.

"Khushi tum theek ho?" Payal's anxious voice rang out. "Why didn't you call? "Where is Arnav? Will you be able to bring him to Nani's house..."

"Jiji jiji...slow down..." Khushi slapped her head and whispered into the phone "how can I answer so many questions at one go? I am in Arnav's hotel and I will try to bring him. I will call you soon."

She hung up the phone. And took a deep breath. Yes that is why Anjalidi had brought her so that she could ensure that Arnav met his Nani! She should focus on the job at hand...instead of thinking of irrelevant things!!

But those irrelevant things invaded her again as she felt him step up behind her...

"You will catch a cold Khushi," he said softly, wrapping a white fluffy towel round her dripping shoulders.

Khushi gulped as his fingers burnt into her soft shoulders and her heart beat picked up speed again.

She avoided looking at him. "Hmmm..." she answered and gathering the towel around took a step away from him, scared he would hear the loud beatings of her heart.

"Do you have a change of clothes with you?" he inquired.

Khushi shook her head in the negative. She had left her suitcase behind her at Nani's when she had run after him.

"Unbelievable!" he muttered. Then walking towards the bathroom door said, "I will arrange something. In the meanwhile take a shower and get all that colour off yourself..."

Laad Governor! Rakshash! Khushi thought furiously. He is the one who draped me in colour in the first place!

She turned around angrily to tick him off. But gasped at the sight of him.

He must have taken off his trousers while she was on the phone for he had a short towel wrapped low on his waist. Drops of water clung to his strong lean length of legs and broad chest. His lips were twitching in a smile and his brown eyes were boring into her as he played with the handle of the bathroom door. He flicked back his wet jet black hair, and drawled huskily, "Say it Khushi...I know you are thinking I am looking hot and sexy, right?"

"Yes..." Khushi responded truthfully at once! Hey Devi Maiyya what had she said !!

Her eyes opened wide like saucers. "No, no...," she tried to amend herself .

But by this time Arnav was already shaking with mirth, his head thrown back.

"Khushi today you were literally saved by the bell! Otherwise..." he flirted with her, although he knew in his heart he would wait for her till she wanted him like he wanted her...

Khushi threw her towel at him and sprinting towards the door banged it shut on his handsome teasing face.

She leaned against the door and shut her eyes, her hand over her heart, trying to prevent it from thudding out of her ribcage.

If only he knew how close I was to giving in to him she thought.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Khushi, Khushi, are you okay!"

She heard his voice outside the washroom door as she stepped out of the shower.

"Khushi!" he sounded worried.

"Yes, yes coming," Khushi answered grabbing the huge bath towel and slipping into it.

"Take these clothes..." he called out again.

"Clothes! Where did he find her clothes she wondered as she threw open the door.

He stood their raking his fingers through his hair. He had changed into his tracksuit, but dashes of colour stuck to his neck and hair, and his eyes looked tired.

Suddenly Khushi felt sorry for him. He had arrived after a long journey, the meeting with Nani had been painful for him, he was exhausted and needed a shower and a good sleep. But she had only added to his misery!

Her eyes shifted to the hangar he was carrying in his other hand. On it hung a lovely white lace salwar kameez, simple and elegant, and undoubtedly very expensive! Hey Devi Maiyya he had gone shopping for her...!

As if reading her mind he said simply, "I got this from the hotel boutique. Hope you like it!"

"Its beautiful Arnav, " Khushi gushed. "And it will also fit me perfectly! How did you know my size?"

A lopsided smile touched the side of his lips. "I have been sizing you up since eternity...just in case you haven't noticed!" He said rolling his eyes, teasing her.

"You are incorrigible!" Khushi turned red and snatching the hangar from him shut the door on him again while Arnav guffawed outside.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Are you sure mother? They are in Kolkata?" Ajit said pacing up and down his prison cell restlessly.

"Yes. I had set our men on it. They informed me Anajli reached first with two other girls and Arnav joined them some time later.

"And it is Devyani Raizada's house they have gone to?"

Subhadra Mallik fumed. "Yes I am sure! That interfering Devyani...b****! She and that daughter of hers! They have completely ruined the Malliks! There is no saying what lies she will feed to Arnav-Anjali in Kolkata!"

"Why did you allow them to go mother? And why didn't Shyam stop them? What do I pay him for ?" Ajit asked her angrily.

"Gah!" Subhadra spat. "Your Shyam is hopelees! He has simply vanished! I have been telling you for a long time to dump him! And anyway you are to blame for this, Ajit! If you hadn't attacked Arnav, he wouldn't have broken all ties with us...I told you to play it safe, didn't I!"

"Stop blaming me mother! I can't pretend anymore like you can! I hate Arnav's guts! And once I get bail I will be free to get back at Arnav! And then it will be open war between him and me, where only one of us will survive and live to inherit the Mallik fortune!" Ajit roared.

Subhadra Mallik held her head in her hands as fear infiltrated her heart...

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Arnav chuckled as he walked away from the washroom and entered the huge bedroom of his suite. He enjoyed teasing Khushi!

He opened his briefcase which was lying on the bed and took out the divorce papers that he had forced Shyam to sign.

His heart filled with satisfaction at the thought of the pain he had inflicted on Shyam by breaking his bones!

That scum on earth! That coward! It was enough to make him agree to divorce his Di!

He recalled their conversation in Stockholm jail.

"Will you get me released from jail? What will I get in return?" he had squirmed in pain after signing the divorce papers.

"What will I get in return please'!"Arnav had tutored him sarcastically, as if Shyam was an errant school boy. "Did they not teach you to say "Please" in school?" he asked flipping through the divorce papers and checking Shyam's signature.

"Please..." Shyam had whimpered in pain.

Arnav had folded his hands over his chest and said reflectively, "What the! Dear Jijaji! I don't think you said please' with good intent, why don't you try again,hmmm..?"

Shyam was in tears.

"Please, please..." he had tried again, begging , "Please let me go..."

Arnav had cocked his head to one side . "I promise to consider your case Ji-ja-ji... but at present I have to return to India. In the meanwhile you can practise getting the right intonation on please'! Arnav had smirked.

"You can't do this to me..." Shyam had cried, tears rolling down his face

Arnav had pulled Shyam by the scruff of his collar and looked at him menacingly. If eyes could kill Shyam would have ben dead a hundred times over!

Arnav had gritted his teeth, "Dammit Shyam Manohar Jha! Like a parasite you have got it a bit too easy in life after marrying my Di and living in my house...money, power, social status, luxurious lifestyle...everything. You have grown layers of fat! You need to sweat it out! Mr. Setphens here will help you get back in shape! " he had said pointing at the prison guard who was hovering behind him..

"Sure, Sir!" the guard had scratched his head and smiled at Arnav meaningfully

"Take care of my brother in law while I am away Stephens," Arnav had said throwing Shyam against the back of the cell with brute force.

He straightened his tie and walked away leaving a wailing Shyam in the Stockholm jail, the sound of Arnav's Hermes shoes deafening Shyam's cries...

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Khushi emerged from the washroom drying her hair with the soft fluffy towel and saw Arnav standing sideways, near the window, deep in thought , holding on to a few sheets of paper. They looked like some legal papers.

He looked serious. The laughing face she had seen a minute ago was drawn and tense.

"Is something wrong Arnav?" she asked concerned.

"No, nothing..." Arnav replied staring down at the main Chowrighee lane as the cars raced up and down it. Only his Di's life had stopped and fallen in the doldrums. He sighed.

He would tell Khushi about it but only after disclosing the news to Di first.

In fact he was slightly nervous about telling Di as he had taken such a bold step without informing her first. But he was sure now that Aman had told her what a scoundrel Shyam was, she would surely agree to divorce that slithering piece of s***!

That reminded him, he must ask Aman what had prompted him to spill the beans before Di without his permission! Unbelievable!

He took a deep breath and turned around.

He stood still in his tracks and drew his breath in sharply as his eyes travelled over her contours in the white flowing transluscent lace he had brought her...

The unveiled desire in his brown melting eyes fired khushi's senses. Her breathing became shallow as he advanced towards her, his eyes followed her every movement...she moved back till she hit the wall in the room.

Khushi bunched the side of her kameez and bit her lower lip nervously as he stopped inches away from her and placed one hand on the wall near her bent head.

With the other he traced a finger down her silky creamy throat... slowly... pausing at the base of her throat only for a second before proceeding to her heaving cleavage...

Khushi's heart was pounding in her ears when he said huskily, "Dammit you look exquisite in white Khushi..."

Khushi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she abruptly opened her eyes wide and looked up at him mischievously, "All the reason why you should stay away from me Arnav because you will spoil my new dress with all the holi colours sticking to you!"

Arnav was taken aback as she pushed him and sprinted across the room laughing...

"What the!" Arnav growled angrily

He chased her as she climbed the bed and jumped on it like the nineteen year old she was.

Arnav lunged at her and the two crashed together on the bed! There was a loud bang and thud as the bed dipped to the ground! It had broken!

There was pindrop silence in the room for a second before Arnav and Khushi burst out laughing together...

Arnav threw back his head as he had never laughed in years and Khushi's heart filled to see she could make him happy again.

She held his hand and and then touched his face gingerly, her eyes filling with tears...

He stopped laughing and raised her palm to his lips and kissed it gently...

"You know Arnav I just remembered Ratna aunty used to say I look the prettiest in white..."

"Really?" Arnav's voice choked.

"Yes," Khushi nodded her head vigorously, "And you know that was also the first thought that stuck me when I saw Nani in white today..."

Khushi noticed that he stiffened at the mention of Nani but she carried on, "So I really felt sad to see her crying today...I wonder if she is still shedding tears while we are laughing here..."

Arnav got up from the bed abruptly and said roughly, "I don't care..."

"But that is not true Arnav..." Khushi rose from the bed

"Do you think your Maa would have liked you to meet Nani...?" she asked putting her on his shoulders

"I don't know..." he shrugged his shoulders.

"Yes you do Arnav," Khushi faced him. "You know how much Ratna aunty loved her mother..."

Arnav's temper soared, "And what did Nani do? She literally disowned her daughter's children when they needed her most..."

"I agree Arnav. But there was a reason behind her action and that is why she wanted to meet you, to tell you the reason! And I am sure the truth is connected to Dadi and Ajit chacha..." she said thoughtfully.

Arnav turned to her sharply. "What makes you think so?"

"Why else did Dadi send goons to ransack Aakshji's hotel room? She was definitely trying to frighten him to leave Delhi, without meeting you and Di!"

Arnav knew she was right. He had deduced that himself but he was too stubborn to admit it. Then again, Shyam had also tried to foil the meeting between Di and Aakash in the garden, only Aakash had been smarter and had sent someone else instead...

Arnav brooded.

Khushi sensed the change in his mood and said, "Arnav, why don't you look at it this way. If you learn Nani's side of the story you might chance upon some important information to strengthen your case against Dadi and Ajit chacha! Think of that!"

"Morever," she continued with a teasing smile, " the bed in your room is broken so you have to shift to Nani's place if you have to sleep!"

Arnav did not answer, instead he turned towards the washroom muttering, "High time I took a shower..."

"Arnav!" Khushi looked at him with disbelief! "Don't just walk away! I am talking to you!"

But her plea fell on deaf ears. Her eyes welled with tears. " You are so frustrating Arnav! I have been ranting on and on and you haven't heard a word...You will come with me to Nani's, won't you?! "

Arnav turned his head. The tears in her beautiful hazel eyes were killing... He felt himself melting in them...How hard she was trying to bring his family together. Maa would have loved her.

Maybe he had been too harsh on Nani...since he had come so far he might as well meet her, Arnav made up his mind.

He raked his fingers through his thick hair and said with a serious dark face, "Okay Khushi I will go with you to Nani's house!"

Khushi could not believe her ears! "Really?" she quickly wiped her eyes and clapped her hands in glee.

"Yes," Arnav said with a straight face, "But only because I just have to, have to get out of this room!"

"Why?" Khushi asked him curiously. She looked around the suite. Except for the broken bed it was beautiful! "Why do you want to leave this room?"

Arnav sighed deeply.

"There is no other way I can keep my hands off you and not make mad love to you right here!" he said his eyes twinkling with mirth.

Before Khushi could realize what he had said, he entered the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

Khushi stood gawking at the door, her eyes wide like saucers, her mouth a big O'! What did he mean! He must have been joking! Hey Devi maiyya!

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Chhotey!" Anjali rose from her chair, tears rolling down her face, as Arnav walked into the living room where the entire family was seated. She saw Khushi following behind him and her thanked Khushi silently with grateful eyes. Payal was right, only Khushi could bring Chhotey back!

"Hello hi, bye bye!" Manorama Mami made a face.

"Manorama! Please!" Mamaji hushed his wife.

"Bhai, Khushiji, please come sit!" Aakash sprang forward to welcome Arnav Khushi.

Payal beckoned to Khushi who went and sat besides her. Payal squeezed her sister's hand. "Well done Khushi. I am so proud of you," she whispered into Khushi's ears and squeezed her hand.

But Khushi darted anxious eyes at Arnav. In fact all eyes were trained on him as he walked purposely towards where Nani was seated.

The old lady looked at him, her eyes brimming with love, but there was also a hint of apprehension.

"Aap theek ho Nani? (Are you okay Nani?)" he asked her, his tone impassive. "I...I did not mean to..." his voice trailed off.

Anjali and Khushi looked at each other! Both knew that for Arnav that was as good as saying sorry! He would never actually say it...

Perhaps Nani understood too for she nodded her head and smiled at him lovingly, holding back the tears that threatened to gush out...

"I hope you don't think I have tricked you into meeting me bitwa," she said in a sad voice. "So without much ado let me get straight to the point..."

Anjali interrupted her. "Its okay Nani, now that Chhotey is here we can talk later..."

"No bitiya!" Nani held up her hand, "Let me..."

The truth was painful for her to reveal but she had to...

She took a deep breath and said in a strangled voice choking with emotion " I just hope all of you are ready for what I have to say."

Then looking straight into Arnav's eyes Nani said in a steady voice, " Bitwa, my daughter Ratna and your Maa... did not commit suicide...

...She was killed...!"

Someone gasped. Then there was a thunderous silence in the room...
