Chapter 44
NK arrives!
Khushi brushed her teeth for the fourth time in the morning and
and thought for the umpteenth number of time, her heart pounding, soon, very soon Arnav will marry someone! Hey Devi Maiyya! She bit off the bristles of the toothbrush and winced! And then he will have a baby to take possession of all the Mallik property!
The thought had not left her for a single moment all night as she tossed and turned on the bed till Payal warned her of dire consequences if she moved even a millimeter!
"Khushi, Khushi...tum theek ho? Why are you taking so long?!" Payal banged on the washroom door
As if in a trance Khushi opened the door wiping her face with the end of her dupatta and crashed into Payal who fell down on the ground unceremoniously! The loud thud made Khushi came out of her reverie and her mouth opened into a big O'!
"Jiji! What are you doing on the floor?!" she asked
Payal glared at her. "Khushi! First you knock me down on the floor and then you ask me why I am sitting here on he floor!"
Khushi stared at her sister in amazement. Then quickly offered her hand and pulled her off the floor.
"Humne apko kab giraya, Jiji?(When did I knock you down, jiji?)" she pouted.
Khushi! Payal slapped her sister's shoulder, "Buaji rightly calls you Sankadevi!"
"Now come along," she said tugging Khushi's hand and leading her towards the garden, "Nani and Di want to talk about something important !"
"What Jiji?" Khushi asked hoarsely, her heart beating in anticipated terror.
"I think they want you to convince Arnav to marry!"
Khushi's heart sunk into the pits as Payal continued,
"You know him well since childhood, and you can ask him to reconsider his decision not to tie the knot! I told them this is no big deal for you..." Payal beamed proudly at her sister.
"You are absolutely wrong, Jiji!" Khushi said with a dejected look on her face and suddenly turning her back to Payal disappeared at lightening speed!
Payal was too stunned to react at first. Then said aloud, " Khushi's sanak is going from bad to worse! Wonder what is wrong with her!"
Someone laughed throatily behind her.
"Good morning Payalji!" Aakash walked slowly towards, taking in her bemused look and noting mentally how lovely she looked with her scrubbed face and her wet hair hanging down her shoulders.
"Sorry, I was going to the garden to have my morning cup of tea when I happened to hear the conversation between you and Khushiji!"
"What are you wondering about Khushiji? The explanation is very simple!" he smiled sheepishly lifting his soectacles on his nose.
Payal looked confusedly at Aakash, "I...I don't understand..."
"You are so nave Payalji, try to understand! You should know more than any other person, why Khushiji does not want bhai to marry someone else!."
Payal squinted her eyes and suddenly her eyes widened in realization...How foolish of her...of course...all the signs were there...Khushi saw Arnav more than a friend...was she in love with him! Hey Devi maiyya...But what about Arnav...what did he think about Khushi...she did not want her sister to get hurt...one thought after another flashed through Payal's perplexed mind.
As if in answer to her thoughts Aakash said, " Anjalidi and Nani are sure Arnav feels for her but refuses to express it openly, so they are going to talk to Arnav about it!"
"Oh my! When?" Payal asked in a dazed voice.
"Just about now.." Aakash chuckled checking his watch.
Payal's hand flew to her mouth, "What! Are you serious?"
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
But Arnav stopped him impatiently and barked, "And whom did he contact after escaping, that is most important Aman! Did you get that!"
Aman was peeved but said, "Yes ASR! I did. He made two calls only. One to your Dadi. And another one to a number enlisted in the name of a Naira Usman, also in India!"
"Naira Usman..." Arnav rolled the name on his tongue and tried to recollect if he had heard it before! No...he did not think he knew anyone of that name, but yet something stirred in his sub conscious...but he could not put a finger on it...
He went on to the next enquiry. "And where does this woman reside?"
Aman checked the notepad in his hand and answered, " Dar..jee..ling!"
"What the! Darjeeling! Unbelievable! It is only a few hours from Kolkata! I can easily meet this woman!" Arnav was excited.
" Why is she so important to Shyam, that he calls her immediately after escaping from prison?! " he muttered.
"If I follow this lead, I am sure I will be able to find out something that will lead me to maa's murder...!" Arnav's molten orbs blazed with revenge!
"Yes ASR! You are right!" Aman nodded vigorously
"How did you forget Aman! I am always right!" came the pat reply.
Aman sighed and smiled! ASR will be ASR!

"Stop, stop! I think this is it...the bungalow to the right," NK patted the taxi driver's shoulder, indicating him to stop in front of Nani's bungalow.
He checked the address which Buaji had given him and smiled like a child who had got his favourite pizza delivered at his doorstep!
He paid the driver handsomely and jumped out of the car with his backpack.
He pushed open the gate of the bungalow humming happily," Long time...no see Khushi...here I come...hope you like this surprise!"
Suddenly someone clamped his mouth from the back and twisted his arm behind his back. A black mask fell upon his face and he couldnt breathe.
Two rough pair of hands lifted him and carried him behind the bushes. He was too astounded to struggle and before he could start wriggling in protest, the mask was lifted off his face and a burly finger was thrust into his face.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
NK looked in terror at the bull dog face of a man wearing a security uniform and shook like a leaf.
"Nand Kishore, Nand Kishore!" he chanted in fear.
The man growled, "I know the name of all Gods, what is your name?"
"That is what I was trying to say...Nand Kishore, I mean NK!" he whispered in a shaky voice.
"And what are you doing here, what do you want?" the security guard said menacingly.
" I have come to meet K..Kh...Khushi... Khushi Kumari Gupta!"
He scowled at NK and punched a number on his phone.
Aakash answered the phone, "What happened? Any problem?"
"Sir, there is a guy here by the name of Nand Kishore, NK...do you know him? He says he has come to visit Miss Khushi! But you know as per our orders we cannot let him in without ASR's permission!"
"Khushiji's friend? Okay. Let me check!" Aakash said, turning towards Payal.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Chhotey..." Nani called out softly to the tall lean figure standing near the window with a far away look on his face.
Arnav turned quickly to see Di and Nani standing at the threshold of the room. He approached them with a wary look in his eyes.
Nani smiled, "Did you sleep well, bitwa? I am so happy you did not go to the hotel but accepted my offer to stay back at the house."
"Hmm..." Arnav shrugged his shoulders.
"But I have to leave now Nani," he said picking up his watch and wallet from the bedside.
No, no Chhotey , you must have your breakfast with us!" Nani blocked his way.
Anjali quickly put her arm through her brother's and smiled at him indulgently
"Hope your temper has cooled down Chhotey..." she asked. " God knows why you got so fired yesterday...we were only suggesting that you marry..."
But before he could finish the sentence, Arnav rolled his eyes and interrupted her. "Di, don't start off again!"
Anjali pouted, "Arrey Chhotey what is wrong with the idea! When the solution can be so beautiful like a marriage then why resort to arm twisting, bloodshed and all such gory means to get back at Dadi and chacha?"
"Please Di, I have told you no harm will come to the family...now let me go, I have some very important work at hand..."
Nani spoke up in despair, "All that can wait Chhotey...first you have to tell us why you can't marry?"
"Really Nani, you want me to take this drastic measure so that I can confiscate the Mallik property and teach them a lesson?" Arnav remarked angrily, "Is that a good enough reason to get married and spoil a girl's life?"
Nani smiled, "You are right Chhotey. That is not a good enough reason to get married. So what if we get you a bride with whom you can have a good life?"
"A good married life! What crap!" Arnav snorted.
"What if it's a girl for whom you have feelings?" Anjali's eyes twinkled.
"I have feelings for a girl!?? Really Di! Are you out of your mind!" Arnav raised his eyebrows and smirked.
Aakash knocked on the door and entered the room with a vague look on his face, and staring at all the three faces one by one asked curiously, "Am I interrupting something important?"
"No Aakash , not at all..."Arnav said shrugging into his jacket suit, "I was just leaving..."
"Oh!" Aakash said adjusting his spectacles over his nose . "Can you tell me then, if you know a NK...the security are holding him right now...he claims to be a friend of Khushiji!"
"NK!" Arnav looked at his cousin in amazement, his mouth open.
And the next moment his temper soared! " Khushi's friend! Here! What the!"
Anjali, Nani and Aakash looked at each other and smiled secretly, sharing knowing looks.
Anjali winked at Aakash and hobbling towards him said with great exuberance, "NK! Of course, I know him! He is a very dear and very close friend of Khushi!"
Then turning to Arnav she asked innocently, "Isn't he Chhotey!"
"I have no idea!" Arnav's nostrils flared though he tried to sound nonchalant.
There were sounds of running footsteps outside the room.
Anjali bobbed her head in the direction and saw Khushi dashing down the steps..
"Arrey Khushi , where are you flying to? Something important?!" she asked
"Yes Anjali di , Jiji just informed me that NK is downstairs! Imagine he has come all the way from Delhi to visit me! Shall I invite him inside the house?" she asked smiling at Nani sheepishly.
"Yes ofcourse, bitiya, he seems to be a good friend of yours! He is most welcome! And tell him he must stay in our house!"
Oh, how sweet Nani, " Khushi jumped and placed a resounding kiss on nani's cheek, before continuing down the stairs.
Nani took Anjali aside and whispered loudly ensuring Arnav heard her, "Anjali bitiya Khushi seems to have a special place for this NK in her heart...it's a good thing we did not ask Chhotey about..."
"Yes Nani...I don't think Khushi would have agreed to marry Chhotey! It was a wrong perception on our part to think Arnav and Khushi had feelings for each others!" Anjali whispered back with a straight voice, though she felt like giggling at the growing darkness of her brother's face as he clenched and unclenched his fist to control his increasing rage and jealousy!
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Arnav gritted his teeth to see Khushi holding NK's hand and speaking to him animatedly, her face upturned her eyes sparkling.
He almost ran into the huge mango tree in the garden and cursed, "What the!"
The expletive must have reached Khushi for she looked towards him with loathing and taking a few steps forwarded demanded with her hands on her waist, "What is going on Arnav? Why was NK detained and threatened by your security guards?"
She was furious. But all Arnav could notice was how the morning sun was shining on her making her white complexion glow with a hint of peach and red roses.
He walked towards her without commenting, his eyes on her perfect face and watching him sauntering towards her with a strange look in his brown pools, Khushi retreated in reflex.
"Kya...kya hai?" she stammered, "You can't insult me and my friends whenever you feel like..." she blurted.
"I can do whatever I want to," he said, the look in his eyes intensifying.
Khushi felt his gaze hovering over her pink lips and she felt breathless and flustered. A sudden desire to lay her head on his broad strong shoulders, to tell him she could not bare to see him with another woman, leave alone marry her, invaded her and she gulped at the betrayl of her senses.
He quirked his eyebrows at the hand she was still holding and Khushi released NK's hand abruptly.
Why do I always allow him to win she chided herself and picking up courage said angrily, "No you can't Arnav...!"
NK looked from Arnav to Khushi distressfully.
"Hey cool down guys...Khushi, I understand, the security guard was only doing his duty, Nannav is not to blame!"
"Anyway, what are you doing here?" Arnav turned to NK rudely, ignoring the angry look Khushi gave him.
"There is a Gliding Competition in the mountains of Darjeeling day after tomorrow. I thought Khushi meri hathi banker chal sakti hai! (Khushi can go with me as my elephant!)"
Khushi's mood lightened immediately. She burst out laughing and corrected him, "Hathi nahi NK, saathi! (Not as elephant NK, but as your friend...!)"
"Yes I remember you had mentioned this competition to me...And of course I would love to go with you...it will be such fun!" Khushi clapped her hands excitedly
