New Arshi ts: I love your heart last part updated 29/7/16 - Page 8

DESCLAIMER: VERY LONG UPDATE!!! TAKES TIME!! TOTALLY 15 PAGES IN MS WORD.

It was noon. In AR,

Arnav was not able to concentrate on his work. His wife had left him in such a vulnerable state. The flashes of her, loosening his tie and then opening his collar button was going on in his mind. He remembered how she brushed her soft lips on his.

Damn that Sheetal!! Ruined the moment.

Sheetal entered his cabin to handle some designs.

Arnav...Arnav she called him twice but still he didn't respond. He was lost in his wife's thoughts. Aman looked at his boss staring at his wife's photo in his cabin.

Aman: Sir, Sheetal is calling.

Uhh, yeah, what is it Sheetal? Asked Arnav after coming back to his senses.

Just have a look at these designs.

Handle it to Aman, I am not in a mood, he replied uninterested.

Sheetal obeyed him and handed the file to Aman. Aman checked it and looked at his boss.

I think its fine, said Aman and gave it back to Sheetal.

Here Sheetal was damn frustrated when she didn't get any response or attention from Arnav.

I have to do something of this Khushi. She is ruining my plan, she thought.

Arnav pretended to type something in laptop and again gazed at Khushi's photo. A smirk appeared on his lips. Aman didn't fail to notice that. Aman cleared his throat, making Arnav come back to senses.

Is your throat not proper? Taunted Arnav.

Aman hid his smile. Arnav glanced at Sheetal.

Is there anything else Sheetal?

No, nothing.

I think I don't pay you to stand in front of me!!! He said, gritting his teeth.

Yeah, I was about to go, she stammered.

Then OUT!!! He almost roared.

Sheetal shuddered for a second. For the first time in her life she saw Arnav shouting at her. She felt insulted again. Without wasting time she went out.

Do I need to give some invitation card to you Aman, to go out? He asked in a soft voice.

I am going he replied.

Before closing the door Aman called out.

Sir!!!

What is it Aman? He asked, controlling his frustration(about the kiss).

Woh..i was saying that..woh..

Woh..woh..kya laga rakha hai? Say properly. Arnav gritted his teeth.

Aman grinned.

Aagayi aapki khayalon ki mallika!!(The queen of your dreams has come) He said showing his teeth.

Huh? Arnav frowned, not able to understand what Aman said. Aman signaled him to look at the glass window. There she was, his queen. She looked damn pretty in that dark blue saree. He was looking at her beautiful face. He started to smirk, now. He was getting intoxicated due to her presence.

ENJOY!!! Screamed Aman from outside, closing the door properly.

What the!! Even Aman started to tease me.

Arnav started smiling now. He was so happy to see Khushi here. While she was going upstairs she met Sheetal on the way.

Sheetal was surprised to see Khushi here.

Sheetal: What are you doing here?

Khushi ignored her and continued to walk.

Sheetal(angrily): I am asking you something.

Khushi got angry now. With full of attitude she replied to Sheetal,

And I don't think its necessary to answer you. Its my husband's office and I can come here at any time. Have I made myself clear?

Even without listening to Sheetal, Khushi stormed to her husband's cabin. Sheetal frowned.

Arnav saw his wife entering his cabin. A smirk appeared on his lips. She kept the bag on his table, which contained their lunch. After a long time she came to his office. He caught her wrist and swiftly pulled her towards him.

He whispered, were you missing me so much Khushi? Its just 12.15!!!

Khushi looked everywhere, but not him. Now his smirk grew wider.

Jawaab do. (Answer me)

I am very hun..hungry..thats it she replied softly. She knew she was caught. It was too early for lunch.

He bent down and bought his lips closer to her ear, "Laal hai"(Its red)

Khushi was wondering what was he speaking.

"Tumhare gaal"(Your cheeks), so its no use lying to me, I know you were desperately waiting to see me, he teased her. Her cheeks became redder. But soon, she came up with a witty answer.

Are you saying about mine or your condition Arnavji? She teased him back.

He was about to answer her but Sheetal knocked the door. Khushi pushed Arnav away. She remembered that she must not fall weak before Arnav.

Sheetal(fuming); I forgot my mobile here.

She took her mobile from the table and gave a final glare at Khushi. Sheetal left the room. Arnav noticed the same uneasiness in Khushi's face. How could he help her get out of this mess? Again she turned to that arrogant Khushi. She started unpacking the lunch and served it to Arnav, whereas she sat far from Arnav. While drinking curd , some of the curd stain was on Arnav's face. Khushi looked at him. She signaled him towards the stain. He didn't get her.

There is some curd on your face, she spoke up.

Arnav rubbed it on wrong side.

Is it fine now?

Khushi nodded her face in a no, and came to help him. She slowly wiped the stain on his face from her thumb. Arnav was lost in her eyes. After she was done, she got up. Arnav caught her wrist.

Still angry with me? He asked her softly.

She didn't reply.

I am sorry Khushi, I had no intention of hurting you. I know I ignored you a lot, but trust me, I didn't do that purposely.

Please leave me Arnavji.

Until when will you run from me? Till when will you be angry with me? One day you have to forgive me. Khushi lets sit for some time and sort out our misunderstandings.

He made her sit on the sofa. Her eyes were moist. He cupped her face.

Now tell me..he was cut in middle when he heard a knock again.

It was Aman.

Sir I want your signatures on these papers.

Aman explained him the details and took his sign. Arnav locked the cabin door as he didn't want any disturbance. Now again Arnav looked at Khushi.

Ok I was saying that..again he was cut in middle. Again there was a knock. Arnav opened the door and was about to shout but stopped looking at the person.

This time it was Akash.

Say Akash.

Akash looked at Khushi sitting inside and came to know his bhai's reason for frustration.

Sorry to disturb bhai, but I cant make it for the presentation today. Actually I have to go to Agra today, I have a meeting with Mr. Sharma. So I will set off in 2 hours.

Arnav nodded his head in agreement.

So bhai, let Khushiji attend the presentation instead of me. Anyways she is a board of member.

Khushi's eyes popped out when she heard Akash.

Me? How can I? suddenly she stopped when she heard Akash saying, "It is at 2, Sheetal is doing the presentation".

Why cant I? I will surely attend the presentation jijaji.

Khushi smirked just like Arnav.

Akash went outside and this time Arnav didn't close the door because he knew there has to be someone who disturbs them. He took Khushi along with him, under the table.

Now no one will disturb us here.

You didn't get any other place to talk? I mean, here Arnavji, under the table?

Why? Why not under the table? When you can hide inside my wardrobe, think inside my wardrobe, hide under my table then why cant you do it now? He asked her with serious face.

If we sit on the sofa and speak, then it will be night when we will finish our talk, he spoke again.

She looked at him with intense eyes. She tried to adjust her position.

He kept his hand protectively above her head so that she doesn't get hurt because of the table above her. He looked at her with intense eyes. She was still his same old Khushi who was shy, bubbly, chirpy and kind. She was just pretending to be rude and cold. Her eyes conveyed him that she still loved him the same way. They shared an eyelock.

She saw him shutting his eyes tightly. He looked like he was in pain. Khushi was confused at his expressions. She felt her hand becoming heavy and her gaze shifted to their hand. His hand was bleeding and above it there was a pointed heel. Tears started flowing from Khushi's eyes. He really had high control over his pain. Khushi opened her mouth to speak but Arnav kept his other hand on Khushi's mouth indicating her not to speak. Sheetal's phone started ringing aloud and she picked up her phone and went out of the room, forgetting to check the hand. As soon as Sheetal went out Arnav started hissing in pain. Khushi's tears weren't stopping. She took his wounded hand in her palm. The skin was tore. Khushi closed her eyes unable to see the wound.

Khushi, its ok, I am fine.

Khushi opened her eyes.

What fine? See you are bleeding so much. Why did you get yourself hurt? And how dare she?

She sucked the blood from his hand. She managed to scold him even when she was crying. Arnav was amazed at his wife.

Is it paining a lot? She asked him tenderly.

He nodded his head in a no. She sniffed.

Lie!! You are a liar Arnavji. I know its paining a lot, but you will never let me know. Now will you mind to answer me why you did this? She was going to stamp me right? Arnav cut her in middle.

Yeah exactly, she was gonna stamp you and I cannot tolerate that. Anyone hurting you will face the worst of me. He said that gritting his teeth. And I wont let anyone hurt you.

And I wont leave that cruel lady. How dare she hurt you? You are the most important person in my life and Sheetal did a big mistake by hurting you. I wont leave you Sheetal, Khushi thought.

Where are you lost? Asked Arnav. Khushi came out of her thoughts.

Do you have a first aid box? She asked.

No, replied Arnav.

Great Mr.Arnav Singh Raizada. Why are you so careless? She chided him.

You are there right to take care of me, he said softly.

She tore the end of the pallu of her saree and tied it on his hand. He just watched her doing that.

And that's why everytime you take advantage of my care and my innocence. Everyone think that I am kind, good, caring, innocent and a dumb person. Some people do think that I am a fool also. You know that I cant live without you and till today I forgave you for your every mistake. But each time you take advantage of that Arnavji. I am also a human, with a heart. It hurts when you don't spend ample time with me. It hurts when I see you with some other lady. I really hate it when you take me for granted.

She finished tieing the cloth on his hand. She looked at him. Her face was wet with tears. He cupped her face and kissed her forehead.

I know Khushi that I have hurt you a lot of times and each time you forgave me. I am sorry Khushi, for everything. But I didn't hurt you intentionally this time. I know I was busy with work and couldn't spend time with you but that doesn't mean that I was with Sheetal , everytime. I wont do this again Khushi. And I cant see you like this, in pain. Please forgive me.

She wiped his tears and hugged him. Arnav got his answer. She forgave him. He too hugged her back and they didn't realize when they slept in each other's arms.

************

After one and half hours,

Akash went inside Arnav's cabin. He searched for them everywhere inside the cabin.

Where did bhai and Khushiji vanish?he thought.

Then suddenly he caught a glimpse of a blue cloth on the floor. It looked like a saree. Akash bent down and saw his bhai and Khushiji under the table. He was damn shocked and surpised. Upon that they were sleeping under the table. Akash raised his brows in surprise and gave a naughty smile. Akash slowly patted on Arnav's shoulder. Arnav slowly opened his eyes and saw Akash staring at him.

What the!! Came a quick response.

Arnav finally realized where he was and in which position. He saw a teasing smile on Akash's face.

Did you both find only this place to sleep? Here, under the table? Akash teased Arnav.

Arnav was dumbstruck. He had no reply.

When do you people let me and Khushi spend some time alone? Murmured Arnav. Akash laughed when he heard Arnav's murmur.

Ok, I wont disturb you, I came to say you that I am leaving to Agra now, you and Khushiji have to attend the conference after 20 minutes.

Arnav nodded his head. Akash went out smiling. Arnav slowly caressed Khushi's hair and took her name. Khushi opened her eyes, getting up from sleep.

Khushi, we have to attend the conference soon, get up.

She slowly broke the hug. Oh yeah, she had to take revenge from Sheetal. They both came out of the table. Khushi was about to go out, but Arnav called her.

Khushi just change your saree before you attend the conference.

Khushi frowned unable to understand. Then she looked at his hand, and realized that she had tore her saree to dress his wound. She smiled and went to change her saree.

*************

Arnav what are you doing? Asked Sheetal, when here hand started paining.

Arnav had twisted her hand backwards.

This is nothing compared to what you did. How dare you Sheetal? How dare you even think of hurting MY KHUSHI????

Sheetal gulped her throat.

What did I do? She asked stammering.

What did you do?? Arnav gritted his teeth. Don't act smart Sheetal, you thought you would stamp Khushi's hand with your heels, but unluckily you stomp my hand, he said gritting his teeth. Sheetal's eyes popped out.

I am sorry Arnav, I didn't want to hurt you, she said with fake tears.

I NEVER LET ANYONE TOUCH KHUSHI AND STAMPING HER HAND IS OUT OF QUESTION!!!GET THAT IN YOUR SMALL BRAIN!! I GUESS YOU HAVENT SEEN MY ANGER YET!!!

Arnav twisted her hand more. His nails were pricking her skin.

. Be glad Sheetal that nothing happened to Khushi or else you had invited death. He warned her.

While walking towards the conference hall, Sheetal saw Khushi coming towards her. Khushi had a cup of coffee in her hand and when she saw Sheetal, her anger had rised to peak. How dare she hurt Arnavji? She immediately threw the whole coffee on Sheetal's face. Sheetal started coughing.

What the hell was that Khushi? Sheetal shouted.

DON'T SHOUT!!! HOW DARE YOU STAMP ON MY ARNAVJI"S HAND?? I WONT NEED MUCH TIME TO THROW YOU OUT OF MY HOUSE OR THE OFFICE. REMEMBER THIS SHEETAL KAPOOR!! KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA SINGH RAIZADA CAN NEVER TOLERATE ANYONE HURTING HER HUSBAND AND IF ANYONE DOES THAT THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO FACE THE WORST OF ME!! GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD, she roared, gritting her teeth.

Here Khushi, and there Arnav, both will make my life hell, thought Sheetal.

**************

All the members were present in the conference hall. Sheetal started her presentation. Arnav was concentrating only on Khushi.

Sheetal: So, these are the new designs, of this year, in AR. Most of the Indians have started adopting western culture nowadays. So its better if AR starts producing more western clothes like jeans and skirts. Most of the youth go for western than Indian, so I have made these new designs.

Sheetal started presenting the new designs of men suits, pants, tops, shirts, jeans, short skirts, tops, gowns, party wears, bikinis, swimsuits;

Khushi closed her eyes when she saw the swimsuit designs. Arnav smiled looking at his wife's expressions.

Sheetal ended her presentation and everyone clapped except for Arnav and Khushi.

Sheetal: Any questions?

Arnav had no questions because he had not heard a single word of what Sheetal spoke. He was just admiring Khushi.

Khushi: Your presentation is incomplete. Where are the indian cloth designs?

SHeetal: I think you didn't hear me Khushi, I said people prefer western over Indian nowadays.

Khushi: That's what you think, not everyone. This is India, not London!!! I know most of them like western nowadays but that doesn't mean that they hate Indian clothes. There are people who prefer Salwars over jeans.

Sheetal: In which age are you there Khushi? The world is changing. Its adopting western culture. Most of the people in Delhi prefer western.

Khushi: And the western culture is adopting Indian. There are demands for sarees in foreign. You say that most of the people in Delhi prefer western. I agree, but most of the aunties don't wear short skirts and walk in the roads of Delhi.

Some people giggled at Khushi's comment. Sheetal felt humiliated.

Khushi: Don't just think about the youth. Think about everyone. Nobody wears jeans during weddings in INDIA!!!

Sheetal: You are insulting me.

Khushi: I am just saying the fact, if you feel insulted then its not my problem. And please give the same importance to Indian culture as you gave to western. The world might be changing, but 75% of Indian women still go for sarees rather than short skirts. Every Indian woman doesn't wear a bikini while going to beach. Do keep that in your mind, this is India, not foreign.

Everyone laughed again. Arnav was impressed at his wife's thoughts.

Khushi: So you need to give the same importance to sarees, lehengas, salwars, kurtas, sherwanis etc as much as your pant shirts and short skirts. We want the designs ready as soon as possible.

The conference ended. Sheetal gritted her teeth. She was humiliated infront of 15 people.

Arnav: Yup, you will, because I have chosen a better designer for my office.

Sheetal(angrily): Meaning? You cant do this.

Arnav: I am the owner of the company and I can do anything I want. Why should I waste my money on you when I have better designer.

One more member: Mr.Raizada is right, even we didn't like the designs much.

Arnav(gritting his teeth): Miss. Sheetal Kapoor, you are FIRED and I guess I don't need to tell the reason in front of everyone.

Sheetal walked out of the room, fuming.

************

Arnav and Khushi both entered their home. It was indeed very dark. Both were surpised. Arnav held Khushi's hand because she was scared. And then they heard some blast. Lights came.

Khushi was shocked to see decorations in home. There were balloons, with "SORRY" on it. Khushi smiled.

Anjali walked towards Khushi.

Anjali: Khushiji I know we have hurt you a lot, and ignored you since long, but believe us, you still have the same place in our heart. We still love you the same way. We are ashamed of our behavior and we regret a lot.

Nani: Yeah bitiya, we saw a child after a long time in our house and got busy with him. We are sorry for not seeing your pain.

Payal: I am sorry Khushi, I ignored you even after being your sister. I didn't know that you were hurt because of us.

Mami: And neither bhe(we) knew that Sheetalwa was Arnav bitua's ekch(ex) girlpriendwa. I apologije for comparing Arnav bitua with Aarav. Don't ever pheel that Sheetalwa is English phillm heroine because, your Mamiwa ijj the MOOSST BUTTIFUL(Beautiful) LADY in the world!!

Khushi laughed heartily. So did everyone.

Nk: Yeah Maasiji!! I am sorry Khushiji, I was wasting my time behind Sheetal, and didn't spend time with my best friend.

Akash: Sorry Khushiji, even I compared bhai and Aarav, I was also careless. I know I have also hurt you a lot.

Khushi smiled at them. Tears of happiness flowed from her eyes.

Arnav: Akash you were going to Agra right?(pause) Now I know, you lied to me, to arrange all these!!

Akash smiled.

Anjali gave a big chart to Khushi. Khushi opened it and smiled. The chart had her photos with Anjali(during Akash's engagement), with Nk(during the desi girl song*sorry I don't remember what function it was*), with Akash and Payal(during holi), with Mami, with Nani(during Oo lala dance).

Everyone: Did you forgive us?

Khushi: I have a condition.

Everyone: What?

Khushi: You have to eat my halwa puri.

Everyone's eyes popped out. Everyone together: NOOO!!! Khushi laughed again, I was just joking. She hugged everyone, except the boys.

Khushi looked at the chart again.

Di where is mine and Arnavji's pic in this photo?

Anjali: Was that also required?

She teased Khushi. Khushi pouted. Anjali turned the chart and there was big poster of Arnav and Khushi's wedding. A big smile appeared on Khushi's lips.

Khushi: Thank you, I liked it. I want a promise from everyone that you all will never hurt me again.

Everyone: Promise Khushi/ji/bitiya.

Even I have a surprise for everyone, said Arnav, where are Sheetal n Aarav?

HP went and called Sheetal and Aarav. Aarav was watering the plants.

Aarav: ASR, you called me?

Arnav bent down to reach his level. Sheetal also came there.

Big boy, I am going to tell some truth to you. Promise that you wont be too upset.

Aarav kept his palm on Arnav's hand. A man came inside. Sheetal started sweating, seeing him.

This is Rohit, Sheetal's ex-husband. Aarav is his son. Sheetal left him one year after Aarav was born because Rohit's financial condition wasn't good. And after 3 years, Rohit's business improved and Sheetal went back to him, but Rohit didn't accept her. Rohit, let Aarav stay with Sheetal because he didn't want Aarav to be deprived of his mother's love. Due to Rohit's rejection, Sheetal had to work in a caf, but that didn't improve her financial condition. So she made a plan, she taught Aarav to act like me, so that everyone believe that Aarav is my son and try to take some money from me, and made Khushi feel low, by trying to come close to me and making her believe that I am fond of Sheetal. But you made a mistake by thinking that our love is weak.

This is all a lie, said Sheetal.

Arnav is saying the truth, said Rohit. Rohit showed them his and Sheetal's wedding photos. Khushi was shocked. They also saw Aarav's photo(as a baby) with Sheetal and Rohit. Aarav was also shocked.

Don't believe him, Aarav is Arnav's son, said Sheetal.

Khushi marched towards Sheetal and slapped her hard on her face.

This is for putting false blame on my husband.

She slapped again.

This is for hurting me from so long and trying to break my marriage.

She slapped once again.

This is for playing with Aarav's emotions.

She slapped again. Mami blinked her eyes seeing this tigress.

This is for stomping on Arnavji's hand.

All were shocked. Anjali checked his hand and was relieved seeing the cloth. Sheetal's face was dark red. Khushi pulled Sheetal's hair and threw her out of the house. The police took Sheetal to jail. Aarav went to his actual home with Rohit.

Khushi hugged Arnav.

Everything is fine, Khushi!!

*********

Khushi came out, wearing the saree which Arnav gifted her. She was looking damn pretty. He came close to her. She looked at the room covered with flowers. They both had dinner together, privately in the room. After the dinner, like a gentleman Arnav asked her for a dance. Khushi gave him her hand, and they started dancing on the song.

Arnav pushed her hair aside and kissed her lips fully.

I love you Khushi, he whispered.

I love you too, Arnavji, she said.

Arnav gave her a parcel. Khushi was surprised. He gestured her to open it. It was their tickets, for Thailand, to spend their honeymoon.

I thought its high time we go for a honeymoon to spend time alone with my wife.

Khushi smiled and hugged him.

Thank you Arnavji, she replied, Promise me that you will never hurt me again.

I promise, he whispered, kissing her hair.

The end.
