DEPRIVED :
Khushi took the sindoor box and take it back at it's place. She was a bit worried but brushes any bad tough from her head. Nothing will happen. She though, and she was right. Devy Maya couldn't punish her for someone else misdeeds. On the other hand, Arnav was at is office, lost in his thoughts. How could someone change that drastically? He was unable to understand such changes in his wife behavior. He was too disturbed to focus on his work so he cancelled everything and decided to go back home.
Raizada Mansion :
It was lunch time
He entered the house and saw her on the sofa, polishing her nails. He greeted her but she didn't respond. He left his briefcase on the sofa and headed to the kitchen, he was hungry.
He came back furiously.
A: KHUSHI
K: What's the need to scream? I'm not deaf !
A: I can't find my lunch
She did as if she didn't hear
K: you can easily get some food on your office. Why you bothered yourself by coming home to have lunch? Was you missing me? She said mockingly
A: please I don't want to argue I'm very hungry.
K: oh poor baby! I'm afraid there is nothing for you. She said, faking concern
His eyes widened in shock. Did she just say that there was no food for him?
A: you're kidding right?
K: I may be kidding with people, but not with you. I thought you might afford food for yourself so I didn't leave anything for you.
He was angry now
A: you thought? Can't you just stop assuming things and ask me before doing something?
K: ewww! How cute you look when you're angry. She was getting on his nerves
A: IT'S NOT FUNNY! He shouted.
A: you're doing your best to spoil my mood. Why?
K: look who's asking for that! I behave the way you wanted so stop complaining.
A: I never asked you to behave like that.
K: yeah I'm the one who lost it ! Anyway you should go and get some food for yourself coz you won't find any here.
A: I won't waste my time, buying food
K: that's your problem. It's your time, it's your money. I don't care
A: why are you always bringing money in between?
K: coz that the solely language you understand, money, money and money.
A: if you're that disgusted of My money then why do you use it? You're that proud of yourself right? Then why don't you find a job and earn your own money?
She was hurt. She knew that what he wanted but she couldn't leave him get his way so easily.
K: you've got a point sweetheart ! But let me tell you, being your wife is a full-time job. In addition, the boss (he) is unbearable. You should thank me for being here. It's not everyday you'll get an employee as loyal as I'm. Because the salary I receive isn't worth the work I have to provide to bear you. So remember one thing Mr Arnav Singh Raizada, all your wealth won't be enough to compensate for the torture I have to endure for being your wife ! She spat it on his face before leaving.
He was left with no words ( he should be habituated to be tongue tied)
She considered herself as an employee, his employee. How could a wife think that she's her husband employee? ( how can't she when she have you as her husband?)
Was it that bad to be his wife that she considered it like a torture?
He felt like being stabbed in his heart. He got stabbed by the one you always make sure he doesn't get hurt. ASR was broken.
For the first time in his life, he was hurt to see someone binding everything to money. He always thought that way, but his wife was the only one to think otherwise. She didn't marry him bcoz he was rich, she married him for himself. She loved who he was, not what he had, she was kind hearted. For the first time, he understood her.
You never value what you have until you lose it.
She was always caring and lovely with him, but not anymore. She turned onto a cold woman, a woman he didn't recognize. She always had this innocence in her, she was a pure soul. He even remembered how she always did her best to please him, to make him smile. Her smile was the most lightening thing he ever seen. Her happiness always lied in his. Her love was genuine, she never asked for anything apart for his love and care. Yeah! She never was interested by his wealth, all what she needed was him, only him, her husband, the same husband who failed to understand her, the same one who broke her heart, the man she loved more than herself but who never returned her love. Till now he never realise that she always sacrifice herself to see him happy. No, he didn't knew. He was too blinded by his arrogance, his ego, his power, his position.
He always bound their relationship to his wealth. He though she'll be happy with a lot of money, luxury, expensive clothes. He was wrong. Then one thing came to his mind. Every time he saw her happy, was when he hugged or kissed her. She was more happy with such small things than with any expensive gifts. She needed only him. Yeah! She "needed" because now he couldn't say the same. For the first time in his life, the mighty ASR was unsecure. He was unsecure about is position as a husband, as a lover, and as a man. He was not sure anymore about his wife love. She loved him that's true. But now had she even an inch of this love for him? Was it too late? The table had turned, it was his turn to get the cold shoulder.
He felt deprived, deprived from his rights. But he forgot one thing, rights come with duties. One can't claim for his rights when he can't accomplish his duties. He vowed to respect her, to protect her, to cherishes her, to love her. But he failed to do so.
In their room :
Khushi was talking with her best friend, her Devy Maya. She didn't know if her words had some effects on Arnav, but one thing was sure. She won't leave him that easily. She promise her (to Devy Maya) that she'll make him realize how it feels to be mistreated by your loved one.
COME WHAT MAY !
~~~To be continued ~~~
