Chapter III: Branded

Arnav let go of Khushi's dupatta, and stepped back to survey the result of his handiwork.

Her eyes were shuttered, she had turned a beet red, neck up, but her knuckles, still clutching the banister, were pale. Her rapid breathing caused her chest to rise and fall' she was still caught up in the moment.

"Khushi?" he said softly.

Her eyes flew open, and suddenly realizing that they'd just gotten intimate in a fairly public spot in the Raizada house, she panicked, quickly glanced around and relieved that no one was there, ran up the stairs, her hand clutching her dupatta to her chest!

"Khushi'. Wait!!" Arnav yelled. She didn't bother looking back'. "Dammit, don't run away from me.. you!" he added clearly upset, and somewhat frustrated.

So lost in thought, she collided into a hard, muscular form and felt two hands steady her. Her body instinctively cringed in revulsion, and she found herself looking into Shyam's beady eyes, his lecherous look as blatant as it could get.

"What happened Khushi ji? Were you looking for me?!" he asked, in a sickly sweet voice.

"No!" she spat back. "Let go of me' I've got to help your wife, Anjali ji with some wedding stuff," she added.

"Not until you speak to me nice and proper, lady," Shyam growled, his hands digging into her soft, creamy flesh.

"Let go of me, or I'll yell the house down!" she threatened.

"Oh really Khushi ji?! And what will you tell people? Or would you risk your sister's wedding being called off the second time, as well?" he replied, pushing her back against a wall.

She struggled in vain, and it only seemed to amuse him that she couldn't match his strength. He moved closer, and asked, "Now Khushi ji, how about an apology for being so rude?"

Not knowing what else to do, Khushi head butted him and as he groaned and involuntarily let her go, rushed away from the spot!

Her body was still shivering with disgust. She felt violated' she ran out to the living room, and found the others preoccupied, in the hustle and bustle of the wedding.

I can't take this anymore! I must do something'

She ran up to Arnav's room, confident he wasn't there. It would give her time to recover from the horror of this encounter, and think about her next course of action.

Once inside, she shut the door and leaned on it, as if drawing strength and comfort from its solidness. Her head was resting on the panel, as she steadied her breathing and sighed.

"Unbelievable! Khushi Kumari Gupta!"

Hai Devi Maiyya' that was the Laad Governor's voice! What was this? He was invading her thoughts now.

A pair of hands gripped her arms and turned her.

"WHAT THE'.!" yelled Arnav. "First you run off without waiting to hear what I wanted to say, and now you barge into my room and lock the door! Make up your mind dammit, don't be a tease!"

"Ouch!" she yelled in pain, and they immediately softened. She drew her hands up to her arms, rubbing her skin gently, to soothe the pain. "Sorry, sorry, sorry'." She mumbled, her body racked with sobs.

"Huh?! Khushi' tum theek to ho?!" his tone softer, gentler' he immediately released her arms to find two ugly bruises, imprints of his hands on her soft, pale complexion.

"Shit' did I do that? No' was I that rough?!" Arnav pondered aloud. He backed off from her, trying to give her some space, but stopped when she clung to his vest.

"Arnav ji' I don't know what to do'" she pleaded.

"What happened Khushi? You want to start from the beginning? Tell me how those bruises got there. I'm sorry if it's my fault," Arnav said gently. His arms went up around to hug her, his hand resting on her head, as he caressed it slowly.

Unable to contain her anxiety and fear any longer, Khushi let herself go'.

Finally got around to updating this.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and motivation. This is a different track - they aren't married here, and are just discovering the depths of their feelings. And Shyam babua as usual, is making life tough for Khushi... who knows, he might get caught here before the misunderstanding takes place?!

Please let me know if you want PMs and yes, I love comments... do keep them coming!
