Chapter 20

Shayam woke with a start, his face pale and drawn, he walked around the room picking up files and disks and looking at them curiously, as if seeing them for the first time. His face twitched and contorted, low gruntel sounds coming from he's throat, his fingers twitched and his body spasmed. He walked to the door and threw it open, a lecherous grin breaking over his face. "Khushali." He said in a grating voice low and salacious.

Leaving the room, he walked towards the east wing. The door was bolted again. Shayam concentrated on the door and it swung open of it's own accord. He walked in going from room to room as if searching he reached a room at the far end the doors swung open but as he tried to step in he could not step through, he tried again and didn't succeed.

It was like a force field kept him out the one place in the east wing Shayamraj could not defile with his evil presence. In body or spirit he was bound never to enter this particular room in the east wing. Frustrated he roared in rage making the doors and windows slam open and close. "Arnavya." He roared in rage at the one adversary he could never defeat alive of dead.

Arnav lay fully clothed over the covers the covered Khushi, as she lay in his arms. He had understood her need for human comfort from him and though he desired her, he had suppressed his desires, to provide comfort to her. He traced his fingers up and down her arm enjoying the texture of her skin. He breathed in the floral fragrance of her hair, and simply enjoyed having the heart beat against his. He was content. Everything else could wait.

He heard the sounds coming from the east wing, the banging of windows and doors, the howls of rage he even heard his name carried on the wind. And in his heart he knew he had to ready himself for battle. He also had some idea from where it would come.

After they had carried Shayam out of the east wing, the strange sense of dj vu came over him. Though Shayam face did not resemble Shayamraj's Arnav felt his presence. He had seen and recognised the malice in Shayam's face that was not his own but was definitely meant for him. He knew the Shayam was not all human and that was one of the reasons that he didn't leave Khushi side tonight. He watched her sleep peacefully, more beautiful in the moonlight. He heard a low grunting sound coming from outside the door and he knew who it was.

Pulling his arms gently from around Khushi, Arnav took a deep breath and followed his instincts; and the instructions given to him by Acharaya Pandit Veershankar Upadiaya, his family's spiritual guru. The moment he had realised what had happened Arnav had called Viran Raizada and informed him about everything that had happened at Kundanpur, he in turn had gotten in touch with the Acharaya who had informed them of what precautions had to be taken against the evil spirit. Arnav and Akaash instructed Hira and Buvan Lal who had taken the task of marking the inside of all the bedrooms with Kumkum and ghee. Akaash had informed everybody staying there that they were not to come out of their rooms for any reason what so ever.

Now Arnav walked to the small temple of Lord Shiva that Khushi had established in her room. He held his hands together in a silent pray. The small thali had all the ingredients for pooja on it, he picked up the little diya and a fist full of Kumkum . Getting down on one knee he dripped some oil on either side of the door and drew a line of kumkum along the breath of the door. Placing the diya back in at the alter, and went and opened the door. And said with complete authority "I know who you are, and you can never cross this thresh hold, she was mine then and she is mine now. I fought for her till death then and I will fight for her till death now. And you will never win."

Shayam who stood on the other side of the door sniggered softly and lifted his hand to push Arnav out of the way but his hand stopped at thin air. He tried to push he hand through but he could not reach across the door. His face contorted with rage. "I will kill you and smear these walls with your blood." His voice rasped like it was lined with sandpaper. "You will have to step out some time." He grinned.

Arnav smiled back confidently you can't touch her or me, "we are protected by our love and your evil cannot touch us." His voice tuned hard and cold "so leave this man and go to hell where you deserve to be, your time here of up and I am preparing to send you where you belong and away from the world of the living." Arnav stood straight to his full height one hand on the door and the other behind his back exactly like Arnavya and commanded "now go, go"

Shayam gashed his teeth, his face contorted with rage, his eyes shifting from place but not looking at Arnav. He turned around and stomped off to the east wing. Knocking down vases and statues and lashing out at anything that was along the way.

Arnav stood at the door for a moment, he heard a door open and looked in that direction, Akaash and Rohit stood by the door with a wide eyed Payal behind them. "Are you alright?" Akaash asked, Arnav nodded "Acharayaji said that he will stew for some time, he's out of his element and Shayam is trapped. Dad and Acharayaji will be here by noon tomorrow. We have to send the rest back, for their own safety."

"We have to tell them the truth." Rohit said. "Dev would want to know. He is responsible of Shayam, he is an employee of A&I."

"Fine, call a meeting in the morning around 7' O clock, the spirit will be out at that time hopefully and we can make all the arrangements then." Arnav said, he looked over his shoulder at a still sleeping Khushi, he smiled at the sight of her, wiped a hand over his tired face.

"Bhai, You should rest, Rohit and I will take turns keeping watch. We'll inform you if anything develops." Akaash said. And Rohit nodded vigorously with a big grin on his face. "I wouldn't mind going a couple of rounds with the ghost, it will give me a chance to smash Jha's face, just for being such a week ass for getting possessed."

Arnav shook his head and shut the door. He got into bed with Khushi, she steered and woke up, "What?" she asked groggily, "nothing , go back to sleep." She smiled, put her arm around his waist and snuggled comfortably in his arms, he held her tightly and kissed the top of her head. Letting sleep take him, her fragrance letting him relax.

Khushali stood by the window looking out, when Arnavya walked in. She turned to look at him over her shoulder giving him a coy smile. She lifted the heavy fall of the hair that covered her back, to reveal smooth creamy bare flesh, the dories of her choli were undone hanging loose. "Khushali??" Arnavya said in a husky voice. He quickly closed the door to his room, "Khushali what are you doing here, and what is this" he indicated her bare back, as he gulped. She turned to him and smiled "it is exactly what it looks like, I love you Arnavya, and I want to belong to you." He walked to her running his finger down her hair and face. "I love you too, and this can wait we will be married in a month then we will have all the time in to world to love each other."

Khushali face fell, her hands falling to her side as the choli slipped further down exposing the top of her full plump breast. "What if we don't, I don't want to wait till after we are married." A fat tear ran down her cheek. She looked at him with eyes heavy with tears "I want you to love me as a husband should love his wife, I already think of you as my husband with my heart and soul, and I surrender my body to my husband of my own free will, I don't know why? But I need to join myself to you in the flesh." She cried desperately.
Arnavya was only human and he could not deny her anything, gently eh guided her to his bed, he took off his shirt before slowly undressing her. she lay on the bed her face alight with joy as he came to her and into her joining their bodies as one. Fusing the bond that even, death could not break, granting the lover the time to love before they would part and search the earth for each other.

Arnav was still asleep when Khushi woke up the next morning, she felt relax and rested. Seeing Arnav lying besides her with arm around her Khushi smiled. Though there were slight dark circles under his eyes he looked so peaceful asleep. A lock of hair across his forehead she smiled and lifted her hand to brush it up tracing his face with her fingers lingering at his lips. His eyelids fluttered and opened. Pleasantly, drawn out of his dream of making love to Khushi. His eyes focused on her, and he smiled the most beautiful smile she had ever seen unable to hold herself, she moved forward and placed her lips against his, his surprised gasp was her reward and he deepened the kiss. He moaned with pleasure, his body already aroused from the erotic dream. Khushi held still for a moment at the sudden assault of desire her body melted into his moulding herself to fit with his hard form. She clung to him as mouth trailed a part of heated kissed from the chin to her breast, pulling roughly at the halter top to expose her bra covered breast. His mouth closed over the lace cupping he full breast sucking and teasing her nipple through the fabric. Khushi moaned her pleasure and arching her back, pressing her body into his.
