Khushi hadn't slept the entire night planning today out. Her husband had tortured her enough over the years. All the humiliation she faced.
Today was the day she would stand up to Arnav Singh Raizada and say that enough was enough.
She would stand for her own self today. Her rights.
She went closer to her personal study. She sat down trembling thinking of what had to be done today. She had already done phase one of her plan. That was to call Arnav back from office in the middle of the day. And that was done just a few minutes ago.
She told him that she felt sick and if she knew Arnav, he would already be on his way home.
She opened the drawer. It slid creaking open and there in front of her was the weapon. A gun. A small black colored gun.
Khushi had already made sure that it was fully loaded in the morning itself.
Today Arnav Singh Raizada would pay for his sins.
Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada would make sure of it.
------------------------------
Arnav was already up and leaving his office. He was in no mood to be trifled with. He had known his wife was up to something and Arnav always had a counter attack.
He knew what he had to do.
Akash met him at the door.
Akash: Where are you off to bhai?
Arnav: Nothing Akash. Khushi called in feeling "Sick". She is so going to get it today.
Akash just shook his head.
Akash: Bhai just don't do something that you'll later regret.
Arnav: Oh no akash. Today I shall show her who I really am. I am going to show her I don't take crap from anyone. Specially my wife. If she has a plan, I have a worse one in mind. After all people don't call me Evil Singh Raizada for nothing now do they.
Akash: Just be careful bhai. These women can be dangerous when they are desperate.
Arnav: Women should know what Arnav Singh Raizada is on the verge of desperation. Trust me Akash, I will make her pay dearly for lying to me about her health and calling me home like this.
Aman just ran to where the Raizada brothers were standing and chatting.
Aman: ASR, it is done. The people we hired will do it without letting anyone know. Plus the suit you are wearing is safe. Khushi wont know what hit her. But sir, isn't this too extreme?
Arnav: Extreme is what I am all about. Now let me go. I have a wife to tame at home.
Arnav left to sit and drive in his SUV leaving Aman and Akash guessing as to what was going to be the outcome of it all.
---------------
Khushi was ready at home. She was pacing her study nervously. Her hands were trembling. Everything had to be just perfect.
She then took the gun and hid it in her waist on the back so that she can approach Arnav without him knowing what she was going to do.
Khushi: Today I'll tell you what they call feminine power Mr. Raizada.
---------------
Arnav drove his car into the driveway and then to the main steps of the house. He gave his keys to HP and asked him to park the car.
Arnav removed his coat and made his way into Shantivan.
There was silence all around inside the house. It looked like Khushi had gotten rid of everyone else.
Arnav could hear her in the kitchen.
Arnav (thinking): trying to be innocent Gupta? You are going to regret this later.
And there it was. Arnav's confident smirk was back.
----------------
Khushi heard him go to the room.
She recalled the challenge.
----Flashback-------
Arnav: Oh come on Khushi, I can pull better pranks than you.
Khushi: You're a big laad governor. Your pea-sized brain can only play games like business-business. You can't prank a fly.
Arnav pinned khushi on the wall behind her and looked at her with utter confidence.
Arnav: I sure will knock you out when I prank you.
Khushi: And we aren't going to even kiss each other until then.
-----End of flashback----
And Arnav had kept to his words all right. Just two hours had passed between the bet and his prank.
-----Flashback-----
Khushi just made tea for Arnav and she walked back to the room. She had put some chili powder in the tea in order to prank him. She got to the half open door.
Arnav was sitting on the recliner and looking at her with a smile.
Khushi (thinking): Lets wipe that smile shall we.
And she opened the half closed door.
And before she could even react, the bucket kept above the door inverted and cold water drained itself on her.
Khushi was completely drenched from head to toe with that cold water.
The tray had fallen to the floor and the only voice now was that of Arnav who was laughing his ass off.
---End of flashback----
Khushi: I am so going to get back at you mister
She took out her gun again. She recalled as to how NK had helped her for this prank.
----Flashback----
NK: Khushiji, this is a water gun. It looks exactly like a real gun. Even the guy on the road got scared when I pointed it at him. This idea is just perfect. Fill Water and then aim at Arnav and shoot. He will be scared shitless.
Khushi jumped with joy at the news as she finally could get back at Arnav for the Bucket incident as the people of Shantivan referred to it.
Arnav had made her the laughing stock of the week.
Now it was Arnav's turn to be laughed at.
Khushi gave a wide smile.
----End of flashback----
Khushi took out the gun. It was quite heavy.
Khushi (thinking): It's a whole lot of water to at least ruin his white shirt.
She just left everything else and proceeded to where Arnav was.
Khushi: ARNAV. I have had enough.
Arnav turned around surprised.
Arnav: Excuse me?
Khushi: You heard me.
Khushi then pulled out her gun and pointed it straight at Arnav.
Arnav: Khushi, what the heck are you trying to do? Put that gun down.
Khushi: NO I WON'T. You listen here Raizada, I have had it with you teasing me and making my life miserable with your little pranks.
Arnav: Khushi, you have a dammed gun in your hand. Do you want to kill me?
Khushi: Yes. That is exactly what I want. REVENGE.
And khushi pulled the trigger,
BOOM.
There was a shot. And the bullet shelling bounced and fell onto the ground.
Khushi's was completely horrified and then she looked at a vision that made her heart stop beating and all life escape her.
There was blood on Arnav's shirt that was quickly spreading throughout the shirt. The gun fell from khushi's hand to the floor as she moved fast to catch Arnav's body before he hit the ground.
Khushi did manage to catch him.
Khushi: Arnav, please don't leave me. I had a toy water gun. I don't know how it got changed into a real gun. Arnav, please don't leave me.
Arnav was writhing in agony and khushi could see him dying in front of her. Her hands were now completely red. Khushi now cried out a plea of help in total despair.
Khushi: Arnav, please don't leave me. I cant live without you.
Arnav: I love you Khushi.
And suddenly Arnav's whole body shuddered and then he became completely still.
Arnav had stopped breathing.
Khushi went into a panic induced state. She got up and took the gun again. Pointed it at herself and pulled the trigger multiple times.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
One bullet shell after another hit the floor.
Khushi looked at the region she had taken a shot. Nothing had changed. The bullet shells had come out but where in the world was the bullet?
She then looked at Arnav who was now standing and throwing his head back and laughing like never before.
Khushi looked at him confused.
Arnav: That isn't a real gun khushi. It's a movie prop. It's the same type of guns that they use in your Salman khan movies. Just better. They sound like guns, have those fake bullet shells and everything. And the second u pull that trigger a packet of blood explodes from inside my suit, it creates the illusion of a real gunfight.
And arnav laughed again. Khushi just saw him laugh and now her anger built up and she ran forward and brought his lips crashing own on hers. She was literally eating Arnav's face off.
By the time she was done Arnav's and her lips were completely swollen. Arnav had a dazed look whereas Khushi still had an anger look on herself.
Arnav: I never expected you to take your own life.
Khushi: I cant live without you Arnav. Not even for a single second. You were the one who said that our hearts beat as one. So if yours stops, so shall mine.
Arnav had tears in his eyes and he crushed her lips with his again. Their lips were screaming in pain with the amount of pressure the pair of them were applying.
When they finally broke off, Arnav had a wide smirk on his face.
Khushi: Why the smirk Raizada?
Arnav: I thought you'd kill me when I played this one jaan. And I got such a sexy kiss in its stead. I think I can do such pranks again if these lovely kisses are the punishment.
Khushi blushed but her former self was coming back.
Khushi: Oh don't worry Raizada; I do have a punishment for you.
-----------------
When the family returned and opened the door to Shantivan, the sight that welcomed them made their jaws drop, some in horror, and some in astonishment and some in amusement.
Arnav was running around the house frantically shouting "I love you"s and "you can't do this to me jaan. I am your husband" to a Khushi who was running right behind him with a broom in her hand ready to whack the crap out of Arnav.
Lesson that Arnav learnt: No one messes with The Female Raizadas.
