NK's memories

and THE PAST..

flashback..continues

He reached Mahabaleswar. He couldn't know where to find her, but thanks to the tracker.

It was new in India at that time and many didn't know the use. He had spent his childhood in U.S. and after his mother's death, he and his father came back.

NK stopped the jeep.

He checked and tried to locate.

NK said to himself: She is in the arid region. Locality I suppose. Near water body.

This was Lavanya's last call.

The call..

He was feeling bolt in blue..on what he heard and understood

Have patience..continue

****

Again back to present

sorry for the juggling of PAST and PRESENT..

But..you know..fillers can't be entertaining but this filler was unavoidable and was quite needed for the progress of the story..and here is our Miss Dynamite Khushi Gupta..

The first word came out of her mouth.."WHAT THE?"

He smirked seeing her condition. Her face was giving a "huh" expression. And he really liked when Khushi was not in her firm and stable condition. May it be confusion or anger. But he didn't like her tears.

Though it was very filmy, yet it was very true..

"Pushpaa, I hate tears"

(bollywood film Amar Prem)

Aradhana used these words for Di always, whenever Anjali cried or felt low and was about to cry, and in an instant Anjali would be laughing. But Arnav got irked with that dialogue.

But somehow he couldn't hate this filmy dialogue any more since last night.

Arnav with his taunting tone: will you continue taking your sunbath or sit in the car?

Khushi was no less: What? Rubbish. What are you doing here?

Arnav: Why? Didn't Di tell you?

Khushi: tell me what?

Arnav: that I will drop you to Shantivan.

Khushi: no..she never spelt a word.

Arnav: hmm..may be.

Khushi: She said someone else will pick me up.

Arnav's POV

Di must have told her about Akash. That's why..he called me to inform to pick up Khushi.

Arnav: oh..yeah. Akash.

Khushi's POV

Ohh..phew..thank God..So Akash's nickname is Chotte. Phew!! I got so afraid!! How could that be this Laad Gaavarnar? Just let me get into the car and get to Shantivan. He is the chauffer! That's all. Simple thinking!

Still now..chotte mystery was unsolved..but now see..this was a good misunderstanding!!

Well sometimes misunderstandings are good..else do you think Khushi would have gone to live in Shantivan to live with Chotte aka ASR..her Mr. Angry Shitty Rude !!??!!

She tried to remain silent..but was feeling bored with that Laad Gaavarnar.

She asked him to play some music..but no

After he was Mr.Arrogant Stupid Raizada.

Girls..you will come across many new names of ASR !!

Name alters with the mood!!

****

Baaack to past..

Sorry.. can't help it..

But as you know "past" in my story is a necessary evil.

Lav: I couldn't..

NK: what?

He was tensed..and her sudden call..the words..increased his tension !!

But his thoughts were snapped..

Lav: I am sorry. I love you. I love you. Please forgive me..ee..aa..ah..aa..

And the phone got disconnected.

He tried several times. It was unreachable.

The phone couldn't be tracked anymore.

The last location was the waterbody.

NK: but how is that possible? She was not flying over it. OH no.. No Lav..no..no..

He searched her with futile attempts.

But he didn't leave any hope.

Four hours had passed. Still there had been no sign of her.

****

Arohi left Arjun to perform the operation. Being a doctor was not that easy. She always had to keep in her mind "Duty First". Personal life could be given scope only after her duty. She like other doctors has taken oath to save mankind and do welfare for and of the people. A doctor has one of the biggest responsibilities. In her eyes Dr. Mallika Singh was an ideal doctor, who devoted her life for the people.

Sorry for the lecture..!!

Unavoidable Circumstances!!

But everyone has flaw. And there is no such thing called Ideal. But what will she do when the actual face of Dr. Mallika will come infront of her? How will she react? Stay tuned for the treacherous exposure !!

****

Khushi's POV

Wish Chotte had come to take me..instead of this khaddoos. Uff.. How long is Shantivan?

When wil I reach there?

Who lives there?

Should I ask him?

No..he will scream..or misbehave.

No way I am gonna talk to him.

Just once had I asked him to play some music..but uff..

What attitude..!!

How did he said the NO!!!

Uff..

As if I had asked him to do a striptease in front of his mother-in-law!!

Arnav screeched and halted..

Arnav: what the?

Khushi got alerted.

She was thinking and how could he hear her?

He is no Edward Cullen to hear thoughts.

Khushi mustered up some courage and shoot back with the same attitude: What the? Why did you stop the car?

Arnav: Shantivan.

Khushi: I know I am going Shantivan.

Arnav: Ms. Khushi Gupta..you had been nodding your head for last fifteen minutes and was mumbling to yourself. That's damn pissing off.

Khushi: my head..why can I nod only for fifteen minutes? I can nod for fifteen hours!! And yes keep mumbling along with that. Any problem?

Arnav didn't reply..to what she said

Instead he shouted: get out.

Khushi was startled at first with this behaviour.

But she controlled herself. She didn't want to spoil her mood now. She has already reached Shantivan and she will be in peace.

Another car reached soon.

Anjali got down from Rahul's car and saw both of them sitting in the car..looking or better glaring at each other and there was pin drop silence.

Anjali: CHOTTE ? Khushiji?

Khushi felt like tsunami, tornado, cyclone, hurricane, earthquake and every possible natural disaster happened!!

Khushi fainted..!!

I know..this was not expected!! But Patience my dear girls..patience!!

****

Lavanya Kashyap was only and only NK's lover..she hated Shyam.

Shyam loved Lavanya. But didn't marry her. He married the one who was working in Arnav's AR Group.

Hey..feeling CONFUSED??

read on to know..!!

****

scroll down for next chapter..but HIT the LIKE button..first and then scroll down..

Their last meet before that horrible day.

Flashback

He met her after her show.

At the backstage.

NK and Lavanya hugged each other. He kissed her forehead. Her cheeks. He was about to kiss her lips.

Lavanya: NK..

NK: what?

Lavanya: not now..

NK: why? You are my love..my life. Don't you trust me?

Lavanya: I trust you..I love you.

NK: I love you. You love me. Then?

Lavanya: mamma papa still doesn't know..and..and

NK: I got it. Ok..!!

He took her hand and kissed on her hand.

Lavanya: when will you tell them NK ? I am waiting desperately for that day. It will be my best day of my life.

NK: darling..just 3 more months..and I will become a doctor. Let all this complete.

Lavanya: then..pakka promise you will tell them?

NK: yes. But you also promise me one thing.

Lav: what?

NK: after I become established..you will leave all this modeling.

Lav: but?

NK: no..ifs and buts. The main thing is that don't work under Mr. Jha anymore. I know Mr. Manohar is good..but Shyam is intolerable.

Lav: I know. He doesn't live here. He came for a week.

NK: but what happened that day? If I was not here, then?

Lav: you will always be my side. But yes. Thank god, you came that day. Otherwise god knows what would he have done.

NK: Lavanya, be careful about Shyam. That is why I am worried.

Lav: Darling I am already careful. See..I am carrying mirchi powder.

NK: take this. This is Chloroform spray. You can use on him. A better option. But be careful, don't smell it hard. You will faint.

Lav: yes Doctor. She pecked on his cheeks.

They were strolling in the garden.

NK: when are you leaving?

Lav: tomorrow morning. My first ad shoot and I am so elated !

NK: and that too of FROOTI. Baby girl.

Lav: Come on. I am seventeen. A week more and I will be eligible for marriage.

NK: Lav I won't be able to resist if you don't stop pouting your lips.

Lav: why? What would you do?

NK pulled her and kissed her hard, bit her lips and when Lav moaned he penetrated his tongue and got access to her full mouth. It was their first kiss. When he let her loose, both were heavily breathing. Lav's lips were swollen and red. She had sweat all over face..her full face was flushed..and she looked beautiful. NK caught her as she was about to fall and was planning to kiss her again and both of them saw a flash and heard a camera clicked and saw a shadow moved away from there. It was Shyam.

Lav started crying. NK tried to console her. She hugged him and continued crying.

NK: chill baby. I am here. Nothing will happen. Have faith on me.

Lav gave him a bone-crashing hug and left.

NK was worried. He wanted to accompany her. She is not safe..and that Shyam is a psychic. He can go to any extent to get her.

NK's cell rang..

Karan calling.. ..

Karan: hey remember it?

NK: what?

Karan: tomorrow I want to meet you to my fiance.

NK: sorry dude, I need to go somewhere. Some other day.

Karan: this is cheating. Amrita is telling that she will be going tomorrow. When you guys will have time? You behave as if you two are in an illegible affair.

NK: that's illegitimate..dumbo! The word should have been illicit.

Karan: yeah..yeah. You Hindi and my English, both needs correction!

NK: whatever, meet you next week.

Karan: ok.

Girls..check Karan's fiance..!! hint..hint..!!

NK hanged the call.

How can one girl fall for such a simpleton?

****

Back to Arshi Land girls'

Khushi had fainted..!!

Arnav was tensed. What happened to this girl now, he thought.

Anjali too was tensed.

She was carried by Arnav and taken to the guest room. She was laid down to bed. All the family members gathered there.

Arnav took the glass of water from Anjali and sprinkled some water on Khushi's face.

But as soon as she regained her consciousness..

Khushi screamed out: WhaaaT ??? you are Chotte?

All of them present there immediately turned to silent mode..

Khushi was having a confused look and Arnav was giving a death glare on the disclosure of his NICKNAME !! and that too in front of Khushi.

Khushi: I am not going to live here with this khaddoos.

That was enough for Arnav to lose his temper.

He had long tolerated this girl.

Arnav: SHUT UP.

Khushi had never seen this hell-angry mode of ASR.

She had seen him irritated, she had seen him flirting, she had also seen him in admiration..but anger?

And that too so dangerous??

No..she never have had any experience.

She gave in.

Her eyes were watery..She was in her tears..big fat tears were dropping from her eyes.

Arnav's such blaspheming temper was known in the Raizada household and everyone who was acquainted with him was habituated with this.

But Khushi had never faced such thing in her life.

Arnav was a ruthless one but he too had a heart..and seeing Khushi's tears he felt as if her hot wet tears were like hot daggers that stabbed his heart and rip apart.

Arnav sat at the edge of the bed, keeping a distance from Khushi.

Meanwhile,Anjali had started calculating as she knew it very well that she and mainly Aradhana will be the next ones to face Arnav's wrath.

Anjali's POV

Khushi ji's turn is over. Seeing her tears he stopped and he softened.

But what will he do to me?

I can emotionally torture him like Khushiji did unknowingly.

But what about Annu?

She is going to get in a mess today. Her mood will be spoiled in a damn way.

But what will I do with this boy?

Ohh..god.

He is really a khaddoos.

I don't know how to change his mood and temper.

Annu..ohh..no she as well as Arohi is busy shopping. None of them will pick up the phone now.

Whom will I consult now for that?

Yes, Nani.

Anjali looked at her side. None of the family members were there after seeing Arnav's such perilous mood. Anjali sneaked out leaving Arnav and Khushi alone in the room.

Arnav tried to calm the situation.

But he didn't know how to pacify her and make her stop crying.

She is not Aradhana that chocolate will do.

Nor is she Anjali that he will hug her..

And today he felt as if never in his life he had faced such problem of soothing someone's pain.

He finally thought of lowering his voice and talking to her.

He need to talk with her.

She is his guest now.

Though to him..an unwanted one.

He tried to talk but she was so afraid that instead of getting normal she was more into tears.

He felt hopeless.
