Chapter 36
Arnav was torn. On one hand his sister was with a sly cheat and on the other hand his wife was suffering because of his sister and husband. He watched Khushi, her eyes fixated on the ceiling, her face stained with tears. He gently wiped her face, Khushi was broken out of her trance.
"Arnavji" Khushi whispered.
"Yes Khushi?" Arnav said.
"I can't see Anjaliji like this.. being with Shyamji.." A new tear left Khushi's eye.
Arnav immediately wiped the tear, he held her hand tight.
"Khushi you can't stress about Di, right now YOU have to take care of our soon to be child" Arnav smiled. Khushi smiled slightly looking at her flat stomach.
"I will take care of Di.. and him.." Arnav's eyes turned cold.
"Arnavji.." Khushi said.
"Yes Khushi?" Arnav smiled.
"Im hungry" Khushi grinned.
Arnav frowned, Khushi narrowed her eyes at her stomach, Arnav sighed going to the kitchen.
Nani, Mami and NK were gathered in Nani's room. Nani was a mess, she was worried about Khushi and Anjali.
"What is happening in our family.." Nani muttered her eyes filled with worry.
"Hello hi bye bye, Arnav bitwa is saying one thing yet Anjali bitya the other!"
"I believe Khushiji, she never lies" NK said.
Nani nodded "Yes I believe Khushi bitya too but Anjali bitya.. She is standing by that horrible soul!"
"Don't worry Nani" Arnav walked in. "I will sort out everything" Arnav crouched infront of Nani resting his hand on her lap.
Nan smiled stroking Arnav's face.
"Wow Nanav!" NK exclaimed. "Is this all for me?!" NK smiled happily at the plate filled with food.
"No idiot, it's for Khushi" Arnav rolled his eyes.
NK pouted reaching for the food.
"No NK" Arnav ordered. NK immediately retreated his hand.
" I better go now but Nani don't worry okay? I'll fix everything" Arnav promised.
Nani nodded and smiled.
"What's taking Arnavji so long" Khushi moaned, her stomach growled.
Khushi laughed placing one hand on her stomach "Don't worry baby soon you will be fed."
Arnav smiled seeing Khushi smile talking to their soon to be child, he walked in.
"There is your useless daddy!" Khushi grinned.
"Useless?" Arnav raised his eyebrows. "I got you all of your favorite foods! I will give it to NK then" Arnav started to walk out.
"No no no! Baby.. here is your daddy, the best daddy in the world!" Khushi exclaimed.
Arnav smiled sitting next to Khushi on the bed.
Arnav took a jalebi and started to feed Khushi, her eyes lit up. That was all Arnav wanted, to see his wife smile and her eyes shining.
'Very soon all your worries will be gone Khushi, I promise' Arnav thought to his self.
During the night Khushi kept on tossing and turning, she couldn't sleep. She sat up and saw Arnav sleeping peacefully, his arm around Khushi's waist. Carefully Khushi slipped out of Arnav's grasp sitting on the recliner. She rested her head and shut her eyes.
"No Khushiji! You do want to ruin this family! You don't want to protect me! You want to break the bond me and Chotte have!" Anjali's words echoed in Khushi's mind. She clutched her dupatta tightly, how could Anjali say this to her? Khushi walked to the poolside and stared at her reflection in the pool.
"Am I a bad person?" She whispered to her self.
It was early morning, Arnav's eyes fluttered open and expected to see a beautiful princess laying down next to him. Instead there was no one. Arnav quickly sat up and looked around him, no Khushi. He rushed to the poolside, No Khushi. He ran downstairs and into the kitchen. He saw Khushi there. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course I would find you in the kitchen" He grinned.
"Very funny Laad Governor" Khushi said, her back still turned. "Go and freshen up, I'm making breakfast" Khushi quickly said.
Arnav nodded going back upstairs.
All the family was sat down on the dining table, Shyam held Anjali's hand sitting her down next to him. Khushi and Haiprakash placed the food down on the table.
"Khushi bitya, you shouldn't be working!" Nani said.
"It's fine Naniji" Khushi smiled.
Nani looked at Khushi worriedly, "Khushi bitya you look very tired! Didn't you sleep?"
Arnav was very worried yet maybe he should take hold of this opportunity to wind Shyam up.
"Actually Nani, it was my fault that Khushi didn't sleep.." Arnav paused.
"Why Nanav what did you do?" NK asked.
"NK!" Arnav scolded.
NK jumped scared of Arnav's outburst.
"What did I say Nanav?!"
"It's something I can't say infront of older people.."
Khushi dropped the cup of water, embarrassed.
NK grinned "Nanav you cheeky boy!"
Shyam stared at Khushi angrily, his hands turned into fists, Anjali saw Shyam getting angry.
"What are you saying Arnavji?!" Khushi blushed furiously.
Arnav stood up strolling towards Khushi, "Relax Khushi everyone knows how much I love you" Arnav smiled kissing Khushi on the cheek.
"THATS ENOUGH!" Shyam yelled.
Everyone stared at Shyam, he was shaking with anger, his eyes on Khushi and Arnav.
Will Shyam break under romance? Or will it take more to get under his skin? Find out sooon! 😃 Maybe tomorrow..
