Chapter 6

Arnav was curiously walking up the stairs when he bumped into someone.
"Ufff" came the voice of the person.
There stood NK rubbing his head with his palm whilst giving Arnav a weird.
"Watch where you're going" Arnav said, turned around and started to walk away. NK, having nothing better to do just started walking behind Arnav.
"Stop following me" Arnav ordered NK without turning back.
"Nannav mere bhai, tum hamesha khoosa (shoe) kyun rehte ho" questioned NK trying to make up a conversation, still walking right behind Arnav.
"Khoosa nahi..." Arnav was about to correct his irratating cousin whilst opening the terrace door but stopped as the scene in front of him made him freeze. There stood his jeejaji with a totally twisted face and red eyes and blabbering something. First Arnav thoight that all his jeejaji's work is taking a toll on him and he has finally lost it. However as the something he was blabbering started to sink into Arnav's mind, various emotions flicked across his face. First shock, disbeleive, feeling of betrayal and finally the most common one, rage. But this rage wasn't the usual one, this one was dangerous. It would burn the person on the receiving end. Anybody standing near Arnav at this moment would be able to feel heat generating from his body as his upper teeth crushed the lower ones and his body started shivering with rage like it was about to errupt.
**************
When NK was waiting for his cousin to correct him, he again bumped into somebody and looked up to see his cousin standing frozen at the terrace door. NK stood on his toes to have a look at what made his cousin stop abbruptly. What he saw made him act like a statue as well. There was his jeeju acting like an emotionally tortured person but the worse part was what he was saying. He heard what Shyaam was saying "Khushiji I knew you'd come! I knew it! I love you Khushiji, more than anyone can ever! I'll leave Rani Sahiba forever for you! We'll be together". As the words started to make sense, the first thing he did was look at his boiling cousin.
As Arnav stepped ahead to strangle this traitor, he was stopped by a hand holding his shoulder.
"Not now Nannav, we have to get everything clear for now, plus we can't ruin Akash's special day" said NK intelligently.
Arnav somehow controlled himself, NK was right, he had to get the facts right first. However, Arnav couldn't stand there any longer so he turned on his heels and walked away. NK, however remained calm with his inside itching to strangle the person in front of him and thought straight, he got out his camera he had been carrying since the last few days and recorded whatever would be needed later.
*****************
Arnav walked down the stairs fuming, the creep's words kept repeating themselves in his mind. How can that bast**d betray us and how dare he betray his sister, how dare he lay his eyes upon Khushi...Wait, Khushi, that's it! He had to ask Khushi about all this, she might know something and so Arnav walked towards the living room.
****************
Khushi was standing with everyone wating for the couple to enter the house. Suddenly a hand grabbed her arm and softly took her to the pool side.
She looked up to see Arnav staring at Khushi with frustration and distress in his eyes. She was confused and worried because of what she saw in his eyes.
"Khushi, I need to ask you something" said Arnav with urgency in his tone.
"What is it Arnavji?" Asked Khushi
"Tell me everything you know about Shyaam" asked Arnav totally shocking Khushi. Khushi looked up at Arnav with shock written on her face, she couldn't believe that Arnav waa talking about Shyaam. What did he know, did he misunderstand her? All the thoughts came rushing in her mind.
"Arnavji what happened...why are you...?" Arnav cut her in between and said "Plz tell me, do you know Shyaam from before?" Arnav asked desperately. Maybe this was the time to tell him everything thought Khushi. Khushi told Arnav everything from Shyaam saving her from the goons in Lucknow till the sangeet incident. It wasn't surprising that Arnav beleived her after all, he had learnt that from his past experiences, how Khushi was? Arnav's anger knew no limits now, first he played with his di's life and now that snake wanted to destroy his Khushi's life too.
"But Arnavji what happened?" Asked Khushi curious as to why Arnav wanted to know everything about Shyaam.
Arnav started narrating the whole terrace incident to Khushi. Khushi had her eyes wide in shock after hearing all that.
"Truest me, Arnavji, I haven't done anything...Shyaamji deceived us..." Khushi had just started defending herself she was stopped by Arnav.
"Ssshhh...sshhh...I know Khushi, I trust you" said Arnav reassuring Khushi. Khushi was overwhemlemed at his cofession. Her eyes started filling woth tears and a drop fell down. Arnav immediately wiped that one drop and leaned onto Khushi and kissed her forehead.
"Trust me Khushi, I won't let anything happen to you" Arnav spoke out his thoughts.
"I trust you, Arnavji" came Khushi's straight reply and Arnav leaned his forehead and touched hers. Both stood there like that, with eachother and trust was lingering in the air with...love!

Chapter 7

Unfortunately, it was time to go now for the Guptas. The Gupta ladies were crying rivers. The Raizada house would soon be flooded was the first thought that would come to someone's mind if they saw this scene.
"Amma, Khushi I'll miss you so much, babuji and buaji you too. Take care of yourself" said Payal while sobbing and Akash was hugging her, trying to comfort her. Now, his Kurta was wet for a very different reason.
"Jeeji take care, Akash jiju take care of her" Khushi was instructing the newly married couple while sobbing.
**********************
NK had joined Arnav and Khushi at the poolside some time later. He had told Arnav and Khushi about recording Shyaam's confession. All three of them had decided not to tell the family yet and deal with Shyaam all alone. They decided that they would tell the family when their personal revenge was over. Now this was their fun time and Shyaam's time to suffer.
**********************
The Guptas were just about to go when Arnav pulled Khushi out of the crying group and took her to a corner. He put his arms on the wall and trapped Khushi in between.
Khushi was all the while looking down and there was a tint of red on her cheeks and wetness because of all the crying.
Arnav slowly wiped the tears off her cheeks and using his finger, he lifted her chin. Her hazel eyes met his chocolatey ones and that's it, she drowned in them. Shyaam, Payal, bidaiyaa, crying and every other thing was forgotten and now only they both existed.
Arnav slowly leaned in towards Khushi's lips, this was the moment all the arshians and arshi themselves were waiting for...their lips started closing the distance...more closer...more closer...just an inch away...and...*cough* *cough*.
"WHAT DA F*CK!!!" Arnav's mind shouted.
The beautiful moment was over.
Arnav suddenly felt like the dumbest person one Earth for thinking that he can complete a kiss in The RAIZADA Mansion. He felt stupid for thinking he could even share a kiss with Khushi among people who were famous for their interruptions.
Forget the honeymoon plan, for now he had to take Khushi out of the house even for a flipping kiss.
URGHHH, in a second all the arshian's and arshi's dreams were crushed.
Embarrassed at getting caught, both turned around to witness a closed-eyes Anjali with the biggest smile they had seen in along time.
The embarrassment was out of the window now as both Arnav and Khushi felt sad all of a sudden. This amazing lady, who was abandoned by her uncle at a young age, chucked out on the streets with her younger brother, handled all the house work at a young age, had a broken marriage was now staying with a traitor, a snake. A man who was deceiving her badly. The person she worshipped was a bast*rd.
Forget her, no one deserved this kinda life but one of the nicest person got it.
Life was so unfair sometimes but you can only prove yourself worth living if you can find your way around the ups and downs.
This was the time, the couple, silently vowed to themselves to make that creep suffer. Actually, creep was a word too good for him. He was a flipping dog, the unfaithful one.
"Khushiji, your family was calling going so I thought of...ummm...calling you" Anjali slowly spoke, cursing herself for ruining her brother's chance at romance. Saying so, she walked away, hitting her palm on her forehead.
*******************
Shyaam had practiced that one line for a hundredth time now. He was now impatiently waiting for Khushiji to arrive so his acting can be put to test.
Twenty minutes had passed since he had sent the letter to Khushi but she wasn't here yet. Little did Shyaam know that the letter was read by the wrong person or I should say the right person. This Shyaami Harami's happy days were over.
******************
Arnav had brought Khushi here to remind her about their and NK's meeting tomorrow. Yes, that's right, they had a meeting to decide their first step towards the 'Destroy the Shyaami Harami' path. When their journey ends, that snake's end would come as well.
However, they got so dissolved in each that they forgot about their mission.
A slightly red Khushi started to run away from Arnav but stopped a little away as she heard him call her.
"Khushi" she blushed hearing his husky voice. He walked towards her and stopped right behind her, he continued "don't forget about the meeting tomorrow and..." She waited for him to continue.
Their proximity was effecting Khushi's senses in all ways "...thanks for...flooding my house" said Arnav and walked away smiling a little leaving her smiling like a goofy until the words sank in. Her expressions instantly changed and now her mouth was hanging open and her eyes were wide. She huffed and puffed and finally after giving a small smile to herself, she walked away joining rest of the Guptas and left for home.
Arnav was lying down on his bed whilst thinking of everything that happened today. He was enraged by Shyaam but was also happy that the truth came out and he was loving the fact that Khushi trusted him and didn't even protested when he was about to kiss her. This only pointed towards one thing.
Doing a little dance in his mind off course, Arnav went to his mental checklist again, this time ticking another thing off.
