Chapter 4
Khushi was multi-tasking in the bathroom; taking a shower and stressing her mind out. Thinking about Arnavji, their failed marriage, his rude behaviour, their future...that's what she dreaded the most to think about, their future. By the way things were right now, she could just see a dead end for them. No happiness, no brightness, no family, Nothing! Turning away from these horrifying thoughts that only worried her more, she let the cold water calm her nerves and wash away her worries, even if it was for a very little time.
She massaged the shampoo in her long, silky tresses and rubbed the puff with the shower gel on her soft skin, enhancing it's fragrance. It was surely a good decision to take a bath early in the morning, it surely freshened her and energized her.
*****************
However, on the other side of the door, in the room, the situation was totally opposite. There was no refreshing or calming down going on here, instead, Arnav was just getting more agitated by each passing second. How Dare She! She! Who just came to his house yesterday has already started bossing him around! How.Bloody.Dare.She!!! He couldn't believe he let her do this. She had to be taught a lesson to stay in her limits from now on. But How?
*****************
Maybe, the way to make this marriage work would be to him that she wasn't just anyone who he could treat as some roadside shit! She had to make them both even in this relationship first for it to work out. Khushi was happy at her method. She would have to go with this cuz for now, this was the only solution she had. After thinking a lot about their and their marriage's future, Khushi had reached a sensible conclusion; she had to make this marriage work. She couldn't afford to let her mother down. The mother who had raised her to this position where she had education, had gotten whatever she wanted, had manners and every other thing that was a must in a girl. She couldn't let this life which was given to her from her mother, causing her a lot of hardwork, just go down the drain. She will stand up for herself and make sure to try her hardest to make this marriage work! By the time Khushi had finished with her thoughts, she had finished with the shower as well. Determined, Khushi walked towards the door-hangers to get the towel she must have hung there when she came in. Khushi's eyes popped out of their sockets when she looked at hangers above the door, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE!!! Khushi looked around in horror as the realisation of not bringing anything with her dawned upon her. Khushi stood rooted to her place with fear enveloping her till her roots. Slowly, the fear started vanishing and panic settled in. Her mind raced speeded at a thousand thoughts per minute! What would she do now? Who would she ask for help? Was anyone out there? If he was there, would he help her? What if he doesn't? Is she gonna be stuck here forever? WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO?!?!? Suddenly, an idea popped up in Khushi's mind. She wildly roamed her gaze around the huge bathroom and stopped when it finally landed on her used clothes dumped on the floor. NOOO, she can't even where them for TWo reasons and not even one:
1) Her used clothes were on the BATHROOM FLOOR for goodness sake!!!
2) She was drenched from head to toe!!! She can't wear anything like this!!!
Finally, gathering some courage, she clicked the door open a little which caught Arnav's attention. Khushi timidly peeped her head through the little gap. Before, she could even start talking, she saw Arnav get up and walk towards the door mumbling something like getting late for office and people these days. In horror of him entering in when she was fully naked, she slammed the door right at his face. OKAY!!! This was THE Limit!!! How Dare She shut the door on his face, HIS face to be more precise!!!
"WHAT DA F*CK!!!" Escaped his mouth before he could even stop himself.
"Open the f*cking door!!! What da f*ck are you trynna do?!?!" Arnav spoke with gritted teeth.
"Uh...woh...can you please...woh pass me a... towel... and...and... my clothes from outside?" Khushi stuttered from the other side of the door. Arnav's angry expressions changed into a mean, evil smirk in just a few seconds. This is the time to teach her to stay in her limits! "Why should I?" Arnav crossed his arms across his chest and smirked.
"Ummm...cuz I...I forgot them" Khushi stuttered unsurely. All her determination and confidence was forgotten now. She was at his mercy right now.
"So?" Arnav coldly replied.
"So...can you please pass me them from my bag" Khushi said in a pleading tone.
Arnav stood there for a minute, thinking and then strode towards her bag and got the first suit he found and the towel that was on top of the suit case. He then again walked towards the bathroom slowly, taking his own time. After reaching the door that separated the bathroom and the bedroom, he knocked on it.
A little later, the door creaked open and Khushi popped her head out from the little gap. For once Arnav couldn't take his eyes off her face. She looked so sexy with water dripping from her carelessly hanging hair to her soft face. Her eyes were standing out because of the water on the eye lashes with just made them look heavier and darker. The droplets were travelling down from her aquiline nose to her soft, plumped up inviting lips.
Arnav was brought out of the enchantment by her handing rushing out of the gap towards the towel and her clothes before Arnav jerked his hand back which was holding her clothes and the towel. Khushi shot Arnav a worried-slash-questioning look, her eyes darting between his hand and his face.
"Oh, wait, wait! How can Khushi Kumari Gupta, right...?" Arnav questioned her just to make sure he was saying her name correctly. She gave him a quick nod, her eyes still worriedly looking at his face.
"Yeah...so how can you forget this? Aren't you the one who was answering me back, showing how smart you are then how can you make such a clumsy mistake?" Arnav finished with a fake-questioning look with a mean glint in his eyes.
"I...I...I.." Khushi nervously stuttered. She didn't know that her answering back to him which he surely deserved, would land her into this.
"What...what do you want?" Khushi composed herself and asked, mustering up some confidence.
"Apologize" Arnav demanded, coming straight to the point in his no-nonsense attitude.
"But I didn't do anything to apologize for" Khushi defended herself. Why should she say sorry to this...this...Laad Governer! Yeah, that's what he always behaved like. Laad Governer!
"You did. Apologize for back answering me today, for making me wait. Apologize" Arnav said in a steely tone but you could hear a hint of meaness and joy in their aswell. The joy was off course for finding Khushi in such a situation and being able to get his revenge.
"But..." Khushi hopelessly started again when he stepped closer making her eyes go wide and the gap getting even smaller. Knowing that he wouldn't give up so easily, or maybe at all Khushi started.
"I'm sorry" Khushi said slowly, tears were gathering at the back of her at not doing any mistake but still having to apologize, at having to bow down when she was right, at her husband making her so vulnerable, at herself for making a mistake which she had to rectify like this and finally at having her hopes getting crushed just after a few moments of them getting made.
"Unh Unh" Arnav said shaking his head.
"Not once. After what you did now, not once" Arnav said with the smirk still in place.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..." Khushi started as a tear dropped down followed by another one and then another. Arnav was a little shocked at this. He was just trying to show her who the boss is but he didn't expect this reaction. The worst part was that, he was having this new kind of feeling creep in him. Something that was a mixture of guilt, regret and care. Arnav wanted to shove that feeling aside but he couldn't after looking at her vulnerable state. Without waiting another second, Arnav shoved the clothes and the towel through the little gap and waited for her to take it. Khushi stopped her 'sorry' chanting and looked at her stuff which he had shoved through the gap before she meekly took it, surprised by the fact that he didn't take anymore advantage of the situation. In fact, he took less advantage than she had expected him to.
When he felt like she had taken hold of the clothes, he pulled his arm to himself, turned, and walked straight out of the room and away from those feelings. Little did he know, those kinda feelings can't just be left behind. They stay in your heart, forever.
