Hey Guys!!

First of all, let me wish all my Muslim friends 'Eid Mubarak', I hope this eid brings in lots of Warmth, love and happiness to you and your family :)

Now for the update, sorry I did not get to send my usual PM after 5 updates...will do so tonight after posting this chapter...also like I said, I will be posting once a week now owing to a lot of work that i've been bogged down with...thanks for understanding!

So, enjoy Chapter 31!
Oh and pls note, that owing to the forum rules, all my mature chapters will now be put on my blog only...you can comment here, but I will be putting up the entire chapter on my blog if it has any serious mature content!

Love you all!!
xoxo



CHAPTER 31


"You know I have already taken down her statement right?...i don't understand why you want to talk to her now..as it is, she is very scared" detective Naik said as he paced in front of a cool looking Avinash who was browsing through some of the initial reports that were handed to him...he ignored the detective who kept ranting on about how it was not necessary to meet Sheetal and Monica and how they had already given their statements



"Enough Naik!" Avinash said in a slow but menacing voice...he got up to come and stand in front of him "This is a joint investigation now, so I suppose you know that I can interrogate anyone and everyone related or non-related to this case...so please refrain from giving me a lecture on what I should do and should not do, understand!" he said making Naik stop midway, his nostrils flaring in annoyance



"Plus I really don't think that Sheetal is any kind of a victim...yes, she saw the murder happen in front of her eyes...but as far as being scared is concerned...the woman was found frolicking and socializing around Various Night-clubs and page three parties since last few days...giving exaggerated comments to who ever asked her about the cold blooded murder.." he said as Naik stiffened



"Now, if you don't mind...I would like to proceed for my questioning and you can go back to your office...I still wonder why you are so against letting me speak to them that you had to come all the way from Churchgate to Bandra for discouraging me thus" he said as Naik got defensive "What are you trying to say huh?...don't you dare..." he started saying when Avinash kept a firm hand on his shoulder refraining him from saying anything further



"Careful Naik...I am your senior...don't try and mess with my investigation and do not make assumptions on my behalf...unlike you, I believe in giving everyone a fair chance" Avinash said before picking up his files and leaving a fuming Naik behind in his cabin.



...



"So! I really think that the murder was committed by Arnav and that Khushi together...for sure!" Sheetal said with a sultry smile at the handsome inspector in front of her...Avinash had been interrogating her since the past 15 minutes and was already having a headache talking to this woman who kept alternating between examining her deep red painted nails and batting her eyelashes at him



Avinash sighed as he got up and walked slowly around the table they were sitting at "So, you are saying with conviction that Arnav and Khushi are guilty...what made you think that?" Avinash asked humoring her as she pursed her lips "Umm...I think its because Arnav was jealous that i was with Arun and obviously that hurt his ego and Khushi...umm...well I suppose she just hated Arun anyways...so it makes perfect sense!" she said as Avinash took a deep breath



"Have you, by any chance spoken about these assumptions to anyone outside?" he asked her as she thought for a bit and shook her head "No...not really...I mean, the last thing i want is for Arnav to know that i'm on to him...he'll probably have me shot as well you know..." she said rolling her eyes as Avinash once again came and sat opposite her



"Ok...so Sheetal...I think you should know something...now remember this is very very confidential and i'm only telling you this because I would hate a beautiful woman like you to face any charges" he said empathetically as Sheetal's face went pale "Charges? Me? Why?" she asked him as he once again sighed deeply



"You see Sheetal...you are the only eye witness to what happened that day...no one is there to refute what you saw and the exact circumstances under which the murder happened" he said and stopped for a dramatic pause before continuing again "So, its actually your word against everyone else's...who is to say that you did not pull the trigger? After all the body was not the way it should be if he was shot directly at the door.." he said as Sheetal sat upright in her chair



"No...after i came out of the shock, i moved him a bit to see if he was still alive...I...I swear i did not do anything" she said as fear laced her voice "Sheetal..listen, its ok..." Avinash said as he carefully saw her worried face, now totally devoid of any color...just a few more words...he thought as he cleared his throat "No one is accusing you right now...but circumstances are not in your favor...especially because" he said as Sheetal suddenly looked up, biting her lips.



"What? Because of what?" she asked as Avinash looked down "Monica...she has told us of a woman who used to call Arun all the time...she suspects its that woman who had him killed...and..." he said as Sheetal nearly jumped out of her seat and took the bait "Is she accusing me? That B***h!" Sheetal said as Avinash made her sit back "Calm down Sheetal...she has not explicitly taken your name...but has hinted around it" he said as Sheetal shook her head vigorously



"I can't believe this! That W***e...what does she think of herself huh! I am very sure it was she only who had him killed...Arun used to tell me about her promiscuous ways...she is a bitch of the first degree...did you know her eye was always on Arun's property? But due to the pre-nup they signed, she would't have gotten a penny if they divorced...No wonder she had him killed!...I just know it was her who had him shot!" she said getting up and pacing the room...completely un aware of a small smile playing on Avinash's lips



...



Khushi crept in slowly through her mother's bedroom door to find her propped on the bed with her eyes closed…her bandaged arm was laying on a soft pillow on her side as she rested against the cushioned headboard. She smiled softly as she walked towards her with the cup of green tea and gently nudged her on her shoulder


"Mamma…tea?" she asked as Garima smiled and opened her eyes to watch khushi blow on the hot mint and ginger tea and hold it to Garima's lips… "Babu…it's only a sprain…I don't understand why you are not letting me move at all!" Garima said with a fond smile as she lifted her other hand and took it from her



" I know mamma…but I worry…we leave you alone for three days and you end up breaking your arm" Khushi said as she climbed on the huge bed and sat next to her mother "Sprained…not broken!" Garima said as she chuckled at the annoyed look on Khushi's face



After Arnav had dropped her home around 4 in the morning, Khushi had come back to a very silent home…she had quickly glanced into her mother's room to find her sleeping awkwardly but had not thought much of it and had gone to sleep in her room, falling immediately into an exhausted sleep.



When she had woken up at around 8 in the morning, she had gone down to get some tea, only to see her mother sitting at the breakfast table with her hand in a sling…Garima had been very happy to see her daughter home after three days and had gotten up suddenly to hug her, only to wince in pain.



When Khushi had asked her in a terribly concerned voice, Garima had narrated the incident wherein she had slipped and sprained her left arm at the school last evening while leaving for home…the driver had helped her to the doctor's clinic where they had bandaged her hand and put her arm in a sling , she had to keep it on for a day or two for the sprain to get better.



Khushi had been beside her since then, refusing to leave her mother alone, even Laxamma could not convince Khushi to go to office or take some rest.



"Khushi, you should have gone to office...I am fine now…I can even move my hand properly…see" Garima said wincing as she moved her hand about "Mamma! Stop…I took a personal off today! Whats the big deal…even Arnav is fine with it" she said as she remembered the text she had sent him early morning…he had called her right away telling her to take the day off



"Ok baba…fine…but you should go and unpack now…Laxamma was cribbing about your still packed luggage" Garima said as Khushi got up and left for her room…Thanks to her hostel and then studying abroad, she was still not used to seeing her mom in any kind of physical pain and had panicked to see her such in the morning



She had just opened up her bag when her phone started ringing…she smiled looking at the name and heard Arnav's husky voice, making her go weak in the knees "Khushi? Is aunty better now?" he asked her as she sat down on her bed and sighed "Yes, she is much better now Arnav…and I'm so glad I stayed at home today…she is seriously such a child!" Khushi said as Arnav chuckled



"So that means you did not miss me at all!" Arnav said as Khushi giggled "Nope…not at all!" she said as she rolled on her bed…her open luggage abandoned "Liar…" he said as she closed her eyes and imagined being with him "Yes…I am a liar…I missed you a lot…and that's so crazy since I saw you less than 24 hrs ago" she said sitting up as she felt him smile into the phone



"Well in that case, I can't make you miss me longer" he said as Khushi narrowed her eyes "What do you mean?" she asked him as she heard someone knock on her door… "Hold on a minute Arnav…someone's at the door" she said as she scrambled off her bed and went to open the door to find Laxamma standing there with a smile "Mr Raizada is here to see your mamma" she said as Khushi looked on with shocked eyes



"He is?" she asked Laxamma who nodded at her, a gentle smile on her face… "You are?" Khushi asked arnav who was still on the phone with her "Yes…now come down and get me" he said as Khushi smiled brightly before walking out of her room…only to return back in a second to check her appearance..she grimaced as she saw her unwashed hair tied in a careless pony and her old comfy tracks and threadbare vest that she preferred to wear at home



Not having any time to change, she left her hair open before going down with Laxamma who stood observing her keenly "He is romba good looking" Laxamma said winking at her to which Khushi rolled her eyes "Ya, so?" she said as Laxamma nudged her "You are single…its time you find yourself a good boy..I'm just saying" the old woman said as Khushi blushed deeply



She was still wondering what made Laxamma say such a thing when Arnav's profile came into view…she sighed as she looked at him texting someone…he looked up as Khushi approached him and Laxamma went back into the kitchen to get something for the guest "Hi" Khushi said as Arnav glanced around to check if anyone was there…he came forwards and dropped a quick kiss on her forehead "Hi back!" he said as Khushi's eyes darted around the room



"Arnav! Not here…this house is full of spies!" she said as arnav gave her an amused look "Ok, then you tell me where?" he said winking at her as she hit him lightly on his arm "Shut up!" she said as he grinned at her "Khushi…how is aunty now? Can I come and meet her?" he asked with concern..the earlier playful mood now somber



Khushi smiled as she nodded and started walking him towards her mother room "She is better now Arnav…I know its not that big a deal…but It just scared me a bit…after the recent spate of bad things happening around me.." she said as arnav held her elbow to stop her "Don't say that Khushi…" he said as khushi held his hand "Its true Arnav…its like I'm Jinxed…the only thing going right for me is my work…and…you" she said honestly as Arnav squeezed her hand



As they reached Garima's room, Khushi knocked on her bedroom door before opening it slightly "Mamma…Arnav's here to see you" Khushi said as Garima straightened up while Arnav and Khushi walked towards her "Arnav…you here?" Garima asked surprised to which Arnav smiled "Yes, Khushi told me about your accident" he said as Garima gave Khushi a stern look



"He Bhagwan! Arnav, this girl will drive me mad! Its just a sprain beta…she has made this into such a huge thing…you came all the way to check up on me!" she said, now smiling at Arnav who shook his head "Not at all aunty, your house is on way to mine…I was just concerned, so I came to see you" he said as Garima turned towards Khushi



"Don't let him go without dinner…" she said to which Khushi nodded "Arnav…I will no take a no" she said as Arnav shook his head "No aunty,I'll have to take a rain check this time...My bua just got back from Vaishnov devi trip and since I stayed back in my apartment last night I still haven't met her…she will probably have my head if I don't get back" he said as Khushi pouted while Garima nodded understandingly



"Ok beta, but I will soon be calling you all for dinner here…ma was also saying that she had been meaning to call you all over since the venture happened" she said as Arnav nodded "We'd love that Aunty" he said giving a quick glance towards Khushi who was trying to look away…after a few more minutes of exchanging pleasantries as Arnav got up to leave, they heard a knock on the bedroom room



"Hi aunty" Payal said as she walked inside gingerly into the room…Garima smiled at her brightly while Arnav and Khushi looked at each other, remembering the other day when Payal had caught them together "Hi Payal…how are you beta?" Garima asked her as Payal smiled slightly




"I'm good aunty… Papa told me about your mishap….I just thought I'll come over and see if your'e ok" she said as Garima suddenly went pink…she hoped no one noticed her flushed face….the incident yesterday had put a damper on her and Shashi's plans, making her regret being so careless…she had told him not to come over to avoid any unwanted gossip from the house help.



"I'm much better now Payal beta…thanks for coming over…how's your college going?" she asked her as Payal smiled shyly "Its going great aunty.." Payal said suddenly noticing Arnav and Khushi who seemed to be very quite "Uh..Hi Khushi…and uh…" Payal said trying to remember the man's name "Arnav…" he said as Payal nodded "yeah…Arnav" she said as both arnav and Khushi said soft hi's



"Anyways aunty…I gotta go…I'm glad to see your'e better" she said as Garima slightly got up and smiled "Keep coming payal and bring your brother too…you know you kids are welcome to come over anytime" she said as payal smirked at Khushi and arnav "Off course aunty…I especially love your mini theatre…its soo….cosy" she said as khushi's eyes widened while arnav pursed his lips from laughing out



...



Khushi stepped out of her mother's room with Arnav a few minutes after Payal had left...she was still annoyed at the girl for teasing them about the incident "I swear Arnav...I could just..." Khushi said as Arnav held her by her shoulders "Hey...calm down baby...she was just joking...she's young, let it be...my brother has done worse things to me you know!" he said as Khushi started walking agitatedly towards her room with Arnav following her



"That's your brother Arnav...Payal is not my sister...she is no one to me...the gall of that girl to..." she said as they reached her room...she hardly had time to finish her sentence as arnav closed her door and pushed her against the door to take her pouting lips in his...she immediately relaxed in his arms and let his lips devour hers...the control he held on to for the past half an hour since he saw her walk into the living room in that completely at home look, had now come off explosively in the isolation of her room



He pressed his body into hers as she latched her fingers into his hair pulling his face more towards hers to deepen the drugging kiss...they kissed like they were starved off each other, each giving their all to feel that sense of satisfaction one feels in the arms of their lover...arnav raised Khushi above him to kiss the side of her neck while she wrapped her legs around his waist, still hoisted up in the air



As his mouth trailed above her now exposed cleavage, thanks to Arnav yanking her top down, Khushi held on to Arnav's neck more tightly while she ground her hips against him "Khushhi...don't do that..." arnav said huskily as he cupped her tender breasts in his hands, squeezing them to get a deep moan from Khushi who could feel him harden against her



"We should sss..stop" Khushi said hoarsely as she slackened her hold on him unwillingly while arnav pulled her top back up and brought her down to her feet...he kissed her again softly on her swollen lips as she responded with equally sweet passion...they finally pulled away, knowing that they won't be able to stop if they continued a minute longer..



Khushi took a deep breath as arnav stepped away from her but kept his hands on either side of her on the door... "What do you do to me Khushi?...I can't seem to control myself around you..." he said as khushi bit her lip "Me too Arnav...how will we work together if we can't even stay a minute without undressing each other" she said without thinking to which he smirked



"So you undress me every time you look at me?" he asked her teasingly as a soft pink glow highlighted her already flushed skin "As if you don't" she said as arnav shook his head "I don't need to Khushi...You turn me on even in old tracks and vest" he said making Khushi hug him tighter "I'm coming to office tomorrow" she said as arnav smiled against her hair



"You better...but only if aunty is fine ok?" he said as they pulled out of the hug...Khushi adjusted Arnav's hair which was completely tousled and straightened his tie and coat that had gone haywire "Fine, but tomorrow we need to brief the team about everything...we can't leave it for long" she said as arnav held her hands in his "I'll do it if you can't make it..." he said as Khushi smiled warmly



"I'll be there...otherwise mamma will break her other hand beating the pulp out of me" she said as arnav kissed her softly on her forehead "Bye...i'll see you tomorrow then" he said as Khushi looked at him, feeling a kind of warmth growing in her chest "see you" she said as arnav gave her one last caressing look before carefully leaving her room with Khushi watching him walk away...she did not know why but she was missing him already...what does one call this feeling?

I loved it, but this is usually how I start all my comments on your writing..there is mystery, drama, emotion and humour...all written just so perfectly, makes the story so visual in nature...

Inspector Naik has no idea who is he dealing with is the form of Avinash, loved how he cleverly breaks Sheetal down and lays a trap for her which she falls into without realising ...anger is never good nor is over confidence and dishonesty and she is a blend of sell three...loved how he maintains his calm and cool composure while slowly feeding her the bait,, ghe way he brings Monica and Arun into the story and then the way by which he makes her lose her composure and bang she says aloud what he sort of expected ...her story changing and the truth coming out...very well done...loved the smirk/smile on his face ...after her admission...waiting to read more on what happens next...

Wondering if Naik has an ulterior motive here,...the intrigue and mystery...loving it!

Loved Khushi and her overwhelming concern for her mother treating her like a baby but it was nice to see such such concern and care...loved how Arnav surprises her...killing two birds with one stone...brownie points from Garima...( future mother in law) and of course getting to see ( and do more with ) his Khushi ...you write the love, intensity and passion so beautifully between them that it reaches the readers and we feel their love and desire, their need for each other...hats of to you for being able to convey their emotions by your writing, just reiterating what a quality writer you are... Your style and content and flair leave me speechless after every update!

Loved how Garima feels when Payal comes in, blushing and behaving like a teenager experiencing her first crush...I missed Shashi..as I did Akash...but Payal, loved how she teases Khushi, of course Khushi not so amused...luckily Arnav was there to control her...but it will be interesting to see how they get along in the next few updates after this encounter...
Also waiting for their date...love their refreshingly honest and simple relationship...

The stolen moments between Khushi and Arnav always exciting to read...

Waiting for the tonight...have a great weekend..I am travelling to so will comment once I return ...

naik obviously is the black mole, trying to save Monica and Sheetal while putting enrite blwme on the Gupta clan!

Avinash is genuine, without giving anyone benefit of doubt, his investigation would be more fruitful!

He had his way easily with Sheetal just a li'll spice and comes in everything nice!

While garima, poor she, missed her date... And i love the mother-daughter duo, both take each other's care soo well!

Aha! Love is in the sir! When Arnav is here..
Then no fear!

He ia around her, with her, loving her, supporting her, kissing her, playing with her and being with her!

Oh! Payal! Kahin pe nigahein kahin pe nishana.. Well done girl! Khushi was flustered!
