Part 23
'What is going on?' wonder Arnav 'Why are there two Khushis?' Arnav decided to figure it out.Seeing the Khushi with Lavanya busy,he went up to the Khushi who was looking through expensive jewelry.He tapped her on the shoulder and whispered "Khushi?"
The woman turned around.Her eyes went wide.Arnav was much more shocked.She looked exactly like Khushi.The birth mark beneath her ear was exactly in it's place but the only difference he noticed was her eyes were dark brown when Khush's eyes were hazel "You?What are you doing here?...Selecting jewelry for your wife?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Wife?What are you talking about?Khushi is over there then who are you..and why do you two have the same face?" asked Arnav totally confused.
"Wait wait,don't tell me you actually kicked your wife out" said the other Khushi with an unbelievable look on her face.
"Look,you don't have the right to interfere in my life-"
"That means you did...I can't believe that psycho's plan actually worked"
"What?What are you talking about?"
"Oh you see,my name is Maya Sonal..I am a bar dancer..there was this guy,his name was something like Shan Manor Ja" she said trying to remember the name.
"Shyam Manohar Jha?" he asked,his heart beginning to beat quicker.
"Yeah,that's the name..anyways so he came to me and offered me 30 crores if I did plastic surgery and changed my face..I also had to go pretend as your wife and for some reason make you hate me so much that you will just throw me out.Anyways so I agreed because 30 crores is a big deal..I was with you in Florida and I pretended to be your wife and also pretended to cheat on you"
"So you were with me in Florida?" confirmed Arnav,feeling his heart beat stop.
She nodded.She got a phone call and attended it "Hello..yes..oh okay" She cut the call and looked at him "Well I got to go..I am leaving for London"
She turned to leave but stopped when she heard him ask "Do you know where Shyam is right now?"
She turned around and shrugged "The last I heard about him was that he died in a car accident" she walked up to Arnav and patted his cheek "Hope you patch things up with your wife" she turned and left.
He couldn't believe it.He remembered Shyam's promise.
Arnav Singh Raizada..my only rival in the business company...you may have won this time but trust me,I will be back..I see that you declare love for Khushi but I promise one day I'll return and make sure you,yourself throw her out of your own house..just wait and watch
He couldn't believe Shyam actually fulfilled his promise.He also couldn't believe he,himself broke the promise he had made to Khushi.He took out his phone and called the police "Hello Inspector..it's me Arnav Singh Raizada,the one who helped you arrest Shyam Manohar Jha..yes I would like to know why you didn't inform me he escaped...what do you mean you were about to...just forget it..it's too late now...anyways I heard he died in an accident,is it true...it is,oh okay"
He cut the call.Arnav looked at Khushi who was nodding at at a ring Lavanya was showing.Lavanya looked at him and smiled.She walked up to him and showed her ring "I think this one is perfect" Arnav finally looked at Lavanya and sucked in a breath.He just realized in what huge problem he was stuck in.Worse,he was the cause of it.He glanced at Khushi who was in a corner talking on the phone.Cutting the call,she hesitantly joined them "ASR have you picked your ring?" asked Lavanya,wanting to catch his attention.
"Let's go..I'll pick it later" he said staring at Khushi,who was playing with her phone.Lavanya nodded.The three went out and sat in his car.
"Let's drop Khushi off first" suggested Lavanya,wanting to spend some time with him alone.
"I will drop you first because your house is closer" came his reply.Lavanya opened her mouth to say something but seeing his glare,she looked away.
Khushi knew his intentions 'He is going to try and insult me when she leaves..I have to get out first'."Can you stop the car here" she said.
Arnav looked at her through his rear mirror "Why?"
"I-I need to do some shopping"
Seeing Lavanya,he couldn't refuse Khushi.Reluctantly he stopped the car.He watched her get out and leave.
****************************************************
Khushi was at her apartment.She had taken a taxi to her apartment after Arnav dropped her off and drove off.She was making tea in the kitchen.She got a phone call.Not looking at the caller id,she answered "Hello"
"I am coming to your apartment right now.I need to talk to you" came Arnav's voice.
Before Khushi could say anything,he cut the call.Khushi panicked.She dialed a number urgently on her phone waiting for the other person to pick up "Hello...it's me Khushi...can you please come over..I have a..meeting...now...thank you so much"
***************************************************
About 15 minutes later
The door bell rang and Khushi reluctantly opened it.She glanced at Arnav and welcomed him in "What would you like to talk about Mr.Raizada" she said professionally as soon as Arnav sat down.
Arnav didn't like her calling him Mr.Raizada but he let it go "I want to talk about what happened ten months ago"
"Look Mr.Raizada,we know each other professionally..it's your wedding I am planning..I prefer we do not bring up the past"
He stood up and walked up to her "I know what I did was wrong..I also know asking for forgiveness or saying sorry is something too small to cover up my mistake...but I still ask for one chance"
"You can then forget it because I am never giving you that chance...overall you are getting married so please focus on that"
She turned to leave but he held her elbow.She turned around "I can call off this wedding any time Angel"
"Just shut up and leave me alone...did you all of a sudden get tired of Lavanya that now you are coming to me? Stay in your limits Mr.Raizada.It doesn't look good to see a rich man like you with a middle class girl like me" She pulled her elbow out of his hold and gasped "My tea!"
She turned and ran to the kitchen leaving a sad Arnav.He pressed his lips together,trying to think of a strategy to get her back to him.He knew he was being selfish but he didn't want to lose her even though what he had done.He looked around and saw a door.It was closed.Arnav didn't know why but he felt a strong pull towards it.An urge to see what was behind it.Seeing Khushi busy handling her spilling tea,he took measured steps towards the door.He felt his heart beat rise with each step he took.He reached for the knob and turned it.It was open.He pushed the door open and was shocked when he saw an old woman with a small,crying baby.He took urgent steps towards the woman who held the crying baby.She stood up,seeing him "Who are you?" he asked.
"Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting with Khushi dear?" she questioned back.
"Um..yes..actually she's busy right now but anyways can I ask who are you?"
"I live next to Khushi..in room 237"
"Oh...may I also ask who is this baby?"
"Oh this is Khushi's son"
Arnav froze.
