Part 23

Khushi walked to the door of her bedroom, turned and said...Arnav ji, ill go down and prepare your breakfast. Plz keep an eye on Zoyee... Saying that she closed the door and went down...

Arnav was really irritated...Things were not right at the office and that was making him very upset...

He was talking to Aman on the phone...His cupboard wide open...Absentmindedly he was taking out one shirt after another and throwing them on the recliner without even looking at them... DAMMIT...Aman, we must get this contract...I cant afford to loose more...

Arnav suddenly felt a movement near his foot and he looked down...Zoyee was almost inside the cupboard...If Arnav hadn't seen her, he would have hurt her when he would have closed the door...Worst...she had something round and shiny in her hand and it was going towards her mouth...

Nooo... Arnav screamed, bent down and caught Zoyee's hand and picked her up...She was holding a glass bangle...What the...He tried to take it from her, but she was as adamant as her daddy...

Arnav was already upset and the thought that he would have hurt his baby and now was fighting with her for the bangle...He turned his face away from Zoyee and screamed... Khushiii...

That scared Zoyee...She screamed and started to cry at the top of her voice...

Downstairs in the kitchen Khushi froze as she heard him scream...Dadi looked at her and said...What was that for??

Khushi... He's upset about his business and I really hate it when he starts screaming like that... Oh God, I have left Zoyee with him...She could hear her cry too...

Khushi told OP to bring the breakfast up and she ran all the way to her room...

Arnav was holding Zoyee who was crying and her hand was caught in Arnav's and he was trying to pacify her as well as trying to get the bangle free from her hold...

Arnav...NO no...give it to me...plz Zoyee...nooo...

Khushi walked in the room and Arnav screamed...Why didn't you tell me she was here...I nearly hurt her and look what she's holding...Unbelievable...How can you be so careless Khushi...

Khushi calmly walked towards them and saw all the shirts lying on the recliner, the cupboard wide open and her box of bangles was also open...

Khushi tickled Zoyee under her arm and she dropped the bangle in Khushi's open palm...She went and put it in the box. Closed the box and the cupboard. Then she turned towards them and took the crying baby from his hands...I did tell you that I was leaving Zoyee here...You didn't hear me...What is wrong with you? You are not paying attention to anything im saying these days...Laad Gov...She's not KKGSR, that you can scream at her when you get angry...

Arnav was fuming...He knew if he said anything, it will create a big war between them...I can't find my shirt... and Zoyee could have gotten hurt cause of that bangle...

Khushi walked towards the bed and said..Here is your shirt, and the bangles are all safely kept in the cupboard which is always kept close...

Arnav came near the bed, snatched the shirt from the bed and put it on and said... Dammit... its all my fault, I m not a good father, nor am I a good businessman, nor am I a good husband and nor am I a good brother... He picked his coat and walked out the door...

Khushi thought...Oh God...What was that all about??With Zoyee still crying, Khushi ran after him and on the way out, she handed Zoyee to Shanti bai...

It was raining hard outside and she called out to Arnav ji, but the sound of the rain drowned out her voice... It was chilly outside... The driver was holding an umbrella and escorting Arnav to the car...

Khushi couldn't let him go to work so upset...It was raining really hard now. He sat in the car and turned his face to see who was knocking on his window...It knocked him out...

Khushi was standing out side his window, all drenched...He opened the door and pulled her inside and screamed...Are you mad...Oh God, you are all wet...

Khushi was shivering and said...And cold too...And she sneezed...

Arnav gathered her in his arms...Now both were wet...Khushi, what were you thinking?

Khushi shivering...I cant let you go when you are so angry with me...

Arnav was wiping her face with his hand, trying to remove excess water from her face...He hugged her and said...Im not angry at you...IM just...

He felt Khushi shiver... He opened the door and carried her inside...Both drenched to the skin...He walked up the stairs and headed straight for the bathroom. Placed her down in the shower stall and stood next to her and turned on the shower to hot...

Both gasped as hot water hit them...Their shivering stopped and he put his arms around her and both hugging each other stood under the hot water. The water heating their bodies...and their closeness comforting them...

Arnav moved his lips close to her ears and said...Im not angry at you...Im just...

Khushi...Angry at yourself...Why Aranv ji? It cant be so bad...

Arnav...Khushi you dont know how much I have lost...If I loose more clients and contracts...I'll...Shaking his head...Im in so much debt that I need this contract...And if it leaks out again and I loose it... I wont be able to carry on with the business...We will loose everything...

They stripped their wet clothes off and took a shower. Arnav turned the water off, dried and put on fresh clothes...

Khushi was shocked to hear this...She hadn't realized that Arnav ji was in so much debt and had lost so much. She comforted him...

Khushi...We will be together...The whole family will stand by you...

Arnav sighed...I know that Khushi...but I have to look after my family...I cant let any one of you down...

Khushi...You wont...Why don't you cut down the expenses...You said that business was good when you were working from home...So move the biz here...The big cinema room upstairs and the two rooms for jiji and Di are available... There is also a separate entrance for that section of the house...

Arnav thinking..And I sell my office...

Khushi... NO, you give it on rent...You will get good rent for it...And will also be able to thin out the person who's leaking everything out...

Arnav...Dont worry my love...ill find a way...

Khushi called OP and asked him to warm and bring the breakfast up to their room...

Arnav...Khushi, I'm getting late...I don't have time for breakfast...

Khushi...I wont let you to go to work without food or your medicines...Call Aman ji and bring them all home for the meeting... Change your business environment... Try and see what's the harm??

Arnav thought for a minute and then called Aman...

Op entered with the tray and he set it beside Arnav and Shanti bai entered with Zoyee...Khushi came near him and handed him his tablets...

Khushi smiled at her baby and took her in her arms. Zoyee touching her face...Mumm...

Khushi...Yes my baby...

Zoyee pointing towards Arnav...Da da...

Khushi...Da da is busy...

Khushi to Arnav...I'll go up and set up the rooms for you...

Khushi took Zoyee along with her...Come my sweetheart...

Zoyee...Da-da...No-no

Khushi smiled kissing her cheek...You are learning new words...your da da's words...ya...da-da..no-no...and they both laughed...

--

Khushi was busy in the kitchen preparing tea and snacks for Arnav and his clients... Zoyee was playing with Dadi ji and Nani ji...

Khushi's cell phone rang and she absentmindedly answered it, without checking the number...She was shocked when she recognized the voice on the other side...She looked here and there and went out of the kitchen and into her room...She closed the door and stood with her back blocking the door...

Anjali...Khushi ji...Are you there?

Khushi...Di...is everything alright? Are you alright?

Anjali cleared her throat and said... Khushi ji, I want to meet you...

Khushi...What??

Anjali... I want to meet you, I need to tell you a few things...but I want you to come alone and not to tell anything to Chotey...

Khushi...Di, I cant do that...I...

Anjali..Well, if you dont want to help your husband then I cant do anything...Think about it Khushi ji and call me when you are ready to meet me...But remember, Not to tell a thing to Chotey...and she disconnected the call...

Khushi was dazed...A Thousand unanswered questions going through her mind...Why Di wanted to meet her secretly? What did she want to tell her that was so important for Arnav ji...Can she go and meet her alone and not tell anything to Arnav ji??

Khushi thought...Can she trust Di? Was Di helping Shyam indirectly? Can she go behind Arnav ji just to see what Di was up too? Wish Jiji were here..Then she wouldn't have felt so alone...
