Part 10

Arnav entered the confines of his cabin and discarding his coat he threw it on his chair. He had dropped Khushi and Abeer at Raizada Mansion and straight away sped to his office. Fisting his palm he banged on the desk. How dare Buaji threaten him? Him? Arnav Singh Raizada? Catching hold of a paper weight lying on the desk, he flunked in one corner. This is the very reason he wanted a contract! If this all would have been a contract, Khushi would have not even dare think of leaving him. But Khushi had not said something like this, it's her Buaji! But that Buaji had said that Khushi will not deny her if she asks her to leave him. Walking across, he sat on his chair. But Khushi is happy with him, isn't she? Why she will leave his house? She is happy with Abeer not you! A voice from within whispered. He flunked a file, breathing heavy. He knows that! Why anyone will be happy with him? why the hell anyone will be happy with him? With his arrogance? With his Dictatorship? Or with his ego? But he gives a damn! Why should he change for someone? No way in hell he is going to do that! But what if Buaji will do what she has threaten to do? No he will not allow that to happen! Never! Who HAD invented this divorce? Bloody idiot! Why even care to marry if they want to divorce? bas***ds!Arggghhh! This all because of Nani! She wanted a real marriage and now everyone is threatening him! Can't she see the advantages of a contract marriage? But Khushi will not leave his house and Abeer. Yes! She is happy with Abeer. Why will she leave Abeer? She considers him as her own son and she will not leave him. And ...and ...he...he can also...also TRY...to not shout at her. Yes! Than she will not leave him. Yes! He will not give her a reason to leave him. But why should he do all this? She is always afraid of him and she will not dare to leave his house. She knows what can he do! But Buaji? What if she tells Khushi to leave him? And what if Khushi listens to her? Dammit! Everyone is hell bent to make his life hell.

Arnav's long monologue of what should he do and what he shouldn't was interrupted by a knock at his cabin door.

"Come in!" Arnav shouted and saw that Aman entered his cabin with a blue file in his hand.

"Sir you need to sign these papers" Aman said and handed the file to his Boss.

Arnav took the file and started reading the papers. Being satisfied with the content he removed a pen from a paper holder and signing the paper, he handed it to his manager.

As Aman was about to open the door, to exit, he halted hearing his Boss's call. He turned to look at his Boss, who was looking at Him.

"Yes, Sir. You need something?" Aman asked in a polite matter.

Arnav looked at Aman. Should he ask? But what will Aman think of him? He will have to ask! There's no way out.

"Hmm...Aman...do you...do you have a girlfriend?" Arnav asked hesitantly, where the hell has he landed himself? Bloody hell!!

"What? What did you ask, sir? I think...I think I misheard you.." Aman replied unable to believe his ears.

"I asked, do you have a girlfriend? Is it so difficult to catch?" Arnav asked through gritted teeth. Here is trying so hard, and his Manager? He has some hearing problem!

"No...I mean...I mean, Sir...yes...I have a girlfriend.." Aman fumbled. Did his Boss just really asked him THAT?

"Oh! So you have a girlfriend. Hmm...so...what do you do to keep her happy?"Arnav asked, seriously curious.

Aman looked at his Boss dumbfounded. Is he really his Boss or some imposter in his place? No he can't be having this conversation here. It's just impossible.

"Aman I asked you something?" Arnav's voice broke Aman's trance.

"Hmmm...yes,Sir...I mean...I mean...to keep happy? ...girls like...girl like flowers,romantic dinners, diamonds..." Aman answered his Boss's query. What the hell is happening today?

"Diamonds?" Arnav whispered. Yes! He can shop for that. He is really good at that.

"Yes, Sir. Diamonds are girl's best friend. You can try that. But why do you ask,Sir? Do you want to buy something for Khushi?" Aman asked. He knows that no one is immune to Khushi's charm and her innocence has a power to change anyone. But ASR? And that too this fast?

Arnav eyes snapped at his Manager.

"That's none of your business. You may leave now!" Arnav said in a stern voice.

"I am sorry, Sir! I will take your leave now" and with that Aman scurried away, leaving his Boss to ponder on his thought.

Arnav saw Aman leaving his cabin and he slummed in his chair. Diamonds he can buy! But why the hell is he taking so much pain? Wasn't it him, who had decided that he will avoid her? Will not think about her? Will not nurture any feelings for her? But this has nothing to do with feelings? Arnav consoled himself. Yes! It's nothing to do with feelings. By doing this he is only assuring that Khushi never leaves his house. Yes, her Buaji wants her niece to be happy, right? So he will keep her happy. He can buy her whatever she wants. What else she can want?

She can have everything, everything but him!

...

Arnav entered his car and slammed the door shut. After office he had came here, to Delhi's best jeweler shop. After going through hundred of rings, he had selected a beautiful and simple ring. The ring was of platinum with blood red ruby studded in the middle in a heart shape. Closing the box, Arnav stuffed it in his trouser's pocket and starting the ignition, he sped to his home.

...

Arnav saw that HP opened the door for him. Handing over the laptop bag to HP, he entered the living room to see that no one is there. He turned to look at HP.

"HP, where is everyone?" Arnav asked to HP.

"Bhaiya , everyone is in their room!" HP supplied.

"Everyone had their dinner?" Arnav again asked.

"Yes, Bhaiya. Khushi Bhabhi wanted to wait for you but Nani said that you have no particular time to return, so Nani ji made her have her dinner. I will warm the dinner for you" HP said and after a Nod for Arnav Bhaiya he went towards kitchen to do the said.

...

Arnav entered his room, to see the lights were off. He quietly went towards his wardrobe to take his nightwear. As he was about to enter the bathroom, his eyes landed on his wife's beautiful face, glowing in the moonlight coming through poolside's glass door. His hand on the bathroom door's knob loosened. Walking in a daze he was beside his wife. The blanket till her chin and Abeer glued to her chest, her one hand around Abeer, securing him in place. His eyes again wandered towards her glowing face, some lose tendrils were caressing her cheek. His roused his hand to her cheek and carefully tucked the strands behind her ear.

"Ebu, sleep na..." Khushi murmured in her sleep. Mistaking Arnav to be Abeer.

Khushi's murmur broke Arnav's trance and he immediately step back. He looked at Khushi, her eyes were still close. Taking a deep sigh to compose himself, he walked back towards bathroom.

...

As Arnav was about to get up from his chair after having his dinner, he heard the door bell ring.

"Who is there at this time?" Arnav asked confused.

"I will see, Bhaiya" HP said and moved to open the door.

HP went and opened the door.

"Aap?"

"Aur nahi toh ka? Tumhri Amma aayengi, Villagewa se? Excuse me. Andar nahi aane doge ka? Hello hey bye bye!" Manorma Raizada pushed a stunned HP and entered the house.

"Mami?" Arnav let out, confused.

"Aur nahi toh ka? Tumhri darling Mami ijj here Arnav bitwa." Manorma Raizada declared widening her arms in her trademark style.

Arnav shook his head smiling and went towards his Mami.

"Welcome back, Mami!" Arnav hugged his "darling" Mami.

"Hug wug toh theek hai Arnav bitwa. But I am beary beary upset with you. Marriage karliye aur humra intezaar hi nahi kiye" Mami lamented, now were she will wear her 10lakh worth, a rarely found piece, Banarsi saree?

But before Arnav can say anything on that they heard the third voice

"Manorma?" Nani said as she saw her daughter-in-law.

Mami and Arnav turned to look at Nani, who was standing at the foot of the stair.

"Pai lagu Sasuma" Mami went and touched Nani's feet.

"But I am also upset with you. humre Arnav Bitwa ki Shaadi and hum ka hi nahi bulaya?" Mami made a somber face.

"That's a long story Manorma. I will brief you later. Now tell me, tum eha, bina bataye?" Nani asked, confused.

"Surprize Sasuma, Surpize!" Mami announced giving her Sasuma her trademark butterfly pose.

Nani smiled at her Daughter-in-law, she and her weird surprises. But Nani frowned and looked behind Manorma.

"Manorma? Where is your tail?" Nani asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Tail? Oh.. you means humra ladla bitwa?" Manorma asked, smiling.

"Ha! Tumhre ladle! Kaha hai? Aaye nahi ka?" Nani asked.

"Aree, yahi toh tha. Kaha gaya?" Mami said looking everywhere.

All the other occupants also scanned their eyes to look for Manorma's ladla till they heard a loud scream.

"Khushi!" Arnav looked upstairs and hearing another scream he ran as fast as he can.

"Bhooottt!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bachao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arnav ji!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bhooottt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As Arnav finished the stairs, he felt something crash with him. He looked down. Khushi was hugging him with all her might and poor Abeer was sandwiched between him and Khushi. His right hand roused to Khushi's waist. Her unique scent drugging him.

"Arnav ji, Bachao, please, bhoot...bachao" Khushi murmured, her eyes still closed.

Arnav came out of his trance hearing her murmur. Raising his hand to Khushi's shoulder he tried to pull her but she tightened her hold on him.

"Khushi? There's no one here. Open your eyes" Arnav whispered in Khushi's ear.

Listening to Arnav ji's whispered, Khushi peered through her one eyes, the other still closed. Little pulling away from the hug she looked back and there came the "Bhoot". Closing her eyes, she again buried her face in Arnav ji's chest.

Khushi felt something soft on her cheek and she turned her head to her left, still her head glued to Arnav ji's chest. Opening her eyes, she saw her son, who was giggling. Khushi sighed, here she is so sacred and her son? He can't get enough of his giggling.

"Shhh...baby, Bhoot is here. He will eat us. Don't make noise" Khushi whispered and saw that her Son had suddenly stopped giggling and was staring at her.

"No no , don't worry. Arnav ji i here. He will fight that Bhoot" Khushi consoled her Son and hugged him close.

"NK!"

Khushi heard her husband say.

Khushi looked at Arnav ji, he was looking ahead. Hey Devi Maiya! He knows that Bhoot.

"Arnav ji, aap us Bhoot ko jante ho? You know that bhoot? Hey Devi Miya! Are you too a bhoot? Hey Devi Maiya! Hamare Pati Bhoot hai."

"Shut up, Khushi!! "

Khushi's lamenting came to an abrupt halt hearing Arnav ji shout.

Arnav pulled Khushi and made her stand beside him.

"NK! What the hell is all this?! Have you lost it?!" Arnav blustered. His cousin and his weird behavior.

NK heard his cousin shout and pulled the scary mask from his face.

"Hmmm...Nanav...I wanted to pull a prank on you but I completely forgot that you are married now" NK, apologized. He had really forgot that Nanav will also be having his wife with him in his room.

"I am sorry, beautiful." NK directed towards Khushi, making her blush.

Arnav looked at blushing Khushi and fisted his palm.

"She is your sister-in-law!" Arnav made clear in his stern voice.

"Oh! I know that! A very beautiful sister-in-law" NK gave his gorgeous smile to his Sister-in-law.

Before Arnav can reply to that, he heard his Nani and Mami.

"Nanhe? What are you doing?" asked Nani.

"Ha NK bitwa, bhat ijj all this?" Mami added.

"Nothing Dadi, Maa. I just wanted to scare Nanav but when I pulled the blanket I saw the sleeping beauty and she got scared of me" Nk said and again smiled at Khushi.

Arnav gritted his teeth and caught Khushi's arm.

"It's late now! We should sleep." Arnav said and started walking towards his room with Khushi.

"Arre Arnav Bitwa, bait bait. Hum apni Dahgter-in-law ko toh deekh le" Mami said, making Arnav stop in his track.

"Aree wah. Ee toh sach ma Butiphool hai. But not more than Manorma Raizada, got it?" Mami said inspecting Khushi from top to bottom.

Khushi controlled her giggle with great difficulty, seeing a colorful Mami in front of her but who will stop Abeer? He started giggling and jumping in his Amma's arm.

Mami looked at Abeer.

"Arre humre Abeer Bitwa." Mami moved forward and gave a loud kiss on Abeer's cheek.

"Mami, it's late now. You can talk with them in morning" Arnav butted in.

"Theek hai Arnav Bitwa. Jaisan tum kaho" Mami agreed.

"Wait wait, Nanav. I also want to kiss my darling." NK stopped Arnav.

"what!!"

"Yes!" NK want towards Khushi and kissed Abeer.

"Hey, Dude! How are you? missed me? Ah! Why will you miss me? Now you have got a new Mom, right? " NK pulled Abeer's cheek, making him frown.

Glaring at NK and not bothering to say anything, he started dragging Khushi with him to his room. Entering the room, he closed to door and bolted it.

Nani shook her head at his grandson and turned to look at her daughter-in-law and grandson.

"Arnav Bitwa is right, Manorma, Nanhe. It's really late, go and rest, we can talk tomorrow" Nani said.

"Theek hai, Sasuma. We bhill talk tomorrow." Mami said and started towards her room, swaying her hips.

"Ok! Dadi, good night!" NK wished and moved towards his room.

Nani smiled and moved towards her room.

Arnav turned around after bolting the door.

"Mami ji aur NK ji kitne aache hai na, Ebu? Ab bohot mazaa aayega." Khushi kissed her Son, very happy with the new addition to her family.

"Khushi sleep its late now" Arnav ordered.

Khushi looked at Arnav ji and nodded.

Arnav saw Khushi moving towards bed. His hand travelled inside his pocket, the ring box secured there.

"Khushi."

The soft whisper of her name made Khushi stop in her track and turned around to look at Arnav ji.

"Ji?" Khushi asked.

"I ...hmm...I mean...I..." Arnav pulled the ring box from his pant pocket and forwarded his hand towards Khushi.

"This...I mean...Nani...Yes...Nani had said that I should give you a gift ...so ...so I brought you one" Arnav hesitantly said.

Khushi looked at the box in Arnav ji's hand. She moved towards him and took the box from him.

"Thank you, Arnav ji. But it wasn't needed. " Khushi said looking at Arnav ji.

"I ...I wanted to...I wanted to..."

Khushi looked at Arnav ji, hesitant to say something. And somehow she knew what he wanted to say.

"It's Ok, Arnav ji!" Khushi smiled.

"What?" Arnav asked confused.

"It's ok! There's no need to apologize. And no need to bring gift everytime you shout. Agar aap har baar chillane ke baad gift layenge toh Kangal ho jayenge! You will left with no money." Khushi giggled

Arnav looked at the giggling Khushi and without saying anything, he moved towards his side of the bed.

"Arnav ji you had your dinner?" Khushi asked as she saw him lying in his side of bed.

Arnav looked at Khushi and nodded.

"Ok! Than sleep." Khushi said , innocently and laid on her side with her baby.

"Ah! Now you will take ages to sleep again , don't you? kitni mushkil se sulaya tha aapko" Khushi pouted.

In reply Abeer did what he does the best, no prize for guessing!

"You! sleep!!" Khushi ordered, taking him in her arms and started humming a song and patting Ebu.

Listening to Khushi's soft humming, Abeer and Arnav both closed their eyes, allowing the slumber to take over.
