A twist of events part 9A

He spoke,

"They will always be your family Khushi..." he said softly

After a while of not hearing her response he looked at her. She was looking straight at him with a confidence in her air. He straightened up and looked at her.

He stared at her dumfounded

"What..." He whispered

"You heard me...I want a divorce. I do not want to be associated with your family anymore"

What the hell was she saying? She wanted a divorce? Why was she making this so difficult Arnav thought? He wanted to grab her and shake some sense into her, he wanted her to feel some kind of guilt. But he was just so tired. So tired of the mess that was his life.

"No." he said calmly and walked away with clenched fists

After a while outside, Khushi decided to go in too as it was getting slightly chilly. She went to the reception and asked about the discharge papers.

"Maam the doctor has given us permission to discharge your daughter once she wakes up" the receptionist said.

"Yes...,my daughter has woken up...can I take her now?"Khushi asked.

The receptionist nodded and handed Khushi the papers which she obediently signed.

She then slowly but confidently walked into her daughters room.

Meanwhile in Shaila's room:

"Chotey is she alright?" Anjali asked her distraught looking brother

He knew she was talking about Khushi; he continued to absentmindedly look at the children on the bed and shook his head.

"No di..." he whispered in a weak voice. He didn't want the other family members to hear.

Anjali looked down at the children understanding her brother's pain. She decided to say no more on the topic at the moment.

Just then, the door of the room opened and Khushi walked in confidently.

She came towards the bed and picked up a confused Shaila and walked out of the room leaving the family dumfounded with her gesture.

Arnav ran up to her and held her arm before she exited the door.

"Where the hell do you think your going Khushi?" he asked menacingly

She looked at him with fire in her eyes and replied icily,

"Away from here. Thank you for your help Mr. Raizada...I will be leaving now. Neither I, nor my daughter require your services any longer."  She pulled her arm out of his hold and walked off.

Arnav, after a few moments of recovering from shock at her words he ran after her again and intercepted her with his body. The ASR had once again returned. He grabbed her arm harshly and led her outside the hospital and into the parking lot where his car was. Khushi tried to resist but soon learned that she was of no match to Arnav Singh Raizada...especially not an angry one.

"Leave me" she yelled.

He didn't say anything as he dragged her to the car. Shaila looked around worried and confused, not comprehending the interaction between her parents.

He took Shaila from her arms and strapped her into the car seat. He looked at Khushi with harsh eyes.

"Sit."  he ordered

"No" she retorted

His anger built up even more. He stomped towards her like a predator and pushed her into the seat and strapped her in.

"Do as I tell you" he said dangerously and moved towards the driver's seat. He drove speedily.

He took the now sleeping Shaila out of the seat and took Khushi insensitively by the arm and took them inside the apartment.

He lay his daughter gently in her cot and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead. He called the maid Leela.

"Leela watch her until we return. Do not let her out of your sight do you understand? And if she wakes up give her her bottle and she will fall asleep once again. Call us if you absolutely need us. Please do not disturb us do you understand?" he said quietly to her

Leela nodded without asking any questions, she knew better.

Arnav quickly went into his room and changed. He went back to the living room where Khushi was still standing silently by the door.He held her hand again and led her out.

"Were leaving AGAIN?" she asked as she ran to keep up with him "Shaila..."

"She's being watched over" he replied icily

"Where are you taking me?"

"Shutup" he said as he once again strapped her into her seat.
