UNSPOKEN LOVE

Chapter 30

[MEMBERSONLY]

[NOCOPY]

Khushi's POV

Sitting beside Arnavji, when we heard Di's declaration, I could literally feel his body radiating heat from anger. He wasn't and he never will be in the mood to be with me and that too with my family. He like his kingdom where he can throw orders on everyone, including me, his personal slave. Now when the king is ordered to leave his kingdom for just two days, not even exactly two, is is obviously angry. I shouldn't be, but I am enjoying this situation. Maybe with this we can come a bit closer but I have to finish everything before he returns home, and here home means, MY HOME.

Arnavji left us for the meeting and when on asked at what time he'll be returning, I became his first prey. He snapped at me saying meeting aren't like movies which have fixed timings' but for the first time, his snappy mood didn't made me upset, indeed I wanted to giggle and Di was as usual of no help. When he left shooting daggers on us, I packed few of his clothes and with driver left to my home and here no one was expecting my visit.

I knocked the door furiously waiting for someone to open it as soon as possible.

"Coming." I heard Ma's voice and I stood still for a nano second but then the excitement of meeting them took over me. I knocked gain and as the door opened I hugged Ma with full force.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Ma asked me in concern laced voice rubbing my back. I don't know as soon as I saw her some happy tears ran down my cheeks.

"Did something happen?" she asked again but these tears were not letting me speak.

"Khushi...Say something you are scaring me." she added and a plan popped up my mind.

"I am not going back to that house." I said breaking the hug.

"What happened...Did something happen between you two?" Ma enquired.

"What happened Ma...Khushi...why are you crying?" I heard didi's voice from behind.

"I am telling Ma that I am not going back to that house again." I repeated.

"But why?" they both asked in unison.

"He tortures me, he beats me every day Ma and the family...they are horrible...I am not going back." I cried harder.

"Let me talk to Anjali ji and Nani, how can they do this to my daughter? They came here asking for your hand to do this? Let me call and ask them everything?" Ma rushed towards the landline angrily and sensing how serious this thing has gotten, I rushed forward to block her way.

"No you can't call..."

I said.

"Why Khushi...let us know what they want and why are they doing this?" didi interjected.

"Can't you see how happy I am, I was kidding." And as I smiled brightly saying this, the room got deadly silent and two pair of eyes stared me as if I had sprouted two more heads.

"What?" I asked them arching my eye brows.

"You..." And with that Didi ran in my direction and the only way I saw was towards my room screaming help but today ma too was on her side.

This is what I missed being in Raizada Mansion, my family.

******************************

Returning home after day's long work made me tired and I slipped into something comfortable. After staying with ma and didi for a while I went for the work I came, but have to lie and this made me very guilty. I took out my old basketball shorts and a long T-shirt. I don't wear western outfits out of the house, as I don't know why I feel everyone is staring me but I am in my home now and I can war everything.

"Khushi, are you done with changing?" Ma asked.

"Yes..." I said while adjusting my T-shirt.

"You still look so malnutriented in it. What is Arnavji going to say?" Ma said making me chuckle,

"Khushi, I want to talk about Arnavji." She said making me nervous.

"Yes Ma."

"Me and your baba both want to ask you one thing, are you happy with this marriage?" she asked softly and I immediately lost my capability to speak. How can I tell her the very same night I was handed with divorce papers, I sleep on couch and my husband on the bed, this marriage was just compromise which both me for 8 or now should I say 7 months. I am only living there with just one hope that one day I'll be able to get his love, but even that hope diminishes at the time when he gets angry.

"I-I am happy ma." I stuttered.

"Are you lying? Please tell us if anything is wrong, your baba is already in a guilt that we forced you for this marriage but please don't hide anything." She said and my stomach churned. I can't lie, especially to them. they can read my eyes but I can't break their heart.

"Trust me, Arnavji is a nice person." I told her but couldn't say anything longer than this.

"Is he okay with this marriage?" she asked.

"Yes." I replied shortly with shrug.

"You know, you are my strong girl." She said and took my hand in hers. "he may not like you at first as this marriage was also somewhat forced on him too, but eventually he'll start loving you. you are strong and you have to make this marriage work." She said and I nodded looking down at our connected hands. Does she know everything? Why is she saying all this? I thought but then the knock on the door interrupted us.

"What is my daughter doing?" baba came into my room from work.

"Nothing Ma is just making me emotional." I complained and hugged him tight. I missed him so much. He is my strength and my everything, and if this contract marriage makes my family happy, then I have to stay quiet and try to make it work.

"My daughter just returned home and you are making her cry?" baba asked Ma.

"Ask your daughter, she gave us the heart attack the moment she came in telling us they torture her and other things. I don't know from where her evil mind get these ideas from." She said while hitting my head lightly.

"Khushi...you did that?" baba asked I bit my lips to hold the smile. He hugged me again.

"This is what we have been missing from so many days. The house seems to be so empty without you." he said while swirling me in his arms.

Arnav's POV

I checked the time once again in my watch and it was 7:00 p.m. finally taking a long breathe, I knocked the door and within in few seconds the door opened and I was greeted by Payal.

"Arnavji...please come in." she said with a smile and hesitantly I entered the house. It was quite small but it look homely. I scanned the surrounding and sat on one of the single couch placed in the mall living area. On being called Khushi's parents came out a room and I stood up. I forwarded my hand for handshake with Uncle but in spite he gave me a hug. I gave them a tight smile and then I saw Khushi coming out of her room and the first thing which came in my mind was.

what is she wearing?'

My lips twitched to smile as she looked the hanger of those clothes she was in.

"Khushi take him to the room and let him freshen up." I heard aunty's voice and saw Khushi nodding.

I followed Khushi and she took me to her room which was smaller than the living room. I was looking and scanning every corner of the room where her voice snapped me out from my thoughts.

"It's small...but sorry...you have to adjust." She said apologetically and in my inability to speak I just hmmed'.

"There is a washroom and here is your bag with clothes...you can change. I'll be out." She aid handing me my bag. She was looking so cute in whatever she was wearing that although unintentionally, I kept staring her.

"You bought my clothes?" I asked her.

"I thought that you won't look good in my suits or ma's saree, so I thought of packing your clothes." She said and I don't understand why she can't answer me straight. Why always the sarcasm? It just irritates me.

"Get out...I need to change." I said in a stern voice and seconds later she disappeared out of the room but I know she would be laughing mentally.

I changed into my sweatpants and a white T-shirt and freshing myself up I came out of the washroom as quickly as possible. it was so small that I was feeling claustrophobic in it.

When I came out, they were arranging the dining table, so I joined them. I was feeling like a lost puppy here but somewhere I kept in mind that it's just for few hours. Khushi served me but her mother kept on adding more to it.

"Aunty it's way too much for me." I said.

"Living with Khushi, for almost for a month now, you should start eating more." she said.

"And add extra butter and before going give him some dry fruits too. You need energy to listen her endless blabber." He father added and I 110% agree with him. I saw her who was smiling sheepishly which made me smile a bit. You need much more to be around her for the entire day.

"I hope she doesn't annoy you much?" uncle asked.

"No, I am accustomed to it now." I told them and Khushi looked at me in disbelief.

"Good, we were worried that she would make you insane." He said with a smile and my mind was screaming

YES...She already did. My mind screamed.

The dinner ended well with light conversation and now I was struck with Khushi in her room where she was studying and I was in conversation with Lavvanya. As usual, she was being annoying and was throwing her tantrums pissing me off. The entire day I was with her, but nothing seems to be enough to her. she is the one of a girl who clings to you everytime and I hate it. I need my space.

The screeching sound of the chair diverted my attention and I looked at Khushi who was now closing her books.

"You start eating more and gain some weight else your family will think we don't give you food to eat. You look soo..." I paused to hunt for an apt word to describe her.

"Malnutritioned...I know." She said. i didn't want to call her malnutritioned, she was far from being called this, she had a perfect figure but wearing such loose clothes made her look weak.

"Yeah..."

"Don't worry, I have told them you torture me every day, so in case they find me dead in your room or somewhere so they know whom is to be blamed and put behind the bars." She said casually and my eyes came out of sockets.

"You what?" I asked her, and my voice was almost the octave of my usual as I approached her.

"I told them." she said folding her arms in front of her chest.

"How can you..." my sentence was interrupted as she kept her palm over my mouth.

"This isn't your mansion where if you'll scream with this loudspeaker of yours other won't hear." She pointed to my throat. God this girl will be a death for me.

She removed her hand and continued. "Why are you so worried...huh...did you watch come crime show again and had planned to kill me...which failed?" she asked and I kept staring her in anger.

"Relax...I didn't tell them anything so you won't be blamed for anything which happens to me...Now come let's sleep...it's already 11." She walked passed me towards the bed making me stare her back.

"Are we going to share bed again?" I asked.

"As you can see there is no recliner here and I am not comfortable sleeping on my study desk...so yes." She said with a grin and I huffed loudly remembering how dangerous she can be with her amazing sleeping skills.

"I am the one who is supposed to sleep on the floor...this is your house." I said in confusion. In my house if she sleeps on recliner then this is her and the roles will be obviously reversed.

"This is OUR room Arnavji...and let me tell you sleeping on the floor is not at all comfortable especially for a person like you it will be the worst as you have no experience in it." she said emphasizing on the word our' and I looked at her. I keep telling her about my thing and claim everything back in my house as mine. I don't even allow touching her my things and here she is calling everything ours'.

"What are you thinking...See...You can do one thing...if I'll do something which disturbs you then just wake me up or you can pinch or you can do anything as I am usually dead while sleeping...but please no water." she suggested.

"Okay..."

We both made ourselves comfortable on the bed and I could say I made myself comfortable for few minutes and as she dozed to sleep I was attacked with her kick in my guts.

To sleep peacefully, I followed my last time's policy, I just scooped her in me, wrapping my arms over her and encaging her body in mine. But then when I saw her face, I registered how close we were. My eyes immediately landed on her lips which I kissed just a night before. They were so soft and delicate. An immediate desire pooled me in me just to make her mine. Where only she and I could be together. I could sense my body responding to those thoughts making me groan in pain but I wasn't willing to leave her. Taking some deep breathes, I tried to suppress my desires but in spite her fragrance filled my nostrils. I seriously don't understand what is wrong with me? Even though when I was with Lavanya in the hotel Khushi's image kept lingering my mind which made me feel guilty at times when reality used to hit me. I don't know what this girl is doing to me but whatever it is...it is just making me insane...or I should rephrase it...it had already made me insane. But know I have to draw the line again which somewhere I had crumbled unintentionally. She wiggled in my grip and giving her the final glance, I fell asleep keeping all the thoughts aside for the night.
