Part 5
It was morning. Arnav stirred and felt a weight on his legs. He moved and his lips touched something soft. He opened his eyes and saw that his lips had touched Khushi's lips. She was so close to him that he could feel her breath on his face. The weight on his legs was that of Khushi's leg and one of her hands was on his ear. His hand was on her bare waist and he savoured the touch for sometime before shifting a little. He saw that her dupatta was not on her. She looked beautiful and a little show of her cleavage was making his heartbeat race. It took all his self-control to keep him from grabbing her and making love to her. He knew that he could seduce her because she still had feelings for him but he didn't want that. Right now she was angry and he wanted her to love him totally before they came together.
He was trying hard to control himself. Think Arnav, think of something to distract u. Then suddenly he remembered something and smiled. She was sleeping in her famous taekwondo pose. He got a little confused. But this is RM and she never slept like that in RM.
Khushi stirred in her sleep and felt something on her waist. She opened her eyes and saw that she was lying very close to her husband. She was startled and got up with a jerk. Arnav kept staring at her and she became conscious that her dupatta was missing. She looked for it as Arnav sat up. She found it inside her comforter and covered herself. Arnav stared at her with a smile on his face. She avoided his eyes.
Arnav ' " Ur secret is out Mrs.Raizada."
Khushi (looked at him in surprise) ' "What?"
Arnav ' " U have started considering RM as ur home, this room as ur room and this bed as ur bed."
Khushi '"No!"
Arnav ' " Yes!"
Khushi (angrily)' "How do u know?"
Arnav ' " I know this because yesterday u slept in taekwondo pose."
Khushi ' " So"
Arnav ' " U never slept like this in RM earlier because u never considered our marriage as real and u did not consider it ur home but u slept like this in buaji's house because u considered her house as ur home. "
Khushi ' " What?"
Arnav (smirked)' " Yes Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. U have already accepted RM as ur home, this room as ur room and this bed as ur bed. I wonder how long will u take to accept me as ur husband."
Arnav smiled and went to the bathroom.
Khushi was shocked at his analysis. He was right yesterday she had slept quite peacefully. Earlier she had never felt as comfortable in RM as she had felt in buaji's house but yesterday was different. Yesterday she had felt that this room belonged to her. She was really disturbed. She knew that if she stayed it wouldn't be long before she fell in love with him again.
Khushi started praying, " Hey Devi Maiya please tell me what should I do? Should I run away to buaji's house, but he will bring me back like last time. If ASR wanted something nobody could stop him. What if I hide somewhere? But it would not be difficult for him to find me with all his power and money and he might trouble amma because he had said that the only reason he was not punishing amma was that she had brought me up."
Khushi was thinking hard when he came out. Khushi garbed her clothes and went into the bathroom to avoid any further conversation.
After getting ready Khushi went down to the kitchen. Payal was already there. She helped Payal in making breakfast.
Everyone came down for breakfast except Anjali, Shyam and Dadi as Anjali was feeling tired because of the marriage ceremonies. Dadi and Shyam insisted that she should have breakfast in her bed and they ate with her.
Khushi had a tough time during the breakfast. She could not eat peacefully as Arnav kept staring at her shamelessly and the rest of the family kept smirking at each other. In the end NK got really fed up and said:
" Nanav, mere bhai, let Khusiji eat in peace. U can stare at her in your room."
Khushi became red and ran away from the table.
After sometime buaji came to take her home for "Pagphere". Naniji summoned Khushi to the living room. When Khushi saw buaji she hugged her tightly.
Nanji (smiled) ' "Khushi bitiya buaji has come to take u home for Pagphere."
Khushi (smile) ' " I'll just bring my bag."
Khushi went to her room and started keeping a few things in her bag when Arnav came inside. He looked at her.
Arnav ' " What r u doing? Why r u packing ur things?"
Khushi ' "I am going to buaji's place."
Khushi picked up her bag and started moving towards the door. Arnav's expression changed from surprise to that of anger. He held Khushi's hand and jerked her back. She landed against his hard chest and started to struggle but he held her there and when she saw that she was not getting anywhere with struggling she looked into his eyes.
Khushi ' " Let me go."
Arnav ' " No."
Khushi ' " Buaji is waiting for me."
Arnav ' " Let her wait."
Arnav's face came dangerously close to Khushi's face.
Arnav '" u r not going anywhere."
Khushi ' " Yes I am. U can'"
Arnav cut her off by claiming her lips with his. She was so stunned that she could not even struggle. She wanted to struggle but her body betrayed her and ultimately she surrendered to the demands of his lips and started relaxing against him. Her body was pressed tightly against his and it felt so perfect. She could think of nothing except that she was in the arms of the man she loved. He took control and deepened the kiss.
"Khushi Bitiya" Naniji's voice (calling from somwhere outside the room) brought her back from the dream world. She wrenched her lips from the wonder of his and struggled to free herself. Arnav let her go.
Khushi ran out with bag. Arnav ran after her calling her back. When they reached the living room Arnav saw buaji sitting with naniji. He greeted buaji with "namaste". Nanji saw Khushi and then looked at Arnav.
Naniji - " Chotey buaji has come to take Khushi for Pagphere. U will have to go to pick her up by the evening."
Comprehension dawned on Arnav. So Khushi was not going forever. She was just going for another ritual. He nodded his head. Bauji and Khushi left for Gupta House.
Precap
Khushi is sitting beside amma. Buaji and Shahi r also present. Garima is crying and Khushi is holding her hand.
Garima ' " Please forgive me my child. The most beautiful day of ur life was spoiled because of my mistake."
Khushi ' " No amma please don't blame urself."
Garima ' " I am to be blamed for what happened but I had no choice. I did not want to lie but things were not in my control."
Khushi ' " Amma please tell me what happened all those years ago."
Garima nodded her head.
NEXT CHAPTER WILL DEAL WITH THE TRUTH OF GARIMA'S PAST.
