Here is the 7th part!
Sorry for the the delay but I was really busy with some other work.
Part 7
Arnav was restless. He did not want Khushi to go. All he wanted was to bring her back. The time seemed to move so slowly. At last it was 5 o' clock and NK, Akash and Anjali came to his room. Arnav was ready to leave. They smiled a little.
NK â "Where r u going Nannav?"
Arnav â "To buaji's house to bring Khushi back."
NK â Nannav, naniji called panditji and he told her that today was an inauspicious day so Khushi will have to stay the night at buaji's place. U can bring her back in the morning.
Arnav was shocked.
Arnav â "What?"
Akash â "Yes Bhai!"
Arnav (really angry) â"I don't believe this! I am going to bring Khushi back now."
NK - "I am sorry Nannav but u will have to wait, as it is naniji's order."
Arnav (angrily)- "I will do as I please, so stop irritating me."
Anjali smiled.
Anjali (to NK and akash) â "Stop teasing him!"
Anjali (to Arnav) "Chottey u go! They r just teasing u."
NK and Akash laughed and Arnav looked irritated.
NK(teasingly) â "By the way Nannav, why r u so restless to bring back Khushi ji tonight? I mean why can't u wait till morning? What do u plan to do at night?"
Akash hid his smile and Anjali gave a warning look to NK, silently pleading him to stop teasing Arnav. Arnav raised his eyebrows at NK as if asking, " U really want to know?" and then left the room.
Arnav reached GH and rang the doorbell. Khushi opened the door and saw him. His heart skipped a few beats as he looked at his gorgeous bride. She was breathtaking. They stared at each other for some time. Suddenly they heard buaji's voice.
Buaji â "Who is it Nand Kisor?"
Then she saw Arnav and smiled.
Buaji â " Oh Arnav bitwa! Please come in."
Khushi moved aside as Arnav entered the house.
Arnav â "I have come to pick up Khushi."
Buaji â "Oh yes.."
Khushi folded her hands in front of her chest.
Khushi â " I want to stay the night here."
Arnav (shocked and angry) â " What the.."
Buaji looked at Arnav and then Khushi with confusion and then went to Khushi.
Buaji â " What r u saying Sanka Devi?"
Khushi - " Yes buaji I don't want to go tonight."
Arnav took a step towards her in anger and she backed away.
Arnav looked furious. Bauji saw Arnav's anger and got scared.
Buaji â " Khushi bitiya! Arnav babua is here to take u back. Go with him. U can come later on. Okay?"
Khushi â " Buaji u won't let me stay in my own house."
Arnav â " Khushi how many times will I have to tell u that now my house is ur home?"
Khushi â "No"
Arnva- " Khushi stop fussing or I will carry u to the car."
Khushi became nervous and backed a little more.
Buaji (trying to pacify Arnav) â " Bitwa don't get angry. Sanka Devi will go with u."
(to Khushi) â " Khushi go and bring ur bag and go with Arnav babua now."
Khushi (stubbornly) â " No buaji !"
Buaji (angrily) â " I said GO!"
Khushi looked shocked and hurt. She turned and went inside her room and started packing her things. Buaji came inside the room. Khushi did not look at her.
Buaji â " I know u r angry with me but believe me I am thinking about ur happiness"
Khushi (tearfully) â " by sending me away with a man who hates my amma?"
Buaji â " That man is ur husband and he loves u deeply and no matter how much u deny it u also love him."
Khushi â " But he blamed my amma and I will not accept him till he believes that my amma is innocent. By the way where is amma?"
Buaji â " She is in the other room with ur bauji. She did not want to go in front of Arnav babua"
Khushi â " See! This is what I was dreading. Amma cannot even go in front of her own son in law"
Buaji put her hand on Khushi's shoulder.
Buaji â " Khushi bitiya Arnav babua does not know the truth and if u stay here and don't even try to make him understand how will he know that amma is innocent. U will only anger him by not going with him. U will have to try to make him understand with love and patience."
Khushi â " He is very stubborn."
Buaji â " but he loves u and love changes everybody. Give him some time and I am sure everything will be fine."
Khushi went out with her bag and left with Arnav. On the way she avoided his eyes and kept looking at the road. Arnav kept stealing glances at her but did not say anything.
They reached home and Khushi too k out her bag and the gifts given by buaji. Arnav took them from her. She did not resist and moved to the front door. He moved all the packets to one hand and reached out for her hand with his free hand. She backed away. He gave her an annoyed look and then reached for her hand again and held it. She struggled but he held it firmly and rang the doorbell. She kept struggling but to no avail. The front door was opened by mamiji. Khushi stopped struggling. She smiled at Arnav.
Mamiji â " Welcome back Arnav bitwa."
Arnav entered with Khushi. The whole family was sitting in the living room except Shyam. They smiled as Arnav and Khushi entered the room.
Naniji â " so u have come back."
Khushi went to naniji and touched her feet. She gave the packets to naniiji and told her that buaji had sent sweets and gifts for everyone. Naniji smiled.
Naniji â Khushi bitiya u must be tired. U go to ur room with Chottey. I will send HP with tea and coffee."
Khushi â " no naiji I am fine! I want to sit with all of u"
Khushi sat down on the sofa. Arnav looked at her with an expression that clearly said " I know u r trying to avoid me but u cannot do that forever."
COMMENTS PLEASE!
Part 8
Naniji ' Khushi bitiya u must be tired. U go to ur room with Chottey. I will send HP with tea and coffee."
Khushi ' " no naiji I am fine! I want to sit with all of u"
Khushi sat down on the sofa. Arnav looked at her with an expression that clearly said " I know u r trying to avoid me but u cannot do that forever."
Naniji - " What about you Chotey? Would you like to sit with us or do you have some other work?
Arnav - " No nani! I am absolutely free. I will sit with all of you."
Everyone was surprised to hear this, as Arnav was generally busy and rarely sat with the family on such occasions as these. Khushi looked at him and he smirked. She looked away and started feeling uncomfortable. She had sat down with the family to avoid him. She had thought that he would go to his room as usual but he seemed to be determined to stick close to her.
Arnav moved forward and sat beside Khushi. He sat very close to her so that she could feel the warmth of his body. She was damn uncomfortable. A part of her was craving to close the distance between their bodies and settle herself in his arms and another part was repulsed by this thought. She was totally confused and tried to move away by shifting to the edge of the sofa. In her attempt to avoid his touch she nearly fell off the sofa when a hand snaked on her waist and pulled her back. She landed on his chest. The whole family was amused to see this. She immediately tired to move away but he restrained her by his hand on the exposed part of her waist. The touch of his hand on her bare waist was wrecking havoc on her senses. She wished that atleast the thin material of her saree was between his hands and her waist.
Naniji ' " What happened Khushi bitiya? You were about to fall off the sofa. Are you allright?"
Khushi immediately backed away from Arnav and sat properly. She tried to remove his hands from her waist but he kept it there, firmly. She did not want to create a scene infront of the family so she let it be.
Khushi ' " Yes naniji I am all right."
Anjali ' " Yes nani now everything is fine."
Anjali smirked at Khushi and her eyes went to Khushi's waist, were Arnav's fingers were caressing her milky skin. Khushi looked down, unable to meet anyone's eye. The whole family conversation was a blur. She could not concentrate on anything.
After dinner Arnav went to his room but Khushi stayed in the kitchen, pretending to help HP. She did not want to go her room till Arnav was asleep but little did she know that Arnav had decided to wait for her. Arnav was pacing the room restlessly. He knew that Khushi would not come to the room easily.
Khushi knew that Arnav slept around11:00 p.m so she waited till 11:30 to go to her room. She opened the door quietly and saw that the lights were switched off. She could make out Arnav's sleeping figure in the dim light of the night bulb. Arnav had put a night bulb in their room since she was afraid of the dark. She crept to the bathroom to change in her night dress.
She came out of the bathroom and went to the bed. She sat on the bed tentatively. She wanted to make sure that Arnav was asleep. She was looking at Arnav's figure when he turned suddenly and pulled her on the bed. He held her below him and looked into her eyes. She was hell scared now. She tried to struggle but in vain then she gave up and looked into his eyes defiantly.
Khushi ' Get off me Mr. Raizada.
Arnav smirked ' Not so soon Mrs. Raizada. You have been avoiding me but we really need talk.
Khushi (angrily)- I don't want to talk.
Arnav (smirking) ' You are right! Why waste time in talking when we can do better things?
Saying this he lowered his lips and hovered just above her lips.
Khushi was scared and yet excited. She couldn't help but respond to him. She remembered their kiss and blushed at the thought. She couldn't deny that she wanted him but she couldn't give in to the man who hated her amma. She knew that he would never force her so she tried another approach.
Khushi ' Mr. Raizada I know that you are stronger than me and I won't be able to stop you if you forced me but remember one thing that even if you have my body forcefully you will never have my soul.
Arnav was really shocked and he backed off. Khushi immediately got up from the bed and moved away from him. He frowned at her.
Arnav ' Do you really think I would force you?
Khushi did not reply and kept looking at the floor. Arnav was angry and hurt. He moved close to her.
Arnav ' This is what you think of me? Have you forgotten the love we shared? Do you really think I lust after you? If that is so you are mistaken Mrs. Raizada. I am not a sex-starved animal.
Khushi looked at him with tears in her eyes and his anger melted away. He held her face in his hands and looked at her with all the love in the world.
Arnav(gently) ' It is true that I want you but not because I lust after you. I want you because I love you. Is it wrong to want to make love to the love of your life?
Khushi looked down but Arnav put his finger under her chin and made her look at him again.
Arnav - Khushi I will never force you. You can take your time because I know that you will come to me in the end. You are mine and I am yours. I will wait for you till my last breath.
Khushi was really disturbed after hearing this and she immediately put her palm on his lips to stop him from talking about death.
Arnav smiled at her and looked at her with a naughty smile.
Arnav ' So Mrs. Raizada does not want me to talk about death! You, also, want to think about the beautiful life we will have together.
Khushi was embarrassed and she removed her hand from his lips.
Khushi ' I have to get up early so I am going to sleep.
Arnav smiled at her as she went to the bed.
