Part35 Gambling

Khushi stunned, seeing Arnav's face behind the long beard. Her throat let the soft chuckle out. The next second she circled his neck, spilling happy tears. Arnav reciprocated her with the same zeal.

"Why did you leave the village without letting me know?" She punched his chest.

"I don't want to leak my plan out. Because Akash and his men might have following us. That's why I didn't let you know about it." Arnav tucked her hair.

Khushi break the hug and dragged him in between the mustard plants. So, they won't be easily visible to anyone.

"Are you scared?" He asked cupping her face.

Khushi nodded NO.

"But I was confused..."

"Now also?"

Khushi nodded NO again and leaned on his chest.

" Khushi, just pretend like what you are doing now." Arnav insisted.

"For how many days?" she asked raising her head.

"Just for a few days."

"Until then can't we meet?" she asked worriedly.

"We shouldn't... trust me... I will make everything alright as soon as possible."

"Mmmm..."

"How is your mother?" Arnav asked caringly.

"Don't talk about her... I'm hell angry with her." Khushi said gritting her teeth.

"It's all fate... what would she do?"

Khushi turned her face opposite to him making angry face. She suddenly remembered something.

"Aru, do you know who my Jeeja is?" She asked cutting "JI" from the jeejaji.

"Who?"

"I saw him in my dream. I strongly suspect he is the one who separated us in our previous birth," she said furiously.

"Yes... Akash is Karana in the previous birth. He is the one who killed us." Arnav said calmly.

"Really?"

"Yeah... you should be careful with him. Don't let him get suspected on us."

"I hate him. He planned to kill you..." There was hatred for Akash on Khushi's face.

"What else he would do? That's what his nature is. That's why I'm saying, we should be careful."

"Why not we elope without his knowledge?" She asked excitedly.

"No... I don't want to elope. In fact, I was not fine with that plan at the previous time too. I want to face Akash face to face in some way."

"It is a dangerous decision." She said fearfully.

"I have crossed the most dangerous time already. He tried to kill me. There is nothing more dangerous than that."

"But what if something happens to you?" She touched his cheek.

"Nothing will happen to me. That's why I came back in disguise. This time, I will do everything perfectly"

"What's your plan?"

"Just wait for a few days. You will get to know that."

"I don't know how could you defeat him... he has very huge supporters in the village and also goodwill. No one will believe if you say he is a criminal," she said nervously.

"You just leave it on me. I will take care of him. You just be calm."

"Mmmm... please be careful."

Arnav nodded yes.

"I should go before anyone sees us together," Khushi said.

"Mmm."

"When will we meet again?" She asked worriedly.

"Soon..."

"I will be waiting... bye..."

She tried to stand. Arnav pressed her shoulder and asked,

"That's all?"

"There is much more to share with you... but we are in the terrible state of not doing that."

"I agree we can't share all of them but can't we share something?" He said caressing her lips by his thump, making her hormones rush erratically.

She hugged him tightly to suppress her control. But Arnav decided to control himself in a different way. He leaned towards her and pressed his lips on hers. An emotional and passionate kiss was shared. The field got heat up. The plants around them smoldered in the hotness. They broke the kiss half-heartedly.

Arnav pecked her forehead.

"Go..." He said.

Khushi nodded yes and left the place. Arnav laid in the field to cool his nerves down. After half an hour, he left the place in the name of Ankit.

Arnav got back to the room. Shyam and Aman were waiting for him.

"Did you meet Khushi?" Shyam asked.

"Yep... I have told her what to do."

"What's your plan, ASR?" Aman asked.

"I'm going to the casino tonight with Shyam."

"What if Akash gets suspicious?" Aman asked.

"Does Akash know I gamble?"

"No... he doesn't," Shyam said.

"I'm not going to play with Akash but only with others today."

"If you win others, how will he dare to play with you?" Aman asked.

"He will... he thinks no one could beat him in gambling. If we provoke him then he will definitely play with Arnav." Shyam said.

"The first two days I won't play with him and definitely won't win them."

"What? Are not you going to win them?"

"No... then only they will show interest to play with me on betting. Who won't play if they get money easily? My loss will definitely make them greedy."

"It's my responsibility to make him play with you the third day," Shyam said.

"I will do my part," Aman said.

"Done." Arnav smiled.

Night

Shyam and Arnav in Ankit's disguise reached the casino. Undoubtedly Akash was there, playing with someone. The villagers saw the old man and started teasing him.

"See, who is here..." Someone said.

"ohh....I'm scared...he is going to defeat all of us." Another said laughingly.

"Hey old man... go to the village and play with your age group people." the voice came from another corner.

The laughter of the villagers stopped as Arnav removed a bundle of money from his pocket and waved it, running his eyes on them.

Arnav and Shyam took seats at another side of the casino and kept the money on the table.

The villagers looked at each other silently. One of the villagers stood from the seat and headed towards Arnav's table. He kept two five hundred notes on the table and gestured Arnav to start.

As per the plan, Arnav lost the game to the villager. There was excitement on the villagers' faces. Arnav asked him to play another game and he readily agreed. Arnav lost not only the second game but all the game and also money to him.

The villagers murmured in between them that they missed the good chance to play with him.

"Hey old man, tomorrow also come with money... then only we can earn it easily." The man who won Arnav shouted from behind.

Making a sad face, Arnav left the casino, leaving the laughing villagers behind.

Game...

Ankit aka Arnav has been watched by the villagers keenly. As he lost the money by gambling, they were willing to play with him. They wonder about his don't care mentality. But they didn't think how a man could not bother about losing money. Their greediness didn't allow their mind to think anything. MONEY the most powerful weapon of the world... made them lose their minds. There was a big competition among the villagers to play with Arnav. Arnav gave them a chance to earn money. The villagers named him BANK. Of course, he won one or two games as he doesn't want to get suspected.
