Part 28
After a silent drive for about an hour, we finally arrived wherever he was taking me, as for me I had fallen asleep in the car until he woke me up.
"Khushi." He shook me a bit, I blinked my eyes open and looked around, all over me I could see greenery and more greenery and in between this greenery was a huge mansion.
I stepped out of the car immediately and looked a bit further, there was a beach a bit further from the mansion.
"Does this mansion also belong to you?" I turned to look at Arnav in awe.
"No, it belongs to my dad, now come on, let's get in." He shrugged as he headed inside the mansion while I stood outside admiring the beauty of this place.
I felt like I was in some sort of movie, or maybe I was somewhere in Disneyland where everything seemed like a fairytale.
I wondered how rich Arnav was, they already had a huge mansion in which they lived, they had another farmhouse and now this one, how many did they have in total? What did they do with so much money?
I walked towards the mansion having lots of questions on my mind, it was quite strange for Arnav to be studying in our school, I mean he was so rich he could have gone to a better school.
I also wondered why despite having all this money, all this luxury and what not, he was a bad boy, he was the leader of some street gang. In my entire lifetime, I hadn't met, or even heard of someone from such a rich family be a bad boy, I mean surely they were the rich spoilt brats, but it wasn't the case with Arnav, he wasn't the spoilt brat but instead he was a bad boy.
I walked inside as I looked around the interiors of the house, it wasn't much decorated, from inside it was simple but beautiful, it was all white, you couldn't see any other color apart from white.
"Why did we come here Arnav? You said we're going to a safe place, surely this looks like one but it isn't, remember how someone tried to attack us in your farmhouse?" I asked him curiously as I settled down opposite him on the sofa.
"Don't worry about that, no one has an idea that this mansion belongs to us, so no one will know we are here." He said.
"Okay, now let's come to the main point, why was I kidnapped by people I had no connection with, people I dint even know? And how did you know that I was kidnapped? How did you find out where I was?" I asked as I looked at him with serious expressions on my face, I was tired with all the mystery, I just wanted to know everything.
"You were kidnapped because they want something and it was a chance for them to get it from me through you." Arnav said in a calm voice.
Today he looked really serious, but he was worried too, just that he tried to hide his worry but he failed miserably, because I could notice it, I could feel it in the words he spoke.
Since I met Arnav, I had never seen him look this serious, I had seen so many sides of him, the angry one, the flirty one, the irritating one and even the one that was hurt, but today it was another side added to the list.
"Why would you give them anything in exchange of me? I mean were they stupid or what?"
"You know Love, in our world there's one rule if you always want the game to be in your hands then you shouldn't have any weaknesses, once you get a weakness, everything is ruined.
We all have some rules, like family isn't supposed to be involved in this so we are lucky that way but it gets dangerous when someone out of the family gets involved because they become your weakness."
"I am confused, I don't understand this." I said as I looked at him in confusion, seriously this was a bit hard to understand.
"In simple terms, I don't know how but you're my weakness Khushi, and they know that, that's why they kidnapped you because they knew they could get anything from me in exchange of you, I ended up doing the one thing I had promised myself not to do, I dragged you in between all this mess, I am so sorry.
Once everything gets calm I'll take you back home and sort everything and I promise no one will ever dare to touch you again, but for now just be patient please." He stood up and turned away from me, he rushed upstairs leaving me behind wondering how I was supposed to feel about what he had just said.
Was I really that important to him? He could give out anything for me?
He returned back after a few minutes and I was still sited where I was when he left, I was still thinking about what he had just said and just like before not all my questions were fully answered but yet, there was so weird kind of satisfaction I felt.
"Here, change into this, it will be more comfortable for you to sleep." He said as he handed me some pajama, they looked exactly my size.
"How do you have my size of girl's pajamas in your house?" I asked.
"They are Krystle's, if you haven't noticed your body, you are really thin, I mean Krystle is younger than you in age yet you share the same size of clothes, wow."
"What that a compliment or an insult?" I asked as I stood up and looked at him angrily, well for a while I had even forgotten that I had been kidnapped and almost killed, his presence always brought some positive energy into me, like right now I felt so normal and relaxed, it was like I knew that as long as he's with me, no one could harm me.
"Both, by the way, you can change in that room." He said as he pointed on my left, I nodded positively and headed to the room to change.
*****
I walked back to the hall after changing but Arnav wasn't in the hall anymore, I wondered where he might have gone so I started roaming around the house hoping I'd find him somewhere.
I headed upstairs and checked a few rooms, all of them were empty apart from one which had lots of stuff kept in.
I then headed back downstairs as I checked on the other rooms, surely this mansion was bigger than the farmhouse he had taken me too, but it dint feel like home.
The farmhouse was beautiful, even though no one lived there, the rooms weren't as empty as this, it was just lively, but this mansion felt so empty.
I walked into the room that was next to the one where I had gone to change, there was a bed in the middle and a cupboard, nothing else, I left from there and checked the other rooms but all of them were empty.
I walked outside and headed to the kitchen, it was also empty apart from a few jars that had a couple of items that dint usually rot.
"You hungry?" I heard a voice behind me, I turned around and found Arnav standing there with lots of bags in his hands.
"You went grocery shopping?" I giggled as I looked at him carrying almost ten shopping bags in his hands, for a moment I even wondered why he bought so much stuff, it wasn't like we were going to stay here forever.
The mansion was so big that by the time I was done checking it out, Arnav actually managed to finish all that shopping.
"Yeah I did, so what's the big deal? But for today I'm not cooking so I've already ordered some food, they'll deliver it here soon, till then be a bit patient okay?"
"As you say." I nodded as I walked towards him and helped him with the bags, we placed all of them on the kitchen counter and then looked at each other and suddenly everything was awkward.
He stepped backwards and then walked out of the kitchen and headed to the hall, he settled down on the sofa as he switched on the TV.
"Come, we'll watch some movie meanwhile." He said as he tapped on the space next to him, I smiled lightly as I walked towards him and settled down next to him.
He played some random movie and while I tried to concentrate, he stared at me making it difficult for me to concentrate, it was like he wanted to say something to me but he couldn't, like he was fighting a battle in his mind whether to tell me or not.
"Is everything okay?" I asked as I looked at him worriedly, he looked really tensed.
"I am just glad you are fine, I don't know what I could have done if something happened to you, I was scared as hell Khushi, I'm just glad I arrived there on time, and I want you to know that I am so sorry all this happened because of me, I never wanted to risk your life, I am so sorry." He said as he got hold of me and pulled me into a tight hug, and that hug made me realize how terrible he had been feeling all this while, he was literally blaming himself for whatever that had happened to me.
