At night..

Gupta house..

"Akash ji is everything alright? Do you need something else? Are you comfortable in my room?" Payal asked while standing on the door with him.

"I've to tell the truth about Raizadas to this girl soon.. She's falling for Akash when he doesn't even have any feelings towards her.." thought Mama to himself.

"Yes.. everything is fine my darling.." Akash smiled and pinched her cheek with a naughty wink.

Payal blushed and went from there running, while Akash rolled his eyes boringly and closed the door heading to his bed.

"When you don't love her, then why are you acting like this?" Mama asked to Akash.

"You wouldn't get this place to sleep if I didn't act like that.." Akash replied sarcastically.

"And you wouldn't be here if you didn't act in front of Chote.." Mama said. Akash glared at him, "Yes go on Papa.. taunt as much as you want to.. I will listen everything!"

Mama just shook his head and laid on the bed closing his eyes to sleep.

Arnav tip toed inside Khushi's room looking behind him to see if she's there or not, sighing in relief that she wasn't behind him, he turned to walk ahead but gasped finding her in front of him.

He lost balance on himself after being scared by his wife, and held her waist to support himself, "Oh teri.."

Khushi held his shoulder and looked at frowning, "It's night time and you should be at Sheesh Mahal in your room sleeping, what are you doing here?"

"Wait.." Arnav said trying to breathing normally, then looked at her and pecked her forehead, "I came to wish you Good night.."

"Oh mere Romeo.. advanced technology came to save you from taking trouble like this only, there's an app called Whatsapp and you can message me Good night and even send a kiss emoji and work is done!" she said with sarcastic tone.

"But the feelings are different.." he said.

"Yes definitely.. On whatsapp I would get to see a tiny and small cute emoji sending kiss to me while here I've to face a rakshas, right?" she asked smiling.

"Rakshas, Tangaballi, Laad governor.. whatever I'm, I'm only yours.. right?" he asked with cute puppy face smiling at her.

"No.." she nodded sideways and pushed him slightly going to her bed side to sleep.

"Yes.." he said stubbornly and Khushi glared at him covering herself with blanket.

"You better leave my room and let me sleep.." Khushi said pointing towards the door.

"Don't you feel bad for such a small baby like me who came all the way from Sheesh Mahal till here only to wish you Good night.. do you know how much cold is there outside?" Arnav asked pouting.

"Oh my small baby.. didn't you realize that you came here by your car and you could close the windows also to not get cold?" Khushi asked.

"Khushi.." Arnav whined but before he could speak more Dadi came in the room and looked at him with narrowed eyes, "Why are you here? Are you troubling my bitiya?"

"Dadi I just came to wish her Good night.." Arnav said.

"He's not letting me sleep Dadi.." Khushi complained glaring at Arnav.

"She's also not letting me sleep.. whenever I close my eyes I only see her face.." Arnav complained glaring at Khushi.

Khushi stare at him not expecting that he would say something like this that too in front of Dadi.

Dadi smiled shaking her head thinking, "Even fighting they look so cute!"

"Chote back to your home and get some sleep without Khushi bitiya..." Dadi said sternly.

"Okay.. I will go!" Arnav said nodding like obedient boy and Dadi went from there.

He walked towards Khushi's bed and sat beside her, pecking her right cheek without warning, "Forgive me soon na.. I can't live without you anymore.. Sheesh Mahal seems so empty and I don't feel like staying at home at all.."

Arnav rested his head on her lap with moist eyes, "I can't live without you Khushi.."

Khushi stroke his hair with tears in her eyes, but she shook her head not letting herself fall weak because of his tears. She left him and Arnav sat on the bed staring at her with same stern look, he smiled sadly: I'm not forcing you to forgive me.. forgive me when you want to.. but I can't stop trying na..

"Okay.. bye my Angel.." he kissed her another cheek as well.

Khushi looked at him wide eyed, "Bye my small baby!"

"See I told you whatever I'm, I'm yours only.." he smirked and went from there closing the door of her carefully.

"I wish you behaved with me like this before our separation Arnav ji.. Then no one would be much happier than me, but now I feel this happiness is for short time and you will leave me again if something bad happens.." she whispered.

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

Next day..

AR..

"Aman why don't you forget your wallet everyday at Shantivan so that I get to see my Khushi?" Arnav asked.

"Why don't you go there by yourself?" Aman asked smirking.

"I did but they threw me out of the house.." Arnav pouted.

"Haha... seriously.. Who would dare to do that with ASR?" Aman laughed but one glare from Arnav made him quite.

"Anyways Arnav I came here to say that we're indeed in problem because of Sheetal's matter.. there is just two days left for the fashion show and no model would agree in such a short time of notice to walk on ramp that too as Showstopper.. I tried to contact few but they're not available Arnav.." Aman said.

Arnav nodded thinking a solution for this problem, his eyes lit up: Khushi!

"What? Khushi doesn't know anything of modeling Arnav.. How will she manage it?" Aman asked shocked.

"My wife.. I will train her and trust me she will rock it.." Arnav smirked, "She has perfect figure to be a model.."

"That's okay but will she accept it?" Aman raised his one eyebrow.

"That I don't know.." Arnav shrugged in doubt too now, "I will go to Shantivan after my meeting with Mr. Khurana, then will talk with her about this.."

"Okay.." Aman nodded.

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

Gupta house:

Payal was serving lunch for Raizadas happily thinking it to be her bahu's duty. Akash smiled at her while she served for him blushing.

"By the way, you did tell us that Arnav bitwa threw you all out of Sheesh Mahal because of Khushi.. but what exactly happened? What made him do that?" Buaji asked curiously.

"After the big discussion that happened between them, Khushi left to Aman's house right? Then only Chote's Dadi and aunt came home and started supporting Khushi, then they moved to Shantivan along with Khushi, after that don't know what those three put in his brain and he turned against us and threw us out of the house and even transferred all his property in Khushi's name.." Nani explained.

Buaji spilled out her juice and looked at Nani with wide eyes, "Means Sanki is owner of everything now?"

"Hello hi bye bye .. Big Yes!" Mami replied pouting sadly that they lose such a luxurious lifestyle and loads of money to spend on without having to think to save. Akash clutched his fist after hearing Khushi as the owner of everything that belongs to Arnav. Now he realized he lost big time to Khushi.

"Matlab Khushi is a billionaire now.." Buaji widened her eyes more if possible.

"Yes.." Nani rolled her eyes and Buaji started pinching herself to confirm if she heard it right or not.

"Is Arnav bitwa okay to transfer all his property to Khushi?" Garima asked confused.

"He has been trapped by your daughter.." Nani said.

"She's not my daughter.." Garima replied with disgusting look, thinking the woman who can throw her sasural out of their house can't be her daughter.

Shashi shook his head in disbelief at their talks and thought to talk with Khushi personally to get true explanation of what happened.

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

Shantivan.

Arnav reached in Shantivan and sat on couch at the living room waiting for the ladies.

Khushi passed through him to go to the kitchen and he mischievously pulled her to his lap. Khushi gasped struggling in his arms, "Leave me Mr. Raizada.. who gave you right to pull me like that?"

"You're my wife!" he said pulling her closer, while Khushi looked around scared if anyone would come and see them in this position.

"Yeah right.. the one who you sent divorce papers.." she said mockingly and Arnav's expression turned serious.

"I will always repent for sending divorce papers to you Khushi.." he said guiltily.

Khushi looked away unable to see his sad and guilt look, she's supposed to give him a hard time and not fall for his innocent sad look.

Arnav pecked her cheek, "Forgive your Arnav please.."

"Stop kissing me every now and then.." Khushi whined.

"You don't like my kiss?" he asked.

"Who likes kiss from Rakshas?" she asked sarcastically and got up from his lap, "Let's go.. lunch is being served at dinning hall.."

"Lunch is in front of me only.." he licked his lips smirking at her. Khushi widened her eyes at his bold talks and went from there cursing him.

"Unbelievable.. he knows I'm angry with him.. and still flirts with me.. men are all same only.. flirt with me! Lunch is in front of me.. am I some kind of food to be eaten by his mouth.. nahin na.. that day he misunderstood me for Sushi and now calling me lunch.. I should change my name.. Should I keep Bindiya? No..then he will misunderstand me for Bhindi.. Khushi is better only.." she muttered all the way to the dinning hall while Arnav followed her from behind wondering what's she talking to herself.

Khushi sat on her chair and Arnav sat beside her. Khushi wanted to change her seat when Arnav held her hand stopping her, "Keep calm.. I know you didn't forgive me yet, but there is nothing wrong if you sit with me right?"

Khushi sat back pouting and Arnav smiled in victory.

He served for her much to Dadi and Maya's shock, because Arnav is not a caring person since childhood. He was always that kid who doesn't like these hugs and kisses things. He feels awkward to console a crying person. He hates emotional things and is always trying to be practical and logical. He doesn't like to stay much to socialize, and stays happy in his corner doing things he like, earlier it was reading books and sketching, and now it's his office works and taking care of his plants.

"That's enough.." Khushi said making him stop and started serving to himself.

"What brings you here Chote?" Dadi asked.

"Well.." Arnav cleared his throat and side glanced at Khushi who was eating lost in her own world.

"Since I fired Sheetal from AR, we don't have the showstopper for our fashion show and it's just two days are left for it.." Arnav said.

Khushi looked at him worriedly. Dadi and Maya aunty felt bad for him and equally tensed.

"What will you do now?" Dadi asked frowning in tension. She always pray for her grandson's success and seeing him in problem surely affect her also.

"I was thinking about someone to replace Sheetal.." Arnav said, glancing at Khushi.

"Who?" Dadi and Maya asked.

"Khushi.." Arnav tried to smile as if it's some model he choose to be showstopper after giving the shock to the three.

"But Khushi doesn't know anything about modeling.." Maya said.

"What?.. No way.. my Khushi bitiya will not wear such short dresses.." Dadi said frowning.

"Me?" Khushi blinked her eyes in shock.

"Please say yes.." Arnav pleaded Khushi.

"But I don't even know about this modeling and all and Arnav ji I'm not comfortable also in doing this.. I don't think I will be able to help you.." Khushi said.

"Khushi I will train you.. and it's not short outfits that will be given to you.. It's traditional bridal theme only.." he said trying to convince her.

"But why me?" she asked.

"Because you're my wife, my dear one and when we need help we only think about those who are close to us.." he said sincerely.

Khushi looked at Dadi and Maya to see their opinion, they weren't sure about this and she could see their disapproval, but sighing she turned back to Arnav and nodded her head.

"Yes?" Arnav asked with unsure growing smile on his lips.

"Yes.." she nodded her head.

"Thank you.. thank you.. thank you so much!" Arnav cupped her face and kissed her right and left cheek repeatedly making Khushi's eyes widen in shock.

"Stop eating me!" Khushi whined trying to push him, Arnav gave one last peck on her nose smiling.

Dadi and Maya giggled, while Khushi looked away embarrassed with their teasing smiles.

"So you have to come with me to AR to see if the lehenga fits on you or we will have to make some amendments.." Arnav said still smiling.

"If you stop eating me with your mouth, then only I will be alive to go with you to AR.." Khushi glared at him, caressing her cheeks.

"Okay sorry.. I couldn't control my excitement.." he said holding his ears. Khushi almost choked on her food and blinked her eyes, "Are you real or fake ASR? Sorry and thank you in same day.."

"It's only for you I'm Arnav.. Arnav whose life belongs to Khushi and Arnav doesn't have problems in saying Sorry or thank you to his Khushi.." he said.

Khushi kept staring at him while he looked back at his plate.

Rabba vee.. Rabba vee..

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

AR..

While Arnav went to talk with few partners, he told Khushi to wait at his cabin for him.

"I just said to help Arnav ji.. but I'm so nervous.. What if I spoil his show? What if everything goes wrong? I will spoil his reputation also.. I don't know anything about this modeling and all.. how will I be able to do this?" she bit her nails nervously on her seat.

Someone knocked the door and she frowned, "Why is Arnav ji knocking when it's his cabin only?"

"Come in.." she said rolling her eyes and prepared to attack him with questions, when she saw another man coming in.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Are you the model?" he asked looking her from top to bottom with surprise and shocked expression.

"Yes.." Khushi nodded her head.

"Not bad.." the man smirked staring at her body lustfully.

"Let's go.. we need to expose your real beauty hidden inside these behen ji clothes.." he said and wanted to hold her hand when Khushi slapped him hard.

"Watch your tongue when you talk with me.. in one minute, I can fire you from this work OK?" she pointed her index finger to him angrily.

"So..sorry.. ma'am.." even without knowing that Khushi is ASR's wife, he apologized seeing the intensity of anger in her eyes and the pain on his cheek.

Arnav came inside and looked at them confused, "Sam what's wrong?"

"ASR I came to ask about the model.." Sam replied side glancing at Khushi with fear in his eyes.

"Go downstairs for a while.. and check if the everything is ready for the photoshoot.." Arnav said, "She's coming in a while.."

Khushi looked at him with big eyes, does he expect this man to photoshoot her?

As soon as Sam left, Khushi looked at Arnav angrily with tears in her eyes.

She walked towards him and started beating on his chest crying, "You're disgusting.. I should have never accepted this offer.. I thought to help you but you want to send me to those men who will look at your wife lustfully.. I said I'm not comfortable in wearing shorts clothes still you want to photoshoot me without clothes.. aren't you ashamed of yourself.. You call me your wife.. Is this what you do with your wife? I hate you.. I hate you.. I don't want to do this anymore.. I will not do this.."

Arnav held her hand stopping her from beating him, "Wait Khushi.. once I thought you to be a golddigger but you're not, today you're doing same mistake with me.."

"You're accusing me with no proofs and based only in what you thought.." he said, "Yes Sam was asking for model who's coming here to do photoshoot work and it had nothing to do with the fashion show in which you're going to participate.. I would never send you to other men, in fact I only told you that I would train you and it's not no one but me who's taking your responsibility.."

Khushi blinked her eyes realizing her mistake, "He.. he was talking about another model.."

"Hmm.." Arnav nodded, "Did he misbehave with you?" he clutched his fist.

"He talked shameless things and looked at me in a way I didn't like.." Khushi said.

Arnav gritted his teeth hearing this, he stormed out of the cabin and caught Sam descending the stairs. Arnav pulled him back and held his collar harshly, "How dare you misbehave with my wife Sam?"

"Is she your wife? I'm sorry ASR.. " Sam asked with wide eyes.

Arnav punched on his face angrily, "You mean if she was another woman, you wouldn't be sorry.."

Arnav started beating him and Sam groaned in pain descending the stairs to escape from Arnav, but Arnav held him harshly and descended the stairs with him and threw him to the floor, "I won't spare you today.."

Arnav started kicking him brutally, while Sam cried in pain shouting for help. Khushi rushed downstairs hearing the screams, she held Arnav's arms crying, "Stop it Arnav ji .. he's bleeding.. Arnav ji please stop beating him.."

"I won't.. he dared to misbehave with you.. he will see my worst today.." Arnav lifted Sam in one move and started dragging him to the near table scaring the employees, he made Sam lay on it and started his beatings again.

Khushi looked around sobbing to find Aman but he was no where to be seen. Khushi ran to Arnav again, "Please stop this Arnav ji.. I'm scared.. please.. mujhe bohot darr lag raha hai (I feel very scared)"

Arnav stopped and he left Sam harshly, signaling the guards to take him away.

Khushi was crying badly seeing the state of Sam bleeding. Arnav turned to her and hugged her tightly hiding her face on his chest, "Shh.. it's okay.."

She buried her face on his chest more, crying bitterly wetting his shirt.

Arnav lifted her in his arms and took her back to his cabin. He made her sit on his chair and made her drink water to which she nodded sideways, her hands were trembling and body numb after witnessing such a fight, and the blood oozing out of Sam.

"I'm sorry.." he cupped her face gently, "I didn't mean to scare you, it's just I couldn't control my anger after he misbehaved with you.. I'm sorry Angel.."

Khushi sobbed, "What was the need to do this? Why did you have to beat him so brutally?"

"He will be fine.." Arnav rolled his eyes.

Khushi was about to speak, but he cut her off, "He deserves that only Khushi.. don't try to speak in his defense.. don't know with how many models of mine he has behaved unprofessionally.."

"I'm so scared.. I have never seen you like this.." she sobbed again shivering.

Arnav took a deep breath and lifted her, sitting on his chair then he made her sit on his lap, rubbing her shoulders to calm her down, "Sorry Angel.. I'm so sorry.. I will try to control myself next time.. Shh.. stop crying.. I can't see your tears.. please don't cry.."

He made her lean on him, and whispered sweet nothings to make her stop crying.
