Do read the author's note at the end.

The howling of Arush and Arnavi on seeing their sibling betraying them for their angry Chichen(chicken) Papa brought Arnav out of his warmth shocked form.

Clearing his throat, he started the car again making Khushav's smile drop a bit who hid himself in his mother's chest.

Khushi's eyes brimmed with tears and behind Arjun could just heave a sigh of disappointment.

The journey continued silently for a while until Arnav had to stop the car nearby a Dhaba for a growling in hunger Maahi.

Maahi and Arjun along with Arush and Arnavi left for Dhaba while Arnav waited for Khushi and Khushav.

Opening the car door, he saw how Khushi was struggling to come out with a sleeping Khushav in her arms.

Involuntarily, his hands moved to them to held Khushav which was harshly shrugged by an angry mother Khushi.

Coming out, she stared at Arnav who was looking at her with an unknown anger and annoyance itched on his face.

I don't want my berries to be close to you and expect your love which you would never be able to give.

Khushi said meeting Arnav's eyes who felt hurt and offended but she needs to clear her point.

It will be too painful and heartwrenching for them to come out of it and I can't bear it. She added and walked to join the rest when Arnav blocked her path.

What do you intend to do Khushi? I hope you don't change your decision else..
He pleaded more than warning tone with a tinge of scaring one which was stopped in the mid by a fiery Khushi-

What else?
Han?
You will snatch my kids from me? She said giving him a small push and continued-

That's what you want to say?

He held her hand when she tried to give him another push and hissed with gritted teeth-

Yes. Thats what I exactly mean.  I will snatch them and.....

He stopped seeing tears oozing out of her eyes. He gulped closing his eyes lest he looses his control on his anger and make her cry some more. 

She looked at him tearfully and said in agony-

You are a monster Arnavji, a monster. I feel disgusted that I lo.....

His head shot to her direction hoping against hope to hear what she left incomplete, only to hear something which made his pumping organ thud with a burning sensation.

You know what?
You want to keep me just to satisfy your ego.

To feed your ego that the wife who ran away, now you have brought her back and caged again in your loveless life.

His nose flared along with the increased pace of his gritting teeth and the eyes started changing with red hues surfacing when he heard her saying-

You are too selfish Arnavji and now I will be selfish too.

I have always been enough to feed my children and have the best upbringing for them. 

But now they will enjoy the perks of being Raizadas. They will enjoy being the children of Arnav Singh Raizada.

The sudden smirk surfacing her face with her next set of words made his burning heart, bleed now, with her words sinking more into his mind-

They would get whatever they want at your their father's expense and you would get nothing in return.

The top most would be their love. I won't let my kids love you.

She hissed finding him clutching her arms harshly and the intensity of his words made her gasp.

You can't stop them loving me Khushi.

She looked into his eyes searching for a tinge of adoreness and a small smile curled her lips when he said pointing towards a sleeping Khushav-

He already loves me.

Yes, he did say that but with a smirk displaying a challenging look more than a father's joy.

And does it affect you? She countered back adding

You are so selfish. You want them to love you, why?

Wiping off that smirk something akin to cruelty surfaced his face and then jerking the mother-son duo and caging them both in his arms, he spoke devilioushly-

So that I can hurt them, eventually you.

She stood numb, aghast and caged in his arms along with their son with what she heard and remained the same while he continued speaking venomous words-

It would be my payback to you for choosing them over me. You chose them even after knowing how much I hate kids.

You left me for them. He pushed her harshly this time breathing fire and turned around grasping the intensity of his very own cruel sets of words,for the first time remembering his chickens face instead of his wife when he heard her-

You are a bastard Arnavji.

He turned around stupified hearing something like this from his submissive wife but found his chickens mother there instead.

She came face to face against him and shouted with her anger and pain reaching its peak-

If you hated kids that much then you shouldn't have touched me. You need not to have s** with me that too without any protection.

And then with a mocking laugh she said with her fingers poking his chest Where his blood pumping organ lies-

But you just needed to fulfil your lust and needs. That's why it was always S** for you and not love making like you used to say it. Now, I understand it. 

His eyes met hers sharply with warning to stop but she was too hurt to be scared.

She breathed harshly clogging the painful scream in her throat and continued-

And you want me back just to satisfy your ego, lust and needs.

Why?  To save your image by not engaging yourself with any woman but your wife.

This had had enough effect on him to loose all his control and he shouted in sheer anger-

Ennnnnoooougghh!

Enough you said dammit.

You have gone crazy.

And you have become more heartless to even think of hurting the feelings of kids, your very own kids to be precise. She shouted aloud too and then both heard the loud wail of a scared Khushav whose parents fights and screams had terrified him in his sleeping form.

Khushi started cradling her baby while Arnav kept looking at her painfully. He had never expected her to think so cheap of him. She named his feelings as lust and need today. Though, she wasn't wrong wholly. It was a need but lust?

She thinks he used her and is taking her home to continue using her. Now, that made something break inside him and what the hell he said about those kids?

He isn't that cruel to do that with any human and kids are so far from that but he said that, about those three toddlers but why?

Just to satisfy his ego?

How could he?

He felt ashamed and was cussing over whatever he spoke in his ego and anger and there while cradling her child in sleep again, she felt helpless and too hurt to even think of reconciling her kids with her husband.

This man over here tends to hurt his own blood, his own part. He needs help. He is not normal.

But then a part of her poked its little finger and whispered-

He needs love. Love of his kids and wife and vice-versa. Stick to your mission and win for the sake of your kids and your husband.

She closed her eyes too tired to come to a conclusion and he closed his eyes too shameful to seek forgiveness for his words.
