Part 13

Khushi didn't come out of the room for whole day nor did Arnav disturb her. He knew she needs time to come out of the shock which was given by him. Let her get relaxed. Khushi was thinking that how to handle the situation? If she let her mind go weak then she can't handle the situation. But if she balanced her mind then she could face it as a challenge. She was capable of doing that. She wanted to calm her mind. Sometimes a deep sleep helps us to refresh our mind and think positivity. She slept without thinking anything to decide about her current situation.

Next morning she came out all fresh. Not just to handle the situation but also to show how strong she was. She went to the Small Temple in the mansion and started her pooja. Doesn't she want to say thanks to Devi Maiya for giving this opportunity?

Arnav jerked from his sleep hearing bell sound which was raised by Khushi during her pooja. At first Arnav didn't get anything in his sleepy mind. He came down and saw Khushi was doing pooja. He was amazed seeing her. "So she is in action?". He stood there all smiling leaning on the coach. Khushi finished her pooja and looked at him. She didn't give any heed to him as if she didn't see anyone there. Arnav smirked seeing her doing that.

Arnav: Do you know you should distribute the Prasad to everyone instead of keeping it only for you.

Khushi: But it's not necessary to give it to the person who doesn't have a bath. She didn't even see his face and went uttering it with attitude.

Arnav was attracted by the divine "tinkling" sound of her ANKLET. He was lost in it. It feels so heaven. This is the atmosphere he ever dreamt of. It gives a homely experience which he missed a lot. He was amidst by the loneliness from long. He wanted to bind in this new sensation forever. This girly thing was far away from his life. He won't even get hungry if she will roam around him hinting by her anklet sound that "she is here".

Arnav left to his room with content smile. She looks calm. She is up to something. What if water got mixed up with soil? It will get its clarity by taking some time. Seems like Khushi's mind was back to it's clarity. It looks little danger. But he was not less. However, his life is going to be interesting in upcoming days.

Arnav was all set to go to office. He came to dining. As usual there was bread toast, omelet with orange juice for breakfast. He saw here and there. Obviously for Khushi. He went to her room and knocked. Khushi opened the door.

Arnav: Come to breakfast.

Khushi: I will have it later.

Arnav(smriking): Yah it will be good for you to stay away from me. Or else you will fall for me.

Khushi came out of her room banging the door looking at him like "ME?" She went to the dining and sat there with attitude. Arnav smirked at her. Khushi's face went to highly disorder manner seeing bread for breakfast.

Khushi (murmuring): Is this what called breakfast? He called me like he will serve a feast...

Arnav: you can ask Hari Prakash whatever you want. He will prepare it for you. Saying he left to office.

AR

Aman was roaming in his cabin restlessly. He was waiting for Arnav to get update about Khushi. What was her reaction when she saw Arnav? What did she say? And most probably what about Arnav? How is he? He loses his temper easily these days, that too in front of Khushi. He shouldn't have done anything wrong in frustration like when he went to GH. He sat on the coach and thought about their talks. That day after Arnav broke the tea poi by punching it.

Flash back.

Aman was dressing Arnav's wounded hand. Arnav was silent and gazing at somewhere. Aman realized that Arnav was thinking something which he couldn't get.

Aman: Arnav...

Arnav(cutting him): I hurt her.(he looked at Aman painfully) I have frightened her. (Stammering) she... she..cried. (he closed his eyes) I behaved like a Goon. I showed my worst side to the best thing which has ever happen to me. She was hurt. He gulped.

Aman: So you hurt yourself..??? (Arnav was silent.) why are you doing this unwanted stunt?

Arnav: She is running from me. That's what hurts. I have never been so scared of losing something in my life to this extent Aman.

Aman(calmly): She is going nowhere. She is coming to RM only.

Arnav(shocked): What???

Aman: Yah.

Arnav: But I heard that she is going as an attendant...

Aman: That was the only reason we can give, then only she would not get suspicious. Her family won't be so reluctant to send her to the unknown place if she stays with some family. So they would agree easily. It happened like what I thought.

Arnav: It's you, behind all this? (Aman nodded yes) But how my men missed it? I assigned a group of man to keep eye on her then?

Aman(smirked): Is there anyone in the world who can go against ASR's Aman? I stopped your men from action. They backed off when they got to know that I'm handling it directly.

Arnav(still in the same shock): But why?

Aman: I'm scared Arnav. I had seen a different and new Arnav in you. I was hell tensed when I got to know that Khushi was engaged. I didn't think, it would be good if you get to know everything. So I got in to it to stopping you from getting information. I thought to confess it before she comes to RM. But before that you maaaannnnn.... Tell me who told you about her job?

Arnav: Suraj.

Aman(chuckled): Ohh that big guy?? (pause) what are you feeling now?

Arnav(plainly): I'm happy that she is coming to me. But....

Aman: But???

Arnav: But she is coming unknowingly. If she knows the truth then she won't, definitely she won't.

Aman: Why are you reacting like you don't know her? You have three month to mend things. Relax.

Arnav: I don't think a "Holy Ghost" can be get mend in three months. (he chuckled painfully so did Aman) Will she really like me? (he gulped)

Aman: I'm sure, she will like you. (in mind) Or else I will make her like you.

Arnav(wearily) : What's there in me? There is nothing good with me as she has.

Aman(smirking): Just ask Khushi, She will also say like "what's there in me?". That's what human nature Arnav. We never realize our specialties. I can bet she will realize something good in you in some days. Now please take some rest and make up yourself to welcome her to your place.

Arnav nodded yes and went to his room.

Aman(self talk): "Holy Ghost" (chuckled) but only can get obsessed by "divine spell". I know what I should do to make her feel for you Arnav. You don't know, how powerful it will be. I'm not sure she will love you but I'm dame sure she will never hate you. He smirked.

His flashback got broke by the touch on his shoulder. Arnav was standing in front of him all smilingly. He stood hurriedly.

Aman: What happen Arnav? What about your "Holy Ghost?"

Arnav: What will the "Holy ghost" do? In fact you should worry about me instead of her. She is a warrior and her tongue is a dangerous weapon no one can escape from. I have to work a lot to face it. He smiled.

Aman(chuckled): Seems like you are enjoying?

Arnav: Why not? She looks so cute when she gets angry. It's urging me to pinch her rosy nose.

Aman(smiling): Looks like someone is getting more crazy? Be care full buddy. Your Holy Ghost may scratch your face if you do so in excitement.

Arnav: Yah. But I will do it one day for sure. He said smilingly.

Aman: However you guys are settled. It's more than enough for now. Hope you won't get angry on her at any cost.

Arnav: Angry? Not anymore.

RM

It was like hell, being at home doing nothing. Especially for Khushi. She was a working woman and also worked at home as much as she can. But in RM she was suffocating, sitting at one place. How long anyone could watch TV? And there was no Salman Khan movie in any channel. She couldn't imagine that she should pass her upcoming three months like this. She roamed whole house because she was bored.

She stopped when she came to the poolside which was having a small beautiful garden. She started watering plants singing a song "Aaja piya" with smile. It was really a refreshing feel. She turned off the tap and got stuck seeing Arnav was looking at her leaning on the French door plainly. Is this his room?

There was no expression in his face, seems like he was in some deep thought.

Khushi moves from there that's when she heard....

Arnav: Thanks.

She took another step without saying anything.

Arnav: Do you have any idea what you have done?

Khushi stopped in confusion. What she had done? Did she do anything wrong? Then why he said "thanks"?

Arnav: Until today no one entered inside my garden without my permission. (khushi looked at him nervously) You are the only person who watered my plants after my Mother (pause) that too singing her favorite song.

Ratna always used to sing that song for Arnav while making him sleep. Khushi was suffocating. What the hell? She sang the song just like that. But why should she sing the particular song leaving thousands of songs?

Khushi(stammering): I was bored. So that I watered.

She hurried from there didn't want to stay there anymore. Arnav stood there seeing her leaving. Why she always continues the work which was left by his mother? Doing pooja is normal one for a devotee like Khushi. But watering plants? And singing her favorite song? He never expected that she herself will come and do that by her own. Don't know what's waiting to surprise him more..............
