Nk frowned following khushi gaze. There stood arnav and lavanya hugging each other. Arnav's one arm rested on her waist while another circled over her shoulder. Her face was buried on his shoulder and her arms surrounding him the same way as his. He gulped feeling khushi's broken state.

"Why is he acting like that? Khushiji that may be a friendly hug, don't take it wrong" Nk whispered slowly only for her to hear.

Khushi was not in the state to hear anything. If only nk came a second before he could have the chance to find the reason behind khushi's state.

"Will you please leave me alone?" She murmured in request.

"No khushiji, you're not in the state to manage yourself" He mumbled back in worry. 

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE. CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND A SIMPLE SENTENCE?" Khushi screamed making three persons to jump at their place.

Nk looked at khushi as if she had grown horns and arnav stood thunderstuck, lavanya literally shivered looking at the fury on khushi eyes.

"I'll always be there for you" Nk mumbled left the place.

Neither khushi acknowledged his words nor she saw him walking with fallen face. Her eyes only fixed on arnav and lavanya accusing them. Her fury grew no bound when she saw lavanya hand still placed on arnav arm.

"LEAVE" She bellowed eyeing lavanya.
Lavanya stood still with a frown and eyed arnav. When arnav squint in assurance she left the room with downcast eyes. Khushi waited until she disappeared and slammed closing the door.

Turning back with same fury she reached arnav in three strides and grabbed his collar "What the hell is happening Arnavji? What is she saying when I came? How could you hug her closely? Doesn't that right reserved for me? What is all this? Why are you behaving differently?" She screamed her queries on his face.

"You heard right. That is the truth, try to accept it. It's better we maintain our distance" He said releasing his collar from her hold and showed his back turning oher side. His mind replayed what happened few minutes back. His jaw clenched in fury.

Curling her fingers, she clenched her fist. She couldn't accept what lavanya spoke before nor she could accept arnav words. Her heart teared at the mere thought of their both words. Her tears flowing like a river without mercy. Her mind and heart recalled the words again and again.

"ASR, yesterday night it was me. It's me who helped you to reach your hotel room. I tried taking you home but you're drunk too much that I can't handle you" Lavanya spoke.

"What the!!"

"It had to happen long back but...Better than ever late" Her voice laced with happiness.

"Tell me it was wrong. You dropped me and came here right?" Arnav asked with bated breath.

"Sorry to not please you with the answer you expect. I loved yesterday night. You're one handsome hell ASR. I wish the night continued without dawn" Lavanya spoke in glee.

"How?" His voice didn't come.

"What how? It happened just like that. When I thought to leave the room you held my hand stopping me, what can I do then? I did what I felt right at the moment. When my love was reciprocated after long time how can you expect me to back off? You know I was nervous of your reaction, so I left at early morning. I am glad you remember us, I feared what if you forget what happened last night. Thank God it didn't happen" Lavanya blabbered yesterday events caressing his back.

He felt hundred deaths hearing her words. He felt as if his whole body was kept in boiler. His limbs forget its presence in his body. His brain froze on her words failing to hear what lavanya is saying.

He freaked out when he felt her lips close to her ears.

"LAVANYA" He roared but next moment his face calmed down when she hugged him forcefully and whispered something.

"Someone is watching and hearing whatever we're discussing in this room" His eyes widen and his brain came back to function mode only after her words.

She inched closer to his ear so that their talks will not be heard, still wounding his arms around his neck.

"It was me at night, but trust me nothing happened. I never betray my friends and never broke chamikili home. Someone from your family is doing this. They asked my help, when I refused they threatened me but only after few threatens I realised if not me then they'll not hesitate to contact another women. How can I let that happen? I can't trust unknown person entering into your lives destroying your life. So I willingly took the offer, in the name of favouring them I thought of collecting their details and reveal it to you. But I never know they're hearing whatever happening in your room. Either camera or transmitter is fixed here. They heard about your patch up and send me here to create misunderstanding. The message came as soon as chamikili left your room when di disturbed you. That's why I hug you on the living room told you to complete the hug. Behave as if you both are under fight. Now also chamikili is going to come here. I don't know how but she'll be here" She mumbled slowly on his ears.

All of sudden she realized she whispered on his ear for prolonged time and fear resurfaced of being caught by the culprit.

"WE LOVED EACH OTHER WHOLE NIGHT" That was the correct time khushi came running there.

Arnav brain busy processing on the new information in the mean time khushi going to slump down. When nk tried to console her and she couldn't digest the scene she shouted only then arnav and lavanya realised her presence.

The single sentence echoed on khushi's mind again and again her heart beat increased likewise her breathing. Her body shuddered showing its intensity. Due to the running she had from the garden to the room her hairs ruffled here and there hiding half of her face. Pushing it back behind her earlobe she grabbed his arms harshly turning him simultaneously.

"You want to keep distance from me right, I will do it. But say it seeing my eyes" She shouted in rage with determination meeting his eyes.

When he downcast his face, She raised it forcefully "I asked something. Say it on my face. Say it I'll go from here, I'll never show my face henceforth" She repeated stressing each and every word.

His breath hitched, he want to shout and scream at her not to go. But what can he do when his room was under scrutiny. His ASR brain run in all directions, somehow he have to convey the truth to her. He does not have the strength to see her devastated thinking about him when it was not even in the first place.

Exhaling he forcefully grabbed her arms "Yes Miss. Gupta" He screamed on her face. Khushi widen her eyes and next instant he pushed her. Before she could regain herself he marched outwards.

Instead of feeling angry, khushi mind captured something. Without wasting time she followed him as he enter into one of the unused guest room which was located on another side of RM.

Scrunching she followed him inside. Next second what she heard was thud. When she turned back for the source and saw him standing there with open arms.

The face which void of emotions sometime before was screaming love.

"Won't you come to your laadgovernor"

As if waiting for that sentence she ran crashed into his waiting arms forgetting every thing other than his love. Her heart realised he's up to something that's why he behaved strangely.

"Why did you say like that laadgovernor? Tell me it was wrong, whatever she said was fake. Tell me.." She questioned in mumble simultaneously beating him on his chest.

"It was fake, whatever I said was a lie" He whispered tightening his hold on her as much as possible. Khushi let out a deep breath in relief hugging him as tight as possible.

"I am always yours. No one can separate us" He whispered breaking the hug.

"Then why are you separating yourself from me now" She pouted taking fistful of his shirt.

"What to do, we are running out of time" Khushi turned serious as he closed the window of the room.

"You found out something right" She asked from his back.

"Yeah. Someone is spying on our room khushi. We need to be careful"

"What??" Khushi screamed opening her mouth in shock interrupting him.

"Haan. That's why we acted like that and that was the reason I shouted at you. I am glad you have brain" He chuckled at end which she ignored.

"Tell me clearly"

He recited whatever talk happened between him and lavanya. Khushi heard everything patiently.

"According to lavanya she's the one with you. I don't know Arnavji, but I feel something is amiss. Something is not fitting on the story she said. If the photo was true then what lavanya said was wrong, if lavanya was right then photo would be wrong" Khushi said staring nothing at particular.

Arnav frowned not getting head or tail of what is she saying "What? Nothing happened means nothing happened"

"Arnavji, the photo is intimate. Don't ask me in detail. I want to speak to lavanya, only then I can trust her"

"Khushi, she is already doing favour on us..." His sentence was cut short by his wife.

"Our doubt should be on everyone Arnavji. Didn't we learnt a lesson on shyam matter. My foremost doubt was on shyam and lavanya" She said taking pause for brief time.

"So you're going to act like we're are on some fight, so that the culprit will not plan some other nasty thing" Khushi asked for which he nodded in approval.

"But I want us to act normal infact more with pda" Arnav head snapped on her direction who till now pondering over khushi words.

"Why? To give them chance to separate us? Ridiculous khushi" He dismissed the idea right away.

"It is not ridiculous. They want us get separated if we do the same then they'll keep silent and we'll miss the chance to caught them red handed. But if we act as nothing happened then the culprit will do some other thing to separate us. Surely we'll get some clue Arnavji. Trust me it'll work" She explained and waited for his answer with hope.

Seeing him reluctant to agree, she added "I am better than you in these ideas laadgovernor. I am not asking you, I am ordering you" She commanded him pointing her index finger.

He wrapped his index finger on hers, pushing it down "So you have dare to command me?"

Khushi chuckled keeping straight face "Miss. Gupta has dare to deny you but Mrs. ASR has dare to do anything ASR" She replied in the same way.

He chortled pulling her in his arms "So caught the clue?"

She twisted her mouth in reply mocking him "Is it a clue? I am flattened Mr. Raizada. You always bad at that"

He put a scorn expression at her mocking.

"What, don't make face Mr. Raizada. Who would give that as a hint? Seriously Miss. Gupta" She laughed at his face.

"I never called you like that after marriage so I thought you'll understand, see you got the meaning and followed me here. So I am successful" He explained whining like a kid.

She pinched his cheeks in glee "So sweet"

"Khushi..." Arnav whined again and the room was again filled with laughter.

"Ok, enough of teasings. Don't tell this to lavanya?" She commanded him like a jealous kitten.

"Why?" He asked in amusement.

Having no idea about arnav thought she continued her reason "Don't share our talk and our new idea with anyone"

"Ok, It applies to you too" He agreed as he already planning to execute his wife plan.

"I did not share it with anyone" She pouted.

"Lie. You must have share it with NK right?" She nodded in reply.

"See equal, he and lavanya knows what happened till now but that was not going to be the case henceforth. I'll not share it with lavanya vice versa" He explained patiently and she accepted it without denial.

"Payal why are you looking dull?" Aakash questioned pushing his glass up on his nose.

"Khushi is on some problem aakashji. She looks pale from the morning and I saw her in garden with nk, she cried. I don't know what it was. I think she and Arnavji had fought" Payal expressed her worry.

"They both are matured payal. They know how to handle their relationship. If it go out of hands we'll interfere until then leave it on their own" Aakash assured typing something on his laptop. While payal frowned not convinced by his answers.
