Part 13

After four days:

It was afternoon..Khushi returned from Lucknow. She saw no one in the house.. Everyone must be resting thought Khushi.. So she went to her directly, unpacked her luggage. After getting freshenup, she slept peacefully due to tiredness.

In the evening, Arnav straightely went to his room.. When he opened he saw Khushi who is sleeping cuddling a pillow with a cute pout.

Arnav lost himself for a minute seeing her. But soon came out of his trance.. How innocent she looks when sleeping but when she wokes up, she will turn into a devil.. thought Arnav

He silently went towards cupboard to take his clothes and escaped into the washroom. After sometime Khushi woke up, she saw the time which was already 5'o clock.. Cursing herself, she got up, freshened and went downstairs.. While going she saw Arnav at the poolside who is working on his laptop.

In the downstairs:

Anjali, Nani and mami were sitting in the hall chitchatting when Khushi came downstairs..

"Khushiji " exclaimed Anjali seeing her.. others too looked at her surprised. Khushi came downstairs.

"Khushi bitiya.. when did you came ??"asked Nani.

"In the afternoon Naniji.. You all were in your rooms.. So thought not to disturb you. Also I am tired with journey so I just took a nap" said Khushi.

"How did the marriage went Khushiji ??"asked Anjali.

"Perfect Di. I enjoyed a lot" said Khushiji.

"Khushi.. When did you came ??"came Payal with a tray of Pakoras in her hand.

"in the afternoon Payal"answered Khushi.

"Ok come let's go" said Anjali.

"Where ??'asked Khushi..

"Khushiji.. Today we are thinking to relish tea and Pakoras at the poolside.. I have already said HP to keep coffee there" said Anjali.

"But Di.. Arnavji is working there on his laptop" said Khushi.

"What ??"said Anjali in a disappointed tone..

"HHBB. Arnav bitwa is working there.. Now, if we go and make noise there, he will burst on us" said Mamiji.

"haan mamiji.. you are right" said Anjali too.

"Let us have our tea here" said Nani..Payal placed Pakoras on the table.

"Ok.. I will say to HP to bring the tea tray here" said Anjali..

"No problem Di.. I will bring it" said Khushi and went upstairs..

At the poolside:

Arnav is talking on the phone with Aman. Khushi saw the tray and took it. While she was returning she felt someone holding her pallu.. She thought it must be Arnav..

"Leave my pallu" said Khushi. Arnav who is on the phone din't hear it.

"Mr.Raizada. I said leave my pallu" said Khushi now with a harsh tone.

Hearing it Arnav turned and looked at her confused what she is saying.

Khushi now had enough. She turned around and slapped on his face hardly.

"How dare you Mr.Raizada to pull my pallu ??"said Khushi angrily while Arnav stood there dumbstruck with hand on his cheek.

Khushi still feeling the tugging on her pallu looked down at her pallu only to see it stuck in a plant. Arnav too followed her gaze and looked it.

Khushi opened her mouth into a big O and looked up at Arnav who was standing there with his bloodshot eyes.

"I am sorry" saying this she forwarded but accidentally the hot tea from the kettle in her hands fall on Arnav's chest. He hissed in pain due to hotness of coffee. Khushi was now scandalized of what she did. She closed her mouth with her palm.

Before she could say anything Arnav said gritting his teeth " Leave"

"woo.. I......"Khushi is going to say something but Arnav shouted on the top of his voice" I said Leave dammit"

Khushi scurried away from there fearing of his our burst.

She was going downstairs when she saw Anjali, Nani, Mami and Payal are coming upstairs. They came to her.

"Khushiji. What happened ?? Why did chote shout ?"asked Anjali tensed.

Khushi din't know what to say.. she felt ashamed of her act and feeling sorry for him.

"Di.. Woo Tea fell on Arnavji due to mistake.. So he shouted" said Khushi.

"Chote bhi naa. Shouts for spilling little amount on him" said Anjali thinking that only a little amount of tea fell on him.

Just then they heard Arnav shouting for HP. They all left for his room.

"Chote. Why are you making fuss for just a little amount of tea spilling ??"asked Anjali.

Arnav gave an unbelievable look at her. Then he removed his shirt.

"IS this little thing for you Di ??" said Arnav showing his chest reddened due to hot tea.

Everyone gasped seeing it and looked at Khushi who lowered her head. Thank god to his light beard which saved him otherwise her finger impressions were clearly visible to everyone.

"I will bring ice pack" said Payal and almost ran from there.

"Hey Bhagwan chote.. "said Anjali and came near him..

Payal soon brought ice pack.. Anjali took it but Arnav took it from her hands and said " I can do it by myself.. You all leave"

"But Chote.."Anjali is going to say something but Arnav said irritated" Di.. Plz I said all of you leave from here"

Seeing his angry avatar everyone left from there except Khushi. Arnav looked at her and said" Leave from here"

"woo I "Khushi is going to say something but Arnav caught hold of her wrist and threw her out of the room, shut the door on her face.

Khushi went from there sadly. She saw everyone in the hall.

"Di, Naniji. I am sorry. I din't mean to do it purpose fully but it accidentally fell on him. I will be careful from next time" said Khushi with guilt face.

Anjali and Nani nodded their heads.

At the dinner time:

Arnav came down for the dinner. Everyone are already present there.. He looked at Khushi who lowered down her head.

"Chote. How are you feeling now ??" asked Anjali.

"Fine Di" said Arnav.

No one tried to initiate a talk with him seeing his grumpy mood.

In the Night:

Arnav is in the room when Khushi entered with a small bowl in her hands. He felt her presence but ignored her.. she cleared her throat to grab his attention.

Arnav looked up at her.

"This is turmeric paste. It will heal your pain quickly."said Khushi extending him the bowl.

"What have you mixed in it now ??"asked Arnav

Khushi looked at him perplexed and said" I won't do that always. You got hurt because of me so I asked amma about any faster remedy and she said about this. I know very well how to rectify my mistakes"

" But I don't need any kind of paste" said Arnav immersing into his laptop.

"Atleast try this paste for once.. Amma said it will heal quickly" said Khushi.

"Chote" came a voice and both of them turned and looked at Anjali. She came inside the room.

"Chote. If Khushiji is saying it will heal quickly then why don't you try it" said Anjali.

"Di.. You Know I won't believe in all these" said Arnav.

"Atleast try once chote.. Khushiji made it for you with a lot of love" said Anjali.

Love !! she is the last person on this earth who loves me thought Arnav.

But not wanting his sister to suspect on their relation he nodded his head.

Anjali smiled, bidding them both good night went from there. Khushi extended the bowl to him.

"Keep it there" said Arnav. Khushi kept on the table.

Laad governor. Here I am requesting him and he is going on the hill thought Khushi and went to bed.

But still she din't sleep. She confirmed whether he applied the paste or not. She felt relief after seeing him applying it.

"Hey DM. Heal his wound quickly. You know I don't want anyone to suffer because of me " prayed Khushi to her DM.
