Part 33

IN RM:

Payal and Khushi are in the kitchen while Anjali and others are resting. Khushi saw some of the ingredients are missing. She informed about it to Payal and came into the hall to give the list to HP.

HP is going out when Khushi stopped him.

"HPji. You need to bring all these" said Khushi giving the paper to him.

"OK Bhabi. I will bring them" said HP.

"Where are you going now ??"asked Khushi.

"Bhabi. Arnav Bhaiyya's back is paining. So he asked me to bring tablets" said HP.

Arnavji's back is paining worried Khushi.

"HPji. Just bring these ingredients. No need to bring tablets. I will take care of Arnavji" said Khushi.

HP nodded his head and left from there while Khushi dialed her mother's number.

In Arnav's room:

Arnav is sleeping on his stomach. His back is paining badly as he slept on sitting position in chair for whole night. He send HP to bring meds for it.

The door opened with a sound. He thought HP must be returned back with his meds. He thought to have a massage on his back with HP

"Come HP. Give me the tablets. Also plz massage my back with any balm" said Arnav..

"That is why I came here "came a female voice and Arnav looked up only to find Khushi with a tray in her hand.

"You !! What are you doing here ?? Where is HP ??"asked Arnav sitting on the bed.

"I will massage your back with this thel(oil)"said Khushi.

"What the "said Arnav..

"Not what the.. Thel(oil).. This will help you to get relief from back pain. My Amma will molish papa's back whenever he has pain sitting for long hours in shop." Said Khushi.

"No. I don't need any oil. HP will bring tablets and I will be fine" said Arnav.

"Don't be stubborn Arnavji. I asked HP not to bring tablets. It is not good to take tablets for small pains. You are going to apply this and now" said Khushi curtly.

Arnav looked at her with wide mouth for her guts to talk with him.

"We have life time to see each other. Now you remove shirt. I will apply this oil and massage your back" said Khushi,

"What ?? Remove Shirt !! Why ??"asked Arnav.

Khushi rolled off his eyes and said "Arnavji!! Pain is on your back not on your shirt. So remove the shirt"

Arnav kept an uncomfortable face. Seeing it Khushi said" Why are hesitating Arnavji ?? I am your wife. Don't be Shy"

Arnav looked at her surprised.. Did she lost her senses seeing Dhruv alive or what ?? thought Arnav.

"Arnavji. Quick. I have a lot of work in kitchen" said Khushi.

Sighing Arnav removed his shirt and laid on the bed. Khushi sat on the bed and taking oil in her fingers started to massage his back.

Arnav is controlling himself feeling her touch. Her touch is creating a havoc inside him.. He could feel Khushi's trembling fingers and her uneven breathing sounds.

Khushi is no less. She is feeling butterflies in her stomach and could hear her heartbeats aloud. Her breathing became heavy causing her goosebumps.

"Why are your fingers trembling ??"asked Arnav.

"Err...NO.. T..he..re is n..oth..ing .li..ke th..a..t" stammered Khushi.

"Really" Arnav asked but Khushi din't say anything and continued her massage when the door got opened suddenly.

Nani and Anjali entered into the room but were shocked seeing the scene before him. Even Arnav and Khushi felt embarrassed. Khushi got up from bed immediately and Arnav too got up wearing his shirt.

"Di. Naniji. Aap here" said Khushi stammering.

"Haan Bitiya. We need to talk with you" said Nani

"Woo Nani and Di. My back is paining, so Khushi is massaging with oil" explained Arnav to them.

"Arnavji. We both are wife and husband. There is no need to inform anyone what we do in our room" said Khushi.

Arnav looked at her with wide eyes.

"Khushiji. We came here to inform you something important" said Anjali.

"What is it Di ??"asked Arnav.

Anjali sighed and said "I know you both will definitely agree to this. So I have decided"

Arnav and Khushi were confused hearing it.. Arnav somewhere guessed what it might be but Khushi can't get head and tail.

" Now Dhruv returned back, his health is not soo good. Doctor advised rest for him and he is thinking Khushiji as his wife. So until he recovers Khushiji will stay in Dhruv's room and in this house as Dhruv's wife" said Anjali.

Arnav and Khushi looked at Anjali with wide eye.

Anjali then to Arnav" Chote. Stay away from Khushiji infront of Dhruv. He should not know about your marriage "then turning to Khushi said" Khushiji. You pack and shift your things to Dhruv's room"

Anjali and Nani are going back when Khushi said" I am not going to shift any room"

Both Anjali and Nani turned looking at Khushi surprised while she is just staring them. Arnav is looking at her surprised

"What ??"asked Anjali still not believing.

"You heard it Di. I am not shifting to any room" said Khushi in a cool tone.

Nani and Anjali looked at each other.

"But Why Bitiya ??"asked Nani.

" I am surprised Naniji. You are asking me Why ?? Don't you know being a married woman how it feels to live with other man ??"asked Khushi.

"Bitiya. Try to understand the situation" said Nani then turning to Arnav " Chote. Atleast. You make Khushi Bitiya understand"

Arnav is totally confused by Khushi's behaviour. He is standing blankly.

"Naniji. Don't expect that I will listen to Arnavji's words and accept. " said Khushi.

"Then What will we say to Dhruv ??"asked Nani.

"I don't know. You people manage him. He is not my concern" said Khushi in a careless tone.

"Khushiji. What rubbish is this ?? You are shifting to Dhruv's room and that too now" almost ordered Anjali now.

"NO. I am not" said Khushi too firmly.

Anjali is now pissed off and said" Chote. What are you seeing ?? Can't you see Dhruv's condition. Why are you staying numb..Ask your wife to stay in Dhruv's room. She is crossing her limits."

"Enough Di. It is not me who is crossing my limits it is you who is crossing the limits. Being a woman, how can you ask me to stay in other man's room. If you were in my position, will you stay in other man's room acting as his wife." asked Khushi angrily.

Hearing the voices, Shyam and Mami came there. They were surprised looking at the angry faces of Khushi and Anjali and Helpless faces of Arnav and Nani.

"What happened Rani Sahiba ??"asked Shyam.

"Shyamji. Atleast you convince Khushiji. She is not listening to us" said Anjali.

" Anjali bitiya. First tell us what happened ??"said Mami.

Nani explained their conversation with Arshi and Khushi's answer. Hearing it, even Mami and Shyam were surprised.

"Anjali Bitiya. Khushi is right. How can you ask her something like that ??"said Mami.

Anjali looked at Mami surprised" Mami. You too supporting her."

" Ofcourse Anjali Bitiya. Whatever Khushi is saying the truth ?? How can she stay in Dhruv's room ??"said Mami.

"Mamiji. She is Dhruv's wife" said Anjali.

" You are wrong Di.. I was Dhruv's wife. Now I am Arnavji's wife" said Khushi angrily.

"But Dhruv is thinking you as his wife" said Anjali.

'Then it's his problem not mine" said Khushi.

Anjali rushed to Arnav" Chote. You were with me when we met doctor. Don't you remember what he said ?? Doctor said that now Dhruv's head is injured, we shouldn't give him more stress which affects his health. Now if he comes to know Khushiji is your wife, he will get shock which results in degrading his health. He loves Khushiji a lot and can't take it "

All stood numb not knowing what to do while Khushi is just pissed off.

"But RS. We can't neglect what even Khushiji said to ??"said Shyam.

"Then what we have to do now ??"said Anjali irritated.

"Anjali Bitiya. You are worrying unnecessarily for this small issue." Said Mami.

"Small issue. Mamiji this is related to Dhruv's health and you are saying small issue" said Anjali.

"Let me complete my words. First of all, Dhruv's leg is fractured, so he can't stay in upstairs. So we will keep them in downstairs room. He can't come out of the room by his own, we will be there. So we can take care that he shouldn't know Khushi stays in Arnav Bitwa's room. We will say to Dhruv that she is now staying in his previous room" said Mamiji.

"Yes Ranisahiba. Mamiji is saying right" said Shyam.

"Haan Di. I agree with Mamiji" said Khushi

"Dhruv asked to clean his room. He doesn't want to stay downstairs. If he stays upstairs, he will definitely come to know Khushiji is staying in Chote's room. Also NK too is coming with him. What if he doubts and asks Dhruv about it ?? " said Anjali.

Everyone were confused what to do now..

Finally Mami came to a conclusion" Ok Anjali Bitiya. You don't want Khushi to stay in Arnav's room and Khushi doesn't want to stay in Dhruv's room. Then there is only one way ??'said Mamiji.

"What is it ??"asked Anjali.

"Khushi will stay in any other room. In that case, both of you doesn't have any problem" said Mamiji.

"OK. I agree with Mamiji" said Khushi thinking for a while..

"That's good idea" said Shyam too.

"But What will we answer to Dhruv when he asks that why are you not staying in his room ??"asked Anjali looking at Khushi.

"Then it's your problem. He is your little brother naa, you only manage him" said Khushi carelessly. Anjali got angry with her careless ness.

"Anjali Bitiya. We can manage something then" said Naniji.

Anjali nodded her head reluctantly.

"Naniji. If you won't mind, can I share room with you ??"asked Khushi. Though surprised , Nani agreed to it.

"Anjali Bitiya. The problem is now solved. Come let's go" said Nani and took Anjali from there.. Mami and Shyam too left from there.

Khushi turned to Arnav" Shall I massage your back ??"

Arnav looking at her confused" No. It is gone. There is no pain"

"Are you sure Arnavji ??"asked Khushi. Arnav nodded his head.

"When you are bringing him ??'asked Khushi.

"Whom ??"asked Arnav confused.

"Your little brother and my ex-husband "said Khushi not even liking to utter his name.

Arnav looked at her astonished" woo. Tomorrow. He is stubborn to come back to house. So we talked to doctor and he said we can take him but proper care should be taken. As Nk is already a doctor he said he will take care of him"

Khushi din't say anything. She went near cupboard to remove clothes while Arnav sat on the recliner working on his laptop.

While arranging clothes in bag, Khushi said" Arnavji. Appoint a nurse from him. I am not going to do any service for him. I am joining the office. So I will be busy and I don't have any intentions for doing service to him in any way"

Arnav simply nodded his head. He can't understand this girl. Why is she behaving odd ?? Something is wrong thought Arnav.
