Part 39B

In the evening, Khushi came back from temple HP informed her that Arnav is back. She went to the room immediately. Arnav is standing at the poolside lost in his thoughts.. She went and hugged him from behind startling him.

Arnav made her free and turned to her.

" When did you came ??" asked Khushi.

" An hour back" said Arnav "Hp said you went to temple"

"Haan Nani wants me to accompany her." said Khushi" Did you meet Di ??"

Arnav nodded his head "Seems like it is impossible to make Di believe about jiju now. She is not even ready to listen his name."

Khushi patted his back assuringly "Everything will be fine Arnavji"

" I hope it won't be too late for Di to realize her mistake. Otherwise don't know what will be jiju's reaction" Said Arnav.

" Nothing of that sort will happen. You don't worry" said Khushi " I have work in the kitchen. I will leave now"

In the kitchen, both Khushi and Payal are preparing dinner when HP came there.

"Khushi Bhabi. Dhruv bhaiyya is calling you" said HP.

"What he want now ??"asked Khushi irritated.

" I don't know Bhabi" said HP. Khushi went from there reluctantly.

When she entered the room, Dhruv is sitting on the bed watching TV.

"Did you call me ??'asked Khushi.

"Haan. Close the door and come near to me" almost ordered Dhruv.

"Why ??"asked Khushi with a kind of fear.

" What Why ?? Don't you know what a couples do in closed room baby." Said Dhruv coming near to her.

Khushi looked at him shocked understanding his underlying meaning.

"Wh...a.t are you saying ??" stammered Khushi and tried to move from there but Dhruv caught her hand.

"Leave me" said Khushi struggling to free her hand.

" Why ?? I am you husband Khushi. I have right on you. Why are you behaving like this ??" said Dhruv angrily and pulled her towards him but she continued to struggle in his arms.

"What's your problem haan ?? You are avoiding me from the time I came back" said Dhruv and was going to kiss her when Khushi pushed him and slapped hardly on his cheek.

Dhruv was shocked by the slap and looked at Khushi in anger.

"How dare you Khushi ??" shouted Dhruv angrily.

" Is this the way to talk with your husband ??"asked Dhruv angrily.

" I am not your wife. Did you get that ?? I am now married to Arnavji. He is my husband. Not you" said Khushi angrily.

Hearing their shouting noises, everyone came there soon. They all heard the last sentences of Khushi stating as Arnav's wife.

Seeing Arnav, Khushi ran to him, hugged him crying. Dhruv is puzzled to see this.

"Di. What is this ??"asked Dhruv. Anjali and Nani looked at each other helplessly.

"Is it true ?? Khushi is bhai's wife now"asked Dhruv. Anjali and Nani lowered their heads while mami said "Haan Dhruv. It is true. Khushi married to Arnav bitwa after your death.. I mean when you were kidnapped"

It took sometime to realize the meaning of Mami's words. It is very hard for him to digest this fact. Soon he acted like he fainted and all rushed to him.

Akash and Nk laid him on the bed. Khushi is still in Arnav's arms. Anjali had tears in her eyes while others were concerned for him.

NK examined Dhruv and said "Nothing happened to him. He just fainted due to shock"

" There is no any problem naa" said Anjali.

"We can't say it until he regains conscious. I have given him sedatives. Let him take rest." said NK

Everyone went out of the room and moved to hall.

"Khushiji. What is the need say truth to him ?"asked Anjali angrily.

Khushi too got angry now "Then what should I do ?? Your brother tried to force me thinking me as his wife. "You want me to be silent and entertain him. "

Anjali left from there angrily to Dhruv's room. Arnav took Khushi to their room.

It was after two hours, Dhruv regained conscious. He looked at Anjali who is sitting beside him. she helped him to sit on the bed.

" Di. Is it true ??"asked Dhruv.

Anjali nodded her head "I am so sorry Dhruv. That time Khushiji went into depression. Seeing her like that, her father had heart attack thinking about her life. So me and Nani thought about it and convinced Khushiji and Chote for marriage. I am so sorry"

Dhruv closed his eyes and said "I really loved her a lot Di but now..."

" This is all because of me. Forgive me Dhruv" said Anjali crying.

" No Di. Don't apologize to me. There is no fault of yours. Now you go and take rest" said Dhruv and made Anjali leave from there.

As soon as Anjali left, his face turned into red with anger.

" Khushi and bhai got married. How is it even possible ?? Dammit, if I would have concentrated on home too than only my business, I would have definitely came to know about this and won't let this marriage happen. Now everything went out of my hands" thought Dhruv..

In Arshi's room:

Khushi is crying hugging Arnav.

"Arnavji. He tried to..." said Khushi still crying.

" Shh Khushi. Forget it." said Arnav consoling her. She finally crying a lot got exhausted and slept on his shoulder.

Arnav sighed seeing her and made her sleep on the bed. He covering her with a blanket.

The day went all gloomy in the RM. Anjali denied coming to dinner downstairs and Dhruv too. Everyone don't know what to do.

The next day:

Shantivan is very silent when they all heard a loud voice calling for Anjali. Everyone came into the living room only to see an angry Shyam standing.

" What happened ?? Why are you shouting ??"asked Anjali who came there.

" I never thought you will do this" said Shyam angrily.

"What happened jiju ??"asked Arnav.

"Why are you asking me Arnav ?? Ask your sister. She will say" said Shyam angrily.

" What do you mean ??"asked Anjali.

" Don't act smart Anjali. What do you think that I don't know what you are upto ?? " said Shyam then turning to Arnav said "Salesaheb. Your sister went to doctor yesterday for aborting my child. "

Everyone gasped hearing this while Anjali has no emotions in her.

"Anjali Bitiya. Is it true ??"asked Nani.

"Yes Nani" said Anjali.

"Why Di ??"asked Arnav still couldn't believe.

"Because I don't want to give birth to this man's baby. I am even disgusted that I am bearing this man's baby. I hate him and his baby. So I went for abortion and the doctor agreed for my abortion today" shouted Anjali..

All looked at her shocked for her answer. Shyam had an mixed emotions of anger and pain.

"Anjali Bitiya this is your baby too" said Mami.

" No don't even try to convince me. I am going for abortion today." Said Anjali.

"Dare you Anjali. If you abort my baby, then the consequences will be severe. I will complaint to police against you and your whole family. I will make sure you all will be behind the bars and even the doctor who will go for abortion" said Shyam angrily.

Everyone looked at him wide eyed. Now this got Dhruv's attention who is enjoying this drama. It is he who instigated Anjali to abort the baby.

"Don't think I can't do that. I can do anything when it comes to my baby." Said Shyam then turning to Anjali "Anjali. When you doesn't want my baby, it's ok. I will take away my baby as soon as it comes into the world. No need for you and your family to lookafter him/her. I will take care of my baby"

Anjali thinking for a while said "Fine then. Take your baby after I deliver, I don't even want to see your child's face"

Shyam was hurt by her words but nodded his head "Be careful" and left from there.

After he left, everyone looked at Anjali angrily. Dhruv came there" I am with you Di."

" I know Dhruv. Only you can understand me. " said Anjali, then giving a dejected look to everyone left from there leaving a startled family behind.

It was in the afternoon when nani came to Arnav's room. Khushi is there arranging clothes in the wardrobe.

"Khushi Bitiya. Where is Chote ??"asked Nani.

" Nani he went out saying he has an important work" said Khushi.

" Oh. I thought to talk with him" said Nani.

" Regarding what Nani ??"asked Khushi.

" You have seen bitiya how Shyam talked today. What if he really complaints to the police ?? I am thinking Chote to ask apology on our behalf and convince him not to go to police" said Nani.

Khushi gave an unbelievable look at Nani and said "Why should Arnavji go Nani ?? Why should he apologize for what Di did ??"

Nani looked at puzzled for sometime" Bitiya. I thought that...."

"What you thought Naniji to make Arnavji always a scapegoat. From the time I came into this house, I am observing, everyone always wants Arnavji to fulfil their needs but when it comes to caring and loving him, no one does it. Di is elder than Arnavji, then why should my husband apologize for her behaviour ?? She is not any small girl that she doesn't know the consequences of her deeds.. Even I am surprised Nani why will you show more love on Dhruv even after knowing he is not your own grandson" said Khushi with a rage.

Nani looked at Khushi shocked. The truth until now only she and Arnav knows is splitting from Khushi's mouth.

" I know everything Nani" said Khushi.

" I never wanted Dhruv to feel as stranger. I promised to my daughter that I will take care of Dhruv too just like my own grandson" said Nani.

" That doesn't mean you neglect your own grandson" said Khushi.

" Chote is always more mature than his age from the childhood. So I thought he will understand but never thought he too needs love. I am sorry Bitiya" said Nani and went from there.

"Khushi!! I am tired. Is it necessary to buy all this stuff now ??"said Nithya.

" Ofcourse. It is necessary. What do you think ?? After baby comes into this world, you will have time to buy all this. Even you won't have time for yourself, so it is better to buy all the baby stuff now" said Khushi.

Khushi and Nithya both came to the shopping mall to buy baby stuffs for Nithya's baby. Now they are in the restaurant for having some refreshments.

They both are talking about some random things when two pair of eyes watched them shocked. It is none other than Dhruv.

" So this is how Khushi came to know about me. Dammit why did everyone end having child with me ?? First that Nisha and now this Nithya. I have get rid of Nisha but I have to do something with this Nithya" thought Dhruv.. Nithya still din't know that Dhruv is alive. Arshi din't inform her considering her health.

After three days:

In AR Office, Arnav is in his cabin when Khushi entered. She sighed seeing him still working.

"Arnavji. You are still working. It is time for Lunch" said Khushi.

" Almost over Khushi" said Arnav flipping the pages of the file.

Khushi came near him" I am hungry. Let's go"

"You go and eat. Who stopped you ?"asked Arnav

"I want to eat with you"said Khushi. When Arnav gave a sharp look at her, she said, "I mean as a friend"

Arnav closed the file hearing it and said "Ok. Come."

Just when they were about to go out for Lunch, Arnav's mobile rang. It was from Anjali.

" Chote. Come to home. Now!!" almost ordered Anjali and disconnected the call.

"What happened Arnavji ??"asked Khushi.

" I don't know but Di asked to come home. Seems like something happened" said Arnav.

" Ok. Let's go then" said Khushi and both of them moved out.

When they were at the parking lot, they have seen even Akash coming.

" Akash!! Are You too coming" asked Arnav.

" Haan Bhai. Di called me and asked to come urgently" said Akash.

" Even she said the same to me" said Arnav.

The trio felt something big happened in the house and rushed in the car.

IN RM:

As soon as they entered, they saw a visibly angry Anjali and confused others.

"Di. What happened ??"asked Arnav.

Anjali came near him furiously, hold his collar and asked "Why did you do this ??"

Arnav looked at her confused.

"Di. what are you saying ??"asked Arnav.

" I never thought you will do this to me Bhai" said Dhruv too faking his tears.

" What happened now ??"asked Khushi irritated by the siblings.

"Anjali, Dhruv don't blame unnecessarily without knowing the truth." Said Nani then went towards Arnav, "Chote. Today after you went to office, a phone call came to Dhruv. That person said it is you who kidnapped Dhruv all these days and tried to kill him"

Arnav , Akash and Khushi's eyes turned wide hearing this.

"What ??" said Arnav "Unbelievable. Why would I do that ??"

" When Dhruv asked the person same, he said you too love Khushi from earlier. So, to make her yours, you kidnapped Dhruv" said Mami.

Arnav is surprised hearing this.

"Tell me Chote. Why did you do this ?? For this mere girl, you kidnapped and tried to kill your brother" said Anjali.

Now, it is time for Arnav to Shock. His Di is thinking that he kidnapped Dhruv seriously. He looked at Khushi who is keeping an expressionless face. This feared him more.

" If you really loved Khushi, you could have said to me once Bhai, I would have happily sacrificed her to you" said Dhruv faking pain.

" See Chote. He is ready to sacrifice his love to you and you.. I am disgusted even to say you are my brother." Said Anjali angrily and raised her hand to slap Arnav but couldn't as someone held her hand firmly.

" Don't you dare to slap my husband Anjali" said Khushi who held Anjali's hand angrily.

Everyone looked at her dumbstruck.

"Khushiji. You know what he did. He separated you from Dhruv" said Anjali.

" Never. Arnavji can never do this. I trust him completely" said Khushi.

" But Khushiji..." Anjali is going to say something but Khushi showed her hand to stop.

" I am not going to listen a word against my husband. I am not like you Anjaliji who won't trust husband" said Khushi hitting Anjali's nerve.

"What do you mean ??"asked Anjali angrily.

Khushi neglected Anjali, went near Dhruv"So, someone called you and said your brother is behind your kidnapping and you believed him. wow. Great "mocked Khushi.

" How could anyone believe blindly a mere phone call ?? Didn't you all know what is your Chote, Arnav bitwa, Bhai ?? The person who is working hard day and night to earn money for you and keep you happy, Do you think he will do this.. If you all are happy, safe in this house, then it is only because of my husband. Instead of knowing who called the person, you are blaming my Arnavji" Said Khushi angrily then turning to Anjali said" Mrs. Anjali Jha. No one should get a sister like you..You have confirmed naa that my husband is the kidnapper hearing the call. Fine then. Call the police, not because I don't trust my husband because to prove that you are wrong. Police will tackle this matter now and finally the real culprit who is behind the kidnapping. Until then no one dare to blame my Arnavji"

All looked at her perplexed for her burst out. Khushi took hold of Arnav's hand and took him to upstairs but turned and looked at Anjali.

" One more thing Anjaliji. It is last time I am warning you. Don't ever blame my husband for everything. I won't tolerate it. If I see doing this next time, I won't even think a minute to throw you and your little brother out of this house" warned Khushi and left from there leaving a shocked family and fuming Dhruv.

It was in the evening. Khushi looked at Arnav who is standing at the poolside from the time returned. She thought to leave him alone.

But when he is still standing there lost in his thoughts, she went near him.

" Arnavji" called Khushi placing her hand on his shoulder.

Arnav looked at Khushi. His eyes is moist with tears. Khushi gasped seeing them and hugged him to which he reciprocated.

" shh Arnavji. Don't cry" said Khushi.

" Thanks Khushi" said Arnav coming out of the hug..Khushi looked at him confused.

" For trusting me Khushi. For a moment, I thought you will doubt me. I would have di................" he couldn't continue as Khushi placed her hand on his lips.

" Never say that Arnavji. I trust you completely" said Khushi " But Di.."

" Even I was shocked hearing it. How can she even think low of me ?? It really pained me a lot. but I am ok. If you trust me, then I don't care what others think about me" said Arnav.

"Ok fine. Leave all this. you promised me to take for dinner" said Khsuhi trying to change his mood.

"ofcourse Khushi. Come on. Get ready. We will go" said Arnav.

Khushi hugged him and said" Thank you Arnavji. I Love you"

" I Love you too Khushi" said Arnav.

Dhruv who is seeing all this fumed in anger. He thought to degrade Arnav in Khushi's eyes but she trust him completely. Now it is the time for his final plan. Enjoy this night how much you want both because tomorrow is bringing a big surprise for you both thought Dhruv.
