Not so innocent vixen - ArShi FF (completed)

s2 - chapter 6

Shyam scurried away from the scene as soon as Arnav's loud voice came in and stopped him mid-sentence. He had almost confessed having a hand behind shashi gupta's attempted murder! And before Arnav could confront him on his current position with Khushi, he ran away. He had to be better prepared for a comeback, for both, eliminating Arnav and winning 'khushiji' back!

Khushi's declaration of being intimate with Arnav had boiled his blood so much....

--*--

"Khushi, are you ok?" Arnav rushed to her descending the stairs, jumping two steps at a time. His heartbeats were so erratic, his breathing had become so difficult, the scene of Shyam holding Khushi, now that he knew how khushi felt about it, made his blood freeze in terror and anger! But shyam had run away and Khushi stood numb!

When Khushi didn't reply, he checked her arms, her face for any sign of any damage, but thankfully she was unscratched. Still, the vile creature Shyam had touched her, and probably she had gone in shock which is why she was mute, Arnav concluded.

"Khushi, sweetheart, please say something. Are you ok?" he pulled her in his arms to comfort her, resting her head near his heart. And that probably helped because she spoke,

"babuji...my babuji...he.." Khushi's incoherent words didn't make sense to Arnav and deciding she was still in shock, he picked her up and carried her upstairs to their room.

Devyani Raizada and Subhadra Malik were coming from their temple visit when they bumped into shyam, literally! Nani's face showed indifference, as she had been apprehensive of him ever since Khushi's allegations against him that night, but Subhadra's face lightened up.

"Arre damaji, where are you going so soon? you probably just returned. take rest" she said in her usual sweet tone filled with admiration, reserved for him.

"later. I am in hurry. hatiye raaste se (give me space)." he rudely dismissed her, to her shock, but when she didn't move from his way, he literally nudged her, lightly pushing her shoulders, to go away.

That was the first time dadi sensed something wrong. But then her mind immediately dismissed his behavior, thinking he must be in work pressure!

--*--

"What? You mean Shyam has something to do with your babuji's paralysis attack?" Arnav asked an emotional and hysterical Khushi, who had somehow managed to tell him what Shyam had almost confessed a while ago..he ignored her remarks that because of his shouting shyam stopped mid sentence and left from there.

"I am very sure now Arnavji! That monster is behind this! But you know what? enough of plans and steps. Let's skip all steps in between and finish him now. He has crossed all limits of civility, now it will be time for his punishment." Khushi said opening the locker and taking out the gun. there was murder on her head! And before Arnav could calm her down, his phone rang.

It was a call from the private detective working on gathering proofs against Shyam. He informed Arnav that he had finally traced one of the kidnappers and was very sure to make him cave in and spill the beans. He requested to wait for just 24 hours and by this time tomorrow, he ensured they would be able to press charges against Shyam!

Arnav heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Khushi, who was pacing up and down the room.

"Khushi, calm down, please. I know this is difficult, but we decided to play this game like him right? being cold blooded and calculative? jaldi mein galti hoti hain (people make mistakes in haste), sweetheart, we have waited for so long, let's just wait for another day. please?"

"Fine. But if your detective fails to come back by tomorrow, I am going to handle Shyam myself!"
