Not so innocent vixen - ArShi FF (completed)

S3 - Chapter 11

Quick note: major drama ahead, brace yourselves. Enjoy reading :)

--*--

It was probably the effect of medicines that Arnav had been sleeping even as Khushi did her packing and left for Mumbai. Once again, her resolve was tested to fall weak but after their argument this morning, she was once again reminded that he still hadn't realized what damage his ego was causing to their marriage. And she will make him realize that, by maintaining these distances between them...

Shital had seen Khushi seating in Prem's car and leave, along with a travel bag and she smiled in joy. So, Khushi left the house? Awesome! Now just one last push and she will be Mrs. ASR! Shital smirked and then hissed in pain as her cheek still hurt after Khushi's slap! Gosh, that frail looking girl really had power!!!

She deliberately covered her face with a scarf and went to Anjali's room,

"Di, can I come in?" she asked, knocking on the door

"Shitalji, aayiye na(please come in). What happened? All ok?" Anjali asked with concern

"No di, I mean, I came here to say bye to you. I and Aarav are leaving." She said with fake sadness

"What? but why? and why is your face covered in- oh my god, who did this to you?" Anjali observed the obvious sign of a slap on shital's face

"No-nothing di, I mean Khushi had a right to be mad at me. After all, I am Arnav's close friend na? So, she doesn't like me. But it's ok, I will leave from here. At least then she will come back."

"What do you mean come back?"

"Khushi left the house and went with Prem" Shital dropped the bomb

"Khushiji left the house? With Prem?" Anjali repeated same thing in a question, not believing what she heard

"Which idiot told you Khushi bitiya left the house Anjali bitiya?" Devyani Raizada entered Anjali's room, "whoever is spreading this rumor, that person is seriously delusional, you shouldn't believe such people or be in their company" Nani added, throwing a meaningful look at Shital

Just then they heard Arnav's distressed voice calling out for Nani and she rushed to his room

.

The scene in front of her was shocking, the room was a mess, with clothes from the almirah scattered everywhere and Arnav sat by its door, clutching his head

"Chote? What happened? What's all this?" Nani reached near him, and he broke down

"She left me Nani. When I opened my eyes, she was- how can she Nani? She wanted a divorce and when I said no, she left. Mere aankhon ke samne meri khushi mujhse dur ho rahi hai Nani (my khushi is going away from me). That Prem is taking her away." Arnav cried like a small child and Devyani Raizada could see those were tears of heartbreak. Tears of repentance were still a bit away! And she will do this last bit for him and her Khushi bitiya!

"toh aapne kabhi ye socha ke aapko aapki dost ke sath dekh kar unhe bhi aisa hi laga hoga (So, did you ever think how she must have felt when you were spending time with your friend)? When you were boasting of your close-friendship in a way to demean her? And don't deny Chote, I am your nani, I could see through your manipulative ways." Nani said in a confronting tone. No matter how grown up a son or a grandson is, showing them the right path never should stop!
