Rabba Ishq Naa Hove - Season 1

Part 21

Khushi was very silent in the entire journey from the godown to Laxmi Nagar. Arnav kept stealing glances of her while driving. She didnt even acknowledge it. When he parked the car, she fiddled with the door to unlock it and leave but he was very intelligent enough in locking all the doors from his end.

Khushi (Angrily): Open this door.
He didnt agree, kept watching her efforts in unlocking the door but to no use.
Khushi: I said.. Open this door Arnavji..
Arnav: You are always in a hurry.. I dont like it. Remember we had a deal... I would forgive you only if you spend the whole day out with me. It never fulfilled because of those dumb goons. I am not taking you out today but at least wait for some time and talk to me.
Khushi: (Looked at him with anger): I dont want to talk to you.
Arnav: It was not a request.. Its an order!! Be polite and talk something nice... Which I would like to hear..

He was insane.. She stopped making efforts in unlocking the door and looked straight outside the car glass. She will remain numb and silent like this till he actually allows her to go. She was in no mood to even see him, forget talking nice. Whatever he did today, she had lost patience within her to deal with a man like him. He was dangerous for everyone, even her. She just wanted to go.. Away.. from him.. forever.. Seeing her silent and stable, he touched her arm gently to get her attention.. She waved his arm off. That angered him..He unlocked the door..

Arnav: Get out!!
She didnt leave..
Arnav: Didnt you hear? I said GET OUT of my car. !!

Well... If thats what he wants , she was ready to leave.. She got down the car and hurriedly walked to her home. He drove off that street.. Anjali was drying the clothes outside and she had seen this black car with tinted windows at the corner of the street standing. But when Khushi got down from the car after almost 10 minutes, she was startled.. What was Khushi doing in that Car? Whose car was that? Khushi opened the gates of her house and tried to act normal seeing her sister.

Anjali: (Blocked her way): Whose car was that? Where had you been Khushi?
Khushi was shocked. What will she answer now? Shyam came out looking for his wife and he saw Anjali asking questions to Khushi..
Anjali: Tell me Khushi. Who had come to drop you ? What is going on? These days you dont seem to be acting normal. You always go out giving us excuses, you come home late, you dont seem to be meeting Payal much. Then where do you go?
Khushi : Di.. Its nothing like that..
Anjali: Again a lie? Khushi stop lieing to us.. Please.. We are not going to hurt you. If you are in any kind of problem let us know. We can help you.
Khushi (gulped her nervousness): Di aisa kuch nahi hai..
Anjali: Toh kaisa hai Khushi? What is happening?
Shyam: Ohh hoo..Rani Saheba relax.. Give her time to breathe at least.. And why are you pouncing on her. She will tell us if there is anything to share. Dont force her. Please.. Khushi you go in and get some rest. Hmm? Go..
Khushi rushed in.
Anjali: You always save her from answering Shyam. This is wrong..
Shyam: You think I dont care about her? Rani Saheba I have noticed the same what you do. But if we pounce on her like this she might never feel secured to share it with us. So please. Let me deal this in my way. Okay?

Anjali had to agree.. There was no other way to find a solution.

*************
Next Day

He had expected her to cool off her anger and call him up at least today but nothing happened.

10:00 am
He was at his office typing emails but every 2 minutes he didnt mind checking his phone and see if there is any call from her or even message. NOTHING

12:30pm
He was having salad for lunch along with Chicken Sandwiches but after every bite he kept staring at his phone which never beeped for her message nor flashed her name as the caller.

2:00pm
He was attending a presentation and the client was really impressed with the subject and tried to ask some query to Arnav SIngh Raizada who was so much engrossed admiring the photo of Khushi Gupta that he didnt give an ear to the Client's word at all.

04:30 pm
His tea was cold and unsipped because ASR was busy in hallucinating Khushi in his cabin, walking through and sitting on his desk talking to him.

06:00 pm
This was heights of his patience now. He didnt hear her voice from past 24 hours. He cannot tolerate it further. He wanted to see her. He picked his car keys and drove towards Laxmi Nagar, dialing her number.

07:00 pm
Onway to her home, he had almost dialed her number 15 times but she didnt answer. What the hell was wrong with her?

07:10 pm
He reached the same spot where he kept dropping her and for one last time thought of trying her number. If she doesnt respond still, he wont mind getting inside the house..

07:12pm
She answered the call.

Arnav: Dont you EVER.. EVER do that to me again.. Where the hell are you ?Why arent you responding to my calls?
Khushi: I am ignoring you. Cant you understand? (She yelled back at him)
He was surprised and equally frustrated but he controlled his anger..
Arnav: Watch your tone SWEETHEART!!
Khushi: Dont call me that. I am not your sweetheart..
Arnav: So you are still upset with that matter? I told you I didnt mean to harm you Khushi.
Khushi: But you harmed my Brother in law. What about that?
Arnav (Clenching his jaw): Then just ask him to leave that case. He will be safe I assure.
Khushi: Why? Why should he do that?
Arnav: She was my EX Khushi. It will get more complicated ..
Khushi: You should have thought that before hurting her.

Arnav fisted his fingers on the steering wheel of his car while listening to Khushi's unnecessary blabbering regarding Sheetal on call.

Arnav( gritting teeth): You are supporting Sheetal over me?
Khushi: Any girl who has a man like you as her partner would have done the same. You manhandled a girl? If you can do this Arnavji then you can even kill that girl. What do you think after knowing so much about you, I will still meet you??
Arnav was done with this topic.
Arnav: You are coming out or not Khushi?
Khushi: No. I am not coming. Not now and Infact never ever.

He disconnected the call banging his phone down. Every woman in his life had just given him pain and left him alone. But he will not let Khushi do the same. She was special to him, the only woman who was able to evoke feelings of possession within him. He got down the car and pushed the small gate of Gupta house to enter in.

As the bell rang, Khushi jerked in fear realising who was at the door. He really came here? She thought he was just trying to create fear within her. What will she do now? The entire family was at home. She prayed to her Devi Maiyaa quickly to save her from this known tragedy and rushed towards the Living room. Anjali opened the door as expected she was shocked to see Arnav Singh Raizada standing before her.

Arnav: Hello Mrs Jha..
Anjali's temper rose remembering what this man tried to do with Shyam. She was going to scold him for even stepping in their house but soon Shyam handled the situation.
Shyam: What are you doing here?
Arnav: Excuse me? Have you people forgot this is my house? I own it..
Anjali: But you have leased it to us. So we have some privacy Mr Raizada. We dont like to be reminded by our owner everytime that this house belongs to him..

Arnav fisted his fingers in anger. He never liked people talking to him in this tone. But the moment he saw Khushi's scared face at the corner of the room, he calmed down..
Arnav: Actually I have come here for a very important purpose.. (he walked to Shyam who was at some distance from him).. I heard some of my men troubled you yesterday regarding the case ..Forgive them... They love me very much.. And hence they cant see any unknown trouble surround me.. So they keep doing such irrelevant things to ensure I am safe... So just forgive them for whatever happened.. I personally came here only to say this..

Khushi was shocked.. What kind of man he was? Such a nasty game changer. He himself send those goons and now he is saying he wasnt aware of it? But Khushi cannot speak this truth out otherwise she will have to let the whole family know about her current relationship with Arnav Singh Raizada.. She remained quiet..

Shyam: Its hard to believe you didnt send them.. But I still accept your apology Mr Raizada.. I hope this doesn't happen again..Its a crime to threaten a lawyer this way to back off from a case.
Anjali (Interrupting): Shyam..Dont believe him..
Shyam looked at Anjali asking her to be quiet. Arnav was watching this husband wife's silent gestures. Anjali left for the room.
Arnav: Your wife seems to be an aggressive and dominant woman Mr Jha.. Not good for men like us..
Shyam: Anything else Mr Raizada?

That was an indirect way of asking him to leave the house. Arnav glanced at Khushi once who turned around to leave.

Arnav left the house, Shyam closed the door behind him but Arnav stopped at the corridor and dialed some number. He was standing very close to the window which was supposed to be one of Khushi's room's.

Arnav (On Call): Keep an eye on Shyam Jha.. I want his every move to be tracked and informed. Understood?
He cut the call and a smirk appeared on his face as he saw Khushi's shadow peeping from the window. So she heard it. Well.. That's what he wanted. He kept the phone back in his pocket and kept walking to his car. Khushi was startled. He asked his men to keep a watch on her Jeejaji? Why was he doing so? Why was he playing such two timing games with them? What was his intention? She will not let him play with her family like this.

She will have to talk to him clearly and get expose his motives before he does something really horrible with her family.

**********
She kept calling him on his mobile that same night to talk to him but he didn't answer her calls. Why was he doing this? He never delays in attending her call then why was he ignoring her today? Arnav on the other hand kept admiring his phone which displayed her name and photo again and again as she kept dialling him.

Arnav( looking at his phone): Very desperate to talk sweetheart? But you will have to wait. Until I am confirmed that this desperation will remain the same way forever.

He kept his phone beside the pillow and rested on the bed to get some sleep while his phone kept vibrating in silent mode all the time. The next day would be surely very entertaining he was confident of that.

************

Next morning

Khushi didn't care what excuses she had to make to her family while leaving the house. All she wanted was to talk to Arnav Singh Raizada and clear his intentions. She hurried in his office to reach his cabin but the guards stopped her.

Khushi: I want to meet your boss.
Guards: Sorry Ma'am. You will have to wait. He is busy..
Khushi: No.. He is not.. I know he is just testing my patience but today I am not going to let him control me.

She pushed the guards aside and ran towards the stairs. She had to finish this conversation before Akash bhai reaches the office and sees her here. Anjali di was already having some doubts on her. She cannot let Akash bhai doubt too. The guards followed her asking to stop but she was very quick in running away from them. She pushed the cabin door open, Arnav was sitting on his chair and watching all this peacefully. He was quite impressed by the way Khushi showed courage to reach his cabin. The guards came there too..
Guards: Sorry Sir.. She didn't listen us.. We will drive her out now.

Arnav: No that's fine.. Leave us alone.

The guards agreed and shut the door to allow their boss to have this private conversation. Khushi was breathing hard trying to supress the over anxiety within her.

Arnav: Water??
He stood up and passed her a glass of water which she kept down on the table again.
Khushi: No thanks. I am not here for this.
Arnav: I am sure you are not Khushi.. But I am very busy at the moment so it will be wise if you leave.
Khushi: I am not leaving.. ( she angrily responded)
Arnav( smirking): So much of desperation? Good.. I always wanted to see this in you.. Just the way I like it..
He stroked his finger on her cheek but she moved his arm away.
Khushi: Stop changing topics Mr ..
Arnav: This urgency to utter what you have in your heart is mind blowing.. I feel the same when you aren't around to listen me.. Its quite uneasy.. Isn't it??
Khushi: Are you mad??
Arnav: You took quite some time to realise this. I am mad since I was hardly 10 years old.

What a confession!!! Was he scaring her? How she wished to tell him she already knew his medical condition. But he was like this from 10 ? She had never expected that to be honest.
