YT Part 7

Part 7:

It's morning 5 'O'clock, when Arnav has come down for his jog. He was surprised to see Khushi pacing around the living room talking in her phone in a very low voice. He was surprised to see her talking with so much control when her face is red with anger. Arnav walked towards her and stood behind her and heard her saying in fact shouting in her controlled voice gritting her teeth. Arnav raised his eyebrows seeing his Choti this angry

"One complete night is not enough for you to gather the information about one slumdog? Why am I paying you? Huh, for wasting my time or for trusting you or for not letting me to appoint someone else in your place? Huh?"

"..."

"Fine... I'm giving you some more time. I need all information about that slumdog before this evening. Otherwise, get ready to pay the amount I have given you and don't try to mess with me. You know very well what I can do to you, don't you?"

"..."

"Good for you... don't make me regret for hurting someone... I..." before she says anything else, Arnav placed his hand on her shoulder making her turn with a jerk and a gasp.

She left a relieved sigh seeing Arnav there. She closed her eyes while keeping her hand on left side of her chest. Her breathing was uneven and short. She held her head with other hand. Arnav looked at her amusingly for her reaction. He couldn't understand why she was behaving like this and with whom she is talking in fact threatening. He smiled little seeing her condition. After controlling her thudding heart little, she looked at Arnav

"I will call you later" she said in the phone and turned to Arnav "Chote Malik... you scared me..." her expression is clearly tensed and scared

Arnav felt bad for scaring her

"I'm sorry Choti... I didn't mean to. But what are you doing here, in this early morning? As of I know, you are not a early riser" there is a tease in his eyes

"Everything will change with the time Chote Malik. Nothing will be same as before. If we want them to be same also, nothing will be" she smiled little.

Arnav looked at her eyes, first time... a very first time sensing new person.

"Are you okay?" he asked

"I'm fine Chote Malik... you carry on with your jog, please be careful" Khushi said with a small smile. Arnav can easily see the tiredness in her face. He made Khushi sit on the couch and held her hands

"Choti... I think you know me very well. I can easily catch you whenever you lie to me. So, don't try. Tell me, what's bothering you?"

"The same thing which is bothering me from last 10 years" she said in a low voice while looking at nothing particular. Suddenly she felt weak, her eyes closing and light-headed. Holding her head in her hands she asked Arnav

"Chote Malik..., can please bring me some sweet? My sugar level is dropping down. Please..."

"What? Yeah okay..." Arnav whispered before running towards the kitchen. He brought the chocolate and sat beside Khushi who rested her head on the head rest of the couch. He tried to gain her attention which is getting difficult. He made her head rest on his chest and held her tightly by her shoulder with the hand which he is holding chocolate. He breaks a small piece from the bar and kept it near her mouth

"Choti... please open your mouth and have this. Choti..." he said when she opened her eyes little. She opened her mouth little, very little to have. Arnav kept a small portion of chocolate in her mouth. He kept feeding her small pieces till she gains her normal composure. After nearly like a minute, Khushi came to normal state. Arnav hugged her sideways and rubbed her back relaxing her muscles. Khushi stayed there hearing his heart beats, enjoying with closed eyes.

"Are you okay now?" asked Arnav with so much concern and love for his Choti

Nodding her head, Khushi sat properly and rested her head on the head rest.

"Chutki..." they heard Garima calling her and rushing towards them

"Chutki... what's happened? Is your sugar level came down again? Are you okay betiya?"

"Amma... I'm fine... Chote Malik is here, right? Then no need to worry" Khushi said with low voice.

"Did you have your medicine yesterday night?" asked Garima looking straight into her daughter's eyes. Khushi avoided the eye contact with her mother which made Garima anger rise. At that same time, both Nani and Arnav's parents came out from their rooms. They saw Garima holding Khushi's shoulder in anger. Ratna rushed towards them and held Garima to stop her, from hurting Khushi

"What's wrong Garima? Why are you scolding Khushi?"

"What I have to do Malkin? This girl will be death of me one day. She never listens to me" tears rolled down her cheeks

"OH stop it Ma... I will not die if I don't take medicine for one day. Don't make such a scene here. You already know that I have more important things in my mind to handle than my health now. I can't leave them like that, thinking about my health and taking care of bloody myself. So, stop creating scene" Khushi's breathe is heavy. Her heart is thudding with the happenings. Everyone looked at Khushi; they never expected Khushi to talk like this with her mother. They looked at Khushi with surprised expression. Khushi sat on the couch, trying to control her emotions by holding her head and closed eyes.

Garima sat there dejectedly. She looked at everyone with helpless expression, her look lastly stayed on Arnav pleading him to take care of her Chutki

"What's wrong Garima, Chutki? Why are you both fighting? What's happening? And what's more important than your health Chutki? What's going on?" asked worried Aran.

"Nothing... bade Malik... you don't worry... I'm fine and Amma will be fine in few minutes. Amma... go and be with Bau Ji..." she tried to divert the topic and send her mother away from them, but whom she is avoiding

"No need to divert the topic. Let her be here and answer the question dad has asked you" Arnav is serious. He is very well aware that something is bothering his Choti and wanted to help her and make her relaxed. He can't see his Choti like this.

"Not now..."

"Yes now..." Arnav is adamant to know about Khushi and her past life

Khushi looked at Arnav with helpless expression

"Don't you want to answer if I ask you the same Choti? For me? For your Chote Malik?" Arnav hate to blackmail his Choti, that too with the love she has for him. He felt disgusted about him

Sighing deeply Khushi sat again on the couch and said "I'm working on to reveal Shyam Manohar Jha. I'm trying to find out about his past life"

"What?" that's all everyone can ask.

Looking at them Khushi sighed one more time and revealed her past to them
