MY LOVER MY WIFE...

chapter 7

Arnav along with khushi and dev are in his office discussing on a very important project

ARNAV; so

KHUSHI; so; what do you mean so…arnav you can’t just call us here on a short notice and expect us to brain storm

ARNAV; am just asking you for any ideas for the next launch

KHUSHI; let’s just go back to work…and think about it..we have a day and three brains

DEV; am hungry shorten your speech

KHUHSI; is all you ever think about, food…I know everyone has a right to be stupid but your abusing the privilege. Where was i?? Let’s think about this we have a day and two and half brains

DEV; ouch that hurt khushi but am still hungry so could you please make this quick

KHUSHI; I just realized when I related you to having an average mind..I insulted a person with an average brain

ARNAV; okay dev…what did you do to khushi…this time??

KHUSHI; ask what he didn’t do??

DEV; me…arnav I did nothing to her..why do you suspect am the cause of this feud

ARNAV; fine I don’t care..before my office turns into a war zone please go back to work and reflect on what we just said

Before they can say another word khushi stands up all of sudden in a rush…Clutching her stomach with one hand and with the other over her mouth…to go arnav’s washroom

ARNAV; what’s wrong with her??

DEV; ask no questions and you will hear no lies…how am I supposed to know??

Both dev and arnav follow after and wait outside for her..

ARNAV; khushi are you okay (he asks hearing her throw up)

DEV; does she sound okay to you??

After a while khushi comes outside only to meet a frantic arnav…

ARNAV; khushi are you okay??

KHUSHI; arnav am fine

ARNAV; is that what you call fine??

KHUSHI; I just got nauseated by dev’s talk

DEV; very funny khushi…

KHUHSI; I don’t see you laughing

ARNAV; why the hell did you come to work if you weren’t feeling well in the first place

KHUSHI; arnav relax its normal

ARNAV; normal

KHUSHI; I mean this could be an allergic reaction to something I ate

ARNAV; since when did you become a doctor

DEV; good question

KHUSHI; well am fine

ARNAV; find me in the parking lot, am taking you to a hospital

KHUSHI; am not going

DEV; and why is that??

ARNAV; khushi we aren’t debating against this…your coming with me to see a doctor

KHUSHI; well no doctor knows my body better than me…if am saying am fine then it means am fine…okay

ARNAV; khushi look at me…does this look like a face that doesn’t seem serious…we are going to the hospital and that’s final

KHUSHI; why are you insisting on this, when all the doctors are going to do is diagnose me with a complicated disease that I don’t even have

ARNAV; find me in the parking lot

KHUSHI;I said am fine

ARNAV; no you’re not

KHUSHI; yes iam

ARNAV; no you’re not

KHUSHI; yes iam

DEV; yes you are

KHUSHI; no am not

DEV; see

ARNAV; khushi I really hate repeating myself…we are going to the hospital

KHUSHI; arnav am not going any with you, unless you drag me out of here which you wont…so no

ARNAV; why are you being stubborn. Are you hiding anything from me

KHUSHI; no..and even if I was…Am still not going to the hospital

ARNAV; I can’t believe this…tell me, did you certainly develop phobias for hospitals

KHUSHI; arnav look at me…(she grabs his hand and puts it on her forehead and neck) See I have no fever..am okay

DEV; problem is inside the stomach not outside doctor khushi

Khushi glares at dev…cursing him under his breath…

KHUSHI; am fine arnav

ARNAV; let the doctor confirm that for me

KHUSHI; no

ARNAV; and why cant you??

DEV; yes khushi tell us is there a reason you don’t want to go to the hospital

ARNAV; and I need a valid one not excuses

They are still arguing when the door suddenly opens…

LAVANYA; am sorry did I interrupt anything??

KHUSHI; no

ARNAV; yes

KHUSHI; we are done lavanya..me and dev were on our way out..(she says as she drags dev along with her)

LAVANYA; arnav I need to talk to you
ARNAV; Is it urgent

LAVANYA; yes arnav
….
DEV; so khushi for how long are you planning to keep this from arnav…you can’t hide your pregnancy it won’t be too long before he finds out

KHUSHI; will you shut the hell up

DEV; I know a moment is going to come when you will do the right thing

KHUSHI; I love those moments, I like to wave at them as they pass by

DEV; go tell arnav the truth

KHUSHI; and then what..what after that

DEV; khushi I understand

KHUSHI; no you don’t. you don’t get how I feel when all arnav comes to say to me is good bye at the end of the day and goes back home. The passion, lies deception keep piling up and the joy of seeing each other even for five minutes become intense…sometimes I wonder if having to struggle for something you want doesn’t make it more valuable…am not going give my child the title of being a bastard…I wont let that happen

DEV;what is going on in your sick brain

KHUSHI; if arnav can’t break his word..if he cant leave lavanya…then maybe she will..

DEV; I don’t like where this conversation is heading

KHUSHI; it’s about time lavanya learned the truth

DEV; what…and how do you plan to do that

KHUSHI; I don’t know

DEV; and arnav

KHUSHI; am carrying his child…

DEV; okay…I don’t know what your plans are..but what if even after lavanya finding out the truth…she still chooses to stay with him..am not saying she will but what if

KHUSHI; don’t jinx…and shut up…
