Part 53(Intrusion)

Everyone finally retired from the restaurant to start preparing for the upcoming function. They decided to take shagun(Roka) at Khushi's house after 1 week. Also, Khushi decided to shift from her flat to Gupta house but after the engagement, till then she kept visiting Gupta House and taking something or other stuff there so that she can shift things from her flat to Gupta House. Garima and Shashi were the happiest with this decision of Khushi. Finally, their daughter would be back home but only for a few months cause soon she would be married. The emotions were mixed for Shashi and Garima as they were happy for the reason that their daughter would be back home but again she will leave this house.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the blink of an eye, three days had already passed Khushi was in N.G.O. today as last weekend she couldn't go to N.G.O. She was talking with Mr Shukla (Caretaker) and was coming out of N.G.O. but stopped as she remembered something as soon as she saw the white SUV parked and there was standing the man she loved 'Arnav'. They had planned to spend the evening together or as Arnav said their "The Dinner Date". Seemed like he was waiting here for a long time. Her eyes open wide as she recalled that it was fixed for the day. Oh! My goodness, Khushi you forgot it how could you? She slapped her head lightly blabbering it to herself. He waved a hand at her she waved back at him but with a guilty face."Shukla Ji, we will discuss this tomorrow" she said.

He was smiling looking at her now this was making her feel more guilty. "Bohot der se khade honge na (You must be standing here for a long time).[He nodded in a yes as a response]. She questioned as she reached near him. I am so sorry love(She held her ears). I won't lie I literally forget that we had planned the evening with each other. Actually, I was busy with office work and then my phone battery was low and it discharged. Then I came here and got busy again and it totally slipped my mind. I apologise for it love. I... Before she could say something more he kept his fingers her lips shushing her down. "Vaise Jaan I love to hear your voice but I always tell you that these sorry just doesn't suit your mouth. And why are you being apologetic? sweetheart, it is not bad to be a workaholic and then doesn't I know how much work pressure you have firstly office and then N.G.O handling them both is tedious and tiring." he said calmly and lovingly touching her cheek. She was looking at him in trance was she really this fortunate? to have this man who understood her so well. Instead of fussing, he was appreciating her? "Jaan" he clicked his fingers in front of her eyes to bring her back from her own world of thinking. Chale ab? (Can we go now?). I am really hungry he said she nodded. He opened the car door for her to sit.

He starts to drive the car. "Why are you like this? Aren't you angry with me at all? Why?" she asked in a daze.

"Jaan don't ask me such a silly question it is not a big deal you had worked so you forgot it. What is the benefit of making it an issue? If you had done intentionally I would have been angry with you. But why I should complain now?" he said."

"It is a big deal love you aren't a free man you are busy and have lots of work may be much more than me. As if I don't know that you must have postponed your meetings or would have completed your work early so that we could get time with each other and here I was late. So much of the time was wasted because of me" said Khushi.

"Yeah, I completed my work early so that we can be together for more time. And that is simply because you are my priority Khushi so doesn't matter if I give my time for you and dare you to call it a wastage of time and yes I shamelessly want to tell you that I just couldn't forget it cause I was damn desperate to meet you because for god sake it has been 3 days and we had not communicated at all not even on a phone call," said Arnav. Khushi didn't know actually what to react well his last sentence did bring a red hue on her face turning it red. She kept quiet for the rest of the journey by smiling all the time. She was blessed with the best person in this world.

They reached their favourite restaurant. The seats were already reserved for them. The order was placed and they were chatting with each about the engagement. They hadn't even selected the rings yet. Just then someone patted on Arnav's shoulder they both look at the person. Khushi looked pretty scared and suddenly Arnav's face turned red with anger as he looked at the man.

"Hi, Arnav hello Khushi," said the man.

" I told you to never show me your face," said Arnav in a dangerously low tone. Viraj please I don't want to spoil my evening before I lost my cool you get lost from my sight"

" I need to talk with you Arnav I know you are not interested but please just once listen to me."

"Arnav, please not here," said Khushi coming close to him. He nodded understanding that they were in public. The trio came out of the restaurant.

Why are you here Viraj? For again separating us? I will not let you harm us just get lost Viraj" his voice becoming loud with each sentence

Why are you here Viraj? For again separating us? I will not let you harm us just get lost Viraj" his voice becoming loud with each sentence." I am here to apologise, Khushi I.." and before he could speak something more Arnav held him from his neck choking him to death. " Apni gandi zubaan se meri Khushi ka naam bhi mat lena.(Don't even speak the name of my Khushi from your dirty mouth)." Arnav roared angrily. Viraj was choking and was trying to breathe.

"Arnav chodiye kya kar re hai aap. (Arnav leave him what are you doing)Please, he will die. You have my swear" she said much scared to see this side of Arnav. He left his neck closing his palms in the fist to control himself from doing something wrong."Viraj please go" Khushi pleads. He nods and left from there.

Arnav bangs his hand on the nearby car bonnet. "Arnav, please cool down itna gussa kab se karne lage hai aap(From when have you started to get so much angry)" she said keeping her palm on his cheeks. He removed her hand from his cheek not harshly but yet it showed his frustration.

"I think I should drop you at your flat," he said not looking at her.

"And the food ?" she said trying to change his mood at least to bring it to normal.

" I am not hungry anymore," he said. "But I am," she said. " Okay, I will get food packed for you from the restaurant" he moved towards the restaurant.

"But I am not eating it if you aren't, that is unfair I was here with my love and now this Arnav took him away spoiling my dinner date" she made a sad face.

" Jaan, I.." He hugged her. " I am sorry I just.." he was cut in between.

"I know it you need not explain me but skipping a meal is not a solution," she said looking at him. He nodded " Let us have dinner, " he said. Both went inside and had dinner quietly. She knew he was totally disturbed by the current happening. After that Arnav dropped her at her flat. She came out of the car. He was sitting in the car. " Thori der baad nahi jaa sakte ho kya? (Can't you go after some time?)" Can he really deny her? Never no matter what might be irritating him he just cannot think of ignoring her. He quickly parked the car and came out.

They were in her flat's balcony. He was standing folding his arms looking outside from the balcony. She brought the cup of coffee and kept it on the table. Arnav she spoke. He looked at her she passed him the coffee. He kept the mug after completing the cup of coffee not speaking even a single word till now. "Love," she said. Yeah, Jaan he said but not looking at her. She moved towards him turned him so that he can look at her. He questioned through his eyes asking her what she wanted to say she nodded her head in a no telling him that there was nothing she wanted to speak instead she hugged him. He also kept his hand on her back retorting the hug. This was the much-needed hug. The peace to his restlessness. They kept hugging like that for a few minutes. Khushi spoke still in his arms "I know it all disturbed you but stop thinking about him. It hurts a lot of love to watch you this quiet. Can't you even share it with me?"

"I don't know how to get rid of that man. Why even I created such a person as my friend. He was always this way always much more possessive about the things he wanted in his life. I am scared Khushi when he wants something he tries to grab them by hook or crook. He just never gives up until the situations don't turn his way. There was a time I used to adore this trait of his but now what if he tried to approach you. I cannot trust him at all Khushi. He came their today when I was with you but what if he comes to you when you are alone. He is such a good actor. He might try to convince you that he is changed but I don't think that is even possible"

"I can't say what is there in his mind maybe you know him much better Arnav. Don't be scared Love we already know how he is so we won't come in his words and there is no chance anyone can create misunderstanding between us now. I hope we have no trust issues now."

"No, no not at all"

"Then we need not worry"

"Maybe you are right Jaan but if he tries to approach you to let me know. Actually I am thinking to appoint guards they will keep an eye."

"No way, I don't want to lose my freedom. You are worrying unnecessarily."

"But..."

"No, but and if"

"Alright, you will stay alarmed promise me"

"I promise" with that she kissed his cheek. (I love you) she said. He smiled at her gesture she was trying her best to bring him back from his disturbed mind. And she was pretty successful in it. He kissed her back on her forehead.(I love you too).

She cuddled herself again in his arms but this time her back touched his front. He kept his hands on her waist and chin on her shoulder and slowly started kissing her shoulder. She closed her eyes feeling his touch. She kept her palms on his palms which were on her waist. He then slowly bites her earlobe she pressed her hands on his as she felt a little pain and then the next second he started licking it. He then started to slowly kiss her neck. She tilted her neck slightly to give him more access.

Both were lost in the moment of love and peace when his phone rang bringing them out of their proximity

Both were lost in the moment of love and peace when his phone rang bringing them out of their proximity.

She tried to come out of his arms but he gestured her not too she stood in his arms as he picked up the call.

"Hello, Maa "

"I hope I haven't disturbed you" Ratna teased.

"Maa, Actually you did disturb us. We were..." he said.

Khushi slapped lightly on his arms and nodded in a no to indicate him not to talk in this way with his mom.

"Besharam (shameless)"

He chuckled.

"Late hoga ghar aane me? (Would you get late in coming home?)

Yeah probably any work?

No, I was just confirming.

Ok, enjoy. Bye

Bye maa.
