Chapter 23

(i made this banner.. )

Ya, Khushi loved Arnav.. She wanted to be with him, marry him.. But this way?

She closed her eyes and he turned to see her and hear a positive reply from her.. And he heard next which she spoke with a heavy heart..

Khushi-Nahi Sir, I wont marry u..

And Arnav looked up with a shocked look! He never expected anyone would deny him.. How can she?

ASR looked at her who was moving away, and following her a step inside his room, he grabbed her arms as always and pushed her to pin her on the wall aggressively and she was already scared of the beast inside him, but she remained composed assuming what he would speak next..

ASR-How dare Gupta??

Khushi-How dare I? How dare YOU Mr. Raizada? How can u even think that I will agree to ur non sense proposal?

His grip was going tighter on her hands and that just made her close her eyes and hiss.. Biting her lower lip she held his biceps trying to push him with the little energy this lamp possessed in front of that lion..

Khushi-Leave me Sir.. Ur hurting me..

She said straight and he looked down to find himself manhandling her so roughly..

Finding the opportunity proper, she pushed him away making him fall on the Recliner behind, and ran away wiping her painful tears..

***

Anjali was resting in her room when Khushi entered, and Khushi saw her (Anjali) sleeping with Shyam’s photo on her chest.. She went besides Anjali and sat pulling a chair near the bed.. Anjali was fast asleep.. Khushi was now alone..

Khushi sobbed slowly, and her heart sank.. She saw ASR enter the room and turned her face wiping her tears and in a haste, the medicine box besides Anjali’s Bed (near Khushi’s chair), fell down by Khushi’s hands which woke up Anjali..

Khushi immediately masked a smile on her face and Anjali saw ASR standing behind.. She could see Arnav was angry, it was written on his face.. Looking at Khushi again, Anjali understood they fought and got up..

Anjali-Kya chote? Hamari hone wali bhabhi ko rula diya na? (What is this chote? U made my To-Be-Bhabhi cry..) So rude of u..

Khushi looked up at Anjali stunned.. Anjali smiled and cupped Khushi’s face..

Anjali-We know u don’t know Khushiji.. Actually, I asked ur hand from ur Amma yesterday, for Arnav.. She told a Yes..

Anjali spoke joyfully..

Khushi was shocked behind imagination.. Her Marriage was going to get fixed with The ASR and she dint know? Why dint her Amma tell her? Did ASR already fix a Contract Marriage of himself and herself taking to her Amma about it, thought Khushi..

ASR was since when calling Khushi from behind, but she never replied, she never saw that side.. After a while, Khushi got up saying..

Khushi-Anjaliji, I will just be back drinking water..

Saying that, she left the room not wanting to talk anything with ASR.. To her fate, ASR followed her..

***

Drawing Room..

Raizada Mansion..

Khushi dint know He was behind her, and in a hurry, she almost ran to the kitchen when her leg hit the sofa.. She just ran into without seeing.. She would have fell down, only if his hand would not have held her arms and pulled her on his chest..

She was angry, very angry.. She struggled in success and pushed ASR just to add on to his anger and ran to the kitchen to drink water.. ASR stood their..

*

Khushi was going back to Anjali’s room from the kitchen, when ASR blocked her way and she looked at him throwing daggers..

Khushi-Let me go, SIR..

ASR-First listen to me, then reply..

Khushi was not scared, but tried to look determined for sure.. She looked straight in his eyes and replied..

Khushi-There is nothing left for listening and replying.. *looks away* PAUSE.. Anyway one month of my Job is over.. Give me my Salary and let me move out.. Am sure u will get many more to replace me whom u can afford for Anjaliji and ur stupid Contract Marriage..

ASR was again shocked to see this Calm Khushi throw fire.. Khushi again rushed to Anjali’s Room and he again followed her just getting more mad this time..

***

Anjali’s Room..

Khushi entered and Arnav too came in.. Before ASR could excuse himself and Khushi, Khushi took her own mobile and moved to Anjali’s Room’s Poolside saying..

Khushi-Anjaliji, I need to talk to my Parents.. I will just be back..

Anjali smiled and Khushi was pissing ASR at the worst now..

Anjali looked at ASR and got up leaving for washroom.. Seeing Anjali going away, ASR followed Khushi to the pool side..

*

Khushi was pacing the pool side waiting for someone to pick up the Call she just dialled, unconscious to the fact that she was being watched by ASR..

After some seconds..

Khushi (on phone)-Hello? Amma..

Khushi made a face..

Buaji replied from the other side..

Buaji (on call)- Amma Nahi Khushi, hum hai.. (Its not ur Amma, its me..)

Khushi(on phone)- Buaji? Uff.. Aap plz Amma ko pone (phone) dijiye.. (Plz pass the phone to Amma..)

Buaji called Garima, and Garima smiled not having a single hint on the her daughter’s condition..

Garima(on phone)-Khushi! Did u both talk? Obviously u did, ur there from so long! Arnav babua is a good man at heart.. Are u happy?

Khushi understood that Arnav never talked to her Amma about the Contract Marriage thing.. But she was still annoyed and immediately blasted..

Khushi(on phone)-What is all this Amma? How can u do this? At least u should have told me.. I never expected Arnavji to ask me that..

Garima suddenly got tensed hearing Khushi’s tone..

Garima (on phone)-Khushi..? What happened beta? Why are u sounding so upset?

Khushi-Coz I am Upset! How could u arrange my Marriage to Anyone like that? U know who he is?

Garima looked at a tensed Buaji’s face standing besides and replied on phone with a sigh..

Garima-Khushi! Its okay.. He is very nice.. We know who he is and how he is.. Trust me bitiya, u could not have got luckier.. Ur Babuji and Buaji also agree to me..

Khushi-NO.. I don’t want this.. I told him NO..

To say Garima was shocked would be an understatement! Land below Garima’s feet moved and Buaji held her oblivious to what Garima heard.. Before Buaji can hold the phone and speak to Khushi, the phone was cut off..

*

Khushi turned to jump after she witnessed ASR standing a feet behind her.. She understood he over heard her phone talk with her Amma.. She looked away and was again moving away avoiding him, when her small wrist was gripped in his, and he twirled her to make her hit on his chest.. She gulped looking away and struggled in angry..

Khushi-Leave me..

ASR’s face was so close to her, and she was still strong enough to not close her eyes and suppress her feelings which were again erupting due to this closeness.. He was still staring Khushi getting annoyed by her guts to avoid Him, to avoid The ASR..

Without giving a hint, ASR dint wait to let her to realise, and rushed to his room picking Khushi up in his strong arms..

***

ASR’s Room..

Khushi never got time to understand when ASR picked her up and her hands went around his neck.. Next she found herself in ASR’s Room and she was thrown on Arnav’s BED.. ASR came towards her locking the Door at once and before she could get up, he was above her, pushing himself all over her who was on His Bed..

He was so angry and she was going to experience Hell in a few seconds, well, a decent one compared to the Real ASR..

ASR-Tum apni hadd se bahot aage badh chuki ho Khushi Kumari Gupta.. (U have crossed ur limits so much this time Khushi Kumari Gupta..)

She breathed hard trying to get up but his weight over her dint let her move.. Her hands were held on either sides of her head by ASR’s hands.. She could barely look up..

Khushi-Sir! Wh - - What are doing?

Her eyes became large and her lips trembled.. His eyes were burning her heart by those harsh looks..

She again tried to speak..

Khushi-Hamee jaane dijiye.. (Let go off me..) Hame upar jaana hai.. (I want to go up..)

ASR-Meri baat abhi katam nahi hui.. (I am not finished yet..) How dare u avoid me? And u pushed ME?

Khushi gulped looking down now.. Neither did Khushi have a bit more courage to meet his Red Eyes, nor was she having any more strength to stop her tears..

Khushi-Plz Sir.. I don’t want to talk to u.. Hame jaane dijiye..

Her eyes left tears, but He was ASR for now..

ASR-Bol lo jitna bolna hai.. Ro lo, chilla lo.. Kyuki jab tak tum meri baat sun nahi leti, yaha se hill nahi sakti..

His EVERY word was so sharp..

Now that made her go numb and his body hitting her’s made her shiver.. She tried to look away and his grip on her just tightened to make her feel more helpless.. She was loosing herself, feeling too weak..

ASR-Koi nahi aayega tunhe mujhse bachane.. SAMJHI TUM..? (No one will come to save u, did u GET IT?)

He almost yelled making her flinch below him.. Her eyes shut down and her fingers folded around her thumbs on their own accord..

ASR-Tum ho kaun jisse baat karne ke liye itna kuch karna padta hai? Sirf Di ki wajah se mai tumhe iss ghar mei, apne aas pass bardasht kar raha hu, warna.. (Who are u that I have to do so much to talk to u? Only coz of Di I am baring u in this house, around me, otherwise..)

She suppressed her every fear and looked at him in his eyes to give a BOLD reply back..

Khushi-Aap battameezi kar rahe hai, Sir.. (U are misbehaving, Sir..)

ASR-Battameezi toh maine abhi shuru bhi nahi ki hai, Khushi Kumari Gupta.. (I have not even started to misbehave, Khushi Kumari Gupta..)

He bent down a bit lower to her face and her eyes popped out in panic.. She started pushing him again and he just came more close to her.. She shut her eyes tight in anticipation of what can happen next.. Her lips were involuntarily parted..

He pressed his angry over her hands and felt a prick over his palms.. He left her wrists and saw her bangle broke in two piece which hurt him and her, both.. Their hand’s bleeding a small drop of blood..

Realising his level of anger on her, he got up facing his back at her and she opened her eyes wiping her tears.. He dint plan to do any of that but she was testing his Patience and Ego.. He could not stop than to show her what was the result to AVOID The ASR..

Khushi too got up and tried to compose her form.. She was both, scared, and angry on him.. But she was strong she believed.. Pressing his shoulders, she did a mistake of showing him her little courage which came after so much fiddling.. Khushi pulled him to make him face her, and spoke throwing her full frustration on him in anger, whatever she had..

Khushi-Aapko bilkul bhi andaaza nahi hai na, ke shadi ka matlab kya hota hai? ? (U have no idea na, what is the meaning of Marriage?)

She was in pain, NOT due to his wildness, BUT due to his proposal of marriage, sorry, Contract Marriage.. She had to forget those few seconds when she thought he is marrying her out of Love.. She never imagined ASR to be so pathetic that he will propose her a Conditional Marriage, a Contracted one..

Khushi-Shadi koi khel nahi hai Sir, jisse jab ji chahe khel liya.. Aur Contract Marriage? Aap aisi cheez ke baare mei soch bhi kaise sakte hai? Aur wo bhi hamare saath.. (Marriage is not a play to be played when ever u want.. And Contract Marriage? How can u even think of such a thing? And that also with Me?)

 He turned around not wanting to worsen the situation any more.. But looked like she was not done with his ASR form, yet.. She forced him turn to make him face her again, and in return he rolled her so close to him holding her waist.. Her hands in between their bodies, tring to create some distance, but failed..

ASR-Tumhe yaha laya gaya tha Di ki dekh bhal karne ke liye.. Toh apna kaam karo, apne paise lo, aur chup chap ghar jao.. (U were called here to take care of Di.. So do ur work, take ur money, and get back home..)

He pushed her and she felt insulted the way he did that..

Khushi-What else can be even expected from u? Being so much Rich, ur have become very Egoistic Sir, and am very sorry to tell u that.. I know ur an atheist, but that does not mean that God does not exist in Real World just because He does not exist for u.. Remember Sir, ur NOT above God.. And - - .. And Don’t think that Marriage is a Game.. I wont sign ANY sort of Contract Marriage with u EVER, neither will I let u ruin this pure relation..

That’s it.. He again lost his control and he pushed her to the nearest wall and cornered her who was now showing herself too strong.. Did she forget how scared she was some 5 minutes back of ASR?

ASR-I was right! I was so right! U middle class people should never be given so freedom that u forget ur status and back answer a Person like Me!

She was flaring her little red nose in anger, and the scene was going to be too much intense now.. He left her and took a step back..

ASR-Whatever! Move Out for now.. PAUSE.. Aur ha, mujhe apni middle class mentality shikhane ki koshish bhi matt mat karna.. Apne shadi ke ideas apne pass hei rakho.. Do u understand? Miss KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA..  (Don’t even try to teach me ur middle class mentality.. Keep ur Marriage Related ideas with u..)

He said his last words so firmly, that it added to her exasperation.. She too wanted to reply once, before leaving..

Khushi-Shadi ka idea hamara banaya hua nahi hai, Mr. ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA..

This only firm sentence made him leave her and his mouth hanged to note her guts.. The temperature of this room had already rose by tons.. If also it will go a little more up now, surely ASR’s Room will Blast burning the two present there..

She took a deep breathe and took a step forward towards him, which forced him to move a step back.. She narrowed her eyes to continue as he locked his gaze into her eyes..

Khushi-Humne nahi banai yeh rasm.. Yeh Bhagwaan ka diya hua aashirwaad hai, iss duniya ka sabse pavitra rishta hai.. (I have not created this ritual.. It is a blessing showered by God, it is the most pious relation of this world..)

She took a step ahead towards him poking her index finger in his chest.. He kept staring her and moving back as she let flow every pain her heart felt due to his Contract Marriage’s Proposal..

Khushi-Jab koi kisi ke saath apni puri zindagi bitane ka vaada karta hai.. Jab koi kisi se marne ke baad bhi alag nahi hona chahta.. Jab koi dua kare ke uske saathi ki har pareshani usse mil jaaye, har dard usse mil jaaye, aur zarurath pade toh uski jaan ke badle wo apni jaan dede.. Iss vaade ke saath hei toh zindagi puri hoti hai.. (When someone promises to pass their whole life with one person.. When someone wishes that they don’t want to part even after dying.. When someone prays to take away their mate’s every tension, every pain, and in case needed, to give away one’s own life too, for their love.. This promise can only complete a life..)

Khushi stopped moving ahead and her hands hanged down now.. Her eyes were moist.. ASR was forced to look away not able to meet her eyes..

Khushi-Par aap jaise log iss rishte ko kabhi samajh hei nahi sakte.. Kyuki aap sirf rishte apne matlab ke liye banate hai.. Aur jab matlab pura ho jaye, na koi zimmedari, na koi bandhan, na koi vaade KUCH NAHI.. (But people like u can never understand this.. Coz u make relations just for a purpose.. And when that purpose is over, no responsibility, no relation, NOTHING..)

She turned her head down and mocked him at last..

Khushi-Aapko shayad yeh nayi soch lagti hogi.. Par hamare hisaab se aap ka character hei dheela hai.. (It maybe modern thinking according to u.. But according to  me, u are character less..)

Oops! ASR raised his head UP which was facing down for a while.. Khushi turned to leave when she felt her dupatta getting pulled back and her breathe hitched.. Next her dupatta was off her neck and she was terrified to see him throwing her dupatta somewhere away.. She looked at him..

Khushi knew Arnav wont do any such thing which would make him cross his limits of decency.. But the present ASR look on his face made her sweat and she immediately replied after he spoke..

Arnav-Mai battameez hu, mera character bhi dheela hai.. Mai bahot ganda hu, haina? (I am shameless, I am characterless.. I am very dirty, right?)

Khushi-Hamara mat - - lab - - wo - - wo nahi tha.. (I - - I dint - - mean that..)

Arnav pulled her on his chest and twisted her wrist behind her back..  She closed her eyes tight and opened to see her self standing safe.. ASR had not touched her again.. She looked up to note that he was now just an angry Arnav now..

She shivered moving a step back just to see he dint take a step forward.. She realised what ever happened in a last few minutes, was the result of an equal aggression from both sides.. He did throw her dupatta, but dint pull her over him.. He had brought her here just coz she had avoided him and intentionally hurt his Ego.. But then what he did was very wrong.. She did abuse him verbally, but he never abused her physically..

What Khushi just spoke lastly, was a slip of tongue and she knew, Arnav was well behaved except for when he was ASR..

She saw him who was still standing on his place and crossed a hand on her chest.. She looked down and felt her dupatta being thrown on her face and heard him roar..

Arnav-Get out Khushi.. I said GET OUT..

Khushi looked at him with smudgy eyes again and wanted to apologize for what he should have apologized first, but witnessing his so much angry, she turned her back at him and ran out to Anjali’s room and from there, at her Home..

She dint dare to take ASR’s permit to go back, and she dint have any idea if her day could go any worse..

Least she knew what was waiting for her at Gupta House..
