LOVABLE MURDERER ( Completed)

33 Arnav's Denial

Part 33 Arnav's Denial

Khushi came to her room with a tray. The plate contained a few sweet verities and also snacks. Arnav rolled his eyes. After all, his in-laws are sweet shop owners...

Khushi extended the plate towards him.

*Take it Nannavji...*

Taking the plate from her hand, Arnav kept it on the table.

*Don't you want to eat?* Khushi asked him.

*Will eat later...*

*Ok...*

*Don't you eat?* Arnav asked.

*I became weary of sweets... *

*That means, those are only for me?* he asked unbelievably.

Khushi nodded yes shrinking her nose.

*Are you guys planning to make me diabetic?* he asked without any expression on his face.

*You won't become a diabetic for eating sweets for one day*

*Will you stop feeding me sweets overnight?*

*No way... but they won't send it to RM daily as well*

Taking a milk-sweet from the tray, Khushi extended it to Arnav's mouth. Arnav took it from her hand and ate. Khushi didn't take it seriously because she somewhat expected that.

Arnav was amazed at seeing her not showing disappointment on her face.

*I want to tell you something...* Arnav said.

*Don't worry I won't compel you to eat sweets* she chuckled.

*I'm not talking about sweets...*

*Oh... ok tell me*

*Aman told me that someone tried to stop our marriage...*

Khushi looked at him shockingly.

*But why?* she asked with the same shock.

*Aman caught him in the marriage hall...* he said not answering her question. So, Khushi understood WHO it could be.

*Did Aman find out who sent the man?* she intentionally asked him.

Arnav nodded yes but didn't say who sent him and Khushi also didn't ask him WHO.

*You should be careful...* Arnav said.

*Mmm...*

*Don't go anywhere unnecessarily...*

*Mmm*

*Tell me in advance if you want to go anywhere...*

*Mmm*

*We have to be alert all the time...*

Khushi nodded ok.

*Be serious. Ok?*

*Ok*

Arnav looked at her frowning as she didn't say anything like she always does. Did she upset as he denied having a sweet from her hand? He supposed.

But, Khushi was thinking about Sheetal. Didn't know what she will do to get what she wanted. Khushi didn't expect Sheetal will go to this extent. What if she harmed Arnav? She was nervous.

Arnav saw her being silent. He didn't like it. Khushi should be smiling... always... that's the trademark of Khushi.

They were asked to have lunch by Shashi. Arnav was observing Khushi who was eating silently. Shashi was the one who was talking non-stop. Garima served him food, asking him to eat well.

Having lunch, Arnav got ready to leave GH.

*Shall I come in the evening to pick you up?* Arnav asked Khushi.

*No need, Arnav. I will come to RM to leave Khushi* Shashi said.

Arnav nodded ok and switched his glance to Khushi who nodded ok.

*Bye...* He said and left GH.

His mind got struck. Khushi's unhappy face flashed in his mind again and again.

RM

Ratna and Manorama were talking with Akash and NK in the living room of RM. They saw Arnav entering. Ratna and Manorama spared a glance and smiled. Shashi already told them that Arnav had lunch in GH.

*Chotte... why are you late? Come and eat lunch* Ratna purposely asked.

*No, Mom... I had lunch already*

*Already...? What's the new habit...? You usually won't eat outside food...* she asked very seriously.

*I had lunch in Gupta house with Shashi's uncle...*

*Ohhh....* NK said teasingly.

*Shashi's uncle requested me... I was not able to deny him* he said strictly.

*You are right, Chotte. You should respect him...*

Arnav nodded yes and went to his room.

Ratna smiled with satisfaction.

*I can't believe Arnav Bhai had lunch with his in-laws* Akash said unbelievably.

*Yes, Akash... I too can't believe...* NK said dreamingly.

*It's because of your Bhabi... her bubbliness is the reason for his change...* Manorama said.

*Not only that Mano, Chotte, really likes Khushi* Ratna said.

*You are right, Mom. Do you remember the incident?* NK asked.

*What incident?* Manorama asked.

*When we were small, we came to Delhi for vacation. Our cousin also came with us to Delhi. Nannav didn't like him a bit...*

*Yes... Bhai didn't even allow him in his room* Akash said.

*Yeah... that's my point. He allows Khushiji not only in his room but also in his life... What does that mean? He not only LIKES her but also LOVES her...* NK said.

*You are right NK. Bhai is undoubtedly in love with her...*Akash said.

*That's why he agreed to the marriage...* Ratna said.

*Can't deny...* Manorama said.

*You know what... Chotte met Khushi two times before saying yes. Then only he accepted the proposal...*

*Really?* Akash asked.

*Yes. I think there should be an agreement between them* Manorama said.

*What do you mean?* Ratna asked.

*After getting a firm affirmation from Khushi only he should have said yes...*

*About what?*

*Maybe anything...*

Ratna became thoughtful.

*Don't be worried Jeeji. Don't we know Arnav bituwa? Whatever the agreement between them can be... Arnav bituwa got married to Khushi. He never lets his wife's reputation goes low...*

Ratna nodded yes.

Though she nodded yes she was not ready to let it go. She decided to watch them keenly.

In the meanwhile

Arnav was sitting in his room thinking about Khushi's sudden changed behavior. She was a nice girl no doubt about that. She never was sad like today. He didn't know she would get upset by his denial. He couldn't tolerate her saddened face. Next time, he should not let it happen. Arnav thought.
