Part 58 Warning

Arnav walked inside the airport with Khushi.

"Arnavji, what's the time?" Khushi intentionally asked him.

Without answering her, Arnav raised his finger towards the clock that was at the airport. That made her disappointed.

"Arnavji, I'm feeling thirsty... I forgot to bring a water bottle"

Arnav went to an old lady who was sitting in the waiters' section.

"Aunty, can I get some water?" he requested the old woman.

The lady extended the bottle.

"Thank you, aunty" Taking it from her hand, he passed the water bottle to Khushi without looking at her.

Khushi took it from him with a pout. She had a sip and gave the bottle back to the old lady.

"Thank you, aunty" She smiled.

"Welcome," the lady said.

That's when Khushi saw him walking towards the chair. He sat on the chair and waited for the announcement of his flight. Khushi too rushed to him and sat next to him.

"Are you angry with me?" She whispered.

Neither Arnav replied to her nor did look at her.

"Arnavji, don't be silent like this. I just played with you. I don't know you will take it seriously"

Arnav said nothing but looked here and there. That's when something caught his attention. He saw the same man sitting at the corner seat who he saw in the hospital. The man was wearing a cap and goggles, checking something on his mobile. Though the man was not looking at them Arnav got alerted. Yet, he didn't feel that the man might be following them. Maybe, that was coincidently happening. He should not suspect anyone without a reason. At the same time, he should not be careless though.

Arnav stood up hearing the announcement and started walking. He sensed that Khushi was not following him. He saw her still sitting, looking at him. Rolling his eyes, Arnav walked back to her. Clutching her hand, he dragged her with him.

"I'm not coming with you, Arnavji... leave my hand," she said in a low tone.

Arnav stopped walking and looked at her with a glare. Khushi gulped down hard.

"I mean..." she stammered.

Arnav again marched towards the flight, pulling her with him. Khushi walked with him and said nothing.

They occupied their seats. Arnav shrank his eyes when the same HULK got into the flight. For the first time, he got a strong doubt whether it was a coincidence or he was following them for a purpose. But he didn't know the person. He had never seen him before. Then what could be the reason for him to bodyguard them? Though Arnav didn't get an answer he decided to be alert. He kept an eye on the man but he didn't even spare his glance at them. That made Arnav compromise himself.

"Arnavji..." Khushi called him.

He looked at her raising his left eyebrow.

"Talk to me..."

He again sat straight. Khushi pinched his bicep. Arnav glared at her and removed her hand from his bicep. She sat keeping her knuckle under her chin all fed-up.

They reached Mumbai after one and half an hour. Hiring a cab, they came back to the Cloud Nine Apartment. Khushi blocked Arnav's way, coming in front of him, spreading her hands.

"Arnavji, tell me, whether you will talk to me or not"

Throwing a sarcastic smirk, Arnav shoved her hand and went to their room. He took out his things from the bag and arranged them in the cupboard. He put the dirty clothes in the washing machine. He saw Khushi sitting on the couch, facing her back to him. He knew what she would be thinking. He chuckled softly. He thought he irritated her a lot. He came to her and scooped her in his hands. Arnav was shocked, to see her crying.
