43 Face Off

Part 43 Face Off

Arnav felt heavenly peace in his heart. He didn't show it openly. It didn't mean he was not happy. But Khushi's condition was completely opposite to his. She was worried about Anjali and Shali. Shyam might hurt them to get her. He was the most dangerous person she had ever seen. He was a merciless devil who didn't care about hurting people for his benefit. She looked gloomy. Arnav noticed that and he understood the reason. He badly wanted to change her mood. It won't happen if she was sitting at home.

Arnav got ready and came to Khushi's room. He saw her lying on the bed and fiddling with the pillow.

"Khushiiii..." he called her, standing at the doorstep.

Khushi sat on the bed, jerking.

"Get ready... We have to go to the recording" he said.

Khushi nodded ok as she also wanted a change... at least for a while. She didn't know how to handle the situation. Shyam escaped from jail. It won't be wiser to go to Anjali. It would make the situation more critical if she went to Shali villas.

Khushi came downstairs to get ready for the recording. Arnav smiled at her.

"Shall we go?" he asked her.

Khushi nodded yes and followed him. Arnav started the car. He glanced at Khushi from time to time who was looking gloomy.

"Khushi... Shall I say something?" he started slowly.

Khushi looked at him plainly.

"We will bring your sister to RM."

Khushi looked at him surprisingly.

"I know you want to be with your sister in this situation. She had no one but only you. In this situation, you can't go to her but she can come to you. If you feel this is a good idea, we will talk to your sister regarding the"

"I can convince Di," she said excitedly.

Arnav nodded ok smiling.

"Talk to her on phone. Get to know her mindset. Then, tell her where you are" Arnav said,

"Ok"

They reached the recording studio. NK was already waiting for them as it was the movie director.

"Hi Khushi... Hi Nannav..." NK greeted them.

Arnav nodded his head slightly and walked in after making sure that Khushi was following him. Arnav stopped and looked at Khushi.

"Shall we go for a take or do you need time to do a rehearsal?" he asked.

"I need just ten minutes," Khushi said.

"Ok... Do it" Arnav walked to the recording room. He stopped before entering it as NK sat next to Khushi.

"What do you decide about my proposal?"

"I'm thinking about it, Nanne... Very soon I will tell you my decision. I won't take much time" she said.

"Sounds so nice, Khushi. You have no idea how excited I'm"

Khushi smiled. Arnav rolled his eyes.

"NK," Arnav called him.

"Yes, Nannav?"

"I need to talk to you. Come"

"Now?"

"Haan now"

"Excuse me, Khushi"

NK went to Arnav.

"Tell me Nannav "

"She asked me for ten minutes to practice the song. Why are you disturbing her? How will she sing the song up to our expedition if she is tensed?" He chided NK.

"I don't think she is tensed. In fact, girls won't be tense with the person they like the most. Khushi looks so cool to me. So, she like me the most" NK said cheerfully.

"Until the song recording is over, don't disturb her," Arnav said.

"But, after the recording, you will take her home..." he said disappointed.

Arnav didn't deny it.

After ten minutes, Khushi became ready for the recording. As usual, she completed it in a single take and got a big round of applause. Arnav smiled at her contently.

Khushi came out of the recording room. That was when one of the assistants of Arnav came to Khushi.

"Khushi ma'am, your sister wants to see you," he said.

"My sister?" Khushi was surprised.

He nodded yes.

"Where is she?"

"She is waiting for you in the car"

Khushi rushed out with excitement, without thinking about anything. She saw a car waiting outside. She ran towards the car and opened its door. She was confused not to see Anjali in the car. She straightened herself perplexedly. She jerked sensing someone behind her. She turned behind and frowned seeing a man. Her facial expression became horrified as she recognized who the man was... Shyam. She was shocked to see him in disguise.

"How are you, Khushi?" He asked with the pride of finding her.

Khushi tried to go from the place but Shyam clutched her upper arm.

"Where are you running? Do you think you can escape from me?"

"I don't have to do it... Who are you to me? Why should I escape from you? You are the one who escaped from the police" she spat fire through her eyes.

"I escaped only for you, Khushi. Don't you know why? It's because I love you" he said shamelessly.

"Love my foot..." She clenched her teeth.

"Think whatever... I need you. I don't care whether you are fine with it or not" he said with attitude.

Clutching her shoulders, he tried to push her inside the car. Khushi struggled not to get in. Shyam clutched her nape and pushed her into the car forcefully. He opened the front door and was about to get in, a strong punch made him collapse. Before Shyam managed himself, he got a few more punches and kicks.

Khushi got down from the car, seeing Arnav hitting Shyam black and blue.

"How dare you touch her..." Arnav shouted in a manic while hitting Shyam.

Shyam tried to hit him back but even a single punch didn't fall on Arnav. he could not even raise his hand at Arnav. Even before he raised his hand, he got punched. Shyam bent down suddenly to take mud from the ground. He sprinkled it on Arnav's face. Arnav closed his eyes as it went in his eyes. Using the meantime, Shyam ran taking the car. Arnav squeezed his eyes. Shyam stopped the car a little away from them,

"Aie... I won't leave you... you are going to face the worst consequence... let's see... how you are going to face it" he left the place.

Khushi stood gulping down. She saw Arnav trying to open his eyes. Khushi rushed to him.

"Wait, Arnavji" she held his hand.

Arnav stood calmly. Khushi opened his eyes and blew his eyes. Arnav was not able to keep his eyes open as it looked like, Khushi was kissing his eyes. He stepped back from her.

"Arnavji, wash your eyes," She said.

Arnav nodded ok. He so wanted to let her blow her eyes but his mind was roaming around what Shyam said. He was a wanted criminal. The police were searching for him yet he challenged them. What was there in his mind? Did he have the plan to destroy them? What was that? He became tense. He immediately called Alex and told him about what just happened. Alex became thoughtful.

"Arnav, I send you the recording we retrieved... I think hearing that is necessary. I want you to know what kind of person he is"

Arnav has silently listened. He didn't know why Alex wanted him to hear the recording. Yet, he said,

"Ok, send it to me"

Alex sent it to him. Arnav listened to it. His blood boiled when he heard it. He cursed himself for letting Shyam escape. He thought he should have killed Shyam. He will definitely do it if he got another chance.
