66 Arnav's Love

Part 66 Arnav's Love

"Nikita, here..." Rani said.

Khushi jerked. Nikita? Was not her name Rani? Who was Nikita? The name sounded familiar to her. Where did she hear the name? She tried to remember.

"How are you, Rani?" Amrita asked teasingly.

"Stop calling me Rani, aunty," Nikita said wearily.

*With whom she was talking?* Khushi thought.

"Ok ok... Where were you when I come to RM? I (didn't see you there...?"

"I was here only, aunty. Listening to your talks hiding behind the wall."

Khushi's mind sparkled. Hiding behind the wall? Rani was hiding behind the wall when Amrita talked with Arnav. Was it Amrita on the call? What was the connection Nikita shared with Amrita? Something clicked in her mind. Yes... Nikita was the girl Amrita wanted Arnav to marry. She even brought Nikita's photo to RM to show it to Arnav. She was so modern in the photograph. But now, she had been tying her hair into a plat, combing it flatly. That was why she could not recognize Nikita. But, what was she doing in RM? What was the purpose? Was she here to trap Arnav?

"What's happening in RM? Is there any effect of my visit?" Amrita asked.

"Khushi told Nani and Anjali about your visit"

"Anjali? Who is she?"

"She is Khushi's sister..."

"Did she come there to meet her sister?"

"She is staying in RM only..."

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, aunty, from the time I came to RM, she is here only. She was given a separate room in RM"

Amrita was silent.

"Why do you become silent, aunty?"

"Nothing... You said you want to talk to me leisurely... Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I wanted to tell you, what you are thinking about your son is utterly wrong"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you know nothing about your son. You underestimated him. He is not what you think"

"Stop beating around the bush, Niki. Tell me clearly"

"What did you tell me about Arnav?"

"What did I say?"

"Didn't you say he is a tough nut to crack? He won't get into any relationship? He won't give head to any girl in his life? He won't like to touch any girl because he is not weaker?"

"Yes, I said. Why are you recalling them now?"

"Whatever you said is wrong because your son is acting utterly opposite to it"

"What do you mean?"

"He had fallen for Khushi's head over the heal"

*Is it?* Khushi smiled inwardly.

"No way... There is no chance for that to happen"

"It happened..."

"You should have mistaken... I know my son. He always sneered at girls... Recently, he insulted Avanti in his studio, I heard it"

"I too know that. Avanti herself told me how Arnav insulted her. And, she told me something else too... She said, how he got angry when Khushi tried to get away from him. That day itself she warned me to be careful..."

"Don't forget she also wants to marry Arnav. She would have told you that to make you back off"

"I too don't believe her completely. That's why I wanted to know it on my own. That's why I came here to see it on my own"

*Oh... this was the purpose why Nikita came to RM? she had guts* Khushi thought.

"Don't you trust me?"

"I trust you, aunty. I don't come here only to check their married life progress but also for a chance to get a place in Arnav's heart"

"You will surely get it..."

"I don't think so..."

"Don't lose hope"

"I lost my hope when I saw him pounce on Khushi like a hungry lion who was starving for ages to get its prey..."

*What Khushi guessed was right. It was Nikita who saw them together*

Amrita lost her speaking ability. Arnav pounced on Khushi? What the hell was she telling?

"Yes, aunty... It happened this afternoon. I saw it in front of my eyes. He hugged her as if he took birth only to do that... That too in the daytime... Without hesitation."

"Niki beta... Arnav is also a human. He too has feelings. He is twenty-eight after all... Know the difference between love and lust"

"I know the difference between love and lust very well, aunty. I have met such looks many times. What Arnav has for Khushi in his heart can't be just lust. His eyes follow her wherever she goes. He steals her glances. I saw longing in his eyes for her... I didn't see the hesitation in his eyes when he hugged her. He did that rightfully"

Khushi thanked Nani and her idea of making Arnav eat drumsticks. She didn't know Nani's idea would work this way.

"His eyes are so expressive, beta. That's why you should have felt so... He would have just looked at her, beta..."

"He looked at me with the same eyes only, aunty... I didn't see any expression in his eyes when he looked at me"

"Don't see from one point, Niki"

"Of course, I don't... the way he kissed her told me stories, aunty. He didn't marry her due to circumstances... He should have waited for the chance to marry her. In fact, he would have married her even though the circumstances would not have forced him"

"What's your point?"

"I'm leaving RM. I don't want to waste my time here." Nikita said cut and right.

"Don't you want to marry him?"

"I wanted to marry him but not now. Not because he is married. It's because my life is precious to me. I can't spend it on someone who is not interested in anyone other than his wife"

"You will repent for this decision of yours when Avanti wins him over you"

"Avanti can win me but not Khushi. Do you know why? Because your son won't give a chance to anyone. He will kill if anyone comes in his way. You have no idea how he barked at me when I entered his recording room. He doesn't care about anyone but only Khushi."

Amrita sighed.

"I don't know what magic that girl threw on my son," Amrita said with annoyance.

"Of course, she should have magic in her. Or else, your son like an arrogant man would not have fallen for her."

"Stop praising her, Niki"

"I'm not praising her. I just am telling the truth. Thank God, I didn't start loving Arnav, going on your words. If it had happened, I would have become mad for loving such an annoying guy. You won't believe he looks at me like an outer space creature. His gesture itself makes me irritated. I'm leaving RM and that's final"

"Ok... Your wish"

Nikita disconnected the call. Taking her bag, she walked to the door to leave RM. She was horrified to see Khushi, getting up from behind the couch.
