Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh (Completed)

Chapter 33: Their Bonding

Someone placed a hand on her shoulder, and Khushi, startled, turned in fear. Upon seeing Aarav, relief flooded through her, and she exclaimed, "Kaha gaye they? Aisa kya important kaam aa gaya tha aapka jo mujhe aise bheed mein akela chodke chale gaye?? Haan?"

Aarav showed her the teddy bear, saying, "Yeh lene gaya tha tumhare liye. Aur kaha tha maine tumse haath pakadke hi chalna. Mere saath tumne hi haath chudaya tha, aur tumhare phone mein tracker hai. Mujhe pata tha tum yahan ho, toh dundh liya maine tumhe."

Khushi hugged him tightly, leaving Aarav perplexed at her unexpected action. He then noticed the boys standing in the queue. Placing his hand on her head, he consoled her, "Mr. Malhotra ke rehte koi tumhe kuch nahi kar sakta, Khushi."

Exiting the ride, he brought her to the restaurant, ordered food, and said, "Tum khao, main aata hun wapas."

She questioned, "Ab kaha jaa rahe hai aap?"

"Aata hun na!" Aarav spoke. Glancing at the woman sitting on the table with her child, he asked, "Aap kuch der meri beti ka khayal rakhegi?"

Totally amazed at the way he asked a favor, Khushi listened as the lady agreed, "Ji zaroor."

Aarav left, and Khushi glanced in the direction. He folded his shirt sleeves and saw the teenage boys in the queue. "Bahut shauk hai badtameezi karne ka tum logo ko na. Chalo bahar niklo!" he said angrily.

"Are uncle, hum toh bas mazak kar rahe they," one of them said.

"Lekin main mazak nahi kar raha hun, beta! Agar yeh chaaro ladke is queue se bahar nahi aaye toh pura amusement park band karwa dunga main! Aarav Malhotra hai mera naam," he shouted, grabbing everyone's attention.

The crowd began to push them, and the boys finally got out of the queue. "Padhne likhne ki umar hai na tum logo ki? Himmat bhi kaise hui meri beti ko buri nazar se dekhni ki?" Aarav slapped each one of them. He called the manager, who arrived promptly. "Aarav Sir," he greeted him.

"Mr. Tyagi! Yeh hai tumhari security? Meri beti ko kuch hi minute mein mental trauma se guzarna pada inn logo ki wajah se," Aarav scolded him for negligence.

"Sorry Sir, bache hai," the manager apologized.

"Bache hai par yeh nahi ki kuch bhi karenge. I want them out of the park right now! Make sure inke maa baap ko khabar ki jaaye aur dubara inhe kabhi amusement park mein entry na mile," Aarav ordered him to take strict action.

"Aisa hi hoga Sir," the manager agreed.

"Aap aisa nahi kar sakte," one of the boys protested.

Aarav glanced at him, "Sukar karo police ko bulake maine tumhe jail mein nahi daala hai!" He turned towards the boy, who looked down, and the manager escorted them out of the amusement park.

Turning back, Aarav saw Khushi standing there with blank expressions. She turned and walked towards the games stall. Aarav hurriedly followed Khushi to the games stall, where she seemed lost in her thoughts. Gently touching her shoulder, he turned her towards him. "Aapne jo kiya wo karne ki zaroorat nahi thi."

"Zaroorat thi Khushi. Koi tumhe kuch kahe ya misbehave kare, main bardasht nahi karunga," Aarav replied, being a protective father.

Khushi managed a small smile, still processing the events. Aarav took her hand and led her away from the crowd towards a quieter area in the amusement park. "Thik ho na?" he asked.

"Haan hun thik, par aap aise mujhe akela chodke mat jaaya karo! Main..." Khushi said in a bit of anger.

"Main kahi nahi jaa raha hun, tum bas mera haath chudake yahan wahan mat ho jaana. Now, let's enjoy the rest of our day," Aarav said.
