TALE OF KHUSHI THE GOLD DIGGER (2)

CHAPTER 12- YOU'RE... YOU

"You're bleeding!" He jerked away when he heard that, while she turned apologetic towards him.

His nose do bleed sometimes, as his head aches..

She panicked seeing him like that, he is clearly hiding away his weakness and pain, did she hit him that hard?

She immediately grabbed her edge of her pallu and wiped his blood carefully making sure his blood does not fall and stain his expensive looking white shirt.

Her caring gestures made his heart skip a beat...

"..." Arnav from far frown seeing these couple before him... First she slapped him now she is wiping his face with her pallu? Isn't that bit intimate?

What is she doing..?

Arnav cursed his hiding position where he couldn't hear or see well..

But he is sure that something is brewing between them.. And they both knew each other well to be this close..

He smirked, maybe he could play a matchmaking game.. To save his own skin... Like how Khushi and Him get Payal and Akash together..

His spirit dropped a little how this time Khushi might not his side, but she is the other side instead...

He pursued his lips into smile, still.. He won't give up at least knowing and confirming that Rathore indeed have a feeling for Neelam.. However Neelam's reaction towards Rathore are mixed?

While Arnav is burning up with his new found determination, here Raghu sighed at Neelam, and stepped back away from here.. Still something odd caught his sight..

"If you're not willing, this alliance with Anjali Malik.. Now Raizada will continue.. I have to marry her..." Raghu told Neelam.

Neelam looked at him with look of surprise, "YOU said you won't marry her.."

Raghu smiled at her cleverful mind, "I did, but given to that woman's nature, even I break it off with her, she won't give up on me that easily.." He made puppy face at her.

Neelam clench her fist, why she feels pity?

Raghu hid his smile, "I will never force you.. It's just that.. If you ever change your mind, please don't even hesitate for a sec, just let me know.."

Neelam looks down at her feets, she couldn't help but ask, "Why me? Is it because.." She could say anything he replied casually, "Because You're.. YOU. That's the reason. There will be no other woman that will fit that position perfectly like you.." He said, leaving her all breathless..

He smiled and left the place, while she stood there feeling all concerned and confused..

Tomorrow he is getting engaged to Anjali! And he is asking her to marry him instead?

She clutched her rudramala, holding it close to her heart..

____________

The day turned up, her engagement went fine, the day of her marriage arrived..

Dressed bright red and heavy lehenga, the long veil covered her head, the reached the mandap with huge smile on her face..

Her groom arrived, the took his place beside her, filled her maag with sindoor and a diamond and gold mangalsutra tied around her neck.

She laughed in heart, finally she is officially became, Mrs RATHORE..

Mrs Anjali Rathore, wife of Raghuvendra Pratap Rathore...

She smiled at Arnav's ashen face, Khushi is fuming in jealousy while she been marked as his.

She is the envy of every woman, the queen herself.. She glanced at the most handsome man, her Raghu.. Her Rathore..
