FF: AJNABEE - SEASON 2
PART 9
It was very awkard inside the car with Arnav driving and Khushi beside her. Khushi has decided not to look anywhere but at outside .... She clutched the edge of her dupatta tight in her fist controlling her inside turmoil ..
Arnav glanced at Khushi still concerntrating on the road before he switch on the music as the soft Sufi music played around ...
Arnav : Mein Tumhe Thori khaa  jaunga Khushi ? I never knew you are this much uncomfortable with me around ( He asked as Khushi looked up at him )
Khushi :  Sufi ? You still listen to these songs ? You didn't change ..
Arnav : It's bring an ultimate peace to the mind ...
Khushi : It brings boredom ... Devi Mayiaa knows how you spend hours after hours listening to these song ..
Arnav : I thought you enjoy Sufi as well ...You always accompany me to Sufi Concerts .
Khushi : Ohh Hello .. It was you ..who literally force me to attend such concerts every time ... Do you have any idea how I felt there
Arnav : And you keep sulking through out the concert ... Din raat agar jalebi khati rahogi toh.. thori samajh paogi ...
Khushi was about to say something but then reality struck upon her, as she closed her eyes letting out a sigh. Opening her eyes, she looked away ... Nothing can be same as before .. The man sitting beside her is not the same Man with whom she has dreamt to spend her life along ..
Arnav let out a sigh as his grip tightened on the steering wheel..
Arnav: How is everyone at home ? Di, Nani ? You are still in touch with them .. Aren't you ?
He asked making Khushi looked up at him as she replied
Khushi : So you  finally remember having a family in Delhi ?
Arnav : What do you mean to say ?
Khushi : kuch nahi .. It amazed me that you suddenly remembers about a family that you left behind in Delhi just to persue your own selfishness ? Have you realize what Nani and Di would have went through on your betrayal ..
Arnav pulled the brakes making the car comes to a halt ...as Khushi jerked up on her seat
Arnav : Get Out !!  ( He shout making Khushi looked up at him with her eyes widened ) I said Out ..  ( He said as he leans opening the door as he roughly pushed her out of the seat making khushi fell on the road over her face )
She looked up at him with her eyes reflecting with anger ... She winced in pain as the rough surface hit her skin .. Arnav smirks at her ...
Arnav : Go back from where you came from .. or else You are going to regret a very long time ....( He said looking thoroughly at her before He shut the door close on her face, as he took a U turn and drove away letting the mud splash on her )
Khushi gasped looking at his disappearing form before she stood up collecting her bag ? Does he even remains a human ? She let out a sigh pressing her lips together as she looks around only to find her near her locality .. She took a deep breathe walking ahead toward the house..
****************
Buaji : Haye Re Nandkishore ...where you are coming from in this condition ? Bitiya what happened to you ...
She asked being concerned as she saw Khushi sitting on the couch holding her ankle
Buaji:  Khushi ? Kya hua ? You are scaring me ?
Khushi : I am fine Buaji .. Nothing happened that can break my confidence .. Ek Rakshash hai bua ji ... jise mein Rajkumar samjha tha .. ( There was a Devil whom I have mistaken as a Prince )
Buaji sighed as she sat beside Khushi wiping out the mud from her face by the edge of her saree pallu
Buaji:  Bitiya .. You know nah that you can share anything with me ? ( Khushi nodder her head ) Why I feel that you have already met that man for whom you have came to Mumbai ..
Khushi : Buaji ...I have loved a wrong person  ..who thought it would be easy to break me down .. but I will not give up ....I will not get defeated ... I will fight back .. I will fight for the wrongs that happened to me ...
Buaji : Aise Insaan ko toh tarap tarap ke marna chahiye ... aise  pyaari bachhi koi rulata hai ...
Khushi let out a sigh as Buaji pulled her in her embrace
Buaji : why are you staying in this city Khushi ? Do you think that man would ever accept the wrongs that He did to you ..
Khushi : may be not Buaji ... He have no regression ...But If I go back to Delhi ... He will think that I got afraid of him .. No Buaji .. and top of that ..I want to support the family who have stood beside me in all ups and down ... and Mumbai is the best option ...
Buaji : Khushi ...Are you Ok with your job ? Is it I am worrying unnecessarily...
Khushi : It's the work pressure nothing else .. I should get fresh ... I got all dirty ...
Buaji : Tu sambhal ke chal nahi sakti ... Rest kar I am bringing oinmint for you
Khushi : ji ..Buaji ...( She said as she limped inside )
*********************
Arnav was standing near the poolside, grazing at the water being lost in his own thought ..What is wrong with him .. Why he is allowing the emotions to play on him ...
And How dare she is to spat back on him .. How dare she is to stand infront of him and challenge him ? What she thought of herself that he will bow down in front of her... Never!!  He will show her What it means to oppose him ...
His Family ? She is the reason that makes his family turned against him ... What she think of herself ? That He will let everything go .....Never !! He thought Khushi will go back after few days but No the girl seems to be adamant ...
But then why does her teary eyes started affecting him ? ASR get a grip ! You cannot get Weak .... She don't affect you .... Not any more ..
His chain of thoughts were broken as Ishita offered a Cup of Coffee to him ..
He smiled as he took the cup, sipping the hot drink as he looked at his wife ..
Arnav : How do you always know ? I was craving for it only .. Thank you ..
Ishita: If a wife won't understands her husband then who would ? Tell me what is bothering you ... Is it Office ?
Arnav : Nothing such .. It' Just slight headache ..
Ishita : Come let me help you with a hot oil head massage .. ( She said as she pulled him inside the room making her sit on the recliner )
She walked towards the drawer taking out an oil, she reached behind Arnav rubbing the oil in his scalp
Arnav : Ishita ... Darling you are worrying unnecessarily .. The Coffee is enough .. ( Arnav sighed as Ishita glares at him while Arnav finally closed his eyes enjoying the  massage )
Ishita : Isn't it relaxing ... ( Arnav  opened his eyes before he pulled her infront of him as he kissed her fingers )
Arnav : You really know some Magic ... Feeling much better ...
Ishita : Stop over praising me will you .. But What is the matter if I may ask ... Work ?
Arnav : I don't know I am getting very much stressed up these days ... Ishita tell me what you will do if some day suddenly your past came and stood infront of you .. something which you don't want to remind of. 
Ishita: Arnav ? Kya hua hai ? sab thik toh hai nah ?
Arnav let out a sigh as he glanced at Ishita before they heard a wail of Ashi who must have fell down from the bed in sleep
Arnav : Ashi ... Your daughter have crossed the boundaries  ( Arnav laughed along with Ishita before they rushed towards their daughter as Ashi wraps her arms around Arnav as Ishita makes her gulp some water through the feeder ..
Arnav : Kuch nahi hua baccha ... You are my brave baby ? ( Ashi yawns closing her eyes hugging her father mumbling in sleep )
Ishita : Hogaya Aaj apka kaam karna ... your daughter is going to stick on you all the night ...( Arnav chuckles as He carried their daughter to the bed .. placing her in the middle he rode up on the bed in his side patting her back to sleep , as Ashi slammed her hand on the empty side before Ishita sighed getting on her side as she leans towards her daughter and said tickling her tummy ) Why I feel you are awake Baccha ?
Ashi popped open her one eye before she burst out in laughter before turning towards her father showing him claws ..
Ashi : Papai ... save me mumma is tickling me
Arnav : So it was all drama? Huh ? ( He said glaring her who pouts lowering her eyes but burst out in laughter throwing her hands in the air as Arnav get hold of her while nuzzling his face against her tummy )
Ishita : It's been too late now we would definately get complains from the neighbours ( She stated, as Arnav and Ashi looked up at Ishita ) No ... you both stay there
Ashi : Mumum ko gud gudi do .. ( She said crawling towards her, as soon the laughters echoes aroubd the air as the trio started tickling eachother )

Arnav : Seriously Ishita ? You are calling a stranger to our place ? Dimag kya ghaas charne gayi hai ? I agree she is a kid but what about you ?
Ishita : Aap office jao .... You are good in handling office  and let me handle the household chores ... log o pe itna shaq mat kiya kijiye ... Aap hi toh bolte the ki Dosti bharose ka dusra naam hai
Arnav : Ishita... Things were different then ... Neither I was ASR nor you were the wife of ASR who makes enemies more than friends ... I don't trust anyone when it comes to You both ... ( He said patting her cheeks ) But I know you won't listen to me ...
Ishita : Arnav .. you were talking about some past yesterday ...  kya hua ? Did something from your past is bothering you ...
Arnav : Past ? Ishita there is nothing to worry about ...
Ishita: Arnav  Are you sure ? Why you always avoid talking about your past

Ishita : But sometimes Past leaves a very strong impacts in present .  ( She whispers glancing at her husband who kissed Ashi's cheeks before leaving for the office .
