FF: MISTRESS- A TAINTED FATE
PART 44
Days have started passing by, Arushi has become one month old .. She knows very well how to keep people tagged around her .... Specially She knows to wrap her father around her tiny finger ....
She keeps lazying around all the day but gets all active during Night letting her parents stay awake along with her ..
Arnav : Arrey ?  She is still sleeping ? ( He asked as he walked out of the washroom getting changed in his casual sweat shirt ) 
Khushi : Wait Mr. Raizada .... She is getting her battery recharge .. She will start her job by the midnight and wake everyone around .. ( Arnav let out a laugh as he sat beside her before glancing around the gifts placing on the recliner )
Arnav : Again ? She got gifts again? Now who came ?
Khushi : Nisha and Ayush Uncle came to meet her in the evening ... and He brought so many things for her .. Everyone is spoiling her ..
Arnav : huh ? I don't understand why Mr. Malik is so much attached with my daughter... I don't like them getting so involved with Arushi ..
Khushi ( sighed) : Arrey ..She is his Grand daughter ... He definately have some expectation on her .. You can't take away his right ... Cannot you let the past go .. Arnav ..I know you might have reasons for your conflict with Ayush Uncle but think  in his prospect ... He have came forward then why are you holding yourself back ...
Arnav : Khushi ... I ... ( He let out a sigh ) I cannot forget the past ..  Not everything can be forgivable Khushi  ..
He  let out a sigh as he placed a kiss on Arushi's forehead before He stood up walking toward the frenchdoor ..
Khushi let out a sigh walking to him placing a comforting palm on his shoulder ...
Khushi : Do you still miss Swati ? ( She asked as the lump forming inside her throat as Arnav glanced up at her his lips twisting it into a tight smile )
Arnav : If it's the insecurities that makes you ask this again .. then You are worrying unnecessarily ... Swati is my past ...  A Memory craved somewhere down the memory lane ... ( Khushi glared at him aa Arnav sighed ) Well, I will not lie  I used to miss Swati sometimes ... but that before you comes into my life . ( He took her palm kissing her knuckles ) You are Special to me Khushi .. A Very Special One .... I have never being involved with anyone so deeply but with You it's  different .. I cannot bring myself to name the feelings that I have for you ..But It's not just an attraction ... more to it ..
Khushi : So ? Are you in love with me ?  ( She asked as Arnav shot up looking up at her as the silence engulfed around  them )
Khushi could hear her own heart beats thumping louder against her chest .. It was Arnav who opened his mouth to reply
Arnav : Love ? You know my theories about Love ... I don't want to name our relationship with something that I myself have no belief in it .. ( Khushi let out a sigh ) what about your thought about your concept on Love ?  I never got a chance to ask you about your prospectives ..
Khushi : Prospectives ?  Love is an Emotions, which cannot be described in words .. It can happen anytime any where .. ( She let out a deep sigh )
Arnav : sounds filmy Khushi ... So have you fell in love ever ? Or anyone precise you want to fell in love with ..
Khushi: Love is an Eternal Bond that can happen between anyone ..  Not Necessary it would always being in a Romantic way ...  But if you want my description in a Romantic Way .. Kahi koi Unsuna Unjana sa  aata tha khwaboon mein ..  Who can understand me very well ... the prince charming riding into a white horse ... Kneeling down infront of me holding my hands proposing me like a fairy tale ....  and I will know him as soon as I meet him
Arnav : And how you going to recognize him ? Your Prince Charming  ( He said chuckling twinkling his fingers ) Are you sure You are a mother of a kid ? No I feel you and Arushi are of same age ...
Khushi : Mazak Ura lijiye .. But I know My Prince Charming is there breathing along with me in this same world ... ( she said rubbing her palm ) And How will I recognise him, The Heart Beat... It will help me to reach him ....
She said with a smile looking up at Arnav who just smile but his smile does not reach his eyes letting out a deep sigh He turned to walk away as Khushi hold his hand stopping him...
He tilted his head looking up at her before she took his palm placing it just above her heart making him look up at him ...
Khushi : Can you hear it ?  ( She asked looking straight in his eyes before she erase the gap between them before she took his palm placing it again on his chest ) Now hear it ? ( She asked raising her eyebrow ) Humari Dhadkan Ek Hai ... ( She whispered, as she rode on his feet tiptoing She snaked her arms around  his neck as she nibbled on his lips before mumbling ) It's You ... Arnav Singh Raizada .. I Love you .. ( She said between the kiss as Arnav stepped back before his arms wrapped around her waist after few seconds ...
The few minute passed by in silence with they involved themselves in the kiss .. It was only Arushi's cries that brought them out of their moment ..
Khushi bite her underlip feeling shy as she looked up at Arnav who reached towards his daughter's side .. Grabbing her in his arms He started cooning her to clam her daughter before pushing the feeder in her mouth to make her gulp some water ...
Arnav : You wake up Baby ? ( He asked ruffling her hair as the litle toddler keep staring at her with wide eyes )
Arnav sat on the bed with his daughter who was blinking her eyes as she pushed away the feeder ...
Khushi : All she needs her father attention all the time .  It's 1q pm and she wake up .. Well  Jagte Raho ... Jagte Raho .. ( She laughed out as she sat beside him as Arushi seems to be in playful mood )
Arnav : Khushi ? You really mean what you said ? I ... You really Love Me ?
Khushi : Kyu ? You want me to love someone else ? ( She said narrowing her eyes as Arnav glared back at her ) I know your prospectives on love and Marriage ....I think My Love is enough for both of us .. and Your Care and Assurance is something that I cannot let it go ..Not when We have a daughter around ..
Arnav : You know I am not habituate of so much happiness ...  ? I Have a very bad past and I ...
Khushi : And I know you are afraid of your past .. Arnav I have heard about what happened in the past ... Nisha told me .. I never said it to you ...because I don't want you to feel the Pain .. and it should be you who would come and share me his pain and I am always there to hold you and support .. The world may think  you wrong Arnav Singh Raizada but not me .. Because You are the One who stood beside me when everyone turned their back on me ... And I mean it Arnav ... Neither I am here to  sympathise you ... Nor I am the one to judge you ..  All that Mean Is YOU beside me ...
Khushi said as she placed her palm on his leaning kissing Arushi's forhead who giggled throwing her legs in the air ...
****************************
Arnav glanced at Khushi who was sleeping on the bed with Arushi cuddling against het chest .. She look so beautiful  while sleeping
" I love you Arnav Singh Raizada "
" Pyaar toh Ek Ehsaas Hai Jo Bas Ho Jata Hai "
" All that mean is You Beside Me "
Arnav Singh Raizada  let out sigh as he throws his head backward .. 
He have never thought that there would be a day where he would think for starting a family again for himself .. Family ?
He does not even know when Khushi has become an intergal part of his life ..  He didn't even realise when his passion for Khushi goes beyond limits ..
He smile as he glanced up at the two sleeping figures.. His life revolves around these two ... Arnav Singh Raizada seems to come a long way .. A Certain Khushi Kumari Gupta who enters his life as a story of Night suddenly became a part of his Life ....
"Ek Hawa Ka Jhoka "
He sighed as he looked ahead towards the stary sky visible from the outside window ...
******************************
Arnav : Khushi have you spoken with Anny ? I am getting mail from the University .. If she does not join by next month ..It would be the final call  for her after which they will cancell her name from the list ..
Khushi : What am I going to say in this ? Amma has being strict to her words of not allowing  Anny to persue her career ..
Arnav : That is wrong Khushi .. Your Parents are actually doing wrong ... I agree they are angry on our decision ... I agree their thoughtd does not match with us but sacrificing Anny's studies for her own Ego is wrong ...
Khushi : Arnav .. We belongs from a very middle class family where these things leaves a very bad impact on the society .. I am not judging right and wrong ... I am just telling you on the prospect of the society where living with a man under a roof brings a woman in a wrong light .. Marriage holds an importance to my Family ...and .. ( She let out a sigh ) You don't worry on it ..  ..I am sure Anny will make Amma agree ...
Arnav : Khushi .. I am thinking to throw a party on my daughter's behalf ... It's already being a month since Arushi is born but we have not done anything to Celebrate her Birth ... Even everyone from my circle have been asking for a party .
Khushi : ( shook her head ) Nani was asking to keep a puja for her wellbeing on her fortyfiftth day .... It's a tradition Arnav ... For her Wellfare.. and It will be held on Your Father's place ( Arnav frowned )
Arnav :  I am ok to do the ritual but not at my father's place ... I am not Ok with it ... The place holds lot of memories that I don't want to remind ..and Secondly I have not forgotten anything ..I might allowed you and Arushi to mingle with the Malik Family but I don't trust them specially Mr. Malik
**********************
Arnav : Did you get any clue, who was behind the accident ? Aman I cannot let the one behind this to roam around freely .. any of our Rivals ..
Aman : There is no suspecting act found  from the Rival but there is something you should know  Henry Lewis .. He has been seen visiting  Raichand Industries these days ... If sources are to be believed He have joined the Company ...
Arnav who was playing with the paper weight stop doing so looking up at him ..
Arnav : Raichand ? You mean Abhay Raichand ?  ( He let out a sigh as he stood up walking  towards the window ) Dig more into it.. The continious  attacks on me ... then trying to kill Khushi  is something that makes me more confident that there is someone behind us .. I can't take risk to it ...  We need to very Cautious ..I cannot let my Family slipped away again like in Past .. Arushi is very Precious Aman ..
Aman : I understand ....
