Crown

chapter 17

LOVE BLOSSOMS

"bhabhi come-on, here i thought you were the great warrior princess of lahore. but all i am getting to see is a blushing bride who is missing her husband so much that she even forget to shield herself when i strike with my sword" akash moved his swords to khushi's right only to be stopped by her with her sword in enlightening speed.

"do not listen to him khushi. akash is just trying to distract you . since he can not sword well so he always use another way to strike his opponent" shyam winked at akash scowling expression at his brother's open insult .

"bad swordsmen i might be but i am an honest man bhai unlike some people" akash moved his sword in circular motion , holding the steel shield in the other , his eyes still on khushi's eyes and hands with caution .

"stop akash concentrate on not losing rather than building up tales" shyam said amused while sipping his tea clearly enjoying the morning entertainment he has been bestowed with today. nothing is better than seeing your younger brother badly lose to a girl he thought .

khushi's whole concentration still on her and his moves . her mind busying building up the next strategy. her sword almost scratch akash skin which made him stubbed for a little while in shock while khushi just smirked . no fun while fighting is certainly her moto.

"well it's good that you are good at these things they will certainly keep you entertain . especially these few months when brother is busy cuddling with his blond and blue eyed son haa.." akash saw her eyes gone dark and her composure lose down for a while , perfect time to attack . taking advantage of her distraction , akash made a fierce attack but khushi soon shielded herself and attacked with more fierce attitude.

"wow real fight began just now" shyam said looking at the two fighting and clinging their swords with such speed that it made his head faint.

shyam fell down on the floor , his sword and shield fell far away from continuous attacks by khushi. she put her sword on akash's chest while shyam stood clapping and whistling .

"tigress!" akash voice come in whisper with a smug smile on his face as he looked at her.

"don't ever speak such ill things about my husband otherwise the next sword will pierce through you heart" khushi's words might have amused shyam but akash felt a burden fall on his chest knowing that his brother haven't told her truth till now. but how could he leave this opportunity to have his small little revenge on him.

"i am telling you the truth . why don't you that ask husband of yours." akash said smirking

"i don't feel jealous anymore i know he is mine and mine alone and i don't like sharing" khushi said taking off her sword from his chest . he won't get worked up by akash's stupid jokes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

khushi lay awaken in her bed at two in the morning . bereft of sleep she moved here and there on her bed trying to sleep . her mind kept on replying akash's words making her heart skin deeper and deeper . could this be true . is the person who have come to mean her so much is betraying her .

is he really have son . noo.. it can't be true as shyam said akash has a way of making very stupid jokes . she should ignore his words. she love arnav and trust him. why would he hide such a thing . he loves her and she has seen it in his eyes , she can't be wrong about that.

she took a deep breath and closed her eyes . just concentrate on the good things she thought. remember all the beautiful and happy moments you have spent with arnav she tried to memories those happy moments she has spent with him before him leaving back to london .
