Lavanya:Thts bcs ASR sounds so hot....n Arnav sounds boring fr the man he is!!!

Khushi:I don drink bcs I cant handle myself when I am drunk...I think even u wouldn’t be able to ...now...so....
Lavanya:Plss...Khushi jus keep quiet...let me have....
Khushi sighed n sat simply knwing that she wouldn’t agree no watter wat...she thought to stay thr itself...with Lavanya...knwing that leavin her all alone in this state wasn’t a good idea....considering all drunk men around....
NK came after sometime....
NK:Common Khushi..lets go...di n jiju are already thr.....

NK:Plss Khushi....U knw na wat bad dancer I am n i cant fool myself infrnt of others right....so plss give me some company....

NK:Oh...she would be fine....trust me...Its only few mins....common....
Khushi(sighs):Ok....
Khushi n Nk started dancing together....with Khushi smiling seeing him dance weirdly n Nk trying the best....but all in vain....
Now it was time fr slow dance....N Nk held Khushi’s hands n started movin with the music with Khushi lookin at Lavanya now n then to make sure she was safe...but somebody patted on NK’s back....it was none other than ASR
ASR:Can i get a chance to dance with my wife NK??
NK:Wat a surprise!!Wat r u dng here bro....u had work right??

ASR:Ppl r too drunk n its too dark to notice that I am here NK...
NK:Oh...Ya....here u go....(n leaves them alone)
ASR:(Looking at Khushi)..Hy...
Khushi:Hy...
ASR:(asks fr her hand)Shall we??
Khushi:(places her hand on his)sure...
Arnav placed his hand on her waist ...n held her right hand in his left n started movin with the music...lookin at her face....her features very closely....she had a beautiful eyes...thick eyebrows...a sharp nose....n beautiful kissable lips...n a small mole near her lips on the left side...he always thought that was her kajal that she put thr to avoid evil eyes frm her...but he realised it was a mole...in the right place...he thought...totally immersed in her beauty....
Here Khushi was unaware abt Arnav’s gaze...bcs she was lookin at Lavanya’s side n saw some 3 guys who were drunk talkin to her...n even she was talkin with them in the drunk state...so she kept her eyes over them nt to miss anythn...
Arnav felt she was missin the beats...to the music...so he called her name...
ASR:Khushi...
Khushi:Ya...
ASR:R u nt comfortable in this type of dance??Its that u r nt movin with the music...
Khushi:No....No nthn lik that...(she din want to tell him that she was worried abt Lavanya...as she had seen both of them havin a bad conversation most of the times)
ASR:I think...u like classical dance right??I heard frm Nani that ur gng to classes....
Khushi(shocked):Ya....
ASR:Trust me...just move ur body along with me...its nt that hard...
Khushi:Ok...
Arnav continued his conversation even Khushi frgt abt Lavanya...n started dancing along with spkn...abt some random topics...now she was enjoyin with whatever they were spkn...totally unaware that guys with Lavanya were taking her out...frm the backside of pub...with Lavanya barely knwing wat is happenin around her...
Now Arnav gt a call...so
ASR:Excuse me khushi...This is imp....
Khushi:sure...
He Leaves outside the pub to take call as he was unable to hear inside...
Here Khushi remembers abt Lavanya to find her missing frm the lounge...she searches fr her in the dance floor..but she was nt thr...so she asks a waiter who was servin her...abt her whereabouts to which he infrms that she had gone out with some guys frm back side of the door...
Fear grips her n comes out frm the pub frm back side of pub...n immediately calls NK...which goes unanswered ...she tries again...
NK came out of the pub...so that he can talk to Khushi..he din knw y was she callin he thought may be its urgent so he comes out....
IN CALL
NK picks the call
NK:Hello...Khushi...
Khushi(tensed):NK plss come near the back entrance of the pub now...I think Lavanya is in danger...come now...I need ur help now...
NK:OK...I am cmn now...
Arnav who had come to take a call had finished the call n was cmn back when he saw him seeing his tensed face...
ASR:NK....wats the matter??
NK:Arnav ....Khushi called now...she has asked me to come to the back entrance of pub...n like Lavanya is in some prblm...
ASR:(shocked)wat?Common lets go...I ll kill that Lavanya if she is trying to make another stunt here...(in anger)
Both of them rushes to the spot....
Meanwhile Khushi had seen some guys trying to put Lavanya in their car...n Lavanya was almost asleep to notice...
Khushi shouted fr them...
Khushi:Hy...you....leave her...whr r u takin her?
GUY1:Its none of ur business...stay away lady...
Khushi:(angrily)Just leave her....
Guy2:Bhai...lets take this one also...we’ll have two grls fr tonight...she is also pretty...
GUY3:ya....
(with that 3 started advancing towards her)
Khushi:(angrily)I am warnin u just stay away!!
Three of them laugh at her words n starts movin forward....
Arnav n NK reached the spot..both could see wat is happening frm far distance...but stood rooted seeing the next scene infrnt of them....
One guy had made his hand forward...to catch hold of Khushi’s hand...which she brushed off quickly n gave him a punch on his face Knockin him out....n she held another guy who came to hold her by shoulders n hit him on his groin with her knees makin him fall on the ground in pain...n next she kicked the other guy on stomach hard....makin him also fall due to the kick....
Arnav n NK saw this n stood thr gapin at Khushi who had handled three men by her own...cmn out of the shock...they rushed towards her....
Meanwhile NK called Anjali n told them everythn n asked them to cm back side of the pub...
ASR:R u alright Khushi??
Khushi:Ya I am fine....
ASR calls the pub manager... who comes to the spot
ASR:(angrily)Wat kind of security do u provide mithal??Here there are no security at the back side of the pub...n this kind of incidents takes place...I can sue u fr this....
Mithal:No...plss sir...I ll take care of these guys...
ASR:Aman will be here in some time...he’ ll have a case file against these guys...u just cooperate with him...I think u can do that ..won’t you?
Mithal:Sure sir...I’ll do that...
Aman comes with the security guys n along with the 3 guys n Mithal they leave after getting instructions frm ASR
Anjali n Shyam rushes to the place...n Anjali n Khushi helps her in getting up...when Lavanya just brushes off Khushi’s hands...nt allowin her to hold her...
Seeing that Arnav goes forward n holds Khushi’s hands n makes her stand beside him...making her perplexed seeing his behaviour..
ASR:Jiju...can u just help di in takin Lavanya  home....as my wife had done already enough help fr her!!!
Shyam agreed readily....n thy left in another car...to the pent house...
NK:I’ll just go to the station n cm Arnav...just to make sure everythn is fine...
ASR:Ok....
HE LEAVES
ASR:Khushi shall we leave??
Khushi:OK...
They leave in the car.....Khushi could sense that Arnav was angry but she din knw fr wat reason...n she din dare to ask him also...knwing his temper....
They reached Pent house...n straightly left to room...asking  maid to send the food to the room itself...
Aranv saw Khushi’s Knuckles bleeding slightly once they came to their room bcs of the punch she had given the guy on his face....
He held her hands n took her to washroom n washed it with water...n wiped it with towel...whr Khushi stood mutely nt knwing wat to do or say...
He made her sit on the sofa...n kneeled down beside her...n applied lotion to her hand...when Khushi told..
Khushi:Arnav its just small..i ll do this...
ASR:(angrily)shut up!!
N he put the babdage around her knuckles.....makin sure the wound was perfectly bandaged...
ASR:Wat do u think u were dng thr Khushi??
Khushi:Wat?
ASR:Y did u go near those guys all alone??Wat if somethn had happened to u??
Khushi:But Lavanya...was in trouble..so i couldn’t wait...
ASR:Damn that Lavanya...can’t u see the way she behaves with u??
Khushi:Jus bcs she behaves badly with me ..I cant leave her in that state with the unknown men right Arnav...
ASR:But wat if the guys had harmed u??
Khushi:I had learnt martial arts fr an year fr my self defence...when i was in final year...n I had already called NK so I was sure he would be thr any time...so i just stopped them frm going frm thr along with Lavanya...
ASR:(sighs)But Khushi...
Khushi:Arnav....I knw Lavanya...doesn’t behave well with me...she might behave well with me in future..it can change with time...but if i had thought abt her behaviour that time n left her with those guys...they would have caused her harm...which couldn’t be changed in future...n being a grl I did wat every grl would do fr any other.....
ASR:OK...but I want u to be more careful frm next time...If u feel anythn wrong u would call me rightaway...than gng on all ur own ok??
Khushi:(smiles)OK...
Khushi n Arnav had their dinner along with his meds...n Khushi slept..n even Arnav came after some time...n held her hands in his....n thinkin abt the events...that happened tdy
Arnav had finished his part of work n asked Aman to handle the rest..as he knew Khushi would be gng fr pub...n he knew wat kind of guys were present over thr...n he also wanted to spend some time with her...when he came he saw NK dance with Khushi...n so slowly he had politely asked her fr adance to which she had agreed...fr few mins she was nt comfortable...then later after assuring her that he would help her  guide in dance..she moved her body with music....but soon when NK told abt Khushi’s call...he was scared fr Khushi’s safety...n also considering Lavanya’s dislike on her...he justwished to find Khushi soon..n make sure she was safe...n then when he saw 3 guys surrounding her...his breath stopped fr a moment thinkin wat could have happened if they had reached late....but wat shocked him was Khushi hitting those guys with ease...n when Lavanya shrugged off her hands he felt like lashing out on Lavanya bcs of whom all these trouble is...but he brought Khushi’s side nt wanting anyone to insult his wife anymore....
Fr the first time he felt scared fr Khushi’s safety..n fear of loosin her...which made him anger fr bahavin so..by gng all on her own...but she was also right...in her views...watever it is...he would take care of her n her safety...nt allowin any trouble to cross her way...with thse thoughts he slept....
