Dil Pe Koi Zor Chalta Nahi [Rewrite 2020]

Chapter: Nine

“Arnavji!!” Khushi's scream cut through the stillness surrounding the room

Arnav woke up startled, He looked at the bed where Khushi was sleeping under the effects of the medication only to find her thrashing about in the bed. He had decided to sleep in the guest room with her in case something like this happened and she needed him

“Khushi..” Arnav held her struggling form in place

“Don't come near me! I am sorry. Please I'm really sorry. Don't hurt me!” Khushi pleaded

“Shh.. Relax! Khushi.. No one is hurting you. Wake up” Arnav caressed her hair
Khushi opened her teary eyes

“Arnavji?” Khushi whispered in amazement whilst trying to sit up

Arnav helped her in sitting comfortably “You okay?” He asked

“Where am I?” Khushi asked meekly

“You're home Khushi. With me. Safe” Arnav explained

“But.. Yash?” Khushi inquired, An unknown fear clouded her eyes.

“You don't have to worry about that. I can take care of Mr. Singhania” Arnav said coolly

“Mat.. Matlab? (Mean..Meaning?)” Khushi stuttered in confusion.

“Khushi, He won't hurt you henceforth. We will take care of that”

Khushi blinked blankly and the events of the last few hours came rushing back to her.

“You shouldn't have brought me here” Khushi whispered

“Nothing will go wrong Khushi.” Arnav assured

“You don't know him. He's powerful” Khushi said

“Is he now?” Arnav asked amused

Khushi looked at him with a little fear

“Don't be scared Khushi. The subjects don't dare to eye the queen. And we'll see his power shortly” Arnav said

“Queen?”

“Yes.. My queen, You!” Arnav cupped her face with his palms

“Me?” She pointed herself innocently

“You. Will you be my queen Khushi?” Arnav asked softly

“I don't deserve this”

“Yes you do.” Arnav said firmly

“No.. I don't! I was his mistress” Khushi whispered

“You.. were forced Khushi. You didn't choose that!!” Arnav explained

“I was touched.. By him. He dirtied me!! HE DIRTIED ME. HE..” Khushi screamed in tears. Arnav knew she was again going out of control.

“Shhh.. It doesn't matter to me.” Arnav said pulling her into his arms rubbing her back with one hand and the other rested between her hair soothing her

“I didn't want to Arnavji. I didn't..” Khushi sobbed

“Don't cry. Everything is fine now. That man.. He won't hurt you anymore. I promise you that” Arnav said softly.

“Why does it matter to you? Why do you keep making me feel like I am someone special? Why did you bring me here? Why did you protect me?” She asked confused

“Because you are. My someone special. My angel. My happiness!” Arnav said

“I don't have an identity Arnavji. I can't be your angel!” Khushi said
