Anger or Blush

A big thanks to all those people who voted and commented for the story. Thank you so much guys. Here is the next part

  Arnav is constantly stealing glances at her while driving and Khushi is enjoying the side view. He smiled inwardly looking at her expressions. 

Suddenly his smile dropped noticing the red mark on her elbow. He knows what could have happen. But he didn't understand why Khushi is bearing all these because of some stupid promises. He felt an immense hatred towards Garima. He won't let it continue anymore. Enough is enough.

He called her "Khushi".

Khushi turns to him smiling "Haa Arnavji". The serious expression on his face confused her. "What happend Arnavji". She asked questioningly.

"Khushi I need to talk to you". He stops the car.

Khushi looked at him curiously. He takes her hand in his and touch the red mark gently. Khushi winced in pain. 

"What is it Khushi. Why are you tolerating it. Don't tell me that because of your promise".

Khushi looked away with teary eyes unable to answer him. 

He touch her cheek and makes her face him. " I need an answer Khushi". He asked seriously.

" What can I do Arnavji I promised papa that I will always obey Maa". Tears start to roll from her eyes.

"Khushi that was long ago. At that time your papa doesn't know about her intentions. Now he knows ,but because of his state he can't speak. That doesn't means that he still wants you to obey her." Arnav said to put some senses in her.

She remained silent.

Finally he sighed defeated." OK forget it. why did you said to Maa that you will not marry as per your wish". He finally asked the question that was nagging his mind from a long period of time.

Khushi is scared to answer him. "Wo amma said that she will fix my marriage only after Payal jii and I'm sure that she will find a guy who doesn't loves me".She said in a low voice.

"Khushi you know what all your excuses are pathetic. How can you be like this Khushi". he said frustrated.

"What can I do Arnavji till papa become alright I need to obey Maa. After his recovery I'm sure that he will be at my side to shield me". Khushi said as she trying to find solace in herself.

" I will be there for you Khushi always". He said pressing her hands. His another hand wipes her tears.

" Now don't cry.I will soon find some way. Don't worry. OK". He assured her with his words.

Khushi looked at his face forgetting the surroundings. She knows that he loves her. She too have feelings for him. But she is scared about the reaction of Garima.

" Now give me your beautiful smile. You look ugly when you cry". He said making annoyed faces.

Khushi gasped hearing him. " What I look ugly". She asked him.

"Yes very ugly when you are crying and just like a princess when you smile". He said winking her.

Khushi got stunned hearing his reply and unknowingly a deep shade of crimson red began to spread in her cheeks. She quickly tuns her face to the window to hide her blush from him. But failed miserably.

Arnav chuckled watching the futile attempts of his princess to hide her blush.

" Pagal ".he muttered to himself and starts the car.

He walks in Raizada Mansion with a flushed Khushi. Who is flustered by his reply and nervous about being late.

"Khushi don't worry. Dadi won't tell anything. I am here naa. I will look after her. You don't need to afraid about anything". He comfort her with his words.

Khushi gives him a slight smile which is surely filled with gratitude and happiness.  

  Subhadra enters the hall and looks at them angrily. She never likes Khushi. According to her the middle class girls will trap the rich boys and makes them separate from their parents. She is afraid that Khushi will also snatch Arnav likes them. 

"Is this the time for coming to work". Subhadra said angrily. Khushi began to tremble in fear watching her angry face. 

Arnav just rolled his eyes. "She was with me dadi. Do you have any problem". He asked sarcastically.

"Chote . Is this the way to talk to elders. Don't know how much magic this girl done to you". She eyes Khushi with disgust.

Khushi looked down on the floor as her eyes brimmed with tears. 

"Please stop dadi. Khushi has nothing to do with my words. Why don't you just leave her alone. What crime she has done to you that you are behaving this way with her". Arnav said frustrated.

Dadi looked at him tongue tied. She can't believe that Arnav speak this way to her because of that girl. Before she retort Arnav left from there dragging Khushi along with him.

Aditya watched the entire conversation. He comes near dadi.

"You are right dadi. Bhai is totally smitten by this girl we need to do something". He said looking at subhadra.

Subhadra nodes her head. A cunning smile appeared in aditya's face. "You don't worry dadi. I will look after this matter".Dadi looks at him confused.  

  Khushi enters the kitchen and started washing the dishes.Her hands were shaking even now. She don't know why dadi is hating her this much. She haven't done any wrong anyone. Because of her thoughts she didn't realize that Arnav is now standing beside her.

"Khushi ".Arnav called touching her shoulder.

She jumped in fear. And looks at him startled. Seeing it was Arnav her heart starts to calm down.arnav looks at her amused. "Why are you reacting this way Khushi".

"Nothing you scared the hell out of me".She said flaring her nose.

"But Khushi I feel that you are scared of me". Arnav said with a lopsided smirk. He loves to tease her.

"What. Why would I be". She retorted back angrily.

"I have seen your cheeks turn red many times while talking to me. I thought that it was because of fear. If it is not fear then what was that Khushi". He asked with innocent expression.

Khushi looked at him open mouth. How can she says that that is because of her shyness. She looked here and there unable to answer him. Arnav bites inside his cheek to control the laugh.he is enjoying her nervousness. 

"Then what Khushi". He asked once again.

"Wo...wo..because of ..because of anger". She said in a single breath.

"Anger? Why are you angry with me Khushi. I haven't done any wrong to you till now". He asked mischievously coming close to her. 

Khushi steps back until her back touches the kitchen slap. "Wo..I..I..".

"I what Khushi" . Arnav said coming closer to her. Khushi is hell nervous because of their closeness and she can feel her hands tremble and she is breathing heavily.

Arnav smiled seeing his effect on her and raise his hand to touch her cheeks. Khushi closed her eyes seeing that. But before he touch her Swetha's voice interrupt them." Khushi Bitiya"..she calls while walking towards kitchen.

"Jii aunty coming."..Khushi yelled back and runs out of the kitchen pushing Arnav away.
Arnav chuckled seeing her retreating figure.
