The living room was dead filled with silence and darkness. He only sat on the floor leaning on the couch lost in deep thoughts of the betrayal of his family. The tears which he has been hiding with the mask of ASR, finally dropped when he was alone, he was only Arnav.. The little boy who loved his family so much and sacrificed his happiness to see a smile on their faces and they return it with betrayal. He still couldn't believe this hatred started with his mother and ended with him.
Much to his surprise, suddenly the lights came on and he could hear a song being played from someone near him. He frowned and wiped his tears, standing up to see who was it on Sheesh Mahal.
He looked around when someone patted his back from behind.
He turned to the person and his eyes met with person's eyes.
"Tum (You)" he said but couldn't even complete when she placed his finger on his lips and whispered, "Shhhhhh.."
She faced her back to him revealing her backless red saree and started dancing in front of him. Arnav looked away disgusted.
"Jo Akh Lad Jaave (When my eyes meet Yours)
Saari Raat Neend Na Aave (I can't find sleep all night long)
Mainu Bada Tadpaave (It torments me a lot)
Dil Chain Kahin Na Paave Paave Paave (My heart doesn't find peace/rest)
"Stop this right now Sheetal.." Arnav shouted angrily.
But she wasn't in mood to listen to him, after all getting the news that both are going to divorce, she couldn't let this opportunity to seduce him and finally make him, hers.
She pulled him by his collar naughtily, and wanted to unbutton his shirt when they heard a thud sound and looked at vase laid broken in pieces on the floor and then up to the person who was responsible for it.
Khushi stood gritting her teeth at the scene, her hands clutched into a fist controlling the anger bursting inside her seeing Sheetal dancing for Arnav.
Arnav pushed Sheetal away and rushed to Khushi, who also walked towards him and when reached to him, she ignored him and passed away walking towards to Sheetal now.
Arnav shut his eyes tightly, "Dammit.. we're not in good terms and Sheetal just came to spoil more my situation.."
Sheetal rolled her eyes boringly at Khushi and got shocked when Khushi slapped her hard on her right cheek. She looked away caressing her cheek, blinking her eyes not believing that the middle class girl got courage to slap her.
"What the.." Arnav's eyes got wide and an astonished smile adorned his lips by now.
"This slap is for you to remind everytime you approach a married man.." Khushi said pointing her index finger to Sheetal, "Our marriage didn't broke yet, samjhi tum? (Do you get that?)"
"I can't believe you dared to slap me.." Sheetal glared at her.
"I dare to do even more.." Khushi shouted, "If I see you near Arnav ji one more time, then get ready to walk on ramp on your shows bald.. I will snatch all your chudail's hair with same hand that slapped you.."
Sheetal widened her eyes and touched her hair frightened.
Arnav chuckled silently, Khushi glared at him and he pressed his lips to suppress the smile on his lips.
Khushi took Sheetal's phone that was playing the music and threw it on the floor, then stomped her feet on phone breaking it more.
"She keeps calling me Tangaballi and here she's the real Tangaballi yaar.." Arnav thought watching the scene silently.
"My phone.. Are you mad? It's an Iphone X.." Sheetal cried horrified seeing the horrible murder of her phone.
"Then think before playing such songs and trying to seduce my husband.." Khushi glared at her.
"Now get lost from here before I break your bones also.. If I break your bones, then you won't be able to buy another one like you can buy this phone of yours.." Khushi said dangerously.
Sheetal gulped and went running away from there, falling on the way because she wore saree and it was difficult to walk with it for her, but still remembering Khushi's warnings, she gathered courage and stood up and ran away for her the sake of her life.
"Amazing.." Arnav clapped his hands smiling, staring at Khushi with I'm-surprised look.
"Stay away from me you too.." she shouted walking towards him angrily and he took two steps back, gulping.
"How dare you let a woman dance so shamelessly like this in front of you? Why didn't you stop her? Were you liking it? Then go behind her.. It was me who shouldn't come here and disturb you both hain na?" Khushi glared at him.
"What the.. How can you even think like that Khushi? You know I don't love Sheetal.." Arnav frowned.
"You don't love anyone other than your so called family.." she shouted.
"Yes, I don't love anyone.. but I WANT TO LOVE YOU NOW.." he shouted back.
"Because now you feel pity of me? You want to love me to pacify me, Mr. Raizada? You want to love me to make you feel less guilty of what you have done to me?" she asked sarcastically, "I don't need such love.. keep it with you.."
