√ AE DIL HAI MUSHKIL {COMPLETED}

CHAPTER-15

All went to pack their bags, Arnav came to the room and found Khushi caressing some pic, he went near her to see what she is seeing..
" What are you doing? " Arnav asked..
" Does it matter to you? " Khushi hid their pic behind her..
" I just wanted to see.." Arnav shrugged his shoulders, deep inside he was really curious to see what Khushi was seeing..
" My clothes are here" Arnav said pressing his lips..
" Haan I've packed it.." Khushi said..
Both went out of the room and Akash took their bags to the car, he called Khushi to talk with him..
" So this isn't a normal holiday.." Akash said..
" Haan?" Khushi asked him confused..
" We planned this to bring you closer to Arnav.." Akash smiled..
Khushi hugged him smiling: Thank you Akash..
" You don't say thank you to your brother.. Its a sin" Akash said and both burst out laughing..
Arnav also came there looking at both laughing. He stared at Khushi, the way she was laughing. It wasn't new to him, his heart was reminding him, making him feel that this scene he has already seen..
Zoya came there: Haider
Arnav didn't say anything, he was just staring at Khushi.. His mind was trying hard to get the images of his past..
He closed his eyes in frustration, soon started feeling dizzy and was about to fall but Khushi held him at the right time worried..
Khushi: Arnav.. Arnav.. Kya hua? Are you okay?
Lav handled Khushi water, Khushi sprinkled it on his face..
Arnav woke up. Khushi made him sit in the car: Are you okay?
Arnav nodded...
Khushi turned to Akash: Please go all of you. I will stay with him here..
All nodded..
Khushi made Arnav walk inside the house once again...
Outside Zoya looked at them: What will I do with all of you?
Lav smiled: Lets go na. In this way both husband and wife will spend time together..
Zoya nodded faking a smile
They left, Arshi stayed at home..
* Arshi room:
Khushi caressed Arnav's cheeks: Tell me what are you feeling?
Arnav: I felt like I have seen you laughing before, but I couldn't bring those images in my mind..
Khushi smiled: Its okay, don't force yourself..
Arnav nodded...
Khushi made him rest on the bed, then she went to the living room..
She sat alone massaging her temples " How will I bring back your memory Arnav?"
Soon thinking about the problems in her life, she drifted into a deep sleep..
After sometime Arnav woke up and went downstairs, he found Khushi sleeping in an uncomfortable position.
He knelt down and stared at her for some minutes, removed the few hair strands that were disturbing her sleep.. He went quickly to the room and came back with a blanket to cover Khushi..
He sat there admiring the beauty in front of him..
Khushi woke up after some minutes and looked at Arnav, who was staring at her..
Khushi waved at him: Arnav?
Arnav came back to the world: Hmm..
Khushi smiled remembering how much he loves saying " Hmm" and this used to irritate her a lot, now it brought happiness in her face, because its a sign that Arnav is recovering..
Khushi: Do you want to eat something?
Arnav nodded.
Khushi went towards the kitchen to prepare something for him, Arnav went behind her..
Arnav sat on the table: You were crying today while watching the movie..
Khushi looked at him, then went to the cabinet to take the ingredients: Tell me who will not cry seeing her husband with another woman?
Arnav: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, you know I feel uncomfortable staying with Zoya now. My heart constantly reminds me of you..
Khushi smiled at Arnav's honesty: Good.. Ouch..
Arnav immediately rushed to Khushi, and place her finger on his mouth..
Khushi glanced at him..
Arnav left the finger checking it: Can't you see while cooking? You cut your finger dammit.. Lets go..
Arnav made her sit: Where is the first aid kit?
Khushi pointed to the drawer, Arnav went to take it, then bandaged her wound..
Arnav looked angrily at her: Is this how you cook everyday? Look at your hand Khushi, there are so many scars..
Khushi looked down: You weren't here to do this..
Arnav stopped holding her hand. Then looked at Khushi, her eyes reflects so much pain, that it even hurt his heart just looking at her. He was wrong.. Yes, he was wrong. Seeing Khushi's suffering, his is very less compared to hers..
Arnav: I will cook today..
Khushi giggled: Do you know how to cook?
Arnav smirked: I know, I've learned it..
Both went to the kitchen, now Khushi sat on the table and Arnav became a chef..
He was teaching Khushi how to cut the tomato, onion and potato quickly. Khushi laughed at him, Arnav shakes his head and continued teaching her..
Arnav went to settle the table for their dinner..
Khushi came with plates, receiving an angry glare from Arnav. He came near her and snatched the plates from her hand: Don't do this. You're hurt..
Khushi pouted: But I'm used to this now..
Arnav: I'm not. Stay quiet..
Khushi smiled, he was taking care of her the way Arnav would..
But something was wrong with him, till now he hasn't mentioned Zoya's name. What was wrong with him? She felt he would make a confusion because Zoya went to Switzerland, but he is calm..
Khushi raised her brows: Aren't you missing someone?
Arnav frowned: Who?
Khushi: Zoya, who else? When she wasn't here you keep shouting her name, now she went away from you. And you're not even speaking about her..
Arnav didn't say anything
Khushi was suspicious at his sudden change..
Arnav made Khushi sit on the chair, then he also sat next to her..
He served food for both, and started eating, Khushi wasn't eating she looked at him only..
Arnav stopped eating and looked at Khushi, then at her hand..
Arnav smiled sheepishly: Ohh sorry, let me feed you..
Arnav feed Khushi, then asked: Isn't my food awesome?
Khushi smiled nodding: Awesome!!
Arnav also smiled at her. After eating, both went to the room. Khushi switched the TV on for him. And went to the bathroom to freshen up.
As she walked outside the bathroom, she saw Arnav flipping the pages of their photo album..
Arnav shifted his attention to Khushi, the next moment he was lost in her, Khushi was in towel and her hair was wet..
Khushi blushed seeing his gaze: Go and freshen up.
Arnav was still staring at her with mouth slight open.
Khushi: Arnav stop staring!
Arnav didn't move, he was like a statue seeing her...
Khushi herself went to the closet blushing profusely " Laad governor"
Arnav went to the bathroom, he closed the door slowly..
While freshening he was thinking about his life, what he is doing with Khushi is wrong, he can't love another woman when he is married, he was seeing their pic and from that he could see how much he loves her, the way he looked at her was like no one is around him when she is there, it looked like Khushi was his life only. And now how can he love another woman in his life?
" I will give a chance to this relationship Khushi..." Arnav thought..
Khushi went to the bed still blushing at the way Arnav was looking at her. It made her feel like he was her Arnav..
Arnav came out of the bathroom shirtless still lost in his thoughts..
Now it was time for Khushi to ogle at him..
Arnav put on his shirt making Khushi frown..
He came near the bed pulled the blanket to cover Khushi, then himself..
Then turned to his side sleeping. Khushi looked at him confused, now something was really wrong with him..
Khushi: Tomorrow morning I will make kheer for you..
Arnav: Hmm..
Khushi: Do you know you love eating kheer..
Arnav: Okay..
Khushi felt the sad, he isn't really trying to regain his memory. Maybe he really loves Zoya..
Khushi turned to her side and also fell asleep..
* Next day:
The sun rays disturbed Khushi's sleep she turned to the other side of the bed to check Arnav, but he wasn't there.. Khushi frowned.
She quickly put her duppata, and went downstairs running..
She searched for him in the living room but didn't find him..
Khushi: Hariprakashji did you see Arnav?
HP: Haan ma'am, sir is in the kitchen..
Khushi sigh in relief, then headed to the kitchen.
She saw Arnav making breakfast for them, a smile appeared on her face..
Khushi went near Arnav: Let me do it, now I'm fine..
Arnav stopped whistling: You go and freshen up first, I'm doing this..
Khushi: But Ar..
Arnav pushed her away from the kitchen, she went from there smiling..
When she reached the breakfast table was filled with delicious food. She smiled at the sight, Arnav was waiting for her, Khushi sat down then both started eating..
HP smiled seeing happiness again in this house, seeing his sir alive..
Arnav: Khushi can you take me out today? I'm tired of staying at home..
Khushi nodded: Haan, and we will also visit a doctor today, my friend he will examine you..
Arnav nodded: Okay..
* Hospital XYZ:
Khushi smiled at her friend sitting at the chair: Hii Goluu..
Arnav looked at her raising his brows..
Mohit/Golu: Hii Jalebi..
Arnav immediately heard his voice in his mind " I love you my jalebi" ..
He shut his eyes tightly while Khushi was chatting with Mohit..
Arnav went out of the room, Khushi looked at him: Excuse me..
Khushi went behind Arnav, he was outside the hospital holding his head tightly..
Khushi tapped his shoulder: What happened Arnav?
Arnav: I can hear voices.. My voice..my head is hurting a lot Khushi...
Khushi made him sit on the bench, took water for him: Calm down, drink water...
Khushi made Arnav drink water, then both went inside Mohit's room again..
Khushi: I want you to check him Mohit, he lost his memory..
Mohit nodded and made Arnav rest on the bed, Khushi went outside..
Mohit came outside to talk with Khushi..
Khushi came near hoping to hear a good thing about Arnav's health..
Mohit: Khushi there is something wrong in him, he is being given the wrong medicines. The ones you showed me, the box is of the right medicine but the medicine itself isn't the right one for him..
Khushi shocked: What???
Mohit nodded: I'm telling you Khushi. These medicines are kind of deteriorating his health, he can become mentally unstable if he continues to consume this..
Khushi looked at Mohit shocked, Mohit continued: You better find out why is he being given this..
Khushi nodded and went to see Arnav, he was sleeping. That's something that never came in her mind, he sleeps a lot these day could it be this medicines effect? Now what is this mystery in her life again?
She patted Arnav's cheeks to wake him up. Khushi: Lets go Arnav..
Arnav woke up and both left the hospital. The car stopped at the mansion, Arnav looked at Khushi furrowing his brows: Why are we here? You were supposed to take me out..
Khushi: Tomorrow Arnav, I promise. Now I need to talk with you..
Arnav nodded sad, both went inside.
Khushi: Arnav who bought these medicines for you?
Arnav looked at the medicines: Zoya's brother..
Khushi: What is his name?
Arnav: Rehan..
Khushi nodded: Can you take me to your house today?
Arnav nodded: Haan..
Khushi got up: Then let's go..
Khushi held Arnav's hand, both left the house, in the car Arnav's was telling the directions to the driver..
They reached to an apartment, Khushi looked at Arnav: This is where you live?
Arnav nodded: Let's go inside, I will show you Rehan..
Khushi went behind Arnav, they reached there Arnav rang the bell. But no one was answering..
Khushi sigh: Perhaps no one is here..
Arnav: No, Rehan is here only. He stays at home all day..
Someone opened the door, Arnav smiled: Fatima how are you?
Fatima smiled: I'm fine Haider sir. Come inside..
Khushi and Arnav headed to Rehan's room..
Arnav opened the door slowly whispering to Khushi: He must be sleeping..
Arnav pointed smiling: Rehan..
Khushi looked at the person shocked now, she would surely faint with the things happening in her life: Aman?
Khushi stepped back, then went from there running, Arnav went behind her..
" Khushi.. What happened? " Arnav looked confused at her..
" Arnav you don't know him?" Khushi asked him in disbelief..
" Rehan Khushi, I told you he is Zoya's brother.." Arnav said..
" DM what are you doing? What's happening in my life? " Khushi mumbled..
She held Arnav's hand: Lets go..
Both went back home. While Arnav was confused, Khushi was shocked with the incidents happening in her life..
She sat on her bed as tears left her eyes. Arnav came there, he wiped her tears: What happened?
Khushi: You really don't know him? Please tell me what exactly happened with you?
Arnav: Nothing happened to me, I just stayed with Zoya and Rehan. Suddenly both took me here and started saying that I lost my memory and I'm ASR..
Khushi massaged her temples: Now what is this trouble?
Khushi looked at Arnav: Rest for a while Arnav..
Arnav: No, I rested in the hospital...
Khushi: What do you want to do?
Arnav: Lets watch some movies..
Khushi nodded and both went to the living room, Khushi chose Salman's movie, then went to sit beside Arnav. Her heart wasn't in peace after knowing all this, she wanted to share with someone, but who?
Arnav looked at Khushi who wasn't paying attention to the movie. Arnav worried: Khushi what happened?
Khushi: N..nothing.. Can I hug you?
Arnav nodded finding her behavior strange. Khushi hugged him tightly crying...
Arnav felt his shirt wet, he broke the hug: Why are you crying?
Khushi: Please come back to me..please..I'm tired of staying alone, I can't take this life anymore.. I'm scared now..
Arnav sadly: Khushi I'm doing my best to remember something of this past..
Khushi nodded sideways crying: You aren't. You want her for you, you want to stay as Haider hain na?
Arnav also nodded sideways: Not now, not now that I found how much this Arnav loved you, I'm trying my best Khushi..
Khushi looked at him stunned, Arnav wiped her tears: I will be your husband, just give me sometime.
Arnav made her rest on his shoulder, Khushi closed her eyes..
****************************
"Good morning Arnav" Khushi wished him who was on the bed looking at the ceiling..
Arnav shifted his attention to Khushi: Good morning..
Khushi smiled: Come to have breakfast..
Arnav: You didn't give me my medicines..
Khushi thought about Mohit's talk: It ended Arnav, I will buy again for you..
Arnav nodded and went to bathroom.
Khushi went downstairs, after having breakfast, she was going outside with HP..
Arnav stopped her: Where are you going?
Khushi turned to him: Will be back soon Arnav.
Arnav narrow his brows: Can't I go?
Khushi: Nahin. I'm going to market, it will be full of people there and you aren't well..
Arnav came near Khushi: I will be fine Khushi. Lets go..
Khushi refused: Please don't be stubborn. Stay here, I know what's the best for you..
Arnav went from there angrily to his room..
Khushi looked at HP, then at him.
" Arnav I will be back soon. After that we will go a roam around.." Khushi said going near him..
" Okay.." Arnav said..
Khushi smiled then was walking to go but bumped with the leg of the bed, she fell on Arnav's lap..
Arnav immediately caught her. Both were lost in their world..
* Rabba ve.. Rabba ve..
Khushi got up and went from there leaving Arnav lost in his thoughts...
************************
Khushi went with HP to Zoya's house again to find out what's really happening here..
Khushi covered her face with duppata and HP also put fake moustache..
They knocked the door, as yesterday today also Fatima was the one who opened the door..
Fatima pressed her lips: What do you want??
HP: We sell saris.. Please have a look..
Fatima nodded and let them in, as they walked in Khushi gasped seeing Aman sitting in the living room reading newspaper...
Rehan shifted his attention to her, she immediately composed herself. Fatima: Rehan they are here to sell sari, I want to buy.
Rehan angrily glared at her: Then buy it, I don't have money at all.. Just waiting if Zoya finds a way out there..
Fatima made faces, then turned at both: Sorry, I don't want..
HP: Okay ma'am..
Khushi and HP went from there fast. Entering in the car, Khushi uncovered her face..
" Now what is this? Yesterday this Fatima looked like a sweet lady, even called Arnav as sir, now the way she was talking with Aman.. " Khushi was thinking..
HP: Ma'am if sir lost his memory, then Aman also lost it.. Maybe they are living with that Lady..
Khushi: No HPji, something is wrong, when Zoya told me about the incident she said that Aman died. Now how comes he is alive and also know her? And what was he talking about money? He sent Zoya here for money. Zoya is also mysterious..
Khushi called Akash and informed him to keep an eye on Zoya.
She reached home and found Arnav watching the video of their marriage. She smiled looking at him, now she really wants to believe that he is innocent in all this..
Khushi: Our marriage..
Arnav nodded: You were looking beautiful in red lehenga.
Khushi sat near him: And you were handsome in white sherwani..
Arnav smiled a little: You're still beautiful, you know..
Khushi blushed: Thank you! (turning serious) what's this mark on your wrist?
Arnav looked at his wrist: I don't know.. It was always like this..
Khushi caressed it: Really? I don't remember seeing it on your wrist before.. Arnav were you ill treated by Zoya and Rehan?
Arnav: No, they are good with me..
Khushi was about to leave, Arnav held her hand: You promised me something..
Khushi turned: I'm really tired Arnav. Can we go tomorrow?
Arnav noticed her tired face, he accepted staying at home. Khushi went to rest in her room for a while, while Arnav went to the garden side.
Images of himself treating his flowers flashed in his mind, he shut his eyes tightly running his hands through his hair in frustration. His head hurts a lot, whenever he is about to remember something..
He shouted almost crying there, he sat on the ground still holding his head..
HP came running to him: Sir..what happened? Sir...
Arnav cried: My head.. It hurts.. It hurts a lot..
HP went running to call Khushi, Khushi came running to him she knelt down asking him what happened but he wasn't in the state to answer her, not knowing what to do she hugged him tightly, Arnav buried his head on her neck as if hiding from the pain. She planted kisses on his hair..
HP smiled seeing the scene. Arnav cried in Khushi's embrace.
Khushi: Calm down Arnav, I told you not to force yourself...
Arnav: Ahhh.. Its hurting a lot Khushi..my medicines..
Khushi looked at HP, then at Arnav: I will buy for you tomorrow.
Khushi caressed his head to calm him down, with time Arnav got better. Arnav: I loved treating the flowers here?
Khushi nodded: Haan..A..Arnav you remembered it?
Arnav nodded: I saw myself treating it Khushi..
Khushi happiness knew no bound today: Do you remember me?
Arnav: Still no. I just remembered this..
Khushi face fell. Arnav cupped her face: I will remember everything. You will support me na?
Khushi nodded smiling: Yes I will...
She took him to the room, Arnav: Sorry I disturbed your sleep..
Khushi shook her head. Arnav: You're very nice Khushi..
Khushi smiled a little then went to the kitchen to cook lunch for them..
****************************
Days passed like this.. Arnav and Khushi became more close to each other, now Arnav liked Khushi's presence in his life. Khushi on the other side was loving the change in him, he remembered few things which was making her doubt about what really happened with him, Mohit prescribed the right medicines to him, and now Arnav was behaving at least in a normal way, not the aggressive way he had when he reached home..
Akash talked with Khushi saying that Zoya only talks with someone called Rehan and they are always kind of fighting. He promised Khushi he would find out more..
Arnav was now accepting being Khushi's husband. He now cared for her, played with her, goes out and helps her cook. Now he knows that Arnav really exists inside him, unlike when he came he didn't have a single clue who this Arnav is..
************************
Khushi was running on the house shouting to the workers: Please go and clean that room quickly. We don't have time..
Arnav came there raising his brows: Who's coming?
Khushi smiled brightly: Your parents Arnav. Your entire family, you know Ma and Dad are so happy. They just can't believe this that you're not dead. I somehow convinced them..
Arnav frowned and held Khushi's hands tightly: Khushi I'm not prepared to meet them..
Khushi cupped his face: Believe me they are good people Arnav.. You will like them..
Arnav nodded. Khushi: You don't want?
Arnav: If you're saying I should meet them. I will..
Khushi stepped back then check him: Hmm you need to buy clothes Arnav..
Arnav looked at himself: Why? Aren't these good?
Khushi made a no-face: You should buy it in ASR style..
Arnav smiled: Really? And what's ASR style?
Khushi held his hands smiling: Lets shop. I will show you..
* Shopping:
" What? ASR only wears colorful things? " Arnav asked in disbelief...
" Haan ASR loves red, blue, yellow, pink.." Khushi teased him showing pink shirt..
" Pink no.. Pink is for girls Khushi, how can I? " Arnav looked at the pink shirt with a disgusting look..
" For me pleaseeee.. Wear it na. You will look handsome.." Khushi pressed her lips..
" Okay okay lets try pink shirt.." Arnav said holding the shirt in his hand..
After changing it, he came outside to show Khushi, Khushi started laughing loudly, gaining attention of everyone in the shop .
Arnav widened his eyes looking at her. Khushi came near him: OMG you look so cute..
Arnav looked at himself: Cute?
Khushi nodded: But you know ASR doesn't like pink color, neither blue, yellow and all that.. I was just pulling your legs..
Arnav looked at her in disbelief, Khushi started running from him, he went behind her running around the shop, both were laughing happily. Arnav finally managed to catch Khushi, he started tickling her making her laugh more. While trying to escape from him. She pushed a fat woman and both ( Khushi and the fat woman) fell on the floor..
Khushi shouted: Ahhhhhh my back..
Fat woman: Ahhh my whole body. Are you blind? Can't you see that people are passing from here?
Khushi furrow her brow: You are also blind then. Couldn't you see that I was playing with him?
Fat woman: Heyyyy don't make angry..
Khushi shouted: Don't angry meeeeeee...
Fat woman wanted to pull Khushi's hair but Arnav pulled Khushi from the floor at the right time..
Arnav: We are sorry Fatty..
Arnav and Khushi laughed, while the woman fumed in anger...
After buying the real ASR clothes. They were going back but Arnav stopped at a shop: Khushi come here..
Khushi went near him: What happened?
Arnav pointed to the shop: Are you seeing that red saree? Buy it for you..
Khushi nodded looking at the saree. She went to the shop while Arnav waited outside.
She went to try it. Arnav came inside after noticing that she was taking a long time.
Arnav: Khushi are you done?
Khushi in the room shouted: No. I'm not able to tie this string
Arnav: Should I come?
Khushi widened her eyes: No, I will manage..
Arnav made a okay-look. He waited for a while but seeing Khushi taking too much time, he entered inside the room, taking baby steps to her, he touched his fingers with her. Khushi gasp realizing that he is here..
She turned making a distance from him: Why did you came? I said I would manage..
Arnav: I will help you..
Khushi refused: No. I will tie it, wait outside..
Arnav: I'm your husband Khushi.
Khushi looked at him surprised, slowly she turned her back to him letting him tie it for her, Arnav tied the threat and few time his fingers were touching her. She closed her eyes feeling his touch..
The lady who was helping Khushi came in..
Lady: Ma'am is he harassing you? We will call the security if he is teasing you.
Khushi: No, he is my husband..
The lady smiled leaving them alone, Arnav checked Khushi, the way she did when they were at home.
Arnav rubbing his chin: Something is not good in this look..
Khushi frowned then looked at the mirror: What?
Arnav removed the clip from her hair, leaving it open: Now you look out of the world..
Khushi blushed profusely hearing him. Arnav smiled at Khushi, from the time he saw their pics together the day she was hiding from him. He saw her suffering for him, from the pics he could describe that he was madly in love with her and ignoring her that day was breaking her heart, Zoya was right, he has a wife and by Khushi's telling a beautiful family. He should give attention to them. He made everything possible to retire Zoya from his mind and accept Khushi, which was quite easy for him, now neither he know why it was easy for him, but since the day he met Khushi, he felt a strong connection with her, something that pulls him automatically to her. Khushi is the woman who give him peace, he feels happy by her side, that smile she always keep in her face change someone mood very quickly.. Slowly slowly he will accept her as his wife in full terms..
Khushi waved at Arnav: Where are you lost?
Arnav: Huh? Nothing, lets go..
Khushi stopped him: Let me change first then..
Arnav smiled: Okay change..
Khushi widened her eyes: Go outside..
Arnav chuckles caressing his neck, he went from there..
Khushi shook her head smiling " You will remember everything Arnav, I have full faith in our love, just have to find why this Villain is still behind you, and if he is alive why didn't he kill me? "
