ArShi : Incandescent Love

Prologue

To say that the Raizadas had never been more confused and befuddled seeing their elder son Arnav Singh Raizada who always defined suave sophistication in his impeccable three-piece suits stood along with his wife at the door of his house in a soiled vest with disheveled hair, full grown beard and dark circles under eyes. Both of them heavily injured; blood all over them.

Nani " Chote! What happened to you? And Khushi Bitiya? There is blood all over both of you " shrieked

Arnav " Nani.... We are fine "

Anjali " Fine? What do you mean by fine? What does this blood and injuries all mean? "

Mami " Arnav bitwa was kidnapped "

Devyani " Ki...Kidnapped? Why? Who would have kidnapped you, Chote? Why would they? " shocked

Mami " Me and Phati sari knew all along"

Nani " Khushi bitiya, if you knew then why didn't you say anything before? "

Khushi " Because Arnavji's life was in danger, Naniji. The kidnapper called and threatened me with his life. He said that if I told anyone about Arnav ji, then he would ki..k... " with difficulty " Kill him "

Khushi wrapped her arms around Arnav's torso as she breathed in at his chest. Her heart needed assurance that nothing happened to him. That Arnav was safe. Beside her Safe.

Anjali " Who called you, Khushiji ? You know who was it? "

Khushi " Shyamji " looking straight at Shyam eyes " Shyamji had kidnapped Arnavji "

Her voice echoed in the room.
