Justice (Completed)

chapter twelve

"she.. accepted... how Arnav?.."

Arnav shrugged, rattling through  drawer he picked a random wrist watch, fasting it over his wrist,he showed no urgency in answer the question , Arpita stared at her son, he's buying time.

"I asked her.. and obviously she said yes..."

" what did you expect. That she will sacrifice her whole life for dead Akash..?"

He reached the wardrobe and took his car key from another drawer, slipping it into the coat pocket, Arnav smiled. Yes, today is special,so he's driving..a small treat to himself.. his way of celebrating.

"But.. Arnav , she's not your type..not your prim proper Raizada standard . remember.... and you..I don't believe you have any.."

" Any romantic feelings towards her.."

There was something about Arnav, something about that is not right. She'd seen his interest in Khushi but marriage.. that's too soon..? What's he's cooking..? He's not a liar or indecent person, he's a good person,bit stubborn and arrogant. But he's not a spoilt brat. After his marriage he totally changed to that cool  friendly person to this cold calculative one. That's why she's asking. Why this rush..!

Arnav groaned, time is running fast, his mother seems in investigative mode,a cross-check,he know Mrs Arpita Singh Raizada, she loves khushi,it was like  partiality, Arpita ma'am never believed in Akashs story, she always preferred women's side, but there was not much interaction between khushi and Arpita. His mother was very private person after the death of Arjun Raizada.

  nonetheless  she's now checking on his credibility.

"What you mean by that mumma... yes it was true  I did my first marriage in  haste..."

"  you were abroad, like I said,it was for grandmother.. she was dying.. and it was her last wish..i don't wanted to depress her...."

May be it's not a good time to discuss this all marriage business..he hesitate his mother's shrewd eyes measuring him in depths..uff..he didn't want to be go there,there in his past, his haste decision,kashyap family, their wicked ways of matchmaking, his grandmother's insistence..

above all, khushi's pregnancy news, and mumma's world trip.. Arpita was in some remote states of South America. He was thrown between his grandmother's wish and his forbidden love for his sister in law, what he had done in past was a mistake..a grave mistake.

Now, he wasn't going to make mistake.

"That's why I am asking you.. Khushi is not like your former flashy glamorous wife..or like your ornate girlfriends, and she's also a mother, mother of two small children.."

"I hope you know what you  doing.. and do have a fair idea about  your relation with your late wife.."

"it was a shame, a farce...
comparing to your high and mighty standard khushi possess nothing ..."

Arpita added , perhaps she should pour some lights on Arnav..he only know how to conquer,he lives a life as a king, his whole life was fairy tale, after the death of his father, Arnav forced to take his father's position in Raizada corporates,he was just twenty five old, freshly out of college, Akash was no use at the time, Mahindra was a loser in business, which compelled Arnav, that was it, afterwards his grandmother's influence increased in arnavs life, ultimately she trapped him in a business  arranged marriage,he was  offered into that kashyaps trap.

Khushi is not like lavanya kashyap,that's what disturbing her. Arnav still believes in Akash,he may wagging for revenge..?! Khushi can't bear it. She's so vulnerable, she can't afford Arnavs mercurial behaviours.
