ARNAV'S BUTTERFLY EFFECT (COMPLETED)

Part 22

Ragini: How are you? How is your new love going?

Arnav: Why didn’t you tell me that Kushi is in love with me?

Ragini: But you are together, now right?

Arnav: Why.didn’t.you.tell.me?

Ragini: Stop shouting, Arnav. Now what’s your problem?

Arnav: She just said me today.

Ragini: What!!! But why so late?

Arnav: You should have said me.

Ragini: When you were in my wedding, she didn’t realise but she did later on. And you know, as I am in my in-law house, I can’t talk with you much.

Arnav: You could have messaged me?

Ragini: Arnav, now what do you want me to do? You know, how I will be busy even before my marriage but now, along with my work I have to manage my household chores too. Try to understand. If not, then don’t talk.

Ragini cut the call. Arnav too threw his phone on bed safely as he didn’t want to break hi phone but want to vent down his anger.

Then he took his phone and messaged,

Arnav: Thank you, Shaina.

Shaina: You should see how your love is happy.
She sent a video. In that, Kushi was dancing for a loud folk song. She tucked her saree pleat in her hip and was dancing with a stick in her hand in happiness. Seeing that, Arnav was laughing heavily. Not able to control it, he made video call to her. Kushi seeing his call, switched off the music and set her afresh and took the phone call.

Arnav: So tired of dancing?

Kushi: How did you know?

Arnav shouted: Thank you Shaina

Shaina shouted from behind: Your welcome, sir

Kushi: When did you both get along?

Arnav: It was because of her I was there with you in the evening.

Kushi: Shaina? Really?

Arnav: Yes, yes. Believe me.

Kushi kept the phone down and hugged her with all her strength.

Kushi: Thank you, Shainu. I hadn’t expected this from you.

Shaina: It’s all my pleasure.

Kushi: Thanks a lot

Shaina: No problem, now go and talk with your lover.

Kushi nodded her head and went. After she has gone, Shaina went to her room and closed the door. Her eyes were teary.

Shaina: I always wish for your happiness, my love.

She remembered calling Arnav and saying about Helen to him. She said everything, top to bottom from the beginning. She also heartfully said a sorry for her behaviour. Arnav forgave her that instant.

Shaina: I will never stop loving you.

She wiped her tears and went to sleep.

Helen couldn’t understand how Arnav came to know about her. As far as she know, Kushi didn’t get time to say a hello to him, then how she would have said about her to him. Who could that be?

Helen: Only Shaina know about this. Did she say this?

Arnav and Kushi was talking more than an hour. But then Kushi was talking with him in a drowsy state. After few minutes, Kushi slept but her phone was on. Arnav would see her clearly. He smiled at her innocent face.

Arnav: How cute she is.

He kissed her over the phone and cut the call. After the call, Arnav called to Laksh’s number.

Arnav: Hello?

Laksh: Yes?

Arnav: Is Ragini there?

Laksh: And you?

Arnav: I am Arnav, her friend. If you don’t mind, can I tal…

Laksh: Please talk to her. She is in a very bad mood. And she said it was you who made her like this.

Arnav chuckled and muttered a sorry.

Laksh: No problem. I will give it to her.

Arnav: Ragu?

Ragini: No, it’s Ragini for you.

Arnav chuckled at her anger.

Ragini: Congratulations any way. Leave me, I will be alright soon.

This time, Ragini was deeply hurt and Arnav felt it.

Arnav: Raguuuuuu, I won’t ask you sorry.

Ragini: I know you won’t. It won’t hurt you anywhere for asking sorry.

Arnav: Why should I ask?

Ragini: Because you hurt me and you know that and don’t act.

Arnav: Okay, but you know what my mouth is not ready to say that word.

Ragini: Go to hell.

She cut the call and through this he came to know that Ragini is pacified.

Arnav: Uff! This girl.

The next morning, Arnav woke up soon and went for a jog, took bath and went to pick up Kushi. But Arnav got a shock on seeing Kushi in a saree today as she wears only salwars to office.

Arnav: Kushi, any special?

Kushi: No

Arnav: Then why saree?

Kushi: Simply.

Arnav: It is not your birthday but why?

Kushi: Today is the first day of us being as lovers. So, I felt.

Arnav (Laughing): What childish act is this?

Kushi: Okay, then I will change and come.

Arnav: No, no. You look like my lady.

Kushi blushed on hearing ‘my lady’.

Arnav: Please don’t blush, then don’t blame me.

Kushi: Why to blame you?

Saying so, she gave a peck in his lips.

Arnav: Kushiuu, are you alright? Bad girl. Don’t behave like this. I am a good boy.

Kushi opened her mouth in shock and bet him on his chest. He held her hand and pulled her closer and kissed her forehead.

Arnav: Only I have the right to be the bad boy and you should always be the good girl. Only then my life would be interesting.

Kushi: Okay.

Kushi walking past his bike making him confused.

Arnav: Hey, where are you going?

Kushi: Being a good girl, I should not come with you, right?

Arnav was locked by his own words.

Arnav: But I am a bad boy, right?
He pulled her and made her to sit in front of him and Kushi for frightened with this sudden gesture.

Kushi: Leave me, there are small kids.

Arnav: When did this thought go when you kissed me?

Kushi: I didn’t kiss you

Arnav: Then?

Kushi: It is called pecked.

Arnav: Okay, then I too..

Arnav tried to do the same as Kushi but Kushi put her palm between.
Kushi: Nooooo

Arnav kissed her palm and said

Arnav: Now, come. Let’s go.

Kushi: I will sit in the back.

Arnav: But you are a good girl?

Kushi: Now I am the bad girl and you are the good boy.

“Will you just stop it?”

Both turned to look at the person. It was Helen. Helen tried to hear what they were speaking.

Arnav: Why should I?

Helen: Wait and watch, I will give you transfer.

Arnav securely recorded everything in the phone.

Arnav: You can’t do anything as I am a loyal employee.

Helen: But I am the CEO’s daughter. I will do what I say. I will show you hell and I will get you by hook or crook.

Arnav smirked at this and sent the video to someone.
