chapter 7A

    CHAPTER-7A

everyone slowly went back to their rooms 

arnav came to his room and laying on his bed just kept staring at a blank space and after some time of swirling of thousand thoughts in his mind also the accusations of nk he came to think of the night when after seeing shyam trying to hug khushi from back side when she was working in the kitchen he was mad with rage and what he did after she came back to room

                                              *FLASHBACK STARTS*

arnav was pacing the room in rage when he saw khushi enter their room and his rage had blinded him so much that he didn't see the scared expression on her face as if she was terrified of something 

arnav missed this and in two long strides went to khushi and yanked her towards him 

khushi was trying to come out of the terrified incident of shyam trying to hug her from back or trying to kiss her in RM between all the family members when she was forcibly yanked and next when she opened her eyes she was glued to arnav's chest and her innocent and more terrified eyes met with hs rage filled ones and then a cry escaped her mouth coz of the pain that arnav was inflicting on her

kh-ahh arnavji plz hame chodiye ye aap kya kar rahen hain?[ahh plz leave me arnavji what r u doing?]

ar-what m I doing really khushi what were you doing huh

kh-hamne kya kiya hai plz hame chodiye arnavji hame dard ho raha hai[what have I done plz leave me arnavji u r hurting me]

ar-really now khushi I m hurting you and what about u 

kh-hamne kya kiya hai kiss baat ki saza they rahen hain aap hame[what have I done why r u punishing me](she said in a raised voice)

somewhere arnav was vulnerable and he was saying a few things which he really meant

ar-mujhe dhoka dene ki saza ,meri patni hokar bhi uss  shyam ko apne karib ane ka dene ki saza[I m punishing u for betraying  me,allowing that shyam to come close to u even after  being my wife]

kh-hamne aisa kuch nai hai aravji[I haven't done anything like that arnavji]

ar-oh common khushi stop lying I have seen shyam hugging u in kitchen just a while ago with my own two eyes and u still say u haven't done anything wrong 

kh-lekin wo hamne nai kiya shyamji aakar hamare gale lage thhe hame to pata bhi nai tha hamari peeth[back]thhi unki taraph jab wo aaye aapke samne hi to wo apne kamre main gaye thhe[ that was not me arnaji he hugged me I didn't even knew he came in the kitchen he went to his room in front of u i had my back towards him how would  I know he came to kitchen]

ar-oh plz khushi as if I don't know that u ppl planned it this way to meet at night with some or other pretext of work 

kh- I didn't do anything arnavji I m tired of explaining this to u that I haven't done anything wrong it's shyamji who do all of it and pretend that I m involved in it in front of u 

ar- ohh shut u khushi u always lie to me [saying this he moves away from khushi ]

khushi goes to arnav and hugs him from behind while he was standing near french doors facing poolside with one hand on the door

when khushi goes and hugs him pressing her body on his keeping her face on his back and holding his shoulders from front side

arnav for a few seconds didn't understood anything and later for few minutes he enjoyed the feel of khushi close to him 

kh-now tell me arnavji why r u hugging me

arnav came out of his thoughts and got confused he takes r hands in his and turns to look at her 

ar-t's u who hugged me khushi not me 

kh- how could u say that arnavji ask anyone who ever will look at us will say that we both hugged each other not that I hugged u and u were not aware that I was going to hug u

arnav was n stupid to not understand what she meant by all this 

ar-so u r trying to justify yourself y this act of yours that shyam was the one who hugged u and u were not aware of it 

khushi just nodded with tears ready to spill out 

arnav could never see her tears what may come and in the vulnerable state that he was he was not able to keep up his facade of hating her and her justifications seemed correct to him and involuntarily his hands wiped away her tears and seeing her arnavji soften towards her for once in such a long time made her weak she hugged him and cried a lot

ar-shh chup hojao khushi [shh calm down khushi]
