20 Together

"I was supposed to call you" he said.

"Why?"

"Don't you know the reason?"

"I told you..."

Cutting her,

"I trust you and it does nothing with it, Khushi. I want to know what Hemadri told you"

"Promise me you won't lose your temper," Khushi asked.

"Will I lose my temper?" he asked shrinking his eyes.

Khushi nodded yes.

"Did he misbehave with you?"

"No... it was me who misbehaved with him," she said controlling her laughter.

"Whaaaaaat?" he was shocked.

"I mean I played up with him..."

"I didn't get you"

"He asked me to marry him"

"Whaaaaat? How dare he!" he gritted his teeth.

"Cool Arnav... It's obvious if a girl looks beautiful" She said that to make him laugh but Arnav was not in the mood to laugh.

"What did you say?"

"I agreed"

Arnav looked at her unbelievably. He gritted his teeth wrathfully.

"You promised me not to lose your patience" Khushi remembered.

"Is this why you had my words?"

"Relax... I said I will marry him. It doesn't mean I will marry him"

"But, what is necessary to lie to him?"

"It won't come into the LIE category... It's called Royal Sly" She said with attitude.

Arnav rolled his eyes.

"He agreed to bring his head-spy to the king to withdraw his allegation"

Arnav frowned.

"Don't you believe him?"

Arnav nodded no.

"I asked him to prove myself innocent to marry him"

"You had taken a risk," Arnav said.

"We have to... we have no choice"

"No, you don't have to do it"

"Why should not I?"

"Why would you take a risk for me?"

"Is not my duty to save you?"

"Hemadri is a dangerous man, Khushi"

"I will try my best... if I cannot, you will take care of him"

"We don't know what he is planning"

"His plan will not work..."

"You look overconfident"

Arnav heard a knock on his door. He gestured for Khushi to hide. She rushed to the bed and sat behind it. Arnav opened the door and raised his brows. He gave a space for the person to enter. A man entered and bowed. He was Arnav's spy who was serving for Hemadri. He removed his fake beard.

"Anything should I know, Satyam?" Arnav asked.

"Jee, Yuvraj... I got urgent information. Please ask your guest to be careful. She agreed to marry Hemadri it seems"

Arnav was silent.

"He was fully set to marry her. Yet, he has some other plan for her"

"What plan?"
