CHAPTER - 2 1 Year Contract!

RAIZADA MANSION - ARNAV ROOM

her big doe eyes blinked innocently in front of him, her mist covered eyes were like a tickling feather to his heart. A frozen heart that never beats after his mother's death. He hurriedly let go of her chin as if her teary eyes were blaming him for hurting her.

He took two steps back as her vanilla scent gives him a foreign yet familiar feeling. A confusion arises in his loud beating heart. He binds his hand together behind his back as he stands in front of her. His conflicted emotions hidden from the person in front of him behind his mask.

Khushi looked at him in confusion, she thought, " though I don't believe in rumours but this person is not in good health. ", Khushi looked at his pale face and the purple circle under his eyes. She has heard the rumors about him. Violent ugly man. Killed his 2 ex wives. But she has never believed in one-sided rumours. 

Khushi stood in front of him, as she waved at him in an innocent way, " Hello.. I'm Khushi Kumari Gupta. Eldest daughter of the Gupta family. I know, like me, you also married me due to family pressure. I married you only because I don't want to hurt my Nani. So, let's make a deal.. what do you say? ", she never thought of hiding this that she married him for his Nani. It's better to be clear from the start. And about herb. She knows how she can get it!!

Arnav pulled a chair and sat on it, his eyes flashed with interest, " oh.. what deal? ", he crossed his legs, entwined his hands on his knee. His eyes stared at the innocent beauty in front of him. His eyes held the intensity of the predator to capture his Prey.

" You find trouble while sleeping. You go violent sometimes. Your eyes have purple circles under them. Your head hurts a lot that makes you crazy and sometimes you do something that you are unable to control...... ", Khushi counts a lot of symptoms that makes arnav stood up from his place. He was surprised that this little white rabbit knows about his illness.

He frowned as he seriously asked, " how do you know? ", his eyes narrowed on her as she smiled at him.

Khushi smiled as she pulled out a document from the drawer and forward to him, " here.... Read this first.. if you are fine with this then.. let's sign the contract. ", her voice soft like a breeze flowing to his ears, whispering like a melody.

Arnav took the documents as he flipped the pages to read the content inside whereas Khushi explained slowly yet steadily, in an unhurried manner, " it's a contract. We will be a couple for 1 year after that we can divorce. I can see your body has a very special poison. Though I hadn't checked your pulse but I can confirm that it's a very potent poison. It's given to you on a daily basis, in small quantities. And you have only one year left to live.. ", Khushi said as she read the expression which is difficult through arnav's masked face.

After reading the documents, arnav looked at the innocent beauty. Who's pretending to be a white rabbit. Arnav chuckled with interest, " interesting.. ", Aman standing a few feet away looked even more surprised. ASR's illness symptoms has been kept secret and no one knows it. Except the family doctor who's like his family serving Raizada family from generations to generations.

" Ohh.. so in return what do you want? ", Arnav walked closer to her, as he leaned down, closer to her left side of her face, tickling her ears.

Khushi leaned back," I want two things from you.. ", her voice still soft. But her eyes' innocence vanished and a cleverness of sly fox appeared in her eyes.

" Ohh.. continue.. ", Arnav crossed his arms on his chest as he stared at her with his dark eyes.

" First, I want you to help me find my Nani. Shashi Gupta has hide her somewhere. Second, I want the herb that you bought from national auction last year. ", Khushi didn't hide what she wanted. She married him only for herb but if he can really help her find her Nani then it'll be very good. Even though she knows her subordinates can find her Nani but raizada's network is more than hers.

" Miss Gupta.. you said ASR has poison in his body. But why our family doctor told it that it's a rare illness!!? ", Aman asked before arnav say anything. He's worried for his Master.

Khushi looked at him, " it's a very rare poison which can only be bought on Black web market. In the days modern days with modern medical equipments, it's very difficult to find unless you have a very deep understanding of our country - India's traditional medicine. ", she titled her head towards arnav who's still looking at her deeply.

" Hmm.. so you know traditional medicine? ", Arnav asked with smirk on his lips.

" I have enough knowledge to cure this poison. You just need to prepare some herbs and also I have to apply needle art on your body. ", Khushi raised her chin in confidence.

" How do I believe that you can cure me? ", Arnav asked as he sit back on the chair. The air of arrogance and kingly aura is like dragon, around him.

Khushi chuckled, she pulled out a folded cloth, there was an om outside the folded cloth, as she opened the cloth, there was the lines of thin and sparkly needles on it.

She walked closer to him, " give me your hand.. ", she asked and he titled his head in a thought, his thought unknown to the people present in the room.

His lips raised in a side way, he forward his hand, " ok.. ", Khushi take his pulse. Her eyebrows frowned. This man is too strong. He can even handle the pain of burning fire inside him!!

Khushi looked at him and find him looking at her intensely, " Find me next time when you feel the pain. I can see you are trying to handle the pain but the poison in your body is spreading for 2 years now. If it reached to your heart then no one can save you.. ", she told him and his left eyebrow raised hearing her words.
