Bitter Realization!!! ✔

Chapter 17

Arnav narrowed his eyes, as if looking straight pass his soul. Vivek felt like a criminal in a court room.

At last, Arnav nodded his head. Okay, I believe you. But next time, inform me before going anywhere.

Yes, ASR. Vivek said and left for his room.

Arnav's gaze followed him till his room.

I am trusting your decision, Aman. He muttered.

Vivek felt Arnav's gaze following him. He entered the room and closed it quickly.

Leaning on the door with his back, he let out a long breath.

Phewww... He really knows how to give chills.

Dangerous man!!!

Vivek went to washroom to fresh up and call it a day!!

Lying down on bed, only one thought was in his mind.

I will have to be careful of ASR.

Arnav brought out his phone and called Aakash. When the phone connected, he heard his voice.

Hello, bhai??

Aakash!! He sighed.

Bhai, you all are okay na?? Di, Khushi Bhabhi, everyone is fine!!??

Calm down, Aakash. Everything is fine. I just wanted to ask about you all.

We all are fine, Bhai. Nani and Mami are sad that you all are not here but they understand that it's for safety. They know about Shyam now!! Business is also going well. You tell!!

Aakash, Shyam shot Aman today!! Arnav said, clenching his fist.

WHAT??? Aakash shouted from the other side.

Yeah. I don't know what happened but you will have to be careful now Aakash. Appoint guards at Shantivan and AR. Stay secured. Don't leave Payal, Mami or Nani alone in the house or even outside.

I am counting on you, Aakash. Protect them all!!!

I will, Bhai. I will. You stay safe too. Can I talk to Di once, bhai? I didn't talked to her since so long!!

She will be aslee-

Just then, Anjali entered the living room. She is here.

Arnav gave phone to Anjali who asked through eye brows.

Aakash. Arnav said.

A smile formed on her lips and she quickly took the phone.

Aakash?? How are you?? How is everyone?? She questioned.

Calm down, Di. We all are fine. Ap kese ho?? (How are you?)

I am fine too!! Anjali said, sitting on sofa.

And our rajkumari?? Aakash asked, love evident in his voice.

Anjali caressed her belly, she is fine too but missing you all.

Arnav gestured that he will come back as he saw that she was in a mood of long chat.

He came upstairs and again entered the room.

Khushi was trying to get up the bed and was struggling to maintain her posture.

Khushi. Arnav called.

I told you not to get up, dammit!! He said holding her.

Wo... I need to use washroom.

Then you should have called me!! Arnav scolded.

I want to move my legs, Arnavji. Khushi said with sad eyes.

Ohhh, Khushi. Arnav sighed. Come I will help you!!

With help from Arnav, Khushi stood on her feet and put pressure on them.

Arnav encircled her waist and brought her hand around his waist.

Take a small step. He instructed.

Khushi took the same, a pain shot in her leg towards her back.

Come on, Khushi. You can do it. He encouraged as Khushi tightened her hold.

With great difficulty, Khushi did take another step but that was it. She lost her strength and her legs limped.

Arnav immediately scooped her in his arms.

You did well. But enough for now. From tomorrow, we will do physiotherapy and will try again. Okay??

Khushi nodded her head and leaned towards his shoulder.

Arnav dropped her in washroom and came outside.

Just few days, Khushi. I promise you will again walk on your feet. He thought in pain as her eyes came in her mind.

The look of hurt when she lost her balance.

I promise. He whispered.
