"Khushi! Wake up. We've arrived." Arnav tapped her lightly. He touched her cheeks and realized it was wet.
"What the.." he thought to himself.
"Did I really hurt her with my words?? Ohh Khushi." He sighed.
He stood up and tap her back. She got up and raised her brow.
"We are landing in few minutes, go freshened up. After you done please come out." He left.
Khushi did what she was told to do and went back to her sit.
"Please put on your seat belt, we are landing." They announced.
They got down and went straight into the car provided for them. Khushi kept quiet throughout the journey not that she was already a talkative.
She thought, Arnav is loosing his patience with her and is a sign she's a bad omen. He only saved her from disgrace and now he's asking for a favor that I constantly don't care. I'm ungrateful, I should be grateful, maybe if I deny him what he wants he might go out to look for something else somewhere and when the paparazzi finds out, they would blame our marriage and me. I have to act fact.
Unaware to Khushi herself she was shedding tears and Arnav was perplexed.
"Khushi? Are sure you are okay? You are crying." Arnav whispered to her and she cleaned her tears.
"I'm fine. I'm okay." She shrugged and Arnav glared at her.
"I know you are not fine and we have to discuss things before we get to the family house." He said giving her a hint to start talking.
"I would agree to what ever you say from now onwards, even if you tell me to jump off a cliff and die I would do it...I...I ....I'm too ungrateful for not granting you your wish from the start, I should have looked at how you helped me not just help, how you saved my dignity and my father reputation, I shouldn't be greedy. What I said before forget it, now what ever your decision is. If you want my dress off now I can do it." She whispered in-between her soft cries. Arnav eyes softened.
He closed the barrier between the driver and them. And made the window tinted black without any word that can be heard from them.
"Go ahead strip." He dared her and she froze. Her soft fingers shaking and her face full of fear. For the first time since she met Arnav this was the most fearful word she ever heard from him. No emotions held into those words and she feared for her life.
"Huh?..." She hiccup...."I..."
"Tskk... Are you going to tell me you "I...don know "... because I wouldn't be surprised you are fond of saying that even if the topic is important." He stated the fact, she kept her head down in shame.
Arnav saw her bringing her shaky hands to her blouse to unbutton. He waited to see what she would do. She finished buttoning, removed the blouse whilst her hands was still shaky. She removed her vest leaving her skirt and red bra. Arnav couldn't breathe, has she gone nuts. She was about to open her bra when she felt strong arms stopping her. She raised her head looking at a worried Arnav.
"That's enough Khushi." He said.
"But...." She started.
"No buts.... that's enough for today." He help her wear her vest and blouse back. Buttoned it for her. He cleaned her tears and kissed her forehead, her cheeks and lightly pecked her lips.
"I don't need you belittling your self because of my needs and your grandpa. I needed you to stand for yourself, talk to me what you feel and how feel. We are two in the relationship, even though we married in a different circumstance but not love but at least trust should be there, understanding one another and taking important decisions together. So next time I asked you of something about us you should bring your opinion okay. Right now I do care for you, I hate to see you cry or worry and I don't know why, if it was someone I wouldn't waste my time talking to the person. I care because is you,so at least also care so I wouldn't think you fear me because I kill people, I'm a don blah blah! I need you to see me as your friend, lover, husband and one-day a father of your kids, see me as a normal person and with that we can communicate freely without any hardship and please stop calling yourself a bad omen and how I saved your dignity , I wanted to marry you. So did I, I guess it was faith not pity." He finished and Khushi couldn't contain her joy she hugged his waist sniffing.
"Thank you ." She sniffed.
"Don't thank me Khushi. " "Take this and clean yourself well we need to look presentable. And please stop crying. " He ruffled her hair.
"Hello Sidiq. Yes, on our way. She's with me. She was crying because I scolded her on the plane and she cried to sleep. Sulking all day." Arnav said and Khushi opened her mouth.
"Close it, flies would enter." He teased.
"Okay, later."
He stared at her and she gulped. Why is he staring at me . It's something on my face, she touched but nothing was there. He bend down to her ear and whispered.
"The chauffeur might think we are doing dirty and naughty things in the car so he might report to my family, let's give them a little show." His breath fanned her .
"I'm going to to give you a hickey on your neck and ear." He dropped and Khushi gulped. He turned her face to face him .
"Do you concern?" He said huskily and she nods.
"Words baby.." Arnav voice deepened.
"Yes.." Arnav kissed her ear lope and she shivered. He bit her ear and she scream in pain. Arnav sucked on it to relieve her and surely she liked it. He trailed wet kisses down her neck, he bit and suck on it.
"Arnav....ahh... Arnav..." His name was like a melody from her voice. He sucked on were he bit and gave them open wet kisses before finally lightly kissing her.
Khushi was ashamed because she never felt this strange feeling before. She was shy. Arnav entwined their hands together and gently kiss it. Khushi blushed.
"Sorry for that baby..." He teased , just the the driver informed through the intercom they have arrived.
"Let your hair down to the other side and bring a little hair to cover the hickey." He assisted her in that.
"Ready to face monsters?" He asked meanwhile a monster was hidden in his pants 🤣🤣🤣.
Delhi
"Why is there new faces around?" Anjali asked no one in particular taking her sit.
"New staff." Shyam answered.
"Shall we proceed to eat." Everyone started their breakfast and Payal was observing Shyam. He looks handsome she thought.
They work in unison without disturbances and Payal was the one observing them all.
"What a quiet and interesting family." She thought
"Akash? When are you getting yourself a woman?" Dadi asked fed up with his attitude.
"Soon....not now... I'm still young ...I need to chill." He foolishly said which made Dadi angry.
"Young? Huh! Are you calling 27 years young Aakash. You are not young enough for some suitors cause they only choose you because of Arnav's money , face the reality." Dadi taunts.
"Do we have to bring his topic into this." Akash said loosing his patience.
"Hmm! Yes, I want you to get into a rich family so the riches would double. So make sure you bring a rich girl home." She stated and Akash grumble.
"And you Arnav's favorite. You are 25 , so the next one is you." She pointed.
Shyam shooked his head. He can't believe this old lady.
"I learnt Khushi is from a rich family in Lucknow, her grandfather is Sidiq, the then caretaker of Arnav when he was young and given the don tittle. He has so many riches but decided to reside in Lucknow after his son's death to take care of Khushi, the have cotton, silk and clothing line including sweet restaurant and many more according to some folks in Lucknow." Nani spoke which made everyone on the table surprised.
"And when did you learn that from?" Dadi asked her quiet sister curious.
"The next day after their wedding I went to the temple and some people were discussing the topic....so that's all. " She got up and left.
"What have gotten into granny! I don't like this granny, when was granny so talkative? I feel bad vibe." Anjali muttered.
"So N.K what sister said it's true?" Dadi asked.
"Yes. But Khushi greedy aunt demanded for the properties so she gave it all to her..." He shrugged.
"WHAT!!!" Both Anjali and Dadi said at the same time.
"It's she out of her mind?" Dadi was perplexed, this stupid girl gave all her inheritance to family without hesitation that she wouldn't do.
"It was the property she wanted that was why she disgraced her that day." Nk shrugged and left for his room.
"Unbelievable! I should have let Akash married her when he tried raising his hand. All those money would have been ours . Who could have just manipulated her. Another loss." She spoke in agony.
All this was heard by Payal who smirked. She thought rich folks are never satisfied with money.
