Part 72 Bossy Khushi
Arnav was lying on the floor, hugging Khushi protectively. He waited for a while in the same position to get confirmed that the attack was over. He was tried to get up to take his mobile but Khushi gripped him hard.
"Arnavji, please don't go..." Khushi pleaded.
"I'm not going anywhere, Khushi. I have to take my mobile. Then only I could make a call to the commissioner."
"What if they shoot again Arnavji...?"
"My mobile is in bed only. Let me take it."
Khushi looked here and there and found a switchboard.
"Wait..." She went to the switched board crawling and switched the light off.
Arnav jumped on the bed and took the mobile. Without wasting time, he called the commissioner.
"Hello ASR..."
"I'm in my farmhouse with my wife. Somebody is attacking me."
"Attacking means?"
"I was supposed to be shot."
"I will send the force as quickly as possible. They will deal with the issue."
They disconnected the call. The commissioner called the nearby police station and ordered to send a force to guard Arnav's farmhouse.
At the same time, the security guards of Arnav's farmhouse ran, guessing the side from where the gun could be shot. They saw the shooter getting inside the car with a gun and went from there.
They came to the farmhouse to tell Arnav about the shooter. One of the securities called Arnav instead of knocking on the door because Arnav may think it was someone who just attacked them.
Arnav received the call.
"Sir, the shooter escaped in a car."
"Did you notice the number of the car?"
"No, sir. We saw the car from sideway."
"Ok... police will be here anytime. Call me again when they come."
"Ok, Sir."
Arnav sat on the bed. In no time, Khushi rushed to him and hugged him, sitting on his lap. No doubt, she was scared. Why not? After all, they escaped from death. Arnav sensed the shiver in her body.
"Khushi, I'm sorry. I should not have brought you here."
"I don't mind about myself. I was scared when you stood near the window. Thank God, nothing happened to you. Devi Maiya saved you for me. I don't know how I would have bearded the pain if you had got hurt."
Arnav smiled softly, caressing her back.
"How would you feel the pain if I would have gotten hurt?" he asked with the same smile.
Khushi broke the hug and looked at him painfully.
"Then what? You are my husband... don't forget that."
"I didn't forget that but not every wife feels her husband's pain." He said tucking her hair strand.
"Who would have tried to kill us, Arnavji?"
"I too don't know. Let's the commissioner handle it."
"You should be careful, Arnavji. Don't go anywhere alone. Ask the commissioner for the protection."
"Mmmm..." Arnav didn't deny her. He was delighted as Khushi showed her heart to him for the first time.
More to his surprise, Khushi cupped his face and drenched it with numerous kisses. Closing his eyes, Arnav experienced a fantastic moment. Khushi again hugged him and Arnav responded to the hug.
"Khushi, relax... nothing will happen to me."
Khushi's hands around his neck tightened.
"Cool... Ok?" He asked in her ear.
She nodded ok.
"Let me go..."
She nodded no.
"The police should have arrived. Let me check."
"I will also come with you."
"Listen to me..."
"No, I won't let you go."
"Ok... you too come with me."
They came out of the room.
"Switch off the lights." She insisted.
Arnav nodded yes and switched the lights off. Khushi moved with Arnav, circling his bicep.
Arnav slightly slid the curtain and looked out. He saw the police jeep coming towards his bungalow.
"The police arrived... no need to worry..." He consoled her.
The cops surrounded the farmhouse. Switching the lights on, Arnav let the police in. Arnav cooperated with the police whereas Khushi was roaming behind Arnav without leaving his side.
After finishing the process Arnav left the farmhouse. Arnav drove towards RM through another path which is five kilometres extra than the usual path. But he didn't care about it. He just wanted to be cautious. It can be possible only if he does unexpected things.
Arnav called Aman and said what happened in the farmhouse.
"What? Who the hell is that, ASR?"
"As of now, I have no idea."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Check whether Laya left India or not... Get confirmed about when Tiwari is getting released from jail..."
"And, we have to check Mrs Bhatia too..."
"Whaaat? What does she do with this incident?"
"Khushi encountered her the other day when she came to AR for the conference."
"What? What did she say?" Arnav asked looking at Khushi from the corner of his eyes.
Aman narrated what he heard that day. At first, Arnav became furious knowing how Mrs Bhatia tried to insult Khushi but he became delighted knowing how Khushi tackled Mrs Bhatia and thrashed her.
"You didn't say that to me before?"
"I so wanted you to witness the scene, buddy but the events held in RM because of Laya didn't give me a chance to tell you."
"Ok, do what I said."
"Yeah... just think I have started..."
They disconnected the call.
Arnav looked at Khushi smilingly.
"About whom you were talking with Aman?"
"About my wife..."
"Me?"
"Of course, you are my wife. (he chuckled) Aman said how you encountered Mrs Bhatia that day..."
If Arnav would have expected her to get suffocated, he was wrong.
"I let her go without damage that day because her husband was with her... or else...." She gritted her teeth.
"Or else?" Arnav looked at her raising his eyebrows and then the road.
"I would have shaved her head for eyeing on my husband," she said furiously.
Arnav widened his eyes shockingly. Would she shave Mrs Bhatia's head? Is she Khushi? Is she this much possessive? He was dumbfounded as well as glad.
They reached RM. Without saying anything to anyone, Arnav went to his room. There is nothing to be wondered if he didn't say anything to anyone. He is like that. But he didn't expect that Khushi reported to everyone.
Seeing them entering the house, Lavanya got ready to tease her.
"How was your day Khushi?" she nagged her by her shoulder.
"Don't ask me about it LA... we are alive...that's enough."
"What happened Khushiji?" Anjali asked nervously.
"Somebody tried to kill us..." she said fearfully.
"Whaaaat? Khushi... this is not a matter to make fun of..." NK said.
"I know this is not a matter to make fun and I'm not making fun."
"Is it true Khushi?"
She nodded yes.
"Arnavji called the commissioner and complained. They are going to guard RM too."
"Who did that?"
"Don't know..."
"How could we find them without any clue?"
"Arnavji will do that," Khushi said confidently.
"Thank God, nothing happened to you guys," Lavanya said.
Manorama and Nani became restless whereas Anjali started crying.
"Don't cry Anjaliji. Arnavji will find the person who is behind this attack."
"I can't even imagine the consequence Khushiji."
" Haan Khushi bitiya. Anjali bitiya is right."
"You don't worry Naniji. Arnavji won't leave RM for the next few days...."
"Whaaaaat!"
They turned towards the stairs and saw Arnav standing with shock. He came to Khushi and Raizadas became nervous. Arnav is going to chide Khushi for deciding on their behalf.
"What are you talking about? How could I be at home?"
"You have to... what do you think? Why I'm reciting everything to them? To make you stay at home only... I won't talk to you if you put a step out of RM. Don't forget that."
She went to their room, leaving Arnav speechless. Raizadas were astonished not because Khushi controlled Arnav but Arnav stood said nothing to her words which he never did before.
