“What happened yesterday?” Arnav’s calm voice yet laced with anger reverberated across the four walls.

“What happened? Nothing.” Came a careless reply.

“Mom stop playing with words. I know you had something with Khushi’s dilemma.” Arnav came to point without beating around the bush. The thing happened which Khushi doesn’t wish to happen in the first place. It’s silly of her to believe Arnav wouldn’t get an idea about her disturbed state when she clearly got disoriented only after his parents visit.

Khushi called Rekha once again with bated breath after getting zero response for her earlier call. As if waiting for this opportunity, Rekha turned back with an unfathomable expression and looked straight towards her eyes creating a sharp contact, “What do you want?”

Her frightened eyes slewed around the campus with her heart palpitating in unknown anxiety. Her fingers gripped her bag tightly close to her frame. Though Arnav had already shown around the campus and her classroom, she’s still sceptical to go on her own. Till date, after her schooling all, she went was to her work and then home. There isn’t even thought of going back to studying routine in her mind. And that made her anxious about her first day. Yet, she hurried her steps towards her classroom keeping all her insecurities and worries at bay fathoming the reality. Good or bad, she has to face it.

“Jiji…”

Arnav and Khushi swiftly parted themselves hearing Meera voice. Khushi eyes immediately went towards the ajar door where Meera is standing & ready to barge in. 

“Come in, Meera,” Khushi called her in and she entered immediately with a scrutinizing gaze gauging the reactions of both. Her constant gaze made him squirm in his place and he hurriedly donned a shirt. Khushi also didn’t fail to notice the suspicion on her eyes.

“It’s Lavanya here.” 

Khushi breath got stuck in throat hearing the unexpected voice at an unexpected time. Her vocabulary seems to run out of words as she maintains a silence forgot to even breath.

“Are you there, Khushi?” 

Khushi eyes dilated in surprise hearing a calm response from another side. This is not what she foresee when she heard Lavanya name.

"What book you want at the end of the year, Meera?" Khushi directed her question towards Meera, filling her plate with an extra roti.

Meera tore her eyes from her plate and frowned upon her sister "Which book?"

Khushi looked at her weirdly, "The book which you wanted to buy and asked Jiju to take you to a bookshop."

“What do you think about love?”

Meera sat straight hearing his firm voice. Her heart galloped as if she has finished a marathon. Sweat beads formed on her forehead & roll down her temple as the time passes. Her palms turned wet with sweat making her grip slacken on her school bag. Her eyeballs struggled to stay still as it slewed across the cafe. She gulped her saliva on her parched throat looking frightened by his question which carries a menace.

“You came?”

Arnav eyes rose up from his shoes which he’s currently working on taking it off and looked weirdly at his extra enthusiastic welcoming wife who’s showing her whitey pearl teeth. Her face is glittering in an additional glow and her eyes are dancing in a new rhythm. She came forward and took his bag with a smiley reaction pasted on her face.

“You haven't revealed why you broke the mobile yet?” Arnav questioned leaning on the headrest.

Khushi crawled upwards and rested her head on his lap. Arnav fingers instantly found its way inside her scalp. While Khushi gripped his other hand against her chest and begun to narrate the incident that made her aggressive for the very first time in her life.

However books are opened in front of Khushi, her concentration was solely robbed by her family. She couldn’t able to come up with a convincible solution which justifies their action. They came on their own claiming Lavanya health was resultant of Arnav actions and left on their own without a word. They’re the hardest puzzle of her life, period.

Khushi mouth opened wide seeing Lavanya mother, Ratna. Her shock seems no end that she found Rekha beside her.

“I need to talk to you, Lav.” Lavanya mother walked near them and dragged Lavanya with her to a room.

He shivered at the intensity of her wet kisses. Not in his wild dreams he thought Khushi will be a seductress one day. Unknowingly he hummed at her in response. Khushi possessed a winning smile, proud of finding a winning secret.

“Will you not speak to me?” She further questioned placing her head on his arm.

“WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?”

The place suddenly turned silent hearing a harsh voice. Everyone head automatically tilted towards the source of the voice.

“Lavanya…” Whispered Arnav in shock. Not only him, everyone looked at her with the same shock written over them. Tucked on a loose plain kurta, she looked weak with a pale face and dark circles around her eyes. Though her appearance is not matching with her voice, she looked the very sight of Khushi with disgust through her red puffy eyes.

“We should bring Meera next time Arnavji. She will also love this place.” Khushi tried to say chirpily masking her disappointment.

It would be a lie if she says, she isn't affected by his null response. Even after shedding all her inhibitions and restrictions, she has confessed openly in a public area. And what he did? Adopting dumbness, void of emotions, he stilled like a pillar. Agreed, he would be shocked by her confession, but come on she doesn't say something incredible. Hasn't her actions from day one screamed her willingness for him?

Khushi tightened her hold on Arnav shoulder feeling a sudden change in his driving. The two-wheeler vehicle speed hiked as it entered into the highways.

“Arnavji…” She mumbled, gripping his shoulder flesh in fear.

He bit his inner cheeks sensing her trepidation and slowed down the speed

Arnav fluttered his eyelids feeling something strange on his body. He badly wants to continue his beauty sleep yet he wants to see what is the unusual feeling which keeps disturbing his sleep. Tearing the eyelids seems a herculean task at the moment but he took it as a challenge and won too.

His face instantly adopted a frown seeing Khushi drawing some irregular pattern on his chest lost in some thoughts. He captivated her crawling fingers which is dangerously close to crossing the territory.

“Mom Ratna aunty scolded me.” She watched her son complaining about her friend with a pout.

“Aww… Why she scolded my boy? Did my boy done something he shouldn't have?” She cooed scooping him in her arms.

He shook his head in denial and pouted in return. She nuzzled his soft cheeks, hugging her close to her heart “Then what?”

He giggled pushing her face away “Mom stop doing this. I only do this with my laddoo baby.”

“And I’m doing it with my laddoo baby.” She chirped leaving him down

“Arnavji…”

“Hmmm…”

“I'm hungry.”

Arnav immediately pulled his head back from her neck.

“When is your son coming?” Rekha asked expectedly looking at her husband who just stuffed his mobile on his pocket dejectedly.

“He’ll not come. He wants to… ” Before Raj could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by his raged wife “I already know it. How will he come when that girl has him wrapped around her fingers? If it’s not enough, from yesterday you’re singing her praises as if she’s some maahan.”

“Khushi….” He called again only to meet with silence. He firmly believed Khushi is not going to hear his side unless she’s down from her anger. Throwing the pillow & mat aside, he sauntered towards the bed and frowned at the way she laid.

‘Clever girl. She doesn’t want me near her. Learn from her you stupid. You don’t need enemies from outside, your tongue itself is enough.’ He scolded himself loudly thinking it’s to be mind voice, unknowingly bringing the lost smile on her face.
