Chapter 20
Bali – Beach Shack
Arnav just told her the biggest secret of the Royals.. a part of their life story… about a person from their family.. Aman Singh Raizada who died in an accident and now his girlfriend Avni wants to revenge them. That’s both sad and scary for Khushi.
“You denied their alliance only because Avni was a spy?” she snaps.
“She wasn’t right for Aman” he argues.
“Who were you to decide that? Maybe if you hadn’t done so, today your brother would have been alive”
That hurts him.
“You are crossing the line Khushi” he gets up punching the little table between them. “You are no one to judge that”
“Hell yes” she get up too. “I am your wife”
“Then act like one” he shouts back. “Act like one” he says that again but this time in a stronger voice and walks away.
Khushi’s jaw drops. How can he be so blind and unconcerned about what she said. It might be painful to realize one’s own mistakes and admit them but it’s necessary to give you the solace you need to live life ahead. He needs a reality check!!
*****************
An hour later
“Avni? Oh Yes, I almost forgot about her” Suhani mutters over the phone call.
“Is this even a topic to forget, Suhani? I am now related to the Raizadas which means I need to know everything about them. All these little pieces of information are important for me to frame an exact picture about them which will help me find Payal”
Suhani agrees.
“Sorry, Khushi. It really had skipped from my mind. But what is she doing in Bali?”
“Probably finding the weakness of our relationship so that she gets a chance to expose the Royal’s fakeness”
“That’s a serious problem then” Suhani mentions.
“Doesn’t matter to me, Suhani. I came here for my Shoot which is done and I doubt Payal will follow me here considering she is pregnant. So, whatever that Avni does with the Royals is none of my business”
Suhani sighs.
“I know your marriage to Arnav wasn’t something you had desired but now he is still your husband and his family is your family too. If their image is tarnished, you too cannot escape from that stain”
Khushi rolls her eyes.
“Now you sound like my mother, Suhani” she replies. “She is always worried for people related to her than her own self. It’s good to be selfish at times, you know. To do things that benefits you, makes you feel alive… proud”
Avni exhales.
“You and your dreamy little world” Suhani snaps. “Anyways, I have to go now. It’s Angad’s birthday next week. Got to plan a surprise”
“Oh wow. That’s pretty cool. Whats the plan?”
“Don’t know. Haven’t decided yet. All these years he celebrated this day with Arnav Singh Raizada and the other boys. This the first time when I will get to participate in it too, as his wife. I am not going to waste this golden opportunity”
Khushi giggles. She really hadn’t guessed her best friend Suhani would be so romantic.
“Aww.. Wish I had a love marriage too. I would do something romantic for my husband then” Khushi teases.
Suhani laughs.
“You are married to Arnav Singh Raizada, the only man in this world who hates people showing affection and love to him. Angad tells me a lot about it. Arnav has always been in a strict environment which makes him so cold and arrogant. So, I would suggest don’t try it either. It will only irk him more”
Khushi goes in thinking mode. That’s a strange dislike. Who wouldn’t want people’s affection and love? A cool idea pops up in her silly mind and she decides how to spend the next two days of their honeymoon here. He wants her to act like his wife.. She will act like one … It’s going to be so interesting now…
****************
That entire evening, Arnav was out. He had some important work to finish and without Khushi’s knowledge otherwise she wouldn’t let him do so. When he returns back to their room, he finds it all dark. Where is Khushi?
“Khushi…” he shouts turning on the light buttons but none of them glow. Why? What happened to the electricity?
As he steps inside, one foot at a time, the lights start to glow one by one. Something is fishy. He can feel her presence around. It’s her perfume, the one Khushi always wears on herself. She is one branded woman in that sense and he kind of adores her selection. He finds a bright light glowed at the gallery with the beach view and a shadow of a woman quickly passing by there. Damn!! What the hell is she doing?
He strides to the gallery and opens the French doors to get outside. The table is full with delicious food bowls, hot and ready to be served. She has ordered dinner for them, good!! He hears the tinkling of the bangles from behind him. He turns instantly in the direction of that sound but doesn’t find any trace of her. It kind of irks him now.
“Khushi.. come out.. from wherever you are” he shouts.
He again hears the tinkling of bangles from the other side but when he turns there, she is again hidden.
“What the …” he exhales. “I am going to count to three and if you don’t come out.. I will..” he waits for her to respond from somewhere.
“I will” he continues.
“I will what?” she comes from behind him and stands right beside.
Arnav’s eyes widen seeing Khushi in a black saree, draped amazingly gorgeous on her body making her look irresistible for any man to keep his hands to himself.
“Why have you dressed like that?” his voice stutters.
“My wish” she giggles and tosses around to the chair, pulling it for him. “Sit”
Arnav gauges her actions. She is behaving unusual. What her next trick now? He sits on the chair and she occupies hers.
“What is all this Khushi?” he asks.
“Food.. Your favorite food. All of it”
“I can see that” he snaps. “But why?”
“Because you are my husband” she replies.. “My Royal Husband”
There!! He catches her. She is trying to annoy him. All these sugar-coated words prove that.
“You did so much of favor on me by buying me beautiful clothes.. And then even saved me from drowning in the pool. So, consider this as the repayment”
Arnav leans back.
“Are you drunk again?” he argues. “All of this isn’t your style”
“Will you keep guessing all that and waste such delicious hot food?” she teases.
She starts serving him and it only makes her look very alluring. He tries not to gaze longer and snatches the plate from her.
“I can serve myself”
Khushi holds her laugh. It’s working. The Raizada Royal is getting annoyed by the attention she is giving him as a wife.
“I hope you haven’t forgot; the bills are on you” he reminds.
Yeah!! Sadly, she remembers that too. Their check-out bills are going to wipe off her yearly savings.
“If my husband doesn’t eat stomach full, what’s the use of all that money which I have saved” she replies.
Arnav had just eaten a morsel and when he hears that sugar sweet statement, he almost chokes and coughs. She instantly gets up from her seat and rushes with a glass of water. He gulps the water whilst she rubs his back.
“Arnav… please tell me you are fine!!” she keeps rubbing his back.
This isn’t normal. The way she is rubbing her soft palms over his back is making him lose his mind because its different, he had never felt his hormones reacting to such a silly gesture from a woman. Why dammit??
He shrugs her arms away.
“I am fine… Stop over pouring your attention on me. I don’t like it” he scowls.
Khushi bites her inner cheek.
“You did so much for me…. how can I not.”
“Shut up” he interrupts. “Get back to your seat and eat”
She pouts and takes her seat again. Oh, she is loving this. Making him uncomfortable.
“This has less salt” he mutters tasting the soup.
“Is it?” she immediately uses the same spoon he had dipped in the soup and tastes some. “Umm… yes. Wait”
She sprinkles some salt and then passes him the spoon again. He keeps reading her actions. She seriously did that? Tasted the soup from the same spoon which he used?
“Namak ishq kaa” (It’s salt of love) she winks.
Arnav rolls his eyes at her. She is seriously pissing him off now but why is his body reacting entirely different than his mind?
“I don’t want the soup” he immediately denies having the soup to fail her actions.
“Okay.. I will drink it..”
She takes the soup bowl from his plate and is about to drink that soup when he grabs her arm.
“Don’t” he mouths.
“Why?”
“Because it’s a leftover.. Royals don’t eat leftovers.. And you being one should follow it”
Khushi rolls her eyes.
“It’s a leftover from my husband.. and wasting food like that is a punishable sin in God’s eyes. Now being your dutiful wife, how would I let God punish you? So, I will finish it”
She starts enjoying the soup… his leftover soup… cherishing it like it’s going to take her to heaven. Arnav finishes rest of the food in his plate, gets up and leaves inside.
Khushi laughs softly to enjoy her little victory. Did he really think marrying her his life would go that easy? Poor Royal!!
*****************
“Wait..” Khushi screams when Arnav is about to take his side on the bed.
He literally jerks behind confused and scared.
“What?” he shouts at her.
“This pillow… it will hurt you”
She removes the hard pillow from the bed and moves it aside.
“Seriously? You shouted for that?” he snaps.
“I don’t want you to get hurt during our honeymoon… what will people say?”
Arnav clenches his jaw.
“Khushi whats going on?”
“Whats going on?” she asks him back casually. “I am just making you feel comfortable and wasn’t that you who told me to act like your wife.. That’s how a wife behaves… All her senses are only on her husband…” she giggles.
Arnav fists his fingers. This is everything but comfortable.
“You want to play games?” he retorts. “Now? Here? This way? Then fine” he takes out his T Shirt and throws it away.
She hadn’t expected him to do this.
“You know what the first and foremost duty of a wife is?” he asks.
She doesn’t want to know.. Because she has framed that picture already in her mind from his actions.
“To make her husband feel loved” he completes taking a step towards her.
“What rubbish” she steps back. “I never.. I never heard this”
“You didn’t..? Never mind.. Now you did.. SO..” he grabs her arm and pulls her closer. “Lets spend some time together.” He murmurs huskily.
Khushi struggles in his arms.
“Let me go you idiot” she shouts.
“Idiot?” he groans. “No sweetheart.. that’s not a good word to use for a husband. No wife does that”
“How about Stupid?” she continues coaxing him.
His grip on her waist tightens.
“Another bad word and I am going to teach you some manners” he threatens.
“Laad governor” she mumbles.
He clenches his jaw and before he could react, Khushi shuts his mouth with her palm.
“You said bad word.” She shouts.. “Laad Governor is not a bad word.. Its… its very Royal”
Arnav doesn’t move his gaze from her eyes. She is scared of his next moves and he can read that in them. Why the hell did she even put on this show if she wasn’t prepared for it?
He shrugs her arm from his mouth and before she could slip away, he carries her in arms.
“Arnav… what are you doing? This is cheating.. I .. I didn’t use another wrong word for you”
He doesn’t care to answer that. He takes her to bed and drops her roughly. Before she can get up again and run away, he shuts the lamp and almost hovers over her. Sweat beads form on her skin everywhere.
“I know Judo..” she takes the position of punching by fisting all her fingers.
“Show me your Judo skills some other time. I am only interested in sleeping now..”
Saying that he rolls back to his side and pulls the quilt on them. Khushi takes a sigh of relief. She is glad he didn’t misuse his right neither took advantage of the game she put on them when he could easily have. He was definitely annoyed and she would have almost won this game had he not changed it at the very end!!
