Chapter 46
Khushi’s POV
Last night as promised, Arnav didn’t touch me unnecessarily again and what I hate about myself is that I even let him spoon me and sleep. This is so isn’t me. I am not like this. He’s hurt me so much and instead of making him payback I let him sleep in my bed. Why? Maybe because he is the same man who proved me what love is? He taught me to trust people. He is the one why I am seeing the world in a positive side too. And I do hope he didn’t do this all so that one day he could dominate me. If that’s what he did, then I don’t think I would ever forgive him.
There is a knock at the cabin door and Aman enters inside after my permission.
“You called me, Ma’am?”
“Yes. I need you to do something for me.”
I give him a hard drive which he readily takes from me.
“I want you to copy all the data from Arnav’s laptop onto this hard drive.”
Aman’s eyes widen in shock as he hears my orders.
“From ASR’s laptop?”
“Yes,” I nod. “Each and everything that’s on that laptop I need it on this drive.”
“But Ma’am. How can I do that? I mean, its against the company rules.”
“Don’t teach me the rules Aman.”
“I beg your pardon Ma’am. But ASR is our Boss’s son and ..”
“And he is still working under the CEO of this company which is me. So, I decide what needs to be done and how. I need the details max by tomorrow.”
Aman sighs and nods in agreement.
“I’ll get it.”
He leaves the cabin and I lean back on my chair again thinking every possible reason why Arnav can go against the company. He can’t be doing this only for power!!

Arnav’s POV
When I wake up in Khushi’s bed, she is not here. In fact, she is not in the room either. So I make my way back down to look for her and that’s when Mom tells me she is off to work early. Hmm.!! I know she is going to find every damn clues against me.
“Arnav,” Mom pats my arm driving my attention on her again.
“Yes?”
“Is all okay between you and Khushi?”
“Absolutely, Mom. Why did you ask?”
“I don’t know. Just that… I felt her a bit worried since yesterday. Did you speak to her?”
No! I didn’t speak to her because I know why she is hurt.
“I’ll speak to her,” I assure Mom. “You don fret over it and focus on your upcoming wedding. Did Khushi pick the best invitation card?”
“She did, yes.” Mom smiles. “She has a good taste.”
“That she has..” I wink at Mom who realizes I am praising myself in turn as Khushi chose me to be her life partner.
Mom laughs.
“Raizada men are always flying high in the sky. So full of themselves..” she frowns. “What are your plans for the weekend? Taking Khushi out?”
Weekend. That’s tomorrow. I recall Khushi stating Aatish that she is going to attend his cruise party.
“I’m taking her out. For dinner perhaps.”
I hadnt planned it so far, now I do. I don’t want Khushi anywhere in that party…
“Great, enjoy your time. Now let me go check if your father is ready for office. Can you believe he still can’t fix a perfect knot to his tie?” she giggles. “I wonder how he managed without me all these years..”
“He didn’t manage Mom, he just survived…”
I mean it. Dad and Mom just survived without each other and it is now that thy are finally going to live their lives to the fullest.
“You have turned so romantic..” Mom pats my cheeks lovingly. “Khushi’s love has made you so. Be like this.. forever..”
“I intend to..” I kiss her forehead and then make my way to the room. If Khushi is off to work early, I can’t wait to know what she is doing at my back there.
*******************
Arnav’s POV
I barge into Khushi’s cabin that afternoon with my laptop when she least expected me to. She gives me a heated glare before continuing typing on her laptop furiously.
“Nice move…” I say, keeping my laptop on her table. She looks at it and then her gaze move back on my face.
“I don’t have time for your silly mocking, Arnav Singh Raizada.”
“Neither I… So, I came here to save your time and energy..” I snap before pushing my laptop towards her.
“What the hell is all this?” she growls.
“You wanted the details from my laptop, right? Why ask Aman to copy all that in the drive when you can check that yourself. Go on…”
She looks a bit shocked that I came to know she played that nasty trick with me.
“How do you know I…”
“I have a secret camera in my cabin which records everything that happens inside there.. I saw Aman trying to hack my laptop which was obviously on your orders, if I am right.”
She looks pissed.
“Yes, I asked him that. And why do you even have a secret camera in your cabin?”
“To catch people like you misusing their powers..” I snap.
She grits her teeth.
“We both know who is misusing what and who, Arnav. Don’t get into that..”
I am about to argue when Dad steps inside.
“Hey, thank god you two are here. I came here to tell you that me and Aarti are not in Delhi for the weekend. I am taking her out for a small weekend getaway. It’s a surprise for her.”
Khushi smiles and I know she is happy. So am I. They both deserve this.
“Great, I wish you both some great time there..” she replies.
“Thank you, dear.” Dad nods. “what about you two?”
“I am taking Khushi for dinner tomorrow,” I declare.
“No I have other plans.” Khushi straightaway denies. “I am attending the Ghosh cruise party tomorrow. They have invited me and they working with us means we can’t deny attending it.”
“Someone else can attend it on our behalf..” I mutter.
“That wont look good,” she declines my remark in that same harsh tone.
“Don’t argue over it now,” Dad mentions. “I suggest you and Arnav both attend it. That way, you can be together and also attend the party.”
Khushi doesn't debate over it nor I.
“Oh yes, we have a conference now with the Japan team. You both coming?”
“Right behind you,” Khushi replies before picking her laptop and walking away with Dad.
She is not going to avoid attending that party tomorrow, will she? Damn hell!!
************************
Khushi’s POV
Last night Arnav did knock my bedroom door to sleep together but I didn’t open it. He banged it twice and probably thought I was asleep so he didn’t disturb me. And once again today morning I left early for work to ensure he doesn't see me. I am busy with back to back meetings at office so I don’t get to meet Arnav there either but when I reach home at night and getting ready for the cruise party, Arnav enters my room. How? He has a key to the door? When did he make one? It’s creepy.
“What the hell are you doing?” I scream at him while trying to zip my dress. Thankfully I am wearing the dress and not in an embarrassing position when he entered. “You got a key to my room now?”
He gives me a onceover and though his eyes do seem to be pleased, he quickly lets his mind take control.
“No effing way you are wearing that to the party tonight.. Change it.”
And there he goes all possessive again.
“Why?” I zip my dress and cross my arms at front. “Why do you care if I wear this tonight and attend that party? Show this obsession on the substitute you get after I leave this house, Arnav. It wont work on me anymore.”
I turn to the mirror again and he gets the backless view of my dress. I know it’s too low but I love it and no one can force me to change it. Not even Arnav Singh Raizada. Within a second, Arnav reaches me and grabs me by my elbow turning me around.
“I said change the damn dress.” He grunts.
“Why do you have a key to my room? You are invading my privacy, Arnav.”
“You didn’t let me sleep with you last night..”
“That’s because I didn’t want to sleep in the arms of a man who is going to replace me in two weeks. Who has hurt me so much in the last two days that I wonder if he is even the same man I loved..”
His expressions mellow down as if he is hurt too… for me… Oh God! What the hell is he hiding? And why? Then suddenly as if he remembers something his anger is back.
“I am asking you for the last time..” he warns me. “Are you changing your dress or not?”
“No” I stick to my decision.
He tips his head and then the next moment he splashes the coffee from the mug he was holding so far, right on my face, staining my dress.
Damn hell. I cough to suppress the sudden choking in my throat. He is about to take me in his arms, feeling worried when I push him away. He can’t touch me. Not anymore. Not when he does such silly acts to make me change my outfit. I am so annoyed at him that the next second, I grab my coffee mug and then spill the coffee on his face too, ruining his black tuxedo. Tit for Tat.
Arnav is shocked at my counter action but I don’t even get time to rejoice his state as the next instant, he grabs me by my nape and hurls me to his body.
“Looks like we both have to change our outfits now after a shower together…” He groans.
The audacity of this man!! He thinks I am going to let him shower with me? He is so adamant that Arnav almost is about to lean down to carry me when I finally do what I always wanted to do ever since last two days since he hurt me. I kick between his legs.
He groans in pain, glaring back at me as I move away from his body.
“Touch me again, and I am kicking you hard this time..” I snap and turning away, I pick a fresh towel and lock myself in the bathroom, leaving him aching and in pain behind me.
To be Continued
now that's the Khushi I was wondering all the time. Hahaha, though I'm feeling bad for Arnav, the fact that he's hiding himself and his other personality from khushi made her do that, Khushi came out of her shell to make this man feel loved and even allow him to love her. I think Arnav isn't doing right , though I know he had a point but still he should let her know or give her any damn clue. Like Khushi did, she let him know that she is working with Atish Gosh and he didn't even gave her an idea. TBH i like this mature couple aaaaalottttt
ReplyDeleteas always loved it loved it loved it
Biya.
Everything i wanted to say
DeleteArnav still loves khushi he has not changed i think he doing this to protect Khushi from Shiyam. Shekha 2012
ReplyDeleteAwesome Update. Arnav is acting. He loves Khushi and us possessive about her. Arnav is trying to protect Khushi from some threat. His change of emotions prove it. Arshi's coffee fight is amazing. Both are fire. Khushi kick Arnav Loved the possessive Arnav. Khushi is finally back as the shrewd business woman. I love Khushi in this chapter. Her attitude her commanding nature everything. Arnav has some purpose for his changed personality. Hope that gets revealed soon. I liked Khushi's emotional side too. She has a soft corner for Arnav. Loved the entire chapter and of course Arshi😍😍
ReplyDeleteloved this khushi and arnav..both are like two kids fighting...arnav better tell the truth before things turn worse..
ReplyDeleteWoooooooow love this part and he really deserved to be kicked he became too bold with her as if she was animal not a human has heart and feelings that he hurt her so much and camera also in her cabin really too sad for khushi
ReplyDeletehahahahaha love it...
ReplyDeletecan't wait for the party and see jealous and possessive arnav
I love how u fulfilled my wish , i badly wanted Khushi to kick him on his s h I n. And u did it. Thanks for that. She gonna regret now. It's clear he is acting and I am wondering how she will manofy him for kicking him in between his legs when she learns the truth. I expect some staunchy romance. Is it too much to ask for ??
ReplyDeleteKhushi regret!? Where did regret come for khushi?????
DeleteActing to protect your loved one is good. But even in private spaces, humiliating her, literally splashing coffee on her face, hurting her with words - that's going too far. I hope even if she knows the truth at the end, she doesn't go so easy on him. That would be out of her character and unjustifiable for what he is doing in the garb of protection.
ReplyDeletePlz stop. Its getting extremely toxic and noxious.
ReplyDeleteP. S. Bang on khushi. Khushi rocks and arnav shocks.
Lol The update was amazing but I can feel Khushi's pain. What ever is Arnav hiding I hope he tells it to Khushi fast because , Khushi has just now started to trust someone and is falling in love with Arnav
ReplyDeleteArnav is literally treating khushi like his sex toy. Atleast thats what its coming out to me. And i wonder if its acceptable and forgiveable or not.... Thanks for bringing back the KKG. Hope she is gonna stay and keep rising like a phoenix.
ReplyDeleteI'm so confused with arnav behaviour what is going on in his head
ReplyDeleteArnav is definitely up to something but I can’t figure out what.
ReplyDeleteThis two omg...last part was so funny😂😂😂...the kick one😂😂
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was funny when Arnav threw coffee on Khushi's dress and that kick by Khushi was rightly deserved for such obnoxious and egoistic behaviour of Arnav.
DeleteHe-he-he thats like Khushi bang on
ReplyDeleteShe can't be having just 1 backless dress!!!! Its impossible. Imagine asr state seeing kkg coming in just just backless but in deep neck with a high slit side dress, that would be a perfect reply.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeletePlease Madhu make this happen.
Also whatever reason asr has for doing all this I hope Khushi is the one who solves it and makes him understand that she perfectly capable of handling corporate politics.
The change of dress idea... definitely yes. But whatever Arnav is hiding from her is bigger and something which he knows is going to hurt Khushi big time. Agreed she doesn't need any protection as she is a strong CEO but this is different. Let the story take its course and everything will be out. Just stay back, read and enjoy the flow 😘
DeleteAbsolutely wants to wants that why, ultra pro max change of dress is needed;)>
DeleteWhat's wrong with this guy?
ReplyDeleteWhy behaving like that
Beautiful and interesting update, sorry unable to comment more than this as i am not good in words
ReplyDeleteSecret camera? Any spy in the office? 🤔. Loved khushi's behaviour in this update. I can see arnav acting like this for khushi but the words he used, his behaviour in front aatish ghosh and trying to romance with Khushi without her interest little too much.
ReplyDeleteKhushi is hurt and in so much pain.
Hope in party Khushi will get some hint for arnav behaviour.
Waiting for the next update dear....
I Just can't stop laughing .
ReplyDeleteJust share whatever you intend to do with Khushi,Arnav... you are complicating the things which will never turn in good way...
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Much needed. Good! Cheers
ReplyDelete🔥🔥🔥. Spicing things up the lovey dovey Arshi was not the usual style and this is seriously hotter than before. OMG
ReplyDeleteEither they fight or love each other. But this combination of both is very confusing.
ReplyDeleteLet khushi leave the house all of sudden or don't come for the weekend. Then will get to know arnav reaction thinking wat if shyam did something to her.
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I really like Arnav's behaviour and how he treated Khushi... possessive is one thing, but domineering is another thing. I'm all for Khushi being hard on Arnav coz seriously with his behaviour, I wouldn't tolerate it personally. It's basically what he WANTS and expecting Khushi to follow it. And the act of splashing coffee on her dress, just becoz he doesn't like it?! And then expecting Khushi to be all mushy all about it?! WTH! She should have slapped him, sorry to say this, but I don't see anything funny about it. Excellent that Khushi kicked him between his legs coz he definitely deserved it. Khushi should not go easy on Arnav... and if she wants to leave RM to get away from Arnav and his ego, I'm all for it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Wow Khushi 👏👏❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteI don't know how should I feel. It's obvious that Arnav has something in his mind. Probably to protect Khushi. But my problem is he was all loving and romantic two chapters ago. But now his change has taken 360 degrees. As I said earlier I'm okay with his change. However the words and actions he uses to show Khushi that he is not the same are too harsh. "There's no us and having substitute" are too harsh when that same person was loving Khushi few days back. I didn't really enjoy the coffee spilling part. Khushi has every right to wear what she wants. And if Arnav is going to be there at the party it won't be a big issue. Because if something is wrong he will be there to help her. So he shouldn't show this much of possessiveness as he wants to show her that he has changed and wants the CEO position. I'm okay with his change. But I'm not okay with the behaviour of him. It's confusing Khushi and the reader as well. Thank you for the update.
ReplyDeleteAwesome update
ReplyDeleteThat coffee scene n the kick….marvelous…😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteIt's again interesting to note that no one commented on Khushi asking aman to hack Arnav's laptop even after Aman reminded her its against company policy. She misued her position in the company and when Arnav remined her the same and even brought his laptop as a show of transparency, she was ready to pick her fight with him.
ReplyDeleteArnav's coffee stunt was terrible but that doesn't lessen Khushi's behaviour.
Khushi is strong woman...
ReplyDeleteShe can sense he is hiding something...
