Chapter 44
Arnav’s POV
I wake up at the noise around me. It’s Akash’s voice and then NK’s. The moment I open my eyes, I see them surrounding my bed.
“What… what are you two doing here?” I ask curiously to my brothers.
“Bhai. Where is Khushi Bhabhi?” Akash queries.
I look at the other side of the bed. She is not here.
“What time is it? She must be down. Why?”
“Bhai it’s 10:00 in the morning and we have looked for her almost everywhere in Sheesh Mahal, but we can’t find her.”
The moment they say this I am alarmed.
“What? How the heck is that possible? We just slept together last night. Where can she go?”
They both stare at my attire and that’s when I realize I am wearing a black sherwani with some strange looking chain around my neck.
“What the hell am I wearing?”
Akash and NK swallow nervously.
“Bhai, we are worried that something has happened to Khushi Bhabhi.. Last night we had spoken to her on call and she told us you were missing in the room and she will look for you. That was around 03:00 am and since then we couldn’t contact her again. We checked with the family too and none of them know where she is.”
“Wait a second.. Khushi said I was missing? Where will I go? I was right here on the bed with her.”
“In these clothes?” NK queries and that zips my lips.
“No. I.. I don’t know why I am wearing this. I was in my normal night suit.”
“God!!” Akash yells in anger. “That must be Chandrika then. She must have hypnotized you and god knows what happened last night between you and Bhabhi that now she is missing.”
What? I did something to Khushi?
“I can’t hurt her, Akash. You know that.” I shout back.
“You can’t but Chandrika can” NK rebukes. “And do hell with her but we have to find Bhabhi.”
He is right.
“Lets go..” I am about to leave the room in the same clothes but they stop me.
“Bhai, you please change these clothes first and until then me and Akash will speak to her father to know if she is there with him.”
I agree and quickly rush to the bathroom. It takes me hardly a few minutes to change but I am shivering. What happened last night? Why don’t I remember anything? Did I hurt her? Damn! If I did that, I will never forgive myself. I never believed much in all these black magic nor the supreme power like Devi Maiyaa whose Khushi is a great devotee of but now that she is missing, I pray to her Devi Maiyaa to help me find her.
We look for Khushi everywhere in Sheesh Mahal again. In fact, I go to the basement too with NK and Akash but nothing is suspicious down there. We call out her name in case she is hiding or in danger here but no response.
“Call the police, Akash. And check the damn CCTV cameras first, they should give us some hint.” I bark.
“Bhai someone had turned off the CCTV cameras of Sheesh Mahal last night. We already checked that and we have no idea who did it.”
“It can’t be Mohan either,” NK sighs. “We were already following him outside Sheesh Mahal where he dodged us.
“Mohan?” I snap. “Our driver Mohan?”
NK and Akash nod.
“He is Chandrika’s son,” NK informs.
What the hell is happening? But all that can be ignored for now. Finding Khushi is important.
“Akash, I don’t know what’s going on but I need a full update on this but before that we have to find Khushi. Call the Police.”
“On it, Bhai.”
He is about to leave when Daadi stops him.
“No one will call the Police. We have to find her ourselves.” Daadi instructs.
“What?” I scowl. “Daadi, my wife is missing and you don’t want me to call the police?”
“No, Arnav. And that’s because I am worried if they suspect you to be the reason why she is suddenly missing. You don’t remember anything that happened last night and how you got into those black clothes. Did you see the basement? Feels like someone was there at night there doing some kind of spell ritual.”
I am shocked.
“You mean, I was the one who doing something in the basement, I turned off the CCTV cameras and I hurt my wife?”
“It’s my suspicion, Arnav, don’t take me wrong. We know Chandrika is controlling you and she might have done something to hurt Khushi through you. If we involve the police, things wont end up good for you.”
“I don’t care if that happens daadi. I want my wife safe and back. And if I am the reason behind her missing today then I have to be punished.”
“Bhai, don’t. Daadi is right. Lets find Khushi Bhabhi ourselves for now and if we fail we can think what to do next.”
I am about to argue but once again the need to find my wife takes over than debating with my family right now.
“Lets look at every nook and corner of this palace. She has to be here.” I say strongly and we all disperse.
After almost a search for another hour, I reach the backyard of Sheesh Mahal.
“Khushi…” I call her out again but no luck.
I am about to turn away and check the other side when my gaze falls on the well. Something draws me to it. I remember Khushi sharing her premonition with me about me dragging her and pushing her inside a well. Did I do that? Last night? Damn!!!
I am about to run for it when someone holds my hand, stopping me.
“Chotte? Where are you going?”
It’s di. She too has been actively looking for Khushi since morning.
“Di.. I have to check the well too. What if.. she…”
“I have checked it..” she replies. “Twice in fact and she isn’t here. Lets go check the front area of Sheesh Mahal.”
She drags me away.
“Di, but whats the harm if I check once?”
“You don’t trust me?” she asks and then tears spring in her eyes. “We all are worried for her, Chotte. And I have a feeling she is safe.. Maybe she has gone to her father’s place. Did anyone check that?”
“Akash did..” I say, hurrying my steps towards the palace again with Di. “I will call up her friend Payal and ask.”
Di nods and leaves inside while I grab my phone and call Payal. Every single second in not finding my wife is giving me negative vibes. What if I am really the reason of she going missing? I pray to Devi Maiyaa that she is safe. I know Khushi had immense trust on Devi Maiyaa and no matter what she will always protect her.
To be Continued
Where is Khushi? You will know it in next chapter. And the lunar eclipse is nearing in the story.. Who will save Arnav and the Raizada family now from the black spell of Chandrika?
NEXT PART
Note: I will be posting the next updates on this blog not before Wednesday (13th July). My upcoming book “Love by Chance” will be releasing this week so it needs some of time there. Hope you understand. Thank you.
Oh come on arnav go check the well
ReplyDeleteAwesome Update. Arnav came to know he had hurt Khushi though Akash and that Chandrika hypnotized him. Arnav is already feeling guilty he loves Khushi so much yet he had hurt her. Though he don't believe in God but still prayed for Khushi. That proves his love. Arnav also came to know about Mohan being Chandrika's son. Arnav was hypnotized by Chandrika so he hurt Khushi. Daadi is worried for Arnav but Arnav's love for Khushi is amazing. He is willing to get punishment. Anjali is the evil one who stop Arnav from searching Khushi and lied to him that she had check when she is the one who pushed Khushi in the well and did drama infront of Arnav. Hope Khushi is safe. What's Anjali 's connection with Chandrika. Also Lunar eclipse is nearing and danger is increasing. Only Khushi can save the Raizada family. Thanks for the Update😍😍
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the next update.
ReplyDeleteI hope Khushi is safe . I am sure Arnav will find her or Khushi might find some escape route from the well her Devi maiyaa will definitely guide her. But in the past it was Arnav who pushed Khushi in the well maybe to save her from Chandrika or Anjali. If Arnav remember something from the past he will definitely find Khushi out. Khushi is the one who will save Arnav and the family.
ReplyDeleteOmg di ! Too many things were happening. Is Anjali was also controlled by chandrika!
ReplyDeleteIt's not you arnav but your di.
ReplyDeleteHope khushi get safe soon
This is getting very interesting. Could it be that Anjali is not the bad one but is pretending to keep Kushi safe from Chandrika?? I am not sure what to think Madhu eagerly waiting for the next update. Fiddy
ReplyDeleteI am also thinking the same
DeleteVery nice update...we have to wait a whole week to get another update....
ReplyDeleteDude nothing really happed in this one. Pretty much just extending the plot now
ReplyDeleteI think Sheetal or payal got a hint that anjali is the culprit and they saved khushi from well ..
ReplyDeleteHopefully khushi is safe.. is there Amy new character entering into the story last moment..
Cliff hanger continued. The wait shall be longer now! Best wishes for the new book! Cya next week!
ReplyDelete. Cheers
It seems anjali is also fully in control of chandrika.. it means she have deliberately taken devi maiyya locket chain from Khushi and now she is not allowing Arnav to go near the well to search his wife.. hope Arnav comes back to check the well.. amazing and such an intriguing update.. loved it.. Best wishes for your new book Madhu..
ReplyDeletePlzz show khushi wareabouts
ReplyDeleteSuperb update. Anjali playing a role very well by diverting Arnav. Hmmm Arnav do believe your instinct. Go and check the well.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, pooja ki thali with her dam of tears and never ending emotional blackmailing. Uffff!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been few hours now, since Khushi had been pushed into the well….. she might be dead if she wasn’t saved for this long…. So my guess is someone must have saved her…. I think it could be Sheetal with the help of someone else….
ReplyDeleteOmg , now anjali too 😒 hope khushi comes out safe n sound ....bosm is an amazing series ...I wish ipkknd team reads ur stories and creates a web series...
ReplyDeleteFirse mystery! Title should be changed to Mysteries of sheesh mahal! Now what is anjalis connection with chandrika? I did doubt her when khushi stumbled with her at the backyard vo bi adhi rat ko even khushi would have doubted her had she not been running away from chandrika! Hope khushi doesnt get injured much! You are a wonderful writer! Thanku for the updates
ReplyDeleteAmazing update thank you. Waiting patiently
ReplyDeleteAwesome written omg good twists… amila
ReplyDeleteWonderful fabulous update dear
ReplyDeleteAwesome story.. These days I am not able to read on time as Asli Duneya is very busy
ReplyDeleteI hope Sheetal has saved Khushi cause if she's still in the well she must be dead by now.. short update but better something than nothing.. please update the next part soon
ReplyDeleteNothing really happened in this chapter. It’s just a filling chapter. Someone must save khushi otherwise she will die. We didn’t know whether she fell in to the well. I feel like this storyline is bit dragged. Story has come to the part 44 means we need to have one mystery opened.
