Part 33

Mishra's face went pale seeing his friend Suman Mathur at his house. Suman Mathur folded his hands over his chest, seeing his "Heart Patient" friend eating verity of non-vegetarian food. His face was like, "Heart patient eat these kind of food?" Mishra bowed down, couldn't face Suman Mathur's intensive gaze.

Suman(folding his hands): I don't know a heart patient eat heavy food like you do.

Mishra was silent. Suman glared at him.

Suman: Is everything looking funny?

Mishra(sighing): Not at all. (pause)It's just for a BET.

Suman (frowning): Bet?

Mishra: yes. I was depressed as you were not getting time to meet me. Aman knew that. Whenever I say, "you are not showing interest to meet me". Aman consoles, "I'm holding a special place in your heart. You will definitely come to meet me if needed". I just want to see that before I die yaar. Do you know, how happy I was when you came to meet me?

Suman: But why did you admit in the hospital?

Mishra: Aman asked me to do that. So, you will believe us.

Suman(smirking): But you loss the BET.

Mishra: I was happy to loss the bet.

He smiled.

So, as expected, Aman used this man without his knowledge. Well...

Suman: ok I'm leaving.

Mishra: Hey buddy, I'm really sorry yaar. I just...

Suman: I know, these all common in this age. Your sons are in abroad. Your daughter is busy in their career. so it's obvious to think that you have no one.

Mishra became emotional.

Mishra: I really owe to Aman, he visits me often you know.

Suman raised his brows in amazement.

Suman: Really?

Mishra(emotionally): yup. You got very good son.

Suman: Relax.

Mishra: Have lunch with me than only I relax.

Suman(chuckled): my pleasure.

The friends started having lunch chitchatting. But Suman's thoughts where not completely on the dinning. Many things were roaming in his mind about Aman. He is visiting his friend often which is surely appreciated. Though he used this man for his benefit he made this man happy. He had hit two mangos in one stone. He felt proud of his son. And he got confident that Aman won't be wrong.

Mathur Villa

Aman stopped seeing his father entering home, who was descending stairs. They have meeting in their party house.

Aman: Dad, we are supposed to be in our party office to attend a meeting.

Suman: I post ponded the meeting.

Aman: But why dad?

Suman: I went to meet Mishra today. (which made Aman nervous) when I went to his house, he was eating verity of non-veg food. (he paused and read Aman's face) Do you think, it's good for a "heart patient"?

Aman was silent, looking down.

Suman: Karan met me in the Assembly complex today morning and told everything that what you did for you friend.

Aman looked at him bewildered.

Suman: So, you took me to the hospital, by using Mishra, to help your friend to meet his girlfriend......right?

Aman: I'm sorry Dad... I just want to...

Suman (cutting him): .....help Arnav. (pause) As it's related to Karan Negi, didn't you feel to share with me?

Aman: I don't know, how you will react on it Dad.

Suman: It's not easy like what you think. Not that you are not capable to stand against Karan. In my thirty years of political experience, I goy to know him very well. Karan will never let his proud go down.

Aman: I'm not trying to put him down but helping Arnav to get Khushi Dad.

Suman: Guptas and Raizadas are rivals...

Aman: Apart from that, they love each other Dad.

Suman: If it is so, I'm glad. But... if Arnav is doing this, only for his rivalry on Guptas then I will be the worst person on the Earth. Because, it's an unforgivable sin to use a girl as bait.

Aman: Do you think, I will encourage such a person?

Suman: Friendship can do anything, (pause) without analysing. I don't want you to do the mistake.

Aman: No Dad. I know Arnav. He loves Khushi very much.

Suman: Shashi and Karan fixed her marriage with Rohit. What about that?

Aman (calmly): It won't happen.

Suman(raising his eye brows): So, you already have planned?

Aman nodded yes.

Suman: According to reports, nearing Khushi Gupta is not that easy. Shashi Gupta made his house well secured. You can't enter GH. Then how will you meet her?

Aman: Engagement venue...

Suman: Do you know, no one will be allowed inside the marriage hall without invitation?

Aman: I have arranged for it. I will get the invitation tomorrow.

Suman: No need.

He removed the invitation from the file and extended it to Aman.

Aman surprised seeing that.

Suman (smirking): Karan invited me. but...

Aman: will you go?

Suman: Of course. After all, the great Karan Negi has invited me.

Aman: But, Arnav doesn't want us to face problem.

Suman: Why?

Aman: Because, it may affect us directly Dad.

Suman(amazed): Will he handle the situation alone?

Aman: No... I will be with him but I won't enter the venue.

Suman: Seems like, you guys are well prepared for the situation.

Aman: we knew, how powerful Karna and Shashi are.

Suman: Well... Anyways, I have to attend the party. I can't ignore Karan's invitation. After all he is my Co-politician. I have to respect him. And I want to see his face when you guys finishes your job successfully.(he chuckled) Hope you guys will use my ENTRY effectively.

He smirked. Aman hugged his father emotionally.

Aman: Thank you dad.

Suman: Always.

Marriage Venue

"Venus Mahal" is the most expensive hall in Delhi. It shined flauntingly like, Shashi and Karan. All the VVPIs of India were being gathered in the hall. Shashi Gupta and Karan Negi were busy greeting guests.

The only soul who was in extreme fright was Khushi. She was not at all in the mood to get ready. How could she, when she very well knows that her life is taking a worst turn? The Beautician who assigned to make her up got fed up hearing her continues NO. She got ready simply.

Khushi was called to the main hall where all the VIPs were waiting. She came bowing down. Suddenly, her heart started beating faster as she felt something very familiar. Her lips delivered "ARNAV" automatically. 

She ran her eyes all over the hall while moving towards the stage, where Shashi Gupta, Garima, Karan Negi and Rohit Negi were waiting. People welcomed Khushi by putting their hands together.

Khushi stood beside Garima nervously. She felt something in her heart. It was definitely not a pleasant one. Unknown fear occupied her mind. She raised her head and got stuck seeing the person who owned her heart... ARNAV. 

Her hands started shivering as the glare which she received from him scared her like ever before. She never had seen such a daggered look from Arnav. That "look" told her, how raged he is.

Seeing Khushi's nervousness, Shashi Gupta looked at the direction. But he didn't find anyone. He shrugged off, as he didn't think of Arnav's presence there. Of course, Khushi must be upset. It's obvious. She has to. He supposed.

Shashi: Ladies and Gentlemen... this is an epic moment of our lives. Guptas and Negis are tying an official knot today. I'm so proud and happy to give my daughter Khushi's hand to Rohit Negi.

He looked at Karan.

Karan: Khushi and Rohit are going to start "our relationship journey" by exchanging RINGS. Give your applause.

Garima brought Khushi to the centre stage and made her stand beside Rohit. Garima extended a ring to Khushi and gestured her to wear it on Rohit's finger. Khushi gulped hard and did that.

This is Rohit's turn. He stopped seeing another ring on her left hand index finger. The same ring; which Arnav made her wear on her birthday, saying, you are my "half wife".

Garima: One minute...

Khushi's eyes brimmed while Garima tried to pull the ring out, seeing Arnav's ring being removed. It was so tight. Garima didn't care about her pain and pulled it, putting her power. Khushi lifted her head. Her facial expression changed, seeing Arnav. His questioning eyes killed her. "Are you ready to replace my ring?" Tears slipped from her eyes.

Seeing Khushi's teary eyes...

Karan: it's ok Garimaji. We will CUT it later. Rohit will put it in her right hand.

Rohit nodded yes and inserted the ring in her right hand index finger with sky-high applause. Shashi and Karan hugged each other to celebrate their victory, as if everything got over.

People started wishing them. Shashi, Karna, Garima and Rohit got busy treating their respective friends.

Khushi looked at the place where Arnav was standing but he was not there. Why he came? For what he is here? Where is he? What he is up to? Lot of questions hit her mind. She went to the corner table and sat on the chair.

Suddenly, the hall got heated up. Everyone started gossiping. Shashi's eye went wide open, seeing Suman Mathur getting down from the car. He just forgot Karan and ran towards him to welcome him. Without any choice left Karan, Rohit and Garima ran behind him and all the people in the hall as well.

Shashi: Welcome Sir, I really proud to have you here.

Suman: How could I neglect my friend Karan's invitation?

Shashi looked at Karan surprisingly.

Karan: I'm glad to be respected by the great Suman Mathur.

Suman: Haha... I'm glad to be part of your HAPPINESS.

Shashi: Please come in sir...

In the meanwhile....

Khushi was sitting at the corner table being left alone. She thought to go out, to welcome Suman. That's when, a bearer came with drinks tray and gave it to her. She nodded no. Next second, he kept a chit in front of her and put the drinks glass on it. Gesturing her to read, he left the place.

Khushi thought, it was from Arnav. she took the chit hurriedly and opened it. Her heart skipped its beat reading the chit.

"COME TO THE PARKING LOT ALONE, THROUGH THE BACK DOOR, IF YOU WANT YOUR BROTHER TO BE ALIVE"

She got panicked. She thought that chit was from Arnav. But seems like, it was from someone. Someone should have kidnapped Rishi. They should have done this for money. But, if it is for money, why they call her? What should she do now? Will she tell Shashi? She looked at the empty hall. What if they do something to Rishi, seing her complaining to Shashi? Anything can happen in a second... she gulped.

She composed herself thinking about Arnav's presence. It gave her courage. Arnav is here. Yes... He will help her to rescue Rishi for sure. He won't let anything BAD happen to Rishi. I loves Rishi a lot. It may help him to get goodwill from Shashi Gupta as well. She started heading towards the parking through the back door... ALONE.

To be continued........

Today's inkitt update

Effect of plan "B"

Though Khushi came to the parking lot for Rishi she searched for Arnav. She sensed someone is standing behind her. She turned around and saw Arnav. Before she said anything, Arnav pulled her hand and looked at the ring which was worn by Rohit. His face was spitting extreme anger. He looked at her face who was regretting badly. He pulled the ring off her finger and threw it away. Khushi shocked to the core and looked at the flying Ring horribly.
