After four years

AR

Arnav received the call. It's from the finance minister of Delhi state, Mr. Aman Mathur.

Arnav(smilingly): Hello, honorable minister...

Aman(chuckling): Shut up man...

Arnav: I hope you are happy...

Aman: Of course yes... The judgment of Shashi Gupta's case came in our favor.

Arnav: Yup... Rohit Negi got seven years sentence. And Nilesh got five years as he turned an approver.

Aman: yeah... the biggest headache got cured.

Arnav: How is Rishika and Shreya?

Aman: God... don't ask about Shreya. I can console Rishika for not staying at home but Shreya. I'm even getting beaten up buddy...

Arnav(laughing): That's great... anyone should bow down in front of his princess.

Aman: Exactly...

Arnav: Come to RM when you get time.

Aman: Yeah... Rishika also wants to meet her cuisine Payal.

Arnav: make it soon.

Aman: Sure...

They disconnected the call. Arnav again got a call. It was from Rishi. He attended it and sighed hearing him.

Arnav: Which signal?

Rishi: Gandhi Nagar signal.

Arnav: Pass the phone to the inspector.

Rishi passed the phone to the inspector.

Inspector: Yes...

Arnav: Inspector, this is Arnav Singh Raizada...

Inspector: Sir, you? Who are you to this boy sir?

Arnav: He is my brother-in-law. He would have ridden the bike in curiosity sir.

Inspector: It's ok sir.... But ask him to be safe. He is just eighteen. It's not legal to ride the bike at this age...

Arnav: you are right inspector. I will take care of him. You just pass the phone...

Inspector gave the phone to Rishi.

Rishi: Haan, Jeeju...

Arnav: Go to RM. Don't use the main road.

Rishi: Yes Jeeju...

Arnav: Did your sister know that you came by bike?

Rishi: No Jeeju... please don't say her anything regarding it. She will eat us up...

Arnav: Yeah... nowadays, she is getting angry easily. You don't say anything to her.

Rishi: Sorry Jeeju, because of me, you are forced to lie...

Arnav: Hey cool. Don't think so. It happens.

Rishi: Jeeju....

Arnav: Yeah...

Rishi: When will you come?

Arnav: Why?

Rishi: What if Di caught me?

Arnav: you don't go to our room...

Rishi: Then, Di will surely catch me red-handed if I didn't go to your room to see Aarav.

Arnav: Ok... wait I will come.

Rishi waited for Arnav in the corner of the road. Arnav signaled Rishi to follow him. Rishi waited for few seconds and followed him.

RM

Ratna saw Rishi coming with Arnav.

Ratna: Rishi... where were you? Khushi was searching for you...

Arnav and Rishi spared a glance.

Ratna(whispering): Khushi checked the bike in the shed. She got to know that you go by bike.

Rishi(keeping his hands on head): Jeejuuuuuu....

Arnav: I think you shouldn't come to our room.

Rishi looked at him miserably.

Arnav: I will bring Aarav to your room, after a while.

Rishi: Ok...

Saying, he rushed to his room. Khushi's strict voice stopped him.

Khushi: Rishi, Stop.....

Rishi stood closing his eyes.

Khushi(looking at Arnav): Do you know, he again went taking the bike? That's why I didn't want you to gift him the bike for his birthday.

Arnav: He likes bike. So I gifted him.

Khushi: He is not yet nineteen Arnav. You should have waited for few more months.

Arnav: So what? See, he reached home safely...

Rishi: Haan Di... I didn't get caught in the signal.... Trust me.

Arnav rolled his eyes gritting his teeth helplessly whereas Ratna closed her eyes sighing. Rishi got stuck seeing Khushi's shocking expression. Then only he sensed that he blurts out the truth.

Khushi: Did you get caught?

Rishi looked at Arnav gulping, asking his help through his eyes.

Arnav: Khushi, he just....

Khushi: Did he get caught?

Arnav: Just in a phone call, the inspector left him.

Khushi: It's everything because of you... you are pampering him a lot Arnav.... this is the limit.

She went to her room where little Aarav is sleeping. This is what happening in RM often these days, after Arnav gifted Rishi the bike for his birthday. Khushi was not fine with the idea because she knew; Rishi won't be quite keeping the bike at home.

Rishi rushed behind her.

Rishi: Di... I'm sorry. Please don't be angry with Jeeju.

Arnav: She won't be angry with me Rishi. She is very understanding, you know?

Khushi glared at him. Arnav pleaded her by the gesture.

Khushi: You both became careless. I don't know what you will do with Aarav.

Arnav & Rishi: He is Mumma's boy...

Khushi: I hope you won't change him.

Rishi: Am I forgiven?

Arnav: Undoubtedly, don't you know, she loves you so much?

Khushi rolled her eyes. She sat on the bed making face. Arnav and Rishi sat beside her.

Rishi: I'm sorry Di. I promise. I won't touch the bike until I get a license.

Khushi nodded yes smilingly. Rishi hugged her.

Rishi: Thank you Di.

Arnav(mockingly): Rishi... I hope you will learn not to break the egg. You yourself blurt out the truth...

Rishi: Haan, Jeeju. I can't lie to Di... what to do?

He said helplessly. Arnav smiled at him. This is how Rishi always gets caught. He fails to hide the truth from Khushi.

They saw Aarav waking up from his sleep who was one year old. He smiled seeing his close to heart persons together. He sat on the bed and smiled at them. But got confused seeing them extending their hands and called him. He came to Khushi and hugged her.

Rishi(sighed): I didn't say, he is Mumma's boy?

Nest second he hoped to Arnav. Arnav kissed his cheek lovingly. Then he jumped to Rishi. Rishi stood taking him.

Rishi: Say bye...

Aarav waved his hands towards Arnav and Khushi. Rishi rushed to his room taking Aarnv with him. This is his regular routine. He gets relaxed only after playing with Aarav for a while.

Arnav circled Khushi's shoulders and pecked her cheek.

Arnav: Are you alright?

Khushi: I'm alright. I know you will take care of Rishi.

Arnav: Then why are you strict with him?

Khushi: Or else, he will take advantage.

Arnav: He is a good boy. Don't forget, my eyes will be on him.

Khushi: I know. (pause) Do you know the judgment?

Arnav (nodding yes): yeah... I had watched the news. (pause) Khushi...I want to say something. I don't know how you will react to it. Whatever, I don't want to hide it from you Khushi because it's killing me.

It was not hard for Khushi to understand what he wants to say as she knew Arnav.

Arnav(hesitatingly): Actually... it's me who trapped your parents in the computerized bungalow in Shimla. But, my intention is not to kill them. I just wanted them to know how the starving would be. And...

Khushi: I knew...

Arnav(frowning): What?

Khushi explained to him how she knows the truth. Arnav was dumbfounded... shocked... thunderstruck... what not?

Khushi: I knew you Arnav. I don't want you to talk about it. I have forgotten about it. You too just forget.

She said casually and stood from the bed to leave the room. Arnav clutched her hand and looked at her with unnamed expression.

Arnav: Do you trust me to this extent Khushi?

Khushi: Don't you know?

Arnav hugged her tightly with teary eyes. Khushi caressed his back smilingly.

Arnav: Khushi I don't know what to say. I have no words to say anything Khushi. I was dying thinking about your reaction. You have no idea how much I got relieved. I'm the luckiest person in the world Khushi. You made me feel so special. I love you... I love you so much.

Khushi: I know. And I too love you so much.

Arnav: Let Aarav sleep with Rishi tonight.

Khushi: Why?

Arnav: After Aarav's birth, you have forgotten me totally.

Khushi: So?

Arnav: I would like to make you remember me.

Khushi: Don't wake up the lioness inside me. You will repent.

Arnav: Ohh really? Let see.

Khushi: It's almost one year; you are keeping a distance from me.

Arnav: because you had cesarean. Then how did I dare to touch you?

Arnav removed his phone and dilled Rishi.

Rishi: Yes Jeeju...

Arnav: What is Aarav doing?

Rishi: He had milk and I'm taking him to the park. We will be late Jeeju.

Arnav looked at Khushi with naughty smirk.

Arnav: Ok...

He cut the call smilingly. Khushi frowned seeing him closing the door.

Khushi: What are you doing?

Arnav: Rishi took Aarav to the park.

Khushi nodded NO smilingly.

Arnav: Do you know, there is an understanding wave between I and Rishi.

Khushi chuckled at him. Arnav hugged her passionately. They have enough time to spend together. Arnav knew Rishi won't come back soon because there is an understanding wave between them.

The End.
