36 Doubt over Doubt
Part 36 Doubt over Doubt
Arnav stood getting thunder stuck. The smell from his pillow was Khushi's hair oil smell or what? Or does someone from his family uses the same oil? But, the much he knew, no one from his family used to apply hair oil on their hair.
Khushi pulled her head and again hissed. That brought him to reality.
"Wait..." he slowly removed her hair from his shirt button.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you coming..." she said hesitatingly.
Arnav nodded his head.
"Hari Prakaaaaash..." Arnav shouted, making Khushi jerk.
HP rushed out of the kitchen.
"Come to my room" he walked to his room all the way looking at Khushi.
Shyam came to the living room, hearing Arnav's high tone of voice, and followed them.
Coming to his room, Arnav looked at HP.
"Jee Arnav Baba?"
Taking his pillow, Arnav handed it to HP.
"What smell is this?" Arnav asked.
HP smiled inwardly as his trick worked he supposed. HP inhaled it and said,
"Washing soap smell"
Taking another pillow, he extended it but didn't give it to HP.
"And this one?"
HP inhaled it and nodded his head.
"I don't know..."
"But, I know..."
HP got stuck, like, REALLY?
"This is Khushi's hair oil smell."
"Oh... but how do you know?"
"Just now, I got to know that when she banged on me"
"Oh..."
"How this pillow smells the same? Did she use my pillow?"
HP's answer shocked Arnav to the core.
"No, Arnav Baba... she stayed in your room..."
"Wahaaat? Khushi stayed in my room?"
Before HP said anything, Shyam who followed them did.
"For one day... she stayed in your room Sale Sahib"
Arnav frowned. HP was annoyed hearing that.
"Actually, the guest room had a drainage problem. That was why we made her stay here" Shaym coped.
Arnav shrank his eyes with deep thought.
"She is our guest after all..." Shyam added.
"But she is Lavanya's friend. Instead of making her stay in Lavanya's room, why did you guys make her stay in my room?" he asked the million-dollar question.
Shyam was thunder stuck. How did he forget she was Lavanya's friend?
"Don't you know, Lavanya is a privacy freak? That's why we asked her to shift to your room"
Arnav was not satisfied with his answer. He thought he was missing something. He knew his family. They knew very well he won't like it if anyone use his things. Then how could they let a girl who was completely a stranger to the family stay in his room? So what if it was for one day?
"Hari Prakash, remove the pillow cover," Shyam said.
"That's ok... you go" Arnav said sternly.
"No, Sale Sahib..."
"I want to take bath. I feel uneasy"
Shyam nodded ok. Both of them came out of the room.
Taking a towel, Arnav walked to the washroom. Shyam waited for him to lock the door and glared at HP.
"Didn't I ask you to remove all Khushi's things from Arnav's room?"
"Of course, I removed all Khushi Bhabi's things right away"
"Then why didn't you remove the pillow cover?"
"Just the previous day only Khushi Bhabi changed it. That's why..."
"Why did you tell Arnav that Khushi stayed here?"
"What else could I say when he got to know the truth?"
"You should have said, I don't know"
"I will tell him I DON'T KNOW from here on," HP said like a good boy.
Shyam left the place irritatingly. HP followed him controlling his winning smirk. Finally, Arnav had little doubt about Khushi's presence in this house.
In the meanwhile,
Aman was waiting for Lavanya outside RM. She came to him smilingly.
"Why did you call me, Aman?"
"How much do you love me?"
"What question is this, Aman? Don't you know how much I love you?"
"Ok... how much do you TRUST me?"
"I love you that means I TRUST you as much as I love you"
"What will you do if anyone tells you that I and Khushi have a relationship?"
"I will kill that B*****" she said gritting her teeth.
"Will you be strong in your stand?"
"Why are you asking such an idiotic question?"
"Someone may try to fill your ears that way... that's why"
Lavanya understood that he was talking about Shyam. Yet, she asked.
"Whom are you talking about?"
"Let it be anyone, I want you to trust me"
"I trust you"
That was when Aman got a call on his mobile. He saw the name HP flashing. Aman attended it.
"Aman, Baba..."
"tell me"
"I have sowed a doubt in Arnav Baba's heart"
"How?"
HP told him what happened a few minutes ago. Aman chuckled.
"You had done a very good job. Keep updating"
"Sure..." HP disconnected the call.
Aman thought for a while, recalling what HP just told him.
"I want you to do one thing for me, Lavanya"
"I will do anything for you"
"Listen to me..."
Lavanya nodded yes. Aman narrated what she had to do. Lavanya agreed to it without a single question.
"Done"
"Tell me his reaction"
"Ok"
Lavanya went back to RM and Aman left the place.
In the meantime,
Arnav came to the washroom with confusion. Whatever Shyam told him didn't suit the situation. He removed his clothes and stood under the shower. He started applying soap and his hands got stuck when he touched his shoulder. He felt his skin rough at the particular place. Turning towards the mirror, he gave a look, and his eyes shank, seeing a BITE mark. He walked close to the mirror and caressed the mark.
"Bite mark? But how? Who bit me? Why should anyone bite me when I was in the coma?" He stood looking at the mark.
"Why do I think something weird in my mind? Why does everything seem different? Am I missing anything? Whom I could ask? What if anyone knows nothing about it? I was in the hospital then how do they know? Something wrong must have happened in the hospital... may be..." Arnav thought.
Finishing his bath, he came out, dressing up.
Arnav came to Anjali's room. She smiled at him. Arnav walked in.
"Chotte, do you want something?"
"Nothing, Di... where is Jeejaji?"
"He just went to meet his client"
"Oh... I just came here to know about my medical condition"
"You are alright, Chotte"
"Doesn't the doctor give any instructions?"
"He asked us to take care of you. And you, don't stress yourself."
"I should have faced heavy blood lose right?"
"You did..."
Cutting her,
"I lost blood... I was in come and lived with medical support. Yet, why won't I feel tired but feel fit and fine? How?"
Anjali was speechless.
"Is the medical field improved that much?"
Anjali caught his point.
"Haan, Chotte... it improved unimaginably"
"Where did you see me after the accident? Who admitted me to the hospital?"
"Aman admitted you to the hospital. He reached the place with your men and they ran from the place seeing Aman. We are broken down when we saw you in the ICU"
"Leave it, Di... Actually, I came to tell you that I would like to go to the office"
"Whaaaaat? No way... you are just recovered..."
"I recovered, Di"
"No Chotte... I won't allow you to go to the office soon."
"Di..."
"Stay at home for at last one week..."
"One week...? Di, please..."
"I have been arranging a pooja. You can go to the office after that... please please..."
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Diiii"
"Please Chotte..."
"When is the pooja?"
"In two days"
"Ok... I will go to the office after the pooja"
Anjali nodded ok cheerfully.
Arnav came out of the room. he wanted to ask Anjali about the BITE mark. yet, he didn't want to make her guilty. His mind whirled in many thoughts. Nothing seemed right for him. He saw Khushi and Lavanya sitting in the living room. Of course, Lavanya was waiting for Arnav to come out of the room to implement what Aman wanted her to do. She saw him coming. She turned towards Khushi.
"Khushi, please come to my room and stay with me."
Khushi looked at her wondering.
"Why Lavanya?"
"We NEVER got a CHANCE to be together before. That's why... Come to my room, Khushi" Lavanya intentionally said that Arnav to hear.
"I too wanted to be with you, Lavi but what to do, our circumstance was like that"
"But now, you are free... I mean, instead of staying in the guest room, stay with me in my room"
"Ok, ok, don't plead... I will stay in your room today"
"Thank you, sweetheart" Lavanya hugged her.
Arnav was standing there listening to their talks. Didn't Shyam say Lavanya was a privacy freak? That was why they made Khushi stay in his room. But, Lavanya's statement was completely conflicting with Shyam's... she said they never got a chance to be together... Nani said Khushi was staying in RM for one month. Then why didn't they get a chance to be together? Lavanya could have taken Khushi to her room instead of making her stay in my room when the drainage problem arose. He was confused. Something was terribly wrong.
To be continued...
