Chapter 41---staying strong

He opened broke the door with his might and all his strenght, and walked out of the room, he searched the house and she wasn't there, he balled his hands in a fist and banged it hard on the wall,

Shyam: shit!! How can I let her get away, (he cursed himself), no I can't let her go, she can't leave me, I will not let this happen, arnav singh raizada cannot marry her, she is mine, and only mine, (he said with fire in his eyes)I must go out and find her, she must have not gone far

Saying this he left to find khushi,

Meanwhile, arnav who had just spoken to her, now was all geared up and charged up, he informed James and told him to get onto tracking the cell phone, he quickly washed his tired face and wore a set of new clothes, and took off straight to the police station, as he entered the cabin James was sitting with the computer and a tracking device, he had a set of bulky head phones on his ears

Arnav: any news where is she

James: we are trying to locate it, I hope you have told her to keep the phone on

Arnav nodded, a few seconds later a loud beeping noise started to play, and round raidar signals started to appear on the computer screen, the man on the computer said

Man: we have traced it,

Arnav and James gave him the attention,

Man: she is on the out skirts of west London, in a construction site, the road is 9 avenue cherry line street,

Arnav and James made there way quick, one grabbed the car keys and the other took down the address, and they took off to find khushi,

Khushi on the other hand was sitting in the pipe, it had now been two hours, she tried to control herself and remain strong, she had full faith in arnav, and she knew that he would find her, it had been half an hour since they spoke, and she was feeling much more calmer, knowing that he was coming to get her, but her calmness didn't remain for long, she suddenly heard a huge THUD!!! It felt like something fell, her breath picked up and she was now worried, what if it was shyam, she could feel someone was here, she prayed that it wasn't him, she peeked her head out carefully, to make sure no one would see her, and to her bad luck, it was him, he was at the construction site, her chest heaved with fear,

Luckily there were lots of objects covering her, and so he could not see her easily, though it was difficult she tried to stay calm and think level headed, she knew what she had to do, she needed to stay really quite, so that he felt that no one was here and he would leave, so she stuck to the pipe and stayed very still so he wouldn't know,

Shyam looked around the construction site, he climbed up the floors and checked each floor thoroughly, he checked each crane, and he checked the bushes that were growing nearby he even checked the cement barrels, he was walking towards the pipe, khushi realized she quickly got out of the pipe and hid behind the bushes, as shyam approached the pipe he found it empty, he became frustrated and annoyed and raked his hands on his head, as he did he saw a small purple color piece of cloth lying in the pipe, and in an instance he knew that she was here, he smiled at the purple clothe and feeling happy, and said

Shyam: khushiji I know you're here come out

Khushi got scared and started to breath faster, and faster, she was now at a state of panic, she quickly dialed arnav,

Arnav :hello khushi I am coming to, don't worry

Khushi: (breathing hard) arnav he is here he knows I am here, arnav come fast (she was crying)

Arnav: (his eyes shot up and he said) don't worry, I am on my way, just stay calm and go to him

Khushi: (shocked) what !!

Arnav: khushi go to him and tell him you will marry him

Khushi: (angry) what arnav, no whats wrong with you

Arnav: khushi listen to me please, just do it,

Khushi: but why and how could you ask me to do that

Arnav: khushi, I am reaching you in 10 minutes, look all I am asking you to do is stall him that's it, if you don't listen to him he will hurt you, stall him and keep him there I have the police with me, khushi trust me

Khushi: arnav ok I will do this on one condition

Arnav: what

Khushi: don't disconnect the phone please, stay with me on the line,

Arnav: ok khushi, now go

While khushi was going out arnav held the line and asked James to hurry, James made a call to the nearby police station to be ready, and then he pressed the accelerator and the speedometer touched 150

Back at constructions site khushi came out of the bushes to face shyam, as she walked towards him, she stopped some inches away from him,

Shyam: khushiji I told you running away from me makes no sense, I am going to find you eventually

Khushi stood there calm listening to him and then in a soft voice said

Khushi: if I marry you, will you keep me happy

Shyam: (on hearing her looked at her and answered with excitement) off corse khushi ji I will take care of you and keep you happy, I promise you a life time of happiness

Khushi: what guarantee do I have of that?

Shyam: what guarantee do you want

Khushi: promise me, that till we don't get married you will not touch me,

Shyam: (regretting) sorry khushiji I promise I won't touch you, (now realizing) did you just say we will get married

Khushi: (expressionless) yes shyam we will,

Shyam: oh khsuhiji, I am so excited (he said happily)I cant believe you agreed

Khushi: but shyam what about arnav

Shyam: you don't have to worry about that, I will take care of it

And then right there from behind khushi he came out and answered

voice: how, (ASR tune) how do you plan to take care of me
