Chapter 7: The Kidnapper

Seeing his tense look, Khushi smiled.. she definitely will get her baby out of this loo by any means..

Khushi: Ooohh.. you don’t know Mr Khadoos Raizada! Just too bad.. Don’t worry I’ll give you a hint!

And she began humming..

Khushi: Boom Clap, Boom D’Clap, D’Clap... Boom Boom Clap, Boom D’Clap D’Clap...

Khushi took out her ipod from her bag and stood from her seat.. She winked at Arnav and disappeared to the backside of the craft.. Seconds later she came back and Arnav turned his uninterested gaze away. Khushi smiled mischievously and gave a thumbs up to the hostess... As she got the signal, the hostess pushed on the play button and increased the volume of the loudspeakers of the plane.. The music which seemed like a torture to Arnav, was actually an excitement for Khushi.. and she began clapping and singing with the music like she always did in her room alone or when she forced all the staffs of her house to join in her dance... And today seems like she wants someone else to join in the merry...

Boom Clap Boom de Clap de Clap 
Boom Boom Clap Boom de Clap de Clap 
Boom Boom Clap Boom de Clap de Clap 
Boom Boom Clap Boom de Clap de Clap 

Try it with me, here we go

She raised her eyelids and looked smilingly towards Arnav as she clapped loudly..

Boom Boom Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap
(Whoah oh oh)
(That's right)
Boom Boom Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap
(Whoah oh oh)
Boom Boom Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap
Boom Boom Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap

She took a water bottle from the food tray and held it as her mic..  and began singing while Arnav lifted his eyes towards her..

1,2,3 Everybody come on off your seats

She winked at him

I'm gonna tell you about a beat
That's gonna make you move your feet

She began walking towards him while singing..

I'll give the Bar B Q
Show and tell you how to move

She held his collar without fear and forced him to stood from his seat as she ignored his angry daggers..

If you're five or eighty-two

She dragged him to the center.. and the two hostess looked at each other, shocked at the guts of the girl.

This is something you can do

She threw the bottle away and left his collar... And she started to follow the steps of the lyrics..

Pop it, lock it, polka dot it
Country fivi'n, hip hop it
Put your hawk in the sky
Move side to side
Jump to the left, stick it, glide

Arnav nodded in disbelief and turned away but Khushi held his arms and danced around him...

Zig zag cross the floor
Shuffle in diagonal
When the drums hit hand on your hips
One footed 180 twist

And then a zig zag, step, slide
Leaning left, clap three times
Shake it out, head to toe
Throw it all together, that's how we roll

She pledged to him sweetly... innocently... and then forcefully.. but nothing could brought him to do the steps with her.

Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Throw it all together, that's how we roll

Arnav shrugged her off and got back to his seat furiously..

We get to four, five, six
And you're feeling busted
But it's not time to quit
Practice makes you perfect

She went to his seat and did the steps in front of him..

Pop it, lock itk, polka dot it
Country fivi'n, hip hop it
Put your hawk in the sky

Move side to side
Jump to the left, stick it, glide

Zig zag cross the floor
Shuffle in diagonal
When the drums hit hand on your hips
One footed 180 twist

And then a zig zag, step, slide
Leaning left, clap three times
Shake it out, head to toe
Throw it all together, that's how we roll

She begged him for a few steps only...

Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)

She got angry as he ignored her...

Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)

She sat on his legs... and looked at him angrily

Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)

She moved away from him and rushed to the hiding hostess..

Throw it all together, that's how we roll

She forced the hostess to come out.. They were shocked and turned their eyes to the angry glare of their boss..

Boom de Clap de Clap, Boom Boom Clap
Come on, here we go!
Boom Boom Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap
Boom Boom Clap, Boom de Clap

The hostess stared at Khushi doing the steps.. and tried hard to stop their feet to move alongside her..

Pop it, lock itk, polka dot it
Country fivi'n, hip hop it
Put your hawk in the sky
Move side to side
Jump to the left, stick it, glide

Zig zag cross the floor
Shuffle in diagonal
When the drums hit hand on your hips
One footed 180 twist

She held the hostesses arms and forced them to do the steps..

And then a zig zag, step, slide
Leaning left, clap three times
Shake it out, head to toe
Throw it all together, that's how we roll

Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Throw it all together, that's how we roll

Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Do the Hoedown (Throwdown)
Throw it all together, that's how we roll

By the end the hostesses forgot about Arnav and clapped and sang with Khushi..

Boom de Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap
Boom de Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap
Boom de Clap, Boom de Clap de Clap
Throw it all together, that's how we roll

And as the music ended.. the three girls laughed together in excitement.. when suddenly...

ASR (yelling): Stop it.. that’s enough..

All three turned to him shocked.. While Khushi was angry at his reaction, the hostesses feared for their job.. Arnav stood and walked up to his staff.. and said angrily..

ASR: You! Better find another job when we land in London... Get lost!

The hostesses lowered their eyes and stepped away without a word.. Arnav turned to Khushi but before he could say a word, Khushi yelled at him furiously...

Khushi: You are just a Selfish.. Arrogant.. Heartless.. Rich.. BASTARD!

Arnav looked at her fumingly and turned away. Khushi’s eyes followed him as he walked towards the washroom. As he angrily pushed on the code buttons by the side of the door,  Khushi breathed a sign of relief. Door unlocked, Arnav pushed open it and Tyara ran out to Khushi. She bent down and took Tyara into her embrace with teary eyes..

Khushi: Oh my baby, are you ok? Are you hurt? I’m so sorry tyara baby... you forgive me na?

Arnav who was standing at the door, his back still facing Khushi... he nodded in disbelief and muttered to himself...

ASR: To a dog... Unbelievable!

He finally turned back and stared at Khushi hugging Tyara tightly.. as if her whole life depended on her.. Tears falling down her cheeks.. unknowingly those tears were hurting him and at the same time, her innocence.. it brought  a smile on his serious face.. And when suddenly Khushi’s eyes shifted towards his smile, his trance broke.. Khushi angrily lowered her gaze and closed her eyes as she thought...

Khushi thinks: No Khushi.. no need to be friends with him.. Monster man! This Mr Arrogant Singh Raizada will rot alone in his boring life.. As soon as we land in London.. It’s his own way and I go my way... No need to get cozy with him..

And unknowingly she murmured to herself...

Khushi: Waste of time.

ASR: You said something?

Khushi got stunned when she lifted her eyes and found Arnav standing closer than before. Her eyes wide open... and her heartbeats went on a race as one more step and he was only few inches away from her.. He smirked at her confused expression.. Staring into his deep brown eyes, Khushi gulped in her breath when she felt his pair of arms on her waist travelling to her back.. and she froze.. Both stared at each other.. while Khushi was lost into his eyes, she felt incapable to react when suddenly Arnav pulled her into his chest... Tyara in Khushi’s arms while Khushi was in Arnav’s arms.. and in a corner of the craft the hostess murmured to herself...

Hostess 1: For someone who said not liking dogs!

The hostess grimaced as her colleague tapped her shoulders..

Hostess 2: Are you crazy? If the boss find you spying on him, he’ll kill you.. Let’s go!

Hostess 1: They are so cute together... perfect! A crazy girl and a no nonsense guy! I think she’s his girl.. else Arnav Singh Raizada would not even wait for the landing to throw her out of the flight.. What say?

Hostess 2: Shut up! Do you realize that we just lost our jobs! Idiot!

And her colleague dragged her away. When Khushi finally got back to reality, her eyes popped out and she began wriggling into Arnav’s arms to free herself but in vain.. and she yelled..

Khushi: Leave me.. Leave me I said..

And he clutched her body to his chest tighter...

Khushi: you promised you won’t cross your limits Mr Raizada..

Arnav smirked and said in a cool tone..

ASR: And I certainly do remember my limits Miss Gupta.. But do you?

Staring into her eyes, he leaned forward not breaking the eye contact.. His breath bathed her milky skin and her heart skipped a beat.. His lips almost touching her parting lips.. and her nervous expression was worth seeing... He smirked and moved slightly brushing her lips purposely as he pecked her left cheek sensually... He pulled back enough to have a look at her shocked face.. or better say her disappointed face.. But what come after.. she almost fainted.. Arnav lowered his eyes and boldly said...

ASR: I’m sorry!

Her eyes popped out... and she looked at him, speechless..

ASR: For shouting.. and brought tears into those beautiful eyes..

Khushi: Why?

Arnav was stunned at her prompt reply and he smirked.. He knew she was confused... confused at his actions.. the way he behaved with her.. at times rude and other times soft.. Who is Arnav Singh Raizada in real? What does he want? Is he really helping her? Why so much mystery? What if there was more behind the story...What if he wants something from her father?... What she missed at the beginning started to pop out into her mind.. and worry lines formed onto her face..

*****

Raizada Villa.. New York!

He entered in full speed through the gate of Raizada Villa.. The guards were shocked and ran after the car. Anjali Jha was cheerfully gossiping with her nani sitting at the veranda when the sound of the speeding car caught their attention. The engine screeched to an halt in front of the veranda and a man stepped out of the car under the shocked expressions of Anjali and Nani. He walked up furiously the few steps and approached the ladies while Anjali exclaimed confusingly...

Anjali: Shashi Uncle?

But instantly he barked angrily..

Shashi: Where is Arnav?

Nani: Chote? Any problem Shashiji?

And he replied in a serious tone.. without hesitation...

Shashi: Yes Maaji, your grandson kidnapped my daughter.

The ladies’ eyes popped out in shock. While Nani froze on the spot, Anjali found it unbelievable to be true and she nodded negatively...

Anjali: Shashi uncle, this is impossible.. it might be a misunderstanding.. why would Arnav kidnap Khushiji?

And he replied back furiously..

Shashi: No! I’m sure about it.. Khushi was last seen with him at the airport! How dare he? Where the hell is Arnav Singh Raizada? Answer me damn it...

Anjali was taken aback by his anger and Nani stayed lost in thoughts when suddenly she said in a low voice..

Nani: London!

Shashi and Anjali turned to the lowered gaze of Nani... and Shashi said angrily...

Shashi: I swear I won’t spare him.. if anything happens to my daughter.. I’ll kill Arnav Singh Raizada..

And he turned away rushing down the stairs while barking at his bodyguards on the phone to head off to London... Shashi finally got into his car and zoomed out through the gate while Anjali worriedly looked towards her nani...

Anjali: Can chote do this? Kidnap Khushiji?

Nani lifted her eyes towards Anjali and nodded a yes anxiously as she said..

Nani: Yes.. after what Miss Gupta did some months back.. I don’t doubt that he can kidnap her..

And both the ladies looked towards the temple praying to God to stop Arnav from any wrong step... and to keep Khushi safe! Though they trusted their chote...
