UNSPOKEN LOVE

CHAPTER 41

My song for this update or situation will be-

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours'

Arnav's POV

Ruined!!! Just one word to describe everything in life. just one moment ruined it all. When I heard a feminine voice talking to Lavanya, deep own I know it was Khuhsi, but I brushed away that feeling because the truth was I hear her voice everywhere. But when saw her, the moment froze, it felt someone had stopped the clock and I was forced to see the disgust and hurt in her eyes. I wanted to protect her but I pushed her myself in the pit of grief. I was bought back to the reality when that drop of tear rolled down her eyes, I wanted to stop her, explain everything but she didn't heard me and I knew she went wrong either.

I was driving at an insane speed just to reach home as soon as possible, explain the mountain of guilt growing in me but when I reached I had to calm myself down first as I didn't want anyone to sense something wasn't right. I took the long strides towards the door and I saw Di in the living room talking with Shyam and Nani but Khuhsi was nowhere in sight.

Shyam's eyes met mine and he looked surprised- "Arnav...you are here?" he asked.

"Yes." I replied shortly.

"You said you'll be coming tomorrow? Did everything go well?" he asked again. How can I explain that it as probably the worst I had ever been trough.

"Where is Khushi DI?" I asked ignoring every question thrown at me.

"Oh...so Khushiji bought you home early..." she teased me and I was running out of patience.

"Seems like my daughter will soon have someone to play with." She added.

"DI where is she?" I asked.

"CHotte...she is at her home...you both have decided yourself." Nani reminded me and I slammed myself mentally. How could I forget this?

"Oh...I- I'll go then." I said and swirled on my heels.

"Chotte...wait..." I heard DI and Nani's voice but now I couldn't wait. Only one thought was running in my mind that she shouldn't have done anything stupid.

I drove to her house guesing what would be the possible scenario. Khuhsi's parents angry on me? Khushi crying? Khushi hating me? Khushi wanting to leave me? every single thing was making me heart clench tighter. Will I ever be able to let her go? In these 3 months we had grown very close to each other. When I leave my office, I just hav only one thought that I'll be home to see Khuhsi. The way she talks and the way she intentionally irritates me somehow got into my liking and I try to explain myself the reason of it but everytime I failed. I reached her house and knocked the door furiously and Payal opened the door and greeted me with smile.

"ARnavji...Khusi told us you'll be coming tomorrow...please come in." she said.

"What a surprise beta...Khsuhi will be very happy to see you." Uncle interrupted and I gave him a halfhearted smile.

"Where is she?" I asked in a low voice.

"She went to her friend birthday party...she said she'll be home by now but she is a little late." Uncle told me and gestured me to sit but this sentence made me grow nervous. She isn't home yet. I checked my wrist watch and it's more rather 2 hours already. Where is she?

"Arnavji...what a surprise..." Aunty appeared and I gave a feeble smile. At this moment I really can't act. If she isn't home in few seconds I'll tell everyone the truth myself.

"Khushi had been waiting for you...she'll be shocked to see you." she told me.

"Well...you stole our sister away...she had a major transformation." Payal said the smile but her words didn't register much in brain...all I can think at this moment was Khushi and her safety and just then there was a knock on the door and I stoop up defeating everyone. I opened the door and there I saw the person I was dying to get the glimpse of, looking down on the floor.

"Khushi..."

I said softly...to seek her attention. She looked up and all I wanted to hug her tight into my embrace. I wanted to scold her for making me worried so much but those eyes...those eyes were enough to tell me that I don't even deserve touching her.

"What are you doing here?" she said in a heavy voice and it wasn't a rocket science to guess that she was crying.

"I was worried for you." I told her genuinely but her reaction just took me aback. She scoffed and laughed sarcastically on my face.

"Worried for me or about the deal? You must be thinking that I would tell everyone?" she said and low voice and what surprised me was the smile which she was using to mask her feeling.

"So Khuhsi...did you liked you surprise?" Payal's voice broke the trance of my thoughts.

"Don't worry your secret is still safe." she whispered and walked pat me leaving me shocked.

"I loved it Didi." I heard her voice.

"Khuhsi can I talk to you for a moment?" I interrupted and she turned to look at me.

"I don't think we have anything left to talk." She said those words right in front of everyone and internally I was growing so nervous that I couldn't even comprehend.

"Khushi is this the way of talking to your husband?" Aunty scolded her.

"Ma...he ruined my day." She complained and only I was the one who could understand what she meant.

"Go in your room and talk to him...Arnavji what would you like to have tea or coffee?" Aunty offered and I declined as I saw Khuhsi stomping towards the room and I followed her quickly. I locked the door behind me and as I turned to look at her she began.

"Look ARnavji...I don't think anything is left between us..."

"Will you please let me explain?" I demanded in irritated voice and that was the moment I saw the tears back in her eyes. She was trying to be strong but in these few months I have learnt to see behind those fake smiles.

"Please go..." She croaked and I took a step ahead to hold her by her arms but she moved back.

"I j-Just want..."

"My house isn't big like yours...My parents outside could hear everything and I just don't want to break their hearts." She said in a teary voice and I rubbed my temple in frustration.

"Please go" she said when I didn't said anything for long.

"W-What?" I asked.

"I said leave my house." she repeated looking everywhere but not at me and I was dying to read those eyes.

"You want me to go? Without even giving me he chance to explain?" I asked her.

"Everything makes sense now...and...and I don't want to hear anything...Please go." She almost begged and I gave up.

"I'll be back tomorrow." I said and I waited for her response but she didn't. I know he was hurting inside but she wouldn't let me see. I unlocked the door and stepped out.

"Beta is anything wrong?" Uncle asked.

"N-No." I cleared my throat as there was a huge lump clogging my words.

"I have works and I wanted to tell her that...i'll come tomorrow." I told them with fake smile and I left her house. I drove aimlessly on the roads for few hours and finally reached my home where I live with my Khuhsi. Thankfully everyone had already retired to their room and I made my way towards mine. as I opened the door the little puppy caming running towards me an barked at me as if scolding me for my mistakes. I kneeled down at his level and looked at him as he continued to bark on my face.

"I am sorry." I said but he ran away just like Khushi turned her face. I had called her numerous times but she wasn't answering so I called Payal.

"hello Payal will you do me a small favor?" I asked as soon a she answered my call I threw my question.

"Ofcousre...what is it?" she asked politely.

"Khushi isn't answering my alls and I know she is very upset...will you take care of her for me tonight?" I asked.

"She didn't came out of the room since you left...but don't worry she is fine." She told me and I nodded muttering thanks I disconnected the call and lay on the bed but I wasn't able to sleep even for a minute. She thought that I was worried about the deal but that was the least I was thinking about at that moment but I know I would never be able to explain her that. I was up very early and without even doing my breakfast I reached Khushi's house at 7:30 but what surprised me that she wasn't home and nobody knew where she went. After pacing for hours There were several knocks on the door and just like yesterday when I opened it in hopes to see Khushi but everytime i faced disappointments as it was either milk man or newspaper and it was now getting onto my nerve. I patience was running low and when there was a final knock I ran and open I saw Khuhsi and I exhaled in relief but the person beside her made me agitate.

"What are you doing here?" I asked and nearly grabbed Khushi who was holding his one arm.

"O-Ouch..." Khuhsi muttered and I looked at her and then her feet as she was limping.

"What happened to you?" I asked as panic was building in me but she didn't answer me.

"Relax...your wife have sprained her ankle and thankfully we were in the same park so I bought her back." Sahil said and looked at Khushi who was staring the floor.

"Khushi what happened to you?" Aunty asked and she hopped in her direction and I grabbed Sahil to the corner.

"You were the one who did this?" I asked and he frowned.

"What I did?" he said in confusion but I knew he was just playing with me.

"You told her everything?" I seethed.

"Why would I I do that?" h exasperated.

"Because you want her." he said with my clenched my teeth's.

"I could have done that but I didn't but I knew she is fragile and I didn't wanted to see her like this." he told me and my hands automatically formed a fist.

"In this situation I would recommend to take care of her rather than blaming others." He mocked and walked away leaving me fuming. I walked inside to se Khushi sitting on the couch with her feet on her father's laps and her face in Aunty's stomach. she was crying and Payal was rubbing her back. I don't know what took over me that I kneeled beside uncle and took her feet in mine rubbing it softly. She was crying so hard that her whole body was shaking. I know it wasn't for the pain from the sprain it was from the pain which I gave her yesterday. I rubbed her felt gently and she was hiccupping.

"Khushi...it's just a small sprain." Autny caressed her hair and she hiccupped. Her every tear was making me feel terrible. I stood up but I was hesitant to take her in embrace but I couldn't control myself anymore. Aunty looked at me and I pleaded with my eyes to let me hold her and she gave me the way. If she would have known that I was the reason her daughter was crying she wouldn't even let me even touch her. As I took her in my embrace she suddenly stopped at looked at me and our eyes met.

Her face was red, her little nose, lips eyes everything was red. Her lips were quivering and a sob escaped from them. Her cheeks were soaked in her tears and I kneeled to her level. I wiped her tears with my thumbs but they fell again. I hugged her but her body was stiff.

"I am sorry." I whispered in her ears and I am not even sure whether he heard it or not but I just wanted to tell her how I am feeling so I just said it.
