"Don't worry beta...she is just a bit in pain that's why she is reacting this much." Garima said to Arnav.

"Are you sure that it isn't fracture." ARnav asked in anticipation.

Once she stopped crying he carried her to her room but she hadn't stopped completely. She would start crying again and the least she know that she was hurting him too.Her feet was swelling badly and he was getting worried, but Garima told him that it isn't fracture.

"But I have called the doctor...she'll check her up." Arnav told Garima and she nodded.

"BY the way do you know the person who bought her home?" she asked referring to Sahil and Arnav just nodded.

"You should have called him in, he helped her and we didn't have the chance to thank him." she said apologetically.

"There is no need for that...I'll talk to him." arnav said and soon the doctor arrived who confirmed that it isn't fracture, she gave Khushi some heavy painkillers to ease her pain but the least she knew that the pain was in her heart not in her ankle. But the doctor wouldn't have medicine to give her the relief for the pain she is going through. Once she left Arnav gathered the courage and walked in the room to see stuffing her college bag with her things.

"What are you doing...doctor told you to rest and...and what the hell Khuhsi she said that you should put weight." He said walking towards her and holding her arm but she immediately jerked it.

"Take me back to your home." He was taken aback by her response but then he realized that he had lost the right to scold her and take care of her.

"K-Khuhsi...we can go later...you need rest." He said in a very soft understanding voice but she turned looked sideways to face him.

"I want to go now...otherwise Ma or Papa will suspect something." She told him and he felt helpless.

"You can stay here if you want...I-I'll tell DI that you sprained your ankle." She said in defeat looking down at the floor.

"DO I have a choice?" she asked sarcastically. "NO...and how long can I stay here...for 2 or 3 days...then? I would have to be there eventually...so why not today itself." She said with scoff and he felt very bad for landing her in this situation but he knows that once they'll reach home he'll explain or atleast try to explain everything.

"Okay...let me help you." he said taking her bag but she just snatched it for him and he looked at her with hurtful eyes.

"I can do my work." She said and knowing that there isn't any scope of argument he let her do but kept an eye on her. she was in pain and her face was telling whenever she would accidently put weight to her feet but she was too full of pride to let him help. she packed and they were ready to leave. Everyone protested infact in front of her family Arnav too said that there is no rush for them to leave but she was adamant to leave. She let him help to sit in the car and on the ride back home the painkillers showed its effect making her sleep on the car seat. Involuntarily his mind took him to the thoughts were she would it in his car talking non stop or even if he would she would either mess with something or the other in his car. but gone were those days where he made some memories. He banged his fist on the car but immediately regretted as it made loud noise and he looked at KHushi and sighed as she was unaffected by the noise.

Thy reached home and he wanted to wake her up but he didn't know how. His hand was in the midair as he wanted to gently wake her up when her eyes opened and she looked around.

"We reached." He told her and taking her bag she opened the door of her said but Arnav was quicker and stood outside to offer his hand.

"I am fine...and no one is around...we don't need to act." She said and taking the support of the door she hopped but immediately regretted as she felt a sharp pain rising in her leg and Arnav leaned forward to help her.

"I am not acting Khushi...I wish I could tell you." he said and she chuckled sarcastically and he hated it. Khushi freed herself from him and slowly but successfully walked towards the door where she waited for him to stand beside her so that they may enter. He rang the bell and offered the support and walked in.

"What happened Chotte?" Nani asked as the waked in.

"Khushi beta what happened to you?" she continued.

"I am fine Nani...just a miner sprain." She told her smiling lightly. She wanted to sit with her but Arnav didn't let her.

"NAni I am taking her to the room...she needs rest."

"I am fine...i want to sit here and talk...NAni where is DI?" she asked.

"She wanted to eat something spicy so Shyam took her out and ARnav is right you go and rest...I'll be in your room." she said and Khushi huffed.

He let her in and the little puppy came running to Khushi and tangled himself in her legs. Khushi smiled and lightly caressed him soft fur. Arnav made her sit on the bed but she stood up as he walked to lock the door. She turned to look at her and saw her keeping a pillow on the recliner and sitting on the recliner.

"You can take the bed...i-I..." his sentence was left incomplete when she lay resting her back on the back shutting her eyes close.

"Khushi...please talk to me once..." he said sitting beside her on the edge of the recliner. She didn't open her eyes or looked at him. he wanted to hold her hand but he refrained himself from doing that.

"There is nothing left...Now I know everything Arnavji...why you didn't wanted this marriage...why you hated me...why you made that contract...why I was a gold digger...why that kiss was a mistake." Her voice lowered on the last words and a lone drop of tears leaked from her eyes.

He so wanted to correct her but he saw a drop of tear leaking down from her eyes.

"You know you could have told me before and I would have declined this offer of marriage." She said looking at him for the first time and he remained silent.

"You didn't even tell DI...atleast she would have understood you." she said and he looked down on the recliner.

"My parents think...I am the luckiest girl that I got married to someone who cares for me so much." She croaked and Arnav guiltily looked at her.

"What should I tell them now?" she asked him. "That they are so wrong...everything is fake including the vows we took." She continued and he took her hand her in his.

"Don't talk like that Khuhsi...I-I ...w-we didn't do anything there...I just wanted to talk to her...to make her understand but then you came...but I promise that nothi9ng happened between us." he told her the thing he wanted to tell her.

"Just answer my one question...Are you in a relationship with her?" she asked.

"It's just..."

"Just yes or no." she told him and he looked in defeat and he nodded. She slipped her hand from his.

"I got my answer Arnavji...i don't want to hear anything more." she said and turned to face the other side. His eyes got moist looking her like that...he wanted to explain that that he went there to make Lavanya understand things better. He wanted to talk to her so she could understand that he wouldn't continue the relationship with her as he feel bad or the girl who is now called his wife. She agreed after a lot of drama and for the last time she asked him join for dinner and just to make up he stayed with her but nothing happened in between them . infact he was waiting for the day to need so he could go to meet Khuhsi but life doesn't go as planned...she came and surprised him.

Although he didn't want to leave her but he wanted her to rest, so he closed the door behind him silently and left. Nothing could be worse than this.

**********************

Hoping that she must be sleeping Arnav peeped into the room with a tray of her dinner but in spite of the bed he saw her sitting on the edge of the recliner with a bunch of papers in her hand he entered the room and kept the try on the tale infront of hr.

"10 crores?" she said from nowhere and he frowned. He looked at her in confusion but she laughed sarcastically.

"You knew I wouldn't even pay you 1 crore even if I sell myself in the market, so you made the amount 10 crore." She said and showed him the paper and his eyes widened as he saw those paper. They were the contract papers which he made her sign on the day of their marriage. Although he wanted her to read them but she didn't. he snatched the paper from her and looked at her face which had a smile on it. So much to hide her pain.

"Khushi...eat something you hadn't eaten anything since morning." he said to her in a low voice. she looked at the tray once but then stood up and immediately winced in pain and he took a step forward to help her but she raised her palm to stop him.

"I am fine." She said and started walking towards the glass door.

"Where are you going Khuhsi...eat something...you have to take your medicines as well." He reminded her.

"Don't worry Arnavji we are in your room...you don't have to act...and for the medicines I don't need any, I have to learn to numb my pain. I won't die if I won't eat for one day." She said and opened the glass door.

"Wait...where are you going...it's cold outside." He said holding her arm and she looked down to see his hand holding hers. The gaze made him recall that she doesn't wanted to be touched by him and hesitantly he left her arm.

"I need some fresh air...I can't breathe." She said and walked out and her little friend jumped as he saw her coming. He sat beside her on the old floor abandoning the am blanket Khushi had given him.

Arnav's heart lurched as he saw her back sitting on the cold floor. The tension in their room was so thick that could make anyone feel restless. He sat on the bed watching her. he saw the papers once again and sighed. Only if cold go back in time and would have been adamant to his decision of not marrying than he would have to see this day but yet again he wouldn't be able to meet her Khushi.

*******************

When sunlight entered his room he frowned with the disturbance but like an electricity shock he jerked up and saw the poolside empty. A sudden pain in his neck erupted because of the uncomfortable position he slept in but he didn't plane to sleep, he just wanted to keep an eyes on his wife. Panic raised his body as he couldn't find her anywhere. He checked the washroom and when he couldn't find her glimpse he rushed down where Anjali was sitting on one of the chairs of dining table with Nani who was busy reading newspaper.

"Chotte...what happened? " Anjali asked.

"DI have you seen Khuhsi...sh-she is not in the room and I checked everywhere." He said in a rush.

"She went out with her little friend for a walk." She told him and exhaled the breathe he didn't knew he was holding.

"You look stressed...is there any problem between you two?" she asked. Problem? It would be an underestimate to call the situation just a problem.

"Di I was just worried because her feet is still aching and I didn't found her anywhere in the room." he half lied.

"Chotte...come and have tea with us." Nani offered and he wanted to decline but then he couldn't as he wanted to see her first as she arrives. He took one of the chair and NAni made him a tea.

"Khuhsiji adores him so much...they were so happy when she was taking him out." Anjali said.

"Nani did you read this news?" Anjali pointed to certain point on the page.

"Yes...that is really sad news." Nani said.

"What happened?" Arnav interrupted.

"This lady committed suicide with her son who was just 4." Anjali told him as he sipped his tea to relax himself.

"But why?" he asked.

"Her husband had been cheating on her." Nani told him flipping the paper and all the tea he drank came spluttering out of his mouth as he coughed vigorously.

"Chotte...what happened?" Anjali rushed towards him and rubbed his back until his coughing subsidized.

"I-I am okay." He lid. How can he be okay when Khushi is not in the house and he just heard a new like this. the least he wants at this moment is something like his happening. Never ever he'll be able to forgive himself if something likes this happen.

"You just reacted as if you are the one who did this." Anjali joked but it wasn't a joke for him.

"Anjali...stop it...I now my son wouldn't do anything like that." Nani said and the mountain of guilt kept growing bigger and bigger n his heart.

"I would personally kill his before Khushiji if he even thinks of doing it." Anjali slapped his arm and gave him a wide smile and he returned the smile but it diminished almost immediately from his face.

"Girls are very sensitive, no one should be allowed to play with her heart. " Anjali said and NAni nodded.

His Khushi is a sensitive girl too...his heart of thumping in his chest. Weird images of Khuhsi came in his mind and he blinked several times to erase those images.

"Khuhsiji...come join us." Anjali's sudden voice broke the trance of his thoughts and he saw Khushi coming towards them. he stood up and even he doesn't know what took over him that he rushed towards her and hugged her tight. At this moment he doesn't care whether she hates him or will push him away.

"I am so relived." He muttered in her ears.

"Awww...someone missed his wife so much this morning." Anjali commented and he broke the hug to see her face and she was fine.

"Khushi...beta where is your the puppy?" NAni asked suddenly as she didn't found him behind Khushi and Arnav looked behind her.

"I left him in the park." She said and Arnav stared her in disbelief.

"What?" Anjali and Nani's voice boomed in her ears.

"He was fine now and he had to leave." She said unaffectedly but Arnav knew how much he is lying.

"But you liked him so much...Chotte did you said something to her?" Anjali said.

"NO Di Arnavji didn't...he had to leave...he can't stay longer." She defended Arnav.

" But you wanted him to stay and you...you were even so attached to him." Nani said in concern.

"We don't get everything we like Naniji...and all the attachment and feelings will be numb too...it's all about time" She said with a smile which didn't reach her ears and Arnav felt responsible for hurting her again. Those words were not just or the puppy hey were also for the husband she had unwillingly grown attached too and Arnav knows it. Involuntarily he reached for her hands and squeezed them tight as his head was bowed down. He didn't only hurt his wife but also genuine friend he had earned after so many years of his life.
