Chapter 6

[MEMBERSONLY]

[NOCOPY]

Part 6

Arnav sat on the bed , his palms covering his whole face. His heart was in a total mess. Unable to formulate where to start from. Why? Why it always happens with him? Why is that only he lands up in situations like this? Why?! Today no one is beside him. Not even his own family.

"Aapne hume phir se anaath kardiya, Arnav ji!"

Arnav's head snapped up. His heart hammering inside his chest. He got up from the bed. An image of Khushi, sitting near his leg begging him to tell her why he married her?, flashed in front of him. He closed his eyes, desperate to get rid of that image. He turned round, his nails digging in his fisted palms.

He neared the poolside, his breath irregular, and the confines of his room suffocating him. His eyes landed on the pool. A trembling form of Khushi, sitting there, looking at him through her allege eyes, blazed in front of him. He felt tears like hot lava burning his eyes.

His whole being trembled as one by one all the accusations, indictment, hurt, agonies, sufferings, anguish, each and every moment of last four months flashed like a reel playing in front of him.

He closed his eyes to dispose-of every amiss he has done, to assassinate the every moment but it was all in vain, futile, ineffective, pointless. All the time he had hurt Khushi, each scene was like imprinted in his mind. At this moment he wanted to wrench it away from his mind, but wasn't able to.

He entered the poolside, finding a corner, he sat there, his knees to his chest and head buried between it. How? How will he heal the aching in his heart? How will he bring his Khushi back? And if he is unable to do that, then? Then how will he survive? He will not survive. He will not survive this time. He had survived the charlatan of his father, he had survived the death of his mother, he had survived his sister's broken marriage, and he had survived the betrayal of the man whom he respected so much. But this? The guilt that is crawling on his whole being? He will not survive this! The only woman he was able to love, asking him to go away? He will not survive this!

He was about to confess his love to Khushi on that day. But ...But. Arnav lifted his head from his knees. Love? Wasn't his love worth an explanation? Why he had blindly believed a man who was confessing his love for someone else and was ready to leave his Di? Why?! Why?!! Why?!!!

*Crash!*

A pot went flying and crashed beside the pool, its smashing sound booming the entire poolside. Arnav got on his feet. His eyes smoldering with rage like never before. The storm within him having the power to burn the whole cosmos down. His eyes wandered to his well maintained garden, the glowing leaves, the lovely blooming flowers but nothing seemed lovely to him, nothing seemed glowing to his eyes. Everywhere he saw, he was only able to see Khushi s hurt eyes. He strode towards his garden. Determined to destroy everything, every bloody thing!!

*Crash!*

*Crash!*

*Crash!*

...

"Aakash ji, what's that noise?" Payal sat on her bed.

Aakash too joined her, listening another smashing sound.

"Bhai.." Aakash whispered.

"What?" Payal looked at Aakash, confused.

"Payal. Bhai! The sound is coming from poolside. He is destroying his garden.." Aakash threw the comforter from him and rushed towards the poolside.

Payal too got up from the bed, following her husband.

...

Aakash entered the poolside to see his enraged Bhai, flunking his every pot in the air. Frightened by his furious avatar, Aakash strode towards his Bhai and caught him by his shoulder.

Arnav felt someone's hand on his shoulder and he turned around.

"Bhai, what are you doing?! " Akash pulled Arnav away from his garden.

"Just leave me, Aakash! I said leave me!! How can I do this?! How can she leave me?! How?! She has enveloped herself in her own imaginary world and she even doesn't want to see me! How can she say that? How can I push her to the extent where she isn't ready to even see me. She told me to go away from her. She told me that, Aakash. Can you believe it? The girl who use to follow me everywhere, no matter how much I berate her, is asking me to go away from her! How can I? How can she? I want her!! I want her to be with me! How can she ask me to go away?! How?!!!" Arnav shouted his helplessness, furiously.

"Bhai, please. She will be alright! You losing your temper will not help the situation turn any better. Please calm down. please" Aakash tried to make his Bhai understand. He is too mad at him for what he had done. But he knows this is not the right time to castigate him.

"She will come with me! I will bring her!! There's no way in hell I am going to let her go!! She will come with me!!!" Arnav jerked Aakash's hand away from him and took a step towards the exit. But Aakash's next word forced him to halt in his track.

"You have forced her enough, Bhai. Please don't force her this time"

Arnav turned around to look at his brother. His eyes burning with the mixture of all emotions flowing through his veins.

"Force her? Do you think I will force her?! DO YOU THINK I WILL FORCE HER, AAKASH?!!!! ANSWER ME DAMMIT!!!" Arnav voice boomed in the entire poolside.

Aakash stood there, looking at his Bhai's flaming eyes, not knowing what to say.

Getting no answer from his brother, Arnav turned on his heel. About to exit the pool's door, he saw Payal standing there, looking at him. He halted beside her and opened his mouth to say something but saw Payal averting her eyes and moving her head away. Swallowing the insult, he moved passed her and exited the room.

...

Arnav's SUV came to a screeching halt in front of the Gupta house. He looked out of the window. The lights were off but some light was emitting from the left side window. That was Khushi's window. She is afraid of dark. Arnav pulled the car door open and came out of the car. Instead of walking towards the door, he walked near the window. He pushed the window door open and jumped inside.

Arnav closed the window and turned around. He saw Khushi sleeping, her hands crossed to her chest, as if holding someone. And he knew whom she was holding. With his eyes burning with tears, he moved towards her and sat beside her. His hands moved near Khushi's cheek. His knuckles caressing her milky cheeks.

Khushi was sleeping, holding her Arnav ji close to her when she felt someone caressing her cheek. Smiling, thinking that it's HER Arnav ji, she opened her eyes and the smile on her face was immediately vanished and was replace by fright. She got up in a sitting position and dragged herself as far as she can.

Arnav saw Khushi smiling at him, with pure joy flooding his heart but the flash of joy was wrenched away brutally from him as he saw the smile recouped by pure panic.

"Khushi, please listen to me, please..." Arnav pleaded and tried to put his hand on her shoulder but she jerked it away.

"Don't...don't touch me...I have told you to go away...why you came again?...why? ...go away...just go away..." Khushi dragged herself more away, her eyes filling with tears.

Arnav swallowed the tears and moved near her. Today he was determined not to give up.

"Khushi, please. You will not listen to me?... Shout at me. Hit me. Beat me. Slap me. Flunk hurtful words at me, just like I use to do...but please...please...please don't ask to go away from you...please...please...I will do anything ...anything you ask for... but please...please don't ask to go away...I will not be able to live without you...I will die Khushi...please...please..." Arnav cupped Khushi's cheek.

"No...no...I don't want anything...go away from me...please...please" Khushi removed his hands from her cheek.

Arnav looked at Khushi through his blurry eyes.

Arnav got up from the bed, kneeled in front of her and caught her one hand in his.

"Khushi...please...I am not asking to forgive me...but please don't leave me...I beg you ...please... please come with me...I will do whatever you say...I promise ...please...please...Don't say no...please I will die, Khushi...please..." Arnav pleaded, his hand with Khushi, near his heart.

Khushi saw the man, begging in front of him with her cheeks now drenched with tears. She slipped her hand away from his and averted her eyes from him.

Arnav got up from the kneeling position and again sat beside her, his hands again on her cheek, making her look at him. Today he will not leave without her.

"Khushi, just one chance, just one week, please...please...I promise...I promise that I will not bother you after this one week...please...please say yes...please..." Arnav pleaded, cupping her drenched cheek in his palm.

"You will not bother me?" came Khushi's barely audible whisper. She looked in his eyes.

"Never...just one week and then I will go away from your life ...if ...if you don't want me in your life...after ...after this one week..." Arnav spoke, with little hope shining in his eyes.

"You will not come to me after this one week?" Khushi asked.

"No...no...I swear on you...I swear on you, Khushi...just say yes...please..."

"Swear on your Di.." Khushi lifted her eyes to meet his.

Arnav looked at Khushi, confused. He looked in her waiting eyes. And with a speed of light it dawned on him. A lone tear slipped from his eyes and fell on Khushi's cheek but Khushi's eyes remained on him, waiting!

Arnav leaned and touched his forehead with hers. Fractious tears flowing down from his eyes. He had never felt this helpless in his entire life. Not even when he had nothing left in his life. What should he do to make her believe that he loves her? Nothing and no one is more precious to him than her.

"Khushi...I love you, jaan...I love you,...more than...than...more than Di...please believe me...please..." Arnav pleaded, his heart bleeding at the thought that she doesn't trust him where she is concerned.

Khushi tried to push him but he didn't move. He remained in the same place.

"I don't want to hear that...just ,...just swear on your Di.." Khushi said, unaware that her words are piercing the heart of the man in front of her, like a sharp knife.

Arnav allowed every pain. He deserves that! He bloody deserves that!

"Promise... I swear on Di...I swear on her. Now will you come with me?" Arnav asked, his pained eyes looking in hers.

Arnav lifted his head to look at her, waiting. His life hanging on her mere yes. And then he saw her, nodding her head.

Arnav took her in his arms, hugging her close. The reason doesn't matters. All matters is that she has agreed to come with him and he will make full use of this opportunity. He will try everything in his power to bring her back to him, to make her love him, to trust him. Promise Khushi! I will make you love me again! Thank you! Thank you!

Precap----

"Khushi, that's Di... Why are you..." Payal said to Khushi, confused.

Arnav looked at Khushi, his brow frowned.

"I ...I want to go away...I want to go to my room...please...I don't want to meet anyone..." Khushi looked at floor, not meeting anyone's eyes.
