Part 8 :: Day 2[Part 3]

Arnav entered the kitchen to see Payal standing near the kitchen slab. He took hesitant step inside and stood beside her.

"Payal..."

Payal heard her name being called and turned around. She looked at her brother-in-law, who was looking at her reluctantly. Payal again turned to retain her work.

"Do you want something?" Payal asked, dryly.

"I...I need breakfast for Khushi.." Arnav replied.

"You go, I will bring." Arnav got the curt reply.

Arnav waited for few minutes, just staring at Payal.

"Payal, I...I..mean...Khushi will be alright...I will take care of her"

"Agar Khushi aapse itna pyaar nahi karti, toh hum apko uske paas bhi nahi aane dete, dhyaan rakhna toh door ki baat hai. Par kya kare? She is unfortunate enough to love a man like you." Payal jabbed, all the respect she use to have for this man had died the moment he had confessed his sin.

Arnav swallowed the insult. What else can he do? He turned around and left the kitchen.

Arnav was about to take the first stair but was stopped by Akash.

"Bhai!"

Arnav heard and turned around to look at Aakash.

"Bhai, this papers need you signature." Aakash told and forwarded the file towards his Bhai.

Arnav nodded at Aakash and took the file from him.

...

"Khushi..."

Khushi's whole body froze as she heard that voice! Her fingers clutched the bedsheet in a tight grip. The panic engulfed her right away. And in a flash all those moments flooded her mind.

"Mujhe iss duniya se koi matlab nahi hai, meri asli duniya to aap ho!"

"Meri Di hai wo! Unhe kuch nahi hoga!! Main unhe kuch hone nahi dunga!! Chahe tum kuch bhi karlo!"

"Mai apni di ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hoon, tum jaisi ladki se shaadi bhi. Aur wahi maine kiya."

"Ab bas intezaar kar raha hoon ki cheh mahine kab khatam ho aur di aur unka baccha safe ho jayen. Taki main apni zindagi se tumhe hamesha hamesah ke liye nikaal ke bahar fek doon."

Her whole frame trembled as one by one all the memories stirred her mind.

"Khushi, how are you? Aapke aane ke baad toh hum aapse mile hi nahi" Anjali smiled and moved towards Khushi, who wasn't facing Anjali.

Anjali went and sat beside Khushi.

"Khushi, how are you?" Anjali asked again, but Khushi refrained herself from replying and tried to drag herself away from Anjali.

Anjali looked at Khushi, unsure. Why isn't she talking?

"Khushi?" Anjali tried again and kept her hand on Khushi's shoulder.

Khushi felt Anjali's hand on her shoulder and as if it's the most fatal thing in the world, she immediately jerked it away and stood up from the bed.

"Khushi?" Anjali too got up from the bed, confused by Khushi's weird behavior.

"Go...go from here...I,...I...I don't want to talk...go...go..." Khushi said, panicking.

"Khushi? what are you saying? I am your Di" Anjali looked at Khushi, her expression a mixture of worry and bewilderment.

"No...you...you are not my Di...you are his Di...go from here...you will take my Arnav ji away from me...go..go..please..." Khushi's eyes instantly filling with tears of helplessness.

Anjali looked at Khushi appalled. Take away?

"What are you telling, Khushi? Why will I do that? I know he loves you and you love him, then why will I take him away from you? " Anjali tried to limp towards Khushi but stopped immediately as she saw Khushi taking a step away from her. Khushi's this gesture pierced her heart. What had she done to deserve this?

"No...he told ...he told..."

"Mai apni di ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hoon, tum jaisi ladki se shaadi bhi. Aur wahi maine kiya."

"Ab bas intezaar kar raha hoon ki cheh mahine kab khatam ho aur di aur unka baccha safe ho jayen. Taki main apni zindagi se tumhe hamesha hamesah ke liye nikaal ke bahar fek doon."

"What Khushi? What are you talking about?"

"Arnav ji...he...he...go...go from here...I...I...He...six months...he told me...he told me...I...I want My Arnav ji...you will take him away from me...Go...I said GO!!!" Khushi shouted, the fear that Anjali will take HER Arnav ji away from her, gripping her heart.

Anjali was taken aback by Khushi's sudden shout. What has SHE done that Khushi is thinking of her as a threat? A person who will take away her Arnav ji? She can't even think of doing that! Then how can Khushi think of something like this?

"Khushi,...listen to me...why will I do that? I can never do that, Khushi.."

"No...you had already done that...now...now I will not give you My Arnav ji...GO...GO away...he isn't coming to meet me...why isn't he coming to meet me?...why?" Khushi slipped in a corner.

Anjali looked at the girl, sitting in a corner and sobbing. Love has the power to do this? Can love make someone this helpless? If yes, then the thing she use to feel for Shyam ji wasn't love. She was not in love then! She wasn't!

Anjali's eyes abate little, understanding Khushi's insecurities. Khushi is insecure that she will take her Arnav ji away from her. Anjali doesn't know what had built this fear in her but this is not the right time to ask. She needs to understand her instead of questioning her. She needs to make her understand that Chhote and her Arnav ji are contrast. No one can take her Chhote away from her nor can take Khushi's Arnav ji away. He will always remain Chhote to her and Arnav ji for Khushi.

Anjali moved neared Khushi and knelt beside her.

"Khushi, no one will take your Arnav ji away from you. Do you understand, Khushi?" Anjali asked softly and kept her hand on Khushi's shoulder.

Khushi immediately jerked Anjali's hand away from her arm, in a process hitting the glass kept on the table beside her, causing it to fall and shattering in pieces.

Arnav had just completed ascending the stairs when he heard that noise. Arnav froze in his place, terror-stricken. The image of a frenzied Khushi with a knife in her hand flashed in front of him. The frozen legs suddenly coming to life as he ran towards his room as fast as his legs can take him

"Go away from here...You already took him away...that's...that's why...that's why he isn't coming to me...all this because of you...Since I came here...he didn't came to meet me...all this because of you...he didn't came because of you...He too lied to me!!...He too lied!!! He too only loves you...only cares about you...go from here!! I said go from here!!!! Go!!!!!" Khushi shouted at the top of her voice.

"Khushi?..."

Anjali turned to look at the worried Arnav standing near the door.

Arnav's eyes caught Khushi's small figure, slummed in a corner. Worried, he fled towards her.

"Khushi, what happened?" Arnav knelt beside her. But Khushi didn't replied.

Arnav looked at his Di, who was beside him.

"Di, what happened?" Arnav asked to his Di but didn't get any reply from here too.

Anjali got up from there without uttering a word and limped towards the exit.

Arnav looked at his Di's retreating back, confused. What has happened?

He again turned to look at Khushi.

"Khushi, what happened? Why are you crying?" Arnav asked, titling her chin up to look at him.

"She took my Arnav ji...She took him away...That's why he isn't coming to meet me...He too lied to me...Why no one loves me?...Am I that bad?...Why he loves her and not me?...he also don't love me...He too left me like Amma and Bauji...Why?...I too have to go to Amma and Bauji...hume jana hai unke paas ...hume koi pyaar nahi karta...hume jaana hai...aap hume jaane denge, please... Hume yaha nahi rehna...hume Amma Bauji ke paas jaana hai...please...hume jaana hai...jaana hai...please...please..." Khushi slummed against Arnav's chest.

Arnav slummed against the wall, taking her unconscious form with him. He buried his face in the crook of her neck. His tears of anguish running from his cheek and wetting Khushi's neck. What had he done? Why is she being punished for his sins? What has she done? Arnav buried her small frame in his big one. He cannot bear this. He can't bear to see her like this.

"I am sorry Khushi. Please don't do this to yourself. Punish me! I will do anything. But don't talk of leaving me. I CANT leave without you, Khushi. Please try to understand,please..." Arnav cried in the crook of her neck.

He lifted his head and looked at her tear drenched cheeks. Bending near her face, he softly kissed her slightly parted lips. Taking her in his arms, he got up from there and placed her on the bed. Covering her with the duvet, he moved towards the poolside.

"Dr. can you please come for your session?" Arnav asked in the phone, not wanting to sound desperate, needy , but failing miserably.

After getting an reply from the Doctor, he came inside the room to see Payal sitting beside Khushi and caressing her hair.

"Khushi?...Khushi get up...Khushi..." Payal tried to wake up Khushi, running her fingers in her hair.

Khushi opened her eyes, disoriented. She focused her gaze in front of her and saw her Jiji smiling at her.

Khushi smiled and sat on the bed, supporting her back against the headboard.

"Jiji..."

"Khushi, your breakfast. I had prepared your favorite dish." Payal smiled at her sister and placed the plate in front of Khushi.

Payal looked at Khushi to see some delight in Khushi's eyes but she got none. The smile instantly vanished from her face. But trying to smile, Payal lifted the plate in her hand. She took a piece of puri with sabzi and brought it near Khushi's lips.

Khushi without protesting, opened her mouth to take the morsel.

Payal saw her sister eating mechanically, the ardor missing. Her eyes filled seeing her sister in this state but she had no other option but to see her sister helplessly.

After feeding her, Payal got up from the bed and turned to leave the room but stopped seeing the man standing there.

Arnav saw Payal looking at him. Her eyes filled with only hatred. And he knew for whom that hatred was.

He deserves every hatred.

Precap ----

same precap(This time pakka ;)) (including this)

"Why am I feeling guilty Chhote? Why? Had I asked for this favor from you?! Tell me! She is hating me? Why? Why, Chhote??!!" Anjali asked angrily, shaking her brother by his collar.

"What should I do, Di? Tell me?! Just tell me!!! What should I do?!!" Arnav shouted back.

How was it? Hope you like it! And who is disappointed not seeing Raphael, he will be in the next part dearies ;)
