Great update! This is morping into an incredible story! I can't wait for the next update :D

Guys i am updating after a long time because honestly i am a little disheartened by the response to my stories. ppl send me PMs asking me 2 ping them wen i update & then later on dont even bother 2 open my PM.

Shattered Dreams is my favourite story which is very dear & close 2 my heart. Its my most loved baby. I understand that its a long FF & some ppl might ve lost interest/patience mid way & some might b new readers who r clueless reading the recent chapters.

one BIG request to all of u. In case u guys r interested only in my OS & occasionally my SS do message me so that i can create the PM list accordingly. I dont want 2 waste my time sending PMs to 350+ ppl 2 get only a handful of likes & comments.

I recently removed 30 ppl frm my list. Giving second chance to a few who ve not commented for a long time. u guys ll b next in the list. planning 2 bring my PM list down to 250. so 100 more 2 b removed. plz save time by simply unbuddying me or dropping me a PM.

also in movie terminology this is the interval/intermission for this story. 60-70% of the story is done. the next part ll reveal ARHI's past, shyam's role in this entire tragedy, arnav's gory past etc. The story is in the final leg of this painful & arduous journey. its currently reached page 122. after this intermission i want 2 start a new thread with the 2nd & final part of this story. Hence guys plz buck up & pour in ur comments so that this thread reaches 150 page so that i can start the next chapter in the new thread. this is a request to all u wonderful ppl who ve stood by me & motivated me to write more & write better.

Chapter 32

2011 Shanthivan Delhi

Arnav was floating gently, gliding lightly. He was buffeted by gentle breeze. His hair was tousled. The breeze was caressing him sensuously, stroking his senses, serenading him tenderly. He felt those honey lips. It was as gentle as morning dew tracing its painstakingly erotic path down a leaf tendril. It was as scorching as a hungry flame hungrily devouring the very same fragile tendril. It both soothed his senses as well as wreaked havoc in his soul. Those rosy buds reached his core & he felt raw heat oozing through each pore, each cell in his body. Those fingers were tapping a strange music of its own, a music which was raw & real which emanated from the bottom of the soul, a music which is hidden in the shady recess of the human mind, those dark secretive places where no one dared venture. How could a touch be musical as well as magical. It hurt as well as healed. He knew it was her. It has to be HER. Only she had the power to heal him, make him whole, make him human. Her angelic face drifted before his eyes. He smiled radiantly. But before his horrified eyes the face disintegrated. Then it slowly morphed into another face. Equally angelic but distorted in pain.

ARNAV. PLEASE''''''''''''''''''.

He wanted to reach her, comfort her, make her pain go away. He proffered his hand, offering his help but she continued to scream & plead.

ARNAV. PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY. PLEASE...

MAAA...

The scream jolted Kushi from her blissful trance. She looked up in horror to find Arnav's handsome face contorted with suppressed rage & fury. His eyes looked glassy & glazed. It had a faraway look as if he had been transported elsewhere. She could see the tears in his eyes.

Arnav... Arnav...

The angel was beckoning him. Her voice sounded muted. He wanted to leave, go towards the source of that musical voice but he couldn't let go HER hand. How could he ignore those eyes which reflected indescribable agony? Infinite pain which reflected in his eyes as well. But slowly he felt himself being pulled away from her, felt his fingers being pried away from the fallen angel, HIS fallen angel. Her screams were slowly getting distant & finally everything went silent. The silence scared him. Had he lost her again. She had asked his help & he had failed again.

NOOO...

His scream freaked out Kushi even more than was possible. She had never seen Arnav like this. Not even when he had found out her betrayal. Something was amiss. Why was he screaming for his mom. Her heart was pounding dangerously against her rib cage. The tension was palpable. Arnav was actually panting & she was scared at this transformation in him. He was almost looking like an animal. He looked at her with a murderous rage & her erratic heart almost skipped a beat. Had he not yet forgiven her. He looked murderous & she closed her eyes in fear.

The veil shifted & instead of the dark, all-engulfing blackness he suddenly spied a tiny ray of light. It beckoned him promisingly. He held his hand towards it, touched it longingly. The light grew brighter & slowly the angelic face drifted back into focus. He almost broke down out of relief. It was HER. She had come for him. She had not deserted him. It was she who had called out for him, pulled him from the brink, saving him from tumbling into the black abyss of no return. She was his anchor in this raging storm, an anchor to safety, sanity, sanctity. Finally all that mattered was her. As long as she was there beside him, there was hope. He would survive. He had chances of healing.

Kushi...

It was barely a hoarse whisper. A desperate plea. Kushi's eyes flew open. One glance at his haunting face with those eyes which reflected a sea of pain, angst & her heart shattered all over again. His eyes those mesmerizing, chocolate iris had taken on a hunted hue & her breath hitched in her parched throat.

Arnav...

She whispered. The next second he had launched himself on her almost crushing her, hugging her tightly.

DON'T LEAVE ME. DON'T EVER LEAVE ME. PROMISE ME. PROMISE ME KUSHI. PROMISE ME THAT EVEN IF U HATE ME FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE ME. PROMISE ME KUSHI OR KILL ME.

He broke down completely. She returned his embrace with equal ferocity.

I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ARNAV. I PROMISE YOU. I WILL NEVER HATE YOU AND NEVER EVER LEAVE YOU EVEN IF YOU HATE ME, EVEN IF YOU HURT ME. IT'S A PROMISE.

Arnav stared at her for what seemed like eternity. He collapsed on her lap, closed his eyes & continued to hug her tightly.

She stroke his ruffled hair tenderly with one hand while patting him gently with the other.

"Sleep my baby. Sleep." She crooned gently.

He was sleeping in his mom's lap. Her bangles tinkling merrily.

"Sleep my baby. Sleep." She crooned gently.

It felt heavenly as well as heady. He obeyed the command & slept. Sleep washed over his wasted soul, offering temporary succor to his broken heart. This was that rare occasion when he slept unmindful of the long, nightmarish nights earlier or the dreary nights to come in the future. Today is what mattered & today he was safe in her arms, all his pain & loss momentarily forgotten.

He was at peace.

ok folks how about taking a shot at predictions once more. how many ppl can try predicting wat happened to arnav in his past. w'd b fun reading all ur creative ideas.
