RECAP:

A leap of three months in which Khushi refused to speak to Arnav and is in Lucknow. Anjali is upset with Khushi on the Shyam faisco and her behavior towards Khushi has Arnav angry and upset. Anjali has decided to join AR against Arnav's wishes while Arnav is broken.

Part 11

Days passed by rather quickly for everyone in the world but for Him time stood frozen. He was the man who moved with time, if not surpassed it completely, fought to prove his point. He ruled his life, waged a war against his destiny and achieved everything he wanted.

As he lay under the covers on his bed he knew he had a few days left and the agony would end. His desire since the last 10 years would be fulfilled - he would meet his Ma. He counted down days to that time.

All affairs were set - his industry in the safe hands of his sister, his cousin well settled, his family happy! His heart ached reminding him of the only unsettled business - his Khushi. He wished all the strength with which he had governed his life fill her, for her upcoming life. She would live a long life, get married, have children and finally become a star. Then, maybe they could be together.

His room spun around him as her thoughts crashed his mind. As images of her with a faceless man ran into his brain and a sadness crept into him. The anguish at staying away from her, to watch her go, seeing her broken beyond repair and her Silence.

His eyes closed as darkness and emptiness engulfed him.

It had been three months since he had last heard her voice. Her broken voice broke him, and this time he could not mend his life.
Since the past three months he had steadily withdrawn from the world bit by bit. Staying inconspicuous letting others take charge. The zeal to prove himself to be the King had died and what remained was an empty shell, no longer a man with an aim.

Reluctant at first, he had let his sister handle AR. It was his final sacrifice for his sister, he had nothing more to give her, nothing more to share or lose. He had observed his sister's determination to run AR and a month into work she had adjusted fine; Akash could look after the rest.
He withdrew from AR, going to office less often, diverting meetings to Di and Akash and becoming less approachable. Steadily his presence and opinions decreased and others took his place.
He had offered his final sacrifice, his creation, his chair at AR to his Di last month. There was nothing more to give. The transfers had been made and the papers signed willingly by him and reluctantly by his sister. He withheld only a small share of AR now, as hope that maybe he would step in once again as his former self. But, his hope kept dying with each passing day.

He handed over the reigns of the house to Akash and Payal. It had been their rightfully, he was just a caretaker. He removed himself from family discussions and decisions, transferring the power of decisions to Akash indirectly. He was missed earlier, now they had forgotten him aswell. Occasionally Akash or Payal or Laxmi would drop by, pay him a visit coaxing him into a family affair or dinner but he rarely obliged.
His public appearances had reduced to nil as well, appearing only when required as a strong pillar of AR.

His relation with his sister had stagnated with him addressing her as 'aap' and also only when required never confiding. Also, he refused to be her pillar of support, allowing her to fight her own battles, to fight her insecurities always lurking in the shadows extending his hand only when required. Today, she was strong, independent and pragmatic.

She had come to him a month back just after his announcement of retirement, begging him to not go through. Asking for his forgiveness, conveying to him that she had realized her mistake and she would apologize even to Her. But, her apology stirred nothing but pain, he knew it was too late. The ultimatum had been given, the wheels of destiny set into motion. He was relieved that she had come out of denial and knew then everything would fall into place, he was no longer a necessity to the house he had created, brick upon brick.

Thus, everything in life had been sorted.

Only story he would leave behind was Khushi.

"Mr. Raizada, you need to get yourself admitted urgently. Your condition is worsening. I need to get the required body parameters in control other wise everything will fail."

He had given him one month and he had disregarded the doctor's advice, for he was given an option to be with his Ma. He choose Ma above all, because he needed her, even today. One month to set his family affairs and embark upon a new journey, a journey closer to home, his Ma.

His blood pressure was spiraling out of control so was his glucose level and is energy was also bare minimum. He could barely make it to his living room without collapsing today.
His family was in the dark, unaware of his decision, too busy with their lives, while he withdrew into a shell.

Payal had announced her pregnancy last week, his Di had taken up a new project, Nani was on another yatra while Mami and Mama were on a vacation. While La had married her ex flame, detective Arjun Ramesh, it was another story and she was on a much deserved three month honeymoon break.

Today, Payal, Akash and his Di were going to meet her in Lucknow while his health did not encourage this journey, he had stayed behind. The real reason he was unwilling to go was, he could not see her, the pain of parting with her again would be too much. He could not handle it anymore.

Today was six months to the day she had left him standing on her porch.

He had walked up to her house to talk to Her on this day six months ago. Apologize for his conduct, his sister's rude behavior and to profess his love to her. He had knocked on the door expecting a silent greeting from one of the members of the house but was greeted with a house abuzz with activity.
He walked to see the furniture draped, boxes of items marked and luggage. He had felt his heart beat erratically, thumping at a harder pace, missing a few beats while his brain tried hard to grasp the reality in front of him. Khushi had walked up to greet him, a half smile on her face, a sadness in her eyes.

"Namaste Arnavji!
We are leaving today. Thank you for all your help but I wish for another favor.
As I had stepped out of Lucknow I had never realized I would go back without Jiji, please protect her."

He had just nodded unable to say a word. Her thank you had felt like a mock to him, thought she had meant well. He had failed her when she had put faith in him, the once that she had trusted him.

"Khushi... Please"his voice barely containing his desperation to be heard. A request for the first time.
"Don't go. Please don't leave me. I will make everything right. I... Don't go."
She had shook her head then, tears brimming in her eyes and his, unsaid words vibrating in the space between them just before she closed her eyes and turned.

He had watched as the final essentials were loaded into the cab and the occupants of the house took their seats in the cab. She had turned as always, resting on all the things that she had come to associate as home. Het gaze lingered a bit longer on the man that stole her heart before the cab's engine sprung to life and miles of distance separated them and their failing hearts.

Arnav stood there watching the cab leave a lone tear escaping his eye.

***********

I know its touchy and I apologize to all who did not like it prehand. Dislikes are always welcome. Comment in your reviews, need your opinions on this one. 😊

UPNEXT:
