is hilarious!!! 😆
And yeah, will try to update ASAP!! 😃

great update!!!!!

Hey harshi,

Loved the update.. U know I was so waiting for ArHi encounter.. & the truth to come out to both of them..

Arnie Lover boy is totally heart broken.. One person he trusted most and loved most and opened up to the only person.. but she's the one who mistrusted him the most.. without giving him a chance to clear things up!! Chuck.. Khushi's put herself into this soup on her own!! She lost Arnie's trust bcoz of her own foolishness... Now she's has a mountain to climb.. to win back his trust & love & might be hard for Arnie to forget this ever and get back to the same comfortable level as he was before!! Ahhh... CHILD.. what did u do?? My Arnie boy is so broken bcoz of u!! 😭😭😭 Aab jao and give everything and get him back!!

Super loved it harshiii!! 🤗 Just a request.. don't make it simple for Khushi here.. & plsss don't make Arnie forgive her easily.. just bcoz she had an accident or she's limping and crying or anything!! She would totally deserve if Arnie's angry and isolated from her in this situation!! She called it upon herself.. This is not a small matter.. loving someone & then, not believing him but some stupid pics & leave him to wonder each second of his life as to what lacked in his love that she left him & did he deserve it??? answer is NOOO!! So, plsss make sure she has a uphill task of manaofying Arnav!!

Btw... did I mention I super super super loved Arnav slapping LA hard!! Ahhh... mere dil ko sukun mil gaya!! 😈😈 Now it's Khushi's turn to face his anger.. of course not for long!! but ya, Khushi tears can't win him back this time.. do everything u can and win his love back!! Go girl.. get him back!! 😳😳😳

Soo waiting for the next update..

Okay guys. . . Some of you wanted to make Khushi suffer due to her silly behavior, and make Arnav angry 😡
And some of you didn't want to make her suffer, as she had already hurt herself. . . 😒

So I came up with something in between!!!

And Hershi wanted Arnav to leave Khushi and end up with her!! But I thought you'd not like it that way!! 😆 😆 😆

Well.. Read on. . . . . 😳

Part 23:

"Arnav.. Arnav..!" Khushi ran behind him, ignoring the stinging in her legs. When she almost reached the door, she collapsed, unable to catch up with him.

Arnav dismissed the driver, and pulled out the car in which he had arrived yesterday, and drove away. Mya and Aditya watched all this in a daze, and looked at each other, before Mya rushed to Khushi's side, and Aditya ran out of the gate calling his brother.

Khushi sobbed as Mya hugged her trying to console her, and she couldn't help herself as tears rolled out of her eyes too... Aditya took them both inside, and made Khushi lie down on her bed. As she cried unstoppably, he brought Mya outside and told her, as he wiped the tears off her face,"You are crying too! Be strong and console her. Please..."

Mya frowned and nodded, as she asked "But. . . . Where did your brother go??"

"That is a million dollar question now! And he doesn't even know this city!!" Aditya said as he scratched his head.

"Erm.. Where would you go if I had left you??" Mya asked.

Aditya's eyes went wide, as he gasped and stared at her in shock. Mya chuckled as she put a hand on his cheek and said, "Don't worry baba! I'm just asking what would you have wanted to do in such a situation??" Aditya took her in his arms, as if he was afraid of this concept. He seemed thoughtful and said, "I think I'd have liked to drink. A lot! And squander in self pity!!"

Mya pursed her lips to stop her laughter. "Go then. Search your brother before he drinks Bangalore down!" she said, and Aditya went out after grinning at her. Mya went to sit beside Khushi.

Aditya went in search for Arnav in all the bars nearby. And he was about to give up when he found Arnav huddled in a dingy bar. He was almost wasted.

"I've made her life a living hell Adi! I've sent men to cease her passport. She won't get any job. Her bank accounts are ceased too!" Arnav yelled triumphantly. "Whom are you talking about, bhai??" Aditya asked, knowing he was talking about Lavanya. Aditya had never seen a drunk Arnav before, and he realized that he absolutely loved his brother this way.

"The wh*re who ruined my life! Lavanya!!" Arnav said her name with disgust.

"But bhai. Your life isn't ruined! Khushi Di has realized her mistake now. You can have her back!! You WILL take her back, won't you?!" Aditya asked, hoping Arnav wouldn't do anything rash now.

"Of course I'll take her back! Tell you what? I had never left her in the first place! She is, and always will be mine! My child!!" Arnav said, his voice all tender when he called Khushi his child, which made Aditya laugh out loud. "I've heard 'baby'!! But "child"?! Seriously, bhai??!!"

"You won't understand. . . ." Arnav said as he smiled looking at a far distance. Aditya smiled, as he answered, "Trust me bhai! I DO!!"

Arnav looked at Aditya for a moment before he said, "Mya is a good girl. Never let any sl*t come in between you and her!!" Arnav declared. *Okay Mya. . . Earth calling!! Hellooo. . . . .*

Aditya nodded, as he asked if he'd like to go back. Arnav nodded as he tried to stand up. Aditya supported him and took him to Khushi's place.

Khushi, on hearing Arnav's voice rushed to the living room, and saw that Arnav was drunk. "Wo.. Di.. As far as I know, he never drinks..." Aditya explained. "He never drinks..." Khushi said too, as she came straight to Arnav and hugged him tight. Arnav hugged her back too. Aditya and Mya looked at each other and smiled, before they silently took leave. Khushi felt Arnav stagger, making her pull back.

She towed him with difficulty to her room, and made him lie down, before she herself slept next to him. She stroked his forehead and felt a wave of sadness crash upon her. How she had hurt him! How could she live with herself after putting him through so much?! If only I had trusted him! She thought, as she bent and kissed his forehead, and his lips. Arnav sighed, and his lips curved in a small smile in his sleep.

Khushi smiled amidst her tears watching him smile.

She didn't even know if he wanted her anymore. And she felt so ashamed of herself, even the thought of standing in front of him to apologize made her almost run away!

'No!! Don't you dare do anything like that, again!!' Her mind chided. She snuggled against his hard form, wondering whether she'd get any other chance at this. And somewhere along the night she fell into a dreamless sleep.

Khushi woke up at 5, as she had got used to that habit, since her accident. She had to go for yoga classes. She wormed her way out of Arnav's arms, and wrote a letter for him. She set an alarm on his cell phone and put the letter, along with a glass of water and a few aspirin tablets for the head ache he'd get from his hangover, on the side table. She kissed his lips one last time, and hoped this won't be the last time. That this won't be the goodbye kiss. And she left for her yoga class.

Arnav woke at the incessant sound of his cell phone. He snatched it from the side table, and pressed random buttons until it stopped howling. He opened his eyes wondering why he had kept an alarm for 6.30 in the morning. It took him a few seconds before last night's events came back to him. "Khushi??" he called out before his eyes fell on the letter on the sidetable. He put away the tablet on it, and opened the letter.

Arnav,

How I wish I could take this all back!

I know you may be very angry, and hurt. I'm truly sorry. For putting you through this, and in the process, hurting myself. Both physically and mentally.

After all this, all I can do, is to hope against all hopes, that you still want me in your life.

If not, I have a request. I've gone for my yoga class. Please leave before I come back, and I'll understand.

Yours forever,

Khushi Singh Raizada.

PS: I've put a few tablets for your head ache. Please take them.

PPS: I LOVE YOU. More than ever.

Arnav rolled his eyes, and sighed once, as he put aside the letter, and took those tablets as his head felt like it would crack in two pieces anytime soon. He found a spare toothbrush on the bathroom counter, and brushed his teeth, before he lied back again, waiting for the pain to recede. At about 7'o clock, he heard the door open, and heard Khushi rush in.

Arnav got up and leaned against the headboard, as he saw her stand near the door. Her eyes darted to the letter, making sure that he had stayed back even after reading it. She allowed herself a small smile as she slowly neared him.

As Khushi went to him, she wondered what she should speak! She put an uncertain hand on his forehead and asked, "How's your head ache?"

Arnav leaned his head more into her hand, and closed his eyes when she put her hand on his forehead, that simple contact bringing about the same peaceful feeling, which he had missed all these days. She snatched her hand away, and much to Arnav's annoyance, left the room!

Arnav rolled his eyes, and sighed, as he went out of the room to see where she went. She was in the kitchen, pulling out random things. Tears were coming out of her eyes, as if her eyes had a mind of their own. Khushi stiffened as soon as she felt him, but continued as if she hadn't noticed him. He leaned on the door jamb, waiting for her to react.

"Aren't you going to talk??" Arnav asked her, not able to see her in so much of grief.

Khushi stopped her work, as she stood still. Arnav went to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Khushi??"

Khushi threw her arms around his neck, making Arnav stagger at the unexpected movement. "I am soo... sooo. . . sorry Arnav!! I. . . I don't deserve this. . . I don't deserve you!! And you're not even. . . mad anymore!!" Khushi sobbed, and tried to speak simultaneously. Arnav just held her tight, not saying anything.

"Why Khushi? Why did you do this?? You didn't trust me. Yes. But leave everybody?! How could you???" Arnav asked.

Khushi pulled back and wiped her tears, as she answered, "When I. . . When I thought I. . . I couldn't have you. . . . Nothing else mattered. . . I. . . I didn't want anything else. . . . So. . . ."

"So?? You left me to myself. I, who didn't even know all this, sat there, day after day, wondering WHERE you could have gone!! And WHY would you leave me!!! But you hurt yourself and that is what bugs me so much more than my own hurt. . . . . . . What a mess you've made, Khushi!!!" Arnav said.

Khushi noticed he had called her Khushi, and not the usual 'child', and she felt one more bout of tears coming up at that. She controlled herself, as she nodded bleakly, and said, "I know. . . . . . . Will you give me one more chance, Arnav? Just one. To make it up to you?"

"We're going to Delhi tonight. I don't want to talk anymore regarding this." Arnav said in a stern voice, as he went out. Khushi followed him to see that he had gone to Aditya's place.

He hadn't said anything about forgiving, but he hadn't actually pushed her away. This meant that she just had to put more efforts now!! More efforts to set things right. Things which she had spoiled herself, due to her foolishness. . . . . . . . .

If it wasn't good, you have only Hershi to blame!! Because she was the one who forced me to post this even though I wasn't satisfied with it!!

But if you liked it by any chance, you can always give me the credit!! 😉 😆 {By clicking on 'LIKE' and/or leaving me comments} 😳 😆

*Edited*

Aww! Atleast even in his drunken state he wanted to go back to his Khushi! Wonderful update Harsh👏 Can't wait to see how she's going to make it up to our dear Arnav 😉

Thanks for the pm hun! Can't wait to read more

Res😊 running back to read it now!!

Hmm.. This time I don't know what to say! As always I love it.. but somewhere it felt incomplete to me.. I'm gonna be honest to u!! Like I mentioned before.. Arnav in ur story is total cutie-pie!! 😳 He's selfless, more matured & loves Khushi 100x more that Khushi loves him!! I knew he won't be able to stay away from her or be rash or harsh with her at all!! It's his love for her.. But it was easy on Khushi!! Even though Arnav hasn't forgiven her but at the same time u didn't put in much effort to ensure here that Khushi feels the pain he went through completely!! Blaming someone for infidelity & just getting an easy way out... hmmm!! I mentioned to u.. I'm not a easy forgiving person, so maybe that's why I feel this way!! 😕

But I loved how u portrayed Arnav's feelings here!! He's someone who loves Khushi to the core.. he did everything in his power, infact more than he could, came out of his shell and loved her beyond just words!! He's hurt by the person who he loves the most.. He got drunk.. in that unconscious state expressed his love & his longing for Khushi.. I hope Khushi would come out of her CHILD persona now & see how much damage she has caused!! Make it up to him... He's hurt, not angry, which is what I loved!!

Now, don't get disheartened with my comment here, harshi!! U know I love ur writing & have loved each & every update & the way how story goes!! So, I'm gonna give u brownie points for portraying Arnav's feelings awesomely!! But will love to see Khushi stepping up now & not be a cry baby that she is.. (sorry abut that.. I'm not at all an emotional person.. kinda ASR persona, I believe.. so, can't stand tears & cry babies) Hope to see her climbing a mountain here to win back Arnav's trust & love!!

Loved the write up!! Also, I'm loving Adi & Mya... they r cutie-pie's.. very sweet!! 😳

Waiting for the next one!! & ya, u said blame hershi if I'm not happy!! ok.. I'm after her with my broom stick (the one with pink furs 😆) OK hershi, u run after harshitha for making me come behind u instead of her! 😆😆 Just kidding.. Love u guys!! 🤗
Again.. plss update the next one soon!!

pretty good one though poor guy got himself drunk
