Wow what an story ashu, this made me cried, superb writting , I speechless, thanks 4 the pm and pls try to continue this

This is now an SS! We'll see if it can be an FF but for now an SS! Thank you guys for showering so much love to this new idea. (I honestly thought it was gonna be a flop lol!) I was gonna update tomorrow but I couldn't help it!

She ran up to me with tears in her eyes and gave me a much needed kiss. It had been so long since I felt the taste of these lucious plump lips. They were dry though and ragged. She looked like a wreck and that was because of me. Why is that I am always the reason for her misery? Why can't I just make it all go away? She cried into my old, worn-out clothes.

"Why are you doing this?" She grabbed the edge of my shirt (where the collars usually are) demanding answers.

"Doing what? Khushi how many times do I have to tell you, I COMMITTED THE DAMN MURDER! I am your father's murderer. I killed him!" I said as I freed myself from her.

Khushi looked up to my face.

"Of course, is that why you treated him like your own dad? Is that why you saw your dad in him? Is that why you worshipped him? Is that why you paid for his hospital bill?"

"Khushi please..." I said.

"No Arnav! I KNOW you're innocent. My heart tells me that you cannot commit murder! You KNOW what it feels like to have parents snatched away from you! You would NEVER do something like this. All the proof maybe against you but MY HEART DOESN'T NEED ANY DAMN PROOF! I can understand your every heartbeat and when they came to arrest you, you didn't feel guilty rather devastated! I know your innocent but why are you doing this to us Arnav? Why? Do you have any idea how I survived this incident. How I survived listening to people badmouthing you, reading newspaper article, magazines that criticize you? Your respect is mine and I can't tolerate anything against it! Your life is mine and I AM NOT WILLING TO SACRIFICE IT!"

I used to love Khushi but now I respect her too. She knew me more than I knew myself. No matter what the world said, she would remain at my side like Sita for Ram. I looked at those big brown eyes. The ones that always managed to make all my pain go away and bring me all the happiness in the world. Even in situations like this. The only difference was that I couldn't do anything about this. Why does god make me choose, if I sacrifice myself than I'm sacrificing Khushi too. She deserved better. But if I say the truth, than Di, the woman that raised me, the one who made me who I am today, will die. She won't be able to handle it. What do I do? What kind of dilemma is this?

"What's the point Khushi? Why do you still think I'm innocent? Even if I am, who's gonna believe that?"

"I AM." She said right away.

"I am Arnav. I always knew you were innocent! We should take action right away, I am going to send a request to re-open this case. And you'll be out of here in no time!" She said as she cupped my face kissing it all over.

"Khushi, wait. If I WANTED to prove myself innocent than why would've I hired the worst lawyer possible. I'm Arnav Singh Raizada for crying out loud, I could hire top-notch lawyers if I wanted but I DON'T!"

"What is it that you have with the criminal? Why do you not want them to get caught? Why are you suffering for their deed? No Arnav! I simply cannot let this happen! If you want we can fight this case just to prove you innocent. We don't have to get to the murderer but please I need you out of jail immediately. I can't stand to see you like this." She cried.

I couldn't see her like this anymore either she was dying, her smile, the twinkle in her eyes, it was all gone...because of me. "Fine. But I will not hire a lawyer."

"Fine. I don't care. I'll go meet the judge right now and get a bail."

***

"So as you can see my lord, many questions remain unanswered and the motive for murder still hasn't been found, we should reopen the case as the first trial was a bit too abrupt."

"Of course Ms. Gupta. I cannot believe we let such vital facts go unnoticed."

"And one more thing my lord."

"Yes."

"Well since Mr. Raizada hasn't been proven guilty yet, he shouldn't have to live in the cell anymore. So could you please..."

"Yes of course. Here are the bail papers."

"Thank you."

"Oh and Ms. Gupta, is it true your fighting the case, I mean without a degree in law?"

"Yes sir, I know enough to tell the difference between guilty and innocent and that's what I intend to do in the court room."

***

I came out of the police station for the first time in 1 whole month. It was all so familiar yet so unknown. I felt as if my identity was erased. From Arnav Singh Raizada all I was left at was Prisoner #6611.

I stood there outside my house. I didn't want to go in.

"It's ok. I'm here with you aren't I?" She said as she took my hand in hers and took me inside. I saw a new Khushi today, a fearless, audacious girl who was taking the biggest risk of her life.

I hope you liked it! Like I said this is not my genre of writing but I guess the emotion of pain is very moldable as well. I hope you like the new way of looking at the whole Shyam's truth fiasco. Even my heart pains to write Arnav and Khushi going through this. Again I really hope you liked it but I am widely open to criticism!

Love you all from the bottom of my heart!

I should be getting to sleep now! PMs in a few or tomorrow!

'Till Then,

Ashu <3
