Khushi.. he uttered her name so painfully. She was innocent the whole time she was innocent. She didn't deserve to be treated like this. How can I be so cruel. I always saw that in her eyes which my heart wanted to believe but... That Poor girl, she accepted every decision of mine and I didn't make it easy on her.
He was in pain today. he had tears in his eyes. His beloved Khushi was innocent. His heart was bleeding with feelings of regret and anger upon himself. he wanted to go and hold her and tell her that Sorry khushi I am really sorry. I want to wipe away all your tears. I want to wipe all ur pain and bring back that smile on your face. and for that I will do anything .. anything
Khushi..., Car stopped making screeching noise. He rested his head on wheel.
He remembered all the insults , his abuse , he remembered her scared face, her sad face. What have I done. I can't forgive myself.
He just didn't want to go back anymore. But he had to. He had to go and gather strength and tell her how sorry he was and take any punishment she gives. Infact he wanted her to punish him. Get angry at him.
He reached RM. It was past midnight. Everyone was asleep. He went upstairs .. He was eager to see her face. There she was sleeping on bed. He went near her. He couldn't take it anymore he just sat beside her on the floor. Khushi ... he rested his head on the side of bed. He was crying. For the first time he was crying for his Khushi..
He looked up. Her hand !!! Her hand had bruises that he gave her today just for bumping on to him when he was ready to go to work. How ruthlessly he pushed her away. He touched those bruises with feathery touch.
"sss" and khushi turned. now her face was facing Arnav's face. She was still sleeping.
"I am sorry Khushi. so sorry" Arnav's vocie was shaking.
He held her hand. He kissed those bruises. That made khushi woke up.
"Arnavji" she didn't realize what was happening. suddenly she remembered his anger. She sat on the bed
"Arnavji hame maaf kar dijiye. Hame pata nahi nind kaise aayi. Ham hamare jagah jake so jate hai"
"khushi" Arnav got hurt to see how scared she was now.
"Arnavji ham uth rahe hai" Khushi tried to get up.
Arnav held her in hsi arms.
"Shhh khushi ruk jao"
Khushi stopped. she tried to escape. She wasn't sure what was going to happen.
Arnav stroked Khushi's back gently.
"khushi shhh why are u shaking khushi. Relax khushi I am not going to hurt you"
But that didn't help. Khushi had so many bitter experiences she couldn't trust him anymore.
"Khushi... I made a mistake today. I was so proud that there aranv singh raayjada kabhi galat nahi ho sakata. but no I made a huge mistake khushi. And mere galati ke liye I punished you. So unfair khushi. I know I can't ask for forgiveness. I know I am not worthy of you. But I have a hope. because of your pure heart. I just have a little hope that one day you will forgive me. I never expressed my love for you Khushi. I loved you khushi. I know I shouldn;t even say this. I don't have any right to say these things to you anymore"
"Arnavji?" khushi was surprised. she didn't know what was going on..
Arnav looked at her. His eyes had tears in them. He cupped her face and started telling her the whole story. From the episode where he saw Shyaam hugging her.
For the first time Khushi realized what was going on in Arnavs mind.
she heard it.
"Arnavji.. agar ek baar aap kahete hamse hame Anajali ko bachane ke liye shadi karani padegi. Ham jhat se haa kar dete. aapako jiji ki shadi rokane ki dhamaki dene ki koi jarurat nahi thi"
"Khushi I am sorry khushi" Arav couldnt say anything anymore.
"Ham nahi maaf kar sakate arnavji aapko. Aapane hamare pyaar ka apaman kiya hai. Ham aapse bahot pyar karte hai aranavji. lekin aap kabhi samajh hi nahi paaye"
Khushi started crying. sobbing. Arnav held her in his arms. getnly he started stroking her hair, back.
"khushi I am sorry.." he just kept saying that. This was the first time he was saying sorry these many times. He just didn't know how to make things right anymore.
Khushi felt arnav's tear on her shoulder. She looked at him. For the first time she saw that little boy in his eyes. that was so lost. so much pain in those eyes. He needs me.
"khushi I love you... I always loved you but I didn't underatand it khushi"
Now khushi kept her hand on his lips and she hugged him. and started sobbing. Arnav tried to make her calm. He held her close to his heart as much possible. He didn't want to let go of her. She was his. He was going to make everything right again for her. He was going to treat her like a princess. His princess.
"Arnavji" Khushi kept sobbing.
"khushi I am sorry.. "
"Ham bhi aapse bahot pyar karte hai arnavji. Aapake bina ji nahi sakate"

Arnav kept holding Khushi, stoking her back gently. "Shhh khushi bas ... " But today Khushi couldn't stop her tears. She acted really strong all these days, but now when Arnav held her so lovingly she couldn't control herself. She kept on sobbing and Arnav kept on holding her. He knew exacty what she was going through. Her hug is what he also needed.
"Arnavji" She said sobbing.
"Shh Khushi I know .. don't say anything" Arnav said it so lovingly. That made Khushi cry more..
Finally at some point She got exahusted , drained and she didn't realize when she felt asleep in his arms.. He gently held her and made her sleep on bed. Still holding her near him. He wiped her tears. He kissed her wet cheek.
"Khushi.. Till today I gave you nothing but pain.. But now I am going to shower you with love. Be ready for it" He smirked and kept on holding her as if he is holding a treasure.. never to let go. He couldn't sleep. He kept on looking at her peaceful sleep.
Khushi woke up in the morning. She found herself wrapped in 2 strong arms.. She felt Arnav's heartbeats so close. His warm breath on her face. She opened her eyes. Arnav was sleeping near her , Her sudden reaction was to get scared but slowly she remembered last night. She tried removing his hands. but his grip just got tighter.
"Arnavji"
Khushi tried to escape herself
"Arnavji"
Arnav opened his eyes. He saw khushi and he smiled
"Good morning Khushi"
"Arnavji aap hame chhod Dijiye"
"Hmm?"
Aranv realized that he was still holding her
"kyu?"
"Please Arnavji. Niche sab log intezar kar rahe honge. Hame chhod dijiye"
"No" Arnav just held her closer and closed his eyes. he slept so peacefully yesterday after so many days. he didn't want to let go of that feeling.
"Arnavji please..I can't breath."
Arnav's grip loosened. He didn't want to hurt her anymore. Khushi got out of the bed and went straight to washroom.
Arnav still remembering her touch was half asleep in bed.
He opened his eyes when he heard Khushi's bangles. Khushi was out of the washroom. She was wearing deep green Sari. She looked so fresh and tender. Arnav wanted to take her in arms. He got up and started coming near Khushi. Khusi realized Arnav's intentions. She didn't know how to react. as usual she moved back till she was cornered against the wall. Arnav kept both his hands arround her.
"Khushi" her name sounded so sweet .. She looked at him
"YOu are looking beautiful" he whispered in her ears. Khushi closed her eyes.
Arnav moved her hair from her face made her look up and he kissed her forehead.
"Arnavaji" Khushi was out of breath She opened her eyes. She still was feeling his soft lip touch. He wasn't going to stop now.
"Rukiye Arnavjl"
Arnav stopped. He could have gone further but he didn't want to do anything anymore which she didn't want to do.
"Khushi?"
He was puzzled.
"Arnavaji hamse nahi hoga.. hame maaf kar dijiye" And khushi escaped from his arms and ran downstairs
She was definitely hurt. But Arnav was going to make her fall in love with him again. He was going to win her heart again. He smirked.
