Part 2
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Arnav bridged the gap between them, each step leaving his mark on the wet grass.He could see her standing there,her eyelids tightly shutting down his existence.Every single day that tiny pin still pricked his conscience-why hadn't he believed her ?
His face screwed into an expression of repentence when he remembered his fingers curling around her wrist pressing it hard .A tender blossom crushed -it doesn't take a moment to snuff life out a bud but it takes days for a flower to live again.
He understood.
Until it was too late to do so.
His own wife cowered away from him ,forgiveness doesn't come easy with what she had suffered.Today he is going to take a small step to mend it.It is little things which make a big difference after all.She tightly pressed her eyelids praying hard-the innocent perspective which made children believe "If you can't see them,they can't see you either".She frantically murmured''NO!I won't give in to his demands.I am Khushi kumari gup...''her voice trailed away.
"Khushi singh Raizada"his husky voice fell on her face leaving a tingling sensation.
She decided to retort angrily-if he thought now he could make up for those two weeks of torture he was wrong,but words failed when his hand went up to the small of her back pulling her closer.She shivered - a pleasant shiver which ran up all over her body.
She slowly opened his eyes to meet his melting brown ones.They showed repentence.She didn't need words,her heart melted into a puddle of emotions where his face splashed about - each drop leaving her awestruck.
"Dance with me?"Arnav whispered.
And before she could nod in reply he had already grasped her hand-her fingers fit perfectly, as if the spaces between his fingers had always waited for her's to sneak in.They danced in the curtain of raindrops enveloping them ,reflecting the radiance they showered- like diamonds emblazoned in a crown of love.
She twirled around him,holding onto his finger.Her hair flew with every turn,sometimes brushing against his face leaving droplets on his cheeks.They danced in solace,not for anyone else,not for the world to see-only for themselves.
They danced until they finally collasped into each others arms.
"Arnav"Khushi silently whispered,she could hear the deep breaths he was taking.
"I'm sorry Khushi..You don't know how I..."he broke away his tears engulfing his words.
She pulled away and held onto his arms, looking bewildered.His eyes moist,drowning into an ocean of despair.He looked towards the sky and she followed his gaze.
"Are the happy?Will they ever forgive me when they see the things I have done to you and those around me?"Arnav questioned her.
"Everyone makes mistakes-but it's only those who forgive are big hearted and those who ask for forgiveness are even bigger hearted! Today, for a fact I know they forgave you"She confidently smiled.
Arnav gave a small smile but still stood confused.
She gently led her hand to his chin and tilted his head backwards.Raindrops fell on his face."Look at their happy tears falling down-their son is no longer the Raizada he had turned into,he is back to the Arnav they once knew."she whispered.
He smiled now,his eyes reflecting joy-"Happy Anniversary mom and dad!"
He picked her up ,his strong arms holding her ,her magenta dupatta flying about-they stood in paradise ,drenched in love,a place they never felt like leaving again-ever.
