FF : I Feel Nothing. Updated Part 40 - Page 17

The Door flew open.

Arnav couldn't believe what he saw.

Khushi.

Mad.

Madder than hell!

Furious. She ran towards him and pushed him on his chest saying, "HOW DARE YOU!? Why have you done this! Why?! Why!? Why!?"

She hit him and pushed him until she was exhausted...and she finally clung to his shirt...holding on...her breathing rapid and uneven...

Arnav took everything. Let her hit him. His heart was filling with hope. He stood watching the love of his life...starting to FIGHT! Fight back! He knew she wouldn't just suddenly fall in his arms and swoon. He knew she had to deal with all that had happened. He deserved more punishment than this. For dragging her through all this torment. And now...as she clung to him, still trembling in fury...he looked to the sky...silently thanking God...she was coming back. She was feeling again.

Khushi pushed him away..."you...you have done this to me... I was FINE! I wasn't hurting anymore! I felt nothing! And now..." she staggered back...starting to get dizzy...

Arnav rushed forward holding her as she almost fell..."no...no...i don't want to feel...no...no..."She kept repeating..."Khushi...i love you...i love you...i love you..."

For every "NO" Arnav said "I LOVE YOU"...

Khushi looked up into his eyes...he wasn't smug. He wasn't about to get up and make her feel lesser for feeling again...he looked at her with so much love, so much concern...

She slowly moved away from him and ran from the room...

Arnav Fell to his knees on the floor tears starting to come...Her heart was resurfacing! And this time, he wouldn't let ANYTHING or ANYONE hurt her.

...

The next few days were incredible. Arnav saw Khushi evolving. He spent as much time with her as he could. Even made her smile at times...even though she tried to hide it...his heart was starting to soar. He was willing to do this forever.

Soon Akash came to the kitchen ..." Bhai, the meeting will be at 2pm. At the office, just reminding you."...and he started to leave when Arnav spoke up..."no. i'm not leaving. We'll have the meeting here. That's final." Akash just nodded and left.

At 2pm Arnav tore himself away from Khushi saying he'd only be 10 mins. Told her not to worry that Anjali and Nani were home if she needed anything. Khushi nodded. And went back to cooking...

Arnav couldn't concentrate. He kept looking towards the kitchen hoping she'd walk out...hoping to hear her...

...

Khushi was in the kitchen thinking out loud..."Arnavji is being so caring. When i look at him i feel...i feel...i FEEL..."

"you feel what..." said a slimy voice from behind...

Khushi spun around to see her worst fear. Shyam. Standing there leering at her.

"khushiji, i have missed seeing you in the kitchen making jalebi...would you like some help?"

"How did you get here? You were out. Why are you here? I don't want to be around you. Haven't you learned anything yet!" Khushi spat out at him.

"Khushiji i told you that i wouldn't leave you. That i'd take you away from here..." he smirked walking towards her...

Khushi, suddenly afraid for herself, only wanted one thing...Arnav! She needed him! NOW!

"Arnavji!!!!!"
