Awesome work! And reading the precap, I get why Arnav had tears in his eyes while apologising and the title of the story makes sense too. Great job. Update soon.

Hello everyone!

Sorry for not being able to post this part yesterday. Thank u so much for all the likes and comments for the previous part.Ur appreciation means a lot to me!Over to Part 6

Khushi: Aapse di ki kya baat hui?

Arnav closes his eyes in pain for a second,before opening them and looking at Khushi,with guilt.

Arnav holds her hands in his and kisses them.

Arnav: Khushi... aaj tak maine jab bhi tumhe hurt kiya,jab bhi tumhe rulaya,jab bhi tumhe dard dia,us sab k liye... (swallows hard) I'm really,really sorry!

Khushi cups his face and kisses his forehead.

Arnav: Aaj di ne nahi kaha hota toh shayad mujhe kabhi pata nahi chalta ki main kitna galat kar raha tha tumhare saath!.. Par ab jab mujhe ehsaas ho gaya hai (holds her hand and brings it close to his heart) I promise, main kabhi tumhe hurt nahi karunga!

Khushi smiles,eyes welling up with tears.

Arnav: No Khushi! Dont cry,baby!Aaj yeh aakhri baar hai ki meri wajah se tumhari aankhon mein aansoon aaye hain. Aage se... kabhi,kabhi aisa nahi hoga!

Khushi notices tears in his eyes.

Khushi:Arnavji... mat roiyye! Hamari aankhon mein toh khushi k aansoon hain! Hum aapse yeh sab sunne k liye.. taras rahe the! Aaj jab aapne yeh kaha toh.. apneaap ko rok nahi paaye!

They hug.

Khushi: Achchha ab bataiyye,di ne kya kaha?

Arnav: Shaam ko 6 baje k aas pas Aman ne bataya ki...
*Flashback*
Aman: Sir,mr. Sethi ka accident ho gaya hai isiliye woh aaj nahi aa payenge,so.. meeting postpone karni hogi.

Arnav: Ok.. Remind me, kal unhe phone karke unki tabiyat pooch loonga.

Aman: Ok sir. Next meeting,mr Bhardwaj k saath hai, 8 baje,followed by dinner.

Arnav: Hmm.. Leave. Main 8 baje conference room me pahuch jaunga,tum pehle se sab kuch ready rakhna.

After Aman leaves,Arnav closes his eyes,leans back on the chair and thinks about whatever happened since last night.

Arnav(thinks): Kya karu? Phone karunga toh uthayegi nahi aur.. landline par phone karunga toh.. sabke saamne baat kaise kar payegi?(sighs)Pata nahi ab tak uska gussa thanda hua bhi hoga ya nahi?

He looks at the two photo frames on the shelf.The two most important ppl in his life,his di and his wife-looking at their photos gave him strength during tough times.

Of course,one call to Khushi and all the tough times would be out the window!

Her sweet voice,her sweeter concern, her incessant blabbering, all soothed his nerves like nothing else could.

Though he always complained that her constant chatter drove him mad,which was true partly,truth ws that when she would not be around,he would miss her chatter a lot!

He was lost in her thoughts when his phone rang.

He nearly jumped out of his chair when he saw that it was Anjali who had called him.

Arnav: Di...! Kaisi hain aap?Aapka pair... theek toh hai naa?Aapko chalne me zyada problem toh nahi ho rahi hai naa?

He was really shocked to hear Anjali laughing.

Arnav(totally confused):Di!? Aap.. has.. rahi... hain?

Anjali(controlling herself):Aur kya kare Chhotey!? Aapka repeat telecast sunkar humein hasi aa gayi! Aapko pata hai?Aaj dopeher mein jab humne Chhoti ko phone kiya tha,tab unhone ne bhi humse yahi sab poocha. Woh bhi bilkul is hi tarah! Aap dono ki jodi k baare me kya kahe hum?

Arnav closes his eyes and sighs audibly on the phone.

Anjali(concerned): Chhotey?Kya hua? Aap.. (then she remembers HP telling her Khushi went with driver to her buaji's place and Khushi's sad tone when she said Arnav was in a meeting) Hey Bhagwan! Kahin aap dono ka jhagda toh nahi hua naa?

Arnav: Na... nahi di. Aisa.. kuch..

Anjali: Chottey,humse jhooth mat boliye! Aapko humari kasam hai,sach bataiyye,kya hua? Kis baat ko lekar jhagda hua aaj?

Arnav(helpless,gives in): Di... aaj nahi,jhagda toh kal raat se chal raha hai. Woh.. aap Khushi ki wajah se phisal gayi toh maine..

Anjali(interrupts): Aapse kisne kaha ki hum unki wajah se phisle?Usme humari hi galti thi. Hum Chhoti se batein karne me itne uljhe the ki humne step miss kar diya. Unhone toh humein pakadne ki koshish bhi ki,par humara haath unke haathon se phisal gaya. Hum diye k liye baati bana rahe the isiliye humare haathon me tel ki chiknai thi. Toh woh pakad nahi paayi humein.. Ab bataiyye,unka kya kasoor hai isme?

Arnav(shocked)Di..? Di.. yeh toh.. mujhe pata hi nahi tha! Oh Shit! Maine.. use befasool me kitna kuch suna diya aur..

Anjali(frowns): Aur? Chhotey aur kya kiya aapne?

Arnav(embarassed): Di.. maine gusse me aakar uski kalhai... zor se..

Anjali(disgusted): Phir se!?Chhotey,pichchle hafte hi humne aapko mana kiya tha naa,ki aapko chahe jitna gussa aaye,lekin Chhoti se baat karte samay aap apni taakat ka istemal nahi karenge?

Arnav: Ha.. di.. par main.. gusse me..

Anjali(interrupts him): Haa toh?Gussa humein bhi aata hain,nani ko bhi aata hai. Gussa toh sabhi ko aata hai ,Chhotey! Par gusse ko nikaalne ka yeh kya tareeka hua?Yeh zor zabardasti karna,kalhai marodh dena,baahein jakad lena,yeh sab kya achcha lagta hai? (she closes her eyes and sighs) Chhoti ko kitna dard hota hoga! Yeh socha kabhi aapne?

Arnav: Di.. main.. jaankar nahi karta. Mujhse gusse me ho jaata hai!

Anjali(swallows hard): Chhotey,sochiye, agar.. agar Shyam ne kabhi hamare saath aisa kiya hota, toh humein kaisa lagta? Aur aapko kaisa lagta?

Arnav(almost yells): Di...!

Anjali: Sochkar hi dard hua naa?Toh Chhoti k baare me sochiye. Unhe kaisa lagta hoga?Phir bhi,har baar,har baar woh aapko maaf kar hi deti hain. Picchle hafte,humne khudne unse kaha tha,ki Chhotey k paas mat jaiyye! Aap unhe maaf mat kariye! Lekin unhone mana kar diya!

A tear escapes Arnav's eye.

Anjali: Maa ne khat me jo likha tha,Chhoti ne aaj tak us baat ko mana hai.Aapka gussa sehen kiya aur pyaar sood samet lautaya,! Lekin iska matlab yeh toh nahi ki aap gusse me yeh sab kare! Achcha hua ki aaj Chhoti wahan chali gayi! Aapko is hi ki zaroorat hai, tabhi shaayad aap me badlaav aayega!

Arnav: Di please... aisa mat kahiye!

Anjali(really angry): Humne aapse jo kaha tha,kya aapne woh suna?Suna... lekin mana nahi! Aur..

Nani: Anjali bitiya...!

Arnav ends the call and throws the mobile on his desk.

He recalls what happened last week...
***
Anjali was passing by ArHi's room,when she heard Arnav shouting on Khushi.

She went towards the room and what she saw through the gap between the doors shook her.

Arnav was holding Khushi's arms and jerking her.

Arnav(hisses): Maine jab tumse kaha ki mujhe yeh sab pasand nahi hai,tab baat tumhari samajh me nahi aayi?

Khushi(tries to free herself): Chhodiye humein! Humein dard ho raha hain...!

Before Arnav could say another word,Anjali storms into the room.

Anjali(angry): Chhotey! Yeh kya kar rahe ho tum?

Arnav leaves Khushi's arms,totally shocked.

Arnav: Di?

Anjali walks past him and as soon as she sees Khushi's bruised arms,she flinches.

Anjali(places her hand on her cheek): Aap theek toh hain naa,Chhoti?

Khushi:Ha.. ha di.. hum..

Anjali: Aap aaiyye humare saath humare kamre me. Hum aapk0 dawai laga dete hain.

Arnav tries to protest,but in vain.

Arnav: Di.. main Khushi se..

Anjali: Humein tumse koi baat nahi karni hai Chhotey! Tum so jao. Aaj Chhoti humare saath humare kamre me soyengi.. Chaliye Chhoti!

She holds Khushi's hand and almost drags her alongwith herself.

Arnav:Di...

Khushi turns to look at him,with tears in her eyes and then turns back.

Arnav waits till both of them are inside Anjali's room and Anjali closes the door.

Then he goes outside Anjali's room and stands quietly on the side.

Anjali applies ointment on Khushi's arms.

Anjali: Humein samajh nahi aa raha hai ki aapse kya kahe?.. Chhotey ki taraf se hum aapse maafi maangte hain!..

Khushi: Nahi di.. aap kyun?

Anjali: Sach bataiyye,kya yeh pehli baar hai jo.. Chhotey ne aapse is tarah...?

Khushi doesnt say anything.

Anjali: Hey Bhagwan!

She hugs Khushi and places her hand on her head.

Anjali: Aap yeh zor-zabardasti kyun sehen karti rahi Chhoti? Aapne kisi ko bataya bhi nahi..?

Khushi: Di.. hum kisi ko kya batate? Humein khud hi ko samajh nahi aata ki unhe ho kya jaata hain?Woh kahawat hai na, pal me tola,pal me masha? Aapke bhai bilkul waise hain!

Arnav is embarrased hearing all this.

Khushi: Pal me itna gussa ho jate hain ki sab bhool jaate hain! Humein dard dete hain.. Aur phir jab humare sharir par chot k nishan dekhte hain toh bilkul badal jaate hain! Humein aise handle karte hain jaise hum koi kaanch ki gudiya hain! Aur.. hamara gussa thanda karne k liye.. dugna pyaar jatate hain..

Anjali: Toh jab woh aisa karte hain,aap maan kyun jaati hain?

Khushi: Hum kya kare? Hum waise hi unse zyada der tak naaraaz nahi reh sakte. Oopar se jab woh...

She is too embarrased to continue.

Anjali: Hum samajh gaye.. Par aaj aisa nahi hoga! Aaj aap yahi so jaiyye! Raat bhar aapke bina rahenge toh unki akal thikaane aa jayegi!

Arnav's jaw dropped in shock.

He was about to barge in the room,when..

Khushi(shocked): Raat bhar? Nahi di! Unka.. unka pata nahi,lekin hum toh mar hi jayenge!

Anjali(shocked): Chhoti! Aisi baat nahi karte! Areh,aap toh ajeeb hain? Abhi unse naaraaz thi aur ab khudh hi..

Khushi(interrupts her): Naaraaz hona ek baat hai,par ek hi ghar me rehkar,unse door rehna,alag kamre me rehna, ek alag hi baat hai di! Hum nahi kar payenge!

Arnav smirks and leans against the wall next to the door.

Anjali: Areh! Aap aisa karengi toh Chhote sabak kaise seekhenge? Apne aap ko mazboot rakhiye! Kya aap nahi chahti k woh badal jaaye?
