Re-cap: Khushi has to wear Arnav's cloths since she doesnt have any loose enough for her plastered feet...

PART 8:

The clicking open of the bathroom door brought him out of the virtual world of his laptop and he turned around.

Khushi slowly limped out, her hair soaking with a few water droplets trickling down. Her eyes were huge, and light doe ones. She had no make up on and looked exceptionally adorable in his big and baggy track pants and what seemed like a huge jumper on her. The sleeves coming in the way giving her difficulty drying her hair.

He was mesmerized. He got up and slowly walked over to her. She went still when she noticed him so close. He took the towel from her hands and put it aside. He took each of her arms and folded the sleeves up gently. He helped her over to the bed's edge and seated her there. All the while never taking his eyes of her child like face. A light smile started to appear. He carefully cut the plastic bags open and removed them.

She couldn't dare look into those great orbs of chocolate. Her entire being trying the control her nervous system. But it wouldn't respond cause of the electric surges flowing through it.

A knock on the door made her flinch making her hair release the light rain it held splashing him out of his trance. He immediately stood up and went to get the door.

"Arnav bhaiya, Anjali Ji is calling you for breakfast." Said a meek Om Prakash.

"Ok, tell her we will be right down." Arnav said.

He turned to see Khushi getting up to put the towel away. He walked over to her and held his hand out. "Om Prakash will put it away, you need to eat something to take your medicine."

She hesitated a little before placing her hand in his knowing that she will never make it to the door of the room let alone down the stairs without a support.

Everyone was chattering about one thing or the other. The dinning table look like a busy bee hive buzzing with the excitement of a new day. Mami was going on about last night's party's gossip, filling in a very uninterested Nani and bubbling- with- joy- for- life Anjali on all the latest scoops while fitting in a taunt towards Payal every now and again. While Payal, indifferent to Mami's taunts ,severed breakfast to her darling who was admiring the love of his life. The table would go into a wave of giggles when ever Mama would pass a witty comment on something Mami said or did. Followed by the fake pacifying of a sinister and cunning Shyam. Though, everyone at the table admired him for being the best son-in-law, husband, and brother-in-law he showed himself to be.

As Payal was about to put another spoon of halwa for nani, her hand stopped in mid air, she froze with her head turned toward the stairs. Slowly everyone's gaze followed hers. Suddenly all the buzzing died out. They were all trying to process the back story of what stood in front of them.

Arnav held Khushi's hand as she leaned on his shoulder. They limped together towards the stairs. Before Khushi could place her foot on the first step she felt herself floating in mid air as Arnav gently cradled her down the stairs in his arms, looking at her with so much affection that it scared her.

As they reached the bottom of the stairs they felt suffocated being engulfed by the family members who were now in waves of concern. Arnav in particular was being hurled at with accusatory questions left, right and centre about how he doesn't take care of Khushi

"Chote what is this??!" Anjali yelled in horror at seeing the petal like feet of a delicate Khushi wrapped in plasters.

"Yes Arnav bitwa, what happened??!!" came nani's tense voice.

"calm down everyone and let Khushi sit down, and give them a chance to answer your questions.." Mama said in a comforting tone, calming things.

Everyone watched anxiously as Arnav helped Khushi sit down and lifted her feet placing them on a foot rest.

"oh ho, hello- hi bye- bye ---" Mami started on her usual dose of tunats but was stopped cold in her tracks by a icy stare from Nani.

"Di, ..--" Arnav began, his mind rattling with trying to come up with an excuse.

"Di, Nani,..last night one of the vases fell over and broke'" began Khushi. Arnav just looked at her, those were the first words she had said all morning.

".. and I stepped on some of the shards while getting the broom and dust pan'.its nothi--" she continued but was stopped by an irritated Arnav

"NOTHING?? You have god knows how many stitches!! Your unbelievable!!" said Arnav almost yelling.

"But ho--" Anjali still concerned was broken off.

"its ok Di'.really.." Khushi said still taken aback by Arnav's sudden outburst, though she wasn't the only one.

"Chote you should take care of Khushi, shes your wife now. And Khushi, you need to be more careful. Payal go and get some pain killers." Nani with all her wisdom started to lecture in her sternest of tones.

Teary eyed Payal nodded but was stopped by Arnav.

"No, that's ok. The doctor has prescribed some, but she needs to eat something first, and we need to go and get her wounds dressed'" said Arnav calmy.

He helped her to the table and sit her down. Payal put some food in a plate and brought it over. Seating herself next to her beloved, silly sister she put a bite of halwa puri in her mouth.

Soon things calmed down and the table was buzzing once again with why Khushi was wearing Arnav's cloths and how adorable she was looking with her ruffled hair still a little damp and the big sleeves and hood of the jumper and big tracks. All the while Anjali and Nani teased, Arnav acting indifferent to their words and glancing at Khushi every now and again, Mami making faces and all.

No one noticed Shyam had slipped out.

He was furious. 'HOW DARE HE HURT HER!!' he thought to himself while stomping along the roadside, his fist clenched and his teeth grinding against each other. 'I should've never left her alone last night' slapping himself mentally.

Mean while at back at RM, they both remained quite glancing at each other every now and again only to meet each other's eyes. Khushi sat quietly as she took nibbles of the food in her plate. She finally got Payal to calm down and stop feeding her.

After what seemed like forever everyone started to get up. Mami got up while yelling into her phone about some spa appointment while Mama got up shaking his head at his load but secretly loving wife. Nani retired to her room while Anjali got up trying to get her ever so loving husband on the phone. As everyone started to conclude breakfast, Payal started to clear things up with the help of Om Prakash. Akash got up to go to work. Arnav told him that he'll be a little late since he had to take Khushi for her appointment.

Even though there were some many people, they all seemed to disappear into their own world in a flash, leaving a scared, confused, and hurt couple alone, throwing them back into their isolated cold snow globe which someone seemed to be shaking relentlessly. What they didn't know was that when the shaking would stop, their world would look more beautiful than anything, with soft snow flakes floating down, waltzing in the air with each other as they did. Everything would go still'peaceful with only the rhythm of their joint heart beats to dance to. Weary, Khushi and Arnav still just kept glancing at each other.

As he eventually came around and helped her up, Arnav couldn't help but notice that Khushi looked like she had just landed on this planet'. possibly from heaven. She was untouched..anew. She had no make up on what so ever, her hair was simply stroked once, roughly by her brush. Although plain, her skin, her hair seemed to glow. Her hands were gloved for the millionth time as the jumper sleeves came avalanching down with the slights disturbance. Her feet although plastered were covered as the tracks enveloped her feet, protecting them from the cold floors. She was radiating. He wasn't the only one to notice.

"what's up Khushi bitya? Today you look rejuvenated and glowing?" He smirked as he remembered Nani and Di's words, which reminded him of last night and early this morning.

It was a long and silent drive to the hospital. They didn't dare to even get a quick glace at each other. They didn't want to see what they feared the most in each other's eyes.

Once at the hospital, Arnav arranged for a wheel chair to make things easy and less painful for her. He wouldn't let any of the male nurses touch her if it wasn't absolutely necessary, so he scooped her out of the passenger seat and placed her ever so gently on to the wheel chair that even the one nurse who had come to help smiled at the warmth around them.

After the check up and a few hisses later the Doctor sent Khushi with the nurse to get her wounds dressed and a fresh plaster.

"Well Mister Raizada, she shouldn't walked around at all for 3 or 4 days. Her cuts are still fresh and if she uses her feet too much then the stiches might stretch and even tear the skin more.." the doctor said in a stern manner while scribbling something onto a prescription slip. Arnav just nodded as the doctor spoke.

A good 15 minutes later Khushi re appeared with her tracks folded up just above her ankle making the fresh white semi-socks visible.

"You might feel a bit feverish and sleepy but that is only because of the medication, and don't worry if you notice some swelling..the swelling will subside just make sure you don't use your feet.." the doctor spoke to her so warmly like she was a 5 year old. Khushi just looked down at her feet and nodded.

He gave a slight smile and looked back at Arnav "she will be back on her feet in nothing more than 2 weeks."

"thankyou Doctor Mehta." Arnav said whole -heartedly giving a weak smile.

In the car there was silence again. Khushi simply rested her head on the window looking out watching as they whizzed passed the world.

"You heard the doctor Khushi, your going to be on complete bed rest for the next few days understand." He said firmly.

"hmm..why don't you build a mote around the room and bar the windows and door with iron rods while your at it?" She replied coldly, lost.. not looking away from the outside world.

The car screeched to a halt. If not for the seat belt Khushi thought she would be out the windshield.

"DAMN IT Khushi whats your problem??!" Arnav yelled at her in frustration more than anger.

"well, isn't that why you married me?" She asked coldy turning to look out the window again.

"Its not like you need any servants to work around the house, and most certainly have no shortage of employees, I don't see any other reason why you would want me around..you made your reason quite clear las--" She choked on the last part, she didn't realise what she was saying until the last words reminded her of last night.

There was a moment of utter eerie silence.

"WHAT THE ****ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!" Arnav exclaimed knowing the answer to his question all too well, but he was appalled by her accusation. First she has an affair with my brother-in-law, trying to wreck his sister's home then she blames her for making her his mistress. He was to shocked to be angry.

Khushi didn't reply, she just looked at his face then her feet then finally out the window again.

"KHSUHSI ANSWER ME!!" Arnav yelled.

"ANSWER ME OR ELSE--" before he could complete his threat Khushi complied.

"OR WHAT?? YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!! WHATS LEFT!?!?" she screeched back with unmeasurable intensity. "YOU,THOSE THUGS IN LUCKHNOW AND THEN THAT SHA--" she held back immediately. "YOUR ALL THE SAME!!"

She stopped suddenly and turned back to the window.

Arnav heard it, his heart jumped again..but it all just confused him more. He wasn't being able to put any pieces together.

"I should've known a man like you could never change." She said as tears slowly made there way down her cheeks but her voice seemed indifferent to the harsh salty drops. She was lost, unaware that anyone was actually listening. After all why would anyone want to even listen forget consider what she has to say. First her Amma and Bauji. Then Payal, then Devi Mayya..slowly slowly everyone turned a deaf ear to her pleas for help. Unknowingly or knowingly..people seemed to just block her voice out entirely.

"Why did Arnav do this to me? Was it because I ruined that one show? The sick pervert did "bump" into me after those thugs harassed me after the clip was aired. ..was Arnav planning this all along??" She spoke to herself in a light whisper as tears kept rolling down her cheeks. "did last night mean something for him at all??"

"Devi Maiyya?" she asked in the same light whisper'like a child who just realised she was lost in a fair would call out for her parents.

"Where are you?" she whispered a bit lower looking around trying to find some sort of sactuary. Her voice now reflected the tears that seemed to ooz out.
