"Shyamji! What are you doing? Please let me go!" she pleaded, tears forming in her eyes.
"Khushiji, no one is here. You don't have to pretend you don't have any feelings for me. I know how you felt when I was staying with you as a guest. You would have never agreed to marry me if you didn't feel the same way. I know you only broke up with me cause you didn't want to cause Rani Sahiba any pain. You are a wonderful girl, so nice, so sweet. That is why I fell in love with you. But I will divorce her. She won't need to be an obstacle for our happiness anymore."
"What are you talking about? I don't have any feelings for you besides hate. Please, let me go." Just as she replied to his comment, he squeezed harder, causing her to yelp in pain. "Shyamji, please, you are hurting me."
"Khushiji, I want to help you. I know you don't love Saale Sahib. You don't want this baby. I know he is making you have this baby. I can get you out of this. Listen to me, Khushiji!" he yelled at her, with a crazed look.
"Shyamji, you have it wrong. I want this baby. And I love my husband very much." she replied in a strong voice.
"NO! You will abort this baby. If you don't, I promise you, I won't hurt you, but your husband. He will be the one that will suffer because of you. But don't worry, Khushiji. You will be mine eventually, understand my sweet, sweet Khushiji?" he said as he trailed down her face, tucking a piece if hair behind her ear.
Khushi froze with fear hearing Shyam utter those words, threatening her husband. She couldn't abort this baby, it was her and her husband's baby. He might have hurt a lot, but she still loved him. She would never do anything to hurt him or his baby. Before she knew it, he let her go and walked away. She ordered herself to stop shaking, to get a hold over her emotions, but she couldn't. She couldn't say anything to Arnav about this. He would kill Shyam and not listen to anybody, not her, not Nani, not even Di.
Throughout the whole conversation, Arnav kept looking towards the pharmacy, to try to see Khushi. But she wasn't anywhere in his vision. They had been here for half an hour and he was getting very paranoid. Finally, Raj left and just as Arnav was going towards the pharmacy, Khushi came out. He grabbed her and hugged, sighing with relief. He put his head in the crook of her neck, breathing in her honey and orchard shampoo. It relaxed him automatically.
As Arnav grabbed her in a hug, she felt safer. She slowly reached up and put her hands around his neck. She hugged him for the first time and it felt so nice. She forgot about the incident with Shyam. She never wanted to let go. But she knew that if she did do what Shyam wanted, Arnav would...she didn't know what he would do. She had to do something.
Arnav felt small arms wrap around his neck and he froze in surprise. She was hugging him back. 'She forgave me. Or else she wouldn't be hugging me, right? No! She will never forgive you for what you did to her. You call that love? You don't treat the person you love like that, Arnav!' he thought to himself. He pulled back and held her face in his hands, forcing her to look at him only.
"Where did you go? I was so worried that..." he couldn't finish. He just engulfed her in a hug again.
This time Khushi pulled away, leaving a surprised Arnav. She brought her hands to his cheek and cupped his face reassuringly. "Arnav, don't think about him. I'm fine. And only yours. I love you, Arnav." she told him.
Arnav was overcome with joy. She loved him. Even after all the things he did to her and said to her. But he knew that winning back her trust wouldn't be so easy. He would come up with something to accomplish that. After all, he is Arnav Singh Raizada!
"Khushi, I promise you, I will never let you cry or be sad. From today onwards, you will live up to your name, even more so than before. You will never see sadness again. I promise you that on our unborn child. Khushi, you don't know how happy you made me. I love you so damn much." he told her as he picked her up. "Come on, let's go home." he said as he carried her out.
How was it? Will she do the abortion? Will Armav find out about the conversation between Shyam and Khushi? Did you like the last part like I thought you would. Hope you all enjoyed it.
