IPKKND FF | Broken Strings (ON HOLD) - Page 59

He looked at her intently from his hiding place. Her eyes were lit up, her laughter protruding from within her as she threw her head back and closed her eyes. She looked truly happy.

He thought for a moment and remembered the times when they were younger. The times when Arnav was in Akashs' place. The times when he was the one to make Khushi laugh like that.

He was jealous. Extremely jealous. But it was no ones fault but his.

He closed his eyes tight, her laughter still ringing in his ears as he envisioned a younger Khushi smiling at him, her teeth bared completely in pure happiness. He snapped his eyes open and looked back in to Akashs' office. He looked at Khushi again, his eyes burning as he willed the inevitable blink to stay put a few seconds longer so he could just watch her.

She was happy. She was truly happy in this moment. And in that moment, Arnav realised that this was probably the happiest she had been in years. He himself knew that he was the one to have taken that away from her. He was the one to cause her fake smile. And now, seeing her completely let go, he vowed himself to do everything in his power to keep her surrounded by this happiness, because Khushi deserved nothing less.

And as he looked at them once more - he understood completely that he deserved this. He deserved this distance and he deserved to be on the outside, looking in.

He remembered her words - she needed time, and she needed space. He nodded to himself conclusively.

'Whatever you want Khush... Whatever you want. I'm not leaving you. Ever again'

That was just awesome, Shay. His realization, frustration. His decision and all those unsaid, underlying emotions.

The way you write, it is real. The emotions, the people and the story you weave are things we can relate to. Like when I read, I can see it playing inside my head.

I don't know what lse to say. Just that I love how you write.

Please update soon. Waiting.

Thanks for the PM..
