"Please. Give me one chance. I love you." I pleaded grabbing his hand. He turned his face away from me and moved toward his suitcase, throwing my hand off. I tasted salty tears of mine as i watching him walk away.
"Arnavji!" I cried out just as he was about to walk out the door. He paused but didn't turn around. I ran toward him and fell on my knees sobbing.
"Please don't leave me. I need you. I didn't do anything wrong. I know you love me too. You have to trust me. Please!" I sobbed. I saw his jaw clench and his hands balled into fists.
"Khushi, i have to go." He mumbled in his deep voice. But i couldn't help but notice that his voice cracked on my name. Right away, i knew he was in pain the same way i was. Maybe even more.
"Why?" I whispered. He spun around. His eyes were bloodshot red.
"Why? What do you mean why? I can't bear being around you! That's why! I need to get away from you! That's why! Why can't you freaking understand Khushi Kumari Gupta!" He yelled.
I flinched. Not at his tone but the fact that he didn't add the "Singh Raizada" at the end. I bit my tongue to keep from crying some more. I hated this.
"You're lying." I told him stepping in front of him. He rolled his eyes and looked away. Suddenly, he grabbed my shoulders in a ruthless manner and shook me.
"Why can't you understand goddamn it! Get this through your thick mind for good Gupta! I hate you!" He snapped. I took a deep breath and shook my head. He groaned in frustration and stepped away with his hands behind his head for a long, long time.
"Why are you doing this to me?" He moaned, his back to me. I quivered.
"Don't you trust me?" I questioned him back. He stiffened and looked at me once again. For a moment, all we could do was stare at each other. His beautiful grey eyes stared back at me but it was distant. He was distant. He was here but at the same time, he wasn't. I couldn't stop the next set of tears to escape from my eyes. I could feel everything crumble and fall apart as Arnav picked up his suitcase, gave me one last look and walked out the door.
I, in a robot-like state walked over to a picture of us. He was smiling. He was happy. With me. What went wrong? I missed our relationship. I hated the misunderstandings. I wish he'd given me a chance. Just one chance.
I fell on my knees once again, no longer having the ability to stand.
"Why? Why'd you leave?" I whispered to myself staring at Arnav's picture.
"I didn't."
I looked up and saw Arnav standing in front of me, tears streaming down his cheeks. He pulled out his tickets and ripped them up in front of me.
"I trust you. I tried to leave but i couldn't. I trust you Khushi. I love you." He said opening his arms up for me.
I stood up, my legs shaking. I sobbed in happiness and ran towards him as he enveloped me into a bear hug.
"I'll always be here." He mumbled in my neck. I clutched him tightly. I wouldn't let him go. Ever.
