CHAPTER 26: The Power Of A Dream

Khushi returned to her room with the full intention of making up to arnav at all costs the following morning, but little did she know that fate had decided something else. As tonight Arnav Singh Raizada would go to hell. He would sleep yet again being consumed by his unrelenting and merciless nightmares that raged havoc to his mind.

-------flashback--------

He took down the 15 men the king sent with ease. The king looked to sendin another bunch of men. Even though the men advanced, they didn't attack. The prince could see the fear in all the men's eyes. The fear of their own death. His heart for the firs time hindered here telling him that these soldiers too had a home. And as his father had taught him, he wont provoke a fight until the fight comes to him. Either did he move nor did the soldiers.

The king got angry.

King: bring them here right now. I want to finish this story right here.

Commander: sir. They are here

The king roared with laughter as a family was brought before the prince who was still busy fighting and who had no idea what the king had planned.

King: STOP PRINCE. IT IS ENOUGH.

The prince had stopped fighting. He was smeared in blood. None of it was his own. It belonged to the soldiers he fought, and the soldiers he had killed who were on the ground tasting the earth before death took them.

The prince looked at the king. The sight infront of him had completely shocked him. All his hope was lost. Standing before him was the king of the nighboring kingdom, the prince's father in law and his entire family

The prince stopped fighting. He was helpless. All hope was lost. All hope destroyed. The only family that could have saved him was standing right infront of him, prisoners of the new king.

The king roared with laughter. He was the only one who was laughing. The soldiers had their sympathy with the 9 year old prince.

The king next odered something that made the prince's heart to freeze. All emotion and feelings inside him froze as they saw the guards drag a 6 year old girl who was dressed in a saree and her face was covered with her saree as her mother had done it.

The king rudely threw the ghoonghat from her face, revealing her face. The king brough a dagger near her throat. The imprisoned king and his family started to cry and protest until they were silenced by the guards.

The prince narrowed his vision to see the face he had in his heart. The face of his wife.

-------------end of flashback--------------

arnav woke up with a start. He was sweating badly, even though the air condiotioner was running smoothly.

Arnav: KHUSHI.

He didn't know why he shouted her name when he got up, but he had a really hollow feeling inside his heart.

He got up and ran towards her room.

He fumbled with the lock on his door. His hands were shivering in fear. He had no idea what he feared at that instant but his body had betrayed him. It had betrayed him and his control and it gave in to fear. The fear of loss.

Finally the door opened and he ran at khushi's room. He hit a lamp on the way to her room. It fell and lay on the floor.The room was dark. He couldn't see a thing. the room was illuminated enough for him to make out the dark shadows in the room, of shapes that were in his path. He went to khushi's bed.

Relief spread through him as soon as he saw her form under a blanket. He could make out her head chest over the blanket as it rose and fell when she breathed.

He pulled the blanket off her face and turned her towards him.

But his heart froze again. Fear gripped him. This time it would not let go at all.

There lying in his arms was the 6 year old princess that haunted his dreams. The same 6 year old princess that had a dagger held against her throat. He jumped away from the bed and shouted.

---------------------------------------

arnav woke up with a start. He was sweating badly, even though the air condiotioner was running smoothly.

Arnav: KHUSHI.

He now knew exactly why he shouted her name when he got up, but he still had a really hollow feeling inside his heart.

He got up and ran towards her room.

He fumbled with the lock on his door. His hands were shivering in fear. He had no idea what he feared at that instant, his dream or his vision. His body too had betrayed him. It had betrayed him and his control and it gave in to fear. The fear of loss.

Finally the door opened and he ran at khushi's room. He hit a lamp on the way to her room. It fell and lay on the floor.

Arnav's eyes widened as he realized that the lamp on the floor was in exactly the same position as that of his dream. He walked towards khusi's door. He was slow. He didn't kniow what to trust. He kept his hand on her room's door knob and turned it.

There was a creek heard as he opened the door and stepped into her room.

The room was dark. He couldn't see a thing. the room was illuminated enough for him to make out the dark shadows in the room, of shapes that were in his path. He went to khushi's bed, slowly. He didn't know what to expect

Fear spread through him as soon as he saw her form under a blanket. He could make out her head chest over the blanket as it rose and fell when she breathed. It was the same way it did when he was dreaming. This was the power of his dream.

He slowly picked his courage and caught hold of her blanket. He remembered the dream and knew that it was the same position he had caught in his dream.

He pulled the blanket off her face as slowly as he could. He feared to see that princess's face gain. But he was arnav singh raizada. He had no place of fear in his body. even if his body showed it, he had trained his mind to resist the blatant power of fear.

He turned her towards him.

Relief spread through his entire body as he saw khushi in his arms, sleeping peacefully. Now he calmed down a bit. His heart was hammering in his chest. His relief was so immense that when khushi felt arnav near her and had slightly opened her eyes to see if he was here, arnav immediately crashed his lips on hers in a muth numbing kiss. Khushi jerked awake as soon as she felt lips on hers, but she melted as soon as she felt the familiarity of the lips.

Arnav devoured her lips completely as the unrest within him seemed to calm down a bit.

Khushi placed her hand on his shirt, exactly above his heart. Her eyes widened as she felt arnav's heart hammering in his chest. She looked into his eyes to find a slight hint of fear in his eyes.

She withdrew from the kiss, to ask him,

Khushi: arnavji, what happened?

Arnav now realized what he had done.

Arnav: khushi----that----i----I was----- I was scared af---after you said ---

Khushi now felt the extent of her action. She placed her finger on his lips to quiet him. She tugged on his collar to pull him up and gave him a tender kiss in order to calm him a bit. It seemed to work as arnav's heart seemed to relax now.

She tugged and pulled arnav onto his bed in such a way that his head was resting on her lap.

Arnav looked into her eyes.

Khushi: you'd better sleep.

Saying so she patted his head and started to ruffle his hair as she had always wanted to do it and within a few minutes arnav had drifted off to sleep.

Khushi looked at him sleeping and smiled noticing how cute and child like he looked while he slept.

She kissed him on his forehead and after a while sleep took over her too.

When she woke up she felt incomplete. Some weight was missing from her lap. She opened her eyes to see that arnav wasd no longer in her room. There was a note that was stuck on her leg where arnav's head had been.

It read,

I'm still mad at you.

Khushi looked at the note in shock. She brought out her usual self as she exclaimed.

Khushi: aaarrrggghh stupid Laad governor.

She got dressed and went down for breakfast.

She went down and met everyone on the dining table. Even hari prakash and om prakash. But there was one person who was missing from the table.

Khushi: where is arnavji?

Akash looked at her with amusement and replied,

Akash: don't you know? After all you are his girl FRIEND.

Everyone roared with laughter as khushi's cheeks flushed with red color. But she remembered that arnav was still mad at her.

Khushi: no I don't know. We had a small argument---not exactly argument but he scolded----more like shouted at me last night.

The air was filled with the three others exclaiming with a whole deal of confusing words that made no sense.

Khushi: ENOUGH.

All the others were silenced by her raised voice.

Akash roared with laughter.

Akash: looks like someone is picking up someone else's characteristic of shouting.

Khushi blushed even more.

Khushi: now if you all have enough of your teasing can anyone tell me where arnavji is?

Akash: well khushi, have you forgotten? Its Friday. Bhai always leaves for the weekened. He'll only be back on Sunday night.

Khushi's jaw dropped.

Khushi: and he didn't feel the need to tell me that? All he could say was he is mad at me and not the more important stuff that he is going to go?

Akash: bhai never tells us everytime. It is understood.

Khushi: that stupid laad governor raizada.

Akash and payal and deepika laughed out seeing the frustration in khushi.

Akash: I'll be hitting the gym. See you all later.

And akash walked out. As soon as akash walked out, deepika and payal surrounded khushi.

Deeepika: so you two had a fight? Interesting.

Payal: how are you going to make up to him?

Deepika: simple. Kiss and make up.

Khushi blushed profusely as her jaw dropped of its own accord and deepika and payal laughed at khushi's reaction.

Khushi: I was thinking about it.

Deepika: well I'll help you if you want.

Payal: ya me too. How about you giving him a bouquet of the most beautiful roses you can find.

Khushi let out a sarcastic laugh.

Khushi: ya and the next thing I know is I will be in prison while arnavji will be filing a case and the next day the headlines will read,

Khushi gupta imprisoned for life as she lost her trial that accused her of the "red rose murders"

Deepika and payal laughed out at her comment.

Deepika: yup. I guess. Bhai loves plants and he hates the idea of giving flowers to girls because so many of them die for valentine's day. I'm surprised he hasn't started a committee for welfare and of plants living on this planet.

They laughed the day off talking to each other.

------------------------------

Khushi on the ther hand grew restless, as she hadn't seen arnav for two dys now. she wanted to talk to him desperately. She was angry at him that he hadn't even bothered to know if she was alive or dead the past few days. Arnav had only sent messages to deepika saying that he was fine and asking about the general happenings in raizada mansion.

Sunday evening had arrived and khushi found herself sitting near the outside hall area that overlooked the entrance of the house.

It was almost 7.30 when khushi was losing all signs of hope that she saw arnav stepping into the house. She got up to run and hug him but stopped as soon as she had gotten up from the sofa.

Arnav Singh Raizada entered Raizada mansion, but he was not alone.
