Romeo, Juliet.
Heer, Ranjha.
Laila, Majnu.
Khushi, Arnav.
All of them had one thing in common. Their love. It wasn't the love that people read about in fairytales, where everything is happy and filled with sunshine and rainbows. This love was true love. It was painful, intense, passionate, angry, and with all those heated emotions came the gentler emotions, like care, tenderness. As much as they wanted to stay away from each other, they couldn't. They were kindred spirits, their souls entwined from the beginning of time, as they fell in love over and over again in different time periods, as different people. No matter what would happen, Khushi and Arnav always found their way back to each other. They would sacrifice everything for each other. Arnav sacrificed himself to save Khushi, Khushi sacrificed herself for Arnav's happiness.
- The place where Arnav is held hostage -
Arnav opened his eyes slowly, a feeling of regained strength washing over him. The last time he felt this was when Khushi was with him, for that one night that was more beautiful than he ever thought of. He would re-live all the horrors of his life, he would gladly give himself up to the kidnappers, satisfied that he was able to spend time with Khushi without the anger that drove them apart, without the hatred that hurt them. That he was able to spend time with his soulmate, showing her the love he knew she deserved.
He knew she was here, and yet his face contorted in pain at the idea of her going through all of that again.
His eyes adjusted to the light and he saw a glowing figure, like an angel, make her way towards him. Dressed in a red anarkali, her hair flowing down her back, he saw the tiredness in her eyes, but smiled inwardly at the glimmer of hope that remained. No matter what, she always found hope in everything. She never complained, she always saw the good in people.
As she kneeled down in front of his chair, a small smile made it's way across her face.
'Arnavji..' she breathed out in relief.
He smiled, and tried to lift his hand up to touch her face, to make sure she was real, that she wasn't a dream.
She lifted her hand to cup his cheek, and he leaned into her soft touch.
'Main yahaan hoon Arnavji.' she said firmly.
'Khushi..if anything happens..I need you to know..tumne mujhe bachaliya Khushi. Agar tum meri zindagi mein nahin aathi tho mein nahin jaantha mein kya kartha.'
'Arnavji, chup. Aapko kuchh nahin hoga. Main hoon na.? Mein aap ko aur kuch nahin hone doonga.'
She removed her hand from his face and set about to releasing him from the tightly bound ropes. As she used a piece of glass to cut through the ropes, she lifted up each of his hands, and as though healing them, as though she was transferring her strength towards him like this, she held his hands against her beating heart.
'Khushi, humare dil ke dhadkan ek hai.' Arnav said softly
'Jaanthi hoon Arnavji. Ab hume chalna chahiye. Lekin woh ghatiya aadmi yahan aayega. Mujhe samajh nahin aatha hai, ek insaan itna ghatiya kaise ho saktha hai.?!' her eyes filled with pain at this.
'Khushi, tum kiske baare mein baath kar rahi ho.? Aur tum yahan kaise aayi.? Akeli aayi.?'
'Hum aapko batathe hain. Nanheji un log ko distract kar raha hai, aur Mamiji gaadi mein baithi hai. Aur jis aadmi ki main baare mein baath kar rahi hoon..woh Shyam hai. Arnavji jiske pehle woh aapke kaano mein aur zeher daale, aap ko humare baath ka yakeen kar na parega. Vaada karo, ki aap humare baath sunenge'
'I promise Khushi. Ab baataao.'
'Arnavji..hum jaanthe hain ki aap ko...ki aap ko lagta hai ki mein uss aadmi..uss..uss se..p-p-yaar karti hoon.' she spit the words out angrily, but continued nonetheless.
'Lekin aap ko humara baath maanna parega, ki main nahin karthi hoon. Kabhi nahin karthi thi, ab nahin karthi hoon, aur kabhi nahin karoongi. Hum usse Lucknow mein mile the. TV par woh video thi, uss fashion show ki raath ka, jab mein aap ke godh mein giri thi. Raasthe mein kuchh gunde mile the aur woh Amma aur hume pareshaan kar rahe the. Babuji hume bachane ki koshish kiye, lekin un log usse dhhaka diya tha. Shyam aaye aur phir usne hume bachaliye. Hume socha the ki hum usse kabhi nahin milenge. Lekin jab Amma ne boli ke Jiji aur hume Delhi ko aana parega, hum usse phir se mile. Aur kuchh din bad, usne humare ghar mein paying guest bana tha. Uss waqt tho usne koi ulti-seedhi baath nahin kari, humare parivaar ko sach mein kuchh nahin malum tha. Lekin phir malum nahin, kya badalgaya. Phir Buaji ne zabardast kar rahi thi usse shaadi karne ki liye. Aur Babuji ki accident..aur aap...aap tho humse nafrat karthe the. Aur aap Lavanyaji se shaadi karne waale the. Tho hum kya karthe.? Buaji ne bola tha ki hum, kya hum apne Babuji ke liye itna nahin kar sakthe.? Tho maine haan bol diya. Lekin mere dil khush nahin the. Aur patha nahin..aap ke liye, mere feelings badal gaye. Aur hum Anjali ji ke pati kabhi nahin dekha. Aapko woh bhi yaad hai na.? Tho hum kaise jaanthe the ki woh aadmi...kitna chalak the, ki woh do parivaar ko itna bara dhoka diya. Aur phir hume kuchh gadbad lag raha tha. Woh 'Rani Sahiba' se baath karthe the, aur phir muuh murakhe hume batatha ki woh uske client the. Lekin hume shak tha, ki kuchh gadbad hai. Jab phir pooja ke din humne usse terrace par dekha, meine sagai toot liya, aur thapar bhi maara. Mein aapko bathane waali thi, jab aapne humse puchha, kya hua tha. Lekin mujhe yaad aaya ki Anjali ji aapki duniya hai. Aur aap..aap hum chhoti si ladki ki baath ko kyun manenge. Aur hum aapke dil par kabhi bhi thess nahin pahunchna chahte the. Maine fesla kiya tha ki main Anjali ji ko bataaongi. Lekin uss waqt thak Jiji or Akash ji ke rishta...aur Amma ne boli ki agar mein kuchh boli tho unke rishta par asar ho sakta hai. Aur mein nahin bardaash kar paathi, ki Jiji ke rishta ko phir se kuchh ho. Lekin mujhe yeh sab sahi nahin laga. Aur Anjali ji ko ek achha aadmi se shaadi karna chahiye tha. Lekin Anjali ji Shyam ko apne bhagwan, apne sab kuchh maanthe hai. Agar mein iss baare mein batathi tho woh toot jathi. Tho hume laga ki agar hum kuchh nahin kare, shayad woh phir se Anjali ji se pyaar karna lagenge. Ki woh apni rishta ki maayna karenge. Lekin aise tho kuchh nahin hua...aur hum pe uske bardaaf tho limit se cross hue the...lekin mein kuchh nahin kar payi, aur saath mein aapke dil ko chot pahunchadi' Khushi was in tears by now, shaking as she let out the emotions that were troubling her for so long.
Arnav felt as though his world was crashing to the ground, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. It all made sense now. He had never seen Khushi hug Shyam back. She had told him to leave Di because..because she knew Di deserved better. And he had been so blinded by rage that he had ruined her life in a split second.
'Agar maine tum par ek bar..ek bar tumhare baath sun tha..' Arnav said in a hoarse voice, tears spilling out of his eyes.
'Khushi, I'm so sorry. Khushi..mujhe tumse kuchh kehna hai..'
'Arnavji, agar yeh sab nahin hota, tho phir hume ehsaas kaise hota, ki hum..ki hum aise kyun lagtha hai'
She stopped abruptly as she heard the door fly open.
Shyam stood there, an object in his hand as he marched towards them, the psychoticness emanating from his body.
Arnav immediately went and stood in front of Khushi, protecting her from this madman.
'Well, well...Arnav you stupid stupid boy..you believed me instead of her. Oh it was so easy to play with you like you were a puppet..you never stopped to think that perhaps Khushiji was telling the truth.'
Khushi stiffened behind him, and Arnav growled 'Don't you dare say her name from that poisonous mouth of yours.'
'Kyun.? Kyun nahin bolu.?' Shyam smirked, enjoying the rise he was getting out of Arnav.
He lifted up the gun in his hand, and aimed it at Arnav's heart. Khushi saw this and gasped - the only thought in her head at the moment was that she had to do whatever it takes to keep Arnav alive.
She jumped in front of him, screaming 'Don't you dare hurt Arnavji' as the bullet hit her in the shoulder.
Shyam laughed evilly 'Even better, I've got you out of the way as well Khushiji. You really shouldn't have refused me like that. You should've known I would've done something to you...something that a girl like you wouldn't've been able to live with.' and strode out of the room, knowing that with Khushi dying, Arnav would die as well. He felt proud, killing two birds with one stone.
Khushi collapsed in Arnav's arms, as Arnav felt the wind get knocked out of him
'Khushi STAY WITH ME DAMN IT.! KHUSHI I NEED TO TELL YOU MUJHE FARAK KYUN PADTHA HAI.! KHUSHI DAMMIT MAIN TUMSE PYAAR KARTA HOON.! JAB TUM ROTI HO..JAB TUM KISI TAKLEEF MEIN HO, I CAN'T BEAR IT.! KHUSHI YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME, YOU CAN'T BE SO SELFISH.! KHUSHI, KHUSHI.! KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, DO YOU HEAR ME.! TERI HIMMAT KAISE HUI, MERE LIYE TUM PHIR SE MUSIBAT MEIN PAHUNCHI'
Khushi was having trouble breathing properly, as she was gulping in the air
'Arnavji...stop shouting at me..Nanheji aur Mamiji ke paas mujhe leke jaao..aur Arnavji...mujhe bhi farak padta hai..kyun ki mein aapse bhi bahuth pyaar karti hoon'
'Khushi, you've saved me from remaining a monster. Agar tum gayi...to mera kya hoga.?'
'Arnavji mein idhar hoon. Aapke pas. Aap chinta math ki jiye.'
'Arnavji mein aapko humesha..humesha..' and with that her eyes closed. She was still breathing, Arnav noted, and picking her up in his arms, ran outside frantically.
Seeing NK he shouted 'NK CALL AN AMBULANCE NOW, I DON'T HAVE A PHONE THAT STUPID bas***d TOOK IT'
Turning his attention back to Khushi
'Khushi don't you dare leave me, you can't, I won't allow you to leave me, Khushi, I will pray to your bloody Devi Maiyya if it brings you back to me. Khushi jo bhi bura kiya..uska koi matlab nahin..jo bhi bura kaha...uska koi matlab nahin...kyun ki mein tumse hamesha, hamesha ki liye pyaar karunga.'
