Arnav shot a deathly glare to Shyam before running after Khushi. The door was locked. He became worried what if Khushi tried to harm herself.

"Khushi …. Khushi open the door" he fearfully knocked the door

Getting no answer he pulled the handle as if an attempt to break the lock

"Khushi" He yelled

"Khushi ….. open the door" Helplessly his voice became wet with pleading

"Khushi …. Please ……"

*******************************

"No, I can't trust anyone ….. not this time" She ignored the voice from outside

She was about to move towards bed when his pleading stopped her moving feet, She could not ignore it this time. Turning the door knob she unlocked it and stepped back

As soon the door opened Arnav coming inside pulled her into a hug, a hug of assurance, a promise which he know is necessary for her at the moment, but instead of giving in the hug she pulled back from him.

"Khushi" Cinfusedly, Arnav stared at her tear stained face, he brought his hand to hold her but she backed off

"I don't need you" Stunned, his hands stilled in the air near her face

"Khu ….."

"Leave me alone" Her eyes once again filled with tears, Panicked, Arnav instead of her resistance held her from shoulders

"Listen to me Khushi, I am with you" He pressed each word but only get a mock laughter from her in answer

"Really ….. but you were not with me when Jeeju …… he touched me ….. he kis ……." Feeling disgusted she rubbed her hands harshly to her lips only to caught by Arnav

"Right now I am with you" He cupped her face but she waved his hands off

"No, I don't need you now ….. you know that moment when I felt that ….. I'll lose my everything ….. you were the one whom I called …. You were the one in whom I put my trust …. That you will prtect me …… believe me ….. but you …….." Her piercing red shot eyes were pricking his heart slowly in to small pieces

"You were not with me when that day those boys tried to ……….." Her voice choked as standing there she charged him with all what happened to her

If he wants still he cannot change the things what had happened in the past. Never, he thought that Shyam could go so low that he will try to assault a girl which is so younger to him. He cannot change that but he can atleast do something to make her forget all the bad memories of her past, he mentally scolded himself for being the reason of her sate

"You said that you trust me" Lifting her gaze she looked up at her, his gaze was tender, she could not deny him

"Yes … I do but now I don't ….." Arnav didn't let her complete

"If you ever … for a second trusted me then believe my words, I'll not hurt you and I won't let anyone harm you …. Even if it has to be at the cost of Di's happiness" Her eyes left wide opened with fear as she shook her head

"No ….. you will not tell about it to anyone, Promise me" Arnav glared her in wonderment, at this age she was thinking about other's happiness

"Promise me" She forward her hand and forcefully holding his hand placed it at top of her

"Ok …. But do you trust me?" She just nodded at his question

"I promise you Khushi from this moment you will never think about that night" She could sense the genuine concern and possessivness to hold the promise in his voice tone

"Can I try something?" the first hesitant question from him

Not trusting her voice she nodded and as it was enough for him;

He pulled her into a bone crushing hug, squeezing her, as if trying to take out each and every misery from her, his hands roaming over her back, caressing her hairs.

"No one except me has the right to touch you like this" Feeling secured Khushi wrapped her arms around his neck

Eternity, for which they kept standing like this. After when, he gently parted herself from him, sudden fear appeared in her eyes as she saw him moving his face closer to her

She tried to step back but his grip didn't let her. She clutched onto his collar as she felt his breath near her lips, frantically she closed her eyes anticipating what is coming

And then …. She felt it, his lips brushing against hers ….. for a moment she forgot everything the second his lips touched hers, Never in her life before she felt anything like this which she was feeling right now with him, with the person she thinks hate her the most.

His kiss was more of possessivness and protectness. He was gentle at the sametime he was forceful on her to get the response from her, but she was transported to heaven with his kiss and his gentle caressing at her back

She came back to earth the second his lips parted from hers, Disappointed and embarrassed at the same time she tried to move back, but his hands gliding upwards to her shoulders held her firmly and with his right hand he made her look at him holding her chin

"No one except me has the right to hold you, touch you ….. I know to erase that dreadful event from your memory is difficult for you, but Khushi you are strong, You have me now, you have to tell Shyam or anyone who is a resistance to you and your happiness that you have moved on, You have to tell them you are happy" He paused, "We are happy"

He sighed deeply as he read the numerous questions in her eyes, but one thing which he could feel now looking her face is the contentment, She atleast now have him who can support her and stand by her when she need.

"I'll try" The fist smile from her heart after three years without any confusion or worry

Seeing her smiling he too smiled and leaning in kissed her forehead

"Come, sleep now" He take her to the bed and as she lay down he was about to move towards sofa when she held his hand and stopped him

"Please …. Don't …." He understood what she was trying to convey, moving towards the other side of the bed he lay down next to her. Hesitantly, Khushi held his hand closing her eyes. He could feel her hand shivering against his and he knew she was afraid, To comfort her, he pressed her hand. For the first time they slumbered together, facing each other, holding hands.
