It had to be you

"How could she leave me? Didn't I've promised to her to be with her forever? Did I break my promise? Or had been she lost trust in me? She didn't care about me'she didn't think about me before taking such a big step when---when the last night I told her everything---I had confessed to her how much I want her in my life'how much I want to see her beside me in every step of my life and she left me when I've needed her most'when I was close to get what I had dreamt always she left me'she left me without even telling me" He hit his fist hard with the door, he angrily cried, his voice seemed uncertain of his own ears. He collapsed to the floor, staring around in disbelief, "why Khushi? why did you do that to me? His angry voice reached at the edge of outburst. He still couldn't have believed Khushi was gone---she had been left him. He rested back his head and gasped trying to calm his nerves, every moment, every night they spent together, he spent in the comfort of her body, in her arms, her soft skin under his body, her willingly submissions to his plea, their passionate kisses, their passionate coupling filled with strange comfort that they both shared flashed across his eyes and he sucked in a sharp breath. Where has she gone? She hasn't anyone except me? What if she returned back to---back to orphanage? His face clouded and a shiver ran down his spine as a thought came across his mind, an image of old Khushi roamed into his mind her blank eyes, and her colorless face, her thin pale skin under the rays of the sun, her hesitant, fearful eyes to see any strangers

He shuddered, visibly shaken by thoughts of her. NO.

He stood up quickly and grabbed out the old diary from the drawer and dialed the number of old orphanage where Khushi used to live.

"Hello this is 'a hope orphanage'" A strong, male voice came from the other side and Arnav gulped the rising panic gathering his scattered thoughts, "I want---I want to know about someone I mean a girl who used to live there'three years ago she had left the orphanage'the same orphanage'Khushi Malhotra" His words choked but he tried to forcibly calm the tone of his voice.

He could hear the person on the other side had typed something on the computer, he waited gasping the air, "Khushi Malhotra" the other person asked in inquiry tone and Arnav spoke desperately.

"yes'Khushi Malhotra"

"Umm! I've checked her record; three years ago she had left the orphanage with her own will and after that she never comes back again'we don't--"

He couldn't have heard more as the receiver drop from his hand.

"Where is Khushi? She hasn't returned back to orphanage then where does she go? She never tells me about her any relative---her any friends or she deliberately hides from me?"He groaned in anger moving desperately his hands in his hair.oh God! Where I would find her?He sucked in a sharp breath.His scattered thoughts interrupted by sudden sound of ringing bell, Sanity and a sense of reality returned almost belatedly and he let out the breath of uneasiness, He sat up, blinking his eyes with the back of his palm as if he had been on the verge of getting unconscious. He reached for his cell and kept it with his ears, "Arnav!!".

He forced his voice to erupt as the familiar feminine voice fell into his ears, "Yes'Riya" his words almost choked as he forced himself to calm and a steady, " Arnav--Are you alright?

Riya inquired feeling his voice weak, low, "yeah---I'am"he felt irritated at this questioning and answering but he tried to keep his voice stable, though she felt something fishy as it didn't seem well as he was saying. But she didn't try to push him, "I think you forgot about our meeting"

Her words brought back his memory and he realized he had been surely forgotten about his meeting with her, "oh!! Yeah---sorry---it's just---I wasn't---"

"Its okay Arnav'we can delay that meeting till tommorow" noticing the panic in his voice she spoke tenderly, "yes---I think it would be fine" he paused a bit before speaking, "Riya'I'm sorry but I'm not well I'll talk with you later" he hesitated making excuse and she sensed his uneasiness so she replied calmly, "you take rest'I talk to you later".

She let out the gasp of hurt but tried to keep it under her soft voice and Arnav felt guilty at his harsh behavior with Riya but he wasn't in his senses to talk to anyone'he had needed to find her---he had to find her. He threw his mobile and buttoning his shirt he walked out the house.

Khushi stood at the rail of the balcony, and let the cold air hit her directly in the face. At least the cold fresh air made her feel like she as alive. She stared up at the sky and the twinkling beads in it, the moving trees with air; everything seemed so calm, so stable but her life'her life became like 'a long way' and she even didn't know where she was going. When Arnav came in her life she thought that he would give her every happiness and remove the deprives of the past but she was wrong to think that as he never thought about their relationship, about her he always gave priority to his dreams'his desires'his happiness and she waited'waited that one day he would realize what she want from this relationship but he didn't ever understand her. Khushi thought dully and her eyes squeezed bringing the fluid of tears.

"Khushi!"

She roused from her trance of thoughts with Diya's soft voice and quickly removing the tears with the back of her palm she turned to face her, "I bring you coffee" she spoke in jolly tone,

Sensing the grief in the air she tried to make the environment light.Khushi smiled forcefully taking a cup from her hands.

"Thanks"

She said, leaning back against the rail,Diya was quiet for a minute and then spoke giving a deep stare to Khushi, "are you regretting to leave him?"

"No!"

Khushi looked up to meet her gaze and spoke firmly though she knew somewhere in her heart she was panicked, restless to think about him but she knew she had taken the right decision and she couldn't have backed off, "I'm not regretting" she completed her words after taking a brief pause. "I've taken this step after thinking a lot---I can't live my life with uncertain future' I know he wants me in his life but now there is another life in me and I can't live in this unnamed relationship he has to give a name to this relationship , to our baby if he wants us in his life"

Diya drew a long breath before staring her, "do you love him?"

Khushi startled at her sudden question, something sharp pricked in her heart and she gasped for breath and then bowed her eyes, "I don't know what is love as I never get love in my life'I was a child when my parents died I couldn't get their love and after their death my aunt took me with her, she was a widow and had four children's, she was a school teacher and could hardly manage to run her house with her short income, I was like another burden in her life. She couldn't have bore my responsibility so one day she left me in an orphanage and then--"

A tear trickled from her eye and she gasped sending the oxygen to her lungs and Diya blinked back the shimmering tears in her eyes and squeezed her hand gently.

"Then Arnav came in my life---he made me realize there is another life outside of that orphanage which is very beautiful'whenever he holds me I felt protective in his arms'I felt like no one can harm me as he is with me'I always felt complete in his arms'he cared for me'he made me realize life is beautiful if someone is in your life who would care for you---who take your sorrows and give you happiness'whenever he holds me'kissed me --I wished time would stop there as I never wanted to those moments get vanished with the time'if these feelings call love then yes'I loved him'I love him and i'll always love him'he is the father of my unborn baby and we'll both wait for his love"

Tears spill and fell on her cheeks, Diya gasped letting the tears flow and hugged Khushi, "I'm sure he will come for both of you"

"I know"

Khushi spoke firmly to the hope and squeezed her eyes letting her tears to make their way towards her cheeks.

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

Precap.

"if it was her decision so be it'she even didn't bother to tell me and left me" he groaned angrily.

*******

"give us a chance Arnav'I'll give you all the happiness that you deserve"

Riya hesitant but sensing no protest from his side she let her arms crawled around his neck and threw herself on him.

Awsoome updte
Arnav is angry

Argh he doesn't see her point of view. He keeps thinking that she ditched him.
But she just wants assurance and a name for their relationship.

I hate riya! She keeps trying to fit herself into his life. I want khushi to claim her position in his life.

Awesome update. Khushi still trusts Arnav a lot and thinks he'll be there searching for her. Hope he really does so keeping his ego aside.. The precap.. Hope he doesn't end out being with Riya and break Khushi's trust once again. Continue soon.
