New arshi SS: A second chance, part 4 final, p21 25NOV - Page 4

-what ?...you gave up ?

Akash looks at his bahai with a confused expression

-Akash! Do you think that khushi deserve a man like me?

Akash adjusted his glasses

-Bahai, it's true you made a mistake but... I think you're the man khushiji wants!

-Akash! If I have one hope that she could accept me gain, I will fight till the end of my life but I saw her that night, she was...shining like a star, she was happy without me! I can't destroy it all because I'm egoist!

-what if someone...

-what? Talk Akash!

-Payal told me that...

-Akash...talk damn it!

-well, so many before proposed to khushiji but she refused them all but this time...

Akash hesitated, Payal warned him to not tell anyone about this proposal for khushi...keep it secret will be safe...Payal wants for her heart that khushi finds the happiness with someone else...not Arnav because he made her sister suffer!

-Akash...Talk!

-this time, khushi doesn't said yes yet but she doesn't said no! she asked for some day to think about it!

Arnav felt a fire...a fire consuming his heart!

A pain deep inside his heart making him stands up...

He wasn't able to see before him or to hear Akash further...

He has to do something!

And suddenly, he gets conscious he did another big mistake when he sets khushi free!

She's his love...how can he let off his love another time!

She was all the way right in her anger and her hatred but he was wrong again by letting go of her hand!

Leaving Akash behind, he left the office...

He doesn't know how but he drove till her home...

He knows that she's probably at work by now but still...he wanted to be close from her world!

He always came here to see her from his car...sometimes; he has the chance to see her getting out or coming back...sometimes, he just observed the little light coming from her room...lighting the dark in his heart...just for a bit!

And today, he saw her just before him...

Troubled before her car, happy singh is with her...

Arnav noticed that again her style was changed...

This time she was wearing an orange long dress...and looking troubled...

Without thinking so much, Arnav decided to get out of his car...

***

-it will not get fixed now? Because I have a delivery to be done, for now, happy ji and I'm already late!

Khushi pouted not aware about the man standing just behind her...

Happy singh was just silently looking at her and Arnav behind her...

-khushiji...

He gestured to her to see behind her and when she turned and saw Arnav, she was about to lose her balance but his strong hands were there to support her...

-khushi...

Her name was a whisper that, only her, could hear

-You?

He looked at her silently...she gets away of his arms...

She gets troubled but then looked at happy singh

-my car will be fixed now?

-no...actually, khushiji...it will take time!

-fine! Keep it!

She said and goes to her car to get out a huge box...

She ignored Arnav totally and walked away to find a taxi...

But her heart was beating so fast...

-khushi! wait!

She finds him right in front of her...

-let me help you... car is here! I can drop you!

-it's a big no Arnav!

Khushi stops walking and looked at him

-I thought you decided to let me live peacefully that night! So, why you're here?

Arnav looks at her silently but anger starts raising...

-let me drop you!

-let me go!

-khushi!

His eyes are reflecting his anger; he snatches the box from her and walked towards his car...

She followed trying to get back her sweets box that contains the order for a mehendi party!

-please, give back the box to me!

-get in!

-No!

-don't create a scene, everyone is looking!

Khushi looked around, that was true...everyone is looking and she's really late...

-alright! I will get in your car but not because everyone is looking, but, because I'm late and I need to deliver this sweets too soon!

He nodded

She gets in the car besides him...

It's been so long...since she doesn't get in this car and sits beside this man!

It's enough to affect her...she knows

She thought that she becomes so strong but here her heart and memories are not helping.

She tried to concentrate on the road but her heart is biting so much and she's trying to breathe normally

-why you come back? I thought you will never come!

-I come khushi! you know why!

-why? Tell me! because you think I will need your help, because you never changed and you keep always thinking that you could do whatever you want? Or because you're just so arrogant to accept that I don't need you anymore!

-khushi!

Arnav cried out her name and stops the car suddenly

-Enough!

-now what?...would you ask me to get out?

-khushi! enough! I'm wrong till the start I know! I betrayed your trust, not once but so many times but all what I want is a second chance!

-a second chance??? Why? Tell me why? To hurt me again? why?

-because I love you... I love you!!...I will always love you damn it

He said out loud and she opens her eyes widely

It looks like she's hearing that for the first time but no...

He said it before and now...

-please! I need to deliver the sweets!

She said coldly, turning her face to the window

Arnav can't believe that no love is left for him in her heart...

He knows that all he deserves is that but...he thought that she loves only one person and that was him like he loves only one person and it's her...it's about him and her only...

Silently, he drove following the address she gave

His hands are shivering from anger and depression...but he tried his best to not look that much sad and hopeless

And then he heard one sob and he immediately look at khushi

She's still turning her face to the window side but another sob escaped her throat...

-khushi...I don't know what to say or do! I destroyed everything just by one moment of weakness! I disappoint you! Not only you but also me! I believe you don't deserve a man like me but you do deserve a love like mine! That's why I come back, today!

-it's here! Please stop...here!

He stopped the car immediately and she gets out as fast as she could, she accepted a paper hanky that he handed to her and took the box with her...

She entered a home that has an opened main door and Arnav could hear the music coming from inside...

He gets out from his car too and decided to wait for her...

After 15 minutes, he decided to enter...

The entire home was decorated with white and yellow flowers...

Arnav entered and no one stopped him to ask who he is...it was full of guests

He kept walking till he saw her

She was in a room and was talking with an old woman...

She was smiling and Arnav smiles instantly

The old woman tastes from what khushi brings in the box and she looks like she appreciates it and more...as she took another sweet and invited another group of women to taste...

A group of maids and waiters join to full some empty plates with Khushi's sweets...

They all contain some shinning and sweet jalebis...

Khushi smiled satisfied and when she's about to leave, the old woman holds her hand and pushed her away from there to another area

Arnav's eyes followed her...

She seems to refuse something and the old woman seems to insist...

Arnav gets closer to hear the conversation

-come on beta...it's one simple design that you choose and Maha will apply it to you with the mehendi!

Khushi tried to speak to refuse again and her eyes meet with his eyes...

Arnav's eyes

She gasped

That only moment was magical that khushi forgets about all

And one girl takes her hand and starts to apply the mehendi in her palm...

She could refuse, cry her eyes out, she could feel angry, betrayed...she could hate him...but she can't refuse...

How much she belongs to this man!

How much she's his even if she refuses to admit this fact!

It would be over if and only if her heart stopped biting but as long as she's breathing, living, she will never stop loving him...

The music gets out louder

(sorry, couldn't insert the video but here is the link to the song, do listen to it, it's a cover, not the original, something new 😉 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCCwqouWmMk )

Tere bina kya wajood mera

Khushi closes her eyes and flashbacks of her own mehendi dominates her mind

She felt petals of roses caressing her face and shoulders and opens her eyes to see that the ladies there are throwing yellow and white flowers every where

She smiled and looked at him...

He still there...admiring her with his intensive gaze and getting closer...

She blushed as the girl who applied the mehendi to her is wide awake of his presence now...and smiled discretely to her...knowing what is happening

-is he your husband?

She asked amused and without waiting for khushi answer, completed applying beautiful lines all over her palm

But khushi looked at Arnav like it was for the first time...

His face

His eyes

His proud nose

His lips

His chin

His hair

He's her husband

her love

her life...

-should I draw the first letter of his name?

The girl asked

Tum hi ho..

And khushi whispered unconsciously "Arnavji"

Tum hi ho..

The girl looked at her and him smiled and draw

"A"

In the middle of her palm
