ArHi OS : The Only Exception

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

"I HATE YOU.UNDERSTOOD?" Shashi Gupta yelled, turning his back against his wife who was in tears.

They fought. Fought a lot. They Cried. Argued all the time but they did not once think about the innocent young girl who was affected with it all.

She silently cried, hiding herself in her room all the time...losing herself in music, trying to drown out all the sinful words thrown out.

She was hurting...hurting so badly yet no one stopped and asked her how she was...not one person saw through her...not one person looked into those big brown eyes and saw the masked pain.

She walked out of her room listening to all of the curses thrown to each other, she saw three bags...and then her mother walked away...not once turning back to look at her daughter's face.

She didn't bother to even ask...maybe somewhere, someone will understand...

~~~~~~~~~~

You are the only exception!
You are the only exception!
You are the only exception!
You are the only exception!

She turned away, refusing to look at the sight of him wrapped up in someone else's arms...she walked away wiping her tears not caring whether she got drenched in the rain.

She hugged herself closer, rubbing her arms for warmth. She bit her lip wishing that she God would take her away...she was all alone in this world...she had no one...

"Why...why did you leave me alone..? You could have taken me with Dad! I have no one...no one in this world..." she yelled, cringing as the icy droplets pricked her skin. It was like a thousand knives immersing themselves in her delicate skin.

She turned around, looking for the bridge...she looked around, not worrying about the fact that there were cars honking at her to move away...she couldn't care...she didn't want to care...

She huddled herself closer to the pole, stepping on the rails of the bridge...she looked down, pain engulfing her heart and tears clouding her vision as she saw the endless stream of black water...the swift, cold drops of rain falling effortlessly towards the tempted waters.

She licked her lips and groaned as she felt the drops of blood...she let her hands fall freely towards herself, ignoring the shouts and screams of the people who had gathered behind her.

She put one foot out hoping to feel the sudden drop to her death but all she could feel was strong, warm arms engulfing her petite, shaking body into his cocoon.

He carried her all the way to his car, dumping her onto the front seat.

She opened her eyes...not wanting to meet his tensed, honey brown orbs.

She tried moving away from his iron like grip but she failed too.

He turned her around, forcing her to look into his eyes and what she saw left her speechless.

His handsome face was ready to kill any moment...

"What the bloody hell were you even thinking Khushi Kumari Gupta...?" he said, his veins on his forehead sticking out as he looked at her dangerously ready to pounce.

She looked away, not wanting to meet his eyes...

"Why do you care Arnav...? Whether I die or not...?" she said hesitatingly.

That did it.

He looked at her, pure fury emanating from his brown eyes, he clenched his fists together, his white teeth burying itself into his gums.

"What.did.you.say?" he whispered huskily.

Without waiting for her to reply, he pulled her close to his form, placing his strong arms around her and said "Don't you dare say that ever again..."

She struggled sharply.

"Let me go Arnav...I'm sure Sheetal wouldn't want to see you in another woman's arms." She bit out callously.

He raised his eyebrows, pressed their foreheads together and whispered "Sheetal can go to hell for all I care..."

"What did I see back there then Arnav? Was that part of the act as well?" she said, looking away from his brooding eyes.

"She slipped Khushi...there was a glass piece stuck to her wrist, I was only helping her...nothing else..." he said.

"Then why was she hugging you Arnav? Do you have any idea how it feels to see the man you love in another woman's arms? I don't want to go through what my parents did Arnav..." she cried out.

He softened at that, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

He placed an effortless kiss onto her forehead and moved his lips down to her nose and kissed her tip.

"Listen to me Khushi...I love you...more than anything." He whispered and captured her lips in a searing, passionate kiss.

She moaned into his mouth, tugging him closer, clutching his collars while snuggling into his warmth.

He licked her lower lip earning access into her warm, delicious mouth.

He thrust his tongue into her mouth, feeling the delicate corners of her treasure.

Moaning deeply and huskily, he picked her up, wrapping her legs around his waist.

He pushed her up against the car and moved his lips down to her neck, placing moist kisses onto the crooks of her neck.

She sighed in ecstasy at the feel of his expert lips against hers.

She wanted him so badly...

They broke apart with the dire need of oxygen with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"I...I love you too...so much baby..." she whispered, giving into her sobs.

He held her tightly, rubbing soothing circles across her back, continuously placing kisses onto every part he could reach.

"Promise me. Promise me you would never ever think of leaving me...not now, not tomorrow, not forever...eternity is too less for me...I want you forever...and I will love you till the end of infinity and beyond..." he said, placing a beautifully cut diamond ring onto her finger.

"Arnav?" she asked, looking confusingly at the ring.

"You're mine sweetheart...as I am yours...will you marry me?" he asked, wiping her tears.

She nodded happily, throwing herself into his arms, entangling her fingers in his messy brown hair.

"But..but Arnav what about Sheetal?" she asked, looking saddened.

He kissed her again, showering her with all the love she deserved.

"I told you Khushi, Sheetal is just an acquaintance, Di wanted me to get married to her at one point but I never loved her. In fact, I never even considered her as a friend...It's always been you baby...It will always be you..." he said, pressing kisses to her collar bone.

"Will Di like me Arnav?" she asked, brushing his wavy locks away from his forehead.

He chuckled and said "Baby...Nani and Di have been trying to set us up for the past 1 year now...the whole Sheetal fiasco was a ploy to bring us together..."

Khushi blushed a deep shade of red and said "So all that was just an act?"

"Yes Khush...you already know how much I hate touching other women apart from you..."

He kissed her cheek.

"I'm sorry Arnav...I acted on instinct. I should've listened to you without jumping to conclusions. It's just that, after everything that happened with my parents...I was terrified to fall in love...and then I met you and everything seemed so surreal that I was so scared to experience such a beautiful, pure relationship...I love you Arnav...always and forever."

"Sssh...It's okay Jaan...but I can never forgive you for what you were going to do...understand this Khushi...no matter what happens, I will die without you..."

He hugged her closer, refusing to ever let go...

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk, well


You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

They crashed against each other on the bed, snuggling closer. Arnav buried his face into her hair, placing soft kisses onto her neck. She giggled at the touch of his fingers as they cuddled together, relishing the feel of their bodies, sweaty yet satisfied.

Arnav nuzzled his nose against Khushi's earlobe, dragging the covers over them so that they lay hidden together. He ran his hand over her body, feeling her delicate body respond to his every caress.

He pressed a kiss onto her nose, running his nose against her face and slowly moving down to the contours of her neck.

She lifted her chin up as she felt his lips glide across her jaw, placing kisses everywhere his lips went.

It was a surge of immense, beautiful passion between them.

She looped her arms around his neck, messing his hair even more and placed a kiss onto his bruised lips. She bit his lower lip and whispered "I love you baby..."

He chuckled, kissing her lips animatedly and said "I love too..."

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Ooh Ooh...

"Sssh baby...sssh...trust me...I'm never going to leave you..." he cried out, hugging her ever so closely.

"Ar...Arnav...I love you...I love baby!! Please...please don't ever leave me...I'm sorry, I'm so insecure and stupid and I know I'm a horrible wife but don't leave me alone...I have no one in this world apart from you Arnav..." she said brokenly, clutching Arnav tightly.

"Stop it Khushi...You're the best wife a man can have, the best lover I can ever have, the best person I will ever know and I will always love you no matter what comes between us." He said reassuringly, pressing kisses onto her lips conveying all his feelings to her.

~~~~~~~~~~

She looked up at him, smiling through her tears "I love you Arnav..."

"I love you too sweetheart..." He said, moving down to place a kiss onto her belly, welcoming their symbol of love.

"And I love our baby..." he whispered, hugging her close into his arms.

She was content. This time, forever.

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
