Conquered Hearts

Arnav felt a tug in his heart to realize where she was taking him when they reached at the last stair of the third floor. They were standing at the doorstep of His room, the room that was filled with his childhood memories, memories of his parents.

Khushi found him stiffen under her touch and her own heart sank with the to remember what Mrs. Jain had told her in the morning that Arnav never visited his room after his parents death. He didn't want to overcome from his grief and she knew she was the only one, who could do that and filled his heart with the new memories and she had to do.

She tilted her neck and stared at him, her heart bled to see the grief formed on his handsome features, his face had gone pale, his eyes were filled with unshed tears and he looked so vulnerable that she bit her lip to stifle her own cry of dismay.

"Arnav"

She spoke softly; her hand raised and touched his warm cheek. He startled before bringing himself back to the present and looked down at her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you"

Her voice held the hint of guilt, his rigid features softened, and he brought her hands near to his lips and kissed them slightly.

"You can never hurt me, Khushi. You didn't"

He smiled weakly, he knew why did she bring him here, but he had to have a little time to assimilate his emotions.

"Won't you step in the room with me?"Her eyes scanned him closely, he could see the amount of love that was glowing in her eyes for him, and at that moment, he could say without any doubt that she loved him, too. His heart fluttered with nervousness and tightened his grip over her hand, and then he spoke looking back into her eyes.

"I'll"

He smiled weakly and she had let the lone tear slipped out from her lashes, she leaned and tucked her arms around him, bringing their face closer she captured his lips for a long, soothing kiss. His hands slowly moved and gripped her waist, and brought her near to him, letting his heart to forget all the grief from his heart.

A moment later, when she pulled back she smiled at him and removed the only tear from his cheek.

"I'm with you, I'll always with you"

His eyes blazed with the shimmering tears and his lips curled into a smile he nodded his head slightly, leaning and planting a soft kiss on her temple before pulling her beside him and clutched the knob of the door.

They stepped together in the room"His room. He roomed his eyes around and familiar scent touched his nostrils, his own smell"smell of his childhood days, his vision blurred with unshed tears and Khushi tightened her hold around him and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I promise you, I'll never let tear come in your eyes"

His breath choked and he gulped down the tears, bringing her closer to him, he leaned and kissed her softly. He felt a strange peace in the deep in his heart that he had never felt before in the past many years. Then his eyes flew to the huge picture of his parents, besides that, there was another picture, He, his father and mother were smiling at something. Another, in which he was sitting on his father's lap and his father's one hand, crawled around her mother. And then Another, he was in his mother's lap, the one they had clicked when they were three lying on the same bed, his parents either on his side and he was lying between them, and below these pictures, there was another framed picture, the one with his mother, holding him in a tight hug.

He sucked in breath, she felt him stiffen.

"Where did you find these pictures? I've lost them when the fire had caught up our living room. I was devastated after losing these pictures of my parents. They were few of them that holding so much beautiful memory" His eyes were lit up with the sheer joy like a boy that had found his lost treasure.

"Thanks to Mrs. Jain, who had helped me to get them back?"

"How?"

His eyes quirked in confusion and she smiled to see the excitement and joy at the same time on his face, she kissed his lips briefly before pulling back to stare at him.

"Once, she had told me about this incident when the fire had caught up the living room and had burned everything included these pictures. You got devastated after this incident as you had recently lost your parents and after it was another blow to your fragile heart"

She paused, giving a quick glance to the pictures and her lips curled with the beautiful smile when she looked back at him.

"These pictures were close to your heart and I wanted to get them back for you. I was desperate and God helped me. In the morning conversation with Mrs.Jain she told me about your family photographer, your father's old friend who used to print out your family pictures. I found his address with the help of Mr & Mrs.Jain and had contacted him. He told that your father had used to give him negatives of all your family pictures. Therefore, if he lost any picture he could've printed it out again. Luckily, I searched with him the half of the day and finally we found the negatives of these pictures in his storeroom. I requested him to print out these family photographs and seeing my desperation, he agreed to print out them today itself and sent me just before you came back home"

She let out the long breath and smiled broadly, telling him from the start and Arnav felt his heart swelled with the immense proud and love for his wife. A broad grin appeared on his face and he pulled and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, Khushi.. Thank you for bringing them back to me" She felt something hot, wet fell on her shoulder and knew it was his tears; she wanted him to spill the grief out . She knew she had been succeeded when she saw that huge grin and contentment on his face.

He pulled her closer to his heart and they both turned towards the wall, their eyes scanned the pictures with the same love and joy.

"I was scared to come here as I knew I couldn't get these beautiful memories back"

"Memories can never fade away, Arnav as they live in our hearts and we should cherish them instead getting scared of them"

She spoke softly and he tilted his head to meet with her gaze and it was the first time since they met, she saw him free of grief, when she felt him free of those scared memories.

"Yes, you are right. We should cherish these memories instead getting scared of them. When we lost something we couldn't get it back, but we can keep the memories always in our heart"

She smiled, leaned, and kissed his lips briefly.

"Don't forget my dear husband; there is another gift for you"

He smiled broadly at her seductive voice, leaned, and stole a brief kiss before speaking huskily.

"And I'm desperate to get my third gift"
