ArShi FF #2 ~ || The Fault In Our Stars ||CHAPTER 7 UP! 9/3 - Page 10

" Hello? " He spoke in his regular tone.


" I'm Arnav Singh Raizada." Came the voice from the other end.

After having heard the person's name, he immediately stood up straight in shock. He, Arnav Singh Raizada, the owner of AR industries which was flourishing and growing with every passing seconds was talking to him.Suddenly, he felt inferior and small to this personality. He really couldn't believe his luck.


" Hello, sir." Damn, what a reply !


" I want to hire you." Arnav said in a flat tone.
However, Avinash soon got his impression. He wouldn't beat around the bush, but would straight come to the point. How could he ever deny this opportunity? NEVER.


" Sure, sir." Came the dutiful reply.


" I want you to find out more about Khushi Kumari Gupta and Shayam Manohar Jha. Every small detail that is possible. Most importantly, if they love each other. Not that I'm suspecting my wife, but I want information about what Shayam and about all his activities." He said in one go, with a husky voice. Avinash listened with utmost attentiveness and noted down the names on a piece of paper lying nearby. Wife.


" I will, sir. Thanks for considering me fit for this job." He replied obligated.

But, Arnav was in no mood of formalities, so he just hung up leaving a confused Avinash behind.



Since then, he has been finding all bits of information from wherever he could get. He disguised himself, and visited Khushi's family to found out any piece of info possible. Luckily, they just blurted out everything.
Proud of his research, he drank his Latte and waited for Arnav.


Their meeting stretched on for two long hours that seemed an eternity to Arnav who spoke nothing, but just listened to all the facts that were being presented by Avinash. He tried hard not to cry or to break down having realized his mistake. Or, Sin perhaps.




So what makes anger different from the six other deadly sins? It's pretty simple really, you give into a sin like envy or pride and you only hurt yourself. Try lust or coveting and you'll only hurt yourself and one or two others. But anger, anger is the worst... the mother of all sins... Not only can anger drive you over the edge, when it does you take an awful lot of people with you." His anger had not only destroyed Khushi's life but everyone else's. Most importantly, without them being at fault.
In childhood, he wasn't the angry young man. Before his parents died, to be precise. He was a merry and a happy-go-around guy who used to joke around. This attitude made him admirable everywhere. But, life is unfair. When his parents died, he isolated himself from everyone for he did not allow anyone to come close to him. He was convinced that everyone's just going to hurt him. That's how he changed. Its true that pain can change people.
All these thoughts twirled his mind when he made his way back to the hospital after having met the person at Starbucks where he received a big shock which was both pleasant yet surprising which made him feel guilty even more. The revelation was brought in a cruel way, with him sinking in the pool of ever-lasting guilt.
' Khushi was innocent.' These words ranged in his mind as he drove back to the Hospital.


Avinash's words twirled in Arnav's mind which were just stunned due to the revelation.
" Sir, Shayam Manohar Jha had disguised himself and hid his true identity from Khushi. Unwillingly, she had decided to marry him. But, when she realized that Shayam was Anjali's husband, she left him at the spot. From what I've concluded is that she tried hard to tell Anjali about it but due to her pregnancy, Khushi could not speak a word. I've collected this information from her family and her relatives.". He said in one go, fearing that how he would react.

But, Arnav did not speak a word. Emotions collided in his brain as he digested this information that was so brutal. He was, in one way, happy that Khushi did not like Shayam but, the fact that he had hurt her without even her mistake, killed him from the inside. He dismissed the detective, and went for his car in the parking lot still numb. Behind the tinted shades of his car, he let out his tears to flow. He cried, for this was burning him from the inside. Seeing Khushi like that, was killing him. Moreover, he had given her pain and that too, with her being innocent. How more cruel could he ever be?



In that very moment, ASR was replaced by Arnav who had a beating heart inside him. This heart was now beating for Khushi, the on who taught him to love and live. A heart that was filled with grief and guilt for destroying the very person who was the reason for his heartbeats. He swore he would right every wrong that he did with Khushi.


Payal reached out for her baby sister, who was eager to leave this hospital and get back to home. She hugged Khushi, with an unknown fear. What if something happened to her? Her grip on Khushi tightened at the very thought of letting her go. Never.
Khushi now had been the victim of surprises since the very morning. First Arnav, and Payal who was not talking to her. Till now. Indeed the whole family was standing in front of her, consoling each other seeing her miserable state. They all hugged her and cried, while all the time she looked confused. They say they never really miss you until you are dead or gone.



After 3 hours, the family decided to leave Khushi alone but Payal was adamant for she wanted to talk to her. So they left them along in the room.


" Khushi, why did you commit suicide?" She asked the one question everyone was dying to hear the answer.


On the other hand, Arnav came back from the cafe and made his way towards Khushi's room. Next he saw Payal and Khushi talking so he decided not to disturb. But, he heard Khushi say," Di, please I don't want to answer this."

Nice update... loved it 😊

khushi's answer is justified

cant wait till next update

it would be interesting what khushi will do after 4 months

Finally the whole misunderstanding is clear. Arnav get a bit late hiring a detective and questioning his doubts for Khushi.

Things are out of control now and poor Arnav he don't see any way to make up his actions of past. Even loving her again won't do good because he has seen its reaction.

A person true values come out when person is dead or missing. Same is the case with Khushi, everyone is showering her with utmost care and love when they realize that they can't live without khushi in their live.

Poor Khushi she has to face death so that people can love her, the same love for which she crave once.

Khushi is a superb actress, she still care for others when she feel numb. She brilliantly lie about her relation with Arnav which is a sham.

For the past three months Khushi was living hell and I am sure it's effect could be visibly seen on khushi's face then why at that time no one question her relation with Arnav? Unfortunately every question to her marriage has one answer 'No'.

Poor Khushi she feel trap and she desperately want three months to be over so that she can breath again. She is the one who is destroyed most between the egos of Shyam and Arnav.

Update soon.

P.S. I am very surprise to know that you are ninth standard student and soon going to be tenth grader. You write brilliantly and more maturely than a ninth class student. You are very talented.

All the best for the exams.
