Arshi Three S ' Saath Hoon ' Pyaar se - Part 3C(last part) u - Page 6

Arnav's eyes filled with tears. He couldn't bear this concern from the girl, he tried to destroy. He couldn't face her after knowing the truth that what he is enjoying the property is in fact hers. He really felt guilty for blaming her for snatching the money from his, where he is the culprit who snatched the property from her.

"Khushi!!!" he called her trying to make her understand that how much sorry he is feeling. The next thing he did left Khushi baffled.

"Arnav Ji... Ye aap kya kar hahi hai? Uthiye... Arnav Ji... please sub dekhe rahe hai... get up Arnav Ji..."

Everybody, who is watching the great ASR kneeling down before Khushi and asking forgiveness, was shocked to the core. Nobody ever guessed that they will see the mighty ASR kneel down with folding hands and lowering head will ask forgiveness from the girl which he tried to destroy.

"Arnav Ji... you are embarrassing me now... please get up" everybody heard her saying.

"No Khushi... not before you forgive me. Please Khushi... please I'm really sorry for what I did to you... I'm really sorry for the words I used for you. Whatever my father did..." he stopped by tensed Khushi

"Arnav Ji... Please... Stop there. I don't want to hear anything from the past. Please... you get up... everybody is watching us..."

"No Khushi... I won't. Let them see us. Let them know the truth. Let them hate me" he turned to everybody and said in a voice that everybody can listen to him "Khushi is the right heir of the property which I enjoyed till now. She is not the girl who is trying to snatch my property. I'm the person who snatched hers. I'm the culprit here. She is innocent. The reason is my..."

"ARNAV JI..." she shouted "Just stop there where you are. Don't say any word about anything now. You just come with me. NOW..." she dragged him outside the college.

They both heard people saying words at Arnav and Khushi. Some are cursing Arnav for what he did. And some are expressing their pity towards Khushi. They both hopped a taxi and she asks the driver to go nearest hospital.

"Hmm... looks like you neglected your diabetics these days Arnav. This is not at all acceptable. Don't do this again" warned the Raizada's family doctor after completing some tests with Arnav.

"I couldn't concentrate on what is happening with me, after knowing what happened previously with us" said Arnav with dejected voice.

"Hmm... I can understand. Sorry for what happened, but that doesn't mean you can be reckless. This is your prescription. Take care of yourself. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask me"

Nodding his head Arnav left the doctor's cabin towards Khushi, who is waiting outside.

"What doctor said?" she asked

"Nothing..." he said

"Hmm... fine... stay here," saying this she went inside to talk with doctor before Arnav can stop.

After talking with doctor about Arnav's health, she took him to her home.

"Sorry, if you feel discomfort. For now, I can only afford this. TILL YOU RECOVER, you can stay here. After that, it's your wish. You can go where ever you want. Feel comfortable and ask whatever you want" saying this she left to washroom to freshen up.

Arnav looked around to see the house. It's a single bedroom apartment. It has only bedroom, kitchen and living room cum dining hall. He looked around the house to find no television, no fridge, no washing machine, no sofa and no proper bed. He found one mattress spread on the floor in bed room and one shelf with Khushi's cloths... He felt guilt taking over his senses. I should live here, not her. She should live in the mansion. She should live with her parents in a secured area but not here. We are the reason for her condition and orphan state' he thought. He felt weak after knowing what his father and family did to Khushi and how she is living her life.

When he comes to living room, he also found, two plastic chairs with one small tea table and only one shelf with Khushi's books along with one photo of her parents and one photo of HIM. It shocked him to the core. He couldn't believe his eyes. Did she really have my photograph? But why did she have my picture after what I did to her? Did she still waiting for me as Arnav not as ASR? Am I that much lucky to have her in my life again? Do I deserve her?" His line of thoughts broke by a small tap on his shoulder. He turned to look at the most beautiful eyes with so much concern for him looking at him.

"Aap theek ho? Main kab se bularahi hoon, but you are not responding. Are you fine? Do you need something? Are you feeling weak?" he looked at her intently yet blankly without answering her questions. He watched her eyes gaining tensed look. He felt something in his heart.

"Kuch tho boliye Arnav Ji... you are scaring me now. Is everything fine with you? Why aren't you talking anything? Arnav Ji..." she shook him unable to control her concern about him to get some response. But her trails went in vain. Actually he couldn't talk anything after seeing her in this condition and her concern for him. He felt guilty. He felt he undeserved this. He sat on the floor with a thud scaring Khushi. He heard her calling him. But his voice didn't help him to respond to her. He felt like he is drowning in the pool of guilt. He watched her almost running to kitchen to get something for him to eat. He stood and walked behind her towards the kitchen.

When he entered into kitchen, he saw Khushi cooking something. Not something... its aloo paratha. It's your favourite' his mind said. He felt tug in his heart. He cleared his throat to get her attention.

"Two minutes Arnav Ji... it's almost over. In two minutes I will serve the food for you. Sorry for making you wait. Please give me two minutes" he heard her saying. She knew she has to control her feelings for him. But not now' she thought.

"Khushi..." he called her.

"Please Arnav Ji... don't disturb me...let me finish your food first. You need to take food as soon as possible. Your sugar levels already dropped in the morning. I don't want this to happen again" she is not in her senses after knowing about her love's health condition. She doesn't want to lose the only person she has.

"Khushi stop..." he said

"Please Arnav Ji... let me do my work. You go and rest. I will call you"

He went to her and made her stand up from the floor with such a force.

"Khushi I said stop..." he shouted. She passed a confused look at him.

"Stop Khushi... Just stop... I won't deserve your concern. Can't you understand that? Please don't make it difficult for me. Please... stop it..."

"Arnav Ji...?"

"Please Khushi... please... don't... I can't..."

"Hmm... I too can't Arnav Ji... sorry..."

"Why Khushi? Why can't you?"

"Because I'm not ASR"

"What?"

"Hmm... as ASR deals with close ones, I never do that. In fact I never can do that. I still feel you are the only one I have in my family and you are my husband. So, I can't stay without caring about you. You please sit there for some time; I will serve you the food."

He doesn't know how to feel about this. He doesn't know whether to feel happy for knowing about Khushi's feelings or feel bad for what he did to this innocent soul.

"So, can I get your forgiveness for what I did and how I behaved with you?" he just asked while his heart beating in a fast pace.

"I still believe that you are still my family. But that doesn't mean I will forgive you for what you did that day to me."

"But Khushi... you said that you can't stay without caring me?"

"I am really sorry for making you think like this Arnav Ji... Do you remember how I begged you to leave me? Do you remember how much I hate what u did that day? Do you know how I wanted that which happened in between us? Do you know how much I loved you? Do you have any idea that how much you were important to me? Do you have any idea that how much I was scared on that day? NO... you never knew that... so please don't ask my forgiveness. As a wife, I will fulfil my duties. But that doesn't mean I will forgive you. Sorry if I hurt you"

"If you don't want to forgive me then why are doing all these? Nobody asked you to do?"

"My dad never said me to back off from my duties. If you agree or not I still feel I'm your wife and my dad also said that. He asked me to take care of you in his absence. He knew that one day you will come to this situation. That's why he asked me to hold on to you. I'm just following his order. Please don't think much. And here is your food. Have it and take rest. I will be back by 11. If you need anything give me a call" saying this she gave him foods making him feel guiltier. She only know, how difficult is to talk like this.

"But where are you going now? College? But it's already 3 in the afternoon. College won't be open now..."

"Arnav Ji... I don't have anybody in my life to take care of my expenses. I have to work for that, at least I have to earn for my food, right? So, I'm going to work. I will be back by 11. You please take care"

"Are you doing job? Where? From when?"

"Yes, I'm doing job. When I completed my +2, from then onwards I'm working in my friend's dad's office. You know Purna, my best friend, her dad only gave me job. I'm working as a receptionist in his company. The salary I'm getting there is quite enough for two persons. Don't worry... take care" she left to her work.

Khushi is working as a receptionist? From her college days? From at a tender age? And I'm enjoying her property without any guilt? And I bad mouthed her for what - snatching my property? I'm sorry Khushi... I don't know I am this much bad person' thought Arnav.

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

"Khushi... do you really want this to happen dear? Are you sure what you are saying? You are asking me to get admission for Arnav in different college? Did he deserve this? Do you want this to happen?" asked Mr. Agarwal, Purna's father.

"WHAT??!!!" they heard Purna shouting at their talk.

Khushi closed her eyes knowing what's coming to her.

"What's the hell I just heard now Khushi? Is he at your home? And what are you asking dad, is it true? What's wrong with you? Don't you think you are doing wrong?"

"Purna... please calm down"

"No Khushi dear... I also have same doubts. Whatever you going to do with him, do you really think you are doing right?"

"Yes uncle... I'm sure as never before. He is in a terrible situation now. He is regretting what his father did to me. This is the best time to change him. I don't want him to go into depression. I want him to see the world confidently without any regret or guilty. I want him to be same ASR in front of the entire world. I don't want to lose him uncle. He is the only person I have in this world"

"So it means you already forgave him" asked fuming Purna.

"Yes... I did. But he doesn't know that and I don't want him to know for some time."

"What are you talking Khushi?"

"He is in a pain Purna. I just want him to be my Arnav Ji from the past. It can only happens when he stay for some time in his guilt. Only my love can make him feel that guilty. If I do all those things which will help him for his betterment, which is the best punishment he could get from me. And he will feel more guilt and then will understand my love for him. Once he understands that, he never leaves me. I want that. If he turns into my Arnav Ji... then I will help him to become a successful ASR and a best man. I have full faith on my love Purna. Trust me... I'm doing the correct thing to him. He definitely will change with this"

Both Purna and her father looked at Khushi like they are in some trance. Mr. Agarwal couldn't stop himself from clapping his hands.

"Dear... I really appreciate your efforts to bring your Arnav back. Now-a-days nobody is trying to clear the things between their spouses. They prefer to leave the relation. But you are at least trying. I am really happy for you dear. And I wish you a success. And tell me in which college you want admission for Arnav"

"Thank you for understanding my view uncle. I can't leave him like that; that too when he is in a terrible pain. He is my husband, my love and my life. I will try till my last breath. If he changes then I'm lucky. If he won't, I will try again. And please take an admission in best college. I will sponsor him."

"You?! Then how can you sponsor yourself?" asked Purna.

"I will see that later. Please uncle"
