"Arnav Ji... Whatever happened to me that happened to you also... in these both situations there is no mistake of yours... then why are you wasting your time? You didn't do anything then and now, then why are drowning in this guilt? For how many days you will stay like this? Don't you want to revenge on the person who did this to you and me? Will you leave the person who is the reason for our states? Tell me Arnav Ji... Tell me?"

"Khushi... what?"

"Your chacha Ji... he is the reason for mine and your situation. He is the person who helped your dad in snatching my dad's property. He is the person who killed my parents showing it as an accident. And he is the same person who did these all to you and killed your parents too. Do you know why I brought you here? Because, he doesn't know about me or my house. In fact he didn't know that Khushi Gupta is still alive. He is thinking that I already dead in that accident with my parents. And now he is trying to kill you. When I went to office yesterday, Purna came and told me that some people came there and asked about you showing your photo. Luckily they asked her. She said you are not coming to college after the things happened"

Everything Khushi telling him is like shocks coming one by one. He never thought that his chacha Ji also was the reason for Khushi's this state. He was the reason for her parents' death. And it's a murder? Not any accident! He looked at her with so much concern. Tears rolled down to his cheeks. Khushi looked at him with so much love and wiped the tears nodding her head in a no.

"Now tell me Arnav Ji... will you leave that person, who made our lives hell, in peace? Do we have to live like this? Losing everything we have?" she didn't get any response from him.

"Hmm... I never expected that my love is this much weak. I never expected my love also will fail me like you did... It's ok Arnav Ji... I won't and can't force you for anything. Do whatever you feel right. It's already late now. Go and sleep"

When she about to move from there, she felt his hand holding hers. She turned back to look at him

"Mujh se bhi nahi hota Khushi... I also lost my family. With the effect of my dad's deeds, I pushed my childhood friend away. With my deeds I lost my wife. I want my friend back, I want my wife back. I want my life as my wife likes. Tell me Khushi... what you want me to do? I will do whatever u say... tell me... I know... my family did wrong... I did wrong... but I can't step back from you... do you know, why I did that to you in college? Because I hated the effect you had on me. I hated the truth that your presence did matter me. I hated myself after knowing that I'm started falling for you. I couldn't take that feel. After whatever my dad said about you, I couldn't believe myself falling for you. I just want to prove to myself that your pain, your agony never effect me. To prove that I was forced me on you. Hmm... but, what a fool I'm? After that night I never slept peacefully. Every day, every night each second your voice echoed in my ears begging me to leave. When I closed my eyes I only saw the tearful face of yours. You don't know Khushi... I literally went to hell with your memories of that fateful day. I thought falling for you is a crime. But now I know, the feeling which I have for you... is not my decision... It's destiny's decision. Now neither I want to lose you nor do I want to stop my heart feeling or falling for you. It may sound like I'm the opportunist. You may think that after taking your help I'm saying all these. Think whatever you want... but this is my decision... if you don't have money also... I won't give any damn now. Now I know very well, what more important is in life. Now I know money is least important to me when I have you beside me." He knelt down before her and said, "I Love you Khushi... here I'm surrendering myself to you... You just tell me what I have to do... I will fulfil all your wishes... I will fulfil all your dreams. You just order me Khushi... but please forgive me for what I did... I promise you it won't happen again... I'm sorry... I'm terribly sorry..." he finished his words looking at her with so much hope for gaining the forgiveness.

She didn't talk anything. She stayed there staring at him without any expression in her face.

"Khushi... say something. Please..." but she didn't.

"You are scaring me now... talk to me... Khushi..." he stood up and asked her. But no use

"What the hell... talk to me damn it... you are scaring me now... KHUSHI..." unable to control himself he shouted at her. His heart is thudding. He saw a small smile appeared on her face turning into a big one. He took two steps back to stable his legs, from the force which Khushi hugged him. He immediately held her tight not letting her fell on the floor.

"I love you Arnav Ji... I never ever thought you will love me back. I'm so happy... thank you... thank you for accepting my love... OH MY GOD... I couldn't believe this... I Love you..."

"Why wouldn't I loved you back Khushi? Aur wo bhi jab tum hamesha mera saath deti ho... I Love you too Khushi..."

They both hugged each other to let their hearts know about their love. To let their hearts know that they are not alone in this world. To let their hearts know that one more heart is beating for them...

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

After their confession... Khushi made him agree to study in the reputed college of Delhi. She used her bank balance for that. She stopped going to college. She continued her studies online. She worked hard doing overtimes in the office to earn the required money. Arnav also studied very well without any difficult, as he is an intelligent student from the start. He wants to give a wonderful life to Khushi... he also got scholarship in Harvard. He went to Harvard to complete his education. There in Harvard, he made his mark as a best student with his intelligence. He studied very hard while doing part time jobs.

But he never stopped talking with Khushi. He also took care of her in his absence. He asked his family doctor to take care of Khushi which he agreed. He also maintained his relation with Mr. Agarwal, Khushi's boss and Khushi's friend's father. Every day he called them to ask about Khushi. After finishing his studies, he stayed there two more years to gain some experience in business.

He came back after a long 4 years back. When he came out from the arrivals of Indira Gandhi international airport, New Delhi; he felt a delicate body hugging him. He couldn't recognise the person with touch. When he looked at the person, he felt the ground shook beneath his legs.

"Khushi???" he whispered.

Before he says something, she took him to the taxi stand. The address she said to the taxi driver, made him surprised. He looked at Khushi who nodded her head with a small smile. He wants to ask her about the change of address. He waited till they enter into their house.

"Khushi... Whose room is this? Why were we here? Why didn't we go to your house?"

"Arnav Ji... first you freshen up yourself... then we will talk everything. I will tell you everything and anything you want to know... ok... first you go and fresh" she pushed him into washroom and went to kitchen make something for him.

He came out of washroom and went to kitchen to see her preparing something. He hugged her from behind making her shiver with his touch.

"I miss you a lot Khushi..." he kissed her shoulder softly. She closed her eyes. She turned back and hugged him as much tightly as she can. "I missed you too..." he hugged her back. They stayed like that for few moments, before Khushi broke the hug. She smiled at him and turned back to prepare something to him. But she stopped her work, when he held her hand.

"I already had my dinner in flight Khushi"

"Oh... then wait I will prepare coffee for you"

"No... I don't want anything now except you..." he took her in his warm embrace. She blushed slightly and rested her head on his broad chest.

They sat on the mattress in the room, hugging each other. After few moments... Arnav broke the silence.

"Hmm now tell me... what's wrong? Why are you looking so thin? Are you not well? What about your studies? How they are going? What about your job? How is it? And why are we here? What happened to your house?"

"Oho... Arnav Ji... you ask so many questions... fine let me tell you one by one... first one... there is nothing wrong. Everything fine... and also I'm fine... and as you came back I'm going to be perfectly fine... about my studies, I stopped going to college. I'm continuing my studies through online"
"But why?"

"I'm not comfortable to go to college anymore Arnav Ji... and also I want to go to office. Now I'm doing the job in full time basis. Sometimes I'm also doing over times. Before you ask the reason I will tell you. I couldn't stay alone in the house. So... fine... and then about the house... we are here because I stay here only. This is my house"

"What ? is this your house? Then what about that house you stayed before I left for USA?"

"Hmm... chodiyena Arnav Ji... lets sleep for now... we will talk later... please..."

"But Khushi..."

"Fine I will tell you everything... after you left for USA, your chacha Ji... came to know about me in our college. So he came here to... to... kill me" his hold on her shoulder tightens after hearing this. She smiled a little and continued. "But luckily I escaped from that attack. After they left from there, I took some of my things and went to Purna's house. I changed a lot of places in these four years. For now... I'm staying here. When I went to our house for few times, I saw his men outside my house. So I didn't dare to go there again. I kept changing my address to safe myself" she completed.

"Everything will be fine Khushi... from now on... I will take care of him. I will take care of everything... you just relax... I earned enough experience to start a business. And tomorrow I'm going to apply for a loan in a bank. And after that... everything will be fine... and I will make everything right Khushi... just trust me..." she nodded her head looking into his eyes with happy tears in her eyes.

"And I need your support in this Khushi... will you be with me?" he asked looking into her eyes.

"Always" she smiled.

After that they both talked a lot about the things happened with both of them. After sharing lot things, they drifted into deep slumber cuddling to each other dreaming about their future...
