Part 8

His "Sorry" that he confessed today had a perfect touch which she never felt before in any of his apologies. Today she came to know why he was so much behind earning money. A man who never got Love in his life and wanted to prosper in life in terms of name and money was only because he had to face such odd situations in his childhood. Though after asking an apology from Khushi for all his past behaviour as a husband he didnt wait for long to get her forgiveness, Khushi stood there for long time alone thinking how his childhood messed up their lives. Wish he had told her about all this before when they were married .At least that could have helped her take a wise decision. She realised that just not him but even she was equally responsible for their broken marriage.

Aarav when woke up , Khushi tried to talk him, pamper him but his mood was off. He didnt speak a word. Though he allowed Khushi to make him bathe and then also get him ready for school, he still didnt speak a word to her. At the breakfast table, Arnav wished him a good morning but he seemed to be the same with his dad too. Garima served Aarav his chocos while Arnav whispered to Khushi.

Arnav: Is he still upset?

Khushi: Yes. He didnt speak a word to me. Its not good Arnav.

Arnav: I know. Leave it to me. I will try changing his mood .

Khushi hoped Arnav could do this .They sat on their chairs respectively.

Arnav: Aarav? How about a basket ball match again ? This time I bet you will lose.

Aarav had no excitement even after knowing his father wanted to play basket ball with him. He kept on munching the chocos silently. Arnav and Khushi shared a glance and then both looked back at him.

Khushi: Impossible Arnav. Aarav can never lose when I am in his team. We both will Win. Hai naa Aarav?

Arnav: Girls ? And Basket ball? Stop fooling Aarav, Khushi. You cant play.

Khushi: I can. And who said girls cannot play Basket ball? I will prove you wrong today. I will team with Aarav and you alone.

Aarav pushed the plate aside to get up. Arnav and Khushi both caught hold of him before he could leave this conversation.

Arnav: Champ? Whats wrong? Aaj dad ko haraane ka mood nahi hai kya? (Dont you wish to play with your dad?)

Aarav: I have school dad. Bye.

He ran towards the door while Arnav and Khushi kept on calling him . Garima asked them to calm down and told that she will drop Aarav to school. Garima left with Aarav and Khushi angrily sat on the chair again.

Arnav: Khushi relax. I will handle him.

Khushi: Handle? How will you do that? Didnt you see how upset he was.?

Arnav: I saw it. But why are you angry on me ? I am not the reason for all that happened tonight. If that Akash wouldnt have proposed you, Aarav would never have come to know about our relationship status.

Khushi got up in anger.

Khushi: How easily you put blames on others Arnav.? Akash is still an outsider , but you? You are Aarav's father. Couldnt you realise he can listen our fights?

Arnav clutched her arms pulling her close.

Arnav: How can you expect me to stay cool when someone else is proposing you Dammit ? Do you even realise what I went through when that Akash touched you? I felt like kicking that ..

He was about to use some foul language but he controlled his tongue and stopped. Their breathes fastened as both realised how close they were . She moved his hand off her and stepped back.

Khushi: So much of possessiveness is not good for your Ex wife Arnav. Stop all this . Please. I have stopped dreaming anything related to us. Its been 5 long years . I have even stopped thinking how it felt when you touched me. I have stopped everything that makes me go weak.

She folded her palms before him pleading.

Khushi: I beg you Arnav. Dont make me suffer more. Everything was fine until you came here to Lucknow. Your presence started giving Aarav hopes of being with you forever . But now that he knows what the truth is, I dont want him to suffer anymore. Please just .. Just go away .. Please .

He never thought she will ask something like this from him. She was asking him to leave this house? This place? Aarav ? And most importantly she was asking him to leave her? He was hurt. Without speaking anything else ,he left out whereas she ran back to her room crying.

It was very shocking for both garima and Aarav to know in the evening that Arnav was planning to leave again to Delhi .He was packing his bags which they saw and questioned him. Garima tried to stop him but he didnt wanted to listen anything. Khushi's pleads of asking him leave this place was enough for his decision to be firm.

Aarav was in Garima's arms sobbing gently as he saw his father coming down with the luggage. He never wanted his father to leave. He wanted Arnav to stay with him and his mumma forever. Khushi was holding her tears unlike her son. She couldnt afford to let this man know how much his absence had always affected her and will haunt her even more this time as she had known the reason behind his workaholic nature. She remained rooted at the Couch not looking at Arnav even once. Arnav kept his bag aside and took blessings from Garima. He then tried to take Aarav from her arms but he wasnt willing to go to his father today. Not forcing him much , Arnav just kissed his hand and then he stopped towards Khushi. Both knew what was happening. Both knew this was not what they wanted anymore. She still didnt meet his eyes and kept looking at the floor. Her hair strand tickled her forehead like always. Involuntarily, Arnav moved his fingers, brushing them on her cheeks, he tucked the hair strand behind her ear. Their hearts beated rapidly again, making them both remember every moment they had spent in each others arms until now. Tears moisted his eyes and he couldnt bare the pain within him anymore. Someone had to speak up and he did it for them.

Arnav: Khushi please come back... to me..

Khushi looked at his face with astonishment and then her anger rose again.

Khushi: Back? For how many months this time? 2? 4?

Arnav : Forever.

Tears rolled down her cheeks when he said that word. FOREVER. This is what she wanted always their relation to last. He held both her hands in his and kissed her fingers drawing her close to him. Few drops of tears from his eyes fell directly on her fist too.

Arnav: We both dont want this Khushi. So lets stop pretending. Give me one chance to sort our marriage. I know we are Divorced but I want to marry you again. I want to take you and Aarav back with me to Delhi in that same house which always belonged to you. I want to give you everything that you always missed from me earlier. I promise to make things better this time Khushi. Please give me a chance. Not just for Aarav's sake.. No matter Aarav will keep getting our love forever even if we dont stay together, but I want you to give a chance to me for that Love which you always had for me from our marriage day. PLease Khushi.. Just one chance.

His demands had reached her heart and she would be a fool to deny them. SHe noded giving him a positive gesture. The smile which his lips curved for showed how thankful he was for been given this chance of showering the Love on his Ex wife and Son. They both turned to Garima who was still waiting behind and was thanking her God that finally she was able to succeed in getting their lives on the right track .Aarav was happy too. Garima told him what his mother and father were planning to and that from now only he will never get divided attention from them but a combined love from both his parent. He was very happy .He ran in Arnav and Khushi's arms who hugged him , kissed him and asked forgiveness from him too for not giving a proper life in these 5 years. He was too naive to forgive them because he knew their future was so brightening now onwards .There would be no place better than staying with both his parent under the same roof.

It was Dinner time and Akash was invited purposely . He was sitting beside Garima and Aarav just opposite to Arnav and Khushi who were together

Akash: Toh Shaadi kab hai?

Khushi: You dont deserve to know that Akash. How could you plot such a game plan to get me and Arnav together?

Akash: Hahhaaa. It was a combined idea. Ask your mother. She is the one who thought I am such a good actor that I can get some jealousy out of your Ex Husband.

Garima: Aah..Correction Akash. Not Ex Husband. To be Husband .

Akash and GArima laughed while Arnav and Khushi gave a quick glance to each other and continued eating .

Akash: Seriously guys. I dont think you both should delay anymore. How about a Court marriage? That will be quicker if ASR uses his contacts.

Arnav: I too think that would be easier. I will ask my lawyer to make the marriage papers ready. After court marriage, we can do the rituals in a temple just among us.

GArima: Aww. So that means my daughter and Grandson will leave me and go to Delhi?

Akash: Come on Aunty. So what if they goes? I am here. Adopt me.

GArima embraced Akash from the side feeling happy. Khushi was in tears again with the thought of leaving her mother alone. Arnav realised this and held her hand below the table assuring her that she need not had to worry. May be just like GArima devised a plan to get them together, they both can devise something which can make Garima stay with them in Delhi at Shantivan.
