Part 11

Khushi opened the door to see the room basking in darkness. Moving inside, she saw the silhouette of her husband. Wiping the tears that flowed down her cheek, she moved towards him.

Kneeling in front of him, she moved his hands away from his face.

"Tell him I am sorry ...please stop him ..."

She heard his voice thick with pain and helplessness, begging her. With a sob escaping her mouth, she pulled him in her arms, hugging him close.

"Arnav ji ..." she bit her lips, not wanting to cry. She needs to be strong for him. "Arnav ji , ...please...please stop crying ...you are scaring me ..." she ran her fingers in his hair, his tears burning the skin of her neck. "Please ... don't worry ...please listen to me ..."

"Tell him I am sorry ... Tell him I didn't mean all that I said ...tell him please...stop him ... You know I love him ... Tell him I love him ... I know I have wronged him in many ways , I know that ...I am guilty ... But please ... He ...he sometimes reminds me so much of his mother ...and then...then I say all those things I don't mean ...I love him ... I do, Khushi ..." He managed to say between the hiccups. He knows he has wronged his Son. Every single time when he had refused to look at him, talk to him, play with him, eat with him,.. each and every moment haunts him. Those memories make him feel like a monster. He was hurt, betrayed, broken, and in all these, he had abandoned his boy. But now he is not ready to lose him. He wants him with him. He wants to love him. He wants to make up for all the wrongs he had done to him.

Khushi pulled away from the hug and cupped his face. "Arnav ji ...please ...listen to me ..." Wiping his face, she kissed his cheek. " He isn't going away from you ... He just needs some time alone , so that he can forget everything happened here ...which is not possible for him to do if he stays here ... " She made him look into her eyes. "I know you love him ...You love him more than your life ..I understand you were hurt, betrayed ... You were destroying yourself , then how can I expect you to feel anything for anyone ... But you have to understand him too ... He was hurt too ...he was betrayed too ... You should give him sometime ... I promise you Arnav ji, you will never lose him ... Please trust me ..Trust me , please? I am not saying all this to get rid of him, Arnav ji ... "

Arnav rested his forehead against hers. "Sorry ..." he took a shuddering breath. "So sorry ...I was angry, Khushi ... I am sorry ...I just didn't wanted him to go away, and you were ...I am sorry "

"I ...I understand , Arnav ji ... Just don't hurt yourself ... Trust me ...It will take some time, but everything will be alright , I promise ... You will have your Aryan with you, I know ... Just give him some time ... Hmmm?"

Arnav nodded.

Khushi cleared his hair from his forehead and planted a loving kiss there. "You don't have to worry about anything .. I am there with you ...You trust me, don't you?"

"You are my only anchor in this world, Khushi ...Without you, I will go back to the hollow life I was living ...or maybe this time I will di ... "

Khushi placed her lips on his, stopping him from saying anything further. Her lips moved on his, giving him slow, loving, assuring kiss. "I am never going to leave you .." She breathed against his lips. "Trust me ..."

Arnav looked in her warm and loving eyes, the two orbs which holds the power to pull him out of the abyss, may how deep and frightening the abyss is. Cupping her face with his slightly trembling hands, he kissed her lips. "I trust you ... More than myself..." his lips moved to her cheek, tracing the curve of her cheekbone, savoring the soft, warm feel of her skin against his lips. "I love you ..." His left hand traveled to the back of her neck, holding her as his lips again settled on hers, taking everything she was offering him.

"I ... I need you Khushi ..." His lips moved to her neck, his wanting lips burning her skin. His hand moved from her neck to her hips, pulling her close to him.

Khushi shuddered in his hold, his burning touch melting her in his arms. She heard a soft groan from him as her fingers got lost in his thick hair, pulling him closer. "I am there with you ..." she whispered against his lips, looking in his eyes smoldering with need and love. Standing straight, she cupped his face and laid him down on the bed. Bending over him, she looked into his pained eyes, her soft fingers caressing his forehead, trying to erase the creases of pain. "You have me ... And I love you too ..."

Arnav just stared into her assuring eyes, wanting to believe everything her eyes were promising him, and forget everything else. Cupping her hips, he pulled her over him. "I ...know ..." He said as he laid her on the bed and came over her. "Thank you ...Thank you for everything, love ... " he showered her face with kisses, his heart full of gratitude and love for this girl , who had reached him despite of him pushing her away with all his might, who always stood beside him without caring about the world, whose enchanting smile and warmth always pulls him out of his despair and promises him a world filled with love and lot more. He pulled little away to look at her, her beautiful eyes closed and the red choli clad chest heaving rapidly. She made such a enticing picture that his insides ached. His hand lifted to disentangle her dupatta from her head, and soon their clothes were out and made a heap near the bed.

Khushi opened her eyes to look into his liquid one, her cheeks burning. She lowered her eyes, suddenly feeling shy. There are very few moments where she had felt shy in his presence, but nothing like how she felt now, lying naked beneath him.

Arnav dipped his head and kissed her closed eyes, her burning cheeks, and finally settled on her lovely lips. "Are you feeling shy ...?" Arnav asked as he took her lips in a slow, loving kiss. His tongue tangled with hers, tasting her sweetness, exploring every inch of her mouth.

Khushi's hand lifted in the need of some support to find his broad shoulder. She shook her head as she felt him move away, not wanting to admit that she was feeling shy.

Arnav tucked a strand behind her ear and stared at her sweet face. "Then why aren't you opening your eyes?" he probed on his elbows and stared at the red girl beneath him. She still didn't opened her eyes, and despite of all the emotional turmoil he had went through not so long ago, he felt a chuckle bubbling inside his chest. She is the most unpredictable and fascinating thing he had ever come across.

Khushi opened her eyes to look into his smiling ones. A small smile bloomed on her lips too, happy that she had managed to make him smile. Her hands moved to his face, caressing his stubble. "Because I want to feel you ...and engrave this moment on my soul so that I never forget this night ... You have no idea what you mean to me, you have no idea how special every moment is which I spend with you ..." She pulled him down, kissing the corner of his lips. " The word love' isn't enough to describe what I feel for you ... It's something else, complete madness ... From the time I had seen you outside that brothel, I have lost count on how many times I had lied to Amma to go there again, just to see you ...I don't know how many days, weeks, months I had spend thinking how to contact you ... I don't know how many times I had begged your receptionist to let me see you ... It never mattered to me how many times you pushed me away, all I wanted was you... I don't even remember what all crazy things I had done in my madness to have you in my life ... "

But he remembers. He dipped his head, capturing her soft lips. He remembers all. He remembers the crazy teenager who use to stalk him like a love struck puppy. His lips moved to her cheek, savoring the silk feel of her skin against his lips. He remembered the girl whose eyes use to plead him to not drown himself in pain. He kissed her eyes. He remember the girl who use to stand few feet away from him, afraid of him, but still scolding him for destroying his own life, her little red nose flaring at him. He kissed her nose. He remembered the girl who use to confess her love for him, her every confession having the power to stir something inside his cold heart. His lips moved to her throat, overwhelmed with desire and love, his teeth sank on the tender flesh on her neck, branding her. He remembered the girl who had demolished all the walls he had built around him and reached him , offering him the world of love she has for him in her heart. He kissed her heart. " I love you, Khushi ...and you have no idea what you have done to me, what you mean to me..." He confessed, feeling her soft hands on his back , pulling him closer. Her innocent touch driving him to madness. His mouth found her breast, drawing a moan from her. She is his God, who has granted him a new life. And he worshiped her. His mouth finding every inch of her body, caressing it, loving it, worshiping it.

Khushi's head spinned with the love and desire she was feeling right now. His mouth on her skin sent jolts after jolts of wild sensation through her body. She buried her face in the pillow as his fingers explored her intimately, making her dizzy with passion.

Arnav again covered her body with his, his insides aching with need. His sweaty palms cupped her face. "Khushi ... it will hurt ...a little ..." he kissed her forehead.

Khushi opened her eyes, giving him the approval he needed.

That was all he needed. With one swift movement, he became a part of her. His lips resting on hers in a slow kiss as he moved in a rhythm. "Relax ..." he whispered softly against her cheek as he felt her hold back. "You wanted to feel the moment ...just feel it then ...don't hold yourself back" He quickened the rhythm, the feel of her around him driving him to the passion he had never lived before.

As his loving words weaved his magic on her burning senses, she felt herself relax against him, savoring the pleasure she had never felt before. And just like that, she splintered in his arms, a scream dying down in her throat. She faintly heard him calling her name, and soon she felt her comforting weight on her. But it didn't last long as he rolled off her, taking her with him.

Arnav gathered her slightly trembling form close to his heart. Kissing her hair, he pulled the blanket to cover them both. "...sleep ..." he patted her head as he heard her call him softly. Feeling at peace, he too closed his eyes, for the first time without thinking about his painful past, and his guilt strangling him.

Hope you all liked it!
