Dark FF: Bleeding Roses#2|Sneak Peek of Part 15|24/8 - Page 4

Hospital

The suddenness with which their unnamed relationship got a name as sacred as that of marriage, was too much for a lively and young girl like Khushi to take. The person who intimidated her to an extent a chatter-box like her would start stuttering was now no longer a stranger to her, but a person who made her stranger to her own family by marrying her.

Her hand weakly and lifelessly moved towards her partition which was adorned by his blood, making her his ritualistically. The rituals which she respected more than anything else now were destroying her life. How much she wished that her respect for those rituals to get lost, but that adamant heart of hers didn't seem to listen to her at all, as it was busy bleeding in deep turmoil and sorrow.

Suddenly her boss and her recently forced husband entered into her room with the usual straight and no nonsense look plastered on his face. His gaze didn't even soften a bit even after looking at her and he claimed to love her.

Hey Devi Maiyya, what is your wish behind tying me down to a person who never values others' feelings, lives or dreams and a person who doesn't even know the true definition of love, Khushi mentally questioned her best friend, who seemed to have been upset with her lately.

" Come, Khushi. Let us go home. Doctor said that you are alright now and you just shouldn't take any stress." Arnav spoke with a certain finality in his tone which made Khushi feel as if she was an object which he owned. She felt humiliated and insulted as she felt her self-respect being snatched from her as he didn't care to ask her opinion.

What had she asked and what did she get. She had asked for a prince charming since her childhood and she got a person who was the epitome of fear and second name of devil for the entire Lucknow.

Deciding that silence is the best form of rebellion and protest, Khushi silently yet feebly rose from her sleeping position to stand up on her feet much to Arnav's surprise who believed that he would have to use force again for her to follow his instructions. But amazingly he was proven wrong.

Without any exchange of words, Arnav started walking in short strides for he knew that Khushi will neither let him hold her nor can he leave her way behind him. His way of loving was surely the way of devil but the reason behind it was extremely divine.

The silent journey which followed their silent walk was the symbol of the married life which had absolutely no life in it, for there was a lifeless soul destroyed in someone's love and there was a person whose way of loving was indifferent from that of someone's hatred.

Sheesh Mahal,

Arnav was glad that Anjali had not yet returned from her college or it would have been hard for him to convince her in front of Khushi, seeing whom Anjali would be more than sure that the marriage had happened against her wishes. After all, she was psychology student and a topper of her university.

Arnav entered his room which was had become their room along with Khushi directly without showing her the whole of Sheesh Mahal.

" This is our room, Khushi. I hope you liked it. You want any changes?" Arnav spoke as if he was speaking to a client bereft of any feeling even close to love.

" I will not stay with you in one room, Mr.Raizada. After all I don't want to sleep with a stranger and my boss. Don't think that I have accepted you as my husband just because I came along with you to this house, Mr.Raizada. I came here because I love my family which doesn't include you in any way." Khushi managed to bring all the remaining strength in her to enunciate the dialogue in the most efficient manner, and she was partially successful as Arnav's eyebrows twitched in dissatisfaction.

" Are you forgetting that you are in no position to bargain, Mrs.Arnav Singh Raizada?" Arnav raised a question a he raised his left eyebrow in a stern manner.

" I am not bargaining with you, Mr.Raizada. I am requesting you. You claim to love me, can't you give me enough space and time to digest this new thing in my life? It was clearly unexpected for me and maybe even unwanted." Khushi's already weak voice sounded even more feeble as she pleaded him. Her fragile figure was all set to fall down on the mother earth, as her strength had been exhausted in telling the intimidating arrogant Raizada about her stance on the forced marriage, going against the wishes in his mind.

"How much time and space is enough for you, Khushi?" Arnav questioned without concern or affection in his tone. It was just a businessman demanding the time required for a employee or a client to complete their work.

" No amount of time or space would be enough if you don't change yourself, Mr.Raizada. We are two different worlds and by any sheer luck, we are compatible then we need to increase that or if not, we need to make ourselves compatible or atleast that's what you want, isn't it?" Khushi demanded in an afflicted tone, while it made Arnav realize that she was suffering due to him and like never before, it hurt him. It pulled the strings of the non-existent heart of his.

" What do you want, Khushi?" The softened tone of his didn't go unnoticed by Khushi who felt that maybe he was serious about the relationship and he adhered the sacred institution of marriage.

" You snatched everything I wanted, Mr. Raizada. What's the point asking it from me now?" The icy cold tone of hers made shivers run across his spine. He regretted his actions and words, deep inside but his ego being the worst wall ever, had stopped him from entering the ocean of redemption but the extent of her anguish had somewhat entered his realization. He needed to take it slow, and he realized it.

" I cannot return what I snatched, Khushi. But I promise I will fill it empty space with my love and much better things than that." The sincerity in his tone, made the eyes looking elsewhere rise up to look into the orbs which had a feeling which both of them had not realized. It was not as profound as love, it was not as heinous as obsession, then what was it?
