Arshi FF: The Broken Hearts#2 NEW LINK ADDED pg 153 - Page 20

" you had something important to say." Manorma folded her arms and looked at him expectantly.
Arnav gave her a slow nod.
" yeah...this is Khushi's daughter Sia." Manorma glanced at the little child who was playing with Arnav's tie.
" So?"
Arnav thought that she must be aware of Sia, if not then probably she'd be happy to know about her..but she wasn't glad. She was indifferent.
" on New year's eve, Khushi and her husband met with a serious accident...thankfully Sia made a miraculous escape, but.." He thought knowing this might flicker something in her eyes.
" but what?" She didn't have all day, why wasn't he hurrying up? And why was his face looking familiar, had she seen him before?
Arnav swallowed hard before breaking the news. " but unfortunately shyam died on the spot and Khushi got severely injured..she's still unconscious..." he wanted to add that she was out of danger but Manorma tilted her head slightly and interrupted him again.

" I don't know why you're wasting my time by telling me all this because for us, Khushi died the day she decided to marry that shyam."
Arnav couldn't believe her, yes she had always been an insensitive woman but how could she be so inhuman? After knowing about Khushi she was least concerned and bothered!
" I understand, you might be upset with Khushi, but now isn't the time to dig the past..shyam's body needs to be cremated ..Khushi is in the hospital..and this little one also needs you."
Manorma shrugged her shoulders. " I think you're not getting what I'm trying to say,
let me put it clearly. Khushi is dead for us. We have nothing to do with her and her family."
" but you're also her family." Arnav argued.
" we Were."
Arnav stared at her. This woman was impossible. Why was he even expecting her to be considerate toward Khushi when in the past she gave Khushi several reasons to cry.
It was pointless talking to her. " I'd like to meet Khushi's uncle." He had come across as a kind man.
Arnav moved toward Khushi's adjoining room but Manorma blocked him.
" he's resting and he agrees with me."
" I don't think so. On the contrary I'm sure he'd help out Khushi in this crisis."
Manorma smirked at Arnav.
" crisis? This girl has always been in crisis? How long and how far does she think we'll help her."
Manorma turned her face and continued to spit venom against Khushi. " I'm glad she's out of this house and our lives. In fact I'll celebrate the day she dies and leaves this world as well." She peered up at Arnav and sniggered. " I think that day is not far away...do let me know when she actually breathes her last."
" Shut your mouth!" Arnav shouted back.
" had you not been a woman, I swear I'd have broken your face." Clenching his jaws, Arnav towered over her and raised his voice. " as long as I'm alive, nothing's gonna happen to Khushi. I'm with her." Coming here and expecting something from her uncle and aunt was a big mistake. Khushi would be better off without them. He turned on his heel to leave when Manorma said something that burnt his ears.
" you mean to say you're back in her life?" Manorma moved around to stand in front of him.
" aren't you the same friend who dumped her years back?"
