So after recently being addicted to FF's, SS's and OS's, I've decided to give one ago too. Please bare with me as it is my first time so please be nice 😆
Also I would like to thank Ccuteaangel for giving me the motivation of posting this up.
I've written this from Khushi's perspective, if you guys like it I will be posting Arnav perspective up too.
Comments/criticism are welcome so please tell me what you think 😊
She stood there unmoving, unblinking, rooted to the spot. Sounds of joy errupted around her, yet Khushi remained completely oblivious to her surroundings, her eyes searching for the eyes she had always been seeing in her dreams lately. Eyes which showed her so much contempt, yet so much love. Eyes of Arnav. Stood on the stairs he looked so breathtakingly handsome. His eyes finally found Khushi's and a small smirk formed on his face. Khushi simply stood and stared at him, wondering...hoping.
There had been no tears coming from Khushi this time, it was almost as though she had expected it she thought. He always did do reckless things when he was angry, how was this any different?
She remembered back to the Diwali night when Arnav had announced his engagement to Lavanya merely 10 minutes after their nearly kiss. She remembered how he taunted her about her aukat when he dropped her off home. But mostly, she remembered how she broke down that night. Breaking the dam of tears that were threatening to burst out whilst in the Raizada Mansion. She remembered how painful it was when he broke her heart, how she chided herself for letting herself believe she was in a dreamland. So why is it that Arnav announcing his engagement day with Lavanya is not provoking the same emotions as last time? Why does Arnav finalising his wedding with Lavanya not make her want to cry and hide herself from the Raizadas, the Gupta's, Arnav?
As soon as the thought came into her head, she found her answer. Because I've seen Arnav behind the mask of ASR. She saw the look of tenderness in his eyes when he gently placed her engagement ring in her palm. She saw the loving way he tried to easy the ring on her swollen finger, but most importantlyshe saw the look of pure horror on his face when she told him about her engagement. She'd seen his helplessness when he accused of her of not telling anyone. She saw his anger when he told her he had a right to know about her engagement. She'd seen the surprise when she asked him why he was so concerned about her getting married. She looked at Arnav directly in his eye and replied to his smirk with a sad smile. She'd finally realised the meanings of Arnavs aggressive behaviour towards her. She'd realised all the times he had protected her...the guesthouse, the dhabba, the hospital, the mandir. Each scene flicked through Khushi's mind and made her smile more when she realised after each time he did genuine acts of kindness for her, everytime he made the first move to get closer to her, or make her happy, Arnav would always counteract that and behave harshly.
She realised he loved her, but will always be unable to show this. She realised that his pride and ego will always get in the way of him ever being able to admit to himself or her his true feelings. She realised that the man who stood in front of her will never be hers. She took one final look at him and registered his frown and puzzled expression, him unaware of Lavanya tugging on his arm, eyes only on Khushi.
With the sudden rush of realisation, it was only then a tear fell from Khushi's eyes.
EDIT: I have updated Arnav's Realisation. Please read and comment 😃
