OS: Forever was in Your Eyes (Finished)

Arnav stood under the dark gray sky, not being able to believe that Khushi could have possibly been in the ambulance that had just speeded through the roads before he could reach it. He stood there broken, unable to speak, unable to comprehend what had just transpired in a matter of a few minutes. He had gone to Khushi's house expecting NK and Khushi to still be present there. He was in a full mood to tell off both of them for this irrational behavior. Especially Khushi, why did she have to agree to go with NK? And on top of that she had not taken her cell either so he was unable to reach her. But at this moment all his anger was fading away and turning into dread. All he was thinking was "Khushi, Khushi what if something..no no it couldn't"..he was so distraught that he could never even think to finish that sentence, ever! He remembered the times he had told her off. Especially when he had said that he could care less whether or not she was there in his life. His life didn't revolve around her. But in this moment, he really had proved himself wrong. His world did revolve around her. It revolved around her smile, her silliness, her jokes, her anger'she completed his life. And now that Arnav was imagining her hurt and laying on a stretcher in an ambulance, it felt like someone had grabbed his heart in their fist and was squeezing it so hard. He was finding it difficult to breathe and although he should have ran after the ambulance or even taken his car to the hospital, he couldn't even manage to budge from the spot where he stood. He recalled Anjali Di's words. "Jab who dur jayegi toh tumhari saansein rukh jayegi"'He talked to himself.."You were right Di, agar Khushi meri zindagi mein nahi toh meri saansein rukh hi jayengi.." As he uttered these words straight from his heart he squeezed the pieces of her broken bangles in his hands. He looked down at the blood dripping from his hands and recalled the time he had forcefully broken her bangles and caused blood to drip from her wrist. He realized that the pain he had caused her throughout their journey together was immense. Maybe this was karma and he was getting what he rightfully deserved. Just when he had started to realize that deeper feelings existed between himself and Khushi, that he really needed her in his life, that he couldn't live a moment without her, she was being pulled away from him.

Moments earlier'..

NK and Khushi were leaving Khushi's house.

Khushi: Naneyji, please drive the car slowly this time, on our way here you were too fast. NK's fast driving was reminding Khushi of moments spent with Arnav in the car where he would drive fast on purpose just to irk her. She needed to get him out of her head, why did her thoughts always wander off to him?

NK: Khushji don't worry, I've got it taken care of, kuch nahi hoga.

NK hadn't paid heed to Khushi's advice. He continued to drive fast. And the worse happened. Nk bumped the car into this young girl that was crossing the street. The girl fell to the floor and Khushi and Nk quickly got out of the car to help her. As Khushi was getting out of the car one of her sandals got stuck to the car and came off as she was getting down. She also banged her hand on the door of the car as it opened causing some of her bangles to fall to the floor in broken pieces. In her hurry to see if the girl was fine, Khushi didn't bother to look for her other sandal and it was left to lay on the floor. Nk and Khushi quickly went over to the girl.

Khushi: Yeh kya kiya Nanheji. Humne bola than a deerey chalain.

NK: sorry Khushiji I didn't see her in the dark.

They went over to the girl who was thankfully conscious. She had gotten injuries on her foot and head from falling to the ground after being hit.

Khushi: We need to take her to the hospital.

NK: I'll call an ambulance first.

The ambulance came and NK decided that it was best that he go with the girl to take care of everything with the police and what not.

NK: Khushiji I think you should go back home, everyone is waiting for you for the pooja and you didn't even bring your phone. They'll be worried so you take a rickshaw back to RM and I'll take care of everything at the hospital.

Khushiji: Are you sure NK?

Nk: Yea go'

Back to present.

Khushi was walking around looking for her sandal. She was hopping around on one foot wondering where she had dropped it.

Khushi: Aray kahan gira diya humne?

She was staring at the ground for most of the time that she didn't see Arnav standing in the middle of the road.

It was only when she heard someone in the distance whisper her name that she looked up.

I'll always remember

It was late afternoon

It lasted forever

And ended so soon

You were all by yourself

Staring up at a dark gray sky

I was changed.

And the sight really shocked her there was Arnav staring up at the dark sky all lost. His hair was a mess and she saw that his eyes were moist. Had he been crying? As he stared up at the sky, he whispered to the forces above, "I know you are listening, I know you can fix this, Di believes in you so much, please please send my Khushi back to me, please let her be safe, he said in between sobs and Khushi saw a tear drop drip down the side of his cheek.

Khushi was overwhelmed with emotion. She didn't know if she should be happy that he cared so much or sad that she was the reason tears had come to his eyes.

She started to walk towards him and Arnav could sense her in the wind as he heard her footsteps. He looked up and more tears welled up at seeing her in front of him.

And it was as if his feet and been given back the powers to move again, he ran as fast as he could to her and pulled her into a tight hug.

Arnav: Khushi you are alright?! Nothing happened to you.

Khushi was taken aback by the hug and didn't know how to react. Before she could respond. Arnav took her face in his palms and started to kiss it all around from her forehead to her cheeks.

Khushi was just left staring at the tears that were falling down his cheeks.

In places no one will find

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

It was there that I realized

That forever was in your eyes

The moment I saw you cry

Khushi: Why are you crying?

Arnav: Shut up!! Just shut up!! Don't you dare..don't you dare ever leave me like this again'pata hai maine kya kya nahi soch liya'I almost died thinking about what could have happened to you.

Khushi: Par aapko toh'

Arnav: Don't even say it today Khushi, don't even ruin the moment, it's taken me long enough to realize Khushi, and before anything gets ruined, please let me just tell you..Mujhe bohut farak padtha hai tumharey honey na honey se samjhi'I need you in my life, I need you in my life forever!! So what do you say, can you spend your entire life with your Laad Governor?

Khushi couldn't believe that was the same Laad Governor Arnav. He had changed so much, where was the cold Arnav that always hurt her feelings and acted so indifferent towards her. Today he seemed like the person that cared the most about her in the whole wide world.

It was late in Septemeber

And I've seen you before (and you were)

You were always the cold one

But I was never that sure

You were all by yourself

Staring up at a dark gray sky

I was changed

In placed no one will find

All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)

It was there that I realized

that forever was in your eyes

Khushi got teary herself seeing Arnav so passionate and emotional about her.

Khushi: On one condition'

Arnav: Kya Khushi tum bhi shartein rakhne lag gayi, I guess you've learned from me.

Khushi: You will never cry like this again, ever. Khushi moved her fingers to wipe away the tears on his face. She wiped away his tears and kissed him on the cheeks.

Arnav: But if I get something like this in return, I would I be able to resist he winked referring to her kisses.

Khushi: aap bhi na..

Arnav: Kya bilkul Laad Governor hoon?

Khushi: Nahi. Your not my Laad Governor anymore..your just..your just mine! My Arnav.

Khushi was bending down to hold his hand when she saw the blood on it.

Khushi: Aray what's this?

Arnav: Oh no, it's nothing Arnav said closing his fist not wanting her to worry.

Khushi: No let me see. She held his hand in hers. Why did you do this? Hai devi mayya kitna khoon nikal raha hai!! She quickly ripped away a piece of her dupatta and tied it around his wrist. Itna khoon itna dard, kyun diya apne apko? Arnav winced as Khushi tied the dupatta.

Khushi: does it hurt?

Arnav: No not anymore everything is perfect..but there is something I didn't tell you.

Khushi: What's that? She asked worried.

Arnav pointed to her face and touched it taking off his blood that had gotten from his palm to her face after his frantic kissing session when he had seen her.

Arnav: Sorry, I'll clean it up. He took out his handkerchief and started to wipe away the blood from her cheek.

Khushi held is hand. Leave it, now you have even marked me as yours with your blood, what more do I need.

As Arnav moved the handkerchief from Khushi's face some of the blood on his palm touched Khushi's parted maan and left it's mark there, unknown to them both. Afterall they were destined to be together.

Arnav: So you didn't answer me, you promise to be with me forever Khushi?

Khushi: Of course, how can I not when my forever is in your eyes'she replied staring into his eyes, the tears of which had now been replaced by the spark of love.😳

Please like/comment!! It got longer then i expected..and i really don't expect this to happen, i had this song from Walk to Remember playing in my head and realized it suited ArHi so much, i wanted to write an OS and after today's epi i came up with one that kind of went with the song so i wrote it. I didn't want to write a hospital track, sorry if anyone expected that! Don't think this is likely to happen though!!😕

P.S: Im really supposed to be reading for my philosophy class😆 but i couldn't help finish writing this please comment and like, i makes me really happy that i didn't just waste my time!! 😳
