So this is my Holi Special! Hope you like. My website http://ipkkndarhi.webs.com has my other works.
PS: This is mostly a flashback(in blue) but still hope you enjoy!
Arnav walked over to she was lying on the bed murmuring something about Shyam, Arnav, and Anjali. Kushi had gotten sick after eating ice cream in the cold, after returning from a Holi Party.
*****
"Arnavji, I want ice cream."
"NO! Now be quiet and stop whining!"
"I want ice cream right now."
"Chottey, buy her some."
"But Di…"
"Chottey!" she looked angry
"Fine!" he got out of the car and bought ice cream for his drunk wife.
They were returning from a Holi party and she had gotten her hands on some bhang!
When they got home it was late and Kushi fell asleep and couldn't walk.
"Chottey, carry the poor girl up to your room."
"Di…"
"Chottey, I have noticed you seem to be ignoring me a lot for the past few days! Why?"
"I'm not ignoring you, I'm just saying."
"She's your wife, what's wrong with carrying her to your room and the poor girl must be tired."
"Fine Di!"
"I'm going to wash my face up and then I'm going to sleep."
Kushi was half awake, "Leave me! I said Leave me. I hate you! Let me go!" she went on blabbering of things Arnav didn't know about.
When he got to their room, he put her down on the bed and grabbed her stuff to put outside. After laying her pillow and blanket down with her comforter, he picked her up again and laid her down.
In his mind, he thought, 'She's so beautiful and innocent looking.' In a few seconds though he had snapped out, 'what are you saying Arnav? You hate her! She betrayed you and Di!' but he had to admit she looked beautiful. (She had wiped all the color off her face before leaving the party!)
Arnav walked back inside sat down on his bed. He still had feelings for her. He stopped thinking about her and drifted off to sleep.
The Next Morning
Arnav abruptly woke up as sunlight hit his eyes. He saw Kushi trembling and he walked out to her and felt her forehead. It was a hot stove!
She had a fever of at least 103F.
First he thought she deserved it, but he felt bad for her so he took her to his bed. After he picked her up she began blabbering again, "I… Arnavji. Stay away from me… Shyamji… Anjaliji… I love…" He couldn't make out anything else. He laid her down and called the doctor
*****
The doctor checked her and said, "She is very delicate, she needs to be taken good care of, or it can be proven fatal. I can't prescribe any medications because she will not respond to anything because her fever is too high, 105F."
Hearing this, a part of him wanted to do everything possible for her to get better but another part wanted to leave the way she was and not care a bit about her. He walked back over to her after dropping the doctor outside.
"I love… I love… Arnavji. Shyamji… Anjaliji is so nice…Stay away from us… Please…"
Arnav had his head buried in his hands, but upon hearing this he immediately looked up in shock. "Kushi, What are you saying?"
"Arnavji…tell Shyamji… stay away… I love… you!"
Guilt ran through him like energy after a sugar high. She was innocent, he was the guilty on and he knew that Kushi would never be able to forgive him!
Ok so not really a Holi speacial but I tried! I've never witnessed an actual holi and I've have been to India like 12 times in my life. I wrote according to what I see on TV and in movies.
