Os: penalty
Part 2
People at shanti Van were quite tense. Everybody was worried and it was heart wrenching silence followed by silent sobs. Aakash was not home either. And mama ji was trying to contact him but no avail. Khushi was in temple and was scared to death, she was praying silently. What if? She could not complete her thought.
"I'll die instead"
The reason of distress was Arnav. He was missing since last 5 hours and his car was in office parking but he was not there. Gate keeper informed that he was there but left in a hurry, leaving his car behind. Aakash was searching for him.
Only one man was watching all this situation glee fully. He was happy to see the turn's life has taken for him. It seems that main hindrance in his plan was going to be removed very easily. All of them were occupied in one common fret. This provides him chance to creep near Khushi.
"Do not worry Khushi ji, soon our paths will meet, and never part again. It seems god is also helping us by paving the path for us" he tried to touch her shoulder.
"Shut up at once" Khushi whispered, jerking his hand off her shoulder.
"one more word and I'll slap your damn face. He is my husband and I love him. He was and will always be the one sole man in my life. No one will ever take his place. Not in this life and the life after this. Don't dare to touch me again." Stumping her foot she left towards her room, leaving Shaym dumbfounded. He was unaware of the fact that someone was watching and has heard every word of his conversation very keenly.
In her room Khushi was pacing up and down, praying that Arnav must be alright.
"Why you are so upset and worried for him? Why his absence is bothering you? Isn't it what you demand?
How will you survive when you plan to leave him forever?" She asked herself closing her eyes and his last words were echoing in her mind
"I'll die instead"
"You can close your eyes to reality but not to memories Khushi kumari gupta" she thought.
"You love him and you must learn to forgive him. He is begging for being pardoned. No one is perfect here. He wants to be forgiven for his weaknesses .it was clearly evident in his eyes." she tried to argue with herself.
"The easiest person to deceive is one one's self. Whom you are deceiving Khushi? If something went wrong,you won't be able to survive either.
She remembered reading somewhere that true love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.
"And I am the lucky one who have seen it "she remembered his words
"You are the air I breathe in and without you I'll die. I was always scared to lose you. Please do not leave me. I won't be able to survive without you"
Then she heard a scream from downstairs "chotey"
Aakash entered holding the hand of his brother whose forehead was bandaged and was wearing an arm support.
"What happened chotey?''
"Nothing grand ma. He is fine now "Aakash replied
"Is he fine? From which angle he seemed fine to you?" snapped Anjali.
"Relax Di. I am indeed fine." Arnav replied
"But what happened Arnav bitwa? Come on, tells us" inquired mami ji
"I was hit by a speeding car near my office. I was so much absorbed in my thoughts I did not notice that a car was coming from wrong end. But luckily I was not in its way totally. I just had a sprained ankle." He said sitting on sofa.
"Bring some hot milk for Arnav bitwa" nani said to payal who nodded.
Arnav scanned the whole room and found the only person he wanted to see standing on stairs silently. It was evident from her eyes that she was crying but now her eyes were pleading him to not do this again to her.
He gestured her to come near him through his eyes and she obeyed and sat beside him, putting her head on his shoulder and whispered
"Never try to leave me again"
"Ok but you have to promise the same" he smirked, pressing her hand gently
She nodded her head, smiling weakly and he kissed her forehead where sindoor was glitters.
Family rejoiced on their reunion except one man who was fuming and agitated. But he was oblivious of his surroundings and observing eyes whose focus was on his constipated face expressions.
When everyone retired to their respective rooms later that night. Khushi asked her husband that if he needs anything
"Nothing. Just stay with me here. I am sorry I made you sleep outside. I was brutal with you, totally un humane. But I really regret it. I really do when I realize it. I don't know why I do this to you. But I am like this." He said
"Please relax and do not panic. I am not going to leave you. I have realized that what you are for me. I always wanted you to be mine and DM has granted my all wishes. And now I wish no more." She said.
"But Khushi what I am for you?'' he asked teasing her
"You are the air I breathe in and without you I'll die. I am scared to lose you and I'll die without you" she repeats his lines blushing fully.
"Now no more talking. You must sleep now" she said
He snuggled close to her, breathing in her warmness. He slept peacefully after un numerable days; he tried to count but lost it.
At the terrace, a shadow of someone walking stealthily formed on the ground. It was moonless night. So the shadow was quite vague. And its owner was barely visible.
A number was dialed on a mobile phone by owner and listened silently. After third ring phone was received from other side.
"Sorry to disturb you at this late hour but it was extremely urgent. Did u gather all the information required. I hope you understand the urgency of this matter."
Then there was a brief pause.
"I want this case to be filed as soon as possible. The culprit should be arrested and can't flee"
Then again a brief silence
"No I am perfectly alright. I am strong enough to manage it. Thank you Mr. Roy for your help and please keep it secret"
After disconnecting the call, the shadow limped towards the door which leads towards the stairs down.
A VM to end this part. This must be Arnav thoughts in this sleep. Suggested by my buddy(shariqa_here)
