It had been a long day, it turned around everything, unexpectedly breaking down a few , bringing in fright, hope and love and promising a new path to be trodden.
Arnav for a few minutes had lived his greatest fear, almost losing the one he loved. She laid in his arms lifeless and pale, he was desperate, endless tears trailing down his face, washing away every trace of the ruthlessness that had been in him, he was on his knees begging her to not disappear and leave him battling alone. He remembered the numerous times he had saved her ,pulling her up and not letting her hit the ground, he hoped he was not too late this time, he cried wishing that she would just live. Seeing her arms laying limp by her side slowly pulled down the hope he had within, he was hanging by the last vestiges of his belief that this was going to pass and she soon would open her eyes and embrace him and fill him with life, love and be by his side.
He placed her hand upon his chest, hoping his heart would tell her how much he needed her, he needed her to know that she was the reason it raced endlessly and pushed him towards breaking down his arrogance and letting in love, he needed her. He cried helplessly, his mind numb and his heart aching and breaking more with every passing second that her eyes remained closed. He could not lose her like this, she had to stay. He sat broken and pained, holding her close, praying that she would live.
His silent pleas, his cries, his racing frightened heart awakened the girl he taught he had lost, the girl he loved. Relief flooded through him, filling in all the gaping holes of defeat within him. As her hands slowly moved and her eyes fluttered open, Arnav miraculously found his cries and prayers being answered, knowing she was alive, still by his side made him cry out in relief, holding her close and promising to not let her drift away from him. He pulled her up and kissed her forehead, whispering words that made no sense, words that somehow assured him that this was all real, she was still by his side.
Arnav stood by the bathroom door rubbing a towel through his hair, he silently recalled the moments that had followed when they returned home, the truth was broken, the one thing that had pushed all their lives into an endless hell and tangled them in deceit and lies. He knew that the damage done to his family and sister was immense and healing the deep wounds and walking towards making things better would take effort, time and a lot of courage.
He sighed deeply thinking of how much he had wronged Khushi, he had crushed her and destroyed all her hopes of ever having a happy life, he had let one man just walk in and destroy his family, his love and his trust. He walked towards the bed where she slept peacefully, her face angelic and clearly exhausted from the days events, his eyes trailed over her wounded arms which he had carefully bandaged, he stood still gazing at her sleeping form recalling how close he had come to losing her today. He smiled proudly at how bravely she had brought out the truth of Shyam in front of the whole family.
He slipped into bed and laid on his side gazing at her delicate features and closed eyes. She had placed her life on the edge and fought to bring him back, he remembered what NK told him and his heart filled with love for the girl who had selflessly embraced danger to ensure that he would soon be safe, he found the lingering sadness for having despised and hurt her love returning and a lone tear made its way out reflecting the regret he felt for having pushed her away and brutally crushed her.
His family was devastated, Anjali was in a state of oblivion and Shyam had disappeared leaving utter chaos behind. He wondered where things were headed from here, the path ahead seemed blur with very less hope of healing, he sadly closed his eyes and tried to not think about the damage done, he opened his eyes to draw hope from the one person who had silently promised to stay by his side through it all. He slowly drew her towards himself and hugged her close, trying to erase the pain he had caused and convey how much she meant to him. He softly kissed her forehead and believed that they would get through this, there was a lot to face ahead and this time they had each other, she was by his side and had been all along. Her silent promises of being close and fighting together, her warmth that made him believe the dark clouds would clear away and the sun would soon shine allowed him to slowly close his eyes and fall asleep, hugging her close, knowing she would always be by his side, forever.
