Arnav Singh Raizada is again a defeatd man... With each moment of his life now, he tasted the sweetless defeat... Now, as he stared at the picture of Kushi, even his sleep betrayed him.
"how could he sleep... Let alone sleep, he couldnt even breath, aftr what he put her through... A tear rolld down his cheeks...
What has he done to her? He told her dat he hated her... Stil she stuck around like a door mat... Many times he yelld at her just for being in the same room as his... Why didnt he care for once...
Why didnt he realize for once, that those crystal like tears in her 'hazel orb eyes' were for him... Why didnt he for once knw that her twinkling smile was only for him... How many times hav the sound of her ornaments beggd for his attention... Did he care?
Arnav knew he deservd each of the stinging pearls of pain that stuck him now...
How many times hav di told him to listen to his heart n respect her... Even Naani, And Nk knew her more than him... How many times Kushi herself told him...did he listen??
He saw her petite legs dragging through the stairs... Stil he hadnt moved an eye lash... How could he bo so heartless?
Her 'rain bow coloured' shiney clothes...did he for once envy them for sticking close to her milky skin...?
All that she askd for was 'recognition'... Of love.. Of care... Of security.. Of being a member of his home.. A part of his life...
Stil he...! Ignord her... Shut her out of his life.. Never cared she existed... How cud he... How far she can endure.. Aftr all, she was just a 5yr old petite goat... Does, he even knw, how it feels like to be a '5yr old goat'???
"Arnavji...'
a whimper frm Kushi got Arnav back frm his Flash back abt Laxmiji..'😉
ever since, redemption n guilt trip has startd Kushi has developd the habit of waking up at odd hours in the night, throw a tantrum n cry!
Arnav turnd towards Kushi n said.
'jaan... Ssshh... So jao... Mein hoon naa 'cry karne ke liye'...'
and he feeded her with 'jalebi' n tuckd kushi into d cradle...err... Blanket!
Kushi was starting yet another sob fest, but, Arnav said to himself.
'meri maa... So jaa! IF waalon ko math jagaa...sab sothe hue shernis hai... Mere life ke peeche padi hai."
tumhe kya patha... The goatwa assosiation spokespersons hav petitiond d cvs abt 'redeeming my behaviour with Laxmi'... N thats y i'm bound to hav more flash backs of Laxmiji'
bt, he sang a lullaby n put Kushi to sleep..
Yet... Laxmi's unsaid words, when she stagd a walk out frm RM, echoed in her words.
