OS - Remember When...

Remember When...

Note: This is dedicated to every single family who lost a closed one due to cancer or other deadly disease.

The characters Arnav and Khushi belong to 4Lions show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon. However this story and idea is mine. Even if it somehow is similar to yours, please be assured I have not plagiarised it. Please do not copy my work.

(LOL I know its not even good enough to be copied)

Standing by the window, Arnav stood stoically reminiscing his life.

The happy moments he spent with Khushi...

The Nok-Jhoks...

The Rabba Veys...

The Talks...

His life was perfect until that one day...

I am sorry Mr. and Mrs. Raizada, But Mrs. Raizada has breast cancer.

The day his life came crashing down. The day he found out that God hates him. The day when he found out that he will lose his Khushi.

A tear forced its way down his eyes, finally breaking the mask.

Khushi, you can't leave me. I won't let you leave me. Arnav grasped her shoulders. Jis din tum mujhe chodogi, us din main bhi iss duniya ko...

"Papa, Papa...Mamma is calling you. She ... She ..."

Aarav's voice cracked. He loved his mother more than anyone else and she was leaving him. Forever. Tears flowed freely from Aarav's eyes. There was no facade stopping the tears.

Snapping his head towards Aarav, Arnav's mind froze. Khushi...Nooo

Rushing past Aarav, Arnav ran towards his room. Towards his Khushi. She couldn't leave him. She promised me that she will be with me forever. God can't steal her from me. NO. She. Can't. Leave. Him.

Sitting on the bed beside Khushi, Arnav's one hand grasped her hers, while his other hand caressed her cheeks.

"Khushi, Tum theek ho?" His eyes roamed around her body, checking for her non-existent injuries, "Tum..Tumhe kuch..."

Tears now flowed freely from his eyes. There was no stopping the pain in his heart.

Khushi's hand trembled as she tried to rest her hand on his cheek, trying to assure him.

"Shhh Arnavji...I..I am fin..."

"Don't you dare. Don't you dare say you are fine. Ab toh mujhe sambhalna band karo. Please apna dard mat chupao."

Before Khushi could reply back, she started coughing wildly. Arnav could see the light diminishing from her eyes.

"Khushi, No..Khushi, Remember when we first met. I treated you so harshly. Tum mujhe saza nahi dogi. Mere saath rehkar mujhe saaza do. Mujhse door hokar nahi."

Clutching her tightly against his chest, Arnav continued,

"Khushi remember when you wore the red saare. You looked so beautiful. I was so angry at you because you made me feel...made me feel emotions. Emotions which were dead. You brought me to life."

Tears leaked out of Khushi's eyes with vigor. Each word of Arnav's was causing her heart to break with pain.

Cupping her face in his hands, he stared deeply into her eyes, "Khushi, Remember when you wore that red saare in Diwali. You stole my heart that night. I finally lost control of my feelings. You made me lose control."

"Ar..Arnavvv," Khushi's voice cracked with pain. For the first time, she was angry with her Devi Maiyaa. Why does Arnavji always face pain in life? Why Devi Maiyaa?

"Shhh...Please apni keemti saans bachake rakho," Sniffling, Arnav continued, "Khushi, remember when we got engaged with a bandage," A tearful laugh escaped Arnav, "Isn't that funny, Khushi. Bhagwaan ne humari jodi tab banadi thi jab hum ko pata bhi nahi tha ke hum ek doosre se pyaar karte hai. And now, When I know and feel the love for you, he is taking you away from me. I hate him. I. Hate. Him."

Arnav's eyes gleamed with bitter hatred. If he could, he would destroy god himself, for trying to take his Khushi.

"Khushi, remember when we danced on Teri Meri. I was happy to lose if I could see your face light up. Khushi, you are my sunshine and I would do anything to keep that shine on your face. Please don't leave me..."

A cry broke free from Arnav's mouth. His body lost all the courage and strength he was trying to show. He rested his head on Khushi's stomach. His tears lost themselves in Khushi's kameez.

With a trembling hand, Khushi caressed his head.

"Arnavji, remember when I told yu I will always be there for you. Hum aapki amma ke saath taara banke aapke saath rahege. Hamesha."

Lifting his head from her stomach, "But, I want you here with me. By my side."

Shaking her head at her Laad Governor, Khushi released a soft smile, "I Love You Arnavji. Hamesha."
