Drabble ~ SECOND CHANCE : PART-12 - Page 6

@ Ocean-Honey Restaurant, around 2 p.m;

Khushi don't know is it right or not to give Arnav second chance. She loved him. She did everything for his happiness; put him always first but he was never been fair to her. She was always a gold digger in his eyes.

Her trance was broken by a lady of Mid 20, Madhu Malik, the owner of the restaurant. She and Madhu used to work as cook in same hotel and there they met; soon they became best friends. Before two years ago Madhu started this restaurant and in the six months it became popular.

Madhu " Oyee!!! Where you lost when I saying something to you, Khush ? "

Khushi " Sorry. Hmmm, tell me what are you saying Maddy "

Madhu " Leave that. Tell me what is bothering you. You know na you can tell me anything "

Khushi " He is back "

Madhu " Who ? "

Khushi hesitantly " My husband "

Madhu knew about Khushi's married life except her husband name " Oh! What he want now ? "

Khushi " He want me to give our marriage to second chance "

Madhu " And what you want, Khush ? "

Khushi " I don't know Maddy, what I want " sighed " I know deep down I still love him and want to be with him. But he once broke my heart. What if he once again broke my heart this time? I don't have strength left to face the same consequences again "

Madhu " If you don't give him second chance then how do you come to know if he regret what he did you in past ? Everybody should have a second chance. if not for him just for your happiness give him second chance. I don't want you to regret for not giving your happiness a chance due to you fear "

Khushi " You are right Maddy I should give my happiness a second chance and my happiness lies in him. He captures my heart and my soul. It's so hard to let him go. So I am I'm ready to forget everything and start a fresh. I'm ready for the consequences just to be with him "

Madhu " I happy for you, Khush " smiled " Don't worry if he again try to hurt you then I will kick his main point so hard that he will think twice before hurting you again "

Khushi " I know " cheekily

Madhu " I heard your new Boss, ASR is very handsome and very strict; doesn't spare anyone for their mistakes. So how is your experience with your new Boss " hesitantly

Khushi " Oh! This's not new to me. I use to his arrogance behavior. I know him very well personally and professionally " looking at Madhu's questioning gaze " Because Arnav Singh Raizada is my husband. I'm used to his anger. Anger always on his nose tip "

Madhu shocked to hear Arnav Khushi's husband but masked her emotion with a smile on her face.

@ Beachside, 9 p.m;

She was enjoying the view of the vast sea in front of her; the cool breeze playing with her long silky hair. She heard few footsteps behind her and following by a husky voice.

" KHUSHI "

Khushi without turning knew whom this voice belong to " I loved you Arnav. I gave you everything but all I got was hurt in return. You hurt me mentally and emotionally; insult my dignity. You gave me those scars which are not easily forgotten. I don't know Arnav, if I have the courage in me to put my heart out on my sleeve again. I just, I have been hurt too much already " in between tears

Arnav " Khushi, I never knew what is LOVE until you came into my life. Before you my life was like a black and white movie and then you came and filled it with colour. Since the day I met you all i thought was of you. I couldn't get you out of my mind. I did not know what I felt for you was LOVE. Because I was not used to feel of love. It was an emotion I was always deprived of. So I decided that love didn't exist. But slowly you able to break all the shell around my heart and create a space for you. I was considering Iwas in love with you. In fact on the day of Akash's marriage I was going to confess my love for you. When I saw you going to the terrace I was coming to say I love you. That is when I saw you hugging SHYAM " controlling his rage " Khushi previously in my life whenever anything good was coming my way, something bad would happen. I had realized happiness was not for me. And with all that, I didn't think straight. So I decided of the contract marriage. Every time I said I hated you, I killed myself, it hurt me so much. I just made a mistake after another. And then you left me. And it was like, I was broken Khushi. My heart left me, my soul left me. Finally after years of wait, I met you. Khushi it was I was alive again. And now I can't let go of you again until I beg and plead for you to give me a chance. Khushi I broke you, I will mend you. I just need another chance Khushi. I promise I will take care of you and be with you forever. Will you give me a chance to mend your broken heart ? "

Khushi nodded her head " Yes "

Arnav hugged her tightly. He was not believing Khushi really ready to forget everything and coming back to him. Khushi hugged him tightly feeling his protective embrace which she had missed all of these years.
