Part 10
Arnav had this horrible nagging feeling ever since he left home.He had that for nearly an hour.At the moment he was at a meeting with his important clients.He had just finished giving his presentation and his clients were going over some things.He so wanted to call Khushi just to make sure she was okay but he had to turn off his phone due to the importance of the meeting.They stood up and so did Arnav.The boss smiled "I liked your designs,especially the last one" Arnav smiled,realizing he was talking about his and Khushi's design "Anyways,I would love to help you expand your company and work with you" Arnav smiled and happily shook his hand.
**************************************
Arnav couldn't wait to get home but he didn't know why,he didn't feel so happy as he expected to.He felt like he was losing something precious.Shaking his head,he took out his phone and switched it on.He was shocked to see 26 missed calls by Khushi.He called her.The phone kept ringing but she never picked up.Frowning,he immediately went home.
**************************************
"Khushi" Arnav called out.No answer.He frowned "Khushi" he called out again.No answer.Arnav went to the kitchen where she would often would be but she wasn't there.He went to the living room and was confused to see the phone on the floor.He bent to pick it up but received the biggest shock in his life "Khushi" he barely whispered as he gathered her pale,cold,and weak body against his.She was covered by her own blood.It looked a bit dry.Somebody had shot her.Khushi could barely open her eyes as she gasped for air "Khushi" Arnav repeated as he cupped her face in his hands.A tear slipped by from his eyes "W-w-h-who d-d-d-id this t-to y-you"
"Dad" she gasped as another pang of pain shot through her.She gripped Arnav's coat in her small hands and lay her head on his chest.
"K-Khushi..don't worry..I am going to call the ambulance...nothing is going to happen to you" he said as another few tears slipped from his eyes.
He turned around to get the phone but Khushi didn't let him "I-I won't make i-it A-Arnav...I've b-been w-waiting for t-too long" she swallowed.
"N-no Khushi...nothing will happen to you" Arnav was crying.The love of his life was in his arms dying and he couldn't do anything to save her.
"A-Arnav...I l-love you" she spoke as a tear slipped from her eye "I a-always have and a-always will" Arnav sobbed as he tightened his hold on her.
"I..I am..so sorry Khushi" he sobbed "I should've n-never left you a-alone"
Khushi gave him a weak smile "I-It's not y-your fault...I g-guess o-our love wasn't meant t-to be for this l-lifetime" Arnav's eyes turned red from crying so hard and so much "C-can I ask f-for s-something?" Arnav nodded "C-Can I...h-have one l-last k-k-kiss?"
Arnav sobbed and nodded.He gently pressed his lips on her and kissed her.It was a simple kiss full of love and passion from both sides but some things just weren't meant to last.Arnav snapped open his eyes when he felt her stop responding.He leaned back and looked at her.Her eyes were closed,her hands hanging loose "K-Kh-Khushi" he whispered.He gently shook her but she didn't open her eyes.Suddenly she looked so lifeless.
Her hair which used to fly in the air and sometimes caress her face...looked lifeless
Her cheeks which always loved blushing and if not blushing,they would have a small glow of pink...looked lifeless
Her eyes which always used to express how she felt and what she thought,the pair of eyes he loved to get lost into...looked lifeless
Her lips which was always one of the most beautiful feature on her face,that loved to beg for attention from him...looked lifeless
Arnav picked up Khushi's limp body and put his ear on her heart.No heartbeat.He pressed his thumb on her pulse and felt his heart sinking when he couldn't feel her pulse.Arnav sobbed as realization hit him.She was gone.Gone forever.Never coming back.Her soul had not only left her body but also him.Arnav felt so lifeless without and wondered how he had managed before he had met her.He held her body in his arms,crying for his loss.Khushi had not only touched his heart but also soul and he just couldn't live without her.
It was 10 PM at night.Arnav had been crying for hours,Khushi's lifeless body in his arms.He shut his eyes and winced as pain hit his eyes.They had turned dark red.Khushi's blood stained his clothes but he couldn't care less.All he could think about was that she had left him.Forever.He looked at his Khushi and was immediately ready to begin crying again but he stopped himself.He couldn't live without Khushi and so he decided he wouldn't live at all.He picked Khushi up in his arms and stood up.
**************************************
Shashi frowned when he saw his guards fighting with some unknown man,trying to keep him out.He held something or someone in his arms.He raised his hand,a signal for the guards to leave.The unknown man turned around to face him.Shashi narrowed his eyes at him,not knowing who it was.His eyes travelled downwards and widened seeing his daughter.He gave a small smirk realizing who the man was "Arnav Singh Raizada,I suppose" he said.
"Why?" said Arnav "Why did you kill her? She was your daughter...and my life"
Shashi put on an amused face.His smirk widened "Well she did a bit of both of what her sisters did" Arnav looked at him confused "Anjali fell in love with a middle class man..Khushi did the same..Payal ran away..Khushi did the same..sadly she ended up like Payal..but instead of getting killed by my men,I did it myself"
Arnav tightened his hold around Khushi and glared at Shashi "Don't you think that I will tell anyone?"
Shashi frowned "I never thought of that"
"Then why don't you kill me?" Arnav offered.
Shashi smirked "I don't know what to call you..Smart for the idea you gave me or dumb for actually bringing your death" he grabbed the gun from the nearby counter and pointed it at him.Arnav kneeled on his knees and lay Khushi on the ground in front of him.He knew he was being a coward but he honestly could not care less.He closed his eyes and the gun shot.Shashi called his guards when Arnav fell to the ground "Let's try and give them a respectable funeral" Shashi shrugged.The guards nodded and took Arnav and Khushi away...
