But the least he knew that his wife didn't sleep but has listened to his confession with tears brimming in her eyes .
Yes she accepts the fact that he didn't force her anytime . But didn't he prison her in a wood house ??? Well he didn't do that ...
While Khushi was thinking all this Arnav left the room with his car keys for a long drive.
Khushi got up from her sleeping position and recalled all the moments they spent together . Through this she concluded one thing . Arnav had some reason to imprison her ... Well why was she using the word imprison when he didn't even imprison her . It was her decision to be with him . He just didn't let go her from there because he was deeply in love with her .
Anjali then entered the room hurriedly . Khushi could really see that her di was worried .
Anjali : Khushiji are you ok ??
Khushi nodded her head . Anjali was relieved she wanted to talk to her but skipped that thought as its good for Khushi to sleep now . She hugged Khushi and exited .
But here Khushi wants to open her mouth after 2 years in front of this world . She does rarely speak . But it's only with Arnav . She stopped speaking when she heard about her grandfathers death . But today she has to clarify everything with him . Why he had to do all this ? If he didn't keep her locked in that house with him she would ...
Just then Arnav entered the room . He was surprised to see Khushi thinking something with tears in her eyes .
Arnav : Khushi you didn't sleep ???
He made his way towards her and she got up .
He placed his hand on her cheeks . He could clearly see dried tears on her cheeks . He was worried about her . She shoved off his hands .
Khushi : Haan Mr.Raizada . I didn't sleep .
Arnav : Khushi tum teekh ho ? (Khushi are you fine)
Khushi : Hum teekh kaise ho sakte hai Mr.Raizada ? Jab tak hum yeh nahi jann lete ki aapne Hume kyun Uss 5 saalon mein bahar duniya se Milne tak nahi diya hum teekh kaise ho sakte hai ?
(How can I be fine Mr.Raizada ? Until I won't learn the fact why did you prohibit me from meeting the world outside for five years , how can I be fine ? )
Arnav : Khushi , why are you digging up those things ??
Khushi : Because I want to know everything related to me in my life .
Arnav initially didn't want to open his mouth but he felt she was right . She needs to know .
Arnav : Khushi , remember Samrat ???
Khushi just nodded her head in a positive manner ..
Arnav : Remember he one day told that he would marry you even though you deny ??? You were so innocent that you thought all that was just friendship . But he took the advantage of situation . He told your grandfather that you love each other so much . Samrat knew very well that I love you but he didn't want you to be mine at any cost .
One day I got to know all that and I asked you the same day if you are willing to come along with me to a place where no one would be there with you and its only me with you . I asked you a number of times but you said you will leave anyone for me .
He saw that Khushi was becoming pale and so he stopped ...
Arnav : Khushi I think we must sleep now .
Khushi : Hum theekh hai Arnav ji . Pls ab toh Hume bata di jiye .
Arnav took a deep breath .
Arnav : Khushi you were so innocent that you didn't know that people misused your innocense may be I am also one amongst them . Khushi I wanted to protect you from that Samrat or let me say that I didn't want anyone to touch you . And the rest you know .
Khushi turned towards the bed and laid down on the bed . Arnav too joined her on the bed .
They knew very well that they are not gonna sleep the whole night .
They both didn't even realise that there was someone who heard the conversation . Of course it was Anjali . She saw Arnav heading towards the room . So she decided to speak to both of them at a time . But to her surprise when she was about to enter their room she saw Khushi speaking . So she felt that it would be better if she doesn't interrupt them . So she stood their and if Khushi needed her she would quickly run to rescue her , she mentally prepared herself to do all this .
She also realised that her brother wasn't faking all this . He really changed . She prayed silently to Devi Mayya to sort things out and went to her room .
*************
Arnav : Khushi I am not joking . You have to be with me . ONLY ME and you must never ask me about anyone as there would no one for you other than me . Not even you grandfather .
Khushi : I told you na Arnav ji . I don't want anyone in this world if you are with me . I just want YOU no one else even dada .
Arnav : You are serious ???
She nodded her head in approval .
~~~~~~~~
Arnav took Khushi to his wood house in the night . He stopped his car in front of the house and asked Khushi
Arnav : Khushi you must stay here . May be alone too . But that doesn't mean I am gonna leave you here , I will be there but sometimes in a day you must be alone .
Khushi : Arnav ji ... Why are you asking me this again and again ??? I told you my answer long back .
Arnav took her luggage and placed inside the house . Here Khushi was overwhelmed seeing such a beautiful wood house .
*********Arshi Room
Khushi : Arnav ji .
Arnav turned towards Khushi .
Khushi : Arnav ji ... Why did you change all of a sudden ??? And again you started to be nice ... What happened to you in those three years ??
Arnav : Khushi , I saw few girls who were unfaithful with their boyfriends or husbands . I was insecure though I know you were out of reach for everyone I was scared . I didn't want anyone to touch you . I was obsessed Khushi . May be from our first meeting . But I was possessive , My dada made a deal with Samrat's company and I was made to work with samrat . He used to tell me how he wanted to see you , touch you and mark you . I felt like killing him there itself . I used to release my frustration in those THREE MIDDLE YEARS on you . I am so sorry Khushi !!!
[NOTE : THIS MEANS THAT HE WAS NICE WITH HER FOR THE FIRST AND LAST YEAR . THE OTHER THREE YEARS HE WAS HARSH ]
Khushi : I am sorry Arnav ji .
Arnav : You don't have to . It's me who have to seek forgiveness . If di didn't change me may be I would never realise my mistake .
Both of them had tears in their eyes . Khushi moved to his side and hugged him tightly . Arnav's eyes grew wide . It's the first time ever she hugged him . He to hugged her and let go all his grief .
Khushi misunderstood him for all these years where he was actually protecting her from that Samrat .
