Part 7
"So where exactly are we going to find proof?" Khushi asked raising an eyebrow.
Arnav shrugged "Don't you have a picture of your engagement or anything?"
"No"
"Okay then" Arnav said "There has to be another way" He thought for a minute and then said "How about for the time being we just keep a good eye on him"
Khushi nodded "That's a good idea.Maybe he's trying to trap some other innocent girl"
Arnav nodded.Silence prevailed in the car.Arnav looked at her "Um Khushi" he hesitated.He didn't know why but he felt it was necessary to ask "Did you ever have any sort of feelings for Milan?"
Khushi looked at him slightly confused but she answered his question nonetheless "No.I never did"
Arnav let go of the breath he realized he was holding and nodded.There was this weird feeling inside him that made him just want to keep on talking to her so he did "So Khushi...how come your sister and brother in law didn't live with their family?"
Khushi looked down at Priya who was staring outside the window in wonder and sighed.She looked at Arnav "It's kind of complicated"
"I am all for the hard stuff" Arnav said with a small smile.
Khushi smiled back.She sighed again "Well in short I guess you could say my sister and brother in law fell in love but my brother in law's family didn't agree for the wedding.They even tried to force him to marry some other girl.He didn't want to though.Fed up with their disagreements he ran away with my sister and married her.When his family found out,they disowned him but he said he couldn't care less" Khushi's smile widened in memory "He loved my sister a lot.He wouldn't leave a chance to romance with her or spend time with her and then Priya was born" Khushi caressed Priya's cheeks "It was the most happiest moments of our lives.I became an aunt,my sister a mother,and her husband a father" Suddenly her eyes became distant and the smile disappeared from her face "But then they died" she almost whispered "In an accident.Priya became orphaned.Even though I am her guardian she would never know who her real parents were.What they were like and how much love they would have showered on her and spoiled her" A tear slipped her pale cheek "I wish they were still alive.They were so young and so much in love" she tried to stifle her sobs.
Arnav stopped the car and looked at her "Khushi" he whispered.He leaned over towards her and wiped her tears away "It's okay Khushi.You shouldn't keep your feelings trapped inside"
Khushi looked up at him and burst into tears "Oh Arnav" she sobbed clinging on to him "Why did god have to take them away?"
Arnav returned the hug caressing her hair.Priya looked at the duo confused why Khushi was crying and Arnav hugging her.She patted Khushi's arm but she kept crying.She patted Arnav's arm but he didn't seem to notice.Priya still couldn't speak so she began crying to grab their attention.Khushi looked at Priya and then hugged her still in Arnav's warm embrace.Priya smiled and closed her eyes falling asleep.
Arnav pulled Khushi back after a while and looked at her.He wiped her tears off her cold pale cheeks "It's okay Khushi.Do you feel better now"
Khushi nodded.Arnav stared at her,her face so close to his,body almost touching her.It was weird to have a soul in your arms.Who knew better than Arnav? He could feel her as if she was solid though his hands did go through a little bit.Arnav gently pulled Khushi closer slowly not breaking eye contact.Arnav bent forward letting his hand brush against her cheeks.He pulled a strand of her hair behind her ear in a way to make sure it didn't disturb his view again.He looked at her mesmerized "Arnav" Khushi whispered.
Arnav leaned forward closer to Khushi and brushed his lips against hers making her gasp.Her lips were cold.He wondered if her lips would still be cold if she was in her body though he highly doubted it "What do you feel?" he asked in his husky voice.
Khushi closed her eyes "I..I don't know" she whispered.
Arnav was about to place his lips on hers when suddenly his phone began ringing.Khushi gasped and immediately pulled back.Arnav also pulled back and pulled out his phone wanting to find a distraction "Hello...what...okay we-I'm on my way" he said.
Arnav cut the call and looked at Khushi "Your body.It's starting to grow hyper"
Khushi widened her eyes "We have to get to the hospital"
Arnav nodded and started the car.
***********************************************
Arnav and Khushi raced in the hospital with Priya in Arnav's arm.The three went to Khushi's room and saw her surrounded by doctors who trying to calm her down.Her body was growing impatient.A nurse noticed Arnav "Please leave the room" she said strictly.
"Tell her you're a doctor" Khushi said.
"What? No way" he whispered.
"Please leave" the nurse repeated.
"Tell her" Khushi insisted.
Arnav scowled "I am a doctor" he said to the nurse.
The nurse put her hands on her hips "I have never seen you around here"
"Look I would love to discuss about if you have ever seen me before or I could actually save the patient" The nurse thought for a second and then nodded.Arnav went forward towards Khushi's body which was having difficulty breathing.He put a sleeping Priya on the couch.He waited for Khushi's instructions but it never came.He frowned and turned around.He widened his eyes when he saw Khushi kneeling on the floor breathing heavily.Her hand was around her throat as if trying to save herself "Khushi" he said"
"Yes that's the patient's name" the nurse said annoyed "Now are you going to save her?"
Arnav gulped,his eyes frozen on Khushi's soul "Get out" he said.
The nurse frowned "Excuse m-"
"GET OUT" he yelled.
The nurse immediately fled.Arnav slid next to Khushi and pulled her towards him "Khushi Khushi are you okay? Khushi?" Khushi couldn't manage to say anything.Her breathing was becoming shallow.Arnav looked at Khushi's body.It was growing worse by the minute and he didn't know what to do.Arnav stood up and raced next to Khushi's body.He didn't know what to do.Sweat beads began growing on his forehead as his head spun to see Khushi's soul and body.Arnav grabbed an injection and hoped it would work as he pushed it into Khushi's skin.Khushi's body jerked and then fell on the bed moving no more except her chest indicating she was indeed breathing.Arnav spun around and saw Khushi's soul fall to the ground,her eyes closed.Arnav raced to Khushi's soul and put his arms around her pulling her towards him "Khushi Khushi wake up.Are you okay?"
Khushi slowly opened her eyes.Her eyes remained half opened.She managed to give a small smile "Looks like you have become a doctor now" she whispered.
"Khushi are you okay? Are you feeling better?"
Khushi nodded "Yeah I feel much better now but I am tired.I think I am going to take a nap now" she said closing her eyes.
Arnav sighed closing his eyes in relief.The door suddenly flew open.Arnav looked up.It was him.Milan Soan.Arnav clenched his jaw and stood up.Milan looked at him confused why he looked so angry at him "Um hi" he said a bit unsure.He looked at Khushi's body,his eyes expressing surprise and shock when he realized her body went back to normal.He looked at Arnav "Did you use the injection?" Arnav nodded "Damn" he muttered under his breath.He took the injection and put it into his briefcase.
He was about to head out the door when he heard Arnav's voice filled with fury "You did this to her"
Milan turned around "Excuse me"
Arnav scowled "You are the one who keeps on making her body go hyper.You think I don't know"
"Look I don't know what you are ta-"
"No I know everything and so do you.I know you tried to marry her even though you yourself were married.I know you are the reason she is in coma for the last year.I know you keep on coming in her room and feed her your injections so she can die"
Milan scowled "But how.I made sure all that would go down with her"
"Well now I know so you better watch your back Mr.Milan Soan because I will give her justice and also your wife.I will make sure you do nothing to hurt her"
"And who the hell are you?"
"I am her fiance" Arnav said with confidence.
Milan widened his eyes "What? But I was her fiance"
"Correct.You WERE her fiance.I AM her fiance"
Milan clenched his jaw "You can't be with her 24/7.One day I will eventually get to her"
"And I will stop you that day before you can even set your eyes on her and put you behind the bars"
"We'll see" Milan challenged.
"We will but this time make sure you don't try to play the same game because trust me the outcome won't be the same" he said gesturing to Khushi.
"Oh don't you worry about that"
"I won't because I will make sure you play fair and I win square"
Milan scowled "We'll see"
"Oh we will" Arnav smirked.
***********************************************
After Milan left,Arnav went towards Khushi's soul.He picked her up and put her gently on the couch.He sat down on the floor watching her sleep peacefully.He caressed her cheek "I think I just might start growing feelings for you Khushi" he whispered knowing well she couldn't hear him.He smiled.He took out his phone and dialed a number "Hello...I need high security in the City Hospital Room Number 135 and I want the best"
