"I said move away from my bed... Chintu..." he gritted his teeth furiously. "Chintu..." she replied thoroughly confused. When he sensed that she hasn't moved yet he came towards her and pulled her by holding her elbow. "Arnav..." she couldn't utter anything else as she tried to steady herself due to his sudden action.
He just pushed her a bit while taking his hand from her elbow. She touched her elbow with her other hand as it pained. She looked him with lots of pain in her eyes vanishing all her blush/smiles. "Arnav... what happened... are you still angry..." she took a step towards him. "Stop pretending..." he shouted at her which made her to freeze.
"Pretending... me... why... Arnav..." she was stopped by his hand. "For money... Chintu..." he stressed her name which she didnt aware with a furious look. "Money... (She was crestfallen)... Arnav..." tears filled her eyes. Arnav turned his back to her. "This is what you understood..." then she remembered that name "Chintu... Chintu... why are you using that name..." she said with tears.
"That's your name damn it..." he turned to her with anger spitting in his eyes. "No... Am not Chintu..." she replied angrily. "Yes you are... and you are the one who killed my mom..." he almost crushed her shoulders by holding it so tight. "What..." she couldn't breathe. He pushed her hardly which made her to fell on the bed.
She felt so difficult to digest. "What... I killed your mom..." she looked his back. She composed herself and stood when he didnt replied. She came in front of him and talked "I killed your mom... how did i do that... when i remember no such things..." she tried to defend herself. "Don't pretend... you know everything..." gritting his teeth he advanced towards her threateningly which made her to move backwards.
"No... no... am not pretending... please believe me... i don't remember anything..." tears rolled over her cheeks as she never expected such reaction from her heartless monster. "You don't remember... okay let me tell you... 15 years back... it was you who killed my mom in that accident..." he yelled at her. "What..." she couldn't take that. "Arnav... please try to understand... i don't remember anything... as i too met with an accident 15 years back... i tried hard to remember... but i couldn't... couldn't even remember my parents..." she said helplessly.
For a second he felt for her. Then "It was the same accident... which am talking abot..." he's back again in his ASR mode. "Arnav..." she cried "I love you... i don't remember what else i did..." she said with tears flowing over her cheeks.
Arnav tried hard not to see her face as he couldn't watch her like that. He's fighting inside. "Arnav... you love me too... please understand..." she cried. "No..." his yell made her to stop cry instantly. "I don't love you..." he said looking her. "What..." she was taken aback. "Yes... I just pretended to take revenge..." he felt so difficult to spill those words.
"What... pretended... no... no... i won't believe that... you are lying... I can see your eyes... your eyes were so much in love with me... no no you are lying... why... why you have to lie..." She cried loud. Arnav couldn't stand there for a second. He walked towards the balcony and closed his eyes to let his thoughts flow flawlessly.
How he saw Harish and Buwaji talking near the pillar... after that pooja... how he heard them talking abot Chintu... Chintu... the name which he totally hated... how he curiously heard their talking's... how shocked he was when he came to know that Chintu is not dead... above that Khushi is Chintu... that too his dad and Buwaji... they both knew abot this... if she is alive why he has to hide it... he felt fishy... he even thought that if Harish is protecting her from him... his nerves tightened thinking that it was her... she's the reason behind his sadness... his lose... his mother... Arnav opened his eyes. He turned to check on Khushi. She wasn't there. Also their door is not opened. So he's sure that she must be in the restroom. He again closed his eyes.
Khushi's tears dried. She wiped her eyes and took her night dress and went to the restroom. There in the mirror she saw her reflection. She just thought how happy she was dreaming so much... but how this storm had shook her to the core. Still she couldn't believe that she's the reason for Avanthika's death. But how... she thought so hard that her head ached. She touched her head. "Devi Mayya... what's all these... give me strength..." praying this she washed her face.
She looked so pale. She got changed. Then with a determined look she thought that she will find the truth behind her blame... she's so curious that how come she's the cause for his mom's death... She also knows very well that he loves her so much... he just lied... she came out and saw his back in the balcony. She went near the bed. "Get the hell out from my bed..." his voice ringed again. She closed her eyes for a second and went towards the recliner. She is not comfortable with that. But she felt okay with that. Also she thought she won't sleep in his bed until he says.
She laid in the recliner and closed her burning eyes. She didnt know when does sleep took her in its possession. He didnt know for how long he stood like that. He opened his eyes and felt his heart so heavy as he had said so many things to his sweetheart. He turned and saw the bed. He came inside and started to look around when she wasn't in the bed. Then she was there... in the recliner...
He went near her and saw her calm face. Then thinking how come she can sleep in such a situation... he furiously went to change. He came out in his t-shirt and tracksuit. He lied on his bed looking the ceiling. He saw her struggling to sleep in the recliner. He turned his back to her thinking that she deserves that. But he couldn't stop his heart as it leaded his mind now. He turned and saw her. Then he went near her and lifted her gently. He placed her next to him in his bed and covered her with the blanket. He adjusted her hairs and lay on his side staring her.
