Chapter 6A

If Only

She rushed to the table and grabbed her mobile.. She then looked at Arnav and approached him.. Before she could understand Arnav's state of mind, Khushi said cheerfully...

Khushi: I'll be back soon.. I love you..

She cupped his face and placed a tender kiss on his cheeks.. Smilingly, she turned to walk away when all of a sudden, Arnav gripped her one arm brusquely and pulled her to him.. She crashed into his chest violently while he blocked her arms at her back causing her to cry out in pain.. Arnav stared into her eyes.. His gaze was like furry while Khushi looked at him numb with shock!

... Some hours later...

Arnav Singh Raizada was not the kind of person who can appreciate a good rain. In fact he despises rain. But, hats off to the one who can compel such a man to roam around on a rainy weather. Descending the stairs four steps at a time, Arnav sprinted out of the building. It was the second time he checked out her apartment in the last three hours but in vain. Soaked to bones, he got back into his car and geared up towards the main road. His expensive coat, drenched and ruined, was scattered on the back seat as his shirt stuck to his body like a second skin. "I hate rain, it's sticky and uncomfortable, nothing and no one can make me step outside on a rainy day", these were his exact words once. There was a time when this man was ready to apply for a public holiday on rainy days, but today seems that this same man forgot his own rule.

The roads of London city were almost deserted and unpractical except for the last few people running down the pavements for shelter. A white SUV drove alongside the road at less than 20km/h, the windows lowered and the car seats drenched by then. His gaze fixed upon the walking paths rather than on the road, Arnav gulped another breath worriedly as his tension climbed higher. He can still feel his legs trembled when Lavanya had barged in his office like a storm screaming her lungs out, "I can't find Khushi anywhere, what did you say to her?". At that time, it was only around 5 hours since Khushi had scurried out of his office in tears but now it had been more than 8 hours and nearly 9 pm. As he turned around the corner, the car halted in a screech and Arnav jumped out hastily. He rushed along the pavement and pushed open the door of a bistro called La Plaza. It was small yet modern and well known. Though Arnav was not a regular visitor, for Khushi it could be called her refuge. On her way to work, every morning she grabs her cappuccino from that same bistro. Very often she has lunch with Lavanya in between working hours here only. And when she wants to spend some time with herself, she'll be found in one of the leather couches of the bistro with a novel bigger than an encyclopedia. Arnav spotted the barman and hurried toward him. "Excuse me", he said out instantly as he placed his hands onto the bar counter. The guy in black pants and white shirt turned his gaze and his expression froze on Arnav's drenched state before he asked, "Good Evening Sir, what can I serve you?". Ignoring the welcoming tone of the barman, Arnav asked in hurry, "have you seen Khushi?". The barman rolled his eyes in confusion. "Khushi Gupta, she works in AR Designs! God damn it, she pass by here every day for your f**king cappuccino", Arnav barked out. The barman was definitely taken aback by Arnav's reaction but he also noticed the distress in his eyes. "Oh Miss Gupta, she was here, but it's been hours. And she seemed to be in a terrible state. She sat for some time and I'm almost sure she was crying but later on when I came back from my break time, she already left." Arnav stepped back. He could feel the beats of his heart pulsing desperately against his chest as he turned on his feet and walked back to the door. He closed his fists, angry at himself as he remembered Khushi's tears.

"Arnav you are hurting me!"

"& how about the hurt you are causing me Khushi? How could you do this?"

"Par meine kiya kya? (But what have I done?) Aww Arnav, please this hurts"

He pushed open the door with a hard punch and stepped out in the rain. His heart was restless as he began walking down the road with a hope to see Khushi somewhere around. Water drops dripping from his hairs and it rolled down his cheeks to his chin. His gaze searching around as he cursed himself for being such a bas***d.

"Tumne kya kiya? (What you've done?) What do you think of me Khushi? A fool? You won't tell me so I won't find out?"

"What are you talking about Arnav?"

"Fine, who the hell is doctor walia!"

"Wo..."

"Don't look down... Look at me when I'm talking to you... You don't remember, I'll help you.. She's your f**king gynecologist. Kuch yaad ayaa?... (You remember?...) How could you do this Khushi? You know exactly how your every action reflects on my life, my reputation & my business!"

"Arnav I just wanted to be sure before telling you.. Mein tumhe khamaka pareshan nahin karna chati thi...(I didn't want to worry you...) I'm sorry"

"You ought to be!... Actually no.. galti meri hai.. (it's my fault..) Shayad meine tumhe kuch zyada freedom dehdi apne life aur company mein! Tum bhool gayi, ke unofficial girlfriend se pehle tum yahan kam karti hain and I'm your boss." (Maybe I've given you too much freedom in my life and company! You forgot that before being the unofficial girlfriend, you work here and I'm your boss."

Arnav snapped out of his thoughts when his cell rang. The screen displayed Lavanya calling and he took it instantly. "Yeah Lavanya", he said out in haste. "Bhai, Khushi mil gayi (Bhai, we found Khushi)", declared Lavanya in a worried tone. "Aap jaldi usse lekar aoo, wo... wo...! (Go pick her fast, she... she...!) ", she began rambling and Arnav barked out. "Wo kya (She what?), speak damn it?".And suddenly his eyes popped out in shock as he listened to her words. His cell slipped out of his hands and crashed into the ground. "Khushi", he whispered to himself before he started running speedily in the direction of his car.

"How could you been to a doctor without informing me? If this news is out, do you realize what could happen to the reputation of AR Designs? It's your life, I don't care what you do with it.. But if this kid is mine, you had to talk to me first before taking any decision..."

"If it's yours?"

The way she stared at him with her teary eyes haunted him. Her shattered voice still echoes in his ears like broken glass. He didn't stop her when she pushed him angrily.. But he should have.. he should have run after her when she left completely broken without any more words. Because Khushi... she is the one who makes a difference in his meaningless life.

Kaisee teri khudgarzee

Na dhoop chune na chhaanv

Kaisee teri khudgarzee

Kisi thaur tike na paanv

How's this selfishness of yours,

that you don't take the sun, nor take the shade..

How's this selfishness of yours,

that your feet don't stay anywhere..

Her head resting against the pillow... Her eyes closed... And her eyelashes wet as a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Ban liyaa apnaa paighambar

Tar liyaa tu saat samandar

Phir bhee sookhaa mann ke andar

Kyoon reh gaya

You've tried being your own god,

and crossed all seven seas,

Still, there is a draught within your heart,

Why is it so..

To Be Continued very soon.. In 1 or 2 days!
