Arshi FF:Arshi's Life Thread 2 - Ch 105-110 (Completed) - Page 22

"Papaaa... Can you tell me abot my mom and dad..." she said with tear filled eyes. Harish suddenly felt her pain and touched her shoulder with a nod. He stood and went to his wardrobe. He came and sat with an album. He opened it and started to explain the pictures. "Khushi... you know me and your father Shashi... we were best buddies... we met in college... then our friendship became so thick... Shashi is a very kind hearted... smart... clever... an honest person... He became a part of this family... He joined our office as my father... your Dhadha ji liked him so much..." he saw her face which is very keenly listening to him with a smile.

"Then me and Anuj got married first... We started to force him to marry... finally your mom came... though you all lived in your place... weekends or any other occasions... it was mandatory that you all should spend here... we know that your Buwaji was in Lucknow... met her during your parents wedding... but that time she was quite young... life went smoothly... Arnav... Adi... NK... followed by you... when we all saw you... we didnt had any words to express our happiness... Avanthika was the one who loved you so so much... She really wanted you to be our daughter-in-law..."

Khushi looked at his face. He nodded and continued "Yes... you know Arnav always fought with you... don't know he kept himself alone... while Adi and NK just loved your company... we tried to change his rudeness towards you... but we failed..."

Khushi looked at the snaps. Her Buwaji was there in only one snap and she herself couldn't recognise her. She turned and saw her mom and dad's pictures. She touched it. Then the trio's wedding snaps. There she saw a person... she looked so keenly... but she couldn't get his face as it was blurred because of these many years. "Papa... Who is this..." she pointed that person. "Oh he is Govardhan... elder /one and only brother of Avanthika and Sheela... father of NK..." Harish cleared her.

"Oh... what abot NK's mom..." she looked him. "Kamini... she died after giving him birth... so Avanthika and Sheela took care of him that time... he's so attached that he settled here..." Harish smiled at her. "Papa... NK said that someone tried to kill me... in the hospital... was it true..." she observed his face. Harish nodded "Yes Khushi... that's why I handed you to your Buwaji... just for your safety..." he lost in his thoughts. "Papa... why... what happened..." She wanted her answers.

"Khushi... Your father found some cheating stuffs in our office... for that he has been threatened to leave that stuff... but due to the affection he kept on us... he continued to dig it... your father has been beaten by some unknown persons... they thought that it will teach a lesson to your father...that he will stop... but he continued as he was a very straight forward person too... so brave... didnt afraid of such things... then that accident... Avanthika couldn't leave you... as you were crying that time... so she too joined you to visit the temple... but I just received a call from an unknown person... who gave information that you were in hospital... that your vehicle has met with an accident... when I ran there... that unknown person told that our driver who in his last minute begged to admit you in the hospital as you only had a pulse while others didnt"

"I was crestfallen... I didnt informed abot this accident to others in the family... and when we found that someone tried to kill you there... with the help of the doctors... we saved you... then I made that decision... and informed others that you all dead in that accident..." Harish finished with his body shaking a bit as he didnt shared this to anyone.

Khushi forgot to blink her eyes as she was in a shock. Her tears simply rolled over her cheeks. "So this is the reason... why Arnav hates her... but I didnt mean that..." she thought. Harish touched her head. She wiped her tears and "Papa... did you found who that person... I mean behind this accident..."

"Yes dear... It was our old staff... Shyam... Govardhan found abot him and he was arrested instantly... but I thought that you must grow with complete protection... I made sure abot your every stage... then called you for an interview... just to keep you around us... especially around me..." He stared her. Khushi mouthed "Shyam". "Khushi don't worry... he's in jail... Govardhan made sure that he remains in jail for what he had done..." Harish said proudly abot Govardhan.

"Papa... can I have this album..." she asked slowly as she wanted to see her parents again and again. "Sure... everyone has forgotten abot this album... as it remained with me... wait a minute..." remembering something Harish went to his wardrobe. There in the lower shelf behind his dresses he pulled a small box. "Here..." he extended that box to her. She looked him confusingly. He opened the box and showed the contents in that box. Her toys... her comb... her bands... a snap of her mom, dad along with her... her dresses... "Khushi... I preserved some things of yours... just to hand you when you remember your past..."

Khushi stood speechless. She thanked him and hugged him. She then picked that box along with that album and walked out. When she left, Adi and NK who has heard everything stood with tear filled eyes. They had actually come to call her as Lavanya and Zoya thought to go. But when they heard abot the past they stood silently and listened everything. They felt for Khushi. They didnt wanted to disturb her. So they walked towards Lavanya and Zoya. Told them that she's talking with Harish. They left asking them to convey her that they will call her later.

When Arnav returned from office, he found Khushi sitting on the bed with her eyes shut and silent tears flowing over her cheeks holding something. For a few seconds, he couldn't watch her like that. Then his thoughts alerted him making him to say "Getting attention..." rudely. She instantly opened her eyes hearing his voice. She wiped her tears getting up "I don't want your attention Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada..." she's back. "How dare you... then why this tears... pretending..." loosening his tie he came towards her. "I don't have to pretend... besides you couldn't understand this..." she retorted."What the..." he gritted his teeth taking a threatening step while Khushi simply kept the snap which she was holding upside down on the bed and went to the restroom.

Arnav waited for her furiously. When she came out... she thought to go down. But he pulled her hand and held it firmly. "How dare... you didnt answer me..." he looked her face deeply which looked so pale. "Leave me..." she said looking his eyes straight. Her eyes were a bit reddened with a light swell. Without saying anything he left her. She blinked her eyes and went out.

"Something is wrong..." he thought and his eyes rested on the things kept on the bed. He went and took the snap and turned it towards him. There he saw her dad, mom along with the cute little girl (Khushi). His heart felt for her and he heard a knock. "Bhai..." Adi and NK were standing there looking around. Arnav stared them like "What". "Bhai... How's Khushi..." Adi asked worriedly.

Before Arnav could complete "She went dow..." NK said "Nannav... poor Khushi... she came to know abot her past through uncle..." NK looked at Arnav. "What..." Arnav couldn't get it. "Bhai... even we didnt know many things... you know... me and NK heard everything when we went to call Khushi..." Adi is so worried. Arnav looked at them blankly. "Yeah Nannav... just now we came after dropping Lavanya and Zoya... we wanted to check on her..." NK said so concernly.

"What are you two talking abot... What happened to her... Yeah she was crying when I came in... but I..." he couldn't complete it. Adi and NK exchanged their looks. "Would you guys spill it..." Arnav lost his patience. Adi explained him everything abot what Harish had told to Khushi. "Damn it..." Arnav gritted his teeth thinking that's why she had tears. He felt angry on himself as he hurted her more without knowing her condition.

Adi and NK glanced the box on the bed. "Bhai... can we..." he waited for his permission. He just nodded picking the snap again. He thought atleast he got his dad and others for him but she... she has lost both... He felt for her. Then he saw Adi and NK holding her childhood things. "NK... do you remember this doll..." Adi asked showing a Barbie doll to NK. Arnav just turned to watch it. He closed his eyes and thought how he always used to behave rudely with her. "Adi... how can I forget it... it's her favourite doll rite..." NK smiled but it faded thinking that she couldn't remember anything.

"Bhai... She needs you now... We are going down... you coming..." Adi asked Arnav. When Arnav didnt replied Adi and NK exchanged their looks thinking that he must need some time to accept their Chintu. They went down. Arnav is in his own thoughts. His eyes fell on the pack. He opened it and had a cute smile unknowingly when he found the same lehenga which he had liked. "Khushi..." he blurted.

Then suddenly his face turned rude... furious... he uttered "but I heard in a different way... that Khushi had dragged mom when mom didnt want to go... dad told that mom went because Khushi didnt stopped crying..." he banged his fist struggling what to believe...

He got changed and went down. There he saw Khushi still in the sad mode while Adi and NK tried to cheer her up. Arnav went and sat in the dining table. Khushi was made to sit next to him. Harish had told them that she knew her past through him. They felt for her thinking in her position as how hard it will be for her when she couldn't remember anything. Arnav started to eat while staring her here and there. Harish thought that he's still angry knowing that she's Chintu. He also thought that it will be okay very soon.

When Khushi didnt ate anything... Sheela came towards her "Khushi... don't feel... we are here for you... am here for you..." she touched her cheek affectionately which brought a faint smile on her lips. Then Sheela started to feed her which Khushi couldn't refuse. Everyone felt so happy.

Arnav was working in his laptop when Khushi entered their room. He just looked up. Without minding him she went to her wardrobe and picked her night dress to change. After changing she took her snap and went to the balcony. She looked at the snap then at the stars. Slowly her tears started to roll again. Arnav couldn't concentrate in his work. Though he's angry with her... he just wanted to divert her... support her... now...

He went to her and stood next to her. "Khushi... you okay..." he asked with so much love in his eyes. She wiped her tears instantly remembering his words "Getting attention..." He felt guilty abot his own words. "Khushi... come in... it's so cold out..." he said softly.

"Why does it bother you Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada... am just hurting myself... in cold... you must be happy actually... as you have married me to take revenge... rite..." she's so upset. "Khushi..." he rolled his eyes "I said come in..." he said raising his voice. "Why should I listen..." she retorted. "Because am your husband..." he gritted his teeth. "Husband..." she looked furiously with anger spitting in her eyes remembering his words "I don't love you... I just pretended to take revenge..."

"Yup... do you want any proof..." saying this suddenly he smirked and started to close the gap. "Proof..." she felt nervous now moving back. "Khushi... come in..." still with that smirk. "No..." she composed herself and looked away. "You know what I will do... when you refuse..." he took a step towards her. She just walked in throwing an angry stare to him remembering that he will lift her. He smirked and followed her.

When she sat in the recliner he came near her and signalled bed. He just lifted her when she didnt moved from the recliner. "Put me down..." she started to shake his shoulder. He made her to fall near the bed. "You..." she angrily lifted her hands to strangle him then coming to realisation she simply laid down. Arnav lay in his place with a smirk. He looked at her. "Why are you looking at me..." she asked angrily. "Am your husband..." he smirked. She felt something in her stomach then turned in the opposite side.
