Part 8
Arnav was driving Aarav to school like he always did.He listened to his son's constant shatter,nodding to what he said ever couple seconds to let him know that he was listening.Aarav was a huge chatterbox to which Arnav knew it was just only one of the traits he got from his mother.
Arnav frowned when he noticed a huge crowd in the middle of the road.He stopped the car and got out.Aarav follwoed him.They both shoved and pushed their way inside and saw an unconscious woman on the ground.Arnav bent down and pushed back her hair that covered her face.Who he saw stole his breath.It was Khushi.She looked pale.One man said to Arnav "Take her to the hospital.You have a car with you"
Arnav widened his eyes and shook his head "No" he whispered.
Aarav managed to find Arnav.His eyes traveled to the figure who lay on the ground "Mom!" he cried out in happiness.He looked at his father "Dad dad,let's take mom to the hospital.She looks sick"
Arnav looked at his son's pleading face.He hesitated but he couldn't refuse his son.He took a deep breath and wrapped his arms around Khushi's figure.He picked her up.She felt lighter than before but still managed to fit perfectly in his arms.Arnav lay her in the back seat with a blank face.He was trying hard not to show how he was feeling.Arnav sat in the driver's seat,trying to calm his thundering heart.Aarav sat in the seat next to his father "I'll drop you off first" Arnav said turning the car on.
"No" Aarav said stubbornly "Let's go to the hospital"
"But you have school"
"Health comes first right dad"
Arnav frowned but then sighed "Fine" he said.Aarav grinned.

The doctor turned to Arnav once he finished giving Khushi a check up "She's fine.I guess she has been stressing over some things and had not been taking care of herself.Like neglecting herself.Just take care of her"
Arnav nodded.The doctor left.Aarav sat next to Khushi on the bed.He held her hand,waiting for her to wake up.
As if Khushi heard him,she woke up.Her eyes first met with Aarav's "Aarav" Khushi whispered.She raised her hand which he wasn't holding and touched his cheek.A wide smile spread on Khushi's face.She pulled Aarav into her arms and hugged him tightly.A tear of happiness fell from Khushi's eye "It's you" she whispered "It's actually you.I thought I would never be able to see you again"
Aarav smiled.He pulled back from the hug and looked at Khushi "I missed you mom" he said and then frowned "But why did you leave?"
Khushi looked away.She heard someone clear their throat and turned around.It was him.Arnav.He looked at her with a stern look.He looked at Aarav "It's time for you to go to school now Aarav.Now she's fine"
Aarav frowned "But dad,it's been so long since we have seen mom.I want to spend some time with her.Let's take her with us home"
Arnav frowned.Here he was trying to get rid of her and there his son wanted to take her home "Aarav" he said.
"Please dad.You always say if I ever need or want something,just ask you and I will have it.Dad I want mom"
Arnav couldn't begin to explain how his heart had begin hurting since the moment he saw her.He tried his hard to make sure the hurt didn't display on his face.Memories flooded his head.Wonderful memories...but then they would just disappear and the hurtful memories would replace them.Arnav looked at Khushi who was staring at him.There was something in her eyes that gave him an undescribable feeling.Good or bad,he didn't know.He looked at Aarav's pleading face.He closed his eyes and sighed.His son had never asked for anything from him.Now when he asked,he was having a hard time fulfilling it.Arnav opened his eyes "Aarav,can you give us a minute?" Aarav nodded and left.Arnav turned toward Khushi.He walked up to her "Come to my house" he commanded "Stay at my house for a week and then leave" Arnav took out a blank check and threw it towards her "Fill in your amount"
Khushi looked up at him,her eyes filled with hurt.She stood up from the bed and stepped towards him him.She took the blank check and put it in his pocket "I don't want money to be with my own son"
"My son" Arnav said,his voice pressing on the word 'my' "He's mine and only mine" Arnav said possessively "So what if he has your blood.You don't deserve to be the mother of such an innocent and naive child"
Khushi bit her lip,trying to make sure her tears don't come "I will come" she said as firmly as she could "I don't want your money or anything"
"One week" Arnav said.
"One week" Khushi repeated 'I will treasure this one week' she promised herself.
Arnav turned around and left.Khushi soon followed his trail.
