ARSHI TS - BELONGING TO YOU COMPLETED - Page 11

The days that followed Arnav saw the facet of Khushi he never wanted to witness again.He had seen her getting upset,outright angry,feircely possessive and protective,being naughty and mischeivious,irrtating the hell out of him,annoying him deliberately.

Standing by his side as they fought all life puts them through.The nights they had spent beneath the stars sharing and comforting each other,reveling in the glory of their togetherness.

Seeing her going on with life plastering her fake smile on her face as if nothing was wrong killed him insides.They both were starkingly similiar on this accord.He hid his true feelings beneath the mask of anger and she with her fake smiles.

Having mastered the acts to hide their pain and vulnerability from everyone but there was no hidden veil between them.They had laid their soul bare to the other only for their heart to be filled with an innate peace and contentment.

The very reason due to which Khushi dropped all her pretenses when she would be all alone with him.It ached him to see her so subdued and silent.It ached him when those hazel orbs didn't glint with happiness.To not be able to see his untainted reflection in her eyes because a restlessness always resided there.

Try as he might,he couldn't get her to talk.He would have taken her outburst,her complaints anything.The Khushi who could talk miles per second these days made it appear that he was conversing with himself.

Love was indeed a Double Edged Sword because when loving someone become synonymous to life to you,their slightest of pain held the power to hurt you immensely.

Despite all this,he didn't let anything falter him from his mission.Patience was never his virtue and Arnav Singh Raizada couldn't help but admit to himself that his patience levels were on display only when it concerned his wife.She had always been the only Exception.

And thus he let her be.The way she wanted.Understanding her silent plea of being with herself,he would give her the needed space and will still be there watching on her never leaving her alone.

Each morning Khushi would wake up to find a rose on her bedside that he has himself planted in the garden because she loved roses.Delegating more work in office than ever only to be able to spend the evenings with her,taking her out,watching movies,long drives,indulging himself and her in the activities she loved,doing it all for her.

But as night would progress,after sharing the deepest core of intimacy with each other as they would lay in each other's embrace,he would sense the ardent need of reassuarance in her hold.As if she almost feared something and fear held no place in their life.

On more instances than one,she deliberately avoided going to Buaji's house much to his displeasure.Not facing the problem only heightened the repurcussions and his Khushi was not someone who finds a route to escape from them.She was a fighter,his lips curving into a heartfelt smile as he remembered the fireball he has fallen in love with.

Thus that evening inlieu of showing her the progress of the ongoing construction of new AR branch,he took her to Buaji's house.Encasing her hand in his own with Aakash and Payal already being there,he tried to banish off all her fears once and for all with his unconditional love.

Leaning her head on the glassdoor,her hands crossed beneath her chest,she stood there staring into nothing.Angry at herself and at her husband.She had been aloof since last night after coming back from Laxmi Nagar.

Today has been the first that she had woken up before him.Her husband had the strange liking of watching her asleep,as he would wake her up daily amidst sharing loving kisses.And today she has missed it all going on ignoring him well aware that it was one thing he couldn't stand.

She wanted to ask him why had he taken her there without her consent.The questions were creating havoc in her mind.If the past memories hurt,the future scared her.

Straightening up she glanced at the anklets she wore,the only testimony she had of her parents.Her slender wrists adored with his mother's bangles.Was that all their children would know of their grandparents?.

Would she be able to bear if her kids suffer the differentiation she had gone through?.Instead of having everything what if they end up feeling the same void?.

Her mind was buzzing with various scenarios when Arnav snaked his arms around her waist,arresting her in his hold.She stepped out of his arms much to his annoyance,seating herself on the bed ,trying hard to concentrate on the book in her hand.

Arnav tried hard to keep his calm seeing her behave so unresponsive and nonchalant.Her behaviour since last night was baffling and hurtful,but he had let it go,knowing she was hurt too.Taking a deep breath and remembering the cause of him coming early,he stated.

"Khushi.There is an invite for a dinner party tonight.Shall we go or pass?".

"Why are you even taking the trouble of asking me.Just take a decision like you always do and Ill oblige".She answered his question with her blatant retort.

"When I have ever taken a decision without taking your view and this is just a dinner party Khushi".

"Yes today its a dinner party and yesterday it was taking me to Laxmi Nagar without even feeling the need to inform me.I for once don't remember asking you to do that.What on earth were you trying to prove by taking me there?".

Arnav stood still relieved to finally see Khushi letting it all out.Khushi inched closer as she shook him adamantly.

"Why are you standing like a statue now?.ANSWER ME.Why haven't you probed me for any questions?.What did you said to me the other day ,that we will tell our children about our parents.What are you going to tell them,the fact that their parents were orphaned at such a young age?".

Her eyes started glistening with unshed tears as she whispered in a hoarse voice.

"That all their life they have been a searching the place where they could really belong to?.Why are you putting it up with all my nuisances?.Why are you bearing it it all without any questions?.Is this some sort of Charity you engage yourself in every now and then?".

If they haven't been standing so close then would have believed that he hasn't heard her correctly.It was just within a moment as his eyes went from sheer disbelief to turning bloodshot as he bit out harshly.

"CHARITY".Are you freaking out of your mind?.Do you even realise what you are saying?.Is that all that is between us?".

He pulled her dangerously close his eyes boring into hers filled with rage and the agonizing hurt caused by her words.

"I took you to Buaji's house to make you see and realise that the past no longer holds any importance in our life.That even though their behaviour had triggered the painful memories,our present is much more beautiful than that and a more beautiful future awaits us.The fact that inspite of being orphaned,we will bestow all the love we could muster on our children.We will build our own little family".

Khushi started at him spellbound as Arnav cupped her face in his palms,his each word coming out like an oath.

"And to answer your question.I am doing this because I LOVE YOU Khushi.This life hold no meaning for me if you are not in it.Nothing makes sense if you are upset.I could see right through your soul.You are ALL MINE with your wounds and scars.Your Anger,Your Pain,Your Tears,Your Smiles,its only ME who have the right on them.Because YOU BELONG TO ME in this and all other lifetimes to come".

With those last words,he stroded out of room as his words kept echoing in her ears.

The following song conveys Arnav's emotions beautifully.
