Khushi:yeah doctor but almost 15 yrs back when I was 8 yrs old. Whats the problem doctor?
Doctor:A clot is formed inside your head which needs to be operated asap or else..
Khushi:or else what?
Doctor:or else the clot wont take much time to spread.
khushi: What if I dont get operated?
Doctor:Then u'll have less time for urself.
Khushi:how much time?
Doctor:2weeks or maximum 2 months..not more than that.
Khushi:I have a request doctor pls dont inform abt it to any of my family member not even to Arnavji.
Doctor:bt he has the right to know Khushi:i know but pls doctor...pls...
Doctor:ok fine...
Doctor goes out and tells Arnav that he can take Khushi with him.Arshi then drove back to Shantivan.They entered in to meet the shocked gazes of their family members.Nk & Anjali were the first to recover.
Anjali:Chotte..Chotte..how r u? R U alright?
Shock was an understatement for Arshi as they thought how come Anjali know abt his kidnap.As if answering their doubts,mami spoke:Phatti Saree u were correct...It was damadji who kidnapped my Arnav bitwa.
Anjali hugged her brother fearing to lose him.
Anjali:I m sorry chotte..I am very sorry. bcoz of me u have to endure this much pain.
Arnav:Shh..pls stop crying di.It was not ur fault.I failed to protect u from that slime scumbag...I m sorry.
Nani:none of u were at the fault.It was he who manipulated us and had woven a fake thread of respect and care around our eyes.We must be thankful to god that finally he is out of our lives.
Aakash:Bhai r u ok? & Khushiji how did u get hurt?
Arnav:I m fine aakash & Khushi got hurt while saving me.
Everyone gaped at that.
Khushi:DI how did..did u know abt Shyamji?
Anajli:when i was entering in our room I heard him talk to someone ordering him to kill my..my chotte. I eavesdropped his conversation and then when he went away I disclosed it to the family members. Just now Aakash & nk Bhai handed him to the police.
Khushi(hugging Anjali):I m sorry di..I m really sorry...If I wouldnt hav eturned up in everyone's life nothing of such sort would have happened.
Anjali:No Khushiji U were nowhere at fault...SO pls dont blame urself.
mami:HHBB come on now the evil has left our life.Enjoy our life.
Nani:Chotte Khushi bitya go & have some rest.
Arnav/Khushi:Yeah /ji Nani
While going upstairs Khushi felt dizzy and was going to fall but as always two strong and protective arms protected her from every harm. He gently scooped her in his arms while the rest family members gasped at the scene unfolding infront of their eyes. Nani silently prayed to DM to keep their children happy.
In the rrom,
As they enterd, Arnav made khushi sit on the bed comfortably. covering her with quilt.
Arnav:Khushi r u ok?
Love,concern & care was visible in Arnav's eyes. A blind too cans ee it.
Khushi:Ha Arnavji..Just tired.
Arnav:Take rest Khushi.I'll freshen up.
Arnav went inside the bathroom while Khushi kept her head on the headset and closed her eyes waiting for Arnav to come out. Due to tiredness Dont know when sleep overtook her & she slept in sitting position. Arnav came out after freshening and saw Khushi sleeping in sitting position. He went towards her side of the bed and saw her face full of innocence. he cursed him for not believing her and hurting her.He made her lie down.Dont know till when he sat there staring at her beautiful face.His stance was broken when Khushi's hair strands were disturbing the view of his sleeping beauty.He removed that strand softly and caressed her cheek.She smiled in her sllep feeling the warmth of his hand.After some time,Arnav too slept on the bed exhausted.
Udne Ki Aasha
