Arshi FF: Destined To Love Link # 2 pg 151 - Page 69

Dropping his gaze Arnav stood up on his feet and slipped his hands in the pockets. Khushi opened her mouth to speak, time was running out and as always she had loads to say but surprisingly nothing was escaping her lips. Her eyes scattered the floor aimlessly, fine if today she couldn't bring herself up to speak her mind then didn't he too have anything to say? She wouldn't be around here anymore and maybe he wouldn't get an opportunity to speak to her, still he didn't wish to speak up? Something could be exchanged...isn't it?, her heart questioned.

With hope and expectation squirming in her eyes she allowed her gaze to travel up his face one more time. But once again she was left disappointed as his pursed lips refused to part with anything.

This impending silence and her questioning glances were getting awkward for him. Ever since shalini had broken the news that they both would leave the house, he'd not come face to face with her and had avoided her since then.

He noticed her quivering lips, that wished to say something but were failing miserably, what was preventing her from doing so he didn't have a clue. She coiled the end of her sari around her index finger and gazed at him expectantly.

Taking out his cell phone he began dialing some number, once again avoiding those eyes that were begging to be looked and answered. Placing the phone to his ear he turned around slowly and that... hurt her...it hurt her to see his back facing her. A thin layer of moisture filled the corners of her eyes.

He was aware that she wanted him to protest and question but then why would he do anything about all this? When was his opinion sought in this whole deal? The entire issue was discussed and decided between shalini and her.

When he was not asked then, then why was she expecting him to speak now? She'd stepped in his life unannounced and uninvited so now if she was stepping out then why would he react or care to stop her? her mind sought answers from his silence and her heart heard all that was unspoken by him. She stared at his back while he glanced at her reflection in the mirror as a lone pearly tear escaped from her shell like eyes before she spoke,

" I'm going."
