WAADA RAHA...
"Di... Khushi kaha hai?" {Di where's Khushi?} Asked Arnav as he hurried inside Shaantivan. In quick long strides, Arnav reached upstairs to his room and stopped to take a breath. Closing his eyes for a second and taking a deelr breath, he finally pushed open the door and entered in. Looking around the room, he din find the only person who made him rush home leaving his office at the lunch time. He walked towards the poolside and slid open the door to look around for his wife but to his disappointment, he didn't find her even there."Khushi kaha jaa sakti hai?" Arnav thought to himself when suddenly it struck him of where Khushi might have been.Rushing to the other side of the terrace he took two steps at a time and went to the terrace. Opening the door, revealed a distraught and broken Khushi cuddled up in a ball with her knees brought together to her chest, her arms wound around her knees and her head resting on the knees shaking lightly making it clear to Arnav that his Khushi was crying.Spelling a curse under his breath, his fingers formed a tight fist blocking the flow of blood through his veins. He was angry. He was damn angry. He wanted to lay his hands over the sick devil and beat him black and blue but his major priority was to console Khushi and revive her out of any sort of stress which might affect her health.
Taking slow and calculative steps towards Khushi, he slid down the wall beside Khushi looking at her expecting her to acknowledge his presence. Seeing no moment in Khushi other than the slight tremors, he placed a hand on her shoulder and with the other hand he made Khushi look up and then at him.
Arnav's eyes moistened on their own as he saw the open bear wounds and pain reflecting in Khushi's eyes. He saw Khushi sitting numb looking at him in his eyes. In the very next second, Arnav felt something soft and tender hitting him against his chest. Looking down, he saw his Khushi who had hugged him tightly wrapping her arms tightly around him fearing to lose him.
"Shh... Khushi Shaant ho jao. Kya hua? Kisine kuch kaha kya tumse?" {Shh... Khushi calm down. What happened? Did someone tell u anything?} Arnav whispered in her ears as his arms made soothing circles behind her back.
Arnav tried but there was not much reaction from Khushi. She just stayed numb in his arms as slowly her sobs subsided. After a while, Arnav felt heavy and looking down he saw his Khushi sleeping peacefully in his arms with her lips parted slightly and soft almost inaudible snores heard by Arnav. Arnav smiled thinking of how much Khushi trusts him and wants him.
Arnav swiftly lifted Khushi in his arms while Khushi, even in her sleep, caught hold of his colalr making Arnav smile looking at Khushi with a sweet lovely lost smile. He took Khushi to their room and made her lay down on the bed covering her properly with the blanket. He planted a kiss on her forehead and was about to leave to talk to his di but was stopped immediately as he saw that Khushi still had her hold on his collar. Arnav tried taking away her hand without disturbing her but Khushi's hold was way stronger than he had experienced earlier ever.
Sighing, he shifted Khushi a bit and settled himself down beside her as he slid his arm around her waist and brought her close to him saving her from the world's cruelty. Khushi snuggled more into him feeling his warmth and her left hand took hold of his right near the pillow locking their fingers forever.
Arnav kept looking at Khushi's calm face and slowly drifted into the past... The painful past.*~*It had been almost 10 months, Khushi laid on the same bed unmoving and silent with only her eyes enough to speak volumes to Arnav. Every day, Arnav would come early from the office and spend quality times with Khushi. He will recite his day at the office, recollect how many times he fired Aman in the day while he'll see Khushi's eyes twinkle at the thoughts of Arnav shouting at Aman, "Aman You'rKhushi's
Arnav would then sit with Khushi's favorite authors' books and read her stories for hours and at the end of the day he'd end up cooing her and pleading her to wake up and call him Arnav-ji.
Such was a day, Arnav had been unable to control his tears and had just turned away from Khushi to hide them when he heard something feeble behind him. Arnav jerked and looked back at Khushi who lau on the end struggling to form a proper word. Still in the shock, Arnav went near Khushi and moving his fingers through Khushi's hair, he urged her to speak something.
"A..Aa..rrr...Aavvv" Khushi stuttered unable to form a proper word but Arnav picked those and he was in cloud nine. Finally!! Finally his Khushi reacted after these many months.
Arnav's happiness knew no bound. 10 months. 10 months he had waited to get a reaction from Khushi and now finally he was successful in getting out the slightest action from her. He, immediately, called the doctor and informed her about the progress. He had called out all the family members and announced Khushi's progress. When everyone was enjoying the happy news, Arnav's eyes caught gaze of Khushi's teared face and he had been beside her in no instant. Asking everyone to leave the room, he had sat beside Khushi and soothed her as he kept saying, "Everything will be alright Khushi. Sab theek ho jaayega. Have faith. I Love You."
The doctor had confirmed Khushi's progress but Arnav was scared. He had noticed Khushi's change. Khushi's eyes held fear, they held insecurity. They dd her inner turmoil and Arnav was surely confused at her change in behavior. He tried getting Khushi to answer his queries but to no avail.
But things don't hide for long. Soon Khushi was able to speak but yet unable to walk. Arnav tried pestering Khushi to tell him the reason of her fears but she din budge. She surely kept having nightmares of that fateful day but he was sure that wasn't the only reason behind her fears and insecurities
Exactly after 1 month and 12 days of her recovery, when Arnav was back from work he was welcomed by the silent house with no one in sight. Then he had recalled the everyone except his Nani and Khushi were at Satsang. Probably his Nani was resting in her room. Slowly, Arnav made his way to his room and opened the door only to get the shock of his life.
Khushi was on the bed looking lost at the knife in her right hand and her left wrist just a few centimeters apart from the sharp edge ready to cut it off. Arnav had felt as if he was paralyzed. He din know what to do. Running towards Khushi, he had jerked her hand and the knife fell at the far corner of the room. Hugging Khushi to his life, Arnav closed his eyes and sighed in relief but soon anger took over him.
"WHAT THE HELL DAMMIT! WHAT DO U THINK WERE U DOING KHUSHI? DO U EVEN KNOW HOW DANGEROUS IT COULD BE?
"I don't want to live.. I want to die. I don't want to live Arnav" Khushi whispered as tears flowed down her eyes while Arnav looked at her shocked as if she has lost her mind
"Khushi!! What's wrong? Tum aisa kyun bol rahi ho? Arnav voiced his doubt's as he hugged Khushi tightly fearing that she would leave him alone
Khushi hugged him back and sobbed hard in his arms and said between her sobs, "Arnav...I..I don't deserve you. I.. He.. He tou..ched...me.. I am...im..pure.. I dont...want to live"
Finally Arnav knew the reason behind Khushi's changed behavior. She thinks herself to be impure. She thinks she doesn't deserve him. Arnav's anger on Shyam increased manyfolds and it took all of him to not burst out at that moment rather he had to calm Khushi and make her understand that she wasn't impure. She was still the same pure and innocent girl he had married.
Arnav cupped her face and kissed her lightly on her lips as he said, "Khushi you are still pure. Just bcoz some moronic jerk touched you doesn't make u impure. U r pure by heart, by soul. You are still my innocent Khushi whom I had fallen in love with and that doesn't and won't ever change. Mind u Khushi, never try taking such step in future. Agar tum ho toh main hu. Agar Khushi nahi toh Arnav ka koi wajud nahi. He'll die along with Khushi" {If u r there, I am there. If Khushi isn't there, there's no meaning of Arnav.} Khushi hugged Arnav tightly not wanting him to speak of his death and that was the last time Khushi ever tried to do such an act.
Arnav had made sure Shyam was given the worst punishments possible. When he had come face to face with Shyam not even the police were successful in separating Arnav from Shyam as he kept kicking and punching Shyam for playing with Khushi's life.*~*Arnav knew the reason behind Khushi's behavior today. She jsd been crying cince afternoon but hell! Due to his meeting his Di wasn't able to reach him and was highly unsuccessful in calming Khushi.
Just the last week, the judge gave his final verdict against Shyam who was sentenced to seven years life imprisonment in a completely dark cell.
Khushi, being the wife of India's top fashion designer, the medias din leave a chance to throw questions at her and make all the gossips a breaking news. Arnav had made sure no reporter who published the video was ever given a job in the journalism field. Buy today Khushi was fishing through the channels when a news channel caught her attention and that telecasted the footage of the verdict day. This made all the hurtful memories haunt back Khushi and unable to control herself, she had been crying continuously since then
It was how Arnav found KHUSHI cuddled up on the terrace crying her eyes out.
Arnav opened his eyes and looked at Khushi once again. Kissing her soft palms, he closed his eyes drifting into peaceful sleep in his love's arms determined to make sure the news channel was banned.
Minutes later Khushi opened her eyes and looked at Arnav. Finally, she was able to hug Arnav back whenever he slept with his arms around her waist. She kissed his eyes and whispered, "I Love You Arnav" Soon sleep took over her and she slept in her love's arms with a small smile on her face.*~*Finally here you all go with the sequel and the happy ending that you all wanted for HELPLESS. hope u all liked it.
