ArHi SS: Wedding Hues LAST PG 96 *AUGUST 25* - Page 44

Arnav paced in his room remembering past few days. He had ignored his wife. Then yelled at her. Now she is angry and making it look like it was all his fault.

Women. Wish someone could help him analyze them

Khushi made him feel that it was his fault. Yes, he was at fault but not entirely. His wife was at fault too. It was high time they spoke to each other without yelling and screaming their ears off.

...

Arnav searched for his wife in the entire house but he couldn't get hold of her. Where was she? Was she alright? Questions swam through his mind. That's when he heard soft cries and sniffing sound. He followed them to the kitchen.

There she was. His wife sitting in the corner eating chocolates. Numerous wrappers were thrown around. Her face was red probably from crying and especially her nose. Her lips were smeared with chocolate. What in the freaking hell happened to his wife? The person who hated mess had created maximum mess around.

"What the"

Khushi looked at him once and then ignored him. She continued eating chocolates. Arnav walked up to her throwing wrappers away and sat next to her. He kept looking at her while Khushi continued eating. No one spoke for some time. Soon the silence became too much for Arnav.

"You are crying"

Khushi gave him a look and continued eating her chocolates.

"Your face is red"

Khushi gave him another look and continued eating her chocolates. Arnav waited for her to say something but when she didn't, he continued, "You know if you are waiting for me to apologize, then don't. Because I am not going to. Not unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Khushi look we need to talk"

"About what?"

"About everything that happened in past few days"

"There is nothing to talk"

"There is"

"No. I know you are going to say that it's my fault" Khushi said but Arnav interrupted her, "I never said..." But Khushi cut him off, "Let me continue. I know you are going to say that it is my fault and I completely agree to it" It took few moments to understand what she really meant to say.

"What are you saying?" Arnav asked. Khushi shook her head, "Since the time I sat in this kitchen, I was thinking about past few days and I realized that it is my fault. I shouldn't have ignored you like that. Yes, Rohan has been an important part of my life and he will continue to be a part of my life but he will never be more important than you. I love him..."

"YOU LOVE HIM?" Arnav yelled. Khushi chuckled, "Will you let me continue for once? Yes, I love him. I love him as a brother"

"A what?"

Khushi laughed, "I have known him all my life. He had been my best friend. But I never saw him other than that. Infact, I had always seen him as my brother and he knows that. And I can't help it if our friends and families got weird ideas."

Both sat silent for few moments and then Khushi continued, "I know I have been selfish and immature. I had been so caught up and entangled with my immaturity that I didn't realize that I was ruining my relationship. We didn't know each other so much. Then the harkatien I did was bound to give you such ideas. Of course it hurt me when you told me all those things and I wanted you to trust me but then I somewhere down the line I understand why you didn't trust me because I didn't give you any reason to do so. All I want to say is I am sorry, Arnavji. I should have understood what you were feeling. I should have understood that I was hurting you."

"Khushi, I..."

"No. Today I am going to speak and you will listen to me. You told me I glowed around him. Did you ever think I was glowing not because of him but you? You told me you saw how I laughed when I was around him. Did you ever think it was because I was happy in my life with my husband and probably it was that happiness and laugh you could see on my face? Did you..." Before she could continue further, Arnav placed a finger on her lips, "Shhh. Kitna bologi aaj. It is high time you let me speak. You keep surprising me every time" He smiled,"I told you I wasn't going to apologize but your big monologue is compelling me to do so." He chuckled. But Khushi just gave him a look.

Arnav laughed, "My sense of humor is horrible" That made Khushi smile. Looking at her smiling, he continued, "I am sorry, Khushi. I think I was at fault too. Instead of ignoring and yelling at you, I should have just asked. But then again I was afraid"

"Of what?"

"That you would take me wrong. Look I was jealous of him. Now that I think of it I feel like an idiot but the bottom line is, I was behaving like a jealous and grumpy man. Instead of assuming things, I should have asked you. All you would have done was fight with me saying that I didn't trust you enough to think those things but we are fighting anyway. And the biggest reason is trust. I should have trusted you and more over, our relationship. I apologize for that"

"Lets promise each other something today, Arnavji"

"What?" he asked

"That we will trust each other. We will communicate with each other. If we have any doubts regarding anything, we will speak to each other instead of assuming things."

"I promise" Arnav said, "But you will have to promise me something too"

"What?"

"You will never ignore me. You will always be there for me. And you will never change for me" He smiled. Khushi looked at him surprised. Anrav smiled looking at her expressions, "I like this immature Khushi."

"You like me being immature? Meaning me ignoring you?"

"What the..I never said that"

"Really Arnavji?"

"What I mean is I like the immature Khushi who jumps like a hooligan on bed to those stupid Salman Khan songs and dances around in the room thinking that no one is watching her" He smirked.

"Did you just call me a hooligan? Wait..You called my Salman Khan's songs stupid? How dare you?" She crossed her arms around her chest.

"Khushi, I was kidding"

"Me too" And they laughed. They sat silently for few minutes when Khushi continued, "I guess we both made mistakes and we both took lessons from it. That's what life and relationship is"

"Wow. That was deep coming from you" Arnav joked. Khushi narrowed her eyes at him, "What do you mean? That I am not intelligent?"

"When did I say so?"

"You just did"

"I didn't. I never said you are not intelligent"

"But you meant it that way"

"Khushi, why are we fighting over this now?"

"Fight? What fight? We are just having healthy discussion"

They both looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Sometimes all you want your partner is to try harder for you, show you how much they love, care for you and how much they want you by their side. It is very easy to walk away from your partner but someone who really loves you will fight for you as much you will fight for them

NOTE: YES. THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER.

Now before you yell at me saying that this is abrupt end, then let me tell you that it will not have abrupt end. I will be back with epilogues. Not sure how many parts, whether one or two or more, but I will post epilogues that will have important snippets of their life. And I will post all of them together so that you dont have to wait for it. 😳

This time I would love to hear from all of you 😊

P.S: I will post a detailed note once this SS is actually complete ie after epilogues. 😳
