Hey guys, before you read the update let me just say this is probably the shortest update I've ever written. It just turned out that way and I think that's the way it was meant to be anyways. This chapter marks the end of phase 1 of this story. I hope you enjoy it :)

A Heart That Loves - Chapter 8

Arnav changed the setting on his phone so that his phone wouldn't get locked until another 20 minutes, which was the maximum time he could set it to.

Feeling lighter now, Khushi started moving back, out of his arms, when Arnav pulled her back with the hand that was already around her.

Placing the phone above him on the pillow, with the screen facing up, he put his now free hand on the back of Khushi's head, gently laying her head on his chest.

"Sleep," he told her tenderly. "I'm here," he stroked her head affectionately while keeping the other hand around her securely.

Khushi just couldn't get herself to say no to this. Just this one time,' she told herself while she gradually felt sleep take over her as she felt more than comfortable in the warmth of the man she loved...

And Arnav was no less... He had no idea why he was being this way with Khushi... But right now, he just wanted to live in the moment and enjoy it without questioning anything...

He also felt his eye lids get heavy while he reveled in the warmth of Khushi... His Khushi...

And soon, they both drifted off to sleep...

Sleep filled with sweet dreams and lots of happy endings...

**********************************************************

The next morning, Arnav woke up to a cold bed.

Instead of Khushi, he found a folded piece of paper on her side of the bed.

Having a bad feeling about it all, he unfolded the paper to find that it was a letter for him.

Dear ASR,

I just want to say thank you. Not just for yesterday but for everything that you've given me in this last year...

I'm sorry I had to leave this way, but when you said those cutting words two days ago, it really made me think. I have no idea why I even said yes to be in a loveless relationship with you. I am a girl with morals and I am an intense believer of love and marriage. So when you gave me the deal of being your real girlfriend without any love involved, my first instinct was to say a direct no to you. But there was something that stopped me from doing so... Maybe it was because even then, my heart recognised you where I didn't...

I've broken the one rule you ever gave me in this relationship ASR - you told me not to expect love or marriage from you. But I don't know when or where, but I fell or you. Yes ASR, I love you. And somewhere along the line I wanted you to reciprocate my feelings too, and when you showered your affection on me, my heart started to crave your love without even realising it.

But the day before Teej was a huge eye-opener for me ASR. I thought that I could love you enough for both of us, but I know now that I can't. Because it hurts too much. This heart of mine doesn't listen to me anymore and craves your love ASR, and I know that's something you can never give me. If I stayed with you any longer, my heart would break over and over again. And I honestly don't think I'm strong enough for that heartbreak.

I'm probably being a coward by running away, but I'm not strong enough for this anymore. I don't know how long I can be this close to you while not being close to you at all. It hurts so much ASR... It hurts so much...

By the time you get this letter, I will be gone.

Maybe this is the right thing for both of us... I won't have to go through so much pain, and you won't have to bear with my unwanted expectations. I can live a lifetime with the beautiful memories I have with you ASR. Every touch, every hug, every kiss... I'll cherish them for a lifetime. I'm sure you can find another girl to be your girlfriend in front of your family. Or maybe you'll finally find the girl meant to melt your heart... As much I wish that girl was me, I know I'm not.

But whatever happens, I will always love you ASR. And I hope you get all the happiness in the world wherever you are, whatever you do. May Devi Maiyya give you everything you ever wish for.

With love

Your Khushi

"No Khushi, you can't do this to me," Arnav whispered, tears running down his eyes as he clutched the letter in his hands as if his life depended on it.

She loved him? She loved him? Him of all people?

That explained why she had showered so much affection and attention on him in this one year...

But what had he done? He'd made her cry with his awful words and had pushed her away to the extent that she couldn't take it anymore...

Although it had only been about 2 sentences, they had brought her world crashing down, making her run away from the immense pain she suddenly started feeling within her...

And now, seeing this letter... Her leaving... His chest tightened, while his heart clenched, bringing him a pain that he'd only ever once encountered before this.

He didn't know why it mattered so much - why she mattered so much. He knew she was special, but to the extent that it felt like her sorrow was his own? To the extent that every second of her absence almost killed him? To the extent that it felt like he couldn't breathe without her?

Did he... l-love her?

No!' he shook off the thought immediately.

He didn't do love. Love made you weak and vulnerable. It only ruined people's lives, stripping them of their happiness.

But that didn't mean that he didn't feel something for Khushi... He most certainly did...

"She is mine," he growled to himself.

I won't let her go,' he decided, determinedly. You can't leave me that easily Khushi. I won't let you leave me like SHE did,' he thought.

With that thought circling in his head, he got up with determination.

Determination to bring Khushi back - correction: His Khushi back...

How was it guys? Did anyone actually expect this turn? What do you think of it? Do you think Arnav is going to have any success in bringing back Khushi, especially when he still hasn't realised that he loves her...? Please let me know your thoughts with your likes/comments.
