Khushi stared at him, her eyes wide and stricken on her pale face. Bile started to rise in her throat as she as haze started to clear and all her illusions were shattered. There was nothing left to be broken anymore, as he had done that very effectively by breaking everything precious to her...her heart, her love, her hopes and her dreams. He had broken every single one of them and there he stood totally unaffected like a cold and calculative businessman, putting a price on all these broken goods. She had never felt so much cheapened in her life. Numbing herself to this pain, she detached herself and looked blankly at him and said in a very strange calm voice, " What are you planning to give me, Arnav? What has left in you?"
"So now she wanted to negotiate." He almost wanted to strangle her for cheapening herself like this, but instead he smiled coldly at her and decided to offer her everything that she was hoping or dreaming to get from him. So he indicated lavishly at the surroundings and said, " Well don't worry, you wouldn't lack anything. This apartment, car, cash, jewelry, vacations anywhere you want, you name it and you would get it. "
"Oh." His words, had more poison than the bite of thousands of snakes together, somehow holding herself upright, as she refused to collapse at his feet, she steeled herself for his answer, as she asked. "And what would you want from me...?
"Well." He looked at her with no emotions and said in a soft voice, "Why, I want all the exclusive rights on you ..my dear."
She returned his cold stare as her fists curled at her side. Her voice was shaky due to rage but yet strong as she said," Well I am sorry, Mr.Raizada your offer is not good enough." And then blinking furiously on the fresh batch of tears as they tried to break free, she gathered herself and decided to walk out on him.
Arnav stared at her enticing back in complete disbelief and felt furious at the level of her greed." He couldn't believe whatever he had offered was not enough for her." " Khushi." He bellowed in his commanding voice and walked dangerously as she sped faster towards the door. And before she could reach there, he had hauled her in his arms and said in a thundering voice laced with frustration, " Then why the hell, don't you tell me, what else you want from me? His both hands tightened on her arms as she went rigid on him with "do not touch me" sign emblazoned on her face. Gritting his teeth, he swore, " You better tell me Khushi, because you are not going anywhere. I won't let you. "
" Let go of me Arnav." Khushi's demand left him more frustrated and he gave her a little shake, before letting go of her, " What games are you playing now, Khushi. If you want to up your price then just name it, but I swear you won't leave here, till I let you. "
Khushi knew she had to get away from here, before he killed that ounce of love and respect she still had lurking stubbornly in her heart somewhere for him. She desperately wanted to hold onto those feelings, because they had been a part of her existence for so long. Without them, she doesn't know how she would ever survive.
He had mocked her earlier so she knew what would make him to let go of her. Softly she said, putting forth her demands. "In that case, I demand marriage from you Arnav. So here I upped my price, now fulfill it."
He immediately gave her a venomous annoyed look and lashed out " Why you little..." gritting his teeth, he said in a controlled furious voice, " You must be in your dreams, Khushi if you think, I would ask to marry me."
