" Arnav ji, how does it feel to be in love?" Just like every person and incident in her life was forgotten, so was this wonderful emotion.
Arnav glanced at her with pain in his eyes. A person who had drowned herself in true and selfless love, was asking how it felt to be in love? Through her love, she made him feel special, she made him realize how meaningless and empty life could be without this emotion. What could he tell her about love when she herself taught him how to love.
" have you ever been in love?" The words were out of her mouth before she knew.
" yeah." He replied softly.
" and then?"
" I lost her to my selfishness. I didn't value her love."
The way he said it, Khushi could see guilt , regret and ache in his eyes...and something more.
" do you still love her?"
Arnav let out an audible sigh. " I do. In fact now when I think about it, I feel in the past I loved her but at a very superficial level..it wasn't deep..it wasn't real." Khushi didn't know how to react. His answers had surprised her. One moment She felt a pang of jealousy, she didn't know why and the next moment she felt sorry for him.
" and now, what do you feel for her?"
Arnav smiled. " now I love her much more than before." He had never thought that one day he would admit this to Khushi. Life was so unpredictable!
Khushi forced a smile and lowered her gaze. " Lavanya must be very lucky."
