Chapter 11 - Khushi goes away...

Raizada family went back. They were disappointed but thought Khushi was handling it all with a brave front and they let her continue work at office. They could guess maybe Khushi was awkward to face Arnav now and they all decided to give her space...

But Arnav was not convinced. His heart warned him something big was going to happen. He was really scared this time. He was so scared to lose her...

He decided not to waste any more time. He again went to Gupta House in the night at around 9 pm. By then Khushi had come home. In fact Mr. Mehta had personally dropped her as promised. Buaji forced her to have dinner and fed her.

Khushi was extremely tired, exhausted and upset. She was very upset with her Devi Mayya too. She would have handled it if it just her who was hurt but then again her family was put to shame because of her and that made her really upset.

Enough is enough! She will go away and all problems will be solved, she had made up her mind.

She saw Arnav walking in. She was not too surprised but he did not matter anymore. First time she did not feel her heart beat raise when he walked in.

Somewhere between his ignorance, his mocking, his taunts and his ill behavior towards her and now time and again her family facing the brunt, her heart and feeling for him died. It did not beat for him anymore!

"Khushi, I want to talk to you alone. Can I please?" Arnav requested.

"Why?" Khushi asked without any expressions.

"Can we talk in your room alone please? I will explain" He urged.

"Khushi bitiya, take him to your room and talk" Buaji pushed Khushi to her room.

"Khushi, I am so sorry for everything. For my behavior in the past, for misunderstanding about you having affair with Shyam, for my indecent marriage proposal and now for today's rumor spread by Shyam. I am really sorry for everything" Arnav was almost in tears.

"But why now?" Khushi again was confused. Wasn't it too late? Her heart chided inside...

"Believe me Khushi, this has nothing to do with today's incident. I had planned to come and apologize to you today after sending Shyam behind the bars yesterday night. It was late night, else I would have come yesterday only... But Shyam pulled his last trick to take revenge and came up with my engagement rumor and the same old video to malign you. I am so sorry for not able to protect you" Lone tear escaped from Arnav's eye.

"It's ok Arnavji. I forgive you" Khushi calmly replied.

"What?" Arnav was shocked, was an understatement. Did she just say, she forgave him for his mistakes, no sins? He looked at Khushi, she had no emotions or expressions in her eyes. This was not the Khushi, he knew. What had his reckless behavior done to her?

"Khushi talk to me, be mad at me, shout at me, call me Laad Governor and what not, but don't forgive me so easily" Arnav begged. He was scared now with her answers and no reaction.

"It's ok Arnavji. Before I leave India in couple of days, I wanted to forgive and forget the past. It is important for me before I start my new endeavor" Khushi informed him politely.

"Where are you going Khushi?" Arnav stood up and asked holding her hands.

"Paris. I took a job transfer. Mr. Mehta helped me with express visa process and paper work today..." with that Khushi started packing her stuff.

Arnav was shocked. She could not leave him and go. How can she go? His heart was aching now.

Why should she not? After all what you did to her, why should she stay and for what? He asked himself.

"Good night Arnavji" Khushi shunned him and he had no choice but to go out of her room dejected.

Buaji had heard Khushi informing Arnav about Paris. She called her brother and Garima but no one could convince Khushi to stay back.

Arnav went home but could not sleep. He went to his Di's room, she was still awake. Arnav kept his head in her lap and started crying like a child.

"What happened Chote? You are scaring me? Please tell me. I am sure we can handle this situation as well" Anjali was very nervous now looking at Arnav's condition.

"Di, she is leaving. She is leaving me forever and going. Stop her Di. I will die without her." Arnav sobbed more.

"Who is leaving and where?" Anjali was confused.

"Khushi is leaving to go to Paris in couple of days. She took a job transfer. I love her Di and will die without her" Arnav begged her.

Now Anjali understood what has happened. But how much ever she wanted to help, she knew Khushi will not stop unless Arnav stops her and expresses his love for her!

She had seen their noak jhok during Akash and Payal's marriage and had always prayed Devi Mayya to bring Arnav and Khushi together. Anjali knew Khushi was the best girl for Arnav...

But Khushi had tolerated too much for him and her brother never acknowledged her or her love. Khushi did not need anyone else. It was high time Arnav showed her his love, apologize and stop her. Give her the status and respect she deserves, Anjali thought.

"Chote, listen. Khushi will stop only if you stop her. You broke her heart, only you will have to fix it with your love and care. We all can help you but you will have to do it yourself. She needs only you and no one else" Anjali was firm.

"Khushi, please don't go" Arnav had reached airport to stop Khushi.

"But why?" Khushi still gave him one last chance. Her brain did not allow but her heart as usual took over.

"What do mean why? Your family is here, you have the same job here and Shyam is also gone behind the bars and will not trouble you. You can work with me if you want and I promise no one will talk or gossip about you" Arnav argued.

"Are you done Arnavji? I am getting late. Arnavji, one decision you took for your family, your Di. One decision I am taking for my family. Please let me go. It will be good for everyone, trust me. Take care. Work less and keep taking food and diabetes medicines on time. Convey my regard to Di and naniji and everyone at RM" with that Khushi waved, turned around and left towards immigration area.

Her tears would not stop even after the flight took off. It was hard for her to leave her family, her love behind and just go away. But with so many chances given again and again, Arnav could not or did not express his feelings for her... His other explanations on what, when, why and who did not really matter... She knew all those reasons anyways...

And it would be way tougher to stay back for no reason in front of the same person, especially when he did not reciprocate her love, she thought and convinced herself... Or maybe he never loved her, but just was having fun with her during Payal's pre marriage rituals and she took it seriously because she fell in love with him... All he did was dance with her which any friend or family member would do, helped her when in crisis, teased her a bit once or twice and gifted her bangles when he had broken her bangles... Yeah, he also looked angry when she was entertaining NK... And once he kissed her on her cheek, still she not sure he kissed her just to challenge her or it meant more... She could not still conclude somehow...

But it was all past now. She had left it all behind and was flying to a new destination to write a new destiny for herself...

Good chapter. Well written.

Awesome update & Happy New year.

Nice part

Happy New Year.

Even after so much, arnav couldn't express his feelings to her... anjali was right... only he could stop her and he failed miserably... kushi had done a good thing leaving him... Hope he will realise her worth at least now and go back to woo her...

Once a asr always a asr ... awesome story

why didn't he said that he loved her?

Fabulous update
