Unspoken Love
Chapter 69
Arnav's POV
I reached home and did only one thing that was to prepare the bag they asked for. 3 millions is was they asked and that was nothing in front of my Khushi. I just want her save and sound. I just wanted this night to come to an end so that tomorrow my Khushi could be with me. the bag was readyand I was just waiting for their message but then my phone rang and it was Nani.
"Hello...
"Chotte...the doctors are taking Anjali in for a C-section. She told me.
"B-But...now? he asked.
"The doctor said that they can't keep the baby in...it's dangerous for both Anjali and her baby.
"Is she okay? I asked her in a feeble voice. I cant just have more in my life now.
"I don't know...please come fast. She said and I was already in my car on my way to the hospital. As I reached Nani and Shyam were furious pacing in the corridor.
"How is Di? I asked.
"She is inside.SHyam told me.
"When are these troubles going to end? Nani cried and sat on the chair.
"Everything is going to be fine Naniji...don't worry. Shyam tried to console her but I knew how worried he was for his wife and baby inside.
"Did the kidnappers called? she asked me and I shook my head.
"Nani...how is Di? Akash asked as he too entered. He was upset too and he had maintained a transparent wall between him and the family. He is mostly away from us and ever since that abortion happened we hadn't talked. He was avoiding me, and I knew it. Khushi's mummy and Payal too came to the hospital but the tension was so thick that no one was talking to anyone.
After 2 long hours the operation came to an end and finally heard a good news about our Di delivery a baby girl who was in the incubator. She almost a month early but she was safe. everyone met DI but I was way too hesitant but then she called me in.
"Congrats Di. I said.
"Thanks. She said.
"Did you met her? she asked and I shook my head.
"I will meet her once I bring her Mami back safely. I said and then there was long pause and she nodded.
"You know Lavanya came. the name made me look up at her.
"She came to see you...she went to home but no one was their so she came here. she informed and I nodded nervously.
"She didn't wanted you to go tomorrow. She said.
"It doesn't matter what she wants Di. I said nonchalantly.
"Why was she wearing the ring which I bought for Khushiji? her question blew all the air out of my lungs and I looked at her in disbelief.
"I would have believed she bought the same ring...but it was an exclusively designed single piece ring which I bought for my brother's bride. She added and I looked down in shame.
"You lost the ring, right? she asked and I inhaled sharply.
"Di... she interjected.
"Only the truth. She warned.
"I-I...I gave that ring to her. I admitted and she exhaled the air she was holding.
"I thought...DI trust me I wasn't thinking straight...I thought Khushi was behind me just for my money and LAvanya...we were together from long...she-she and I got together just for the world...for my reputation but then she started assuming she is...
"Enough Arnav...enough. She said and I was taken aback by the use 'Arnav' from her. she never called me that...I was always her chotte'.
"Di...?
"Did she knew about this? she asked me and I nodded gingerly unable to look at her.
"She saw us together. I admitted and there was a long pause.
"I did everything for you Di...for your health. I said as I tears rolled from my eyes.
"Then do one last thing... she said and I looked at her in hopes. I am ready to anything to earn forgiveness.
"For the world you are Khushiji's husband...and also the reason she is suffering so much. She said and I sinked deeper in my guilt.
"Tomorrow...when she comes back...you will leave her. she said and her word sliced my heart.
"Di...DI I love her. I cried.
"If you would have loved her...you would have given her the chance...you were asking her from where she gets the money...who is giving her the money? she asked me.
"She was doing part times...she was teaching tuitions to the kids and was paying her fees...she never used your money...never...she married you for love...not for some pieces of paper. Her words made me feel heavier.
Khushi was teaching tutions...
That's why she would come late...
That's how she earned the money...
"Promise me...promise me that you leave her... she said and I was too numb to react at this moment.
My Khuhsi...my khushi was a pure soul and I made her go through hell.
"Promise me Arnav... she said louder and I stood up. she kept saying something but that didn't reached my ears as I stood up to leave but then as I turned on my heels, I saw aunty and Nani standing on the door. The look on their faces was enough to tell that they knew the entire truth. I couldn't even face them. I was a disgrace. I walked further to leave but then aunty stopped me.
"Why...? she asked.
"Why my daughter...? she cried.
"We thought we gave her the perfect happiness, but then she didn't let us know even once the hell she was living with you. she continued.
"She is suffering because you...I want my daughter back. she said and tears flowed from my eyes. I left the room thinking nothing. I was too numb to react. I just want to beg in front of Khushi right now.
I don't even recall how I reach home...I was too busy in my thoughts. I sat down on the floor and everything came swirling to my mind...
How I insulted her...
How I blamed her...
How much I hated her...
But then a very feeble ring reached my ears and I snapped form my thoughts. The kidnappers are calling me for the address. As I was about to swipe it got disconnected, I tried to call back but of no use. But then my phone rang again and I instantly answered it..
"Hello.. I said in a rush tone but there was no sound.
"Hello... I repeated and again there was nothing. i checked my phone but the call was connected and then I heard a sob and I instantly knew who it was.
"Khushi... I whispered and the sob got louder.
"I know it's you. I cried. Never had I thought I would cry like this for my love.
"Are you okay? Did they do anything Khushi? I asked her but again there was no sound.
"Please say something. I requested as I cried harder.
"Don't come tomorrow. Came I soft, choked voice which bought relief to my soul.
"K-Khsuhi... I tried to smile but her words registered my mind.
"Tomorrow...you will give them any money. She said and I froze.
"Khushi...they won't leave you..
"I don't to be back with you anyways. She said and her words stung me deeply and I paused.
"I know. I added in pain.
"But Khushi that doesn't stop me from coming...Khushi those people are dangerous, they can harm you.
"I was dead for you...why do you even care. She said in choking in voice and i remembered my words.
"I...I...Khushi...
"It doesn't matter even if they kill me...you have already killed me by assassinating my character, my love, my happiness...and not just once...multiple times...I heard her sobs and I could feel her pain. I just ruined her. I wanted to give her happiness but I am the reason of those tears in her eyes.
"I..I am...I am really very...
"Don't...please...sorry would sound like another allegation from your mouth. she said and I cried. My heart was hurting and I realized the pain I gave her in these 8 months.
"I will come Khushi...just give me one chance to fulfill my duties as your husband. I cried.
"But I am not your wife.. she said in a soft painful voice and it reminded me the times I repeated she is not wife.
"Please...Khushi...don't do this to me. I begged.
"I would rather die than living a life saved by your money. She said and before I could say anything she hang up the phone. Her last sentence was like a final nail and it broke me down. I collapsed on the floor and cried harder. I just lost my love.
Khushi's pov
I said everything to hurt him intentionally. I want to hurt him so that he gets angry on me, with my attitude, with my rudeness so that in rage he wouldn't come but while uttering every word my heart was sinking deep. I never wanted hurt him, but it was needed, to keep him away, to keep him safe. i have barely few hours left and before dying I want to keep him safe but then he sounded adamant. I heard his voice cracking, and it felt as if he was crying, but the Arnav Singh Raizada I knew never cried. Maybe I was just overthinking.
"Why are you stopping him? that lady asked me.
"I don't...I don't want him to hurt himself because of me. I said.
"He loves you a lot. She said and I remained quite.
"I just hope he comes on the right to save you from these demons. She added.
"Thanks. I said returning her phone. She had kept my eyes tied so that incase of anyone enters she could save the situation. My one hand was tied and with other made the call. She typed his number for me and when he didn't answer my hoped came crashing down but then he did. I wont deny I felt happy listening his voce. Atleast one last time, before dying I got this chance of speaking to him. I didn't wanted to give any clarifications of my innocence, I just wanted to hear his voice and protect him. That;s what everyone does for their love.
To be continued.
