Teaser 39-
Aru laughed and cried at the same time and then wiping her tears, she smiled and said. "I don't know why I am telling you all these things Boss. Who would know Khushi better than you? You must already know about it."
" Who would know Khushi better than you? You must already know about it."
No! If only Aru knew, because he had never tried to understand Khushi. He was the last person who had ever tried to understand his wife. Because he the great Arnav Singh Raizada, the shrewd businessman had figured out all about Khushi by that one letter she had given to him as a 16 year old girl. He had passed his judgement at the time and then never budged from that.
"You must already know about it." Aru's words were like a slap on his face. A slap, because he did know about it, or most of it anyways, but he had never believed in that. He had never believed anything she had ever told him. He had called her names, insulted her with worst kind of words and accused her of lying to him. Suddenly he felt choked and suffocated and knew, he needed to get away and run away from this pain and shame he was feeling. But, how could he run away from himself.
Totally unaware that he was leaving Aru without even saying a goodbye, he got up with a jolt and walked away as Aru stared at him with puzzled expressions.
Outside the gazebo, away from the light, into the darkness, he walked, not even realizing that skies had opened once again and were pouring down with vengeance. But today, there was not enough water there to drown his sorrows, his pain and his regrets. Nothing could erase those accusatory cold words he had thrown towards her every time in fit of anger and mistrust. And today, there were not enough tears in his body to wash away all the pain he had given her and all the wrongs he had done towards her.
He must be the most vicious lover ever seen. Vicious and hateful. Lover who had hurt the only woman he had claimed to love as well. Sound of thunder and lightening swallowed his painful yell as he came crashing down on his knees on the muddy grass and cried out loudly looking towards the sky. Self-disgust consumed him knowing, he was no better than that worm Shyam. Shyam at least never claimed to love her but he was lowest of low kind of slithering snake who had tried to shame and destroy the woman he had vowed to love and honor always.
Unable to face himself he covered his face and cried for her. He cried for all the humiliating words he had said to her, all the pain and misery she must have gone through while bearing those insults. How hopeless and helpless she must have felt when he had cornered her with his demands.
But, no more, he decided with determination and knew at this moment that even if she ever finds in her kind and loving heart to forgive him, he would never be able to forgive himself. He would burn in this hell of repentance.
