ISKKNDFF. My One and Only The End:) - Page 16

"Did you hear that Ms. Gupta??" inquired Mrs. Chopra as she saw her unlocking the door of her apartment...totally confused she admitted, "..umm no!!...what is it???"...leaning against the door frame of her apartment, the elderly woman, started to explain the latest buzz in their area to the young lady standing accross her, carrying Aryan on her hip with one hand, while still searching for the correct key of the door..."...you know Shikha??...Mrs. Khanna ki beti??..."...observing her perplexed look, she provided a little more details before narrating the main content, "...arrey the one, who got married to one of the top business tycoons...that son of a b**ch kicked Shikha out of his life, he sent her a divorce..."...feeling bad for the poor girl, she verified, "...But didn't he take her back last month...I thought everything was fine between them...if he didn't want her in his life, then why the hell did he pretend to take her back???...this is insane..."...agreeing with Khushi, she narrated, "...I know dear!!!...I went to meet her today, but her condition was worse than the first time, she came back from that house...you won't believe, that moron pretended to take her back because he wanted to get their son...he wanted their only heir of the family...I tell you this rich people are pigs!!!..."...she felt as if Mrs. Chopra was talking about her son...clutching onto Aryan, she stood there like a statue...

Tucking in the end of her saree's pallu around her waist, she left Aryan on the shiny floor to play until she cleans up the dining table, as the mother-son just finished their lunch...getting annoyed by her open hair, she pulled them back to a loose lower bun...unknown to herself, making him desire for her...

Noticing the door prop-open, he quietly sneaked in to see his son playing with his toys...before Aryan could scream out of excitement, Arnav placed his index finger on his lips, gesturing him to keep it a secret...being smart enough, he giggled before turning back his attention towards his job...smiling at Aryan, he turned his attention to the mother of his son, leaning against the wall by the main door while crossing his strong arms against his chest, Arnav was staring at her...a perfect mother along with a perfect housewife...and a dedicated employee as well...feeling proud of her, his lips curved up to a soft smile when eyes became soften as he just stared at her with admiration...how he wished he could remove those locks of hair from her face as they were blocking his view of her beautiful sight...and his wish was granted by her, as her splendid feature had instantly made him crave for her...

As she was about to turn back to check upon the little man, Khushi almost startled at the presented figure in her living room..."...aap??!!..." she whispered...'how did he get in??' she thought before taking a journey to her memory-lane...after receiving the letter from the postman, she forgot to close the door properly behind her...cursing herself for being absent-minded at times...keeping her gaze down, she nervously removed the side locks of hair behind her ear as Mrs. Chopra's words started to echo in her mind...'wait...why am I thinking about such stupid stuff, we are not even married, so there is no way he can claim for my son...just kick that thought out of your mind Khusi' she pacified herself...unable to stand before his intense gaze, she initiated, "...When did you come??!!..."...coming out of his staring session, he replied, "...about five minutes..."...for some reason she did not want him to stay longer as she feels uneasy around him..."...Is there anything I can help you with??..." she gently asked...

'should I just say that??...how can I just blurt it out without any such preparation??...damn me!!!...I didn't even take Anjali's advice...muh uthake chala aaya...sh*t'...noticing his hesitation, she asked him again with confusion written all over her face, " umm...you wanted to say something?? "...taking up all the courage to hit it, "..yess!!...I...I wanted...to say something..."...feeling all nervous, he finally blurted out those words, "..I want to marry you..."

Oh My Goodness!!...so, that was the reason behind his coming back to my life...first marry me, then after taking my son away, he will leave me again with noone to live for...

Noticinig the change in her expression, he gathered all the courage to repeat it again "...I want to marry you Khushi...will y..."..."...Why???...why do you want to marry me???..." cutting in on him, she continued with a stern face "...is that because of my son???...then lemme tell you this...My son doesn't need a father's name to lead a life..."...interrupting her, he softly pointed out, "...but he needs father's love..."..."Oh really?!...since when you started giving lecture on 'LOVE'?" crossing both her arms against her chest, she sternly asked...before he could say something, she continued, "...anyway...forget it...I know why you came back to my life...you are here because, YOU want to take MY SON away from ME..." this time he felt anguish in her tone...shocked, hurt, confused, all at once, he softly asked, "...for heaven's sake he is my son too...and why would I want that??!!!..."...

" because he has got YOUR BLOOD..." screaming at him, she justified her meaningless accusation, "...you blo*dy rich people consider us as some trash...but when it comes to your so-called next generation concerns, then you remember your blood?!?!..."...throwing a disgusted look towards him she continued, " and you are aware of the fact that there isn't any sensitive girl, who would bother to give birth to a child of such player like you...BUT I didn't give birth to Aryan because of YOU...He was a part of me and will always remain as a part of me...there is no place for you in our lives...WE HATE YOU..."...that's it!!!! not getting any head or tail of her words, he totally lost his patience...slipping left hand into his pocket to hide the clenched fist, he gradually started to walk towards her while loosening his tie as he was feeling suffocated by her words...

Taking a step back she tried to verify, "...what the hell do you think you are doing???..."...noticing his serious look as he kept his move continuous, she alerted him before hitting her back on the wall, "...stay right there Arnav!!!...don't you even dare to cross your limit..."...before she could escape from the situation, he already captured her slender figure against his...firmly holding up her face in between his hands, he made her look into his eyes, "...what limit are you talking about??...huh!!!..." ...then making her look at their son, who was too busy giving a shower to the TV remote with his dribble, "...look at him..."...turning her face back to him, he continued, "..our son!!!...YES!! OUR SON...do you still think there is any limit or boundary exist between us???..." ...after stealing a glance of her trembling parted lips, he continued, "so!!!...you HATE me, eh?!?!...what the hell do you expect me to believe???...huh!!!...you think you can throw me any crap and I will buy that from you???!!!!...is that what you think sweetie???...then answer me, why did you give birth to him??..."...trying hard to get out of his grasp, she insisted, "...stop it Arnav...just leave me..."...not giving a damn to her words, he continued with his task, "...you hate the sight of me...huh!!... then why did you even bother to bring a person into this world, who resembles only me...who reminds you of ME!!!.....tell me about it, God-damn-it"

Still locking her in his cage, he clarified, "and what was that???...no girl would give birth to my child!!!! what do you think of me huh!!!..."...pushing himself more closer towards her when he felt her hands on his chest, as she was trying her best to get rid of his grip, he continued with his harsh tone "...If I want, there will be a line of infinite number of girls, who would love to give me a heir...but I will never do that..."...looking into her eyes with love, his heart confessed, "...you know why?!...because...I love you...I love you Khushi..." he almost cried out...unable to control his feelings, he sealed his confession with a passionate kiss...providing her proof for his confession, for his sincerity, for his honesty, for his true love...

Falling weak on her knees but was held up by his strong arms...she wanted to believe him...she wanted to believe him so badly...but her mind kept on warning her for the consequence of falling for it...He is lying...He is LYING...HE IS LYING...HE WILL LEAVE HER AGAIN...not responding to his action, she pushed him away with all her strength...

"...sick...you are sick..." disgusted by him, she yelled at him while wiping off the tear from her face...hurt by her, he demanded, " why are you doing this to yourself...I know you love me...then why Khushi??!!!"

"...Love and YOU??!!...oh!! wait...I appreciated your help that day and you think that had got my love for you???...nice try!!!...but lemme make it straight for you Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada , I DON'T love you...and nothing on this earth can make me get married to you...do you hear that??!!"...

Right now, all he wanted to do was to grab her and again seal those sizzling lips with his...but this time forever...give her a piece of his mind without any words...so that next time she would think thousand times before initiating such challenges...somehow controlling his passion-mixed-anger, he accepted with a smirk, "...ahhh!!...you love to challenge me...don't you hon?!?!...and I-ACCEPT...in fact, I accept with a time interval..."...pretending to be thinking, he declared, "...lets say seven days!!...seven days Khushi!!... you will be married to me by seven days!!!...and that's a promise to you..." as he slipped his both hands into the pockets while sharing a wink with his little buddy, who giggled at the gesture...rolling her eyes, she retorted back, "...think whatever you want to, I simply don't care...but I will never marry you...Never Ever!!!...Go!!...do whatever you want to do...but this time I..."...taking his chance to interrupt her, he reassured, "...this time, I will make sure you give up on your stubbornness..." saying that he leaned down to place a kiss on Aryan's forehead...then getting up to head towards the door, he turned back, "...by the way, if you want you can TRY to stop our wedding and for that, your time starts NOW!!.." finishing his words with a smirk, he left the place before blowing her a kiss...
