IPKKND FF:Tearing Ourselves Apart Parts 1-26 :) - Page 90

This is a superb ff...have sent u a buddy req...hope to see ur pm soon...

Just started reading, can't wait to read the other chapters!

Now this part is a tad bit tear jerking, I have warned you beforehand.

I was going to use "Almost lover" by A Fine Frenzy for my song in this update, but Garima used it in a (fabulous) OS she wrote so I didn't want to repeat it. I found another song that I think fits my take on the scene beautifully so I would insist you play it as you read along because it really sets the scene wonderfully.

Anyone wanting updates PM'ed to them, please BUDDY me. Here goes...

Anjali's mind was racing at a million miles per hour, she didn't know what had happened, but she had come in time to see what her husband had done to Khushi, she couldn't believe it, she wouldn't. But something had taken over her when she had walked up to him and stabbed him in the back like he had her.

This man was trying to steal her brothers happiness from him, who was he? This couldn't be the man she had married. Looking up at her brother clutching on to Khushi, she realised what had motivated her to do that, the heartbroken expression on Arnav's face spoke a thousand words to her. That image tore at her heart more than the man that was lying at her feet.

She was in pieces, she could feel one half of her wanting to collapse and scream, scream and cry until she disappeared, but the other half of her wanted to be there for her little brother.

She took one last look down at the man dying near her feet, the man that had taken her love and thrown it away like something so invaluable, she loathed the way she had worshipped him, before stepping over his bleeding body and rushing up to where her brother was.

Here is the song, it fits so perfectly with what I wrote (for me anyway) I insist you listen to it as you read, it is a beautiful song...

"No, no, no, this can't happen" he muttered, clutching onto her failing body as she let herself go in his arms.

He felt a horrible wail escape his throat from deep in his chest as he felt the warm pool of deep red blood against him, it was staining the snow beneath them. How was there so much blood? She was so tiny, she couldn't afford to lose this much.

"Khushi" he panicked "Khushi, stay with me please" he grabbed her cold hand with his, squeezing it tight as he saw the blood under her skin fade away, replaced by paleness.

"A..arnav..." she managed, shocked at what had just happened.

The sound of her dying voice brought a new wave of dread over him, he couldn't lose her.

"Di" he shouted "DI!!"

"Khushi ji!" Anjali said, dropping down to her knees beside her brother and sister in law.

"Di, Di please, do something, please save her, don't let her leave" he cried, looking up at his sister, warm tears making their way down his cheeks.

Anjali put her hand on Khushi's head "It's going to be okay Khushi, hold on for us okay?"

As much as she wanted to break down, she knew she had to be strong for her brother, she had never seen him like this, not even when their parents had died.

"Chote, Im going to go up to the stores just up there on the road and ask them to call the hospital to send an ambulance down, I know there is one close by because of the skiing area, hold on Chote, she is going to be okay" she kissed Khushi on the forehead, knowing that her words were just that, words. She knew they had not helped her brother, they both could see the deep cut stretching across Khushi's stomach and her blood pouring out onto the white snow beneath them.

She prayed as she ran up the hill through the snow.

Arnav pressed a hand to her cut, not knowing what else to do to stop the bleeding. It used to be his favourite colour; red. Now, he realised that it was the colour he despised the most in the world. It was the colour that was tearing her life away from her, taking her away from him.

She scrunched her features up in pain when he brought his hand down.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry Khushi, this is all my fault" he whispered against her.

"Shhh..." she weakly spoke "this isn't your fault, don't be silly."

Her words only raked him with guilt, he had treated her so badly and she still had it in her heart to give him peace when she was dying in his arms. He buried his head in her hair, kissing her wet and salty cheeks "You didn't have to come, you should have stayed with Di, why did you come Khushi?"

He could feel her lips curve into a small smile against his skin, and she slowly forced his head back up to look at her.

"You're Arnav Singh Raizada remember?" she weakly smiled "If anything happened to you, who would take care of the business?" she giggled lightly, stopping when the pain from the movement coursed through her body. Her brave front was nearing to an end, she wanted to cry, she was so scared that she was going to die, but seeing Arnav cry like how he was, scared her more than that.

Arnav choked a small smile through his tears, this girl would be the end of him. He felt it, deep in his core.

Regret.

Something he had gotten very used to since he had met Khushi, he regretted the decision he had made to block out his feelings for her, he regretted trying to hurt her so much when all he wanted was to hold her close, he regretted deciding to marry her in such haste, he regretted letting Shyam live, he had hoped things would be allright, but they were not. Nothing was allright, he should have killed him, right then and there, when he had first found out.

He regretted every decision he had made to lead him to a day where he was holding her in his arms as her life slowly left her.

She closed her eyes leading him to shake them back open "Khushi!"

She looked up at him annoyingly like he had just woken her up from a deep sleep.

"I'm tired" she insisted as her quivering lips tasted his falling tears "It hurts Arnav, I want it to go away."

"No, no Khushi I won't let you" he pleaded, looking down at his hand that was now fully covered in red "Please Khushi" he begged, hugging her close to him.

"A..arnav ji?" she whispered against him.

He held on to her cheek, wiping away her lone tear to let her know he was listening to everything she was saying.

"Can I ask something of you?"

Arnav shook his head in fear, no, he would not let her act like this was it, this wasn't the last time they would speak, he couldn't bear the thought of losing her forever. He kept on saying no as he started to shake from crying, all his bottled up anger from the years seeping away at the sight of her.

She could feel her heart breaking at the sight of him like this, she didn't want to end it this way.

Clutching back at his hands to let him know she was still there she whispered "Please Arnav? Please listen to me?" fighting through the pain she felt.

He looked back up still shaking his head as she continued.

"I want you to be happy, I want you to smile... do you even know how wonderful you look when you smile?" she said lightly, raising her fingers slowly to his cheek, wiping away his tears as fresh ones stained his skin red against her bloodied hands.

"No."

"I want you to know that I am going to be a star up in the sky, just like our parents, and I am going to watch over you."

"No, no Khushi, No."

"Arnav ji?"

"I love you Khushi, I love you so much, I love you more than my life, please just shhh and stay with me" he cried.

Khushi smiled at the words she had waited to hear for so long, but they did not come as a surprise as she had thought "I know" she replied, finding it difficult to keep breathing "I love you too, more than you will ever know."

"Khushi, please, just keep breathing, Di has gone to get help, just stay here, stay with me"

"Arnav?" she asked in despair, as she felt her lungs collapse from weakness. Her voice made Arnav shiver from dread, it felt as though it was the last time she would ever whisper his name.

"No, no Khushi, shhh"

"One last thing" she slowly said, forcing him to look at her by pushing him up lightly with her fingers against his cheek.

"Always remember me" she smiled at him, her breath hitching as his eyes froze in fear on hers.

"No..." he uttered, his breath stopping as he saw her arm give away, dropping her stained hand into the snow beside her, all the life taken away in the flow of molten rubies beneath her as her beautiful bronze eyes looked right through his soul, lifeless.
