I hope you like this one.. sorry about the length, I didn't have time to write too much, I should go and work now 😊

(Also the intro to this is reminiscent of the intro to Chapter 5 Link)

Two weeks. It is funny how your life can change in the shortest amount of time. It took two weeks for everything to change. Two weeks is nothing. Nothing more than a collection of what seem like passing moments, but they leave an impact, far greater than you can imagine at the time.

How did this happen to me, she thought. Out of more than 7 billion people in the world, how did this happen to me? My life was so uncomfortable, like it didn't belong to me, cutting and frail, now it was different, wonderful, and strangely familiar. It was like she was living her own dream, but somehow, it was all still too distant. Like she was watching it from far away.

She was back full circle again, like she had been to hell and back. But where was the happiness? That horrible void deep in her chest was present, ever longing and painful. What was missing?

She knew what it was, she knew what she wanted, what she needed.

It was him.

He was missing, and it felt as though her lungs collapsed with every breath she took without him.

Her legs felt oddly numb, whether it was from the cold or from the painkillers, she could not tell.

But she continued to walk, holding on tightly to Anjali's light purple sweater that had been left in her room for her, face buried in the stripy light pink scarf, shielding her lips from the freezing cold as she dragged her feet and fragile form clad in a hospital gown through the snow.

"Khushi!" he called softly into the room, what if they hadn't brought her in yet, he frantically throught.

Looking back around him through the corridors to find them empty he stepped inside the room. The bed sheets were ruffled, they had been slept in. He searched the room for hints, where could she have possibly gone in such a state, she was injured so badly.

Thoughts of Khushi with blood running down her length rattled his brain and he rushed out of the door hoping that she was okay.

He ran to Shyams room to find him still lying as before in his bed, eyes closed this time, sleeping. He made his way back to Khushi's room and called her name out again. Retracing his steps he checked along both ends of the corridor to find a door on the right creaked slightly open, allowing a cold breeze to run along the length of the halls.

He froze when he saw little dents in the snow, filling up fast with a fresh layer showering down from the grey morning sky. He followed them, calling out her name as he ran.

Khushi groaned as the pain began to set in, she could almost feel the effect of the painkiller melting away, replaced by an awful striking pain hitting her chest from between her midriff. She took in several sharp breaths, holding on to her chest as her knees gave way. She felt like she needed the pain to distract her mind from the thought of him.

She had waited all night, from the moment her eyes had opened, searching the room for any trace of him. She remembered hearing his voice and holding on to dear life for him, but he wasn't there when she had woken up, he wasn't there when she had waited, all through the dark night, with nothing to accompany her but the flashing machines and needles piercing her skin.

On the first sight of light she had ripped them out and run as far as she could.

It was no use, he wasn't there, he wasn't anywhere.

She buried her face in her hands and began to sob, crying out loudly and holding her chest to help with the pain.

He was gone.

She didn't think she could handle how much she wanted to see him, so she let the tears fall down her face, choking in for air when she felt the need, she wanted to touch his warm skin and ruffle her hands through his soft hair like she had done before.

"I held on for you.." she paused "and you left" she accused, looking down at the snow, stained red now from the droplets of blood seeping their way past the tears from her stitches.

Arnav saw her huddled up on the floor, face buried in her hands, her voice masked by the wailing wind. The frozen lake beyond her stretched far into the horizon towards the slowly rising sun.

He ran up to her, as fast as his feet would allow, only stopping a few feet away when he could finally make out the sound of her crying.

"Khushi?" he breathed.

She froze, face still buried in her hands and took a moment to recollect her breath. Slowly looking up to meet his concerned eyes, she was shocked to find them almost in tears.

He awkwardly looked around him, he thought he would sit next to her for a while and recompose himself when she was asleep, this was too sudden.

"I..uh.. I had a ..uh.. a poppy for you" he managed through his rapidly beating heart. He thought it would pop out of his chest at any moment.

She looked at him as the tears on her cheeks dried quickly with the sharp wind.

"I hate poppies" she smiled, as she felt the happiness swell from under her chest, filling up the empty void in under a moment as she stood up on her weak knees and closed the gap between them in a few shaky steps, responding to his concern by wrapping her arms around him and snuggling in close to his neck, the warm beating of his pulse sending a shiver of warmth through her. He was alive, safe, and with her.

He kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her tiny form as she continued to shiver.

"Khushi?" he quietly whispered, never having been so glad before.

"Did you mean it?" she breathed hotly in to the skin of his neck.

For once in his life Arnav knew what she was talking about.

"I meant it" he whispered into her soft hair.

She pulled away from him, far enough to be able to look into his eyes, and watched as he flushed a deep red.

"That's my job" she whispered touching his cheek briefly and smiling as she hoisted herself up by holding on to his shoulders and pressing her cold lips against his warm ones.

Arnavs eyes flew open from the shock of her touch and he stared at her closed eyes as she held on to his lips.

He smiled against her, feeling her cold nose press against his, holding on to her tightly as she ravaged through his senses. He found it amazing how one touch from her could make him forget everything, even where he was, and who.

She pulled back after a while as he reluctantly let go, feeling embarrassed at her sudden move, blushing an even deeper shade of red than he had.

He smiled at her innocence "I guess it is your job" he teased. Holding on to her cheeks he leaned in towards her so that his lips were brushing against her ear.

"I love you, I love you, I love you" he whispered slowly against the wind.

Two weeks, Khushi thought, it had taken two weeks to change her life forever. But the moment that had made everything change had been a singularity. A single fleeting moment which Khushi thought she could not forget in all her life, even if she tried her best to.

This was that moment.

So that is it for now everyone! I am really sorry it is so short, I just couldn't resist writing and I wanted to post it straight away !

So what a turbulent week on the show eh? Fridays episode made me smile, finally Shyams truth is out and the final scene between Arnav and Khushi was magic. It reminded me of the scene I wrote for Shyam first appearing in front of Khushi in my fanfic..

(Chapter 4) Link

Here is an extract from there (I have deleted many parts to only show the similar bits)

The teacup, tea, plate and jalebi's she had been holding all came crashing down to the ground as Khushi's hands lost focus. No, this could not be happening ...

Khushi stood transfixed, for only a second too long.

She rummaged around in the sticky hot mess of Jalebis and tea, grabbing at any piece of ceramic she could find as she mumbled something incoherent under her breath. She did not know how to react, or what to do with herself.

He looked back to where Khushi was kneeling. She had a cluster of broken pieces in her hands and she was still reaching out for more, only to drop a few of what she was holding and start all over again.

Arnav placed his hand over Khushi's arm which she had clutched close to her stomach. The rattling of glass pieces in her hands stopped suddenly as his hand controlled her shaking.

"Leave it"

"I just, I don't know why, I didn't mean to drop them, I just..I just" she could feel her voice starting to break so she stopped talking. She didn't want him to think she was afraid of Shyam, even if she was. She got up with the few pieces she was still holding and walked towards the kitchen where she dumped it all in the bin.

Arnav sighed, as he picked up what Khushi had left and headed after her.

I guess I am getting good at predicting scenes between them ^_^

Lol, I'm joking, I guess it was just a bit similar so I wanted to remind you all too.

Please do leave likes and comments 😊 I PM almost 300 people, and only get about half as many likes and even fewer comments 😔 Please do appreciate my work if you enjoyed it 😃

Love Hayles x

That was BRILLANT. I have no words for it. got goosebumps in my body right now and it made me sweat too. That's how hot and intense the scene was.
