Arnav has measured d length of his many times from morning walking briskly from one corner of d room to another.
He is perplexed, eyes not slept from last 2 days, heart every bit of milliseconds longing to c her, ears wanted to hear her, mind seems not talking to him, evry bit of time is passing like yrs, arms wanted to embrace her n soul longing to meet her soul. Wat is happening to ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA, he asked himself. From d moment he felt she is his life his soul not at peace.
But no, I'll not loose, I will not say. From last 2 days she hasn't come to RM after she is discharged from hospital. He take out his mobile...fingers rapidly running of her telephone no. but b4 it press call button, he stopped. Y sud I dial? Can't she call? He called her yesterday night n she said she is ok. Dat's it. She can't talk more. She disconnected d phone...damn. I won't call her now. If she don't want to talk den y sud I. N mobile again finds its place - his pocket.
Scene shifted to GH. She was awake, checking again n again repeatedly her phone connection. D connection seemed to b working fine. Den y he hasn't call? Oh devi maiyaa y am I gettinv dis acidity n dhak dhak again. D moment she heard her voice on phone her dhak dhak was so loud dat she cudn't utter a word except HUM THEEK HAI. She quickly disconnected d phone but she tries harder to sleep yesterday. Jiji was sleeping but her eyes struggling whole night to shut down, her dhak dhak is taking no name to halt. Haye...Devi maiyaa unki awaz sun ke ye haal hai, unse milenge to kya hoga.
Nxt day evry member of GH was invited to RM. Occassion khushi recovery. A bunch of blind n dumb ppl has given chance to these two gadhas to finally face eachother.
Gust of wind again blows d moment she stepped in RM. Both felt each other's existence. Arnav almost ran towards his room door to get a glance of her. She entered wid eyes searching him evrywhere, finally two eyes meet, conversation conveyed - ahhh I find peace.
Breaking eye - lock was always done by khushi. Her dhak dhak running like a jumbo jet. It was so rapid dat she kept her hand to stop it but all in vain. Arnav can't take his eyes off her. His eyes were moving in d direction of its favourite object, but he had to come to his senses n he locked himself again in his room. He decided not to go unless n until she will come up n call him.
Khushi decided not to face him as she will not b able to control herself now. But their heart ached for just one more time.
Finally d verdict came "khushiji plz call chotte, only u can bring him to dis family gathering" anjali demanded. (luv u anji, only u can do dis)
Khushi "na...nahi anjaliji, if he wants to come, he'll come by himself" den murmured to herself "waise bhi he has seen me n closed d door, huh, LG, cudn't think I am meeting him after 3 days, dekhne bhi nahi aa sakte. Bade aaye LG" suddenly a rightful tone breaks her monologue "khushi, go, u need to do wat dey say. Dey r ladkewala" mother whispered in her ears.
Unwillingly khushi stood up, her heart pounding fast, took baby steps towards his room, hands fiddling wid her duppatta edge n droplets of water started making their presense felt on her forehead. Hey Devi maiya...help. She knocked d door. He opened d door n rabba mere in bg, eye - lock . He turns n took few steps allowing her to get in. She was standing right bhind his back "aaa...aa how r u?" N gulped as if asked d wrong question. Her legs r trembling, can't stand in front of d aura of this man. He turned, eyez met, took steps towards her, she backwards, eyes still on each other. He was standing vry close pinning her into wall, "wat u said, how am I. I didn't knew I am answerable to u khushi kumari gupta". His anger for yestrrday's disconnection for phone came out.
Khushi gulped ufff not so close plz devi maiyaa. "na...nahi, I asked just like dat"
He banged his fist on wall n got hurt "just like dat? Huh...just like dat?"
She tried to touch his hand but he resisted. "u ...u r hurt"
He replied again wid same tone in voice " so wat if I am hurt...how does it matter u"
Khushi "y r u so angry? Wat I hv done?..."
He yelled "u don't know wat u hv done...u don't know..." N turns n walks swiftly to poolside.
Khushi followed him, found him standing in fury facing pool.
Khushi "i hv come here to ask u ..."
He grabbed her by his shoulders (ohhh! So manly, I always love dat), "khushi...wen...u'll understand...dat I...I"
Khushi looked lovingly at him. First time it felt dat she was w8in for dis moment. Her heart wins finally on her mind. Wid tears in her eyes she looked at him, w8in to hear d unspoken words. She has seen d love floating in his eyes, his voice which is breaking, his fury n d love bhind dat. She lost her mind n let her gestures ruled by her heart. She raised her right hand n cupped his cheek. Fire suddenly calmed down. He raised his hand to take her hand out from his cheek but don't know wat happened he placed his hand on hers. Both hving tears rolled down from eyes, both understood d unspoken words n both find d true meaning of their silence.
Arnav tries to control but cudn't. He said wat he wanted to say. Her hand on him wid so much love made him weak. His heart took control. "khushi...I...I...". Arnav suddendly grabbed her in his arms "ab nahi bas ab nahi hota bardastt...I...I LOVE U". She w8ted to hear dis each n evry moment. The words r like d last words of her life as if she is alive to hear these words. She instantly reacted by herself wrapping her arms around him more tightly n finally solace achieved in each others arms by hugging each other.
(my repeated telecast finally at last. Even I find my piece of solace now)
