Arshi FF: I love you, I trust you! (Thread 2) - Page 70

Priya sniffled, as she placed her clothes in the bag. She ignored the tears that were rolling down her cheeks. Tears didn't matter; all that mattered now was that she had to get out of Shantivan before anyone saw her. She didn't have the courage to face anyone, not even Anjali. Suddenly even the money didn't matter anymore. She just wanted to leave, run away .. run away.. from all that she had done.. run away from NK. Priya stopped and bit her lips; what had she done? She burst into tears; how could she? Arnav! She had known him since she was born. He had been there by her side when she had taken her first steps. They had shared their toys and even played house together. He had always been there to wipe her tears when she fell down and bruised her knee. .. and what had she done? She had destroyed his happiness. She burst into tears. She looked up a few seconds later and wiped her tears. "No, Priya. No tears! You did this for your parents. You will take the money and leave. You will never see Arnav, Anjali and.. and NK ever again". She told herself. NK! A tear rolled down her cheek. I will never give up on us, he had said. She wiped the tear and closed the bag. She stood up and picked up her other bag from the floor. She turned around and froze. Khushi stood at the door, her face fuming with anger. Khushi stepped into the room and walked towards Priya.

Priya dropped the bag, a tear rolled down her cheek. "Khushi I am sorry. Please, I didn't mean to.. but I... I had to... Please.. I.." Khushi slapped her across the face before Priya could finish her sentence. Priya touched her cheek and looked at Khushi, her eyes wide open. Khushi was still fuming, her hand curled into a fist. "How dare you? How dare you enter my room.. and.. how dare you drug my husband? I want you out.. out of this house ' NOW!" Khushi screamed. Priya moved closer and grabbed Khushi's hand. "Khushi, I deserved that. But please listen to me. I will leave this house now. I will get out of your life forever. But you .. you need to be careful. You are in danger' and it's not me. Khushi, believe me, please." Tears rolled down Priya's cheeks as she stammered. Khushi stared at Priya; her eyes, there was truth in her eyes. No, Khushi, what are you thinking? Khushi shook her head and pulled her hand away from Priya's. Priya looked at her, horrified. Khushi said through clenched teeth. "I don't want to hear anything. I said leave.. NOW".

"Khushiji? Priya?" Khushi looked at the door, her eyes wide open. Anjali stood at the door, looking at Priya and back at Khushi, confused, with a duffel bag in her hand. Khushi looked at Priya and gulped. Priya was staring at Anjali, angrily. Anjali walked in and stood next to them. "What happened?" She looked at Priya and touched her shoulder. "Priya, here. Here is what you wanted." Anjali gave her the duffel bag. Priya took it from Anjali, without looking at her. "Priya, your cheek.. " Priya touched it and looked at Khushi, who was looking away. "and the bags? Why are you crying? Are you leaving?" She turned to Khushi. "Khushiji, what is wrong?" Khushi closed her eyes and then opened them and turned to Anjali. "Di, Priya has to leave this house now". Priya bent down, picked up her bags and started walking to the door. Anjali touched her shoulder. "Priya, wait." Anjali turned to Khushi. "Khushiji, what is wrong? Why does Priya have to leave?" Khushi looked at Anjali and said through clenched teeth. "Di, I would rather not say." Anjali walked to Khushi and touched her arms. "Khushiji, you call me Di and you still don't treat me like a sister". Priya looked at Anjali, angrily. She walked to the door and stepped into the corridor, ignoring Anjali's pleas asking her to stop.

When Priya left the room, Anjali turned to Khushi and touched her arm. "Khushiji, what is it? What happened?" Khushi burst into tears and hugged Anjali. "Di, Priya has been trying to come in between Arnavji and me. Ever since she came here, she has been trying to get close to Arnavji. Today, she even entered our room and she.. she.." Anjali caressed her hair and said softly, "Khushiji, Priya would never.. it.. it must be a misunderstanding." Khushi pulled away and wiped her tears. "No Di. It wasn't. I saw them with my own two eyes. I saw her with Arnavji.. and.. I.." Khushi put her head in her hands and sobbed. Anjali smiled and said softly, "I know how you feel Khushiji. I know what it feels like when a woman tries to get close to your husband. I know how what it feels like to see her with your husband. But you are lucky, Khushiji, you could throw her out of the house and out of your life and you still have Chotte with you. I wasn't so lucky myself". Khushi looked up, horrified and saw Anjali walk away.

Khushi collapsed on the recliner and leaned against it. She remembered Anjali's words. I know what it feels like when a woman tries to get close to your husband. I know how what it feels like to see her with your husband. But you are lucky, Khushiji, you could throw her out of the house and out of your life and you still have Chotte with you. I wasn't so lucky myself. Khushi closed her eyes. I wasn't so lucky myself, Anjali had said. Did Di mean me? Does she still think I was.. chee.. Khushi opened her eyes, hearing Arnav's voice. She turned around to look at him. He was still sleeping. She burst into tears.

Khushi sat down at the dining table, next to Payal. Nani looked up and turned around. She turned back to look at Khushi. "Khushi bitiya, where is Chotte? Has he not gotten back from Agra yet?" Khushi smiled and said, "No Naniji, the meeting was cancelled. He was tired, so he went to sleep". She turned around as she heard NK, "Khushiji, where is Priya? She was home, wasn't she?" Khushi looked at Anjali, who was sitting across from her at the table, next to NK. "Yes, where did Priya go?" Nani asked Khushi. "She had to leave for Lucknow, Nani". Anjali said, looking at Khushi. Khushi gulped and stood up. "Khushi? What happened?" Payal touched her wrist and asked, concerned. Khushi looked at her, smiled and shook her head. "Nothing, Jiji. I don't feel hungry now. I will take some food upstairs and eat it with Arnavji." Payal smiled and nodded. She stood up and helped her stack up food on a plate. Khushi took the plate and walked to the stairs and up to her room.
