Chapter 56
ASR was fast running out of time
He had tried everything, every person, every hospital, every detective agency...but there was no news of Khushi. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air.
Time was running out
Arnav had hit the heights of desperation
He felt abondoned by everyone.
No one seemed to think he was worth foorgiving...
Including himself.
But he did not care about others. Not even his Di. He only wanted his Khushi to forgive him...
He was at his wits end
What if right at this moment she had delivered?
Tears welled in his eyes and for perhaps the 100th time in his life he buried his head in his hands.
He felt a soft touch on his shoulders and looked up in hope. But he knew it wasn't her...he knew his Khushi's touch. It was Lavanya
'Lavanya, please find Khushi for me, please,' ASR held her hand.
'ASR I wish I could help you...ummm...I am so sorry...so sorry,' she said and left abruptly.
ASR looked after her a little puzzled. Lavanya always listened and helped him out...what was wrong?
...'NK he is breaking down NK. I can't bear to see it,' Lavanya said
'So what? Let him. He needs to know how precious the thing he lost is,' NK said
'He already knows. Don't you think so? Look at his agony,' Lavanya said
'The agony is short lived. The moment he finds her, he will again hurt her,' NK said
'No NK. I am postivie he will not. You do not know ASR. He can be tough as nails, he can make mistakes, but he has a heart of gold,' she said defensively.
'You seemed to be in love with him still. You defend all his mistakes,' NK said angrily.
'And what if I do? I loved him once. Some part of me still cares for him. I know him well. As a friend is it wrong to feel sorry?' Lavanaya asked him.
NK did not answer but he felt an uncomfortable feeling when Lavanaya went on about ASR...
'It's all my fault,' Anjali cried, as Karan watched in silence. 'I came to your house the other day and Chote was upset with Khushi for not informing him. He hurt her. I feel I am the cause of all their problems,' she said.
''Stop blaming yourrself. Your brother is a grown man. He should know how to speak to his wife, who is expecting his child,' Karan said sternly.
'I know he is wrong. But he loves her madly,' Anjali defended.
'Love does not come with permits to hurt,' Karan said emphatically.
'Don't tell me you have never hurt your ex wife,' Anjali said and then regretted it.
'What if I have? I must have? But then I never claimed to love her,' he said, 'I do not believe in this emotion called love which only brings pain...and regret,' he said
'So don't believe in it. But my brother loves his wife,' Anjali said.
'Yeah I know he does,' Karan sighed. 'But then your brother blew it,' Karan said.
But when he saw Anjali about to cry again, he leaned forward and touuched her shoulder which silenced Anjali immediately,' But now let's help him find her. I will help him,' he said.
Anjali smiled her sweet smile at him and Karan felt somewhat fuzzy in his head...
Arnav had not slept or eaten much these days and he felt a dizziness about to hit him...Just as he was about to faint, his mobile rang.
He picked it up. 'Hello..' he said. Immediately he sensed it. That was Khushi...
'Khushi?' he whsipered. There was no answer. He strained to listen.
'Khushi ...Khushi ...is that you? Tell me it is you. Come back to me honey. I promise not to hurt you. I can't live without you..and I want to be with you when junior is born,' he pleaded.
Silence...but he heard a hiccup...a crying sound...and knew it was her.
Quicky he checked the number...it was local...
'khushi my love...please tell me where you are...I will come right now...please' he pleaded but the line went dead.
She still cared! His heart danced at that...he knew she did...but would she come back? And how would he find her when everyone had failed...
And then he had an idea...
