"I'm sorry Mr Raizada. I understand how difficult this must be for you." Arnav looked at the nurse, unable to process what she was saying. Her previous words clung to him and everything else she uttered was little more than a dull murmur. Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak.
"I-I want to see her." The nurse looked at him, concerned.
"Tell me to butt out if you wish, but I feel that you and your wife need to do this together." Arnav nodded numbly and made his way over to the Intensive Care Unit.
He heard her tears before he saw her and rushed to be by her side. She was sat in the middle of the bed, looking down just as she did on their wedding night. Arnav went to her side, ready to put his arms around her when he heard her warning voice.
"Don't. Touch. Me." She spat.
"Khushi, you never told me..." Arnav's pain was completely unjustified in her opinion.
"Told you? I never told you?! What did you expect when you told me to never come within a mile's radius of you again?"
"Khushi, this is different. You were-"
"Pregnant with your baby. Yes, I'm aware of that fact."
"And I didn't deserve to know?"
"How would you manage to love a child that reminded you so much of its mother? The mother you detest?" Arnav just shook his head.
"You know that's not true." Arnav took a step towards her.
"All I know is that my baby's dead. My only happiness has been taken from me!" Khushi yelled hysterically.
Arnav, unable to stop himself anymore, ran to her crouched form and enveloped her in his arms.
"Get away from me!" She screamed as she pushed him. "I hate you, leave me alone!" But Arnav still held onto her firmly, ignoring her protests, until Khushi lost her strength to fight. She succumbed into his arms and held onto him as tightly as she could, clinging on for dear life.
Tears are words the heart can't express. & Arnav cried many tears that night.
