Please like and comment on the work.
Arnav was sitting in a meeting with his directors at Sydney
branch'mulling over khushi and cursing himself for thinking of her.
AR Group was planning to launch their new seasons line at Australia'.it
would earmark their success now in the country, but he wasn't concentrating. He
shut his eyes
Suddenly he heard the boardroom door open. heard a females
voice, the voice that he would recognise anywhere, the voice that was the
reason for the pricking pain in his current life. He opened his eyes, and
cursed himself. For past three days he had been thinking and now he even
started seeing her. He saw her lips move. She was saying something'.and then he
saw that his board members were looking at him'waiting for him to say
something'.he had gone delusional.
What was happening to him. His brain was clouded. He defogged
his brain and then was stunned. Khushi was here'.
Khushi was
fuming on her way to Australia. The long flight didn't do anything to her ever
rising temper. If anything she was simmering in rage. She went directly to the
meeting that Aman had told her Arnav was due to attend.
She walked
past the Assistant guarding the door like a watchdog' He kept saying maam..u
cant get into that room. Please mam'.listen
She was a
woman possessed and the words fell on deaf ears.,
She barged
into the room, her eyes searching for one face that would calm her mind. And there
it was the face she had been longing for . The face with eyes shut with defeat written on it. A normal being would see his
face as composed and business like, but to khushi that calm had an emotional
turmoil. She willed him to open his eyes and see her and as if he heard her, he
opened his eyes and looked straight at Khushi. but what gave a jolt to khushi was
the blank expression. The eyes willed
fire, passion, desire, the eyes that were soul to Arnav, the eyes that always
melted Khushi, were blank'her heart sank. But she had a task to do and she
would do it. With or without Arnav's help.
"Gentleman, I
have some urgent matter to discuss with the chairperson. Could you all be kind
enuf to vacate the room. The meeting stands postponed until further notice."
All this
while she could feel ASR's eyes on her. But he was like a statue'no movement. The
entire board as if in unison gave her a look as if she had lost her mind and
then again in unison turned their face to Arnav, waiting for his reaction. But nothing
from Arnav.
Khushi against
made the request to the board asking them to heed. Fear in her heart if Arnav
will turn her out. Praying to god, to please give her this one chance with him.
***
Arnav was
still in stance, he saw Khushi' s lips
moving again and simply nodded looking at Khushi.. Just then Arnav simply
nodded his head still looking at Khushi. Suddenly he saw his people leaving. He
looked at them, unable to understand what happened, why were people leaving. The
room was empty in flat 30 seconds apart from himself and Khushi. He stood up and looked at the entrant. The moment
the last person left the room, khushi turned and latched the door. She ensured
the door was bolted and the two were in their own haven. Arnav could see her
hands shivering. She put her forehead on the door, then suddenly life went out
of her and she sagged to the floor, crying bitterly. Arnav was unable to comprehend
what was happening. Khushi was here in Australia, in the conference room. Crying
there on the floor.
It tore Arnav's
heart seeing khushi in so much pain. He walked towards her, but then stayed
himself back
What stopped
him was not anger but a premonition that khushi needed this time. Something monumental
shifted in her. She was crying like a baby possessed, venting all her
frustration. He stayed back because he did not want khushi to get a chance to
hide again behind her words, which she perennially did whenever they spoke. Last
time also, when Arnav had spoken about his feeling, she hid behind words,
twisting his statement. He wasn't gonna give her any reason , none whatsoever,
to back out. She was here on her own accord and she will have to now come to
Arnav and tell her the purpose of her visit.
Arnav stood
there not knowing for how long, letting her cry'his heart bleeding at the lost
soul in front of him, but he had to. Suddenly khushi turned her face looking at
him. They had an eye lock. Both lost in each other's world, their eyes, which
was a gate to their inner most thoughts, their feeling, the pathway that
reached their heart, their soul.
What khushi
saw in them was happiness, pain, confusion,
hesitation and anger.
Happiness to
see her as a lost soul in front of him, pain coz of the lost love, Confusion
coz of his inability to understand what was to come next and hesitation,
whether he had the right to approach her or not, anger coz of her inability to
put her trust in him
And what Arnav
saw in them was relief. he simply could not fathom khushi. why was there relief
in her eye. What was khushi upto.
Suddenly khushi
got up and marched towards him. She stood right infront of him. Arnav was
giving her a watchful look, awaiting what was to come next.
But what came
was something that surprised the hell out of him. Khushi raised her hand and
connected her palm to his cheek with a slap that echoed in the conference room.
Arnav had his
eye still on khushi, not moving an inch, as if that slap did nothing. He simply
gave her a look that said Bring it on khushi kumara Gupta. Am right here, not
budging.
"DON'T YOU
EVER, EVER DO THIS TO ME ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA." Yelled Khushi, "next time it
won't be a slap, it will be a knife slitting that sexy neck of urs. WHO THE
HELL DO U THINK U ARE. AND HOW DARE U, HOW DARE U NOT TELL ME WHERE U WERE, HOW
DARE U ARNAV, HOW DARE U.
YOU WANTED TO
KNOW WHY I CAN'T PLACE MY TRUST IN YOU. WHY I CAN'T LET U COME CLOSE TO ME. WHY
I KEEP TURNING U AWAY, NOT WANTING UR PITY. WHY I AM SO INDEPENDENT, THAT'S COZ
AFTER 14 YEARS U AGAIN PROVED TO ME
ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA, THAT LOVING SOMEONE ONLY MAKES U VULNERABLE AND PRONE TO
HURT. THAT LOVING SOMEONE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FLOWERS. THERE ARE THORNS EMBEDDED
IN THEM AND WHEN THEY HURT THEY OOZE BLOOD OUT OF YOU."
PRECAP THE BIG CONFESSION UR WAY...
