FF Arshi-Were We Ever Meant To Be??Part11 pg 2

Nani- khushi bitiya.. Yeh sab kya and she hugged her tight along wth mami and Akash and payal.. We all knw now and dnt wrry even Anjali will realize soon but u have to give her time..and with that Naniji said- chottey take her to ur room she needs to rest and tomm we will talk the rest..

They all needed sleep.. To try to cope up wth this storm that had occurred today as they knew Shantivan wud never be the same..

Akash hugged payal.. As thy entered their room knowing tht thy wud have to be strong for their siblings who had sacrificed so much for them..

Arnav took khushi to the room.. She was soo pale.. Still in shock over what had transpired.. He wanted to shower all his love on her.. Had she really gone all the distance to save him..? Yes she had and she had succeeded it was alws him...for her.. Thn why hadn't he seen it earlier?

They both freshened up.. As he got out he saw her sitting by the poolside looking at the stars gazing..

Arnav sat next to her- khushi.. I'm sorry.. Meri wajah se..

Khushi- arnavji Hume bass ek Baat jaani hai? Ki aapne Shyam ji ko mayka diya use raat apni Baat kehne ka..toh Hume kyun nai..toh shayad yeh sab aaj na Hota.. Kya aap sachets mien hums itni naf..

Arnav hushhed her- and hugged her nai khushi pls tum aisle mat samjho..

Arnavji arnavji she sobbed.. It hurts so so much.. I knw u stood by me today and thx for that .. But arnavji it hurts so much.. I try to be so strong but in the past few days I rlly dnt have any strength anymore arnavji.. It ws him who asked them to burn u.. Him u took me away in the cAr and tied me in the middle of the road.. I wanted to tell everyone but I cudnt thinking of Di arnavji shel b hurting so much.. Is it rlly all my fault arnavji u Thot that before.. Sab sock rahe hinge ki hamari rajah se yeh sab.. Par arnavji thts y I tried to hide it all.. But maybe my silence put u in danger the only one I.. She stopped herself frm saying wht she ws gng to.. Arnavji he's vry dangerous and thts y I had to do ths fr everyone it cudnt have waited arnavji if he cud put ur life in danger almost kill me he cud do it to Di too rite?? Arnavji arnavji I hope u understand.. Iv done all I can all I ever cud for u and te family but in the end I knw it's gng to be only me on the oddr side.. Alone like alws..kash Amma bauji hamare.. Sob sob and she cudnt stoppp crying.. The feeling of having him safe now the helplessness of the situation.. All of it ws cming out

Arnav hugged her while he let her outburst.. She needed it.. His wife had beard too much.. Shh shh khushi bass ab mat ro.. Main aagaya Hun na..il make it fine..khushi I Wana talk to u.. But BFr that khushi said..

Arnavji- can I sleep in ur arms tonight arnavji.. Just once.. Please..

Arnav picked her up and took her to be she ws hugging him like a delicate delicate doll his baby who needed his shield.. But he had given her anything but that .. Yes ofcrse baby.. Shh sleep now.. Well talk tomm

As he saw her sleep.. He ddnt knw he ws he gng to make ths right Di, khushi, everyone..but he had too.. It's time khushi got all she deserves..and slept away..

As khushi slept in her arms she took in comfort of his arms knowing tht ths wud be it frm tomm it wud just be sleepless nights and loneliness and only his memories to live by..for she ws broken she ddnt have the zeal anymore to fight to stand by..yes she loved him but ths time even the love wsnt enough to bring bk her shattered soul.. She just wanted to be alone to rediscover herself the part which had died somewhere along ths path.. Her mission ws complete.. Her love was safe.. And now she needed to do ths.. For herself..

She had felt arnavji get up in the middle, he was in so much pain..she went behind him.. He was sitting outside dis room she went and sat beside him.. He held her hand seeking comfort..

Nani walked up to enter anjalis room, she ws awake and crying but the minute she had a glimpse of khushi she flinched.. Nani knew ths ws the toughest time but this had to be done.. Rite now Anjali needed them more.. Khushi ws strong shed pull thru she alws did.. And so she walked out and said the words she hated to but did say- khushi bitiya aap se much Kenna tha.. Her chottey and khushi both looked up.. Hume mast kerdena khushi par aap bitiya pls Anjali se Kuch time tak door raheiyega kyunki woh jita aapko dekhegi uta hi her wounds will be fresh..

Pain seared through khushi as she heard the words which she herself had realized earlier her decision now firmer-ji Naniji aap Chinta na kariye..

Arnav cudnt bear the pain as he heard those words, nani had said..he was about to answer but khushis reply shut him..

She got up and walked back, to their room..she was soo broken but whom cud she show it too..yes she loved him but wt good was her prescense here..wsnt she the reason ths all ws happening..no she wsnt blaming herself.. But wt ws ths helpless situation she ws in.. All the time..she just wanted to give love to everyone her family her arnAvji but rite now all she wanted to was get away.. She needed it badly.. Mayb in a day or two she wud gather the courage to make her heart und that ths ws wt ws needed to be done..

Arnav walked up behind his love unaware of her thoughts..

He whispered- khushi woh nani... To his suprise..she turned around and gave him a small smile.. Wait she ws hiding something behind it wht ws it he cudnt read-

Khushi- arnavji aap idhar aaiye chaliye so jaiiye, u need to take care of urself so tht u can TC of Di..' and urself once I leave.. She Thot

She tucked him in and he made her lie next to himself and hugged her.. He wanted to say so much but he cudnt find the words to.. He alws fell short of words but khushi wud und his silence rite she alws did.. But he ddnt realize tht ths ws the time those words were needed coz his wife's heart ws a tender one and she indeed ws also human he much cud her heart take? It ws too late.. Her heart ws broken in so many ways pain, loss, regret, she ddnt know which piece to pick up..

The next day, as he heard her frantic scream all over for him he ws shit scared.. Arnavji she spoke hysterically.. Di Di room main nai hai.. Pata nai kahan chali gayi and tht very minute everyone went hysterical looking for her..

Everyone had gone in diff directions- khushi had a feeling smthng ws wrong she had used the caller I'd to find out where all phone calls had been made.. She ws horrified as she discovered tht Di had gone to hospital.. In a rush she reached there..she tried calling arnavji his fone ws busy.. He mus be trying to gt hold on Di.. Ok let me take her back home frst.. She walked to the docs room and heard her say- I dnt want this child doc.. Di she yelled.. Wht u saying no no doc ..

Anjali- khushiji aap pls leave me alone..

Khushi- aapko devimaiya ki kasam Di.. Hamare swath aaiye

Anjali followed her out and khushi made her sit and she spoke-

Khushi- Di I knw u dnt Wana see my face.. I'm sorry tht u had to face ths all .. But it's all true Di.. Pls I knw u will believe me one day but aap is bache ko kyun punish kar rahe hai.. Iski kya galti hai..Di.. Aap pls ghar chaliye hum aapke samne nai aayenge paka.. But don't punish ur baby Di.. Plss

Anjali, with coldness, who cud blame her, her world had just fallen apart- ok khushiji i dnt knw ki yeh sab kya but haan till the time I handle I wud like to not see u around..I und ur point I will not hurt my child.. But pls if u can leave me and my family alone for a while.. Coz I dnt knw who to blv and I dnt want my brother to be hurt..and also I cud do with nt seeing u..and with those words she walked out..unknowingly killing the only thng tht ws left in khushi, her beleief in herself..

Khushi followed her, hiding her pain.. Her soul ws already dead wt is thr more to loose- Di il do as u say.. Ab ghar chalein..

Arnav saw her missed calls and rang bak- khushi we all r bk home ddnt find Di I ws about to call police..

Khushi- no arnavji iv found Di wer coming bak , she had gone for her routine. Checkup arnavji.. We r on r way bak dont wrry..

As everyone settled Di.. Khushi deceided in her mind wht she needed to do.. Ironically today the six months were over too..she c**t tell him anything.. Or he wunt let her...but she had to do ths..she never wanted to see him torn ths way between Di and her..aftrall wsnt ths all done for her in the frst place..But where wud she go? Il figure it out and yes she wudnt leave without letting her heart out.. Shed leave him a letter.. Coz she ddnt know if her heart had the guts to do ths face to face wth her love..

Arnav frantically searched for Khushi after listening to mamiji- Why did you go meet di? Nani told you not to are u mad khushi????

Khushi- I know arnavji..but..i just went to make her eat..i also feel guilty that this all is happening coz of me..

Arnav, as anger took its toll- Yes, Its all because of you he yelled. I wish I wud have never ever met you Khushi, di wud have been happy shyam wudnt have done this if u weren't there, YOU are The Biggest Mistake of my Life Khushi and with that he rushed out.

Khushi couldn't believe what he had just said.This was it,she thought.The contract was over too and with these words of arnavji she ddnt want to stay back even for a day.She cried her heart out and then calmness took over her empty heart, as she went to sleep.She had thought of writing a letter before she left, but what was left now to say.

Arnav realized what he did was terrible and rushed back to find her asleep and thought ill apologize in the morning for being so rude.Khushi will understand I ddnt mean it it was just the anger.

He woke up and ddnt find khushi and when asked hp he said shed left for Mandir.Rest the whole day went by and everyone was busy pacifying Anjali .. Arnav wanted to be wth khushi but she ddnt come in front of Anjali- mayb coz nani had told her not to.. Everyone ate dinner.. She ddnt come down too..hp said he'd given her dinner upstairs..he so badly wanted to apologize but she hadn't come in front of him since morning and his di needed him by her side constantly, and so he decided ill speak to her once in the room.

Hp ddnt want to lie but khushiji had made him promise.. Yes he ws their servant but he had observed a lot- khushiji ws anangel for ths house arnavji but he knw life ws unfair to her.. And so whn khushiji while leaving had asked him to keep it a secret until tomm he had agreed- knowing tht ths family needed to realize wt thy r loosing ironically I can see her pain but thy cant..

It had been three months since khushi had come to London..with aadi.. He was the best person shed ever met.. Any girl wud die for him for he was just a prince of every girls dream! He was her saviour her bestfriend.. the oberoi's loved her a lot his mom doted on her and so did the rest of the family.. She worked wth them but on great request she had finally got herself a small studio appartment to live in instead of thr oberoi's penthouse!! Days wud pass by in work..usually in the evenings she wud hand out wth aadi his friends and family.. It was in the nights only tht those memories wud come by to haunt her.. Of him.. She ws trying to move on but he was so much in her.. Tht it ws difficult as he'll.. But she did try a lot thinking he ddnt come for me.. To him I mite as well be dead..!!On the weekend she wud visit the oberoi's and thts how life had been since the past few months!!

She had a feeling tht aadi had this soft corner for her.. She ws more to him she knew his actions his care everything reflected that..his whole family knew.. But aadi being the gentleman he was respected the fact khushi ddnt need ths at ths time her past ws too twisted and she had to get over it first...all of a sudden her chain of thoughts was broken by her phone- she smiled as she picked up..

Khushi- yes aadi, wasup?

Aadi- hey my khush, r u ready I'm picking u up in ten and then we r heading to have some waffles and u have to help me shop!

khushi- yup aadi I'm ready! See u

Aadi- can't wait

This woman had captured his heart..as aadi waited for her to come down frm her apartment he cudnt help but wander back to how much his life had changed in the past few months since he'd met khushi! She was the most innocent, beautiful, caring, dedicated person he'd ever met.. And yet shed had so much to endure.. Only if he knew who the man was..she wudnt tell him the name..and tell him let past be past aadi please..he haunted her still aadi knew thr wer so many times he'd see her in office trying to focus but her dark circles wud betray her that she hadn't slept andr night yet again.. And so aadi tried his best to make her smile alws.. He genuinely loved her.: his family knew that they wud tease him in her absence.. But he knew deep down tht ths feeling ws one sided as khushi needed time a lot of time indeed to ever see him that way..

Khushi walked up to aadi, she ws wearing a simple knee length red colour dress and her overcoat and boots and a cute hat over hair.. She's such a baby my khush aadi Thot as he hugged her-

Aadi- hey khush.. U r such a doll

Khushi- aadii chill, let's go and yes Bhabhi is apparently wth Bhai too at Oxford street shopping I told her wel meet her there..

Aadi- khush wt ya , I wanted u to make me shop not that I wanted to go wth Bhai so tht u cud go o. Ur girl trip wth Bhabhi

Khushi- Acha Acha apna drama baad mein Karna chalo ab!

Arnav was too shocked but as he saw her fall he jerked to save her but aadi bet him to it and he saw his love fall into the arms of andr.. Just the way he wud catch her evrytime she had fallen in the past.. And he felt as if his heart had been churned into a million peices..

Khush- aadi had yelled and got next to her and saved her from the fall..He patted her face.. Omg khush pls pls wake up! Bhabhi get water.. Dammit she dsnt take cre..she never listens to me.. I'm taking her to my room.. Bhai call the doc.. Khush he said as he sprinkled water.. This isn't good for her Bhai wt if.. No no..he picked her up in his arms.. Khush ul be fine..and He rushed out..

As the scene unfolded in front of them, both the raizada brothers were in shock.. Arnav Unable to move as he saw aadi carrying his love out into his room..

Nikhil spoke- I'm sorry guys just that he's to possessive over her.. Actualy it's a long story.. He'd found her in india.. Shed been in an accident :. A terrible one.. He'd saved her .. She ws in coma for a while and once she regained consciousness he got her here..

Akash wanted to gt as much info as possible cz his bro ws in no situation to ask, too many emotions playing on his face- here? Her family?

Nikhil explained - well her story's too sad.. Shes a orphan grew up wth her foster parents.. But apparently she fell in love with a beast- ya thts wht aadi told us- she ws used fr a deal in some sort of contract marriage of six months- who does that to a girl as pure as her? Anyway she says in was all a misunderstanding but apparently when it all got sorted she had to face nonsense from his family.. Dude I never understood how can ppl do ths? And thts why shed left cos she c**t take things..and thts whn the accident had happened..and aadi had found her..

Diya cries evrytime as she remembers aadi telling us when she woke up and he asked her about her family aftr two weeks of coma- and shed just asked - has no one come for me yet?

Aadi clarified that mayb they ddnt knw thts y.. But tht ws enough to shatter her completely!

Just imagine u guys, aftr everything thy ddnt even look for her.. Aadi hates them .. She wudnt tell us who they are.. Bcz she dsnt want any bad on their name? Imagine this girl.. Maa says she's never met anyone so pure and nice.. Aadi fell for her it's hard not to love her.. Wonder why those ppl harmed and broke her so! She's been having a tough time moving on.. Aadi says her contractual husbands memory still haunts her but he's adamant to make her forget the past and shower her wth love..

Arnav, as it all sunk in- oh I see...

She felt thy ddnt come for her? He ddnt? no wonder she ddnt gt in touch wht she must be feeling lying thr all alone..Pain flinched Arnav all over..

Diya rushed in- Niks the docs here..come let's go

They all walked in to aadis room, Arnav and Akash silently joint nikhil, Arnav just wanted her to be fine as of now.. Rest cud wait all cud wait..

She was tucked in and aadi sat by her side with worry all over his face as doc chkd her..

Doc- she's fine aadi.. Relax just stressed mayb make her eat, and take care this happens in patients who ha e experienced coma

Aadi- ya doc she faints very often, last week whn i ws dropping her bak aftr dinner she ws dizzy and just yesterday shed fainted in office ..

Doc- ok ok I'm giving her some meds make sure she has thm

Aadi- yes yes sure

The doc left.. The raizada brothers were concerned too why aadi wondered it seemed thy wer both having some conversation of their own silently..qnywya he ddnt have time to care.. Khushi ws important

Finally she gained consciousness-

Aadi helped her sit up- khush,.. Hw r u? U scared me..

Khush - im fine aadi wher r the rest? She enquirer? Wanting to k w abt arnavji whthr she had hallucinated or he ws actually there..

Aadi- thy r having dinner downstairs. Bhais friends are here.. Come let's go h need to eat too!

Khushi was hungry so she agreed-

Aadi helped her walk out and when she stumbled he picked her -

Thy heard voices as thy ate dinner

Khushi- aadi put me down I can walk

Aadi- shh just shut up khush

He walked over to the table.. Sorry everyone .. But I'm nt risking her faint again as he made her sit on a chair and sat beside her

Khushi cud feel his eyes on her the whole time and even o. Aadi as he served her and they ate.. Their eyes had locked a few times and shed moved thm away as she ddnt want memories to burn back..

Arnav had seen so much fr a day tht the jealousy he felt had no bounds.. Like from wht he had gathered this aadi ws very close go khushi.. He loved her and wanted her.. He cud deal with that but what his heart wanted to know was wht dd khushi want? Had she really forgotten him? Gotten over him??

As they all departed aadi went to drop khushi home.. Arnav had found out tht she stays in a apptment nearby.. He'd go to see her aftr aadi left..

Arnav- Akash extend ourstay I'm not going back without her

Akash smiled, at the determination in his voice- ofcourse Bhai it's time we took khushiji back home!

Arnav waited for aadi to leave as he saw him at khushis door..

Aadi- khush r u sure ul be fine?

Khushi- yes, trust me I just need to sleep...and can I pls take an off tomm aadi

Aadi- yes my doll u can, and he tucked her hair behind, and cupped her fa e.. U scared me so much.. Evrytime u faint it just reminds me.. Omg even the Thot and he hugged her.. And khushi alws felt comfortable in his embrace hugged him-

Khushi- shh it's ok aadi I'm fine

Aadi- I knw ths isn't the right time but u do know what u mean to me right khushi? I don't say cz I knw ur still gtng over him.. U really are the most precious for me.. Take care..ok.. I ..

Khushi- patted his face caringly aftrall she did love him too as a friend tho- I know aadi I know everything u dnt say it I respect it as I knw u respect my feelings.. Thx for being there alws aadi when no one else has! And the minute she said those words she realized how true they were:. This man had made a place in her heart ..he loved her unconditionally never asking anything in return..let her have her time..but was this love?? She ddnt know..

Aadi- khush u dnt have to answer ths but pls just let me say ths today.. He cupped her face and looked into her eyes.. I love u so so so much khush.. U know I do..and he kissed her foreheAd and turned away.

Arnav watched ths display of affection and deceided aftr thanking this man for saving khushi he'd beat him black and brown .. In fury..His guts ths mans guts.. And why ws khushi being soo nice and vulnerable to him.. Shocked reeled thru him as he saw khushi hold aadis hand back and say- I know u do aadi... She kissed his cheek.. Call me once u reach home.. So tht I know ur safe..

Aadi smiled and walked off!!

This was too much to take in for Arnav .. Hed just found her but he died thinking had he lost her already to aadi..??

He walked up and knocked her door..

Khushi heard the knock and thinking it ws aadi again just rushed to open the door.. She ws in her cute pink buster tank top and pajamas..

Khushi- aadi ur back as she opened..

She was shocked to see him..

Arnav surprised to see her in tht skimpy top and pajamas and she ws opening the door in it to aadi?- hi khushi... It's me.. I Thot il chk how are u feeling now! And just out of curiosity is ths how u just open the door to any1 now?

Khushi- well thts none of it business mr raizada and just for ur info not to any1 I Thot it ws aadi any1 wud be you..

He flinched at that..

Khushi- he's hurt good he shud know how much he's hurt me..- well ud like to come in? I'm not like u who likes to throw ppl out frm the door..

Arnav walked in and she shut the door- as he sat on the sofa he observed her studio.. Yes it ws her.. Her appearance and way of dressing up may have changed but this was her..she ws in the kitchen and thn she walked upto him wth a mug

Khushi- here is ur black coffee and tell me why are u here..

Arnav smiled- so u remember ..

Khush- answer me why r u here? Aftr all these months.. Too bad for u I ddnt die

Arnav jerked up and pinned her against the wall- u seriously Thot I ddnt look for u?are u mad? I went mad.. I only got to knw frm the doc at hos aftr around 40 days of ur accident.. I hunted every damm aaditya oberoi in the country to find u.. I just ddnt knw ud be here khushi.. I ddnt knw where to look.: how cud u think.. I ws dying everyday..

Khushi was happy and releived, so he had looked for her, but her brain signalled so what? Don't fall for him again as she mustered- oh thx well tht clears the mu, please leave me arnavji ur hurting me

Arnav-say it again pls..

Khushi- what?

Arnav- my name pls.. Iv been dying to hear it..

Khushi controlling her heart- arnavji pls leave me

Arnav- khushi well I knw uv moved on here and I can't thnk the oberoi's enuf fr helping u but I need u to come back.. I know tht aadi loves u wants u.. But u r my wife..

Khushi- correct urself mr raizada I ws ur wife..our contracts over..I am no more ur wife, too scared to trust him again

Arnav- no kkg, il make u mrs Arnav Singh raizada forever..u belong to me..

Khushi- oh yes ur alws exercising ur right on me.. And wht about me my feelings:.

Arnav held his cool and said- ok fine u Wana figure out ur feelings? Fine im staying here.. But u knw I'm not gona gie up soon I know aadi is in love wth u and u know it but do u know what ?

Khushi- what, she whispered as he came so close to her tht she cud feel his breath on her lips

Arnav- he's seeking what is wth me and wht he can't ever have, ur heart.. It's wth me just like mine is wth u:.

Ul realize it khushi.. That we are meant to be no matter what..I promise..

And wth those words he kissed her wth a smack on her lips taking her by surprise-

Khushi pushing him away- arnavji wht she whispered

Arnav smirked- thts sealing my promise with a kiss khushi.. And he walked out leaving a shocked khushi behind..
