Chapter Twenty
As soon as it was morning Arnav changed his resolve. There was no way in hell that Arnav was going to let Khushi go from his life and not for such a silly reason as "can't and won't".
He thought everything through... Khushi is a samajhdar ladki... she'll understand
He went to the toilet, freshened up, wore a nice white T-shirt that he knows khushi loves and knocked her door
Khushi opened it in less than ten seconds... maybe she herself had been waiting for him to knock
"Hi"
"Hey" she replied back quietly
"Khushi" he took her hand and made her sit on the bed. He took a place beside her.
"I'm sorry... maybe I should not have lied to you... it was wrong!!
but you must understand!! haven't I always told you that I don't plan on marrying!!
I never ever planned to have a kid!! never!!
The reason is so deep inside me and so hurtful that I found it hard to word it... I couldn't bring myself to say... and I knew if I told you that I don't want to be a father you'd ask the reason and I couldn't explain to you... therefore I changed a harmless won't with a can't
all the dynamics are still the same... nothing has changed...
you agreed to being married to me when you knew I can't be a father so what is the change now"
"BUT..."
"sshh let me finish!!!
Khushi did I or did I not tell you I'll never become a father... "
"you lie..."
"In yes or no... did I tell you??"
"yes"
"did I give you an option out? Did I tell you khushi that marry me khushi only when you are sure you can do without bearing children in this life?? Did I repeatedly tell you think it through... you'll never become a mother??Did I?"
"yes"
"then how can you now want to change the only condition I gave in this marriage khushi?? you yourself agreed!!"
"NO!! YOU..."
"yes probably I lied a little... I confess...
so I'll tell you the actual reason why I don't want to become a father...
I was the apple of my father's eyes... he used to wake up and see me first and go to sleep only after looking at me... he was my hero... I loved him more than anyone in my life
He made sure I got the best education, the best clothes, the best toys, the best of everything
But I hate him!!
you know why?? because he treated my mother like crap... like a maid... he treated Di like she was a burden because she was not a son and also limp...
I realized this gradually and started hating him more and more
I want to avenge my mother for being treated worse than a slave...
Do you know he actually slapped her once in front of me...
I wanna avenge my sister for the way she was treated...
he wanted a son so he could proudly show everyone, to bear his blood ahead
I won't let that happen
his khandan dies with me
that is what he wished for all his life and that is what he'll never get
Now do you understand why I can't have a kid khushi"
He put a hand on her cheek... please understand... I simply can't
"Did you ever Arnav think about your mother... about Di?? Won't they get hurt by your decision??"
"Don't you ever tell Di!!!"
"I'm sorry Arnav but this is not enough reason for me!!! I can't continue this marriage knowing you are withholding the thing that is most precious to a girl"
Now Arav became angry
"kabse tumhe samjha raha hun... tumhe koyi baat samaj nehi ati kya... I will never ever father a child"
"AND I WANT A CHILD"
"so what does this mean??"
"it means I want a divorce!! I want another chance at my life"
"what do you mean by you want another chance at life!! you want to marry again?"
Khushi remained silent for a moment and replied "yes!!"
"Fine!!! since we just got married it is not possible for us to get a divorce before one year!! you live at your parents house and when one year will be over I'll divorce you!!.. soch lena ghar jake sab ko kya batana hain"
saying this he got up abruptly and left the room banging the door loudly behind him
leaving a shattered Khushi
...
Khushi doesn't actually want to get married... it was a laughable thought
nor does she want a divorce
she just those things because she thought Arnav will definitely come to his senses when he realizes khushi will leave him otherwise
but that is just wishful thinking...Arnav doesn't care two hoots about khushi... what he cares about only is his pride
Up till now Khushi was living in a dream... seems like someone threw ice cold water over her
She doesn't matter to him!!
She was someone whom he couldn't resist making out with... they got caught... even then he didn't want to marry her... only when her family caught them in the middle of the night did he want to get married to her... and which guy won't want to have sex with a more than eager wife!!
Therefore her threat didn't make any affect on her
On the other hand she doesn't even know when she'd given her heart away to him...
Arnav Singh Raizada just proved how much he cares about his wife..
...
Arnav came to the hotel from outside to see his room empty of khushi's stuff... he went into a mode of panic... did she leave for India without even telling him??
Just then he noticed a note on the bed
"I've moved all my stuff into the other room. I've booked a single ticket for me ... plane leaves tomorrow... I'll go to India and tell everyone you'll be late because got tied up in a meeting"
Crushing the note in his palms he fumed and seethed
"how dare she!!!"
he had thought she'd be waiting for him if not sorry for saying she'll marry someone else
and here she's moving even more far from him
Without even thinking anything he went to her door and banged so hard that his fist became red!!
"OPEN THE f**kING DOOR THIS INSTANCE"
...
Since a lot of you think I rushed the last few updates this time I'm trying to go slow 😊
