Complicated- Part 25
Khushi was surprised, "Aap … yeh ….."
Arnav was drenched and he was shievering from cold but the thing which worried her was the blood dripping from his forehead. He was standing with the support of two waiters
"M'am he just left the bar two hours ago and when I go out for some work I found him unconscious outside the hotel. I knew him because today I received you guys" The waiter told seeing her worried and Khushi once again looked at him who was unconscious but still mumbling something. She gave them the way to enter in
After they made him lay down on the bed the waiter asked her again, "M'am do you need any help?"
Khushi nodded and removing his night dress from closet she asked, "If you … don't mind can you change his dress?" The waiter took dress from her before exchanging glances with his fellow, she turned around, of course anyone could thought this way being a wife she can't change her husband's clothes, ridiculous she thought to herself
"It's done M'am" She turned again as the waiter said, "Do you need us to do the dressing to his wound?" He asked
"No, I'll do that Thank you so much for the help" Khushi tried to smile
"Our Pleasure M'am" They both left the room and Khushi closing the door first turned on the room heater and then came to him
She pulled quilt on him covering him fully and then she takes the cotton and start cleaning the wound not keeping her eyes off his face. Today she was feeling lighter as she let out all her frustration but then she never thought about Arnav's such reaction. She was sure that Arnav purposely hurt himself, maybe because of guilt, 'No' was the instant reply her mind gave
Arnav could never feel guilty for anything and here the matter is related to her whom he hated always. A lone tear escaped her eyes and as her face was near to his it fell on his cheeks. Soaking cotton with antiseptic she applied it to his forehead and even in his unconsciousness he hissed in pain. She quickly bent on him and blow on his forehead. Being so near to him she could feel his breath on her face and the unpleasant odor telling her that he was drunk. She straightened up and applied bandage.
"He never had drunk then why today?" Well she wants answers from him and that too soon
After she done, she was about to get up when she stopped feeling her duppata being stuck. She turned and was shocked to see her duppata in his hand. She immediately glanced at his face but his eyes were closed which means he was sleeping. She again sat there and tried to release her duppata but he was strongly gripping it. She helplessly looked at him now his sound was somehow audible but she can't understand what he was saying
Khushi bowed a little and now she could hear it clearly
"Nafrat ….. nahi …….. main ……. Khushi …… nahi ……. Main ……. Nafrat …… nahi ……. Nafrat …… nahi ……." His words were tough incoherent but she knew what he was trying to say. With a jerk she pulled her duppata and moved to the sofa, her face flustered
"Hum aap ko kabhi maaf nahi ker sakte …. Kabhi bhi nahi" She promised herself again not to forgive him, little she knew that it was her false promise to her which meant to be broken
**********************************
"Nahi, humain marna hoga kyun ke hamare marne se hi sub …………."
"Aap se shaadi kerna hamari sub se barhi ghalti thi"
"Sub sirf uss waqt theek hoga jub ya toh hum mar jaaien ge ya aap!"
"Aap humain marna chahte hain toh ……"
"Hum aap ki zindagi se chale jaaien ge toh sub khush rahein ge"
"3 saal pehle aap sahi the …. Humain yeh rishta khatam ker daina chahiye tha"
"Hum aap ki zindagi se chale jaaien ge"
"Humain yeh rishta khatam ker daina chahiye tha"
The voices were burdening his head again. His head was spinning and he tried to open his eyes but with a failed attempt he pushed his head to the sides frustrated when suddenly he calmed as he felt a hand on his forehead. He knew this touch, he was no more frustrated not being able to open his eyes. He just want to feel her
"Arnav Jee" For the second time he heard his name from her without 'Bhiya' attached to it and he felt good
"Aa …. Aap theek hain?" He heard her concerned voice and he once again tried to open his eyes, this time he succeeded
As he opened his eyes she quickly pulled her hands off him. He looked at her, she was looking away from him
Arnav got up and sat in the bed.
"Hum aap ke liye lemon juice le ke aate hain" She turned to go when she stopped feeling tug on her duppata, he turned back and saw him holding it, She looked at his face, he was looking down
"Kh ….. I ….. I ….. am ….. sor ….. sorry" He stammered
"Hum aap ke liye ….." Before she could say anything he pulled her making her sat down in front of him
"Nahi Khushi …. Tum mujhe maaf nahi ker sakti I can understand but please meri baat sun lo ... Kal tum ne itna kuch kaha aur meri koi baat nahi suni ….. give me a chance to explain please ….."
Khushi's eyes welled up, she sighed and let him speak
"Jub tum pehli baar Maa Papa ke saath ghar aayee toh mujhe bikul bhi acha nahi laga, mujhe laga tum ne meri jagah le li hai, Maa, Papa, Di sub ne tumhain attention daini start ker di aur mujhe sub bhoolte gaye, main ne iss cheez ko accept ker liya ….. accept ker liya ke tum hamari family ka hissa ho …… Phir jub Maa ko brain tumor hua aur unhon ne hamari shaadi ki baat ki ….. mujhe pehli baar yeh sub ghalat laga … tum choti thi …. Tumhain nahi pata tha ke kya hua aur phir Maa ne wada liya ke tumhaare 17 saal ke hone se pehle tumhain koi such na bataaye, uss waqt bhi mujhe yeh sub ghalat laga ….. tumhain sub pata hona chahiye tha …. Issi liye main baar baar Di se jhagarta ke tumhain such bata dain ….. Ghalti meri thi ….. Mujhe tumhain pehle hi sub bata daina chahiye tha …. Tum theek kehti ho …. Phir shayad tumhain itni takleef na hoti ….." He paused for a while and she was just listening to him as he was telling her some story
"Khushi tum ne kaha ke main ne yeh sub iss liye kia kyun ki main tum se nafrat kerta hoon …. Per main tum se nafrat nahi kerta"
"Per aap ne hamesha kaha hai ke aap humain pasand nahi kerte aur hum se naf ……" He didn't let her complete
"Nahi Khushi ….. main tum se nafrat nahi kerta …. Kabhi ker hi nahi sakta … chahoon bhi toh bhi nahi …… meri aur koi baat mano ya na mano bus yeh maan lo main tum se nafrat nahi kerta" Khushi looked up at him surprised , there was something in his tone which made her look up at him but he was still not looking at her. Now she was sure he was hiding something from her, what was that!
"Aap ne hamesha hamara di dukhaya hai" She said in between sobs and he this time looked at her. Because of him she has suffered so much
"Ab nahi karoon ga" He said wiping off her tears while she waved his hands off
"Aap hum pe trust nahi kerte issi liye …." He stopped her placing his hand on her mouth
"Sssh ….. Kabhi yeh mat kehna ke main ne tum pe trust nahi kia mujhe hamesha tum pe trust tha …… haan bus 3 saal pehle uss raat main ne tumhain ghalat samjha ….. aur meri zindagi se bus …. woh 5 ghante nikal jaaien Khushi ….." Khushi didn't understand what he was saying, it just passed over her head
"Aap kya keh rahe hain humain kuch samajh nahi aa raha" She admitted
"Kuch mat samjho …. Bus aaj issi moment se hum sub kuch phir se shuru kerte hain, joh main ne kia …. Joh tum ne kia, sub bhool ker ……." She didn't let him complete
"Hum ne kuch nahi kia joh kia woh aap ne kia tha" This made him smile
"Ok joh bhi main ne kia usse bhool jaate hain, aaj se iss moment se hum husband wife nahi hain" Her eyes widened as he said it
"Matlab …. Aap humain phir se divorce dain ge!" She asked innocently while Arnav couldn't help the smile
"Nahi, main aisa kuch nahi ker raha, main sirf yeh keh raha hoon that we can give a fresh start being friends to each other, what say" Khushi forgot to blink as her mouth formed a perfect O
Is it really the same Arnav or was she imagining all this. He was asking her to be friendly with each other, he was telling her that he never hated her and he trusts her.
Arnav on the other side was amused and enjoying her weird facial expressions, Waving his hands in front of her eyes he asked, "So what's decided? Friends?" He forward his hand expectantly
Khushi hesitantly brought her hand and placed it on his palm.
"Friends, but this doesn't mean ke hum ne aap ko maaf ker dia" She explained quickly as before he took the other meaning of it
"Main ne kaha na joh main ne kia uss ke liye tumhain mujhe kabhi maaf kerna bhi nahi chahiye per abhi ke liye hum friends hain ok" He said and she just nodded her head
"Ok now get ready fast aaj main tumhain tumhari sub favorite places pe le ke jaoon ga" She get surprised how did he knew about her favorite places here, so she asked
"Per aap ko kaise pata humari favorite places ka?"
"Stupid tum batao gi aur main le ke jaoon ga"
"Ohh" She got it but again remembering about his health she said, "Per aap ko toh ……"
"I am fine, mujhe kuch nahi hua hai" He said getting up from the bed
"See" He stood straight on thr floor and for the first time she smiled on anything he did
"Acha hum change ker ke aate hain" she moved to the closet to get the clothes
