Sacred Sin

Part 37

YOU WERE MY ENEMY BUT YET YOU WERE MY ONLY PROTECTOR.. She murmured as she broke into sobs.

Khushi Monologue:

The moment he told that bitter truth, my mind ceased to think and lost the capability to take any decision. I knew I was irrevocably and irreversibly in love with that man.

No law, no matter how big it maybe, no truth, no matter how bitter it may be, nothing was capable of altering that fact now.

I stood there shocked at the cruel fate that was written at the time I was born. I had every luxury one could ask for, but did I ever need that? No! Sadly it is all matter of destiny, not choice as to what we may get in our life.

I loved him. I loved him. And I could no longer deny the fact but the truth was that I loved my own enemy.

If I had never met you, I wouldn't have liked you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have loved you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.

He was asking me something, but at that moment nothing was making sense in my hazed mind.

You were my enemy. I heard myself saying those words. I couldn't deny the validity of that truth but on the other hand I also couldn't overlook the fact that he was indeed my savior.

I wanted to tell him. I wanted to yell these words, but then I felt him jerking me away and hiding me from something.

Yes my enemy was hiding me from something and was ready to sacrifice his life for me. He was ready to put himself in front of me in case of any danger.

But the thing I witnessed in front of my eyes was ample enough to deprive me out of my senses. I saw him aiming his gun at my dad.

I never knew the reality. It might be possible that my dad was at fault. May be he has done something terribly wrong that made Arnav go against him. But no matter how ugly his deeds were, I would never be able to bear something where life of a man who brought me into this world, would be taken by another man, whom I loved most in this world.

Few moments later, I felt his hand holding mine and his eyes begging me something. But I was caught in dilemma.

You were my enemy. I told him and he left my hand. He couldn't understand the implied meaning behind those words. He couldn't see the truth in my eyes. He couldn't realize the depth of my love. Or maybe, he did, but he couldn't tolerate to see me in the pain that situation was causing me.

I was being torn into two pieces, very slowly and very painfully. But he left me.

I know why he left me. Not because he believed that I considered him as my enemy, but because he loved me too much to put me into the pain, where I could be torn into two pieces.

I remember the incident that I had read in a book sometime back, but never understood the dilemma, that the person was put into that story because of love.

A child was brought into the court of King Solomon and the two women claimed to be his mother and none of them was ready to give up her claim on him. It was then King ordered his men to cut the child into two equal pieces and give one piece to each mother.

But the real mother gave up her share to save her child. Because she thought it was better to let him go rather than putting him in pain and letting him get torn between them. It was her undying love that let her make that sacrifice at that moment.

Similarly Arnav saved me at that moment and gave up his right. But that only proved that he loved me the most.

And I was brought back into reality when engine of car was roared back into the life.

It was then I completed my sentence.

YOU WERE MY ENEMY BUT YET YOU WERE MY ONLY PROTECTOR.

I wish I could tell him so. I wish I could let him know.

End of Monologue

Her father dragged her back into the Gupta mansion and literally pushed her into beeje's room. She fell on the floor and looked up to meet beeje's horrific eyes.

"Suraj!" She exclaimed looking at Khushi's condition.

"Beejee, Don't dare to ask me why I have brought her here like this. She has done the same mistake that your daughter made. And you know what punishment I gave for committing that sin." He thundered on beejee.

"But damn, I can't even kill her so easily. Time has changed now and these media people, they will spread the whole news in minutes and elections are nearing and I have announced her wedding also.

Get her ready. If you want her alive, then she has to get married and that too day after tomorrow.

"No, never," Khushi stood up with a determination filled voice.

"I won't marry him,"

Then do you want to marry that bodyguard? He spat in anger.

How could I marry him? Even that is not possible.She thought

"No, I don't want to marry him but I won't marry anyone else. She told with confidence that took Suraj by surprise. A girl, who never dared to raise her eyes in front of him, all her life, was raising her voice.

But he didn't know that Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak.

"Do you even know the consequences of your words?" He slapped her and beeje supported her to save her from falling.

"Suraj, she is only a child," beeje tried to defend her.

"She even doesn't know the meaning of her words." Beeje begged for pity

"Then be ready for your wedding." Suraj turned around but froze in his tracks when he heard her voice filled with fortitude, strength and courage.

"If I had to endure death and pain, I am more than willing to take it as a gift rather to live a life in luxury where I have everything but him."

Today she knew what she wanted and she knew that she has to stand for herself.

"You want to marry him, without my will?" Suraj turned around and grabbed her hair.

"I am torn between the two things. My love for him and my family and I can't choose anyone of them. I won't go against my love neither I would go against my family." She said resolutely without any fear.

"What do you mean?"

"I won't marry him but I won't marry another person either."

Suraj smiled bitterly.

"I want to kill you right now but I think since you are not afraid of the death, the best punishment for you would be to get married to another person and your condition would be a lesson for the girls of this family, not to fall in love." He left her hair and left the room.

Love is a sweet tyranny, because the lover endured his torments willingly
