Arnav jolted back to the present. He stared at the door in front of him. As he slowly opened the door and saw the innocent girl whose life he destroyed, the girl he love, the girl whom he broke into pieces. He was oblivious to his surroundings, to his family members who were staring at him with concern in their eyes.
Slowly he walked ahead and stood next to her bed. Till now not a single tear fell from his eyes but as her face , a lone tear escaped from his left eye then from the right eye and now there was no stopping.
Khushi opened her eyes as she felt wetness on her neck. She saw arnav staring her and crying. Immense pain reflected in his eyes but she felt nothing.
Arnav saw her open her eyes . She stared at him with same blank eyes and at the moment he Died some more. He felt knife twist in his heart seeing her like this. He gathered her in his arms, his head in the crook of her neck and then he broke. Sobs wrecked through him. He cried, he wailed. He was trembling.
If the raizadas and guptas thought that they saw arnav breaking down then they were surely wrong. As they heard gut wrenching wails and sobs, they opened the door and what they shook them. Arnav who didn't shed a single tear when his parents died, when his chacha threw him and his sister on streets, is now sobbing uncontrollably holding his wife in his arms.
Anjali staggered back as if something hit her. N.K blocked the door when they tried to entre the room.
"Nk bhai get aside." Akash for the first time didn't know how to control his anger.
Nk shook his head."Not akash. Let him be. Let him pour out his heart. Its not our place to be. Di please trust me on this." He looked at akash"Akash please."
Akash clenched his fist in anger and turned back towards him.
