PART 18 B

One week of rest had indeed brought a considerable change after his mothers demise. He used to miss her presence while sleeping in her room drifting his thoughts to what she had evoked with in him. A sense of new belief, refreshing energy a different attitude towards life. Though the missing part of his life in the form of his mother was provided by Anjum as who is no less than his mother in showing affection he did miss a biggest part of his life.. He felt that she had gone off his hand. He curtailed the thoughts of giving up still the path to his salvation invoking a small confidence in him.

Lively moments with the elders at home who gave him a feeling of too many people to pamper upon; he bid farewell to all of them making a promise that he would visit them once in a month. Slowly getting out of the abode of peace he was returnign back to his real world back to square one. It felt like a journey from real to the dream and then back to the real.. He moved along with Avinash and Anjum towards his car but turned back for a moment to watch out the place..His mother was waving hands from the window promising to be with him all along his life when he had to face the ups and downs she would remain as an unerasable part of him.A little excitement curving his lips into a smile but the next moment the anticipating disappointment that might hit him blocked this smile. He sighed and turned back to Avinash who was sitting with Anjum at the back seat with a happy face of getting back their new chotte.

Anjali hugged him posessively as soon as she spot him inside her house. She had been wallowing under the horror of losing her chotte till she had been communicated about his stay in ashram by Avinash. She had pleaded him to make a visit which was denied thoroughly by Avinash and Anjum to give him some time to come out the sudden bizarre of events happening in life. The grief of losing his mother again but this time permanently after enlightening him with love and compassion, the pain of guilt which pricks him hard on hurting the one whom he had been mad in love with, the joy of accepting his family as his own washing away all the ill thoughts of posessiveness which was clouding him all these years.

Arnav smiled looking at the curious eyes of Anjali in tears. She was searching the hint or even a trace of her old arrogant chotte who doesnt bother to reciprocate her hug before. Now he had shown his depth of affection with his hug which Anjali could perceive distinguishing this changed man. Can these weeks of isolation from his world change him totally?

Arnav: Di.. Do I look like an alien? The way you are scanning my eyes scares me.. He stated with a sarcastic tone earning a chuckle and a hit on the chest from his di..

Anjali : wah.. you started cracking jokes too chotte? Anjali remarked as Arnav raised a questioning eyebrow..

Arnav : I have done before too.. may be it might have gone out off your notice or the impression on me might have distracted that characteristics from everyone.. he replied with a mild pain in his words that did affect the others in the room. Anjali just distracted him away from the past.

Anjali : May be.. but its fairly perceptible now having known the fact that my chotte bears the most precious smile while he cracks jokes. She whispered into his ears to ease out the hard feeling forming within him.

Avinash : Anju.. wont you let us settle in the couch atleast? Avinash mocked at his daughter who was overwhelmed to meet her brother after such difficult times.

Anjali made a face and all of them moved towards the couch while Akash entered giving a surprisingly shocked look at Arnav. He rushed to embrace his little brother and looked at his face.. Arnav gave him a warm smile spreading the message that he is fine.

Sheetal stared at the brothers union with a blank expression. She didnt wait to make any opinion or a fake endearing welcome to him.She moved to her room trying to get her daughter along when she saw Anu moving happily towards Arnav clutching his pants.

Arnav couldnt wait to admire the little pie welcoming him after having missed for a long time. Though he doesnt show off his love towards children Anu always felt a deep attachment when she was with him. He took her in arms kissing her bubbly cheeks, making his family gasp in surprise at the moment.

Arnav went and sat beside Avinash and Anjali with Anu in his arms. Anjali talked to him about his mother and shared his grief. She motivated him to keep up his reformed attitude that would lead his life henceforth. Suddenly like a lightning little Adi got himself behind the couch snaking arms around his neck clinging on to wrestle on him. Arnav jolted on the sudden attack somehow balancing Anu on his lap who was laughing at her cousin hitting her chachu.

Ouch.. that hurts buddy..Arnav tried to talk in between the wrestle while handing over Anu to Anjali. He swiflty picked Adi in one arm and started to tickle placing him on his lap.. Adi's giggles brought back the smiles across the whole family..

Arnav : uff.. how strong you are? Why were you wrestling with me Junior? Arnav tried him to settle down enquired him..

Adi : Dont talk to me ASR.. you left me without saying a word.. Where is Happy? She is not coming to visit me after you left? Where did you take her? Adi posed his questions in one shot shooking Arnav when asked about Khushi..

Arnav gave it a thought to answer the kids questions.. He was struggling within himself to contradict the emotions in him. The kid suspecting about snatching his happy hurt him unconsciously.

Anjali : Adi.. go and play.. Mamu is tired. He will play with you later. Anjali cut short Adis questioning glares to Arnav.

Adi : No.. I want to meet Happy.. ASR has hid her somewhere because he is jealous that Happy talks and plays to me only. I dont want to talk to him. Adi snapped back.

Jealousy ? The word struck in Arnavs heart. His jealousy had hurt her many times yet she was hard like a rock in her resolve. He closed his eyes in shame fisting his arms. Immediately the anger susbsided within his thought. He opened his eyes to seee Anjali scolding Adi to get along with Anu to play.

Arnav : Hey Junior.. listen.. you go and play.. we will find a solution for this soon. Arnav gestured a hi5 to Adi cheering him up of getting back his happy though the possibility was so narrow as he thought.

He excused himself after letting go off Adi from his lap making his stride towards his room. The family understood his control over himself that had resulted eventually felt happy that he is capable of giving himself the assurance to return back from his torment.

Arnav opened the door of his room felt like returning back to his den after a long time. He hadnt associated himself with any materialistic assets but surprisingly this room gave him a sense of nostalgia..This room had seen the good moments with his Khushi as well as the grave intense moment with her which he still tries to delete from his memories. Is it so easy to delete with such an accusation? He closed the door and moved towards his french door opening the curtains letting in the bright sunlight into his heavily darked room. He felt odd seeing his own choice of shabby curtains and dark environment. He remembered how she used to bug him.

ASR please listen to me.. please these curtains make your room dark.. Lifeless it looks so dull.. Please alter it Khushi requested with a pout which would easily melt him.

Arnav pulled her twisting her hands making her wince in pain..

Dont you dare call this your room.. its our room..and If you feel dark then switch on the lights. It will illuminate the room much better.No need to advice me on this Khushi.. this is one of the best curtains I have bought. I know what is best for us and our room. Arnav blasted her in anger as he was already getting mad with one of his clients through the phone. He didnt see her tears gulping down in her throat which she made up with a pleasant smile.

If life had an undo option he thought.. Memories drowning him into more pain and confusion on how to go forward. He thought of talking to Aman and Lavanya first. He had got information from Anjum that Garima was fine and she was discharged. How would have Khushi felt during her mothers distress? He could feel the pain now. His mistakes were grave, he is open to any sort of redemption but only after knowing about her.. He had nothing to care about now.. He quickly called up Aman and asked him to meet him at home with all the pending office work he had left. He had burdened Aman a lot and it was time to get into the job.

********

It was evening when Arnav finished with Aman on his projects and other meetings to be finalised. He had enquired about Khushi to Aman but he had no idea since he and Lavanya hadnt met her more than one week. Aman had been too busy in AR and there was no time for him to look into other matters.They caught up into the work after getting an assurance from Lavanya to find out about Khushis whereabouts and her situation since her home line wasnt working. Anjali had informed him about his call to Payal after which she hadnt contacted them. He began to get suspicious about the sudden missing of all the people in Gupta house.

After Aman had left for an important meeting which Arnav asked him to attend on his behalf, he took up his phone and called Ashoks number in hesitation. He was very embarassed to call Ashok thinking about his reactions after all this events. Not much of a surprise that he didnt receive a call from his close friend but he still wanted to know what was happening with Khushi.. His heart was bursting with curiosity.

Arnav : Ashu, how are you ? Arnav stumbled for words which dried his throat as a result making him sound so low and unclear.

It was a shock for Ashok to hear Arnavs voice after 3 weeks time. He had managed to return back a hello rest all seemed to be unclear in his mind. He grabbed up himself to talk to his friend on how he is.

Ashok : Arnav.. Im fine man.. where are you now? Ashok questioned with concern.

Arnav : Im back home. I want to meet you now.. Shall I come over to your flat? Arnav hurried his question with the hope that he could convince Ashok at first though Ashok is not the kind who would reprimand him for what happened with Khushi.. He had to find out about Khushi which was his ulterior motive.

Ashok : ermm. Arnav... hold on.. Im in Lucknow now. Ashoks voice dripped with awkwardness.

Arnav : Lucknow? How did you reach there? I didnt know that your relatives were in Lucknow! You didnt tell even Aman? Arnav shooted out his questions trying to drift from the actual questions he was posing him. The agony of losing the hope of Ashok by his side when he wanted to meet Khushi worried him more.

Ashok : No.. Im here with Payal and her family. My parents have come too. Tomorrow is my engagement with Payal. Apparently they wanted to conduct the marriage on Sashi uncles mothers presence. So we didnt deny. The date is fixed two weeks after. Ashok uttered everything in a rush making his point clear though not much to his liking as he never wanted to inform his best friend like this.

Arnav was really surprised to know about Payal and Ashok marriage. They were rushing for their marriage and no one was invited too. It was clear that Khushi is in Lucknow with her family, she must be busy preparing for her sisters marriage he thought.It was her long time aspiration thats going to fulfill. She had already planned long back about what all she would do for Payals marriage ofcourse with the happiness doubled on their route getting clear for their marriage. But now things are not in place, he was not aware of her take on Arnav. He cleared his muddled thoughts and shot his precise question he had to ask Ashok.

Arnav: Ashu.. Congrats man.. Wish you all the best.. Where is Khushi?

Ashok : Arnav.. buddy.. Khushi.. Khushi is busy right now.. She is talking with her fiance at the temple. She is also getting engaged tomorrow. Ashok emphasized the last line in clarity with utter disappointment and anger. Ashok cursed himself for his vulnerability at this situation. He hadnt even thought of Arnavs reaction though a spontaneous outburst was expected from Arnav.

Arnav plunged himself to the couch in shock after hanging up the call.. he felt his head spinning fast hearing about Khushis engagment.. all hopes that had built up just shattered in a moment for him. Though there was just a small hope of grabing a small chance to prove his love the enormous guilt clouding over him slowly covered up.. He couldnt believe himself that he was feeling this pain. His eyes started to fill up in a hurry. He felt the shackles of his past actions and their result hitting him one more time.. will it drive him to insanity once again he thought.. His long hours of meditation, treatment and others proved to be futile when hearing about the fatal end of his relationship.

Khushi wouldnt have agreed for the marriage he knew.. It must have been her parents pressure especially after his behaviour which had resulted in the mess. If he had to ask for a chance he had to prove her about his change. What would be an reparation for his deeds..If he had been the old ASR he could have gone and dragged his Khushi back to his life.. but why cant he do that now? What is stopping him in between? Is it that guilt or his mother who had taught him to let think of others before taking a decision? Why is he tied into a strong force controlling him ? He rushed to the wash room to clean his face in clear water. He had to find out the way to come out of it.

A chance which he had to risk everyones life making them prove his reformation or a chance he is giving himself for redemption by letting her free. Six long years of their relationship had crossed his thoughts in a flash. Right from day one he had that attraction towards her which resulted in snatching her from her family for his posessiveness. They do deserve her. She deserves their love too. More than anything she deserves a good life. Would he be able to give her that life was the next question.. If he is not sure of giving her such a life then it would lead to further disasters. He had to make a check on whether his past actions affect her or him in their life.. but was there any alternative to convince her parents who had been deeply affected by maligning their daughters name?

Thoughts hit his brain like a tornado while he sat on the floor giving him time to meditate which would really give him a solution.

Avinash entered the room after a while to check on his chotte as Ashok had informed him about what he had talked to Arnav. Avinash had a never doubt on Arnavs resolve of not losing his control but his fatherly instincts pricked him.

He was shocked to find Arnav casually sitting on his couch working on his laptop boring the entire focus.. He moved towards the couch to sit beside his chote to feel the nerve of his current situation. His looks were casual but his eyes werent.. Avinash could clearly see the anguish and pain in his eyes although the calmness spreads over his face. He kept his hand on Arnavs shoulder who turned to face him acknowledging his touch.

Avinash : Chotte... the decision is all yours.. I dont want to interfere..All of us will be there with you for support. Avinash stated symbolically by holding Arnav's hand in assurance of his word.

Arnav closed his eyes taking in a deep breath, intaking the fragrances of all the beautiful moments he had spent with her. The long 6 year journey of his life which was colourful with the magical presence of his love. His fists slowly closed in pressure increasing the blood circulation in his wrists. The array of nostalgic memories digging out the feeling of supression in him Before he could get carried away again to the hell, the two weeks experience, his realisation on his faults of suppression snapped him from the thoughts. He should be clear enough to get rid of these unnecessary stress and anger to avoid hassles for the rest of the people around him who still believe in him who still love him... He sighed conforming to a decision within himself.

Arnav : Papa.. can you ask Aman to book tickets to Australia? I will travel along with Di and Adi.. He replied with a firm resolve.

Avinash was dumbfounded at the request.. He had innumerable questions on his decision but since he had promised to support his decision Avinash maintained his silence and turned to look down.

Arnav : She deserve a good life Papa a happier one.. Not that I cant give her a good one but the fear of hurting her in the past might come in to disrupt both our lives.. If I had to mend those I need time which I think wouldnt be acceptable for her parents.Im not losing confidence but trusting myself of not showing my dominance in this matter.. She has the right to decide about her life.. My presence shouldnt be an obstacle to move on.. I shouldnt run away without even a word of apology but even that word of apology shouldnt affect her life anymore.. I hope my getting away from here would erase all the traces of me from her life.. I had to decide in giving myself time papa. Arnav stated with a clear smile making Avinash proud of his chote for having thought with such maturity.

*******

Khushi started to descend the temple steps with fury. She was asked to collect the pooja essentials from the temple inturn making her meet with the guy whom they had proposed to get married to her. She wasnt even aware of this arrangement until the boy himself infromed Khushi about the whole arrangement. Khushi rushed to her daadis house finding her parents chatting with their relatives.

Khushi : Papa.. whats all these? I never expected this from you! Khushis eyes were spitting fire with the outburst of words.

Sashi comprehending the reason for her action took her to the room silently with Garima and Payal following them. After all of them entered Khushi closed the room to confide in what she had to .

Khushi : How on earth you could think that I would agree for engagement tomorrow? Was this the main motive behind arranging jijis marriage in Lucknow? Papa.. I hadnt expected that from you.. She cornered him with her question in disbelief.

Garima : Bitiya.. just listen.. we are just asking you to talk to him.. if you are not interested we can drop the alliance. We cant see you suffering like this Khushi.. Garima pleaded.

Khushi : Amma.. Dont you have any small consideration on my feelings? Why do you all treat me like kicking a football for your wishes? I dont want to get married thats final. Tomorrow it will be only Jijis engagement.. Khushi stressed her decision and was about to leave the room when Sashis voice stopped her.

Sashi : So you still believe him beta? You still love him so much that you cant see your parents suffering about their daughters life getting ruined? You still trust him so much that you are ready to throw anyone from your life eventhough he considers you as worthless? Sashi retaliated with heavy heart of hurting his daughter again.

Khushi turned back and sighed.

Khushi : I dont want my parents to suffer thats why I stood by you.. I dont want to throw anyone from my life especially my parents even after knowing about how you had thrusted your decision upon him by using my name which infuriated him resulting those havoc! Finally I dont want to ditch my love thats it! I would be your daughter as long as I stay in this world. And please never ask any questions regarding him from me.. You dont deserve those answers..

To be continued..

Unres!

Okay I couldn't just sleep just like that..
I wanted an update and when I'm first how can I leave it? 😲
Me first 🥳

I love your writing ... It's so so so so so addictive ..
This was a special update I've read on his b'day (3rd special update)

Aww Arnav's change was recognised by Anjali by the hug .. How sweet and
Adi and his question how innocent he is so cute baby.

& Arnav's decision about the apology and his decision that he need time .. Amazing
Since I know Khushi's decision I'm fine .. But what if the parents would have forced her that means he would have let her free ..
That's just so sad to think
You made my heart wreck.

& Khushi's sentence superb.

Khushi : I dont want my parents to suffer thats why I stood by you.. I dont want to throw anyone from my life especially my parents even after knowing about how you had thrusted your decision upon him by using my name which infuriated him resulting those havoc! Finally I dont want to ditch my love thats it! I would be your daughter as long as I stay in this world. And please never ask any questions regarding him from me.. You dont deserve those answers..

That means she is still giving her love importance then how for she is not accepting to hear anything about him.
I guess it because she has been hurting.

Khushi vaithale oru Aapu super machi...
Mamu poge poge ellam puriyum...
Wait pannunga... Arnav sollele wait panni kidaikum rusi'ye tani 😉
(It was in his b'day on the show he said that) now since its Baruns b'day me saying it :)


Thanks for the update .. & sorry for troubling you ...
Waiting for next part eagerly...
😃

Muahhh Khushi ! Muahhh Arnie ! Both stole a big space in my heart in this upd ! Brilliant ! Esp Khushi € love u dear

Heart wrenching one
Truly loved it
He is ready to let go of her for her happiness and here she is still fighing everyone for her love...one thing that nagged me was ashok and payal both are so mean...may be i turn out wrong with this thought but see Arnav was the source they met, Khushi nd Arnav were the one who waited for 6 damn years for payal to get married...Ashok nd payal were helped by Anjali to get along cnt they once inform her atleast abt leaving to lucknow...
I loved it how she clearly told her parents it wasnt his fault totally her mother nd father were equally responsible for this.

Wow! What an emotionally packed chapter.
So Arnav has emerged from ASR which is very good for everyone but him getting informed about khushi's engagement must have been painful but he controlled himself which shows he has really changed. Him going away is no surprise as now he is thinking about khushi, her feelings and her life.
As fit khushi I loved what she did. Her to finally make her parents realise that her feelings and her life are not to be used as a football.
Thank god she spoke out.
Loved the chapter.
