New Arhi SS: 'Five Days' Chp 4 Now UPDATED COMPLETED - Page 7

'Because I was given a second chance to save you'

Have you ever felt like the breath in your lungs complete knocked out? Or the literal sensation of a soul ripping in two? The overwhelming power of something wrapping you tight, suffocating your entire being.

Invisible walls pushed against the upper case of my body choking the life out of my system. The atmosphere changed within a second. Gasping for my breath I reached out unknowingly to clasp his hands. He bent over and pulled me in to his arms. Warmth flooded in to the depths of my core as I firmly gripped his coat. 'What's happening to me?' Breathless, I gasped out my question before him. 'Not a trace of panic was shown in his handsome face. Calmly he whispered down in to my ears. 'I am here to save you darling. This is just part of the process. Once we pass one hour the day changes. Today is the third day Khushi. The second day passed moments ago.'

I gripped the base of his neck to pull him closer. 'What do you mean. This makes no sense what so ever! Who are you! Just yesterday everything was normal. How is this even happening YOU'RE LYING!' Shaking his head in denial he held me tighter. 'I am not lying. Do you remember when you gave me the key. You formed a sacred bond between us. We were bonded together by that key. You gave me the right over your heart.'

Sheer panic engulfed my senses. 'Who are you?', whispering in despair I searched his face for an answer. Arnav's voice croaked with emotion. 'I am the man you are destined to be with. The key only appears when your heart wants it to. You wanted this Khushi. We were destined for life. We are soul mates.'

With all the strength I possessed I pushed him away. Emotions of all kinds stormed in the depths of my body. Confusion swept over my mind as I felt the electric throb attacking the base of my skull. 'AAAHHH! STOP LYING TO ME.' Screams of terror filled the park as I clutched my head in pain. 'KHUSHI,' he shrieked, attempting to hold me, but I pushed him away. 'NO. DO NOT TOUCH ME. How can you even say we are meant to be! When I don't even know you!'

'Khushi,' he pleaded, 'please give me a chance to explain. Sit down and I will explain to you everything. Before anything takes place you have to know the truth.' Abruptly the throbbing inside my skull stopped. Still clutching my head whilst breathing in and out I sat down on the bench once again. 'Fine. Speak to me. Tell me the truth. What is happening? Who are you? How is this all possible. Explain everything to me right now.'

Sitting himself down beside me he began his unexpected tale. 'I am from another life.' Pausing for a moment I saw him search my face. I gave away no expressions and waited for him to continue. Hesitantly he once again carried on. 'In that previous life you and I fall in love. Not easily of course. Many trials and tribulations were put before us. I was an arrogant man who only cared for money and power. Arrogance, ego and ruthlessness were my traits. It was the only way I believed in surviving. Destiny was written by myself and nobody else. What I didn't expect was your arrival in to my life. That fateful night you came in to my fashion show- you see I am an owner of a very famous fashion industry in Delhi, India. Yes, you heard me right; India. You were running to give your sister the dowry papers. I cut him off in mid sentence. 'I had a sister?'

'Yes, you had a sister, a mother, a father, and an aunt. They loved you very much Khushi. Because of that love you ran all the way to get those dowry papers for your sister. A marriage was happening at your home and the groom's family demanded for it. So some how you ended up coming to Sheesh Mahal, where the fashion show was held. The workers there mistook you for a model and they pushed you forward to the ramp. Then at that very second I opened my eyes to see the woman who was about to change my entire destiny.' Pausing, he chuckled to himself staring in to the distance again. 'Clumsy person that you were, you ended up tripping and falling in to my arms. Thus began our painful, yet rollercoaster of a journey.'

Overwhelmed with emotions I heard my voice break. 'Did we fall in love instantly?' Cupping my face he leaned forward. 'Instantly. Only took one second for us to fall in love. But neither of us realized until very later. You messed me up Khushi. You became my entire world. Though many times I fought to push you away some how you'd end up in my arms again. I couldn't make you disappear. You were my life line. There is no possibility where I could survive without you' Tears glided down his cheeks dropping to my lap.

Gently I wiped each tear with my finger. 'What happened after, Arnav?' Pulling himself away he continued the story. 'Eventually after many, many tribulations we finally got married properly. Two years of blissful marriage. As time passed we decided it was time we started a family. Soon enough you became pregnant. Oh Khushi, our entire families were overjoyed at the news, but no one on this planet was happier than I was. Nine months of pure joy. We enjoyed every second of your pregnancy. But of course fate had other plans.' Swiftly his tone turned darker. 'The day you were about to give birth there were complications. Doctor said that either you or the baby will die. There was no assurance what so ever. My entire world collapsed that day. As they did everything to save you and our child none of them succeeded. I lost you along with our child. My two worlds.'

Unable to bear the pain I flung myself in to his lap. Wailing in utter grief I covered my face in his neck. Strong arms wrapped me like a blanket with comfort and he kept going. 'So I ran out of the hospital pushing away any of my family members who tried to calm me. Violently I drove through the deserted streets of Delhi. My plan was to kill myself for I had no purpose in life without you. You were my world so what was the point. Finally I came to a complete halt when someone in my gut whispered to me, 'maneet key' When I think about it the voice sounded like yours, Khushi. What was even more weird was when I reached for my shirt pocket and there it was- the maneet key. Next thing I know I was flying through air. I was flung in to the air like lightening right in to Regina, Canada. There was no way for me to stop it. Hence the reason I was running like the wind yesterday when we met. In the midst of it all the key disappeared from my hands. That is when you came in to the picture. In order for that to happen your heart has to cry for its purpose. So you found the key and as you did and whatever force which was making me run halted me at the ally. Immediately when you handed me over the key everything began to make sense. Like an electric fuse coming together. Once you ran away I began to understand why I was brought to another life. The key revealed that you were dying in this life. I was told about the amount of days you had. However if I wanted to bring you back to your previous life I had to quicken the process. In which you gave me the power over when you handed me the key. Hence the reason I followed you here.'

First time in years I felt peace settle at the pit of my stomach. Here I was in the arms of a stranger who claimed to me of such supernatural forces. Yet I believed him . 'Arnav, why do I believe you?'

Caressing my cheeks with care he leaned his forehead against mine. 'Because we are soul-mates. The other knows when we're lying or not.'

'What do I do Arnav?'

Warm breath washed upon my lips. '2 hours have passed my love. It's the fifth day.' Gasping I leaned away. 'Arnav, does this mean I am going to die now? What about my mom? Arnav I cannot leave her. She will be alone Arnav! I cannot let her suffer!'

'Shhh, shh it's okay sweet heart.' He reassured me with comfort. 'Once you leave this world none of this will exist.'

'What does that mean Arnav?'

'It means you have the control'

Confused, I found myself frowning. 'I still don't understand, Arnav..'

'The one who is the dreamer is the controller.'
