FF:Iss Pyaar Ka Main Kiya Karoon..#2. Completed - Page 18

Part 14..

Arnav was watching her from afar...He knew what she must be thinking...She did look confused...He wanted to run and take her in his arms and protect her from whatever was haunting her mind..She looked so fragile, so lost...He felt so helpless...Clenching his fists...He wanted to break something...Dammit...Why had he let this happen...Why?? It was all his fault... And now Khushi was paying for it...

Arnav kept on starring at her...He sighed and looked up and said to himself...I'm glad she was rescued by Daiji and her husband...I'm glad, shes fine and finally she had agreed to go to the city...He'd better call Aman and ask him to make appointments with the best neurologist and psychiatrist in the city...

Arnav text msged Aman and also asked him about Shyam...

Anjali, Aman and Arnav had mutually decided to send Shyam away to Mumbai. Aman had a friend there who would lure Shyam with big cash and a fake case. That would give them time to get Khushi familiar with her surroundings...

Tomorrow was the wedding and they should leave the day after that...He wanted to get Khushi under his wings as soon as possible...He wanted to take her everywhere and introduce her old life back to her...That should trigger her mind...That should bring his Khushi back to him...Once she remembers everything, he would never leave her alone...Never...

Arnav walked over to Nani ji and took her aside and had a long chat with her then moved away...

After the haldi ceremony everyone was busy having their dinner...Khushi looked here and there...She couldnt find him...Thinking...He must be hiding behind his tree.. the nerve of him...and he calls me a coward...Huh...And then it hit her...When she remembered him saying...The old ladies are trying to get me married... She felt some pain in her heart...He was single...What the? How can I be jealous...I dont even know him...Khushi you have gone crazy...

She filled a plate for her and saw Nani ji coming towards her and said...Khushi dear, I just spoke to your Dai ji and she also would like you to come with us to the city...My dear, what do you think? Do you trust this old lady enough to come to her house?

Khushi was taken aback... Naniji, my Daiji trusts you...She wouldn't allow unless she approves of it...But, I...wont I be a burden on you all...

Nani ji came forward and took her hands in hers and said...It will be a pleasure to have you with us... My grand daughter Anjali, Arnav's sister...She would also love to meet you...

Khushi looked uncomfortable at hearing Arnav's name, Nani noticed that and said.. My grandson is stubborn...But hes good at heart...When he decides to do anything, he always gets it done...His stubbornness will help you regain your memory...

Khushi...He fights with me a lot...

Naniji smiled and said...Hmmm... remember hes trying to help you...maybe that way hes testing you or something? Don't mind him dear...He's like that...

Khushi nodded and said... Thanks, I would love to come with you...

Nani ji hugged her and went on her way...

Khushi absentmindedly started to eat her food...Then she went inside to sit with Avni. It was her last night in their village...Tomorrow was the wedding and she would go away with her husband to her in laws house in the other village...

The other girls had also gathered there and were teasing the bride...Telling her about the horrors of marriage and some were teasing her about the wedding night. Some were sad that she would be leaving them all forever... That brought tears to Avni's eyes and also to Khushi's...

Then someone said...What if the bridegroom doesn't come?? Then Avni doesn't need to go to the other village... Everyone scolded that girl for saying this...How can you say that? Silly girl...He will come for sure and take our Avni with him...

Khushi had just frozen on the spot...The words playing again and again in her mind...What if the bridegroom doesn't come??? What if the bridegroom doesn't come??? The bride will be left at the altar...Dazed she turned and walked out the room...

Dai ji was coming to get her and saw her and said...Khushi, are you ready to go home? Big day tomorrow...lets go home now...

Khushi walked beside Dai ji...But she was in a different world...Arnav saw her leave...Something was not right...She seemed lost...He wanted to go to her and ask her if she was ok...But he knew he couldn't...Not yet...He had to take it very slowly...Dammit...

Khushi was lying in her bed and looking aimlessly up at the ceiling...What if the bridegroom doesn't come...what if... She turned on her side...Scolding herself she said...Why was she thinking so negative? Doesn't Avni deserve to be happy? You are bad Khushi...go to sleep...Finally she fell into a disturbed sleep...Her dreams full of strange things and she was running from it...trying to reach someone or something...but couldn't and didn't know what it was...

Morning...

Khushi woke up, went in the courtyard and saw Dai ja and Sarpan ji already having their morning tea with flat breads...They were not alone...Arnav was also sitting, happily chatting and having breakfast with them...

Dai ji saw her first and said... Come my dear, join us...

Khushi went and sat beside them...Facing Arnav...Who was looking down, but had a smirk on his face...

Khushi thinking...What were they talking about and what was that smirk for...Laad Gov...

Sajpan ji... So my dear, you have decided to go to the city?

Khushi looked at Dai ji and nodded...

Sarpan ji... A good decision, my dear... I pray and hope you get well soon...Ya and remember this...Any time you feel you want to come back...this house is yours...You just come back home...

He looked at Arnav and said...Anytime my daughter needs to come home...She will come home...Whether shes cured or not...

Arnav looked at Sarpan ji and saw that he was actually warning him...Of course...We will try our best to help Khushi and keep her comfortable...But if she's not happy or comfortable...she can return back...No one will stop her or keep her by force...

Sarpan ji looked at Dai ji and nodded and then he looked at Khushi and said... Tabu... I mean Khushi...do anything, but dont forget us...

Khushi teared up when she heard that, ran and hugged Sarpan ji then said...Ill never forget you two...How can I?

Sarpan ji laughed, hugged her and said...Good...and dont trouble these city ppl...They are not as strong as us village ppl...Take your Dai ja's cell phone with you...then he got up and went in his room...

Dai ja...Ya..Ill call you every night and first thing in the morning...

Khushi smiled and looked at Arnav... He just smiled and said... Why dont you come with us? You know you are more than welcome...

Khushi really liked the idea and at the moment she wanted to just go and hug Arnav for saying that...Yes Dai ji...plz come with me...

Dai ji... You know I cant leave your Sarpan ji alone...otherwise I would love to join you...

Arnav...The invitation stands open...Anytime you both feel like coming to the city...Our home is open for you...

Hearing Arnav say this, raised his respect in Khushi's eyes a thousand fold...

Dai ji thanked him and went in the kitchen...

Khushi looked at him and said...Thanks...

Arnav shaking his head said...Dont thank me now Khushi...Thank me when you are cured...Im telling you this...The ride to getting cured wont be an easy one...Plz be ready for a tough fight...

Khushi nodded...I m ready...

Arnav getting up said..Good...get ready, we will leave early tomorrow morning. So pack up everything that you need and Ill see you at the wedding...

Khushi lost all color at the mention of the word wedding...Arnav noticed it and asked...What is it? Tell me... Im your doctor...

Khushi hesitantly...The word wedding...It scares me...

Now it was Arnav's turned to turn pale...He said... It's ok...Everything will be fine... Just be positive ok? And he left...Cursing himself as he left...Dammit...its all your fault...

Wedding...

Khushi got ready and was waiting by the door for Dai ji...She wished she could avoid going next door today...She didnt feel like going...But...she had to go...

Dai ji came out and said...Wow Khushi, you are looking beautiful in blue...Dear you didnt put the red one on?

Khushi...No Dai ji, I dont want to wear the red color...

Dai ji didn't argue and they left for the wedding...

By the time they reached next door, the wedding was in full swing... Dai ji holding Khushis hand moved forward and they could see the mandap... People were laughing all around them and saying call the bridegroom...Where is he hiding...

Suddenly Khushi started feeling strange...Her heartbeat increased and she started to sweat... She could hear loud noises...He is not coming? He doesnt want to marry you... Khushi looked here and there...She didnt know where she was...Everything was fading around here...She freed her hand from Dai jis hold and started to move backwards...

Arnav had no interest in attending this wedding...His only reason to be in this village was his Khushi...Or he would have left for the city a long time back...He had been avoiding the crowd and was standing by the entrance door which was wide open and deserted...

He had seen her enter and knew something was not right...It looked as if Dai ji had literally dragged her here...He raised his head...Looked at her and went out the door...He had enough of the wedding and the noise...

Dai ji looked at her and instantly noticed her lost eyes and pale face...She said... Khushi...

But Khushi was already lost...Oblivious to her surroundings...Her lips were moving...Dai ji couldn't understand what she was saying...Suddenly she turned and ran...

Arnav had just step outside and taken few steps when he heard Dai ji calling... Khushi...Khushi wait...

Arnav turned and saw Khushi running out the door, followed by Dai ji... He saw her and ran after her. When he caught her, he made her face him...She started to fight him...She was dazed...and kept on saying...Hes not going to come...The bridegroom is not going to come for the bride...

Aranv gasped and started to shake her gently...Khushi...Khushi...The bridegroom has come...He is inside, sitting in the mandap with the bride...Khushi...

But Khushi kept on repeating...He's not coming...He cant let her down..He promised he would be there...She's waiting for him...He can't do this to her...He said he loved her...

Arnav didn't know how to handle this situation...He gathered Khushi close to him and started to pat her face softly. Trying to get her out of this trauma...

Arnav...Khushi...Khushi...listen to me...Khushi please...

Khushi looked at him, her eyes lost and said..He's not coming. She closed her eyes and swayed, leaned forward on Arnav and fainted.
