Chapter 5G - The Disaster From the Past (The Final Competition)
Chapter 18B
Day 5 - He was never a cheater, just a true friend!
And suddenly she turned his gaze to Arnav when she heard him said absent-mindedly in a low voice...
ASR: Tanya Jaiswal!
Khushi closed her eyes to stop her tears but... all she could see was flashes... flashes of the past.. Arnav and Jaiswal together in the dressing room... And she felt stabbed into her heart once again... as if she was back at that door and her heart had been broken into pieces at the moment she pushed open that door!
Without paying any attention to the two other people into the board room, Tanya rushed inside and approached her husband smilingly... MK stood and welcomed his wife into his open arms.. The lady hugged her husband tightly and then pulled back... saying naughtily...
Tanya: You were saying something, right??
A mischievous smile curved onto his lips, MK said in a sarcastic tone while his arms were still around his loving wife's waist...
MK: Hmm.. nothing much... just that I cannot live without the food my wify cooks!
Her mouth formed an O shape while MK broke out laughing... Tanya tapped into MK's chest and the latter pulled her in a hug as he said playfully...
MK: Kidding wify.. Kidding! You know I cannot live without you... your cooking is just the bonus.. I was just praising my fabulous wife to the guests...
And suddenly he pulled back...
MK: Oh how forgetful of me... Tanu please meet my guests..
Tanya shifted her gaze to the two figures sitting next to each other and on the spot her eyes shot open in surprise...
MK: Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Gupta... And guys please meet my lovely wife, Tanya Kapoor! Isn't she beautiful?? how can one not love her a lot, right Miss Gupta?
Her eyelids lowered... Khushi seemed not hearing a word of MK.. Her tears threatening to fall, she suddenly lifted her eyes when Arnav placed gently his hands on hers under the table! Managing to control from breaking out, she said looking straight into the eyes of the shocked Tanya...
Khushi: Yeah.. Indeed she is!
And slowly khushi moved off her hands from Arnav's hold leaving him shattered deep inside... Khushi, Arnav and Tanya remained silent... and breaking the silence, MK said in his good mood...
MK: So let's have homemade lunch together today... What say Tanu??
As he got no response from his wife.. he shook her arms...
MK: Tanu, where are you lost baby??
Tanya jerked and stuttered...
Tanya: no.. I mean.. sorry jaan! Let's have lunch.. I'll serve!
And she nervously began to lay down the plates leaving MK in a confused state... Suddenly MK's thoughts broke when Khushi stood without looking at Arnav or Tanya... A faint smile on her face, she managed to say in a casual tone...
Khushi: It's ok Mr. Kapoor.. I'll just have coffee.. I had a heavy breakfast this morning.. I'll just be back from the cafeteria, please excuse me...
And without sparing time to anyone to intervene, Khushi rushed out of the board room.. Though she knew this might look rude, but she couldn't bare it anymore.. and she couldn't risk breaking into tears in front of a stranger... and most importantly in front of Arnav!
As Khushi disappeared, Arnav shifted his gaze to Tanya.. His eyes were full of furry... anger as well as the pain of khushi.. He closed his fists and looked away ignoring the guilt on Tanya's face.. Seeing Khushi running away from him, for a second he wished to reveal the truth to her.. the truth! The reason behind his actions! That he never did what he did to win.. he never thought for a second to miss Khushi's fashion show! That at the moment her heart was racing seeing her designs on the ramp, he so wished to be next to her and holding her hands... driving away her nervousness.. and telling her " Khushi whatever happens, for me you are the winner... you deserve to be"... But then how could he? Knowing the truth will hurt her even more.. and he will not bare any guilt on his Khushi's face.. He just wants her happy.. and smiling.. and laughing... Suddenly Arnav got back to reality when he heard MK saying...
MK: Well I guess.. we are only two to enjoy the good indian food... So shall we start?
Arnav nodded faintly but not once he met Tanya's eyes and they began eating... Lunch time was a silent thing but Arnav's mind and heart were all restless... His eyes kept looking at the door... He wished to walk out and search for Khushi, but he very well knew that this would only arise questions in Mr Kapoor's mind... and in business.. especially for Khushi's career, he preferred not to take risks.. Mr Kapoor was a very affluent person and he wondered what he could do if he found out the truth about his wife... Even if his career was over, Arnav won't mind.. but Khushi.. it should not affect her.. She had a long way to go! He wanted to see her at the top of this world... And suddenly his eyes fell on Tanya.. The look into her eyes.. She seemed lost.. Maybe she was repenting after all.. but who cares.. the harm has been done already.. And nothing could change these years of pains both Arnav and Khushi had been through without each other's side!
