Chapter 14 :
Slowly arnav breaks the hug and takes khushi's hand and leads her to the white blanket. He sits on it and pulls khushi gently. He makes khushi to lie down and settles himself next to her. Khushi looks at him and then at the sky. They stay in silence for sometime.
Arnav :Khushi today i want to give you something and also introduce you to someone.
He then points to two stars, khushi looks in the direction.
Arnav: Hi Mamma Pappa this is your daughter-in-law khushi, kumari gupta singh raizaada. U know mumma she is just like you. If only u were her mamma nothing like this would have happened. She is the best person mamma her smile, undying love for everyone including me. I hurt her a lot mamma, but my words, actions. I am sorry mamma i am sorry khushi. Dont hate me please. Mamma i love her a lot. I hurt her so much that she is leaving me mamma I cannot live without her mamma I will die, i survived cuz i had Di to take care, but if my life, my love leaves me, i cant breathe mamma But i know she needs sometime for herself. I will promise you mamma i will win her trust and love. I love you khushi. I am really sorry. Papa she is just like u crazy, her buaji has kept correct name for her Sankadevi. She loves jalebis so much papa She makes it no matter whether she is happy, sad, stressed or angry. Not little, so much that u can feed our entire society. Khushi that is my papa I am sorry dad for hurting her, forgive me.
Khushi : Arnavji...
She was in tears, she turned and hugged aranv who hugged her back and started crying saying sorry.
Khushi : Arnavji, i know nothing like this would have not happened but i want sometime to be myself. I want you to take care of Di. If once u had asked me i would have agreed to do anything to save Di from that evil person.Y u dint trust ur love arnavji. U tell u love me, but then where was the trust. Just imagine how u felt when nanheji was speaking with during Jiji's wedding. But still i trusted you arnavji, no matter even when u made lavanyaji stay here as live-in relationship, but i knew you care for naani & Di. I knew u wont do anything that would hurt them. Then why did u hurt me so much arnavji. I thought u loved me, but i was so wrong.
Arnav breaks the hug and cups her face. She turns him to the sky and points out the other 2 stars.
Khushi : They are my amma, baabuji. Amma meet your khadoos son-in-law. My arnavji. Anger is always on his nose. He is always an erupting volcano who needs a reason to get angry and shout at me. But behind this khadoos ASR, there is my arnavji, who gives me pain one moment but then does something the next minute to see me smiling. Please forgive me amma, i need time to sort out things in my life. I am sorry.
Arnav : No no khushi, i wanted to convey my feelings to you, and then i saw u going towards terrace that day.I realized this when di spoke to me about it. I thought i will go mad when i came to know you are engaged. I felt like finding the person and beating him into pulp. Please dont leave me khushi, dont shut me out from ur life. Take as much time as you want. I will not stop you but please dont shut me out from your life. Please do meet me and answer my calls.
Khushi : Arnavji.. Please i need sometime to think about myself. I am hurt by ur actions. I need to do this. Please try to understand. Dnt make it more difficult for me. Anyways u have Jiji & Di. Please let me go.
Arnav sighed knowing that khushi was as stubborn as he is. He just nodded and hugged her and kissed her on her forehead, eyes, cheeks and halted at her lips since he knew it will make her uncomfortable. Khushi opened her eyes and saw him looking at her with so much love. She slowly cupped his face and kissed him on his eyes, nose, cheeks and finally lightly brushed her lips on his. Arnav was first shocked but then when his ASR brain started working, he realised that khushi had actually kissed him. He caught hold of her and kissed her like never tomorrow. It was not a passionate kiss, it was a kiss of pain, love, fear of loosing her,agony. The 2 lovebirds were lost in their own world unaware of the 4 stars shining brightly.
