Lost Love

After accusing Khushi for every ill in his life, Arnav left from there leaving behind a shattered Khushi, who was standing rooted to the spot remembering his every word again and again. Every word which her Arnavji spitted like a venom on her and soon realisation hit her of what just happened.

“Arnavji, her Arnav ji blamed her for every wrong in his and his sister’s life. After everything happened he still holds her responsible for everything??”

On the other side, Arnav was driving his car rashly thinking about the recent happenings and just like that he realised what he just did.

He accused Khushi again, he hurt her again & he mentally kicked himself for his stupidity. The girl who did everything for the happiness of his family and him, the girl who nearly lost her life in saving him, the girl who have to bear so much pain because of him, who was already breaking from inside by the behaviour of his family. When she needed him the most, when she needed his support, yet he again failed her.” Taking a ‘U’ turn he drives back to shantivan hurriedly.

As soon as he reaches home, Arnav runs towards his room to see the site he feared. Khushi was silently packing her bags.

At first he was shocked to react anything, his fear is going to come true she’s going to leave him alone. Alone, in the darkness he lived before.

Right then Khushi turns towards him and their eyes met, his eyes showing the pain and hers, a determination which scared him.

The empty and determined look in her ever so lively eyes scared him. He wanted to hide himself, he can’t look into those eyes, but he have to.

He have to otherwise she’ll leave him.

"Khushi!" His voice coming in whisper. "What is this? Where are you going?"

"Far away from your life! So you can live in peace, Mr. Raizada." That hurt him, he cringes at her indifferent tone of speaking.

"Mr. Raizada? Khushi, its Arnav ji for you." Arnav whispered, almost stammering.

"No. It was always Mr.Raizada. The mighty Arnav Singh Raizada. Arnav ji was just my illusion, nothing more."

Arnav closed his eyes, feeling her agony in those words.

"Khushi, I didn’t mean that." Arnav started, trying to explain.

"No, Mr.Raizada. Now I very well know what did you mean. So I am leaving, I have had enough." Khushi answered, trying to act strong and keep her tears at bay.

"Khushi! Khushi, please try to understand I was just tensed about Di. So I" (interrupted off by Khushi)

"So as always you did what you do, threw venom at me because you think that I don’t have heart? I don’t get hurt? Oh yea, how can I forget? According to you, a middle class girl like me can’t have emotions. They are also for rich persons like you and your family."

Arnav flinched hearing those pain filled words "Khushi, No. Please don’t say like that. Please just listen to me. Don’t go Khushi, please. Don’t......." (interrupted by Khushi again)

"No! I just want to leave now. I no more wish to be your play toy. With whom you can play according to your wishes and mood." Saying this she starts moving towards door but Arnav holds her wrist and closing his eyes he did what he thought best to stop her that moment (unwillingly) he knows that it’ll hurt her but he thought to mend it later not knowing that it’ll stab her heart more brutally.

"Khushi, You can’t go you’re still in contract with me." And he turned to look at her, prepared for another outburst but none came to his surprise.

Coming out of his hold Khushi comes back inside the room without any fuss to his shock. He was feeling happy

that now Khushi will be here but her next words made him realize the blunder he did.

Khushi speaks with her back towards him "You surprise me, Mr.Raizada. One moment you spit fire, another moment you say sorry but alas you always proves that Arnav Singh Raizada can never change."

"Khushi, I..."

"You don’t have to say anything anymore, Mr. Raizada. I’ll live here till the contract ends. I’ll not break it." Khushi replied in same detached voice as earlier.

"Khushi, listen.." Arnav tried to explain but Khushi moves away from there.

Taking her blanket she goes to sleep on recliner leaving Arnav shocked. "Khushi, what are you doing ? Why are you sleeping on recliner?"

"Ohh sorry, Mr.Raizada. I’ll move to poolside."

Arnav looks at her shocked, her every word twisting his heart. "No!! Khushi, I mean sleep on bed. You don’t have to sleep on recliner."

Khushi smiled sarcastically "Oh no, Mr.Raizada. This is your room. I am comfortable with recliner, thanks for your generosity that you are even letting me stay in your room when it so difficult for you to even breathe the same air as me." Arnav just closes his eyes hearing his own words from her mouth in guilt and pain as they continued to squeeze his heart painfully.

"In fact it is matter of few days till the contract ends. You sleep peacefully on your master bed."

"Khushi..." Arnav tried but Khushi turns her back towards him and sleeps on the recliner or pretends to sleep.

Arnav just stands there looking at her figure and cursing himself. He move towards bed to sleep thinking this is not the right time to talk with her.

If only he knew how wrong he is. If he held her in his arms and tried to soothe her, she would have

broken down in his arms only.

She just needed love and support this time, which he again failed to give her.

Arnav hears Khushi’s little sobs and cried himself for all the pain in their life .

BG: Kyun khwabon pe tere saaye hain,

dil kyun hai tanha mera,

Kyun khamoshi hai jubaan meri

ashkon se keh paaun na

kyun dard hai itna tere hi ishq me

rabba ve

rabba ve rabba ve rabba ve...........

In wee hours both fell asleep tired.

To be continued......

Note

I’ve not named this story Lost Love because of Arshi’s separation or misunderstandings. Lost Love will be about every relationship, Lovers, Life partners, Siblings, Family or Friends and their bonding.
