Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

Part 36

You know they say that when you are with the person you love, time flies, like one moment it would be eight in the morning and you blink at it's midnight and you don't even know how fast time passed.

It was the same for Arnav and Khushi, they had spent a week together and then Rudra came with the news, everything for Khushi had been set up in Australia, the tickets were booked and they were supposed to leave the very next day.

It was like one moment they were spending all the time they had together and now they had to go away from each other, it was heartbreaking.

Khushi had just finished her packing with the help of Arnav when Rudra walked into her room.

"You done?" He asked.

"Yeah." She replied sadly as she looked at Arnav, she couldn't believe that this was their last day together, tomorrow she was going away from him and she had no idea when they were going to meet again.

"You know we're doing it for your own good Khushi." Rudra said.

"It still doesn't make sense to me but I am done arguing with you guys so I'll just do whatever you want."

"Because it's your last day with him, I'll let you two go out today and spend as much time you want together." Rudra said.

"Jeez thanks, that's all I want." Khushi rolled her eyes.

"Hey... don't be so rude, it's okay." Arnav smiled at her.

"It's not okay, I don't like the idea of going away from you that too so they could be sure you mean no harm to me, I know you mean no harm to me, why can't they trust me?"

"Because we trusted Ritika and look where that brought us." Rudra said angrily.

"Relax babe, I promise I will text you and call you daily, you wont even feel that I'm not there. Give me half an hour, I'll go home, have something to do then I'll come pick you up and when can go out. You can get ready meanwhile." Arnav smiled at her.

"Okay." She pouted as he walked away leaving her and Rudra alone.

"You better have your location on, I want to give you two privacy so I won't come along, but I need to know where you are just incase okay?" Rudra said.

"Whatever you say." Khushi replied.

"I know you hate me for this, but you'll realize that we did it all just to keep you safe Khushi." Rudra looked at her sadly and then walked away as Khushi sat down on her bed, she dint even feel like getting ready, all she could think of was that tomorrow she would leave, she would be in a different country and it just made her sad knowing Arnav wont be there with her.

All this time he had been very understanding of her decisions and her brother's decisions, only if her brothers would have understood him too.

*****

Like he had promised, Arnav was back within half an hour all dressed up, Khushi too had convinced herself to get ready and spend quality time with Arnav instead of being sad about the fact that she was leaving.

Like Rudra told her, she turned her location on and then left with Arnav, she couldn't understand why they dint trust Arnav yet, he literally meant no harm to her, if he had to harm her he would have done it long time ago.

"Whose car have you stolen today?" Khushi smiled as she walked towards him.

"It's actually your brother's. They said we could use it, and they even gave me permission to drive it." He smiled excitedly.

"Wow, I dint even realize it was one of our cars. So where are we going?"

"Just somewhere where it will be only you and me."
