The adulterous affair

Episode 30 - Arnav melts Khushi's heart

"""""In Erola"""

It was 7.00pm in the night. They ate their dinner which were just some fruits. As the tribals ate other animals as food with tikka like thing in campfire. Like deer, elephant and crows. This was not edible to them. So they ate just the fruits. For women the washroom was a kilometer away in the open space and for men it was a bit far off. Khushi had accompanied Mallika when she was with her. The tribals slept early and woke up as soon as the first rays of sun hit them. But Arshi aren't accustomed to sleeping this early. The forest was pitch dark at night times. Even the open space that they live in had very little light. Inside the hut they had only the oil lamp lit. It was golden dark. Arnav tried calling from his phone for one last time. But there was no network as usual. By the way when thee is no network in the village, it is hopeless to try here. 

Arnav who was out came in . They had an eyelock. It was their first night together in the forest. Arnav saw Khushi and was staring at her. The thought of both of them lonely in that hut made him feel different. He was coming forward, she senses it and goes backward and hits the wall. She couldn't go backwards much because of the shortness of the hut. Khushi was about to run the other way but Arnav blocked her. She tried running from the other but Arnav blocked with both his hands.

Arnav(whispering ):Khushi...

Khushi was breathing heavily. Arnav scanned from her eyes to her lips. He nears her,but Khushi turns her face.He kissed her cheek instead of her lips. Her neck was low and that was because it got torn when she had come from that lake. Khushi looks at the other side with her eyes closed, breathing heavily.

Arnav blew her hair.

Arnav:Khushi we are alone in this room. I can do whatever I want.

Khushi popped her eyes up. She gets a flashback of him forcing her in bed.

She pushes him. Arnav is shocked.

Khushi: So what? Do you think you can force me?

Arnav senses this. No matter even if he goes to her with love, she is getting reminded of him forcing her. There is a fine border line between lust and love. Khushi goes to the other side. His heart felt low, feeling a twinge.

Khushi: I think we have to sleep here together.

Arnav saw Khushi and they both lay down.

They both were lying on the floor, facing their backs in the house.

Khushi(sobbing): What will happen to me tomorrow? Will I be manhandled? Thinking of tomorrow, I am not able to sleep.

Arnav was unsure of why she was having mood swings. Sometimes she looks happy with him and sometimes angry. Sometimes she feels like venting her tears to him as if he is the only person on earth who understands her. He at the corner of his heart felt the fact to be true. Imagining being in her situation was really difficult for him. Her mothers sins and she discovering that she was adopted and her father to be someone else and that idiotic Thakur and now this forest.

Arnav(sensing her pain): Khushi, I am there with you.

Khushi(turning to his side): What will you do?

Arnav turned to her side and she had her heartbeat high. They were laying close to each other. He had his head resting in his palm making a triangle facing her. Khushi was lying up straight breathing heavily.

Arnav: Khushi I want to say something to you. But promise me that you won't loosen up.

Khushi: Yes.

Arnav: Khushi I already told you that I love you and what I did was the gravest mistake ever. I know that you are going through your worst times. But I too am a human being! I make mistakes. I will wait Khushi, for you to forgive me. No matter even if it takes years for me to wait. I will be waiting for your answer. I will wait for you to forgive me. And yeah, regarding tomorrow's case, I will not let them near you. It is first me and then it is you. I know you would say they will finish me off. But trust me I will not let your chaste down.
