TS: Useless Regret

TS – Useless Regret
Part 3
By Sankadevi_Lg

Khushi recovered fully from her injuries. She also went to doctor for final check and took MRI for her brain. Everything was become normal except her leg, scar on her face and pain in her heart. She became a silent girl. She concentrated more on her studies and maintained distance from Arnav and NK. She doesn’t want to hurt her heart anymore. She knew... she knew that if she is near to Arnav then she will lose her senses and confess her feelings to him. And she knew he will agree her confession – not with love, but with guilt and pity. She never wanted that to happen. So, she kept herself far from them.

Arnav and NK tried a lot to talk with her, but in vain. Every day, Arnav tried his best to talk with her, to spend time with her. But she never engaged him like before. Both NK and Arnav felt the loss of their friend. Arnav felt guilty and regretted for not hearing her words that day. He felt guilty for not understand her fears, her pain. He cursed himself for being a fool. He loved her from his heart. But now, he lost his best friend let alone his love for a single mistake of his. He wished that he listened to her words. He wishes that he should have been in Khushi’s place in the accident. He wished he could turn the time back. He wished he would have confessed his feelings to her long back. He closed his eyes in pain, to see the smiling face of Khushi.

He opened his eyes hearing some teasing voices near him. Whatever scene unfolded before his eyes, boiled his blood. Some of the students teasing Khushi for her limp and scar on her face. He ran towards them and warned them to stay out of Khushi. He held Khushi close to him and said “She is my friend; don’t dare to mess with her. I’m warning you... stay out”

Khushi felt happy and sad at the same time... she felt happy and sad at the same time hearing him mentioning her as his ‘friend’. She sighed and thanked Arnav and went from there not hearing him. Arnav felt really hurt with Khushi’s behaviour.

He discussed with NK about his problem, not knowing what to do.

“Are you sure NK?”

“Of course Arnav. You already wasted a lot time, not any more. Don’t lose her Arnav. She is really best. Go and propose her. Don’t waste more time, you may regret later” NK encouraged him. Arnav planned everything to confess his feelings on this coming Sunday – his birthday.

Saturday evening when both Arnav and NK sat in canteen, after finishing their classes, they saw Khushi coming to them. They felt really happy to see her there, because after accident she stopped coming there where crowd will be.

NK almost ran to her and hugged her tightly.

“Oh God... Kuku... we missed you here. Thanks for coming. How are you? How is your day today?” asked NK fully excited, for which Khushi just smiled a little.

“I came here to talk with you two. I wanted to tell you something”

“Sure... come on...” NK led her to the table they sat.

“What’s the matter Khushi...? What you want to say? Why are you looking tensed?” asked Arnav not having good feeling in his heart.

“I wanted to say... that... I... I...” she don’t know how to say... she looked everywhere but not them.

Both NK and Arnav looked at each other sensing something wrong. NK held her shoulder and asked

“What is it Kuku...? Is everything fine?” his voice his full of concern

Nodding her head, she forwarded a paper towards them. Arnav immediately took that shocked to see the content of the paper.

“Appointment cum joining letter?”
