The Sinner- 8

Raizada Mansion..

Delhi..

" It's time to go..." The deep, concerned voice boomed from behind.. Khushi turned and looked at the man in hoody, smiling she handed over her small bag to him and wave back to those persons who at least considered her as a human being while staying in this house.

Khushi crossed the doorway and looked ahead..

She is going towards a bright future leaving behind the dark nightmare of her life...

***************

One year four Months later..

Raizada Mansion...

Arnav was standing before the poolside looking at the cool water.. The breeze, the fragrance of flowers, the shining star none are able to sooth Arnav's burning heart..

Arnav is burning in remorse, pain, hurt, abandonment, loneliness since last one year four months.. 1 year 4 agonizing months when Khushi had left him.. Not only him but the entire Delhi.. She did not even went to her maternal house.

Arnav felt the shiver once again when he remembered the day he and the rest of the Raizada's find out that Khushi had left Shantivan.

Flashback...

Day after Anjali's Delivery..

1 year 4 months ago..

Arnav was driving back towards Shantivan with Anjali and the newborn baby.. Yesterday, Arnav and Manorama stayed with Anjali in the hospital and today, they are taking the Raizada Princess and her daughter home.

Arnav was a little restless.. He was not feeling well since yesterday.. No.. not because of any physical illness but the mental agony he was feeling.. Khushi had not received his phone.. Whenever he called either it switched off or not reachable.. the restlessness and suffocation he is feeling was killing him.. But for the sake of his sister he is keeping the smile on his face..

But when his nani and other family members reached Shantivan, he had demanded to talk with Khushi.. But to her surprise, his nani told him to keep his calm for a day and talk with her face to face.. Arnav was adamant but Devyani was strict and finally Arnav had to give up.

So, he is bearing the pain for last 1 day, the pain of not conversing with Khushi, not seeing her.

Now Arnav was too restless to meet with Khushi.. a part of him was feeling that something bad is going to happen, that he is going to lose big time.. Soon they reached to Shantivan.. Arnav immediately came out from the car and open the door for Anjali.. Before Anjali could come out, Arnav hold the little baby in his protected arms.

Soon they reached before the big entrance door of Shantivan and as if getting the clue the door open with all the Raizada members standing before them..

Manorama Raizada welcomed Anjali with the new born with all the rituals..

" Welcome bitiya to your home.. Welcome little princess.." Manorama said.. Though she and the other members were smiling but the smile never reached their eyes.
