And You Became My Destiny...(✅)

Part 7

'What you want to talk about Druhv?'

' Actually I wanted to ask you something..??'

' Yeah..'

' You said he was your neighbor but he used to live near Laxmi Nagar.. Far away from Shantivan?'
She sighed, she doesn't have courage to go to the point directly...

With a uncomfortable voice and looking to his lap, he said..' he was our neighbor when we used to live with our parents.. '

' Oh.. ' he lay down.. Seating on the bed, she started stroking his hair..' Arnav ji.. Di called today, she invited us for a havan day after tomorrow ..'
Removing her hand from his hair.. He seat up.. ' Khushi please.. You know my answer.. '
' Arnav ji please, listen to me.. Why are you keeping grudges against a death person..'

Clenching his teeth with a very irritated voice he said..' Khushi stop and put that in your mind once and for all.. I don't have anything to do with that man.. I broke my relationship with him the day he beatread my mother.. '

Khushi looked down.. Arnav said again with anger,' I am not going to attend anything related to him..did you get that? You can go if you want.. '..
' Arnav ji, di is really... ' cutting her off rudly he said.' End of discussion khushi.. Don't you get that ? ' he said the last sentence with a louder voice and laid down turning his back twoards her, switching off the bed side table light..

After few minutes, laying down she hugged him from behind... He sighed, turning twoards her, he pulled her to his chest, caressing her hair, he said,' sorry baby, I was rude to you..'

she shook her head in no.. He said with lots of anger.. ' I hate this man khushi, he not only ruined my mother's life but also he ruined my childhood.. I will never ever forgive him..' he clutched his another hand.. Holding his fist she said..

' please calm down.. '
' I will never forgive him, I can't..' a slight tear was shining in his eyes..
' it's OK..you must be tired.. Sleep..'
' Yeah let's sleep.. '

Khushi sighed, he is so disturb and if he hates his own father this much.. how he is going to react to her revelation .. Will he feel betrayed.. I should have told everything much earlier but whatever I can't make him more sad now.. I will talk to him later.. Khushi thought.. Soon she realized he dozed into sleep but sleep is far away from her eyes.. Why is she feeling so restless as if something going to happen..

With a sudden jerk Arnav got up in the bed.. Feeling his movement khushi also sat in the bed worriedly..
' what happened Arnav ji.. Did you see any bad dream..' Arnav keeps breathing heavily..
' hmmm..'
' do you want water..'
' No..' he stands up to leave. Khushi also tried to come out of bed, Arnav said, .. ' Khushi I want to be alone for a while..'

She just nodded and sat back to the bed.. Getting out of the room he stands near the glass window of their living room.. So much light outside from high-rise buildings to roadside vendors but why it still feels dark. As if no amount of light is enough to lighten up the darkness he is feeling inside. Is really death end of everything, just because he is death is his did also died.. The consequences of the actions remain still even if the doer is no more.. How can he forget that sad face of his mother, how can he forgets those pitty eyes of people on him and his sister and specialty how he will ever forget those comments..

'bechara Bap ne chor dia..'

Yes he was the bechara, how can he forgive him, no he can't he won't with that thought he went to bed, khushi was wide awake but she didn't show any movement, neither he ask anything.. Both of them lay down on their own side fighting their own turmoil known yet unknown to each other...

Next Morning

The beautiful aroma from the kitchen was increasing her hunger..

With a smile and slow steps she entered the kitchen, Arnav said, ' Hey beautiful, Good Morning.'
' God morning Arnav ji.. What are you making..'
' Spanish omelet and waffles.. Chalega?'
' Dorega.. Let me cut some fruits..'

' No.. Today's breakfast is my duty.. You go and relax..'
'it's OK.. I will just cut the fruits..' saying that she took the knife, Arnav gets annoyed and said, ' I said, No..' he tried to grab the knife from her hand at the same time she tried to stop him with her other hand, in that process the edge of the knife hurts khushi's palm..' ahhh... Uff''..

Arnav got shocked seeing blood in her hand, ' ohh noo..' he took her to the nearest sink and put cold water on her cut, though the cut was small, blood was not stopping.. He went to their room and bought a bandage for her, while he put the bandage on her plam, he said 'I am so sorry jaan, because of me you got hurt..'

'it's OK..'

' it's not, I should not have tried to grab the knife.. I don't know where my mind was, I am so sorry baby..'

' it's OK Arnav ji, both of us should have been careful with knife but we didn't..'

' it's all my fault.. Sorry jaan..' caressing her hand he asked.,'Is it hurting?'

She nodded yes, he sighed and said, ' Oh God.. What the hell I did..'

' it's OK Arnav ji, I know you will never ever intentionally hurt me but still I got hurt..' he looked at her surprisingly, he can feel the change of her tone.. She continued,' sometimes knowingly or unknowingly we hurt the other person and later regret that actions and keep thinking that we should not have behaved like that at that moment but the damage is already done..'

He clearly understood what she is trying to imply here, leaving her hand he said,' khushi I am really sorry for behaving irrationally at that moment, I should have never tried to grab the knife from your hand, I was an idiot to do that but khushi if you are trying to imply this situation somewhere else you are sadly mistaking..'

' did I say anything? '

' You don't need to.. I am not a kid khushi, I understand what are you trying to make me understand but what he did was not a mistake, he chose to do it and by killing him self what he was trying to prove, by doing such a selfish act he only created more trouble for us. He haven't thought once about the children he is living behind.. '

' May be he was not trying to prove anything, may be he was so guilty, may be it was so hard for him that he preferred dying than living.. '

' Enough..' he shouts, khushi felt little jerk, with his loud voice ..' Do you hear yourself, you are comparing this mere accident with a cheating which he did with full scene.. Unbelievable.. '

' I am not saying you to accept his behavior, what happened was unfortunate and unforgivable, I am saying to let it go for yourself.. May be your mother will be happy knowing that you make a peace for yourself.. I saw you last year during this day how you were suffering, you even told me how you were fond of your father and how you are afraid of being a father.. Do you think any of your parents will be happy seeing you like this and Arnav ji, not for them because of that one incident you cut of your whole childhood, you don't even cherish your good memories, may be If you make little space in your heart for forgiveness it will give you little peace. '

' why are you so stubborn khushi.. Why are you so adamant... Why dammit.. '

' Arnav ji please.. '

Without listening to her he moved twoards dinning room with their breakfast..

Why is she so desperate to convince him, is she hoping if he can make peace with something as big as that, he will accept her truth easily, khushi sighed, she can't see him like this but she really wants him to come out of this trauma and little forgiveness is the only way he can do it..

To be continued...
