The Key to My Heart ✅

Chapter 16 Seperation

Unknowingly tears rolled down her cheeks in pain (due to head throbbing) and with love.

Aditya consoled her " Don't waste your precious tears on this dirt bag , princess"

Aarav hid behind Manvi worried about the consequences.

Arnav rushed out in anger , banging the door after him .

Days later,

Khushi had been discharged from the hospital and put on a one month bed side .

Aditya and Manvi went back to London promising to be there for Tara's wedding .

Khushi whined and complained like a child whose candy were stolen .

One month bed rest

Were the doctors nuts ?? She wondered .

Aarav noticed a lot between his mother and dad since the big fight.Dad hadn't met them , neither called them since he stormed out of Khushi's ward .Even when he tried to video chat with his dad , he rejects him and didnt RETURN his calls .

Tara and Nk's engagement were postponed to further one month's time , owing to Khushi's and Aarav's health .

(Much to Khushi's dismay )

Aarav carefully closed the door , leaving the highly medicated sleeping Khushi in their room, warmly tugged in with her favourite blanket . Descending downstairs, He saw Tara , gobbling her food , since she was late for work as always.

Tara seeing Aarav, gestured "How's di ??"

He gave her "thumbs up " indicating that she was fine.

Arnav gestured"I am bored.Can I come with you ????"

Tara hesitated "But champ , your Mummy won't allow ...."

Aarav did his not so famous pleading pout hoping to win over Tara .

How could one ignore such cuteness ??

"Fine.Come along ."

Aarav jumped of joy .He wanted to meet his dad and wanted answers.

Going to office , Aarav walked with Tara hand in hand . Being here several times , there wasn't any awkwardness around with Aarav .And everything he entered , the smiling receptionist always had candy for him.He would sometimes meet Akash mama and Nk uncle if they weren't busy .Aarav walked into Arnav's cabinet without knocking like a old habit .

Only to find a model trying to kiss his dad.!!!!!!!!!

Arnav was shocked to find Aarav .Damn it .He only told Aarav to feel at home and not to knock the door .The model got pissed for ruining the moment of privacy .

She had been trying to woo his heart for years but he never even glanced her .

"Don't you knock ??? Where are your manners ?? Haven't your parents taught you any ??"

Aarav was shocked and furious .How dare she try to kiss his dad and how dare she yell at him .How dare she talk about his parents .

Arnav too was hell furious.

"Natasha.Meet Aarav ..Aarav Singh Raizada, my son"

Natasha stood gaping at the new information .

ASR is married ??

He has a son ??

Drats !!

Double Drats !!

Aarav stood smirking as he watched her fumble her way out .

Aarav hugged his dad as soon as that lady left , surprising Arnav .

"What's wrong , Champ ?" He asked worried.

"Why didn't call us ?? Come see us ?? Why didnt you return my calls ??Don't you love us anymore " he bombarded Arnav with questions .

Arnav stood at the loss of words.

But Aditya's words rang again

"You dont deserve her .She deserves better .Neha deserves better than you and so does Aarav"

Aditya was right after all .He doesn't deserve them .They deserve someone better than him .

Thats why he tried his best to stay away from his Khushi and his son .

Though he couldn't even bear the thought of staying away from them but it will be better for them coz they truly deserve better .

Thats why he buried himself in work all these weeks .

But how could he explain it to Aarav ??

Arnav stood shocked when Aarav asked him that.

He tried to cover it and said "Nothing.I have just been a little busy"

Aarav kept his hands on his hips (reminding him of Khushi) "oh really .Dont lie daddy.All your major fashion shows were just last week and even Adi uncle signed off the contract on behalf of mom.So,don't tell me you had work ."

Arnav sat on his knees to match Aarav's height and took his hand,"I am sorry, Aarav.Why don't we have lunch together , like usual ?"
