26-Burning in your love

Kolkata

After Khushi and Abeer reached Kolkata,both took off for the ancestral house of Mr Ghosh..It was under the care of a relative brother of Mr Ghosh,as he was the only child,and he died childless. And Khushi was the heir to all the properties. So it was well maintained. After a rush night from Lucknow to Kolkata,both siblings fell asleep. Khushi had told Abeer something about Arnav and her past while the travel,that Abeer informed his grandfather..

It was likely 11 in the morning when Abeer heard a scream from Khushi's room. As his room was beside hers and it was a old house, without sound proofing..So Abeer rushed inside calling for Khushi. Khushi who was caught in a nightmare was woken up by the loud calls from Abeer. It took her few seconds and she rushed to open the door..

As soon as Khushi opened the door,she hugged Abeer and brust into tears. Abeer thought it was Kalavati again. But was it really.

"Bhaiya,she would kill them again,they would kill them. They would again leave me alone. Please tell him,tell him to not look at her,to not trust her..Please"Khushi just continued to repeat it again and again..

Abeer could not understand who would kill them,who were they. Then he thought may be Khushi was having nightmares about Kalavati's murder of their Aunty and Uncle..

But why would Khushi beg to tell them to not trust Kalavati. Actually Kalavati's truth was out before Khushi even became an adult. So it was not the case. Then what was Khushi talking about..

Khushi calmed down after what felt like an eternity..Then she just smiled slightly and told Abeer she was okay. Abeer though reluctant,left..

Both siblings had their lunch and rested for the day. As Abeer had just finished his trip,he didnot have much work. And from what he heard from Khushi,Arnav would definitely look for Khushi and Khushi didnot want to be found out. She knew Arnav would come for her.Yet she wanted to hide until she can. At least until Arnav misses her enough..

That's what Khushi told Abeer. But Abeer knew something must be going on for Khushi to be this broken. And Arnav and Khushi never fought before. From what he got from his family,Khushi was silent,sad from the day before. So something was going on and no one knew what.Abeer was determined to close that chapter for once and all,if it could break his sister like that..

Khushi was not ready to open up what was hurting her so much. She was so silent that it was scary. Gone was the happy bird. In her place stood the haunted person of past. Continuous nightmares became daily occurance and Abeer had to decide to sleep on the sofa of the same room,because one time he saw Khushi looking at the knife with such desire that he felt she might kill herself..

A week of Khushi's life passed. For once she didnot call anyone, neither she opened her phone. She just asked Abeer about Raizadas. And Abeer through his aid,got some news to share with her..

They contacted their family through mails and the old phone in that house,owned by the caretaker..
