Tujhme Rab dikhta Hey

Six

Madhumati was furious thinking that it was Khushi who angered the Raizadas. She walked inside the room of Khushi like a mad bull. But the sight there just left her feeling devastated..

Khushi sat there leaning on the leg of the bed. Her eyes were blank. Blood drops were falling from her wounded wrist. The red and blue glass bangles she had worn were broken. A piece had pierced her wrist..

She was looking like a rag doll,thrown after being used..

"Titaliya .What happened to you?"Madhumati cried out and it made Sashi,who was still stunned with the happenings,run inside..

Madhumati walked closer to Khushi careful of the broken glass pieces. She shook her to make her come back to sense..

"Titli..Pari..What happened? Did Arnav do soemthing? Did he touch you?"Sashi asked fearing against the worst..

But Khushi was all silent..She got up from the floor. Then looked for something. Then walked out. Sashi and Madhumati stood there silent..She came back with a broom and a garbage collector. Then carefully kept picked up the glass pieces. Throwing those,she walked inside bathroom..

She picked up a twizer inside the box and pulled out the glass piece. Then cleaning it,she bandaged it herself..Then taking a change of clothes she walked back into the washroom.

She came out changing her home clothes. Simple salwar Kamiz..

Madhumati and Sashi watched as she walked to the fridge and took some greens. Cutting them she cooked her favorite food. Sambhar Rice.. And trio ate in silence..

Everything went normal. She gave her father his milk and medicine. Have her buaji head massage. Then bid them good night..

Madhumati looked at Sashi hoping that he would tell Khushi to sleep with her. But Sashi was quite. He just looked at his Pari..

"Sashi..Why did not you ask Khushi to sleep with me tonight? What if she does something?"asked Madhumati furious..

"Jiji..Why would Khushi do something?What has happened?"asked Sashi..

"Babua..Khushi loves him. Did you forget Anjali bitiya's words that day when she had come home?"asked Madhu now preplexed..

"Jiji..Did Khushi tell you that she loves him? No na. Then according to her,we donot know about her relationship with Arnav. Why would she hurt us for him then?"asked Sashi..

He understood what was going through his daughter"s head,when he saw her cook. She was hurt,broken. Yet she was trying her best to be strong for them. To not show them her weak ,fragile side. Then why would they see it.

Madhumati finally understood..

Still the night was restless for the trip. Sashi and Madhumati could hear her cries,her broken whimper the whole night. Still both stayed strong. She had to cross this night. She must..

Khushi called her ears with both of her hands as the words of Arnav Singh Raizada kept repeating itself. At moments she could hear his laughter mocking at her. Her eyes were burning from crying. Her heart was hurting. All she could do is tell herself,no it's not true. It's all an imagination. She was being over dramatic. Yet the wound in her wrist,the blocked number,the unseen messages,everything was telling her,it was true..

Every damn thing she was feeling was true..
