Part 10: My Fiance

Khushi felt very bad, as Arnav walked out of her. It was the second time he was walking away not understanding her again.

How much time will be walk away without even letting her speak.

He should know her stance on why she did it right ?

But no, he never listened and it pissed her off a bit.

Yes she knows, this is the worst decision, at that time she didn't have any other go. If she hadn't pulled anything adverse, she would have been that man's wife by now.

That creepy man, urgh, his touch, his expression still disgust her to the core.

She still now feels his touch and she doesn't like it even a bit.

It was not the only option she had, but this was the best option at that point.

If not for her feelings, she at least believed that her life did matter to them

But then today that misconception is also clear. They won't mind if she is dead.

She never existed to them and will never be so, she concluded firmly. Her heart got this very clearly today and she finally can walk away clearly from them, without any remorse.

She thought to herself.

" Khushi, he is just angry with you," consoled Payal.

" I understand. But he can't walk away from me like this," said Khushi with teary eyes.

" He does this every time Bhabi. Just walk away without knowing my perception. He never asks me for any explanation," said Khushi wiping her tears.

" Do you freaking understand this time you wouldn't have been alive to give me an explanation," he shouted from the entrance of the door.

Once he exited the room, he felt his heart pricking with a thousand needles for pouring out harsh words and he decided to walk in. But then her words made him even more angry.

He walked inside and Payal decided to go outside to give the couple, their privacy.

" What if something happen to you ? What if you were not there to give this explanation now Khushi ?" he asked bluntly and she felt short of her words.

" Just few minutes delay and you would had a severe heamorage. I would have lost you. Do you know what it means ?" He was vulnerable with tears pooling from his eyes.

Khushi got up from the bed with difficult and took slow steps towards him. Her whole body was crying in weakness as heavy blood loss, and transfusion had made her feel so weaker.

He immediately stepped forward held her as he did notice her shaking in tiredness.

She placed her head on his chest and breathed in and out.

" I am sorry, I am sorry Arnav," she whispered.

" I am safe, I am sound, I am with you. Don't worry," she added and he simply hugged her tightly, wrapping his hands on her waist.

" I know Arnav, more than me, you are feeling hurt for the stunt I had pulled, but I was helpless. I didn't had any other go, then. If I had a phone, I would have contacted first you, but they took all my thing and made me in house arrest, "

" And that Prakash, he misbehaved with me," she added and Arnav felt frozen hearing someone behaved bad with his Khushi.

" What did he do ?" asked Arnav with anger bubbling in his nerves where he released Khushi from his hug and cupped her face.

" He stared at me badly, and forcefully held my cheeks in his hand. I felt very uncomfortable, and highly insecured. It was like he was eating me with his gaze. It was horrible," said Khushi.
