DEAR HEALER-OUR EPHEMERAL MARRIAGE

CHAPTER 30- RETURNING THE FAVOR

Khushi's eyes were searched him through the crowd, while her heart thudding hard.. 'Did he leave already?'

Did he just leave this place or did he decide leave all together? 'Yes I'm wrong.. Scold me.. Punish me.. Slap me if you.. But don't leave me.. "She begged in her as she searched for him..

Just a night ago, they were promising lifetime together.. Now everything is ruined by her.. Her own stupidity cost her everything.

His eyes held such sadness when he uttered..

" Why...? You too.. Decide to betray me?"

What could she say to console his broken heart when she was the cause of it? 'I'm really sorry.. Raghu.. Where are you.. You can't leave behind like this..' Her heart cried out.. As she walks towards the terrace..

A man was standing there looking at the stars, wearing black coat... She smile in relief.. He is still here... "Raghu.." She walked up to him as tears flooding her eyes and blurring her vision..

"Raghu..." She stopped seeing his short hair.. Empty left ear.. It's not her Raghu.. His grown hair that likes to run her fingers through.. His thug like silver earring that bit on playfully last night are not on this man..

He turned and gave her an evil smile," Hi.. I see, looking for someone? Who.. Oh.. Rathore? I saw him getting into his car and drove off.." He laughed at end.. "No wonder.. No wonder you married him suddenly.. Everything is for drama.. What husband leaves his wife behind like that?"

"You have no rights to talk of my husband!" Khushi reprimanded him coldly.

The word 'husband' made Arnav chuckled.
Khushi frowns, "What are laughing for!?"

"Biggest joke of the year.. Is your marriage haina..?" He calls her fake marriage out.

Khushi was shocked to hear it from his mouth, she took a step back, wanting to leave the place immediately being alone with him, but he stopped her hold onto her wrist tightly..

" How much did he paid you? "He asked in husky voice," What nonsense are you speaking?! Let me go!"She sputtered as she struggled against his strength.

His eyes redden," I loved you Khushi.. Yes I misunderstood you but.. To think you are stooping this low and marrying him for money is just ridiculous.. Tell me how much he paid you, I will throw the money tenfold on his face and get you back."

"You're disgusting!" she bit back, her voice rising as she spoke, the more his grip tightened.

"Not as much as you and that Rathore.. A contract marriage but those mark on that day... Says otherwise, how could you Khushi? Give yourself to someone like him? He is like a thug in industry.. That rogue did he force you?" Arvad asked dangerously.

"YOU'RE THE ONE FORCING ME! LET MY HAND GO NOW! she yelled, letting her rage and sorrow seep out, tears streaking her face.she yelled, letting her rage and sorrow seep out, tears streaking her face.

" Force? Him...? "
That hurt look in Rathore's eyes a while ago rended her heart to pieces, even thinking back now. He was so genuine, so caring all these months of their marriage.. And she gifted him a betrayal in return.

Arnav saw the door opening.. She stood facing him so she had no idea. Before she do anything, Arnav pulled her in to his arms and embrace her tightly. "I knew Khushi.. You still love me.. Once the contract ends we can be together.." His words were confusing, Total contrast to what he was saying a moment ago..

"Khushi?" A hoerse voice ranged at the terrace, "Raghu.." She mumbled, in shock.. She pushed Arnav away from her, Arnav also didn't protest.. Smirk at the misunderstanding he just created..
