Selfish Desires

chapter 24

Chapter 24

The night was cool and serene as Arjun and Kavya found themselves alone on the balcony, away from prying eyes and the chaos of the roka ceremony. Arjun couldn't contain his frustration and sadness any longer, and he turned to Kavya with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Kavya, I can't bear to see you getting engaged to someone like Akhil. It's tearing me apart inside,whatnonsenseisgoingdownstairs" Arjun said, his voice laced with desperation.

"It's my roka.." kavya answered.

"Do hell with your roka??"Arjun spat on her.

  "Arjun, I understand how you feel, but you have to understand my situation too. Akhil might not be the one I love, but he's a safe choice for me.  You are just my father's employee, and marrying him aligns with my family's status and reputation."

Arjun's heart sank at her words, feeling the weight of their differences in status and society pressing down on them. " no... it can't be true.it's not my Kavya.  I don't care about your family's status or reputation. I just want to be with you."

Kavya brace herself. "This is real Kavya...I know we were dating so what?? It's not first relationship of yours or not mine"

"Shut up..i know you are lying..no person changes overnight like this..is anything happened someone said you something...
You were crazy for me..madly in love with me.."

"Arjun..you saw right. .i love orphanage kids but i don't adopt them and  bring them to my house..
I think this gives you the reality check well.."

Arjun is broken but more than that he is angry and frustrated seeing this side of the girl whom he started loving..

"Arjun,i know I got carry away emotions very much same happened again when I'm with you..u talk about such things which  i should not said..
I didn't realise  it till my friends knock some  semse.."

Arjun's eyes glistened with unshed tears as he looked into Kavya's eyes.

"I feel whatever happens with us. Should be close chapter..i will go downstairs. ."she about to leave when Arjun pull her and pin her so closed to the wall.

It's almost bang on her head "aah..Arjun..it's paining.."kavya shout in pain.

"Stop the nonsense ..you can't get away from me by insulting me..and what pain..it's nothing infront of the pain you causing me.."

"You are crossing your limit,don't forget who am i? I can jail you in any minutes.."

"Kavya,why are you doing this to me??don't you love me??we were so happy before going.."

"But happiness comes with price tags..which you can't afford .. and even if i love you do you think my father will accept you as son in law.."Arjun looks her closing.

"Or if he don't agree. Do you think i will leave my everything on it..
Big no Arjun Karmarkar.."

"Let's end it on good note..." saying that kavya push arjun badly and dash her hand in table. Its hits his hand badly but he don't feels pains as the pain he is feeling  in his heart.

Kavya see his hand but it's not move her a little bit..she walked aways from  there. Arjun can't believe  she is Kavya..how fail he were to recognise her..he  don't understand why Kavya would do this to him. He thought she loved him

(Mujhe toh Arjun ki dill tut ne ke awan yahan tak sunai de rahe hai)

As Arjun descended the stairs, his heart heavy with disappointment and hurt, he was met by Arvind, Kavya's father. Arvind couldn't see the pain written all over Arjun's face and he gently handed him a plate of sweets.
