Reality Check ✔

Part 10

Dedicated to all my readers...

Birds started chirping, sunrays disturbs arnav who was sleeping on the garden floor. Slowly he opens his eyes by placing his hands on face trying to avoid sunrays. He steadily got up from the floor and roams his eyes here and there to notice his surroundings. Gradually, yesterday events start playing in his mind, slowly put his hand in pant pocket & takes mangalsutra out. He stares it for some time and sighed put it back thinking, "Today onwards there is no "Khushi" in my life. I have to live alone for whole life. Can't he and khushi start a new life? Don't i deserve a second chance? Maybe this is the end of my life" his thoughts are ended by shrill of ringtone. He saw the caller id 'Nk calling' and picks it....

Arnav: Hello....

NK: What the hell are you doing nannav? I am calling you from past 2 days but you didn't even once thought to attend it, said in one breath angrily.

Arnav was taken aback for one second, "I kinda busy nk" said weakly.

NK notices arnav's tired voice and asks "what happened nannav? your voice seems to be dull"

Arnav: oh nothing nk, i am asleep when you called me that's all.

NK: nannav did you said anything like, khushiji is a mistake?

Arnav: What the??? Why will i tell that? i love her nk, she is my life.

NK: You are saying you didn't tell that but khushiji says another story.

Arnav: What she said? asked curiously.

NK narrates his whole conversation with khushi "I think some misunderstanding happened? You go talk to her"

Arnav: She is right, nothing is going to change nk leave it. you concentrate on your work, mumbled in a distant voice. (his mind is not in state to think when did he said that)

NK: What? How can you easily give up nannav? If you love her then you have to fight for your love not to give up.

Arnav: It's a waste of time. If she loves me then it is worth to fight, but not now she doesn't love me, said the fact.

NK angrily tells "You know what, you both are thick headed and have full of ego, you both know you love each other but not ready to fight for it or accept it. Just tell me arnav if she marries someone then, will you able to take it? Will you live your whole life knowing your love is with someone else?

Arnav: I can't take it, but if she is happy with someone other than me then i am ready to sacrifice my love. You don't feel bad, just live your life not bother about me like others, said with sadly and cuts the call.

Nk sighed seeing the phone which was disconnected a few minutes back. What can he do when these love birds are hell bent on destroying their own life. He decided to leave it in fate if destiny wants, then surely one day they both will unite, thinking this went for his work.

Here in India, arnav went directly to his room and hit the bed. When he reached home there was no one in living room, he thought all are sleeping not knowing they all are busy enjoying their life.

In bus, Raizada's & Gupta's are enjoying their ride by singing, teasing, pulling each other legs. At first, Khushi is reluctant to come but later after a lot of consoling and cajoling from payal, she agreed. Anjali also warmly welcomed her. So all are happy heartfully & riding towards their destination not having any idea of how their ignorance going to push arnav to edge.

They reached their picnic spot. One by one gets down from the bus. Khushi and anjali are the ones who are super excited.

Khushi: This place is amazing haaina di, jiji.
