Arshi FF: Love always finds its way

Part 48 (Guilt)

Arnav was feeling low her tears, her pain was that all surrounded his mind. He purposely messaged Khushi instead of calling her as he was very well aware that she would identify through his voice that he was not in a good mood. He also knew that she must be worried about him being drenched in the rain so he had to first stop her from fretting so he messaged her but in actual he had lied to her. He hasn't even changed his clothes. He felt so much baffled by his own self he wanted to punish himself but what should he do? He just can't kill himself his life belonged to her but for the moment he wanted to do something with himself. "What should I do? " he was feeling annoyed. It was still raining. He didn't know what exactly got into his mind. He came out of his room and stood at poolside motionless. He decided that his punishment would be to deteriorate his health. There was no one at home so who would stop him from getting drenched in such a heavy rain if not emotionally he would hurt himself by affecting his health. Also, Khushi had to go to N.K.'s house so they won't meet so she won't know it and he will be successful in punishing himself. It was almost one hour he was still standing there the downpour hadn't stopped yet. Slowly he felt dizzy but still, he paid no heed he was completely drenched. He felt cold but he wasn't moving an inch. He felt drowsy and his head started to spin as he was drained both physically and emotionally. He held his head and soon fell unconscious.

It was morning the alarm rang waking up Khushi. Today felt different she smiled as she woke up. She thought to give him a call she needs to know how he was feeling now."He might be sleeping. I will freshen up then will give him a call or who knows he might give me a call" she thought.

After some time she came out bathing. She was getting ready when her phone rang she expected it be of him but it was Aman. "Hello, bhai Good Morning"

"Good morning, Are you ready we are going together? I will pick you in an hour. Okay with you?" Aman asked

"Yeah sure, Bhai I am getting another call so I will hang up," she said.

It was from N.K.

Somewhere she was expecting his call and here he was not giving her a call. N.K. gave her a call just to remind her to be on time to which she assured him that she would be reaching soon with Aman.

She checked her inbox to see if he had dropped a message or something. I can also give him a call a big deal. But then he will think I am desperate which I can't show him. She was talking to herself. She decided to wait for some more time until she prepares breakfast. Some more time passed but there was no call. She felt disappointed it wasn't such a big issue as such it was just a call she tried explaining herself but when had she been patient when it was about him? She picked up her phone and dialled his number but he wasn't answering she gave him 2-3 calls but again he didn't answer.

"He is alone at home and isn't picking up the phone. Is he sleeping till now but he gets up early. I am bothering unnecessarily he must be alright. Yesterday also he gave you a call he will call just stop overthinking Khushi."Some five minutes passed but he hasn't given a call yet. She was feeling something was not right her sixth sense was telling her there was something yesterday also he sounded low it was not just because of cold and what about it is he ill? She gave him another call but again there was no answer. She had no other number to contact him. What should she do? She called Aman Hello, bhai Arnav isn't picking up my call will you call him, please?

If he is not picking your call why would he pick my call he said teasingly.

I am serious bhai please you have any other number of his? she asked.

Yeah, I have his landline number I will text you said, Aman, as he cuts the call.

She receives his number and gives a call on Landline.
