Pyaar ka rastha...nafrath se shuruvath(completed)(hatred to love: a flip)

chapter 36

Arnav started driving while Khushi was thinking only about Arnav. The drive continued silently. Neither of them started a conversation. After about 30 mins, they reached Khushi's place. Khushi was about to get down when Arnav started saying something, stopping her.

Arnav: Khushi... Be careful... If you feel like you were being followed by someone, just give me a call...ok....?

Khushi: But why do you care? Even if something happens to me and even if I die, what difference would it make to you?

Arnav: Shut up, Khushi. Do what I said. Just call me, if you feel someone suspicious.

Khushi didn't reply to Arnav. How could he remain calm when someone and that too Khushi ignored him.

Arnav: speak up dammit... I am talking to you.

Khushi: If I call you and if you get an important work to be attended at the same time, will you come to me leaving your work in middle?

Arnav(immediately): of course, dammit.

While Khushi was looking at Arnav as if questioning him why, Arnav realized what he just said and so he continued with his words.

Arnav: if it is not any plan of yours like today... but I hope that this time, you won't sketch any such plans.

Khushi looks at Arnav for few seconds and then answers.

Khushi: I hope such situation never arise where in I had to call you and we should meet again.

Arnav: Why? Won't you come to office, tomorrow? (Arnav said without remembering his own words)

Khushi: because you said me to resign and so I won't have to come to office again.

Before Arnav could even register those words and got to remember that those were his own words, Khushi got down the car and moved towards her home.

Arnav : Khushi....Khushi...

Arnav called Khushi twice but she never turned back. She got into her home and closed the doors. Arnav followed her and started calling her from outside.

Arnav(from outside): Look Khushi, I didn't mean those words. You could continue with your job, as usual if you want. Iam leaving now but hope I would see you at the office, tomorrow.

Arnav said those words through the open window and left the place while Khushi whose back faced Arnav until then, moved towards the window and watched Arnav getting into his car and driving back. After a while, she entered into her room without even hearing to Payal who was calling her continuously.

Khushi sat on her bed and started thinking about the series of incidents happened on that day. Payal entered in and kept her palm on Khushi's shoulder.

Payal: Khushi....(she called slowly)

Khushi didn't respond.

Payal(sitting beside Khushi): Khushi, tell me what happened? Why you came so early?

Khushi hugged Payal tightly and started crying. Payal was surprised due to that sudden gesture of Khushi. Payal started caressing Khushi's hair and tried to calm down Khushi.

Payal: ssshh.... Calm down Khushi. I am here na....tell me what happened?

Khushi(hugging Payal and wiping her own tears): I don't know that things would turn out like this, jiji... otherwise I would have never made such a plan. Whatever I have done is to make Anjaliji happy and I don't have any intention other than seeing her happy.

Payal(breaking the hug): Khushi, explain me the whole thing now (Payal commanded).

Khushi explained Payal about her plan, how it backfired and finally how they saved Anjali. But Khushi just informed that Arnav was so angry on her without giving any extra information to Payal.
