WHEN THE ROYAL BOWED DOWN TO LOVE(COMPLETED) #ICA

BEAST STRIKES BACK

Arnav was startled by her action but more than that he was worried.

If he had been that selfish king of past, he would have surely by now burnt her in his anger for insulting him in such a way but then, now, the things had changed, feelings had changed and most important, the selfish person had changed.

Reaching her quickly, he tried to touch her cheeks only to get a rough slap on his palms.

Khushi was covered with sweat and was shivering. Not paying any heed to her rejection, he took her in his arms and began rocking her.

Moments later, he could feel her relaxing. He voluntarily came out of the hug and raised her chin-up. Closing his eyes with guilt, he couldn't do anything but loath upon his demonish way of past.

The terrifying look her eyes gave was answer to all of his query.Staggering behind with hurt and disgust, he stood in a corner. He dreaded to touch her now. How will he?

When once he almost forced himself upon her?

How would he meet her eyes or touch her when he initiated the next step in their relationship without even making it an actual relationship?

How could he touch her when he didn't do anything to heal his own given scars which had wounded her soul and not only her heart and mind.

He stood quietly, pondering, giving her enough time to come around. He won't touch her but then he won't even leave her like always he used to. He is no more a coward. He is Her Man. He would heal her, he would treat every scar, he would fill her soul with happiness. Yes, he will.

Determination shown in his eyes and body language. This time, the King's passion won't overshadow a Husband's love. This time, he would make his selfishness bow down infront of his love.

Khushi sat still on her place. Tears prickling her eyes but dare she let them fall. No, she won't. But she couldn't help, this time, accusing her fate.

Why?

Why everytime the beast of her past snatches and swallows every happiness of her present?

Why can't she just move on?

Is it because, her man never tried to heal his given pain?

Is it because she did a sin by making a joke of sacred bond called marriage by a secret childhood marriage?

But, then, it was never a joke but biggest blissful bond of her life.

Where?

Where the hell did she go wrong to suffer all these?

She bunched herself and left out a cry, a cry loud enough to bring a crack in her husband's heart who was standing some ten inches away from her in the same room.

Because her condition and situation resembled to to the Deer.  It has the smell of Kasturi(musk) within it but throughout it's life, The Deer keeps finding it running here and there in the forest, Still couldn't find it because it is just not aware that the smell it is being crazy for resides with it.

Arnav saw Khushi on the verge of a nerve breakdown admist the whirlwind of hell world emotions and he realised he had had enough played a role of a silent support being under the conception that it would really help.

But then, he, who himself, was sandwiched between guilt and fury and had literally begun to wither couldn't be an actual help without his harshness. Her shivering form, her devasted state had taken a toll on her Godzu.

He felt angst and agony on seeing her in a weak state. She is a fighter. He won't let her be weak to shed tears upon wounds of past.

Reaching her in two long strides and yanking her enough for their breathe to collide, he literally Spitted venom-
