Arnav-Khushi-Life (Completed)

Part 63

Part 63:

Arnav sat there completely in lost state. How much ever he tried to forget the happenings, they are kept ringing in his mind. All the time, he saw only Khushi's face. Unable to control his pain, he left from home and went for a long drive. After spending hours outside, he came back to home at midnight. When he is entering inside the house, he saw Aman coming towards their house from his. So, without entering the house he walked to garden and sat on the couch. Aman came there and sat beside him without talking anything. Suddenly Aman felt Arnav's head on his shoulder. Sighing deeply he looked at tired Arnav

"This is high time Arnav. It's already month from her departure. You have to be strong for us. I can't see you like this Arnav. I know how much you are missing her. But do you think she will accept if you keep going into shell? No Arnav... she never does that. Please Arnav... come back to us, be normal, and be our Arnav... not this ASR. Please..." tears rolled from Aman's eyes. He already lost his sister; he doesn't want to lose his best friend.

"Hmm... I can't Aman. I'm not able to forget her. When I see you or mom, my heart will remember her. You know why? because she is the person where I can be at peace after Mom and you. When I was with her, I never felt tensed. She always gave me solace. In fact she gave me strength. She was the reason I decide to participate in YF. You know Aman, when I saw her first time; I was like... like a fool..." Arnav smiled thinking about Khushi completely lost "That day, I came to know how nice she is at heart. I had to hop the bus to go to college. Like an idiot I gave 1000 rupees note for 14 rupees ticket. She was the angel who saved me from being thrown from bus. She gave the change to conductor and helped me to continue my journey. Who will do that Aman? Who will help one stranger? She is the girl who given me immense relaxation with just one smile. I can't forget her Aman. I'm hers, there won't be any change in that" said Arnav

"But Arnav... How many days? You do have a life; don't you think your family will be shattered after seeing you living all your life alone? Do you think we don't care for you? Do you think we can see you like this? Do you think Khushi will accept this? No Arnav... she won't. At least for her you have to move on in your life. Think about this... we want your happiness Arnav, nothing else"

"Then don't ask me to move on Aman. I am happy with her and her things and her memories. Moreover If I'm alive then she will be definitely alive somewhere. She will come to me. She won't leave me like this. I know my Khushi. She will never leave me. She will come back one day. I will wait till that" said Arnav

"Stop this nonsense Arnav. Why can't you understand that she is no more... SHE IS DEAD DAMN IT... Come out of this trance... see the happenings... she left us... she cheated us... she never bothered about us... she is... she is..." Aman burst out in crying.

Arnav immediately hugged Aman and said "Shh... Aman...Why can't you all understand Aman? She is not a cheater, she didn't leave us. She is an Angel Aman. Angels never cheats anybody or they never will leave us. She is precious Aman... she is our Khushi... our Choti... see... we lost her in our childhood once... but didn't she come back to us? Like that she will come again. Trust me Aman... she is alive... I know... my heart says this. She is alive Aman... if she is dead, then I would have died by now. Don't worry, she will come to us. Relax Aman... please... control yourself... please Aman... please...." Both friends hugged each other crying their heart out in the process of searching for the solace to their tired souls.

Next day – breakfast table

"Chote... we want to talk with you"

"I know... what you all wanted to talk. But it will not happen. So, you better not to talk with me in this matter. I can't change my mind in this. She was and she is my life. She will remain like that. I can't give that place to any other girl or I can't spoil another innocent girl's life. So, I don't want anybody to talk about this matter again... that's final... no discussions. Do you understand?" said Arnav totally in ASR mode leaving everyone shocked.
