She ran outside the office leaving a shocked, stunned, confused Arnav behind. Picking up Acer she took an auto and headed straight towards RM. She had to meet her mishu for the last time, her daughter gul for the last time.

**

gul was crying bittering seeing her maah! Crying before her kissing her as if the world is going to end in sometime and all will die. She pouted and quivered her lips and was calling her Maah! Holding her chain.

"don't cry sweetheart, you are a stong girl no? don't cry baby" Khushi wiped gul's tears while misha hugged Khushi sideways.

"I don't believe it, Khushi! How can bhaiya send you to Delhi? Let me call him and talk to him.

Khushi pressed Misha's hand and stopped her from making her call Arnav. Wiping her tears Khushi continued "Mish, you know I am so looking forward to the trip, it's a big opertunity fro me you know" she said gulping down the lump formed inside her throat.

"Arnav ji has given me such a big responsibility. He has given me his delhi office to look after, isnot it a great news?".

"What about your responsibility towards Gul, Khushi?"

Khushi made a low face and clutched Gul more in her arms.

"Tum dono ho na" (you both are there for her no?)

"Khushi, are you sure you wanna go?"

"Ya Misha, I am really excited".

"I don't think so Khushi, if you were excited then you wouldnot look so sad".

"Oh, I am crying that's why you are thinking that I am sad?" see I am not anymore. Khushi erased the water marks.

Misha touched her cheeks, "Did bhaiya tell you anything Khushi? Did he force you to take this decision? Khushi you know you can tell me right?"

Khushi just hugged Misha to avoid any direct eye contact with her. She gulped her sorrow and said "Misha, let me go".

"Take care" misha brushed her hair with her palm.

Khushi was about to put Gul on Misha's lap when gul suddenly started howling.

**

Both misha and Khushi tried to stop her from crying like that but today gul did not seem to stop crying. The more Khushi kissed her the more she was crying. She was not letting her go at all. Gul clutched Khushi's locket and held it tight in her arm.

Khushi closed her eyes and unlocked the hook of the chain. She made her wear it and quickly ran outside the house bidding a final good bye to misha.

"what the hell aman" Arnav shouted. "did you check with the manager?"

Arnav disconnected the call frustratedly and ran his trembling fingers in between his hair.

"Where the hell are you khushi?"

Just when he was about to dial her number, his phone started blinking.

He looked at the phone "Mish calling"

He stared that the receiver for good 3 seconds and picked it up.

"Hey Mish".

"Hey bhaiya, can you give the phone to Khushi? Her phone is not rechable".

Arnav was really concerned now, "Her phone is unreachable?"

Misha frowned a little "Bhaiya, did not you go to drop Khushi in the station?"

"Station?"

"Bhaiya?"
