Tumse Na Jaane Kyuin✓

Chapter: 6

"What are you doing?" Shashi gasped seeing Arnav crouching in front of him

"I don't.. Don't know what I could do to make you believe in the fact that I love Khushi more than anything in this whole world, (Chuckling dryly) I know my actions in the past haven't been.. Good. I've always been a jerk to her. I've always made fun of her beliefs and morals. I've always hurt her with my words.. And my actions. But, Would you believe me if I say none of this was intentional" Arnav looked hopefully at Shashi

Shashi looked at him blankly

"Probably.. I'm not worth your trust anymore. I am sorry for shattering your as well as her trust on me into pieces." Arnav apologized in a vulnerable low voice

"She is still not ready to accept the fact that you had left. That you'd not shown up at the altar" Shashi confided in him

"I don't know how to react to that honestly" Arnav mumbled audibly

"Well.. You should celebrate, You've successfully brought her to the point where her world revolves around you and now it's almost impossible for her to breath without you. You've succeeded in destroying her soul completely. So.. Shouldn't you be celebrating right now?"

"This.. Is what I had feared. Exactly this." Arnav said sadly

"Meine.. Apni zindagi ki sabse zaroori do auraton ko sirf isiliye kho dia Bauji, Kyunki unhone apni zindagi.. Apne wajood ko apna kabhi rehne hi nahi dia. Kyunki unki zindagiyan Unke patiyon ke ird-gird khoomti hai.. Meine kabhi nahi chaaha tha ki khushi.. Iss qadar bebus ho jaye.. Bauji. Khush kaise ho sakta huin mein uss ladki ko barbaad karke.. Jisne mujhe zindagi di hai. Celebrate kaise kar sakta huin mein.. Uska dil todkar jisne mere dil ko dhadakna sikhaaya hai (Babuji, I lost the two most important women of my life just because they never let their life, their existence to be their own.... Their lives revolve around their husbands only.... I have never wished Khushi to become this helpless.... Babuji, how can I be happy after destroying the very girl who gave me life?? How can I celebrate after breaking that girl's heart who taught my heart to beat??)"

"You're a convincing speaker Arnav, I must tell you that" Shashi said bitterly

"Mein usse mil sakta huin, Please? (Can I meet her, Please?)" Arnav asked

At the question, Every head in the hall snapped up in protest Except one.

"Aap saari zindagi mujhse nafrat kar sakte hain. Mein jaanta huin yeh nafrat kamaayi hai meine. Par aaj, Sirf aaj mujhe use dekhne dijiye, Ek baar. Please (You can hate me all your life. I know that I've earned your hatred. But today, Just today let me see her. Just once. Please)" Arnav pleaded

"Chaliye Arnav bhai.. Woh kamre mein hai(Come Arnav bhai.. She's in the room)" Payal stood up from her place to escort Arnav towards Khushi's room

Shashi looked at her astonished

"Babuji.. Woh bacchi toot gayi hai, Aur usse theek karne ka eklauta tareeqa hai Arnav bhai ka usse milna. (Babuji.. That child is broken. And the only way to heal her is to make Arnav meet her)" Payal said

"Tum jaanti ho na.. Inhone kya kiya hai Payal? (You do know what he's done, Don't you Payal?)" Akash asked

Arnav looked at Akash with a small smile. He was indeed proud of his brother for standing up to him defending his sister-in-law Yet a certain amount of sadness crept in uninvited. For not being able to tell him what he really wants.

Payal looked at his brother-in-law cum brother sadly.

"I know exactly what he has done Akash-" Payal said
