"What do you want?" he asked looking at her sternly and composing himself back to his ASR avatar. His voice turning firm and emotionless as Khushi looked at him confusingly, confused with his sudden change of expressions and emotions in voice.

__________________________

Arnav clenched and unclenched his fist looking at the expressions of hurt on her face but he needs to control himself. He can't let this unknown emotions sway him, being emotionless is best. The more you let these emotions control you, the more hurt you feel.

Khushi tried hard to gauge his expressions but suddenly she can only see the old emotionless ASR standing in front of her and it scared her more. She looked away, unable to look into his piercing eyes anymore and mustering up the courage, she started speaking while stammering. "Woh.. hum.. hum apse.. apse hum... hum apse maafi .... Maafi maangna chahte hai. (I wanted to ask for forgiveness from you.)"

"Maafi? (sorry). For what?" Arnav asked looking at her confused. Khushi managed to look at him "I know you're angry with me. I know you are angry with me therefore you're ignoring me and I know why you're so much disappointed with me. I shouldn't have taken that horrible step when you all were trying to help me. I am such a horrible person that instead of being thankful for your support, I went forward putting yours and your family reputation in danger. I am really sorry, Arnav ji. I really am."

"I don't know what I was thinking but all I can see around me is darkness and no reason to live and I didn't want to be a burden on anyone but I should have thought about the legal problems you could have faced because of my coward step. I am .....I... really sorry" She hiccupped unable to continue and turned back to leave before she felt herself pulled back and she crashed into his hard chest.

Arnav was quietly listening to her and whatever she told left him surprised. She feels that he is angry because her actions could have jeopardized his and his family's name when it was the last thing on his mind. He kept quiet letting her think whatever she wants, in fact it's good in this way, she shouldn't get the idea of his emotions and the fear he felt but the moment he saw tears in her eyes his intentions to stay strong and emotionless started falling week. With trembling lips and voice filled with pain and despair when she turned to leave, without thinking anything his hand raised to pull her back.

Khushi gasped as her head tilted upwards to look at him, he gulped and looked down into her confused and scared eyes. "Bol liya? (Are you done?)" Arnav asks and after few moments Khushi nodded silently. Arnav leaves her hand making some distance between them and went to sit beside the pool "Come. Sit here." He speaks patting the space beside him. Khushi fidgeted with her dupatta nervously before walking towards him gingerly and sits beside him, leaving enough space between them.

Arnav continued to look into the clear water of pool, not saying a word before he felt her sitting beside him. They continued to sit in complete silence, struggling with their own set of thoughts when unable to continue it anymore, Khushi started speaking "Arnav ji." But not giving her a chance to start with her sorry and stupid reasons, Arnav started speaking.
