Pyaar ka rastha...nafrath se shuruvath(completed)(hatred to love: a flip)

chapter 72

Khushi looked at Arnav to answer him...

Khushi: you are right, Arnavji... I don't love Amitji....

A pleasant smile appeared on Arnav's lips while Khushi continued...

Khushi: but... I neither want to shut him off out of my life nor I wish to give him any false hopes... 

Arnav: what do you want to do then?? (he asked controlling the building up anger inside him)

Khushi: I just want to give myself some time... to think over this whole issue... my life... my feelings... everything...

Arnav: so you are not going to call off your marriage with him??

Khushi: might be... might not be...

Arnav: what do you mean by that??

Khushi: My family brought this proposal for me... They like Amitji very much... Though I agreed to marriage, I asked them not to rush with the things and to give me some more time... So, I won't speak anything until I find my love... I mean, if I find someone who could love me the way I always dreamed of, then things might change... I could say to Bapuji that I love someone else and I could call off the marriage if that ever happens...

Arnav: and what do you think?? You didn't meet your dream man until now?? You didn't find that 'someone' until now?? (he asked softly)

Arnav and Khushi were staring into each others eyes after that question...

Khushi(taking a deep breathe): leave it... You won't understand...

Arnav: what do you mean by I don't understand...?

Khushi didn't answer him... She continued eating...

Arnav: Khushi, I am asking you something... (his voice raised a little)

Khushi: Arnavji please... I don't want people's gaze to shift towards us...

Arnav realized that he should cool down and should not draw people's attention towards them unnecessarily... So, he silently continued eating... The dinner got over and Arnav moved out along with Khushi after paying the bill...

***

Arnav pinned Khushi to the car as soon as they moved towards his car...

Arnav: I am waiting to hear your answer, Khushi...

Khushi: and I have already gave you my reply...

Arnav: I pretty well could understand... So answer me... Didn't you find that someone special until now...?

Khushi: Arnavji, let us close this topic here itself... and is this a way to get your answers...?

Arnav: you left me with no option, Khushi... Now, I am not going to leave you until you answer my question...

Khushi looked at their positions... Arnav was so close to her and anyone who enter might get it in a wrong way...

Khushi: first you move back and then we will have a talk... (she said in a serious tone)

Arnav: are you sure??

Khushi nodded her head and Arnav moved back while folding his hands on his chest, waiting to hear her answers...

Khushi: first tell me, why should I answer your questions, Arnavji... What relation do we share that you are demanding answers from me...?

Arnav was about to say something when Khushi continued...

Khushi: now don't start that 'something special' again... You feel that there is a special connection between us, right... then, tell me what it is Arnavji... At least tell me what you feel... because I can't go through this battle within myself anymore...
