Fighting Fate of Love

A very happy new year to all the readers. 🤗🤗

By Me

Khushi: I cried. I pleaded but my parents didn't hear anything and at last I have to accept whatever they said. I couldn't be a reason for my father's death.

------------

Arnav looked, completely stunned as the meaning of her words started sinking in "After that I wasn't allowed to go out alone in the fear of what if I try to meet you. I thought with time, I'll make them understand but I was wrong, soon I was compelled to get married with Rehan."

"I again tried to contact with Anjali Di to tell her everything and ask her to somehow make my parents understand but Di didn't listen anything in anger and stopped even receiving any calls. I got married to Rehan but after that the relation between me and my parents turned sour." Arnav looked at her in shock, his sister never told that Khushi was trying to contact him.

"After my wedding, I never visited my home to meet my parents and stopped talking with them, unless it's necessary to show Rehan. I was scared after marriage as I had no feelings for Rehan and I knew I can't give him the place in my heart which was always yours. On wedding night,  Rehan thought that I am not ready as it was arranged marriage and we need sometime to know each other. He gave me the time I needed and I am thankful about it. I know he also feels bad when even now I maintain this distance between us and I feel guilty also, he is my husband but what can I do? It feels so wrong when I don't feel anything for him."

Khushi was speaking, completely lost in the events of her life "I got habitual to this life and was living like this only when you came in front of me and irony, as my husband's best friend. The friend whom he consider no less than a brother and hate the girl his friend once loved and who left him, unknown that the girl is none other then his now Wife."

"Damn it! So much has happened and I knew nothing. Khushi, Why didn't you tell me when we met? In fact, you were trying to do things by which I shouldn't even know that it's you." Arnav exclaimed, confused with the sudden turn of events.

Khushi looked at him with a sad smile on her lips "So what do you expect me to do? The  moment I saw you in front of me after all these months, all I wanted is to run into your arms but I couldn't. The equations has been changed, I was married to someone else and you also."

She turned to look at other side "I composed myself thinking it's better if you continue to hate me, it'll help you to move on with Shreya. Though your words filled with hatred used to pain me but somewhere I deserve it."

Arnav gulped painfully feeling terrible but continue to hear everything without interruption. "Then I got to know about eye transplantation, I was so happy and wanted to tell you but I know you wouldn't even listen to me. So I told Rehan about it and we planned to surprise you on your birthday but you denied."

Khushi was crying bitterly in the end and Arnav swallowed his own tears inching closer to her, he hugged her and she continues to cry, finally letting out all her buried pain in his arms. "I am Sorry. I am Sorry......" She continued to say sorry and Arnav tried to console her, rubbing her back.

"Shhhh.... I am sorry, Khushi. It's my mistake also, I should have guessed that something is wrong when not even for once you came to meet me. I should have tried to contact you but I was myself immersed in my pain and your absence just made me feel betrayed. I am sorry!" Arnav whispered, his eyes red with tears.

Khushi shakes her head in denial "No! Please don't say that. Whatever happened was written in our destiny. Now I just wish to see your eyesight back. I just want to see the Arnav, I knew."

Arnav smiled, slightly "Yea! I came here to tell you that only,  I am ready. I am ready for the transplantation, Khushi."

Khushi looks at him with wide eyes "Really?" Arnav though can't see her but he can feel it and nodded  "I thought that I'll prove you that you doesn't affect me or my decisions but now if I think I was so wrong, it does. Even if I agreed to prove you that your presence means nothing to me but still the reason behind my decision was you only."

Khushi looked at him through tears and Arnav continues "But now I really want to see, to see you. I want to see that smile again, those eyes gazing into mine again."

At the end both were crying,  their foreheads resting on each other. Arnav kissed her eyes, gulping those tears, her nose, her cheeks,  his lips moved closer to her quivering lips, and pecking the corner of her lips, he moved to her lips. Their lips were just inches apart and nose touching to each other  when the shrill ringtone of phone made them come out of the trance and Khushi instantly pulled back.

Khushi looks at her phone, Rehan was calling, she fumbled with her phone finally receiving the call and Rehan informed her that he'll be late today. She somehow managed to mutter a "Ok".

Arnav: Khushi

Khushi: No! It was wrong. It was wrong, it shouldn't happen again. We are married Arnav and whatever the situation was, they have no fault in it.

Arnav: but....

Khushi: You should go back.

Sensing Khushi's need to stay alone for sometime, Arnav left from there slowly gauging his every step and Khushi silently followed him till he entered inside his home before running back to her room and crying on her fate.

Paas aaye..
Dooriyaan phir bhi kam naa hui
Ek adhuri si hamari kahani rahi
Aasmaan ko zameen, ye zaroori nahi
Jaa mile.. jaa mile..
Ishq saccha wahi
Jisko milti nahi manzilein.. manzilein..

Hamari adhuri kahani
Hamari adhuri kahani
