Dil Ne Chuna Hai Tujhko { Heart Chooses You }

Her Past Continuous

Thank you so much guys for your votes and comments. Here is the next part.

  Khushi withdraws from the hug awkwardly. She looked here and there to cover her embarrassment. Arnav took her hands and held it tight as if saying her to continue. 

Khushi took a deep breath and start talking looking downward." He was very cunning Arnavji. He used to tell my parents that I am jealous of my jiji and I am showing some advances to him. He made my parents believe his words, he record my voice stating him to leave my jiji. Actually I said that when he tries to threaten me with jiji. My parents believe his words. When ever I comes to the room he suddenly exit from there. At first I thought that he finally realized his mistakes. But when I saw the accusing glares of jiji and babuji I was confused and really worried". 

Her face reflects the pain about the behaviour of her parents. Arnav held her hand tightly to give her silent support. Khushi gives a slight smile at his gesture and continues. 

"I tried to ignore all these. But one day" . Her eyes pooled with tears." I was cleaning my room suddenly he comes inside and closed the door. I was startled and ask him to GET OUT of my room. He tried to misbehave with me. I was shouting then suddenly he close my mouth forcefully and started his acting like I...I was forcing myself upon him and all about his love for my jiji". Her face churned with disgust.

Arnav felt an immense rage towards her jijaji. He feels that if he ever see him, he will definetly make him pay for his sins. 

Khushi gives a sad painful smile to him." Suddenly my babuji and jiji come inside. My back was facing the door. So they didn't see my tears and helplessness. According to them our position looked like I was the one who forced him. At that day I lost them Arnavji. I lost the trust of them. Because of his manipulation my .......my Jiji begged me for don't break her family".

Khushi closed her eyes and starts crying painfully. Arnav's eyes also turn moist seeing her pain and agony. Enough of all of this. I won't let her suffer anymore he decided in his mind.

He wipes her tears." It's ok Khushi don't waste your tears for them. They are not worth of it. Okey". He cupped her cheek.

Khushi nodes her head and gives him a slight smile. 

"Okey I think you are tired and you need rest now otherwise your tiny brain won't function next day". Arnav teased her.

Khushi's mouth formed an 'O' shape." What? tiny brain?. For your kind information I am the topper of the class". She said furiously pointing her finger at him.

Arnav chuckled seeing her angry expression and red nose. She looks like a cute messy kid.
He shook his head and said "OK OK I know my bestie is the most intelligent one. Now go to sleep. See you tomorrow". He said with a surrendering expression. 

Khushi giggled at him proudly. Arnav smiled happily as he was able to change her mood.

" Bye" he waved at her with a smile and heads to his room.

" Bye". Khushi smiled at his retreated figure and close her eyes peacefully for the much needed sleep.  

Next Day

  Sun rays peeped through the window to disturb the beautiful dream of Khushi. Finally after so many years she was able to sleep peacefully. She covered her head with the sheets but that was not helping either. Finally she opened her eyes pouting and looked around. That's when she realized that she is in Raizada Mansion now. 

She gets up and sat on the bed taking her own sweet time to go downstairs. Her mind flooded with the events of last night. Rocky's arrival to her conversation with Arnav.

While thinking about Arnav a small smile lingered on her lips. She couldn't thank enough her stars for bringing Arnav into her life. Finally there will be someone with whom she can share her worries.

When she comes downstairs she got surprised to see Arnav waiting for her with breakfast.
"Good morning Khushi". Arnav said with a wide smile.

But from his tired face she realized that he didn't sleep well last night. But why. That was confusing her.

She responds him with the same chirpiness. " Good morning to you too Arnavji".

Arnav looked at her smiling face and finally his mind calm down a little. After his last night conversation with Khushi his mind was very disturbed. Every time he close his eyes khushi's teary face comes to his mind. Whole night he was been thinking about Khushi and her safety. 

"Where is aunty and uncle Arnavji". Khushi's voice brought him back to present. 

"They both gone to attend the wedding of one of our relatives. Will be back in the evening". He said gesturing her to take the seat.

Khushi sits down and Arnav started to serve her." You don't need to bother Arnavji. I will serve myself". She said trying to stop him.

"Kyun Khushi are you afraid that I won't serve enough for you". He teased at her winking.

Khushi looked at him open mouth. 

She decide that it will be better if she doesn't object him. Arnav chuckled at her expression and continues to serve her.. Both of them eat their breakfast in silence.

For Khushi she choose to be silent to avoid his teasing and Arnav was busy admiring her annoyed and embarrassed expressions  

  Khushi comes to the room after breakfast and forcing Arnav to take some sleep. She looked through the window. It opens to the garden of Raizada mansion which is adorned by beautiful roses. From her childhood she is very fond of roses. Especially the red one. It was her favorite. 

She chuckled remembering her childhood when she gets jealous on other girls when she sees they get red roses on valentines day. She never had a boyfriend so no one gifted her a red rose. She can still remember her pleading to her Jiji to gift her a red rose. She smiled remembering their beautiful past. 

Suddenly her eyes pooled with unshed tears remembering her life now. her Jiji no longer smiles at her warmly. Even though she speaks with her she can feel the bitterness in her voice. After all she choose her husband over her little sister. Khushi sighed remembering everything.

She was waiting for Arnav in the hall. Hp informed her that he had gone out to meet Akash sir. So she don't want to eat her lunch alone. But Arnav specially informed HP to serve Khushi because he will be late.

Suddenly the bell rang and Khushi rushes to open the door enthusiastically.
