Manzil (Destination)MaNan ArShi SS

Part 9

Khushi,Aarav and Ruhi went to a far place to go to a famous temple.After praying they went near the beggars in the temple area to serve them food.Khushi found a beggar familiar.He looked very weak and old.She looked at him carefully.He looked at her with surprise:Khushiji!Khushi's eyes got filled with tears:Arnavji!Aarav looked there with a stunned face hearing Khushi call the beggar Arnav.That beggar was none other than Arnav.Arnav:You recognised me.I am happy.Khushi wept:Arnavji...how come you are here?Aarav:Chachu..Arnav looked at Aarav.His lips shivered:Aarav?Aarav:Yes Chachu.I am your Aarav.Arnav:So you are with your mother though your father got your custody.
Aarav:My cruel father died Chachu.After that only I got my mother back.Arnav was shocked:Aryan is no more?Aarav:Yes chachu.He tried to kill you.Right?Khushi was shocked:What?Aarav:Yes Maa.After the custody case papa sent goons to kill chachu.He was assumed to be dead.Khushi:He was even worse than I thought.How could he try to kill his own brother?
Aarav:Chachu..how did you reach here?Arnav:I was brutally injured after the murder attempt.I was sick for a long time.Almost paralyzed.After many years I could start walking.But I was homeless and did not have the strength to work to support myself.So I found shelter in this temple.Khushi,Aarav and Ruhi were shocked.
Ruhi:So shocking.This much suffering!
Arnav noticed Ruhi.Khushi:This is my daughter in law..Aarav's wife Ruhi.Arnav smiled:I can't believe that you have grown up so much Aarav.Aarav smiled.Aarav Ruhi touched Arnav's feet.Arnav blessed them:Have a blissful life.
Khushi:Enough of your stay here Arnavji.You should come with us.God showed you to us for a good purpose.
Aarav:Yes.Now you are not alone chachu.

Arnav smiled:I too wished to be with my family.But I thought it was only a dream.But I am happy that my dream has come true.
They all smiled.

They took Arnav home.
They started his medical treatment.Ruhi dyed his grey hair and made it black.
Arnav looked fresh and happy.

A year passed...

Arnav and Khushi's friendship blossomed like before.

Ruhi:Aarav...what if we get Khushi Maa and Arnav chachu married?They look so happy together.
Aarav was shocked:What are you saying Ruhi?In this age marriage?
Ruhi:Why not?For marriage age should not be a barrier.
Aarav:But my mother...I don't like her with any other person.I can't even imagine that.
Ruhi:You don't like to share your mother with anyone else.Right?Aarav...don't be so possessive about your mother that you can't share her with anyone else.It can only spoil her life.
Khushi Maa never got love in her life.
Aarav:She has us.We both love her.

Ruhi:But our love is not enough.Right?She also needs a loving partner whom she never got in her life.Atleast now does'nt she deserve love in her life?This blind love of yours for your mother is selfishness.If you really love your mother give her what she deserves,not snatch anything from her in the name of your love.
Aarav:Let us stop discussing about it Ruhi.
Ruhi:Ok.But think of your mother's future too.Not everyone can get second chance in their life.
God may have brought back Arnav chachu back in her life to start a new life.
Aarav just walked away.

After a few days...

Aarav went near Ruhi.
Aarav:Ruhi..I thought a lot about your suggestion.My possessiveness towards Maa should not cut off her happiness.I think we should think about Maa and Chachu's alliance.
Ruhi smiled:I am so happy that you finally thought for your Maa's life.
She rested her head on Aarav's head happily.They both smiled.


Khushi slipped and was about to fall down.Arnav held her.

Rabba ve...



Khushi:Thanks Arnavji..

Arnav:Khushiji..you need to walk carefully.This age is very critical.Even if we have a small fall our bones will break.
Suddenly Khushi's eyes fell on his hand.
Khushi:Even you are not careful.See..your hand is a little bit swollen.
Arnav:Oh..when I came out by mistake the door hit my hand by mistake.
Khushi:I will put ice on your hand.
Khushi put ice cubes on his hand.
Aarav:You both are so caring to each other.You both can't bear the pain of each other.
Ruhi:Then why don't you both promise to be with each other in every manner?

Arnav:Means?
Ruhi:Why don't you both get married?
Khushi and Arnav were shocked.
