What is Love

What is Love-Part 6 to 10

Khushi had already drifted to sleep whereas Arnav was lost in his thoughts.After switching on the night lamp on Khushi's side,he went to the poolside.He thought back to his life.

No matter how much he said that he didn't believe in marriage or never wanted to get married but deep inside his heart,just like any other man,he wanted to have a life partner as well,someone who will be with him for life,someone who will support him,will fight with him,will take care of him, will wait for him for dinner,will absorb all his anger.

It was not like his Di did not care for him in this way but she had her own life as well.She could not be with him all the time and he understood it.Somehow or the other,he found these qualities in Khushi.She was caring as well as fiesty;a perfect life partner for him.And why not,she is the only one who has managed to get through the real Arnav in him,the loving Arnav who he had buried deep somewhere to be able to survive in this cruel world.And he was ready to do anything to earn her forgiveness.

He will somehow deal with Shyam.As everyone says,life is not a bed of roses(petals), there are thorns as well,so he will deal with this problem as well to protect his family's happiness.And as for Khushi's family,he cannot do anything until she herself forgives them,which he was sure will not be anytime soon due to their harsh words.

Arnav turned to look at Khushi and saw her expressing some discomfort on her face.Upon nearing her,he could see that her heavy embedded lehenga was irritating her and he mentally chided himself for not giving her something to change into.

And then he remembered that she had nothing to change into.He had to make some arrangements for her as he knew that no one will come forward to help her with the clothes the following day.Thus he made few phone calls and waited for the delivery to be made.

After an hour:
Arnav got a phone call and went to get the suitcase from the main door.And so the whole night went by with Arnav arranging the new Mrs. Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada's clothes and toiletteries in the room

*******

The following morning,Khushi woke up feeling slightly groggy.She felt peaceful but at the same time somewhat mentally exhausted.She found herself in a completely different place to what she was used to waking up to which seemed to be like Arnav's room to her.It was then that she remembered the happenings of the previous day.She suddenly started feeling uneasy as she found herself alone in the room.Everything was new to her  and to top it up,there was no trace of Arnav in the room as well.

Khushi walked to the poolside looking for Arnav but all  in vain.She could not even go downstair to ask anyone about him as she knew no one will talk to her after their sudden marriage the previous day.

She could do nothing else than just waiting for him.She started feeling scared thinking of what if Arnav is back to his ASR avatar again and he takes her responsible for whatever is happening and he throws her out of the house.In such a situation she would have no one to turn to as everyone have severed ties with her.And she started crying,sitting on the bed.

And it was in this state that Arnav found Khushi when he got back to the room.She was again a total mess,just like the previous night.Her face was drenched in tears with her eyes puffy and her nose and cheeks red due to continuous rigorous wiping of tears.

Ar:Khushi...(he said confused)

It was then that she registered the presence of Arnav in the room and she stared at him blankly.He had already showered and looked fresh.

Arnav cupped her face and asked

Ar: What happened,Khushi? Aise kyun ro rahe ho? Did anyone come here and told u something? Say something,dammit.
