Hii frnds, Thank you so much for your likes and comments for the previous part. Here is the next chapter , hope you guys like it.

Arnav comes out of his room and walked towards his study room suddenly one soft body collided with him.

His file fell down from his hand because of the collision and the papers were scattered around. "What the" he exclaimed.

He looked angrily towards the person who is responsible for all this.

Khushi looked at him trembling in fear. "Woh....I'm sorry" she whispered.

Arnav clutched her arms tightly. "Sorry ...what the hell are you trying to do. Don't you have eyes. Or have you done this purposefully." He yelled.

Khushi looked at him shocked hearing his accusation.

"Why... would I do this purposefully" she asked him in a quivering voice.

"Off course you don't know anything right". He said sarcastically.
"Now when no one is ready to marry you, you thought to trap me right". He spat.

Khushi looked at him unbelievably. She feels that the air been sucked out of her body. Tears starts to roll down from her eyes.


"Arnavji..... I. ..".she whispered brokenly. He pushed her away. :Never ever show your disgusting face to me .".he yelled and walked away

Khushi collapsed on the floor covering her face with palms and wailed loudly.

Arnav was typing furiously in his laptop. "Damn it. What does she think of herself". He closed the laptop with frustration.

Suddenly he heard the shouting of anjali and ratna." Khushi....open the door beta.....khushi..."

"Khushi.." he whispered and runs towards her room.

"Mom...what happened" he asked rushing towards them.

Ratna hold his hand crying. "Chote khushi bitiya is not opening the door."

Arnav felt his heart skipped a beat. "W...what" he gasped.

He banged the door. .."khushi open the door.....khushi....it's me arnav. ...open the door dammit. Don't test my patience" he yelled.

But there is no response from inside. He can feel the fear gripping inside him.

Arnav starts kicking the door. "Khushi open the door..".he yelled once again.

Finally he was able to break it.
Arnav rushed inside the room followed by others.

The sight in front of him makes him halt in his steps. He stood there unable to breath.

Khushi is lying on a pool of blood and it's dripping from her hand. A knife was beside her smudged in blood.

"KHUSHIII. ...."he screamed and rushed towards her. He makes her head lie on his lap.

Ratna and anjali starts crying seeing khushi's condition.

Arnav cupped her cheek. "What have you done khushi.....Nothing will happen to you. Let’s go to the hospital".

He tried to lift her in his arms. But khushi held his hand. "Th...there is no use ar...arnavji. my time is up. Y...you don't have to face a....an.. any t..troubles bec...because of me anymore. .."..she said with a sad smile.

Tears rolled down from his eyes. "No...khushi I didn't mean it khushi. ...please don't leave me."..he cried.

Khushi smiled at him painfully then took a deep breath.....her eyes began to close and her hand falls from his..


"KHUSHIIII......".arnav screams and getup.

He is sweating and shivering like anything. He looked around frantically realising that he just had a nightmare.

Arnav took a deep breath to calm himself. He wipes his sweat from his face with hands.

The dream is still going infront of his eyes whenever he close it.

He looked at the clock to see it's 4 in the morning. Suddenly his di's words comes to his mind.
"Chotte......whatever we see in the early morning will comes true. God is giving us some hints through this..".


:No...what if it becomes true.....what if she tried to end her life fed up of everything. ...no...she can't do that. ". He whispered.

He covered his face with his palms. There is still time for sleeping but he is not able to close his eyes. Whenever he close it the image of khushi lying on a pool of blood comes to his mind.
He groaned and went out of the room. He needs to see khushi now.


He reached her room in long strides but stopped himself . "What the. What am I doing. What will she thinks if I just knocked it now. Dammit". Somehow he controlled his anxiety and returns to his room waiting for the dawn.


Morning

Breakfast table

Ratna and anjali is serving him breakfast. But arnav kept gazing at the staircase constantly.

"Why didn't khushi comes here yet. Is she ok". He thought confused and worried.

"Maa where is khushi." Anjali asked looking around.

Ratna sighed. "She is in her room anjali. She is really upset from the morning. Don't know why".

Arnav immediately stood up from his seat. His horrible dream about khushi flashed infront of his eyes.


He rushed towards her room without responding the calls of ratna and anjali. 

He knocked and entes the room.
Khushi was facing the window and from her facial expressions he can say that she is lost in some thoughts .


He cleared his thought making her come out of her thoughts.

She turned around and shocked to see Arnav.  "Arnavji. ...you...here"  she stammered.


Arnav gulped unable to find the words.

He took a long breath to calm himself. "Khushi I need to talk to you." He said.

Khushi nodded her head confused.

He starts. "Khushi I only know what aman and police said about you and the case. My heart is telling me that you are innocent. But I can't prove your innocence to the world unless you tell me the whole truth."

Khushi looked at him shocked and overwhelmed. Tears starts to roll down from her eyes.

Arnav immediately wipes her tears with his hand. "Sshhh....you can trust me khushi. I won't let you down. Just tell me whatever happened in your life. I can very well say that all of this is not happened accidentally. There is a well planned conspiracy behind it. And only you knows what exactly happened there. I need to know the complete truth khushi". He said holding her hand.


Khushi gulped." There will be no use arnavji. No one is going to believe me. They will always blame me".
Her eyes turn moist remembering the accusations on her.


Arnav tights his hold on her hand. "Leave that to me khushi. You just tell me the truth". He said.

Khushi nodded her head slowly.
