MINE

Part 49 - Trapped

KHUSHI

Currently I was at the hospital with Arnav, it wasn't really hard for me to convince him to come along with me to see a psychologist, I just talked to him calmly and told him he needed help and he agreed to come with me, I liked this a lot about him, he always understood things.

We talked to the doctor, Mrs. Roopa, she was the best in the field and quite experienced, we explained the problem to her and she listened to us keenly.

Later she asked me to leave her alone with Arnav as she wanted to talk to him privately so I waited outside while they had their discussion and when they were done, Arnav was told to wait outside while she talked to me about whatever that was going on with him.

"So? Do you think you can help him?" I asked nervously, I really hoped she would help him, Arnav and I loved each other so much, we dint want anything to come in between.

"I can help him Khushi, but I'll need to understand the root of the problem, I talked to him asked him a few questions and all so I do realize that the root of the problem is his family. They are very orthodox, that's what he told me." Roopa said.

"Yes they are."

"So I guess that's the problem, according to the conversation I feel like Arnav grew up differently than his whole family, but then he still grew up with them, and he is very sure in his mind he doesn't want to be like them, but yet there is one part of him that believes he is like them and sometimes he tried to act like that.

I am still not sure but he can be having a split personality disorder or a multiple personality disorder too, like he explained to me, he doesn't want to do certain things but he ends up doing it anyway, it's like he's split up on what to do and what not to, given the kind of family he has and how he grew up, it is quite possible he has a disorder to cope with the situation, and it might have been there for long, maybe it showed up once you came in his life and he became very possessive of you.

But right now it's all a theory, I still need time to work on him, learn about him, run a few tests and then I can finally tell you why things are happening and once we find the problem, we will find a solution too, so you don't have to worry, I am here to help." She smiled.

"Okay, so what do I need to do now?"

"You'll need to bring him one more time, maybe on Friday? And can you convince this friend of yours, Aditya right? If he can come a long? I need to see a few things."

"Sure, I'll be here on Friday, thank you." I smiled as I stood up.

"Khushi. Whatever the case, don't leave his side, all he needs is just a little help and right now I think you are the only one he trusts." Roopa said to me.

"I am not leaving his side." I assured her with a smile as I headed out where Arnav was pacing around nervously.

"What did she say?" He asked as he rushed towards me when I walked out.

"She said there's isn't anything to worry about, we need to come back on Friday and she will see how to help us." I smiled at him.

"I am going to be okay right? I hope I'm not going crazy, if I am please don't leave me." He looked at me with moist eyes. I cupped his face and looked him into the eyes, I couldn't believe for a moment how much he loved me, even in all this he was worried about me more than himself.

"I am here with you Arnav and I'm not leaving you. You might love me a lot but I love you too, maybe less than you do but I am staying, I promise." I smiled at him.

"Thank you Khushi." He hugged me happily. As he held me into his arms, all I hoped was for things to turn out okay for us, I hoped he was going to get over whatever that was disturbing him and go back to being the Arnav I fell in love with.
