CARDIOLOGIST'S HEART ( Completed)

23 Adopted Child

Part 23 

Arnav forgot everything, seeing Shashi Gupta. He ran to Shashi and hugged him which Shashi didn't expect.

Arnav: Uncle...

Shashi Gupta shook by his sudden and unexpected action. Suhani also surprised seeing the NEW MAN hugging her Nanu.

Shashi: Suha beta... you go inside and play. I will just come.

Arnav broke the hug hearing that. Suhani nodded yes and left to upstairs.

Arnav: How are you uncle? Do you know how madly I have been searching for you? I was fed up couldn't reach Khushi and you. Uncle, don't you know what relationship I and Khushi shared? Didn't you ask her anything about our separation? Didn't you fell to talk to me? Why uncle?

Shashi: I'm shocked Arnav... I never expected this kind of reaction from you. In fact, I never thought you will find me one day.

Arnav(confusingly): Why? Why uncle? What made you think so?

Shashi: Don't you really know, what made me think so?

Arnav(unbelievably): Because of Khushi?

Shashi (nodding yes): Yes... she said you cheated on her and she doesn't even want to hear your name.

Arnav: Didn't you ask her the reason?

Shashi: Do you think I would not? I asked her a LONG LIST of questions. I got only silence as an answer. At last, couldn't handle my rapid-fire questions, she lost her patience and shouted like a manioc... she threatened me if I ask anything or talk about you, she would kill herself.

Arnav (shockingly): Whaaaat!

Shashi: Haan... do you think I would dare to ask her anything after that?

Arnav nodded his head affirmatively.

Arnav: Are you angry with me?

Shashi: Sometimes... but seeing her cold behavior, I thought different sometimes...

Arnav sighed.

Arnav (pointing at Suhani): Suhani....

Shashi: Yeah... she adopted her.

That was the biggest blow for Arnav.

Arnav(with extreme shock): Adopted?

Shashi: Yes... when I finished my service in Brazil... she told me she is going to adopt a girl child. I asked the reason.

Arnav: What she said?

Shashi: She said she wants a "change".

Arnav: From?

Shashi: YOU...

Arnav: What the...

Shashi: Yes... she called me to London. As we have no one, I came to London after finishing my service formalities and got settled with her in London.

Arnav: I can't believe this.

Shashi: I too couldn't believe when she changed her name... Sneha.

Arnav: What she gave the reason for the name change?

Shashi: You may get shocked...

Arnav: Already I'm, uncle...

Shashi: She doesn't want you to identify her.

Arnav: Didn't it make you shock?

Shashi: Like anything. I was forced to call her SNEHA instead of Khushi. I really don't like this name. I almost stopped talking to her, not wanting to address her as SNEHA. But she didn't care about it.
