SCARRED!!!

ABUSED

KHUSHI'S POV

The past i was afraid of has finally started affecting my present again. I knew at some point of time he will demand his right but i am unable to do so. I am unable to give him those rights over my body. And that's the main reason i didn't wanted to marry. I never wanted someone's life to be spoiled because of me.

ARNAV'S POV

She doesn't like being touched? What does this mean? She doesn't like touch in general or its just my touch? The more i think the more my head hurt, i kept waiting for her to come back but she didn't. I was awake till the wee hours of the morning and i didn't realised when i finally slept.

When in the morning my sleep got disturbed after the continuous ringing of my alarm,the very first thing my eyes searched was the face of the person i was worrying about whole night. But she was nowhere seen. But then my eyes fell on my clothes which was kept for me to wear. So even after fighting with me she has done this for me. I felt miserable. I started looking for her. I was continuously cursing myself for not looking for her at night in the pretext of giving her space. Damn.

"Arnav Bitwa are you looking for Khushi Bitiya?"Nani asked seeing him early morning to which he nodded. "Khushi Bitiya has gone to her office. I think there is an emergency in her work. She looked worried while going out and was continously shouting at someone on her phone. But she has told me that she has kept your clothes outside and she might come late today but has forbidden us to not worry about her." Arnav felt more miserable about his carelessness."You were right.She surely is a gem of a person who despite having so much responsibility of the city never forget her responsibility towards her home."

"Yes Nani."he nodded his head positively feeling bad by every passing second.

"And Bitwa today we all will be heading to Lucknow for Ritu's marriage. Remember we have told you."asked Nani.

"Yes Nani i remember. Have a safe journey and do call either me or Khushi when you all reach there."he said. Ritu is his cousin who is getting married and his family was invited there. But due to his new project he is unable to go there while Khushi has already a long break due to their marriage so its impossible for her to take off. So they both weren't going there.

AT NIGHT

I came back to see Hari Prakash in the garden. I questioned him that why he is not preparing dinner or helping Khushi.

"Bhaiya, Bhabhi restrained us to work tonight. She said that she'll herself make food for you two."he replied.

Now that's strange because Khushi always needed help while making food but today she denied taking help. I can sense that something is really wrong with her and i was just praying that our fight of last night shouldn't be the one.When i entered kitchen, i saw her standing by kitchen slab lost in her thought, her hand messed with the dough she has half prepared,milk was kept on boiling on high flame and the pressure cooker was there also. She was so lost in her thought that she failed to notice the milk was about to spill.

"Khushi careful!!" I shouted to which she jerked with much intensity and at that very moment pressure cooker sounded. She tried to switch off the burner of the milk and the cooker at the same time and hissed loudly when her finger touched the hot cooker. I rushed to her seeing her being messed with everything. I immediately took her hand towards the running tap water and helped her sooth down the burning sensation. Never have i ever seen Khushi so lost and unfocused like i am seeing her right now. Something is definitely wrong.
