Part 33

"Khushi! Sit down, let's talk." Rudra said as he rushed behind her. She stopped walked and turned to face him, she stared at him silently waiting for him to talk.

"You have to try and understand Khushi, we did whatever that we did to keep you safe, you cant blame us for it." Rudra said.

"I am not blaming you, but it's not fair for you to ask me to break up with Arnav, I love him bro... and maybe you think I'm to young for love and all that but I still love him and nothing would change that." Khushi said hoping he would try to understand her.

"I get it Khushi, I really do. But as your brothers, we can't stop worrying, we can't stop wondering that what if the same thing happened again? It's just... to scary for us Khushi."

"So what do you want me to do? Break up with Arnav because you guys are scared?"

"No... you said you both love each other, right?" Rudra asked, the both of them nodded positively.

"Fine, if he also loves you and he doesn't have any wrong intentions with you, let him prove that love." Rudra suggested.

"How do you want me to prove it? I'll do anything to make you believe that I love her and I wont ever harm her in any way whatsoever." Arnav finally spoke up.

"You don't have to prove you love me Arnav." Khushi looked at him.

"It's not for you baby, it's for their satisfaction. Tell me, what will I have to do?" Arnav looked at him confidently.

"Let her go. I don't mean for good, but we need to be sure she's chosen the right guy and if you two love each other as much as you say, stay away from each other, long enough and far away where there are chances of you two falling for someone else.

If you both manage to stay in love that long, we will believe it, meanwhile we'll also have time to get background check and everything done to be sure. All you need to do is pass the test of time and I promise, neither of us will come in between you two again." Rudra said.

"What are you trying to say bro?" Khushi looked at him in confusion.

"Remember when we wanted you to go to Australia for your studies and you chose to stay? How about you actually go and study there, while he remains here. You can talk over the phone video call and everything, and if after you finish your studies, you two still want to be together, I promise we wont object, as long as we don't find anything bad about him." Rudra said.

"That's basically telling me to break up with him in other words." Khushi said.

"No it's not, it's just giving a test to prove that you two actually love each other, the distance shouldn't matter if you really do?"

"What about my studies? I've already spent an year here, if I go to Australia, I'll have to start all over again, that's basically me wasting my one year." Khushi said.

"It shouldn't matter if you're willing to prove your love."

"I cant believe you would even suggest this. Why would I waste my entire year? You are out of your mind Rudra!" Khushi said angrily.

"I am not, I am trying to make sure my sister is safe!"

"By doing this? It's not fair, I won't agree on it." Khushi said.

"Fine, then stay here and adhere to our rules, no going to the same college as him not meeting him no contact with him."

"What the hell is wrong with you guys, why are you doing this?" Khushi shouted angrily.

"He knows that we will do a background check on him Khushi, he can try to hide things, he can try to look good. I am not saying he is bad, maybe he isn't, but we won't be able to believe it because he knows the whole story now.
