MY LOVER MY WIFE...

chapter 45

"khushi wait... " arnav calls out for Khushi but she doesn't stop so he increases his pace until he's running and he catches up to her and grabs her hand

"let go of me. " she yells using her free hand to pry off his fingers

"am sorry you had to find out" he says

"find out what??" she says her eyes slowly glancing up to him

"khushi-----" he starts but gets interrupted by her "everything I heard in there had to be a lie. " she snarls.

"khushi he is your father. " arnav reaffirms to her

"my father is a rapist arnav. " her voice is still angry as she says this

"khushi trust me... "

"I should trust you... where has that ever gotten me? " arnav doesn't say anything for a while but he composes himself and does so

"arvind is your father khushi. " khushi thrusts her palm out and they impact hard with his chest but he barely flinches... her breathing becomes shallow and she clenches her hands into fists digging her finger nails deep into her palms almost drawing blood but stops doing so when arnav engulfs her in a hug...

"why is he my father arnav?? why couldn't it be anyone else?? " she says sobbing uncontrollably in his chest

"give me your keys and I will drive you home. "

.........
khushi is seated in the passenger seat and arnav is driving... she turns on the radio but arnav turns it off... she gives him a death glare that he ignores so she turns it on again and turns the volume higher than last time but he turns it off again

"what's your problem? " she asks shooting him a glare

"let's talk about it." arnav says but still keeping his eyes on the road

"let's not...." she answers almost instinctively

"khushi I know I shouldn't have said anything, it wasn't my place to but---" he starts but khushi interrupts him again

"I said let's not or do you prefer I say in French, il ne faut pas " she says

"actually I prefer chinese.... " arnav says

"am not in the mood arnav. " khushi says annoyed

"am sorry. " arnav says out of the blue

"stop saying that word to me. " khushi replies

"I know what you're going through." arnav starts only to get interrupted by khushi again "you really don't. "

"your right, I don't " arnav says

"so shut up. " khushi says

"am sorry. " arnav says once more

"if you say sorry one more time, I will throw you out of this car preferably through the window that's closed." Khushi says

"now that's just mean. " arnav replies

"can't you just drive and not speak to me... actually do speak to me. I don't want to be inside my head right now. I don't want to listen to my thoughts...its too loud, so comeon shock me...say something intelligent. " khushi finishes

"I love you. " arnav says

"I said intelligent. " khushi comments

"and I mean what I said... I love you khushi. " arnav says

"what do you expect me to say?  As much as I appreciate you saying those words, it's what they are.... they are just words. I can't trust them anymore. " she says looking outside the car's window
