Part 10GHLying on the bed, Khushi was sobbing continuously. She was rejected. Rejected by the person who showed her a new world, who made her smile heartedly, who made her forget her pain, who soothed her wounded heart. She didn't want to go to college where the man she loved the most in the short period was. Rishi came to her room. She wiped her tears and smiled at him.
Rishi: Di, don't you go to college?Khushi: There won't be classes as Founder's day rehearsal is going. Rishi: Ohh. I want a help from you as Mom and Dad not at home. Khushi: what do you want me to do?Rishi: My teacher asked the students to bring money or something to give "flood victims". I thought to give them our company "PURE SANDAL" soaps. Khushi: What's the problem in doing that?Rishi: Help me to take it from the store room.Khushi: What if Mom scolds me? Ask her permission first.Rishi: I have called her already and I'm permitted. Khushi: Ok. Let's go.They opened the store room and saw a box full of "PURE SANDAL" soaps. Rishi called the driver and asked him to keep it in the car. Khushi: Rishi, keep some soap at home.Rishi: Do you want?Khushi: No no. I just started a new soap yesterday only. I said for Mom and Dad. Rishi: Don't worry Di. Mom will bring some from our company. (Khushi nodded yes) No one at home so take rest. I will meet you in the night. Bye.Khushi: Ok.... bye.Rishi left to school. Khushi again came to her room and fell on the bed. She wanted to go to college. If she went to college she couldn't hold herself from meeting Arnav. If she met him then she couldn't hold her tears. She looked at Devi Maiya idol and sat straight. Khushi: Why did you make me meet Arnav? Why did you make him shower love on me? Why did you show me taste the fruit of care? Why are you snatching the happiness which I never got? Why? Am I a sinner that you are pushing me into the hell always? Can't I get his love? or should I suffer like this always? She closed her face with palms and cried. Devi Maiya's mercy hands should have tapped her back. Because only she knew what was waiting for her in the college.
CollegeArnav was waiting in the college for Khushi restlessly. He was disappointed as Khushi didn't come to the college yet. What happened to her? Why didn't she come today? He thought to ask Payal.Payal and Akash were sitting in the canteen having coffee. They saw Arnav getting inside and ordered sugarless coffee. He smiled and came to them taking his coffee. He didn't show them that he was waiting for Khushi.Arnav: hope I'm not disturbing you.Akash: Hey come on. This is canteen and we are surrounded by many people.Arnav (looking at Payal): where is your friend?Payal: Whom you are asking? She asked with attitude.Arnav knew she was doing that deliberately.Arnav: you know very well whom I'm asking about.Payal: Why are you asking about her? Arnav sensed anger in her tone.
Arnav: she never leaves you. That's why I ask.Payal: Khushi is absent today. Arnav: Is she alright?Payal: I didn't ask.Arnav: Will you?Payal: I will ask her if she come tomorrow.Arnav: mmm... after all she is Shashi gupta's daughter. She should be busy with her beloved family. Payal(sarcastically yet angrily): Beloved and Khushi's family? Huan...Arnav looked at her questioningly. Payal: I'm going to my class. She left without waiting. Arnav sensed that Payal got upset. But why? Suddenly?Arnav was damn upset about Khushi's absence. Why she was doing this when he wanted to talk to her very important? How sadly she spoke to him on phone... Is she upset with his rude behavior? She must be. But what's the necessary to take leave? Damn.... That day was the longest day in Arnav's life. He lived in the hell for whole day. He sat in his class getting fed-up. What would she say? What if she would not accept his condition? Would he be peaceful after that? He sighed rolling his eyes high.
Next day Khushi couldn't take leave today as Garima was at home. It will be better than going to college then being at home with Garima. Without any option left Khushi got ready to college. But she made herself up that she shouldn't go out of her class room and embarrass Arnav.As usual Khushi walked into the college. As usual she couldn't stop her poor heart from looking for Arnav. But she didn't find Arnav and she thought he was deliberately hiding from her. She went to her class with disappointment. She sat beside window which gives the back view of their collage. Climate looked cloudy. Seemed like, it can rain any time. She was caressed by chilled wind. She turned her face and looked through the window. Her spine got chilled as Arnav was standing under the same tree, where Khushi confessed her love and looking at her sternly. Why he was looking at her this way? She bowed down. She slowly raised her head up. Yes, Arnav was standing there with same deep gaze. Khushi couldn't stop herself from going towards him. she came out of the class. He didn't take his eyes from her yet. Why he was looking at her like this? Does he want to talk to her? Does he want her to come to him? She rushed to the ground floor hurriedly and stood in front of him panting hard gulping saliva in her dried throat. She didn't know either she should talk to him or not because he told her that they are not friends. But his constant gaze on her gave courage to speak.
Khushi (hesitatingly): Are you... are you waiting for me?Arnav blinked his eyes slowly nodding yes. She didn't ask anything more. He was waiting for her; it was more than enough for her. She was delighted knowing that. She smiled at him. Next second, her smile got vanished by his question. Arnav: Are you ready to come to me if your father doesn't agree to our marriage?
Khushi was bomb shelled. MARRIAGE? They didn't even get into the LOVE yet and he was talking about Marriage? Just two days before, he spoke like, he didn't even know her. But now, he was asking her to ELOPE with him? What he was up to?Arnav: Won't you? He asked disappointedly looking at her expression. Khushi: But why are you asking me this?Arnav: Because your father will never let you to marry me. One day, you have to choose "one" between us, either me or your father. If you are not ready to leave your home, than you can go in your way. If you ready to come to me than I'm
IN. Remember, I will never back off at any cost if once I got into the LOVE.
You will be mine (pause) forever. 
Arnav saw a smile in her eyes. They sparkled with happiness. She nodded
NO making Arnav upset. But her next stance gave him shock... of course Sweet shock. Khushi: Not only my father, I will leave everything for you. She said smilingly with happy tears. Why not? After all she wanted him in her life. She couldn't believe that Arnav would give her this kind of
firm confirmation. He was not just talking about
LOVE but about Marriage and also about their entire life. What else other than this she needed? Arnav was thunder stuck when Khushi extended her hand towards him asking his. Arnav forwarded his hand confusingly. She clutched his palm biting her lips controlling her overwhelming sensation.Arnav was like what the.... Why this girl was over reacting? Of course he said
YES. At the same time, didn't he say she should leave her home? Doesn't she have any problem with that? What he had done for her that she is ready to leave her parents? He was looking at her couldn't understand anything. As expected it started raining suddenly. Arnav ran into the next building corridor. He saw Khushi drenching happily standing in the rain. What happened to this girl? Payal saw her drenching and she rushed towards her. Clutching her hand she asked her to come. Payal: You will fall sick if you drench.Khushi hugged Payal and pecked her cheek as strong as possible making her surprise. Arnav chuckled seeing that. Khushi(excitedly): Arnav said YES Payal.Payal (surprised): Really?Khushi: Yesssss......This time Payal hugged her with the same happiness.Arnav who was witnessing everything from far thought.... Arnav(in mind): Khushi always looks sad. she cries for everything. If she is sad she cries, if she is happy then also she cries but with a smile. How different those are. He was drowning into her flawless smile unconditionally. His smile got faded. What he was doing is right? His enmity for Shashi Gupta would definitely affect Khushi one day. He gulped hard. He was very clear about something that he shouldn't get into Khushi too much. He should be in his limit, to be ready for everything. He couldn't believe Khushi completely. She may change anytime if her father forces. He made up himself, Unaware of the truth that he is going to witness an unforeseen love from Khushi in which he would lose himself ...completely... truly... unconditionally...To be continued.......Next part on Inkitt.
She is SeriousArnav's confession surprised Aman when Akash told him. Aman was obviously happy, at the same time; he was scared about the truth. He wanted to get it cleared from Arnav directly. Arnav saw Aman coming.Aman: I need to talk to you.Arnav: I too want to talk to you.Aman: what I heard is true?Arnav: What you heard?Aman: That you admitted your love to Khushi?Arnav knew what Aman wanted to talk with him. After all he is the only one who knew about his life history. Arnav: I...I can't forget her. (Aman was looking at him intensively) However I tried hard, I couldn't be thinking of her. Thought of leaving her killed me. I have gone insane damn it.
