Part27Khushi got tensed hearing last bell as Payal didn't come to the exam yet. She went inside and took seat. She saw payal rushing inside the exam hall panting. Khushi got relaxed seeing her. She asked her "what happened" by signalling. Payal blinked at her like "we will talk later". They attended the exam and came out after finishing it. Khushi: What happened Payal? Why were you late?Payal: Because Mom is not at home. I prepared breakfast and got ready to the college. That's why I was late.Khushi: Why? Where is aunty?Payal: She went to Kolkata yesterday before I went home. Khushi: why so urgent?Payal: My Maasi met with an accident. So Mom started to Kolkata immediately.Khushi: Oh my God... how is she?Payal: She is in coma. Mom is so worried about her. She was not blessed with child. She treats me as her own daughter. Khushi: Won't you go to Kolkata?Payal: Tonight.Khushi: Do Akash know that?Payal: Yah... I called him last night. He said he will come to meet me today.Khushi: Arnav also told me the same. But I don't know how I will talk to him because our car will be here any time. (pause) You might have brought the cookery book back as your mom went to Kolkata. Because I will feel bored from today.Payal(sighed): Yah... I forgot it. I will give you after coming from Kolkata.Khushi: Ok.
They say Akash waving at them from ground floor whereas Arnav was leaning on his car. Payal: They came. Let's go.Khushi searched for their car but she didn't find it in parking lot. She wonder. Because it never happened before. When Khushi passed the college office, She was called by a clerk. She went inside with confusion. The clerk passed the receiver to Khushi. She took it from her and talked."Khushi beta, this is Ramu"It's Khushi's driver.Ramu: Our car tyre got punctured. I will be there in half an hour. Khushi's face bloomed with happiness. Khushi: Ok. I will be waiting. She cut the call and fled through Arnav.
Arnav sat inside the car keeping the door open. Khushi got inside and closed the door.Khushi(excitedly): Arnav, our car tyre is puncture. We half an hour to talk...Arnav (smirking): Really? That's great. Khushi: you know how worried I was?Arnav: I know.Khushi: Today is our last day... (she said worriedly.) Arnav: Keep updating everything. I will be there anytime if you want. Don't forget that.Khushi moved close to him and leaned on his shoulder. Khushi: I don't know how I'm going to be without seeing you.Arnav: We will talk every day through video call.Khushi: Mmm.Arnav: Khushi..... Khushi: Mmm...Arnav: Are you alright?Khushi: Yes I'm.Arnav: Is it still paining?Khushi remembered what he said on phone yesterday.Khushi nodded no.
Arnav: You are lying.Khushi blushed on his shoulder.Arnav: am I right?Khushi nodded yes.Arnav (lifting her chin up making her looking at him): so, it's paining....Khushi nodded yes.That's when he saw her hand, where there was a red patch which made him anger. He caressed there getting emotional. Khushi: you said, you will do something? Arnav kissed the spot making her smile.Arnav: Where else do you want me to kiss?Khushi showed him her cheek. Arnav: She slapped you?
Khushi was silent. Arnav kissed her cheek and hugged her. Arnav: I will free you from them as soon as possible.Khushi: Mmm... Arnav: Khushi be prepared for everything and anytime. You will have to come to me.Khushi: I will be ready, expecting you every second...Arnav kissed her forehead gulping. They saw Khushi's car coming. She got down from the car before Ramu saw her. Arnav: Call me tonight.Khushi rushed showing her thumb up. Arnav's gaze got glued at her until her car left the college. Aman came to Arnav and they shared HI-FI. Arnav: Thank you buddy.Aman: Anytime dude. Was Khushi happy meeting you?Arnav: So much.Aman: should say, Khushi's car driver is very skilled in changing tyre. He took very less time. Arnav: Yah... Shashi Gupta is clever to choose people unlike my late father. Aman: Relax buddy...Arnav: Let's go.Aman got inside the car and they left the college.GHKhushi got panicked seeing Garima as she got three stiches on her forehead. Khushi was nervous like hell. Laxmi told her what happened with Garima in the morning which made Khushi sad. She cried seeing Garima's swelled face. She wanted to take care of Garima but she silently went to her room, getting afraid of nearing her. She didn't like to have dinner too. Khushi waited for Arnav's call to pour her heart out. As she expected, Arnav called her at 10pm.Khushi: Arnav....Arnav sensed her voice low. Arnav: What happened Khushi? You sound low?Khushi: Amma got hit on her forehead by a log...Arnav was silent.Khushi: Her face was swollen. Poor she....Arnav: My mom always says, KARMA will hit back without taking leave. I never believed it. But now, I do.Khushi: What do you mean? Arnav: She beat you yesterday and got it back today.Khushi(pleadingly): Don't say like that Arnav. She is my mother.Arnav: She should also think that you are her daughter. But she treats you like an animal...Khushi: Why are you talking like this Arnav? Won't you feel bad if your mother gets hurt?Arnav: Of course I will... because my mother deserves my concern. But your mother will never...Khushi: So what if she is not a good mother? Being a good daughter, I ought to be taken care of her.Arnav: She is lucky enough to get a daughter like you. Unfortunately, you didn't have that luck. Khushi: But I have you and you are more enough for me than anything in the world. Arnav: I'm honoured to be your saviour.Khushi: I will be happy if you don't hate my parents Arnav.Arnav: I'm sorry Khushi. You are expecting too much from me.Khushi: I know, you and my father are rivals but I don't want it to be reflected between us. Arnav: It will be better if we don't talk about them. Khushi was silent....Arnav: Khushi..... Khushi.... Are you there? Khushi talk to me damn it...Arnav heard her soft whimper.Arnav: Khushi.... Are you crying...? Khushi I just...Khushi(weeping): I'm so unlucky Arnav. I have very few people for my own. But they hate each other. Yes, my father don't like Raizadas, no wonder, because he is bad. I know that. But what about you? Isn't there any difference between you two? You are not like him and you can't be like him. Because you are ARNAV not Shashi Gupta. Being bad is what Shashi Gupta but my Arnav. Is it necessary to hate each other just because you are business rival? I can't see you guys aggressive. It's really hurting. Arnav: Khushi I really don't know what to say because I didn't expect this reaction from you. This is why I was hesitating to accept your proposal. I knew, this issue will make us embarrassed one day. That's what happening now. Khushi(feeling sad): Are you repenting for accepting my proposal? Arnav: Not at all. But I don't know, how our life will be. It will be good if you not supporting your "good for nothing" parents. Because you should know what's GOOD and BAD. Being Good for Bad people will never help you. And I don't want my wife to be senseless. Khushi: I'm sorry.... I lost my sense seeing my mother's face. What's my mistake? This is what I'm. For that, you don't have to be upset. I won't talk about them anymore. And you won't have to fell low to have senseless wife.Arnav(rolling his eyes): Khushiiiii... Khushi: Good night...Arnav: Don't you dare cut the call... I warn you.Khushi: You are intimidating me a lot these days.Arnav: I have rights to do so.Khushi(pouting): I will obey your words. You don't have to intimidate me.Arnav(sighed): I'm sorry... Khushi: I understand. Arnav: Khushi I don't hate your parents just because they are rivals of AR. I hate them because... Khushi: They are ill-treating me....Arnav: You know everything. Still, you want me to tolerate them? Khushi: No. just ignore them. Don't take them into your head. Arnav(chuckled): Khushi... how could you change your mind within a minute? Is that you the same Khushi who talked so emotionally few minutes ago?Khushi: I don't want to upset you. Because only you matter to me. I don't do anything which you don't like. Ok?Arnav: It's because you love me?Khushi: No. It's because you (she stressed) love me... only you love me...Arnav: Always.... Go to sleep. Good night.Khushi: Good night.Arnav cut the call. He felt guilt. Why won't he think like Khushi? It's him who wanted to teach a lesson to Garima. But he never thought that it will hurt Khushi. He became a reason for her tears today which he never wanted to see. To be continued.......Today's Inkitt update
Burning ProximityKhushi was looking sad as her exams got over. She couldn't go to the college anymore. There won't be any chance to meet Arnav. That's when Rishi came to her room and called her for lunch. She went with him and saw Garima looking better. Khushi: Amma, Are you alright?Garima: Mmm.Khushi: Is it still paining?Garima: I'm fine.Khushi started eating.Garima: There is an important marriage to be attended in Agra tomorrow. Rishi: But Di has her last exam tomorrow. Khushilooked at Rishi bewildered because she told him, her exams got over.
