PART 7:
Khushi just closed her eyes and tried to sleep...all the events from the past few days had really stressed her out a lot...and she was really tired. If not physically then mentally...she thought of all the good times she had spent with him...she got up and sat near the bed and held his hand in hers..."I LOVE YOU ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA!!!! I REALLY DO!!!" she whispered...she cried silently again , hoping that arnav would forgive her...only if she what was actually in store for her!!!!!
It was midnight when arnav regained his consciousness. He was a mess. "Ah...why is my lower abdomen paining so much?" he thought as he tried to adjust his eyes to the darkness. And then , like a rocket engine , it all came crashing to arnav. He was at khushi's house. He saw Samar. Khushi betrayed him. And Samar stabbed him. His blood boiled. Boiled for the fact that he let that bas***d go without even punching him on his guts. He now looked here and there and finally found his eyes resting on a petite figure , sleeping on the sofa and waiting for him to wake up.
"Khushi!" his mind yelled. But he couldn't make himself say that word. The word which was associated to his fragile and broken heart. As he tried to move his fingers , he saw her eyes opening slightly , peeping towards him and suddenly , she jumps out of the sofa and is standing next to him. He saw Khushi smiling and somewhere it just broke his heart even more , because he didn't know what to expect from her anymore. Sarcasm or care? Hatred or Love?
Khushi was overwhelmed to see arnav awake. She quickly touched his cheeks and carressed it. Her tears were flowing down her cheeks and she just stood there , drinking in the feeling of getting back her life. It was as if she had stopped breathing. Arnav looked at the other side , motioning her to remove her hand from his cheeks , his heart aching as if it would burst any moment but still he maintained his calm. "Khushi...what are you doing here...???" he asked , calmly. Khushi weeped silently at his action but she knew she deserved it. "Arnav...why are you asking me this...when you know that you are injured?!" she said , in a hurry. Arnav looked at her for a fraction of second and again continued to look at the other side.
"Arnav...i...i a..am sorry..." khushi burst into tears. Even though arnav was going through such a heart ache , he didn't like to see khushi in tears. "Hey khushi...i am fine...seriously! It doesn't hurt!" he tried to smile but khushi knew the truth. She had seen it happening and seeing arnav , almost dying out there , was something which stabbed her heart , over and over again.
She kept her hand over his , but arnav pulled out of her grasp and looked to the other side. He didn't know how to react. His eyes were filled with tears and his vision was blur. Khushi closed her eyes. She knew that arnav would be angry with her and might even hate her. "Khushi..." arnav spoke in hoarse voice. "Khushi...go back home! You need rest!" he said. "No arnav...i..ican't leave you like..." "I am fine..." he stopped her. "I'll be fine...now go!" he whispered as he looked deep into her eyes.
"Will you ever forgive me arnav?" she asked. Arnav sighed. He knew she wanted to explain and he let her do it. "I wanted revenge arnav...i...seeing you after so many years it just...i thought that...that your heart should be broken the way you broke mine..." and with this , khushi broke down. Arnav didn't know what to say. He touched her cheeks softly and looked into her eyes. "Khushi...your absence broke my heart , your indifference would have broken my heart , but khushi your revenge...it killed me..." he sighed and removed his hand from her cheeks.
"Arnav please forgive me...please..." she cried as she held his hospital shirt tightly. Arnav hugged her. "I...i forgive you khushi..." he said. "But...i am sorry khushi we can't be together...anymore..." he said. Khushi was shocked. "What...why? No no arnav...please...i don't want to loose you..." she cried. "I am sorry khushi...but i can't...i have a broken heart...i need to fix it...and to fix it...i need to get away from the reason it broke...and that was you!" he said. "Arnav , i forgave you for what you did...can't you do the same thing...with me?" khushi sobbed.
"I wish i can khushi...but i need to think about it...i am too shocked at all this and i don't know what to do...khushi your a wonderful women and believe me...someone worthy enough will surely marry you and cherish you for ever..." arnav said as each word broke his heart even more. Khushi was getting more confused. "And that person is definitely not me khushi..." he said and removed her hands from his shirt. "We can be in contact khushi but...i don't think we can be together..." he said as a lone tear escaped his eye.
"Arnav...arnav you have to believe me...i...never wanted this...never...i never wanted to hurt you..." she cried. "I too...never meant to hurt you that time khushi...and i am deeply sorry for that..." he sighed. "No please arnav..."she said as she saw him closing his eyes , and gradually falling to sleep.
"I am sorry for the things i did arnav...i truely am!" she cried and went away to call the doctor and tell him about arnav's regaining consciousness.
