Chapter 52: Part 50(Moments)
They broke the hug as they heard a knock on the door. She looks at the door, H.P. was standing with a tray of soup. Both felt a little shy. She got up from the bed and took the tray from his hands. H.P went away.
"Khushi close the door please" Arnav requests
She nods and does the same. She came near the bed and handed him the soup bowl. He made a face as he didn't want to have it.
Don't make faces it is necessary for your health. Just take it.
You very well know I don't like vegetable soup. I am not going to take it. He kept the bowl aside. I am sleepy.
Arnav don't act like a kid. She picks up the bowl and sat near him.
I am a kid you only told me just a few minutes back. So I will act like one. Anyways I am already full. So no Soup.
Fine, so you don't value my words. I am the mad one trying here.
Don't emotional blackmail me Alright. You used to do it in college days too.
Ok, she kept the bowl aside making a dull face.
Huh, I am ready to drink he made an annoying face.
What really? Thank you. She immediately picks the bowl and offers.
I have not finished yet. He said I will drink but you will make me drink it with your hands. Not me. If you agree to it. I will have it otherwise I will sleep.
Arnav, this is not done. You are being unfair. It is for your good health you can't keep condition.
Look whose talking. Emotional blackmailing me is fair, isn't it? Anyways I don't want any discussion on it. Want me to have it or not you have to decide.
You are such a manipulative person
That I am. Now You have decided or need more time? Soup is getting cold.
Arnav, please...
So, you won't make me drink fine I will sleep then. He is about to pull the blanket.
Stop, She gives an angry look and sits beside him but he looks at her with a smile indicating her he won. She makes an irritating face although she was happy inside. It was after a long time they were back to their small nok-jhoks just like those beautiful college days. She had missed these moments so much.
She dips the spoon in the bowl takes out some soup in spoon and start to blow some air on soup
She dips the spoon in the bowl takes out some soup in the spoon and start to blow some air on soup.
She brings the spoon near his mouth. He drinks it quietly. Though he had always hated this soup and the soup was tasteless as expected. But today he had no complains how could he have any complains afterall it was her who was making him drink it. This pampering was not an everyday thing that he would feel. It was some rare times. Since she was always a shy kind of person so such gestured from her side were rare. He was constantly staring and admiring her. Although her full concentration was on soup. Finally, the soup was finished. She kept the bowl in the tray and gave him a napkin to clean his face.
She picks up the tray."I am going downstairs to keep the tray you need something?"
Tum(You) he said in a husky voice.
Her cheeks had the little pink shade as she heard his reply. She chose not to answer him. As she was about to walk from his side he held her wrist.
"Abhi na Jaao chhodkar ki dil abhi Bhara nahi" he sang the little line. (Don't leave me right now cause my heart yet needs you)
Love... Ar... Arnav hath chhodiye humara So jayeye aap rest ki zarurat hai aapko.(Love...Ar... Arnav Leave my hand. You should sleep you need rest.)
Aur agar esa nahi karu to mai? (And what if I don't do what you say) he asked still holding her wrist. He slowly gets up from the bed. Her heartbeat increases as he comes closer to her slowly and slowly staring at her. She was very nervous. She held the tray tightly and as he came towards her she moved backwards. Her back touches the wall. He leaves her hand and keeps both of his hand on the sides of the walls to block her from going away. He comes closer to her but as he had already left her hand so she pushes him lightly so he moves back and runs out from there.
He smiles remembering the moment. He lies down on the bed. She goes down, enters inti kitchen and keeps the tray in the washbasin. Her heart was still beating fastly. She holds the kitchen slab closes her eyes and the moment again flashes in her mind. It was so different his proximity always created unknown emotions and feeling in her heart. She liked it but at the same time felt too nervous and shy. When they were in college she had slowly started to get comfortable even if he was close. But now things had changed she need time to be back to her comfort zone. Finally, after some time her racing heartbeats were in control. She comes out of the kitchen with a water bottle. She needs to give him medicine.
Arnav she calls as she enters in his room.
Yeah, he answers as he opens his eyes.
Sorry, I disturbed your sleep but you need to have your medicines.
No, I wasn't sleeping just had closed my eyes. You know was just remembering the last night and our...
She cuts him in between she knew where this conversation was leading to. "Here have your medicines and sleep."
He holds her hands instead of medicine. She looked at him as if gesturing him to leave it. Sit beside me. Okay, fine I won't tease you more. "Arnav please", she said. Come on he said in pleading tone. She sits beside him. He takes medicine. She gets a call from Aman. She attends the call and informs Aman that Arnav was better now. Also, she asks if he explained N.K. about the urgency of the situation. Aman assured her that N.K. is okay with it.
Arnav too gets a call from his mother he didn't hide that he was ill but hides the reason of him being ill. He assures her that he is better now and they need not hurry as he had Khushi to take care of him.
Finally, Arnav sleeps. Khushi puts his and her phone on vibration so that his sleep is not disturbed.
She was tired so she also slept with the magazine on the recliner. She wakes up after an hour to hear a knock on the door. Arnav's sleep is also disturbed. Khushi gets up and moved towards the door to open it.
She opens the door it was Lavanya standing there. She is confused of who is this girl and what was she doing in Arnav's room.
Who is it Khushi? Arnav asks in a sleepy voice.
"Hi, Arnav" Lavanya greets as she gets inside.
"Hey, Lav you here come, sit" She sits on the chair. Her expression describing her confusions.
You look ill? What happened? She asked.
I caught a cold actually yesterday I got drenched in rain and Lav she is Khushi. I wasn't well and Maa isn't here either so she came to help me. He said.
Oh! Well, I am a bit confused we may clear them later. Actually I need your signature on this paper and you know what I am hearing about Viraj? He didn't come to the office and had given his resignation. What is it? She asked.
His blood boiled as he heard Viraj's name. He looks at Khushi she blinks her eyes to tell him to calm down.
Umm, I will explain it to you said Arnav as he looks at Khushi.
Khushi was about to go out of the room. Arnav noticed that. Jaa... Khushi comes here, sit please. She sits beside him. He slowly tells her everything from starting.
Lavanya was in shock. She couldn't believe Viraj could do this. Lavanya always had a soft corner for Viraj but she never expressed it. Her parents were little conservative about such things so could never build the courage to express it to Viraj. Arnav had a little idea of it. But then in these years they had very less or no interaction as he was not here. He had thought to talk about her feeling with Lavanya. But then he got to know the true face of that filthy face. He intentionally didn't speak of it to her. He knew she will feel bad.
Are you sure? Maybe there is some misunderstanding? She said.
No Lav he accepted it and I had the proofs. She had tears in her eyes. Lav don't cry please I know it really painful but...
She wipes her tears. Umm, Arnav sign these papers please it is important. I need to go now we will talk later. She said.
He could understand her state of mind after the revelation of such a hurtful incident.
He signs the paper. She leaves immediately. Khushi tried to stop her but Arnav gestured her not to he knew she needed time.
Arnav was also disturbed by the present scenario. He closed his eyes just then Khushi kept her hand on his shoulder as a gesture of assurance. He opens his eyes and looks at her. She sits beside him. "Everything is going to be fine. Please don't stress yourself." She held his palm. He nods his head acknowledging her words.
She knew it had totally turned his mood off. "Arnav let us sit at the poolside. You are here in the room from the morning." She says getting up from the bed. "But..."
"Please Arnav" she pleads.
He nods in approval and gets up to accompany her. They sit on the chair. He just closes his eyes again. No one speaks for a few minutes. Finally, Arnav breaks the silence and starts telling her about how disappointed he was with this act of Viraj and of how he knew about the feeling Lavanya had for Viraj.
"Arnav can't we bring back Viraj. You told me that he regrets his mistakes. You know people change and he might have changed maybe? Can't you forgive him?" She said.
What are you saying Jaan? Why are you even saying it? You very well know what he did. No,I will never ever forgive that man." His eyes spitting fire.
"Arnav everyone deserves a chance and think about Lavanya" she tried to explain.
"Lavanya deserve a much better person in her life that man is not the guy she should wail for. I know him he won't change what he wants he tries to grab it by hook or crook and this time it is about you Jaan. I won't take any risk. If I will ever see that man again I will kill him." He said angrily.
"Arnav see..." she said but was cut in between by Arnav.
"Please, Khushi I don't need a discussion over it. "He said as he got up from the chair and moved towards the washroom.
The way he spoke his last statement showed his frustration. A lone tear escaped her eyes. She was about to wipe her tear but then a hand came and wiped it. She looks above. Arnav shakes his head in a no telling her not to cry. She gets up from her chair and stands aside.
He goes to her hugs her from behind keeping his chin on her shoulder
He goes to her hugs her from behind keeping his chin on her shoulder.
"I am sorry. Please don't cry. I am not angry with you. You know my condition. I know you are not wrong, Jaan but now I don't want to open his chapter. I am scared Khushi. Losing you once I had survived but this time I just won't. I am so sure. I don't want to think about him. I am sorry please won't you forget your love. Please Jaan" he pleads.
"I am not angry with you. It just you never raise your voice so when you do I get a bit..." she was cut in between.
"Scared" he completed kissing her cheek lightly. "I won't do that again," he said.
"You can do this. You have the rights to share anything your every emotion be it anger or love or frustration." She told him.
"Really" he questioned his tone mischievous."Then how about showing my other emotion. I mean my love towards you Jaan?" he asked.
She blushed and tried to get out of his hold but was that possible."Shut up Arnav. I didn't mean that way". She told.
"Then in what way you meant it? Bothered to explain." He said.
"No, now leave me. Let us have some food. Then you need to have your meds too."
Okay, he let her go.
