Part 37 Angered Khushi

GH

Khushi came from the college all upset. Garima saw her face and sensed the difference.

*Khushi...* she called.

*Haann...? *

*Are you alright? *

Khushi got alerted.

*Haan...*

*You look disturbed...* She questioned.

*Headache...* Khushi lied.

*Do you want coffee?* Garima asked.

*Please...*

Garima nodded yes and went to the kitchen whereas Khushi went to her room. Garima knew Khushi is not fine and the headache is an excuse. Preparing coffee, she went to Khushi's room. Khushi was sitting on the bed, looking at the floor blankly, without even washing her face. After coming from college, she always goes to the washroom to get fresh, unlike that day.

Garima touched her shoulder. Khushi looked at her raising her head.

*What happened, beta?*

Khushi nodded no taking the coffee cup from Garima's hand.

*What's bothering you, Khushi? *

Garima sat in front of her. Khushi nodded no and sipped the coffee.

*Do you like Arnav?* Garima asked.

Khushi stopped drinking coffee and looked at her startlingly.

*I know you like him...*

*It does nothing...* She said.

*You can talk to your Babuji...*

Khushi nodded no.

*Why?*

*The reason Babuji had given is a valid one. Could we say he is wrong? His fear is justified, Amma* She said sighing.

*Will you marry someone other than Arnav?*

*No...* the answer came quickly.

*Then?*

*I will always be single...* she kept the cup, finishing the coffee.

*Have you gone mad?*

Khushi turned her face astonishingly.

*I ask you something*

*Amma... Arnav is a changed man now but I can't stand for him going against Babuji. If Arnav loves me sincerely, he will get my hand from Babuji*

*Won't you see him in college?*

*Why not? I will meet him... I have to ask him whether he loves me or not...* she said gritting her teeth.

Garima nodded her head from left to right and sighed.

*You and your father...* Garima left her room, taking the cup.

Arnav was laying down on the bed with his eyes open. He didn't even sense Ratna's presence until she touched his shoulder. Arnav looked at her shaking.

*Mom...*

Ratna sat on the bed, next to him, looking at his face.

*Anything wrong, Mom?*

*You lost your charm and Arvind is not at all eating properly. I don't like all these, Chotte...*

Arnav looked down.
