37 Confused Khushi

Part 37 confused Khushi

After hearing Khushi's exclamation, Arnav turned the car, took a U-turn, and came back to the lawyer's office. Khushi realized him going back to the lawyer's office.

"Where are you going?"

Arnav drove the car and said nothing. Getting off the car, he walked in. Khushi followed him, getting nothing.

Lawyer Ashok saw them coming again.

"Arrange the registration tomorrow. Convey it to Mr. Rishi Gupta" Arnav said.

Ashok stood, looking at him perplexed.

"That's final..." Arnav walked out.

Ashok switched his gaze to Khushi.

"Do what he said, uncle" Khushi followed Arnav.

She came to the car. Arnav was already sitting in it starting the engine. She sat in and Arnav drove off of the lawyer's office.

Khushi looked at him. Arnav smiled at her.

"I like your decision. It's unique and powerful" he said.

Khushi looked outside.

"I always admired your guts and confidence level. You were balanced even at the time you got to know Payal's coma condition. The way you withstand every problem amazed me. Then, why are you upset now? They are not even your people..."

Khushi swallowed down hard. Arnav understood she was in deep turmoil but he didn't know why. They came home. Khushi sat on the sofa. Arnav stood, looking at her. He didn't know what was disturbing her. He didn't know if he could ask her. He didn't know she would tell him if he asked her.

Arnav silently walked to his room. He stopped at his room entrance and looked at her. He was surprised, to see her gazing at him. What was she thinking? Did her current state of mind do something with HIM? Arnav intentionally stood and looked at her. Khushi didn't advert her gaze that wondered him. He walked back to the living room and sat in front of her, entwining his fingers.

"Do you want to say something?" He asked.

She nodded yes.

"Tell me, Khushi..."

"I don't know if I can tell you about that"

"You can tell me anything... whatever it is, I won't make you regret it... I promise."

Khushi slightly nodded ok.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Will tell you when I want to..." She went to her room.

Arnav raised his brows. He never had seen her so confused. It seemed she was fighting with her mind to make a big decision in her life. But, what made her do that in this situation? He didn't know. He decided not to nag her. He wanted her to tell him when she was comfortable. So, he didn't raise a single question about it.

Night

Dev called Arnav for dinner. Arnav came to the dining and didn't find Khushi there.

"Where is Khushi?"

"She said she is not hungry," Vimla said.

Arnav stood up and headed to her room. He knocked on the door.

"I said, I'm not hungry..." Came from inside.

"But, I'm..." Said, Arnav.

There was silence.
