A shocked Arnav who had just arrived from doing Gunjan and Akshat final rites ,stood at the door threshold in astonishment staring at Khushi who was playing with the twins contrary to his expectation.
He was confused seeing her who behaved normal as if she hadn't just lost her brother and Bhabhi a day back.
On his way home,he had prepared himself on how to handle his wife thinking by now she'll be crying her eyes out but like past day her eyes were dry with only sadness which he caught.
Confusion mirrored on his face not knowing what conclude anymore seeing this new Khushi realizing he hardly know his wife well for more they are together she appear a mystery to him
"Aru ,you've been standing their for long"
Uttered Khushi who already felt his presence immediately he arrived. Arnav sigh entering inside his eyes expressing telling he was immensed in thought and the creases on his forehead telling his confusion.
Keeping aside the Urn containing both the couples ashes,he stood Infront of the three attracting the twins attention. Seeing them who were innocently playing, his heart ache seeing Amu smile who hardly knows the cruelty of this world which has just took their parents away from them.
Khushi who knew what Arnav was thinking seeing the way he was staring at the twins ,exclaim holding Amu in her arms who was about to head towards Arnav failing the little girl movement.
"Aru, go take shower before this ladoo jumps on you"
Khushi uttered calmly and Arnav headed upstairs hurriedly seeing Amu who was pouting staring at him,a cue for him to hold her.
Until he disappeared on the stairs, Khushi's eyes was following his steps a painful sigh emerging from her mouth recalling the look Arnav was giving her on his arrival.
He didn't know how hard she was controlling herself from mourning the lose of for her brother and Bhabhi yet she had to plaster a smile and calm look on her face knowing crying will not solve the problem .
Plastering a smile on her face she stared at the twins whose eyes were on her. Swallowing hard,she stared at them not knowing how she'l comfort them immediately they'll cry for their parents.
Her eyes clouded with tears for her mind had totally registered the absence of his brother whom she'l never see physically or tie rakhi on her wrist again.
But before it can drop ,she wiped it hurriedly knowing breaking down at this moment while not benefit her in any way or neither will it bring his brother's culprit Infront of her.
She mourned inwardly the wound inflicted on her by this event itching but she promised herself a sister in her won't shed tears until she bring every person involved in the demise of her brother and Bhabhi to mother earth.
She'l show no mercy, inflict pain on them ,that they'l wish for death but she won't give them easily.That's the day she'l celebrate. Until then only her action will speak
This incident has brought a new Khushi,a Khushi who'l only care about her children and husband but she won't be an emotional fool.
Clearing of throat interrupted her thought startling her who narrowed her eyes seeing Arnav who was well groomed taking his place on the floor Infront of them.
