Khushi in Control

Truth and Acceptance

Arnav - It's about...My Father and his inhuman deed...

He gulps, he was short of words. He was scared of her reaction; he was getting all sorts of unimaginable things in mind. But Khushi surprised him by speaking as she did not want him to suffer this way.

Khushi – Arnav Ji, (She hold his hand) I know it....dont feel this guilty. You were a kid when he killed my parents in the accident. I can't see you suffer like this....let it go

Arnav – You knew?

Khushi's grip on Arnav's hand tightened as she nodded, a gentle smile on her face.

Khushi - Yes, Arnav Ji...I knew it even before you went to Sheeshmahal...That is why I wanted to come with you. I knew this would hurt you.

Arnav's eyes searched Khushi's face, looking for any sign of anger or resentment. But all he saw was love, compassion, and understanding. She continued, her voice was soft, reassuring.

Khushi - But I want you to know that I don't blame you for your father's actions. You're not responsible for what he did. You're not your father, Arnav Ji. You're a good man, a man I love and respect. Don't let his actions define you.

Arnav – What are you made of? How could you forgive me so easily? My father is the reason you lost your parents at the age of 8 and all the sufferings you had to go through. (After a long pause) I am not a saint either. Dont I know how I have treated you?

Khushi's hands cupped Arnav's face, her thumbs wiping away his tears.

Khushi - I've forgiven you because I love you, Arnav Ji. And I know that no one would love me like you do. Let's not discuss this anytime in our life. I want you in my life, I cant be without you around me.

Arnav's eyes closed, and he took a deep breath, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. He nodded, his face still cupped in Khushi's hands.

Arnav - I promise, Khushi, (he whispered, his voice filled with emotion.) We'll never speak of this again. We'll start a new life, together. You are my angel, my heart. There is no me without you....

Khushi's smile was radiant, her eyes shining with happiness. She leaned in, her lips brushing against Arnav's in a soft, gentle kiss. Arnav's arms wrapped around her, holding her close as they both let go of the past and embraced their future together.

Time stood still as they savored the moment, their hearts beating as one, their love shining brighter than ever before.In that moment, they both knew that nothing could ever come between them again. They were home, they were safe, and they were together. After resting for a while they were having breakfast.

Arnav – What is your plan, Khushi?

Khushi – No plan, I really can't listen to anything bad they speak so I want to be away.

Arnav – Make sense, we would go back when you are ready.

Khushi – Arnav Ji, how can you stay here. Di has just delivered baby; she would need you.

Arnav – Don't you need me? (Khushi's eyes met Arnav's, and she felt a surge of love and gratitude towards him.)

Khushi - Arnav Ji, I need you more than anyone else, But I also know that Di needs you right now, especially after just delivering the baby.

Arnav's face softened, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair behind Khushi's ear.

Arnav - You're my priority. More than anyone in my life. I'll stay here with you, and we'll face whatever comes next together. Di need to understand.
