IPKKND FF FELONIOUS

Part 3(C)

He sat there silently listening, never interrupting her. There is a lot he learned about her today. The girl had a lot to deal with than he imagined. While he was little shocked with her being an orphan, he understood the reason for her being so secretive. Trust is something which comes very hard to them. When they are betrayed by the own family it's no surprise that they don't trust strangers that easily.

Khushi treated NK as a family, the separation is taking a toll on her, he can make it out. He tried to convince her that it's just her thoughts which are making her weak and NK would be all fine out there, he wasn't able to say further when she looked up to meet his eyes with a teary glance silently asking at least him to support her.

That moment he decided he will help her with all that he can and when he said it loud the unexpected happened. Within seconds Khushi lurched forward from her bed to hold him tight in her embrace. Within seconds she pulled away before he could make out what has actually happened.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.." the fear that she be judged by her behavior was reflecting on her face.

He would be stupid if he judges her in any improper way, he learned some new things about her today and he wants to continue this journey with her.

Wrapping an arm around her shoulders he pulled her close and whispered in her ears " its okay I understand. I'm with you"

She sunk into the warmth of his side, appreciative of his simple gesture. A small part of her thoughts said that this guy will stand by her no matter what.

To avoid awkwardness he stirred the conversation to the matter at hand.

"I will see what I can do from my end, once you are discharged together we will discuss on what's to be done next until then you please relax ok?"

"No further arguments on this" when she tried to deny he declared the ultimatum.

She was trying all means to seed a doubt in her family's mind. Returning home late from the office, the secret phone calls, keeping the phone continuously engaged, not eating properly, everything which came to her mind. But nothing seems to work in her favor. It's like her family is completely fine with her change.

She tried to talk to Aman but he was always busy in one work or other. She couldn't fathom the reason behind him being always busy. Is he also having a secret life like her? Is that the reason behind his continuous absence for the dinners almost every second day?

How she wished one day by the time she wakes up she finds Shyam waiting beside her bed in the attire of groom waiting to make her as his, the next moment.

"Khushi, we don't know under which branch NK is taken in. I tried asking the details over the phone but they say we have to go personally to get any further details." He tried to get the contact details of the institute from the internet but seems that it is not going to work still.

"We will go then."She was happy that Arnav could get some details.

"Yes, We can go but the matter is that I have been taking a lot of permission and leaves since past 10 days and me.." he didn't know how to post the matter to her without making her feel bad.

"I know its because of me right. Please give me the details I will go alone. I don't want your life to get affected because of me."

"No, no Khushi, I promised you I will be there with you it's just that I'm a new joiner there, it doesn't look good if I keep on avoiding my work. It's a residential school so we will go on coming Sunday. Until then please wait. We both will go and find out." He neither wants to let her deal with it alone nor he wants to keep his career at risk due to small issues. It's his dad who is involved just because he promised to be with Khushi doesn't mean he can neglect his duties towards his father. His dad is above all.
