MINE

Part 51 - Make A Choice

KHUSHI

"Will you please relax?" Ananya said.

I couldn't just stop pacing around and thinking about all that had happened, I dint even know how to react or how to behave, I knew nothing at all. For the first time in life I was feeling stuck, because I dint know what to or how to move ahead from where I was stuck.

Since I came into this industry, I hadn't really made much friends, Ananya was the only one I could trust and then I met Adi, and although I never loved him, I trusted him, at least I thought if nothing else he was my friend and he was always going to be.

He was just as important as Ananya was to me, and learning that what Arnav did to break us two could have actually jeopardized my friendship with Aditya, broke my heart.

I get it, he liked me and wanted to be with me, but he could have talked to me, told me what he felt, he dint have to do things like this, I was so hurt.

At one point I wanted to understand him, his life hasn't really been easy, plus the kind of family he has, I know he has a lot of problems, but this wasn't the right thing to do.

"I can't!" I look at Ananya angrily.

"You are the one that said, you asked for a crazy, mad and deep kind of love, and you can't complain then what happened now?"

"I am not complaining about his love Ananya, I just can't... the truth is too big. Imagine if someone had tried to jeopardize our friendship, would tell me to be calm? Look I am trying to understand him, but I am hurt too.

He shouldn't have done that, it's breaking my heart knowing that he's out there feeling miserable and I should be with him but the things he did are stopping me. How am I supposed to go on with this relationship? What if someday he doesn't like you being my friend and does something?"

"I thought you understood him Khushi. He is Arnav, he won't do anything to hurt you on purpose."

"Yet he has done a lot to hurt me."

"You have to understand him and be patient. What if he never told you what he did with you and Aditya? You would have never found out, at least he had the guts to tell you. His love for you made him do it.

You have to understand that he hasn't been having a good mental health because of his family, it was just the influence, but don't you see how hard he is trying to make things better between you two?

He even visited the doctor with you, he could have stepped out saying nothing was wrong with it, but he visited, because he loves you and wants you in his life, he is trying Khushi." Ananya looked at me sadly.

It wasn't like I dint understand his situation, I did, I do realize that he is just a normal human being like I am, and neither of us is perfect, but I am hurt too, he is boyfriend, he wasn't supposed to keep secrets from me.

My thoughts are distracted when out of nowhere my phone starts ringing, I grab it from the table where it had been lying for hours and look at the screen, its Dr. Roopa calling me. Why is she calling me? Is everything okay with Arnav?

"Hello Doctor, is Arnav fine?" Is the first question I ask. No matter how mad I might be at him, I would never stop caring for him.

"He is fine, but I was hoping to see you, could you come when you are free? There's something important I need to discuss with you."

"Sure, I can come right away if you're free."

"That would be great."

"Okay, I'm on my way." I disconnected the call, rushed to my room to get dressed so I could go see her.
