Till Death Do Us Part

Part 9

Her windchimes , her stars were all back to their old place. Infact they were more in number now giving the room a beautiful look just as khushi would have dreamt of. She was looking around amazed. She walked up to the bed and saw a card lying on the bed..which said 'I am sorry'. She opened it and read the note:

Khushi main janta hoon ki maine tumharey sath bohot bura kiya and I am very very sorry for that. I know maine jo kiya uske liye sorry kaafi nehi hai , but I promise ajke baad main tumhe bilkul bhi hurt nehi karunga..i am really very sorry.... Arnav (khushi I know I have been very bad with with you and I am very very sorry for that. I know sorry is not enough for whatever I did...but I promise I will never hurt you again... i am really very sorry.... Arnav)

Khushi had tears in her eyes. She turned around and saw arnav sitting on the floor on his knees with his head hung down.

Khushi was shocked to see him like this. She almost screamed and ran to him saying: arnavji..yeh aap kya kar rahe hai? (arnavji..what are you doing?)

Arnav with his head still hung down said: khushi I have hurt you a lot..i am very very sorry for that..please mujhe maaf kardo...please. (khushi I have hurt you a lot..i am very very sorry for that..please forgive me...please.)

Khushi slowly sat beside him and lifted his face up and looked into his eyes which were red and full of tears. She said: arnavji...hum samajh saktey hai ki apne yeh sab kyun kiya...hum jantey hai aap di se bohot pyaar kartey hai aur unki khushi ke liye aap kuch bhi kar saktey hai. Humey dukh zarur huya tha lekin hum aapse naraaz nehi hai. (I understand why you did all this..i know you love your sister a lot and you can do anything for her happiness. I was hurt but I am not angry with you)

Arnav's tears knew no bounds. He hated himself even more for causing so much pain to this lovely girl who was so pure at heart. He just managed to say: kh..khushi..i...

Khushi pressed her finger on his lips and said: shhh..and pulled his face towards her chest. Arnav wept like a child burying his face on her chest. All those tears, pain and grief that were buried inside him for such a long time wanted to come out at once. Arnav Singh Raizada who always fought with the world, with destiny to protect his family, for the first time in life felt protected and safe in her arms. Khushi was constantly caressing his hair to comfort him.

After sometime khushi broke the hug and said: bas arnavji ab aap yeh sab sochke bilkul bhi aapne aap ko taklif nehi denge . (you will not hurt yourself anymore by thinking of all these)

She wiped his tears and said: aap rotey huye bilkul ache nehi lagtey..aap to bas humse jhagartey huye ache lagtey ho. (you don't look good while crying...you only look good while fighting with me)

Arnav also had a little smile on his face at this.

They both got up. Arnav put khushi on the bed and covered her with a blanket and was about to go when khushi held his hand.
