23 Dilemma
Part 23 Dilemma
"May I ask you something?" Arnav asked.
Khushi nodded.
"Is she really your biological mother?"
Khushi nodded yes.
"Why is she giving more importance to Naveen than you?"
"They are our family friends. Naveen's father and my father are childhood friends. My parent like Naveen so much. That's why they permitted him to enter our house anytime. I got to know Naveen's parent want to get him married to me"
"How do you know?"
"Naveen himself told me after the mess that, that's why he crossed his limits. I think his parents would have spoken to my parents about it. That's why my mother should have fixed her mind"
"Means?"
"She won't change her mind if she fixed it once"
"I can't understand how she is not realizing your feelings" He sighed and stood up. He became immovable hearing,
"Do you realize my feelings, Arnavji?" She asked.
He looked at her jerking.
"Do you realize what I feel? Do you feel my pain?"
Arnav looked at her even though he was suffocating.
"I know you realized my feelings. That's why you brought me here. Thank you so much..."
"I brought you here for..."
Cutting him,
"For your kids... right?"
He swallowed hard.
"Don't think I want to marry you because I have been surrounded by a problem. I want to marry you because I like you because no one is like you"
"I know what made you like me? I didn't think of a second marriage, right?"
Before Khushi replied,
"If it is the reason, you should think about the risk. What will you do if I don't forget my wife after I married you? What if I don't accept you as my wife? What will you do if I don't give a chance to our relationship and continue being with my wife's memories?"
"I will respect you more than before... I will feel proud to be your wife... More than everything, I will be happy with your kids. They will love me for sure... unlike you"
"Khushi, I can't understand how to make you understand..."
"I'm also in the same state as you but I'm not going to make you understand because I know you already understood. Of course, I too understood your problem. It's obvious if you think I will change after the marriage and will hate kids. Some doubts can't be cleared without trust, Arnavji."
Arnav didn't know how to make Khushi understand. She was not in the condition to listen to not only him but anyone. But he had to make her back off. So, he decided to play a TRICK. He had no choice. He had to stop her. To do that, he should do it.
"Don't believe in the illusion created by your mind, Khushi. Believe in the truth that exists in reality. Don't get fooled by the unreal kinds of stuff"
"What do you mean UNREAL, Arnavji? Are not you real? Am I not real? Is not my feelings for you real?"
Arnav gulped down hard. He made up himself.
"If you think, you can get my property by marrying me..." He started speaking with hesitation half-heartedly.
Khushi stopped him showing her palm with a smile.
"Why are you trying something that is not your cup of tea, Arnavji?"
Arnav was stuck.
"Don't try to show yourself rude. I'm not going to fall for your trick because I know you" Khushi said making him speechless.
Arnav managed himself.
"I'm telling the truth. My properties are in the kids' name. I transferred them long ago"
"So?"
Arnav gulped down.
"I'm working. I will continue the job after our wedding too. I will look after your needs. Doesn't my salary enough for both of us? She asked.
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Is it necessary for you to live such a life, Khushi?"
"It depends on our interest, Arnavji. This is my life. I want to live it as per my wish. I like you. What's wrong if I want to marry you?"
"Khushi, I didn't get married because my kids are important to me. I don't want to face problems with my wife and I'm sure I will face problems because of my kids. That's why I didn't get married. Can't you understand this simple logic?"
"What logic are you talking about, Arnavji? You didn't get married not because your kids are important to you... it's because your wife would also become important to you if you get married. You knew very well you would give equal importance to your wife in your life and would consider her as a part of your life. You didn't want to break your wife's heart going against her wish. You could not do that. That's why you didn't get married" She stopped and gulped hard.
Arnav was speechless. He didn't know what to say because he could not say she was wrong.
"Anything else, Arnavji...?"
"I didn't tell you the REAL reason. I thought I could manage without telling the truth but I can't" he hesitated.
Khushi frowned.
"Actually, I met with an accident and lost the ability of..." he stopped and looked at Khushi.
"I can't become a father," he said.
Khushi was stuck for a few seconds. Her facial expression changed.
"Is it...? I too have some problems in my uterus... I was thinking about taking treatment regarding... now, it's not necessary. I feel relieved" She smiled.
Arnav was looking at her like, what kind she was?
"By the way, Arnavji, you said you may not accept me as your wife? But now thinking about becoming a father...?"
Arnav's expression changed. He averted his gaze somewhere, and could not answer. She smiled brightly.
Khushi smiled, seeing the kids rushing towards her.
"Have you had dinner?" Khushi asked.
"Yeah..." they sat on the bed with her.
Arnav aw Aarav bringing her plate.
"Why are you bringing this? I asked Dadi to send it with Laxmi Didi"
"That's ok Dad"
Aarav gave the plate to Khushi.
"Thank you" Khushi took the plate from him.
"Dad, you go and have dinner," Shali said.
Arnav nodded yes and left the guest room to have dinner but not before looking at Khushi once. Dadi was in the living room, instructing Laxmi to be with Khushi.
Arnav came to the dining and HP served him dinner. Though he was eating, his mind was thinking about what Khushi asked him. he didn't know how to manage her. It seemed he could not stop her. She had a solution for every problem. He didn't know what to do.
Arnav straightened to see Dadi sitting in front of him.
"Is Khushi comfortable?"
Arnav nodded yes.
"It seems she is so COMFORTABLE with you..."
Arnav looked at her sternly.
"I mean she came to your house. That means she trusts you, right?"
Arnav looked at his plate.
"Accept her, Arnav"
Arnav looked at her jerking, like, how do you know?"
"I'm sorry, I heard your talks"
Arnav closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry for doing that. Sometimes, we have to do all this for the welfare of our people. Khushi thinks you are married and the kids are yours. Yet, she wants to marry you. She likes your kids, and vice versa. Kids will be happy if they get Khushi as their mother. You too know that. then, why are you hesitating Arnav?"
"Dadi, she is so younger than me. Her mother will not agree to this marriage. It will create the biggest problem for Khushi"
"when she is ready to face the problem, why are you bothered about it? Just stand with her. Give her courage. She will defeat the problem"
"Do you think she will be like this for her whole life? what if she changes after she gets her own child?"
"Why are you thinking negative? Can't you think in the right way?"
"I can't Dadi..."
"Ok, tell me one thing. Will you let her marriage happen with the boy she hates?"
"Who am I to think of her wedding, Dadi?"
"Stop cheating yourself, Arnav. If you think you are no one to her, why would you bring her here?"
"I brought her here for the kids"
"Then, marry her for the kids. They need her... like her"
"They are kids. What do they know?"
"You know everything but what's the use? You are wavering..."
Dadi was not wrong. Arnav was wavering. He could not conclude anything. He was in a dilemma.
