Part 39 Open Talk
"They are not my kids"
Khushi looked at him with disbelief. Arnav nodded yes.
"Neither they are my kids nor I'm their father. In fact, I'm not
married but a single" He said making her dumbfounded.
Khushi was gazing at him, and could not understand anything.
"What did you say? Are not they your kids? Are you unmarried?" She asked unbelievably.
"They are my sister's children" Arnav broke the egg.
"That means, it was your sister and her husband who died in an accident... not your wife..." She asked.
Arnav raised his brows.
"How do you know that?"
"Aman sir told me"
"Aman?"
"Mmm... You said you met with an accident and lost the ability to become a father, I thought your wife should also have died in the same accident."
"So?"
"I was feeling bad for both of you. That was when Aman sir asked me for a report. I prepared it hurriedly and submitted it to Aman sir but it was utterly a wrong report. That was the first and last WRONG report of my life. Aman sir asked me the reason as he knew me. I told him about your accident. That was when he said you never met with any accident"
Arnav looked at her shockingly. She nodded yes.
"That was when he said, your sister and jeejaji were the ones who died in an accident and you were not with them. I understood you lied about your father's ability stuff only to avoid me"
"Amannnnn" Arnav closed his eyes murmuring.
He looked at her and asked,
"That's why you decided to remove your uterus?"
"I had no choice. If you give me such a REASON to AVOID me, what would I do? Even though there are many simple ways to avoid getting pregnant, I wanted to find a PERMANENT solution to this issue because the human mind would get MOOD SWINGS. I don't want to put you under pressure."
Arnav felt bad not for Khushi but for himself. he didn't know how he would handle the girl in front of him.
"Are you... really an unmarried man?" She asked.
Arnav looked at her face. He could not understand if she was in disbelief or excitement. He nodded yes. Khushi averted her gaze with a mild smile. She didn't know how to stand this. Arnav was SINGLE...! That mere thought tickled her sense. His marital status changed upside down in a few seconds.
Arnav could not hold his smile even though he didn't understand what was running in her mind. Khushi looked at him and said,
"My respect for you increased tenfold, Arnavji"
Arnav was silent.
"My LOVE for you too..."
"I don't like what you did," he said rigidly.
"Leave it, Arnavji...! We should have to lose something to get something...!"
Arnav gulped down hard and said,
"Some things can't get back if we lost it once"
"We should not let some things go from us after we got it once"
Arnav blankly stared at her.
"I like you so much Arnavji. Now I feel it's worth doing it. Who would stay single for his sister's kids for more than ten years? You are a selfless man who never thought about yourself even though you have everything...! You don't have to feel bad for me. You decided to marry me. You will be with me for my lifetime. it's enough for me"
"Everything is ok but removing the uterus. I don't know what made you do it... I don't know if I could talk to you about it or not. Did you think about an important issue?"
"Are you talking about our sexual relationship?"
Arnav was thunderstruck. Yes, he wanted to talk about their sexual relationship. If she knew he avoided her by lying about his father's ability, how did she think he would take their relationship to the next level?
"Arnavji, we don't have to talk anything about our sexual relationship I suppose. Anything can happen if the circumstance leads us because it's about our feelings...!"
Arnav widened his eyes.
"We are going to be together forever. I'm in love with you. I will try to be in my control but I may get attracted to you at some moment... I may lose myself in you because I'm also a human... I too have feelings...!"
Arnav fisted his fingers as he got Goosebumps! He noticed one thing. She talked about ONLY her feelings. She didn't say you might lose yourself.
"If something happens between us unexpectedly, I don't want you to feel BAD about it. I can't tolerate it because, according to me, it's not BAD. if you are confident that I can never get pregnant, you will not feel BAD, right?"
Arnav touched his forehead with his fingertips, closing his eyes.
"I too will not feel bad for getting close to you..." She added.
Opening his eyes, Arnav looked at her through the gap of his fingers. He had the idea to tell her about the FAKE uterus removal operation but now, he changed his mind. He didn't want to tell her about it. It seemed she had analyzed everything so deeply. How practical she was! She didn't say 'I would keep my distance from you' and didn't try to cover her real self from him. He found it interesting. Of course, Khushi Gupta was a damn interesting character than anyone he met. Day by day her character was getting shined.
"For me, you and the kids are enough," Khushi said.
"But, you lost the ability of becoming a mother..." he said calmly.
"I don't feel bad for losing the ability to become a mother. How could I give you hope in this relationship, without doing that?"
"You know I'm firm in my decision of not getting married. Do you think I will get close to you?" he asked with a mild smile.
She nodded firmly, making him amazed.
"You are already got close to me..." She smiled.
Arnav could not deny it. He was closer to her than before. He too knew it.
"I'm not talking about THAT CLOSE"
Khushi was stuck. She managed herself and said,
"Everything is about our MIND, Arnavji. If your mind is ready to accept me, your HEART will also accept me one day"
"Don't you think you look overconfident?"
"I may look overconfident but I have no EXPECTATIONS about our relationship. So, you can be relaxing. You don't have to fulfil my expectations. I know your mindset. So, we don't have to think about something beyond our marriage. You asked me to be a friend of your children. I will do the same with you too... so relax"
How could he not admire this girl? He stood up.
That was when the doctor came to the room. Khushi smiled at her and Arnav stood up.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Good"
"Your husband is upset with you for making such a decision Mrs. Raizada" The doctor intentionally addressed Arnav as her husband and Khushi as Mrs. Raizada.
Both of them looked at each other and then at the doctor.
"I consoled him," Khushi said.
"Is it?" Arnav asked sarcastically.
Khushi bit her lip, looking at the doctor embarrassingly.
"Shall I take her home, doctor?" Arnav asked.
She nodded. Khushi sat on the bed.
"Is it paining?" he asked intentionally not wanting her to get doubt.
"No..."
"Don't lie"
"No, Arnavji... I don't feel any pain. It's a keyhole operation. It would not be painful"
"Is it?"
Khushi nodded yes and got down from the bed. She walked with him slowly.
"We are leaving doctor"
"I have to pay the bill," Khushi said.
"I have already paid it," Arnav said looking at the doctor gesturing for her something.
"Yeah, he paid," she said.
Khushi looked at Arnav who didn't look at her.
"Thank you, doctor" Khushi said.
"Take care of yourself, Mrs. Raizada"
She nodded ok and left with Arnav. When she came out,
"I missed my purse in the room," Khushi said.
"You sit here"
Arnav made her sit on a chair and came to the room. The doctor saw him.
"Khushi's purse..."
The doctor saw the purse on the bed. Taking it from the bed, she handed it to Arnav.
"Thank you, so much Doctor... I will pay the bill..."
The doctor nodded.
Taking his chequebook, Arnav signed it and gave it to the doctor.
"Blank cheque?" The doctor was amazed.
"For what you did for us... please accept it, Doctor"
The doctor took it and filled only the bill amount.
"Take care of your wife," She said.
Arnav nodded smiling and came out.
"Khushi, let's go"
Khushi stood up and walked with him. She wondered as she didn't even feel a little pain. So, she walked fast.
"Slowly..."
"I feel no pain, Arnavji"
"Maybe, but it may pain later"
"Mmm"
"Wait here. I will bring the car"
"Ok"
Arnav brought the car and opened the door for Khushi. She sat and Arnav started the car.
Khushi looked at Arnav and smiled thinking that he was unmarried. Arnav looked at her and asked.
"What?"
She smiled again.
"Whaaaat?"
She nodded no and smiled.
"What will you tell Dadi about your operation?" Arnav asked casually.
Khushi looked at him shockingly.
"Are you going to tell her about it?"
"Of course... we can't hide it for long"
"Why?"
"Don't you know, after the marriage they will ask for GOOD NEWS?" Arnav said seriously.
Khushi was dumbfounded. She composed and said,
"She won't ask me for good news"
"Why?" he frowned.
"Because she knows YOU," she said controlling her laughter.
Arnav looked at her shockingly and Khushi burst out laughing.
