Part 56 Issue
"In the kid's eyes, you made me the best father in the world. And, now, you shut Laxman's mouth, taking my side. Thank you so much... not just because you lifted me... thank you for coming into my life"
Arnav walked out. Khushi gazed at him silently. Arnav stopped at the doorstep and looked at her. Khushi averted her gaze.
Arnav came to his cabin and drowned into a deep thought. He should not waste time in thinking unnecessarily. He had done a lot of damage to Khushi's mind. he had to repair it even though it was the toughest task.
Khushi was also thinking about what just Arnav said. It was clear that he was repenting. His egoless words were evidence. Yet, there was something that ripped her heart. Until she got cleared about it, she could not forgive him.
Laxman saw Arnav coming out of Khushi's cabin. He rushed behind him pleading.
"ASR, please listen to me, I just did that for your betterment. Just thought to alert you"
"I don't need anyone's help to get the best in my life. Who gave you the right to taunt Mrs ASR?"
"ASR, you don't know about young girls. They will torture us. Being old men, we should be cautious with them. They will treat us disrespectfully when we become WEAKER."
"Thank you for your concern. I know how to keep myself stronger. You can leave. I don't want to deal with a weak old man like you." He walked to Aman's cabin.
At the same time, Khushi came out of her cabin with a file. She stumbled when Laxman called her.
"Mrs. Raizada..."
She banged on her cabin's door and hissed in pain.
"Ahhh..."
Arnav saw that and rushed to her.
"What happened?"
"I just banged..." she said rubbing her knee.
She shrugged her leg and tried to walk but she again hissed.
"Mrs. Raizada, I'm sorry for talking to you unwantedly. Please ask ASR to continue my deal."
"Mr, Laxman... she is already in pain. You are annoying her." Arnav said.
"I just apologised to her."
"Even though she forgives you, I won't... is that clear? Leave."
"She is not even ready to forgive me and he thinks he could achieve that." Arnav murmured. That was slightly audible to Khushi. She tried to be rigid.
Arnav looked at Khushi.
"Where are you going?"
"Aman sir needs this file."
"Give it to me. I will give him."
"That's ok... I can walk."
"Oh really?"
"Mmm..." she walked limping.
In no time, Arnav lifted her in his arms and walked to Aman's cabin, making her awestruck.
"What are you doing?"
"You want to give the file to Aman, right? I just am helping you to do it."
He pushed Aman's cabin door by his leg. Aman stood up seeing him lifting Khushi in his arms.
"ASR..."
"She wants to give this file..." Arnav made her sit on the chair before Aman and walked out, leaving both of them awkward.
Arnav saw Laxman still standing there like a statue. Arnav knew he was the one who made him statue. He came to him all the way looking at him and asked,
"Do you lift your wife just like I did?"
"My wife is very stout, unlike your wife..."
"Yes... your wife and my wife are not the same... that's the reality. We both are taking exams in different subjects. Our question papers are also different. So, don't try to teach me your subject. First, you try to get a pass mark on it. I know how to pass my exam" he walked to his cabin.
In the meanwhile,
Khushi looked at Aman embarrassingly.
"Laxman would have fainted seeing him lifting you." Aman laughed.
Khushi bit her lip not to smile.
"Are you alright, Khushi?"
She nodded yes.
"This is why ASR hesitated to get married. People in this society would take other's life as entertainment."
"Why should we entertain them by heeding their words, Sir?"
"Yeah... but not everyone is understanding like you, Khushi. ASR is lucky. He got you as his life partner."
Aman stopped for a few seconds and said,
"Khushi, Arnav is a strong guy. Please don't feel it through your heart if he makes any mistake..."
Khushi was silent.
"Are you really hurt?"
"No, sir... I just banged on the door. the pain was high at that time but now, I'm alright"
"He is like that... he won't bear his loved one's pain."
Khushi nodded.
Evening
Arnav winded up his work and came to Khushi's cabin. She had not logged off the computer yet. She saw him entering her cabin.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
She nodded.
He silently pulled the chair and sat in front of her without uttering a single word, letting her do her work. Khushi glanced at him and got to know he was staring at her only. Saving the file, she logged off the computer.
Taking her bag, she stood up and walked out. Arnav followed her sighing.
In the car
"I know you are upset with me"
Khushi looked at him and again looked out.
"I should have understood you too equally concerned about the kids. I'm sorry for not understanding you, Khushi."
"Do you understand me now?" Came from Khushi.
Arnav looked at her and then at the road.
"I'm not upset with you because you get angry at me for providing pizza for the kids. I know you did that out of care. I too was wrong at my place. I should have told you about my surprise plan before itself..."
"If you are not upset with me for that reason, then why are you not talking to me? are you upset with me for some other reason?"
Khushi turned her face opposite to him.
Arnav pressed the brake and stopped the car.
"Khushi, I'm sorry I can't understand why you are upset with me."
"Oh really?" She looked at him gritting her teeth.
Arnav was taken aback, seeing her anger.
"Yeah... I don't know why you are upset."
"Yeah, you would not understand... if you had understood, you would not have told me that I'm getting your control under my feet..." she said panting hard.
Arnav understood what made her feel distraught. He gulped down hard. He silently started the car again and geared it up. He saw Khushi wiping her cheek. He regretted making her cry. She was not upset for shouting at her... she was not angry with him for throwing the food but for uttering such words without understanding her. He could understand what kind of affect those word made in her mind.
As he got to know the exact issue that damaged her heart, he had to repair the damage in the same way, he supposed.

Khushi didn't wait for Arnav and got out of the car. Arnav waited in the car. This was a sensitive issue. It must be handled with care. He decided what to do and headed to his room.
Khushi was in the washroom when he came to their room. He waited for her to come out. She came wiping her face. She reacted as if there was no one called Arnav but Arnav was not in the mood to let her do it. He came in front of her, blocking her way. Khushi looked at him plainly.
"Yes, I said that in anger... you know what, now, I think it's better to be under your feet."
Khushi looked at him perplexed. She didn't know what he meant.
"Can't you get me under your control, Khushi?"
Khushi tried to read his eyes.
"Didn't you have many ideas to make me fall for you? You told me about one...! Why don't you try that?" he tapped her nose and went to the washroom smilingly.
Khushi was looking at him as if he was a ghost.
