40 Obsession
Part 40 Obsession
Arnav was dumbfounded when Khushi hugged him from behind. He was shocked when he sensed her crying. Arnav turned towards her and looked at her, perplexed.
"Khushi, why are you crying?"
"I'm sorry, Arnav. I suspected you and Anu. Because of me, you suffered a lot. I didn't understand the depth of your love. I should not have done that. If I had been patient, you would have been peaceful. If you had loved someone instead of me, she would have celebrated you..."
"Khushi, enough. No one would celebrate me because I wouldn't have loved anyone else. Understand your role in my life, Khushi. It's you and your character that made me fall for you. If you were not in my life, I would not have gotten the idea of loving anyone. Of course, I suffered because you were not with me. Your separation is the reason for my struggles. I understood what you meant to me when you were not with me. Now, you are back. You are with me now. I think it's the reward for my waiting..."
"Aren't you angry with me for not trusting you?"
"I was... not with you but with myself. I, too, made the mistake of hiding the truth from you. I should not have done that. Of course, Anu was my friend. Her personal issues should be kept secret. But why did I think you wouldn't keep it secret? Why didn't I trust you? I would have told you about it if I had trusted you; you wouldn't have made propaganda about Anu's matter, right? Not trusting you is my mistake. That's the point I gave the GAP to someone between us. Dhruv used that chance well."
"But, I trusted him over you..."
"Anyone in your place would have done that. Even I...! Love needs a strong assurance. Only lovers can give that to another, not through words but by their actions. I made a mistake in that. I thought about only Anu and her respect. But later, I understood that having poison for our loved ones would get us more respect. If I had realised it then, I would not have hidden it from anyone."
Khushi stared at him blankly. Arnav wiped her cheek.
"You said I struggled a lot... yes, I struggled. What about you? Didn't you struggle? You were roaming the world all alone, having no one to console you, support you. When you wanted to talk to your father, Dhruv spoke to you instead, and he tortured you to marry him. Do you think I can't understand what you underwent?"
Khushi hugged him tightly and cried her heart out. Arnav wrapped his hands around her.
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I didn't understand your generosity. I never thought about you when I was away from you. I thought I was the unlucky one. Even after I made you struggle, you are thinking about my side, standing on my shoes. I'm sorry for being stupid..."
"Shhhh... don't cry. You cried when I was not with you. If you cry even after coming to me, then what's the value of our reunion? What happened has happened. We should take it as a lesson and should not let it happen again. That's what we should do. Ok?"
She nodded, wiping her tears.
"I thought you wouldn't talk to me..."
Arnav was taken aback.
"Whhhhyyy? How would I be without talking to you?"
"I thought you were angry with me."
"Even though I'm angry with you, I can't be without talking to you..."
"How could you forgive me so easily?" She asked, looking at him, raising her head.
Arnav smiled.
"Because you are my OBSSESSION." He kissed her hair, smilingly.
She looked at him admiringly.
"Except you, there is nothing in my mind. I can't think of anything else beyond you. Being with you, talking to you, and spending my time with you is my obsession... I don't want to spoil it, in the name of anger..."
"Is it true?"
"Don't you trust me?"
"I trust you..." she leaned on his chest.
"Thanks," Arnav said, kissing her forehead.
"I'm sorry..."
"I told you..."
Cutting him,
"No, Arnav, if I had been alerted, we would have avoided our separation, and two years wouldn't have been wasted."
"Instead of feeling bad about the wasted time, we should think about how to compensate for the wasted time."
"How?"
"We should spend more time with each other..."
"Could you?"
"Why not?"
"Then what will be your business condition?"
"I will manage..."
"Are you sure?"
He nodded, and Khushi smiled.
"Khushi, I met someone today..."
"Mmm..."
"He was so glad to meet me..."
"Who is he?"
"He wants to meet you... He will be happy if you talk to him."
"Who is that?"
"Wait..."
Taking his mobile, Arnav called Ramu.
"Haan, Arnav baba..."
"You wanted to talk to Khushi, right?"
"Haannn..."
"Talk to her..."
Arnav passed the phone to Khushi. She saw the name, and it was just 'RK'. She frowned as she didn't know who the RK was.
"Hello..." Khushi said, looking at Arnav, who was smiling.
"Khushi baby..."
Khushi's eyes widened in surprise. She identified the voice. And Ramu was the one who addressed her, 'KHUSHI BABY'.
"Ramu Kaka...?" She said excitedly, looking at the smiling
Arnav.
"How are you, Khushi baby? Where were you? You know how happy I was when I met Arnav
Baba?"
"Where did you go? What happened to Babuji??"
"Dhruv attacked him..."
"Whaaat?"
"Yes, after you left the house, Arnav Baba came home and talked to Shashi Baba. He agreed to your marriage to Arnav Baba, but he didn't tell him you were missing because he wanted Arnav Baba to pass his last exam well; that was his future. Shashi Baba said to Dhruv about his decision. Dhruv became furious and threatened him to get you married to him. Shashi Baba didn't agree to it. So, he pushed him hard, and Shashi Baba's head banged on the couch's leg. He fell unconscious. Dhruv tried to wake him up, but no use. He threatened me not to open my mouth. He said if I said anything about it, he would demolish my family."
Khushi tightened her jaw wrathfully.
"I'm so glad when Arnav Baba said he married you. Be careful about Dhruv. He is a beast. Don't trust him, Baby."
"I will be careful. You too be careful."
"No one knows about my whereabouts. I didn't go to my native but shifted to Agra with my family. So, he can't find me."
"Don't underestimate him, Ramu Kaka. He is a dangerous man I have ever seen. Don't know what he will do. Please come here. Arnav will take care of you."
"I will think about it, beta..."
"Take care. I will meet you soon."
"I'm eager to meet you..."
"Bye,"
She disconnected the call. She looked at Arnav and said, regretfully,
"How blindly I trusted the cunning idiot...! He was the one who kidnapped my father..."
Arnav smiled, folding his hands, like, 'didn't I say?'
"Yes, you told me... but I didn't believe you..."
Arnav nodded, pressing his lips.
"Arnav, he should not be left without a punishment. We should do something about it. Please make sure he won't escape..."
He held her hand and said,
"Relax... why am I here? Do you think I will forgive him? It's not even a few minutes; you learned about his slyness and getting angry. Then what about me? I know what he did. I have lived with the anger for two years. Then think about my condition. How deep my wound, and the wrath be? Do you think I will get compromised? Never..." he said furiously.
That was when he got a call from NK. Arnav attended the call, looking at Khushi.
"Haaan..."
"Nannnaaavv... the operation is successful. Uncle Shashi gained his consciousness."
"Is it?"
"Yeah, he asked for Khushi..."
"We will come to Tamilnadu..."
"Yeah, he will be happy, seeing you guys..."
"Sure..." Arnav disconnected the call and smiled at Khushi.
"We are going to Tamilnadu..." Arnav said.
"Tamilnadu? But why?"
"To meet your father..." he smiled, making her dumbfounded.
To be continued...
