48 Sudden Decision
Part 48 Sudden Decision
In the meanwhile,
"I will bring something for you to eat," Aman said.
"No need, Aman. Hariprakash is coming with our breakfast." Arnav said.
"Oh... Khushi has not eaten anything since last night. That's why I said."
"Yeah, she can't eat anything beyond her diet chart," Arnav said strictly.
At the same time, HP came with a bag.
"How are you Arnav baba?"
"Fine..."
HP kept the bag on the table.
"Did you take a break on the way to the hospital?" Arnav inquired cautiously.
"No, Arnav baba. I started the scooter at RM and stopped it only in the hospital."
"That's good... "
"I'm leaving."
"Bring our lunch here."
HP nodded ok and left.
"Come on, guys. Have breakfast," Arnav called.
"You guys have. I'm going home. I have an exam today."
"Oh, yeah..."
"You guys don't care about it because the management will give you extra exam marks."
"It's because we are the National Meet participants, dude, and you studied last night..." Arnav said.
"Mmm... that's why I want to attend the exam to fill the papers with whatever I studied last night," Aman said, chuckling.
"All the best"
"Thank you... bye Khushi"
"Bye..."
Aman left.
"Have it, Khushi."
"You, too, have it. You have to take medicine."
"The nurses already punched me with a lot of injections, and I'm feeling better now."
"It doesn't mean you can skip your medicine."
Arnav sighed.
"Why are you reacting this way? Don't you want to get cured soon? We have to run in the National Meet. You should be fit..." Khushi said.
"I'm feeling much better than yesterday... See, the swelling is gone down."
"Oh... then start walking," Khushi said.
"Why not? Do you think I can't walk?" Arnav got down from the bed and took a step. He felt a sharp pain in his leg.
"Ouch..."
Khushi ran to him and held his shoulders.
"What happened? Is it aching?"
Arnav nodded.
"This is why I asked you to take medicine. Sit down first."
She made him sit on the bed and kept his leg on the bed, lifting it slowly. She looked at his face to see if it was aching.
She made a plate and forwarded it to him. Taking it, he kept it on the bed.
"Arnavji, don't you eat it?"
Arnav extended his hand. Khushi looked at his hand and then at his face. He blinked his eyes, like come here. Khushi slowly kept her palm on his. He gently pulled her towards him.
"Do you know how it feels when you take care of me?"
Khushi smiled.
"It feels like I want to be adamant about not doing things. So that you would make me do things... it feels so good to have you by my side, Khushi. Thanks for accepting me."
"It's me who should be thankful. Thank you for giving me a chance to be your side."
Arnav kept another hand on hers.
"You know how happy I'm?"
"How happy?"
Arnav folded his lips. His eyes smiled.
"Don't you know?"
"I know..."
"Really?"
"Mmm... you love me more than I love MY career."
"I love you more than ANYTHING in this world."
Khushi slowly blinked her eyes.
"You will be all right soon."
"I'm already all right and happy. Do you know why?"
Khushi nodded.
"Why?"
"I accepted your proposal."
Arnav nodded no.
"No?" Khushi raised her brows.
"No... because I know one day you will do it."
"Then?"
"I'm happy because I saved you. Thank God, I did it."
She nodded.
"Yes, if you had not saved me, the log would have hit my leg bone, and it would have cracked. I could not have participated in the National Meet. My dream would have broken. My career would have..." Before she completed it with the word ENDED, he kept his index finger on her lips.
"Your career would not have ended because the world would not end with the National Meet. We have a lot of opportunities. A warrior like you should not lose hope quickly. No matter how many hurdles try to stop you from reaching your goal. You should face them and challenge them. Not only you, Khushi, but every woman on the earth is a treasure with unbeatable talent. The sad thing is, they don't realise it. They easily give up. I agree it would be the most challenging part to start from the beginning, but it's not an END. We can begin again and again and rise just like the SUN. Every sunrise teaches us that we can rise again no matter how many times we fall. You are Khushi. You have a talent. Don't ever lose hope."
"How can I lose hope if I have a power booster like you by my side?" She asked emotionally.
Arnav smiled.
"Get well soon... I want you to be in front of me when I run." Khushi said.
Arnav nodded, blinking his eyes.
"You know what? Your encouragement always gives me power..."
Arnav lifted his brows, smiling.
"It's true. If you encourage me, everything around me, besides your voice, goes mute. I hear only your voice."
Arnav smiled, frowning.
"Yes, Arnavji. That was what happened in the inter-college meet after Sheetal fell. I run like a crazy girl after hearing your voice."
Arnav wondered. He didn't know his encouragement played an essential role in her career.
"May I ask you something, Khushi?"
"What?"
"Shall we marry?"
Khushi was taken aback.
"Marriage?"
"I know you have a goal. You just started your career. Marry me and come to my home. Do whatever, being with me. What say?"
Khushi didn't know what to say. She just accepted his proposal, and he proposed to marriage.
"Just be with me. Nothing more than that. Do you understand what I'm asking?"
"Arnavji, we are too young to think about marriage. You will get weary of family life if we marry early because it's a big responsibility."
"Khushi, you are talking about everyday people who lead family life. My story is different. I don't know what family is. I don't know how it feels to have a family. I'm alone, Khushi. I have no one. Then, how do you think I will get weary of a family life? Do you think I will get weary of YOU?"
Khushi thought for a while and asked,
"Are you sure about what you are asking?"
Arnav folded his hands with a sharp gaze.
"Ok... we will get married," Khushi said.
Arnav's hands lowered. He gazed at her with disbelief.
"Whaaat? What did you say? Come again..."
"I said we will get married."
Arnav was taken aback.
"Khushi, I'm serious..."
"Don't I look serious?"
Arnav gazed at her and said nothing.
"We talked a lot. Eat first and take medicine."
Arnav gulped down, looking at her.
"Whaaat?"
"Are you really serious?"
"What do you want me to do to make you trust my words?"
Arnav shook his head.
"Eat..." She smiled, took her plate, and started eating.
Arnav ate, looking at Khushi as if she was an alien.
That was when Arnav received a call from Aman. He answered it.
"Haan, Aman"
"ASR, Lalith uncle, is arrested"
"When?"
"Just now."
"How do you know?"
"I called the inspector and inquired. His man gave a statement. He is under police custody. We will get to know after the inquiry what else he planned."
"Mmm..."
"Ask Khushi to be careful. We should not be careless."
"We won't"
"Ok, I will call you if I get anything."
"Ok,"
"Bye"
Arnav disconnected the call.
"Lalith is arrested for assigning goons to attack you," Arnav said.
"Lalith?"
"Lavanya's father"
"Oh..." she became thoughtful.
"What do you think?"
"He tried to end my career just because I'm with you. What will he do if he learns about our wedding talks?"
"He can do nothing. He already spoilt his respect by sending goons to attack you. He lost his respect completely."
"He is your business partner..."
Cutting her,
"I don't give a damn... I will resign from the board. Then I won't connect with him and his so-called partner, my father."
"Without knowing about your father's stand in this matter, don't get angry with him."
"It's everything because of him. How could he agree to the marriage without knowing my wish?"
"Seeing you friendly with Lavanya, he would have thought you liked her."
"She is my friend, and I'm FRIENDLY with her. How could he think I will marry her?"
"He would not have expected you would like a simple middle-class girl. Poor him, he thought your taste would be HIGH level..." She said, suppressing her smile.
"Excuse me, what do you mean HIGH level? My taste is HIGHER than anyone. Who would get a Common Wealth champion as a life partner?"
Khushi raised her eyes.
"Arnavji, just now, you proposed to me for marriage, but it seems you are going to marry someone who is a Commonwealth Champion..." she said, making a serious face.
Arnav glared at her, and Khushi burst out laughing.
