Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

32 - RIPPED

But what was this – wrong-doing????????

And Ellie says now crying even more profusely after glaring at her husband's frame – " he was covering up on the truth...Khushi.."

And Khushi asks trembling now – holding onto her mothers hands hard – " what truth..Mom?? what truth???"

And Ellie finally lets it out – " the truth that back then..years ago..Arnav never broke up with you because of his own reasons...ever Khushi....he broke up with you....because...your Daddy asked him too....your break up with Arnav then...was your daddy's doing ...Khushi...it was his doing....he called Arnav days before your departure to Mumbai then....and thrashed him...butchered him...whipped him with his words....he...thrashed...humiliated and insulted the boy to his very core...he asked Arnav to break up with you...Khushi...and when Arnav...cried and wept his heart out..begged him to not ask him of this for it would kill him to break up with you...kill you both emotionally...your father emotionally blackmailed him..with the context of your well- being here with us...he actually blackmailed Arnav saying...you better not ever tell khushi the truth...ever if her well- being here with us matters to you...surely...you don't want her to fight with me...on your accord boy...etc etc....oh it was all your daddy's doing Khushi...all his doing...."

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT????????

WHAT DID HER MOTHER JUST SAY????????

DID SHE JUST SAY WHAT SHE DID?????

DID.

SHE.

JUST.

FREAKING.

SAY.

WHAT.

SHE.

DID?????????????

KHUSHI DIDN'T FEEL SHOCK AT THAT. SHE FELT – BOMBED AT THAT. ALL OF HER FELT – INSTANTLY BOMBED AT THAT.

HER BREAK UP WAS – HER DADDY'S DOING??? HER DADDY? Had CALLED Arnav? and thrashed him and humiliated and insulted him to his very core????

Khushi's hands loosened in her mother's grip in sheer stunned after-emotional bombing sort of expression as she gaped at her in disbelief – " whatttttttttttt??? What did you just say...Mom??????????? What did you just say????? Daddy called ...Arnav?????,"and she looked at her Daddy's frame at that instantly and as she caught the sight off him suddenly burying his face in his hands – all of his frame engulfed in shame and guilt - Khushi asked her voice trembling her daughters heart feeling – a Massive – RIP/Tear go through it hard at the sight off the vibe radiating from her daddy already telling her gut its shocking answer anyway– "Daddy...you did..this to me???and Arnav??? you did this to Us??? Back then???? you asked Arnav to break up with me??????? you????????did this to meeee?????whyyy????would you do this to me?????"

The fact that- her Daddy doesn't look up at her now or say a word but began weeping more remorsefully – gives Khushi the final answer she needed.And just like that - she went – numb in eerie shock...like any place/ would go numb in devastation in the aftermath of a sudden hard explosive bombing in on them. Because, for Khushi – this piece of news was indeed the emotional bombing off the highest order. And all of her just went numb...as her mind and heart processed this betrayal...from the man...she'd looked upon as her father....
