Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

35 - Step by Step

Meera sighs at that as Aman and her exchange a knowing look – "well, I get what you mean...Arnav but Aman's got a point...no point you sulking in here...focus on the bit that she's hinted she's only being silent because she doesn't want to lash out on you..."

Arnav sulks- " I'd freaking rather have her lash out at me..dammit.."

Meera sighs – "but she doesn't want to do it...right? plus...isn't that she's only been speaking to Mini Maa and Matthew Dad...she did speak to us too ..even if it was briefly on our arrival this afternoon...Arnav.."

Arnav sighs as he rolls his eyes at Meera – " yeah she did...without me...she specifically asked just you two to head into that room she's locked herself into and meet her....plus...who was the one to tell me...post coming out...that even though she was all smiling after meeting up with you for years...the sadness...the angst...that you spotted in her eyes on two of yours accord also did not miss your eye...which is why she shortened the conversation too...because her heart still wasn't in it..."

Meera sighs at that – "Well, I was the one to tell you all of that...Arnav....yes...I was...,"and she pauses unable to get that heavy feeling in her own heart out of her system, for just having Khushi look at her with so much sadness, angst mixed with the look of hurt had made her feel so very guilty in her heart and it was the same for Aman – so she could only imagine what Arnav was going through in the moment. She just admits – " I don't know what to say. Honestly, I just don't know what to say..."

Aman sighs though catching the vibe in the room – " well, guys, I know what to say....look at this bit..she's been talking to Matthew Dad and Mini Maa right? they did convey to us that they'v been hearing her out on this which means...she's getting some release..vent out...guys..which means only matter of time..that she's in the position to address this with you....Arnav...just relax..."

Arnav glared at his brother at that. Yeah, he knew, Aman was coming from his positive supportive space but at the moment – just asking him to relax was just freaking riling him up more instead.

Despite the emotions he was feeling within off guilt, now suddenly he was also feeling anger and disappointment bubble up in his heart.Why? Because, it was hurting damm much to process that Khushi wasn't giving his honest intentions on every accord the due credit here.Afterall, he'd done everything he had just for her...just because he loved her deeply, everything had been ultimately for her sake...why couldn't she just understand???the core behind it all??? Why?? Was it taking her so freaking long to process her head out of this???????????

He admits now to booth Aman and Meera at that thought consumes – "honestly....now...I am starting to feel anger take over guys..within...like just what the hell?? How much more patient should I be? I know I messed up by blindsiding her on this for years...I know that...but damm...the rest of it all?? What about it? the core of why I did what I did? Why wont she get it dammit? it was always...because I loved her the deepest...."

Meera sighs as she tries to calm Arnav down, as a thought comes to her mind – " well, ironically, sometimes when two people love each other so deeply, isn't uncommon to be at crossroads in context of definition of accepted actions...in the name of Love...Arnav...she's trying her best..to process this I am sure..which is why you must keep your calm..and understand that perhaps..this could also be more..about the bit...that just coming here...has also made her realise that this part of her life....us...Mini Maa ..Matthew Dad...were almost also cut off from her for years as a consequence of your decision....she's just probably feeling betrayed at many ends...from all of us...even though...the core of it all was always love..."
