His obsession

Part 45

Khushi was too stunned to react, reading the report. Arnav was Clinical depression Patient and he was undergoing treatment for 1 year from 2020 to 2021. She read it again and again in disbelief. Arnav's treatment went on for the first two months in Mumbai and then from the best psychiatrist in London. Khushi gulped, What happened to Arnav three years ago that brought him to this condition? Khushi sat on the bed feeling too weak to stand, All this had happened and Aman didn't think it necessary to tell her, do the family members know all this? All the thoughts running in her mind when Aman came inside and gulped seen khushi with Arnav's medical report file.

Arnav is hell nervous now as khushi questioning eyes fixed on him. He was cursing himself thinking, why didn't he think to keep this file somewhere else. What should he answer her about that file now, what should he tell her, what happened with Arnav in the past. If Khushi asked the reason behind Arnav's depression, then he has to tell the secret which he has kept hidden from everyone for the last 3 years, he knows.

'Will she be able to bear this truth as a wife?' Aman thought and it's broken by khushi.

Khushi : what is this Aman?? (She shows the file to him)  is that true, Was Arnav suffering from depression for a year?? ( Aman could clearly see the panic in her voice )

Aman gulped closing his eyes and said : yes, it's true bhabhi .. But I cannot tell you anything more, it would be better that you stay away from all this.

Khushi : why ?? As his wife, I have every right to know about him, Aman. Please tell me what happened to him?? Please Aman ...

Aman : Bhabhi please, I can't tell you. The memories of that time still give me pain, I can never forget the pain that Arnav had suffered. Please don't scratch that wound again.

Khushi put her on his shoulder and said : I understand Aman, remembering the old pain hurts a lot, but sometimes pain also works as a medicine. Maybe this could help him, please tell me Aman ...

Aman took a deep breath "  ok, but you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone about this nor will you mention it in front of Arnav " Aman asked as now he cannot longer remain silent seeing Khushi's concern for Arnav and yearning to know the truth. He doesn't know what Khushi's reaction will be after knowing all this but don't know why, he feels that Khushi is the only girl who can help Arnav to forget his pain.

Khushi : i promise, Aman .. ( she said placing her hand on his )

Aman : It all started in Mumbai when Arnav and I went to Mumbai for a fashion show. I wish I had not asked Arnav to come with me then .. (he stopped and signed) but that fashion show was very important for AR as it was going to take AR to a new height of success. In the meantime we went to a college where Arnav was the biggest sponsor. There he found the one who completely changed him and his life.

Khushi (nervous) : who ?? ( Don't know why Khushi was not feeling good, listening to him )

Aman silent for a while and said : His Obsession ...

Khushi (Stammering) : wh..at do you..u mean ??

Aman : Means, there he had fallen in love with a girl at first sight, which he himself did not even realize.

This truth shook Khushi to the core, in her heart she felt strange pain. don't know when tears welled up in her eyes, she quickly closed her eyes and stopped the tears from flowing.

The past memories flashing in Aman's mind one by one " it was very surprising to me as i never saw arnav even look at any girl. Don't know what was there in her that at first sight she made Arnav Singh Raizada crazy for her, Even the most beautiful models of the fashion world could not attract his attention, but she did it. maybe there was something special in her " Aman said with small smile as he still remembers, smiling face of Arnav which filled his heart with joy because it was the first time Arnav smiled from his heart.

Aman turned towards the pool side area and said : You won't believe that the king of the fashion industry .. 'ASR' .., whom to just meet him even VIPs have to wait for months, used to wait for hours for that girl to just have a glimpse of her. I've never seen such a craze before as he didn't even get to know when that girl became stubbornness, passion and madness for him.

Khushi (gulping) : where is she now ?? ( She asked holding her breath )

He looked at khushi with moist eyes " she is no more " Aman said.

Khushi (shocked) : what ?? How ?? What happened to her ??

Aman : It was a rainy day when Arnav was about to express his love, but a car accident took her life, that too in front of his eyes. He could not tolerate the shock and he fainted, by the time he regained consciousness it was too late, Her last rites have been done and Arnav could not even see her for the last time.

Khushi (teary eyes) : so, that's why he went into depression ??

Aman (nodded) : yes, After her death, Arnav forgot to live, just remained a living corpse. Seems like the depth of her death gripped his heart and when he started having panic attacks, he lost control of himself and started breaking things. No one could handle him, not even me as his mind was not even stable for a few minutes, he lost his sleep and peace and damage in his mind destroyed him completely. He became weaker than weaker after her death.

Khushi could feel something breaking inside, but why ?? she doesn't know or maybe she doesn't want to know. She also can see the pain on Aman's face which he must have felt seeing his friend in that condition.

Aman continued " I went to London with him and it took him ten whole months to recover. He got well but forgot to smile. The day he lost her in the rain, he started to hate the rain most. Whenever his wrath became wild, only the things of her memories could bring him under control. His peace was settled only in her memories and things and still does, If anyone had paid attention, they could have seen that she is present in everything around him.

Khushi : Even today, if Arnav lov..es only her, then how did he agree to marry Payal ?? ( She voiced out very difficulty )

Aman chuckled sadly " Like you, he too was forced to marry and you know why" Aman said and he gets a call from his office as he has an important meeting. He quickly takes both the files and leaves from there. He did not want anyone else to see Arnav's file and another reason for his leaves was that he could not face Khushi right now as He doesn't know what Khushi feels for Arnav but her hurt, painful look didn't go unnoticed by him.

Khushi remained frozen in the same place even after Aman left, Arnav's past shook her from inside. Can anyone love someone so deeply that even after she is gone, she remains alive in him. How lucky was that girl whom Arnav had loved and still loves, as soon as this thought came, she felt a pang in her heart.

" Why do I feel like I've lost something valuable before I even gained it? Why does it matter to me to know that Arnav loves someone else. When Divya's love for Arnav did not make any difference to me, then why is Arnav in love with someone else causing me so much pain. Is she in lo ..." Khushi stopped thinking ahead, No .. it can never happen, she will never let this happen knowing what the consequences will be.

Khushi knows she has to calm herself down and there is only one place where she will find her solace. informing Ratna, Khushi came out of RM without knowing the consequences.
