Chapter: 6

"And yet you're supporting him?" Shashi asked

"Aaj galati unki nahi haalat ki hai, Aur haalat ki galatiyon ki sazaa.. Insaanon ko nahi di jaati babuji (Today.. The fault isn't his but of the circumstances. And you cannot punish a human for the circumstances' mistake babuji)" Payal said taking Arnav's hand and leading him inside Khushi's room.

"Go Bhai" Payal gave him a gentle push

"Talk to him. Try to tell him. I know it's difficult, But everyone needs to know." Arnav said

"This is.. not going to be easy Bhai. This is.. something only you can do. But I'll try talking to Akaash. But for now, concenterate on Khushi" Payal said

Arnav nodded

Arnav entered the room only to find it in semi-darkness. He looked around to find Khushi sitting on the bed hugging her knees.

"Jaiye yahaan se jiji.. Hum akele rehna chaahte hain (Go from here jiji.. I want to stay alone)" Khushi said in a hoarse voice

Arnav took a shuddering breath and made his way towards her. She didn't acknowledge me.

"Khushi" Arnav cupped her face in his hands after switching on the lights illuminating the room

Khushi closed her eyes tightly due to the sudden light. That's when Arnav saw her profile for the first time. Her face was pale, Eyes swollen due to the crying for hours. She was looking weaker than the last time he'd seen her. The usual smiling face of Khushi was missing. Her face sunken and sad. He inhaled sharply taking in her appearance. As if he needed anymore reasons to hate himself

"Kh-Khushi.." Arnav called in a broken voice

Khushi's eyes snapped open the minute his voice reached her senses. She stared at him longingly taking in his appearance.

"Arnav ji" Khushi whispered in disbelief staring at him

"Khushi.. I am sorry" Arnav apologized softly

"You're here.. You are.. Really.. Here?" Khushi asked touching every fibre of his face as if making sure of his presence

"I am here. I am really here. Khushi I am here" Arnav assured wiping her tears

Khushi hugged him tightly catching him off guard making him stumble backwards. Arnav regained his balance and wrapped his arms around her petite form hugging her back

"Khushi.. Shhh. I am here" Arnav cooed to her

"You had promised me to come early. You had promised me you won't make me wait. You had promised me.. The best wedding day ever. You.. You broke your promise. You didn't fulfill your promise." Khushi sobbed into his shirt wetting the fabric

"I am sorry... Khushi I am really.. Really sorry. Please.. Forgive your Arnavji" Arnav said caressing her hair soothing her

"Aap kyu nahi aaye (Why didn't you come?)" Khushi asked

"Khushi.. Mein- (I-)" Arnav stuttered. What do I tell you Khushi

"Aap the wahaan par.. Mere qareeb the aap. Toh kyu nahi aaye aap mandap par?? (You were there.. You were near me. Then why didn't you come to the altar?)"

"Khushi??" Arnav whispered bewildered

"Aap the.. Haina? Wahaan the aap. Kaheen aas paas (You were there right? You were there. Somewhere near)" Khushi asked coming out of the hug. Looking at him hopefully while Arnav stared at her shocked

"Khushi.."
