MINE

Part 33 - Back Home

ARNAV

When I decided to lie to Khushi about the kiss thinking it was going to be easy, I guess I was wrong. It had been just a week since she left, and I was literally going crazy without her, I felt so empty, as if there was something really important missing in my life.

If I hadn't acted stupid that day, then today she could be here with me, but no I wanted to be clever and now I was paying for my deeds.

When I saw her pictures on Instagram, the first thought that came into my mind was that I wanted to go to Bali, find her and tell her what I felt but that would have been really crazy and I wasn't crazy, I was a normal human being who wanted to love her but let her live her life too, so as difficult as it was, I decided I was just going to stay here and wait for her to come back then talk to her.

Can we first talk about how gorgeous she looked in all those pictures? A part of me was scared that some guy in Bali was going to get a crush on her and approach her before I could make things right between us.

Seriously, this girl had driven me crazy!

I spent my days and nights just looking at those pictures over and over again, admiring how beautiful she was and regretting what I did to her.

Currently I was seated in my car which was parked outside her mansion because I knew she was coming back today and although I knew that she was going to be tired from the journey and I should have waited until tomorrow to talk to her, I dint want to wait, I had made a stupid mistake once and look where that had brought me, I didn't want to do anything of such sort again.

I kept on looking at my watch and hoping she would arrive anytime soon, I missed her, I missed seeing her, I missed everything about her and how her presence made me feel, I hadn't been in peace this entire week and I knew I was going to be at peace only when I saw her and maybe even had a chance to talk to her.

I saw a car heading inside and my heart started to beat so fast, I knew it must be Khushi finally arriving back.

I waited as the car was finally parked right outside the mansion and Khushi and Ananya stepped out, this girl looked gorgeous even when she was tired.

I could no more wait to talk to her so I stepped out of my car and started walking towards her, she turned around and her eyes fell on me, she looked surprise but dint react much, she just stared at me continuously as I walked towards her, and while I took each and every step towards her, all the storm I had going in inside me just started to calm down.

Why was this situation again reminding me of the song I had heard on the radio that day? It was as if my entire story with Khushi was based on it, as I kept walking towards her, it kept on playing on my mind repeatedly.

Jab jab tere paas me aaya, ek sukoon mila...
Jise mein tha bhoolta aaya, who wajood mila...
Jab aaye mausam ghum ke, tujhe yaad kiya...
Jab sehme tanhapan se, tujhe yaad kiya...
hmm... dil... Sambhal ja zara... phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu...
Dil... yahin ruk ja zara... phir mohabbar karne chala hai tu...

"Hi." I said as I finally stopped in front of her trying to make the song to stop playing in my head, why were the lines really fitting into my situation this much?

"What are you doing here Arnav?" She asked, she was still disappointed with me, I got it, I had hurt her, she had all the right to be disappointed.

"I've waited an entire week to talk to you Khushi, I couldn't wait anymore." I said.

"I am tired, I need rest." She shrugged as she started walking inside the mansion.

"I know, but I promise I won't take long, just listen to me once Khushi, please." I begged as I followed her inside.
