Khushi worked on a laptop regarding the upcoming deals she is saw Aryan and arush sleeping hugging each other a smile appeared on her face seeing them.....she remember how Aryan has told him about arnav and that was the thing which which scared her because she can't see her child hurt though Aryan was ok after talking to her still she was scared if you are aryan and arush could cope up with the truth ....
she sighed and walked towards the bed and layed beside them pecking their forehead with all the love she had for them....she Remembered her conversation with Arnav and Anjali today she had confronted the two most toxic people in her life though Anjali wasn't responsible for it but she she was indirectly the reason for her pain she would have forgiven Anjali if it was it was about her but Arnav wouldn't gone to arav school or he wouldn't have kept sheetal and Arav here if she wouldn't have pestered him...but she wasn't wholly responsible for it Arnav to was spineless to agree with her demand but it was passed now she need to move on to forget for her own mental peace yes she couldn't forgive Anjali and the family but she want to forgive arnav for her own self
She loved arnav that is the ultimate truth....after so much of sacrifice after so much pain she deserve to live with her love ...her love deserve to be fulfilled... She deserves a Happy life and she will get ...she deserves a happily ever after
Lying near Aryan and arush she closed eyes to get some sleep...few minutes later she found someone cuddling to her opening her eyes she is the most beautiful sight she ever wish to ...Aryan was snuggling to her making cute faces in the sleep it's not everyday you see Aryan singhania making cute faces...he is grumpy child always
She Smiled and saw aarush sleeping peacefully ....hugging Aryan tight to her she closed her eyes falling in a peaceful slumber
*******
Sleep was Far away from Arnav Singh raizada's eyes... Whenever he closed his eyes he could see Khushi is crying face , her words were ringing in his ear ringing in his ears like the most worst ringtones ever heard the guilt of his past mistakes had not let him be in peace .... Ego was his biggest enemy I have to admit it no one hurt the person they love but he did just because of ego his past was horrible but he made his present horrible too by always living this past he couldn't let go his past when Khushi try to pull him from his past his darkness instead he himself pushed him more inside it resulting to lose his biggest blessing ever had ,his Khushi the worst thing is Khushi give up she gave up she is not interested in being with him what worst could happen
Sitting on the terrace he saw the stars which Khush believed to be his parents their parents he just sat there staring at them while is tears flowed from his eyes continuously
Sania saw Arnav Singh raizada sitting there crying she guessed why he was crying as as she had heard his and khushi conversation.... She could see pure love in his eyes but she couldn't turn blind to the sufferings of her friend to she is took steps towards him making him turn to her
Arnav looked up to see khushi friend he so wanted to lash out at the person who disturbed him in his guilt session but seeing saniya he composed himself
"You here ?do you need something" he asked after awkward silence between them
"Wasn't sleepy so to come here well what are you doing you at late night?".... Saniya asked with a smile but arnav was feeling uncomfortable in her presence
"Nothing " He said and looked away he was about to go when he heard saniya speaking
" I Know What you are thinking... You are hurt by Khushi is words isn't it?" She asked raising her eyebrows.. Arnav looked down
"No not like that" He said making saniya chuckle
"Khushi is my best friend you know we have to spend literary 8 years together " Saniya said looking at the sky in a soft tone... Arnav so wanted to leave but there was something in her talks which didn't allow him to go maybe because it was about khushi
"Thank you for taking care o of her the way you handle that day" He said genuinely grateful to the lady for supporting his khushi when he wasn't there.... Saniya looked at him with a frown and then smiled
"You don't need to thank me she is my friend I will do everything for me"
" She loves you " She said after a long pause making arnav head snap toward her
" But love isn't enough... Love isn't the only thing that is required we need understanding, trust, respect, loyalty to make a relationship work" She countinued with a smile her eyes still at the sky... Arnav went to his guilty mode he was about to speak when saniya who understood him stopped him
" Ooh I am not blaming you because I am no one to judge you .... I have seen love in your eyes pure love... " She said making arnav look at her in shock
" Excuse me" he said still shocked
" You love my friend" She said it was a statement rather than question
" Yeah".. Arnav replied in a low voice
" But you don't respect her " She said again in the same tone this time arnav was silent...
" What are you saying " He asked after a long silence
" Chill i am not here to accuse you, or question you "
" I met khushi 8 years back with time she became my beastie she isn't ny friend she is my soulie... I have seen her pain her struggle "
" Maybe you don't deserve her but she deserves you because she staked her everything to be with you, her love deserves to be fulfilled... " She sighed ... Arnav looked at her with guilt
" You might love her but you don't respect her. ... If we love someone we need to respect them more than we love them... A relationship may flourish without love but respect never " She countinued in a soft tone
" I -I respect her it's just I was so egoistic.... " Arnav said guilty he could feel she was right... Saniya looked at him and smiled
"Arnav we humans are toxic... We have ego , attitude , temper, which leads to the loss of our precious.... It isn't love which hurts it's the abusive words, ego, anger, rejection, Ignorance that hurts...love is the only thing which keeps humans sane and happy in this selfish world" She countinued
" I know you are thinking why I am saying this to you... But I can't help khushi means a lot to me and somewhere I can see pure love in your eyes ... I know khushi is angry but she is hurt by your behavior in the past she will definitely forgive you she just needs time... But you might haven't noticed but khushi has changed she won't be the same again your relationship will never be the same .... "
" I know and it hurts knowing I am the reason for it " He said sighing his eyes shimmered with unshed tears
" Well you were but it isn't good that she became the better version of herself.... Change is necessary nothing is constant" She said a smile fixed on her face
" But still I hurt the person I loved the most and this guilt is killing me... I can't express my feelings because whenever I see tears in her eyes it feels so unworthy " he said not able to keep it to himself his voice was low but full of emotions
" Arnav you both were at fault maybe you were more.... The truth is you both were immature to handle a relationship.... The foundation of your relationship was weak it was bound to crumble.... "
" I wish khushi would have slapped you in past and showed u the right way but she didn't... You never relised where you were wrong in reality you never regretted for your past mistakes I wish your family would have shown you the right way but they were dumb like you.... "She said and chuckled
"Relationship doesn't end because couples stop loving each other they end because of lack of efforts .... Efforts should be equal to have a happy relationship.... You can loose your girl with lack of communication, attention, respect... "
" Arnav you want to win her back but she isn't a trophy to win she is a girl to be respected and loved. ..... You can't get her back if you keep on trying to win her, don't try to get her back in your life when pushed her away in past , try to make your place in her life "she said and arnav listened to her attentively
" You can't win someone trust you need to gain it... Trust isn't something which you will get by crying , repenting and all... Because if you would have cared for her enough you won't be sitting here away from her.... "
" Trust is build up... You need to prioritize ... You need to make her feel wanted, loved.... You need to show how much you value her.... People say love is trust ! love comes naturally because it's a feeling but trust doesn't because you need to stake your everything to trust a person..... We humans have trust issues we are bound to have because we see so much selfish people and that's the reason we cannot trust anyone easily.... If you trust very much you will get betrayed and if you don't trust enough you will be called a betrayer!! Ironic right? " She laughed ... Arnav too chuckled
" We need to make our partner trust us by making them feel important, valued... You think action speaks louder than words but sometimes words are most important....you need to express yourself in some situation.... "
" You love khushi but you don't value her and thats where you lost... I hope you understand what I wanna say if you want khushi back you need to respect her, value her and prioritize her..... Your crying or apologize won't heal her broke heart but your words and actions can" She said looking at him... Arnav nodded to her understanding what she meant
" Start from friendship because it is what you lacked in your past..she didn't confide in you and you didn't realize her pain both were at fault and the main reason was you both lacked communication.... Friendship is the most important thing in marriage "
" Arnav khushi will give you chance but just don't hurt her because she is precious to me... " She said and arnav looked at her he could see care and love in her eyes for khushi
" I will never hurt her.... It's painful to me to see her hurt she is the only one whom I could be happy her smile gives me Peace it's so beautiful but I realized lately, she hasn't smiled and I am the reason for it. .. She cried, my heart clenched seeing her tears , its a shame she wasted so many tears for someone like me" He said as tears flowed from his eyes
" I understand maybe you weren't totally wrong because I think you both made mistakes but you just made more.... You are a good person arnav but you never try to use your heart..."
" I hope you will listen to my words just give a thought.... I wish you and khush to get your happily ever after.... "
" I will ... Thank you" Arnav said grateful to her...
" The ASR saying thank you to me... Ohh my my I am gonna faint " Saniya said dramatically... Arnav chuckled
" It's okay asr it was nice talking to you... Yeah just don't hurt my friend orelse I will break your bones " She said and arnav laughed
" Don't laugh I am black belt in karate " Saniya glared at him
" Never I would never repeat that mistake again... I wish to die before hurting her" Arnav said his words and eyes showed her how sincere he is
" Good for you... " She said with a smile
" Good night Mr raizada"
" Good night " He said and she walked to her room while arnav sat thier thinking about saniya words...

*Evening*
Arnav was going to his room after attending a video conference... Khushi has gone to her office as something urgent came up
He decided to glance at his kids as they were alone in their room... Moving to the room he saw his kids doing homework seriously he smiled seeing them
Arnav : hii arush... He said gathering attention of the twins
Arush: ASR you here...
Arush smiled in these days they both had made a good bond... While Aryan didn't like arnav coming here
Arnav: yeah what are you doing .... He asked though be knew what the were doing but still he wanted to spend time with them so he tried to start a conversation
Aryan: homework... He said in stern tone, arnav gulped as he remembered Aryan knew who he was and the bitter tone did the job of salt on his wounded heart
Arnav: finished? ... He asked after composing himself
Arush: no ASR few questions are left .... He said and arnav smiled at him
Arnav: need help? ... He asked his voice was soft
No one would believe that rude ASR can be soft too.. He himself was surprised how come he became so soft he never knew he the tenderness existed in him until these two came in his life... He does not need any effort to be loving with them
Aryan: no ASR we don't need your help .... He said sternly arush frowned hearing his brother
Arnav: I was not bad in maths... Show me let's see if I can help or not.... He smiled at both of them
Arush smiled back while Aryan averted his gaze
Aru: okay ASR... See these questions they are damn confusing I tried solving them but can't... Why did God make maths I hate it... See you also don't understand I told you it's difficult don't worry mom will teach me .... He started chattering making arnav chuckle aloud
Arnav muttered"chota sanka devi"
Arush stopped hearing arnav chuckle and looked at his brother who was suppressing his laugh.. He bit his tounge and actioned sorry

Aru: ooh sorry ASR
Arnav explained the question to them and for change arush understood it quickly
Arnav: done ... So is it clear now
Arush: yes ASR you are best I understood it easily .... He said

Arnav: nothing like that you are a good learner... He said carresing his cheeks a act full of affection
Arnav: Aryan do you need help you can ask me I will always be there for you... He said his words meant different meaning he meant to assure Aryan that he will always be there for him
Aryan: no I did my homework... He said not wanting to melt seeing the love in his eyes
Arnav and the kids heard shouting sound from the corridor... They walked out to see khushi and saniya hugging each other
Saniya was jumping in excitement while khushi was smiling her eyes we're teary
Saniya: ooh my my khushi it's such a good news I can't believe ... She said hugging her tight
