7 Part 5(Arnav's Story)
Kyu khawaboo pe tere sayee hai
Dil kyu hai tanha mera
Kyu khamoshi hai zubaan me bhi.
Ashkoon se keh pauu naa
Rabaa ve Rabaa ve
Rabaa ve Rabaa ve
Arnav parked his car outside his farmhouse which was located on the outskirts of Delhi. The place was really serene away from the noise of the city.
This was the place which always helped him to get back to his calm state. He switched off his mobile. He was not in a state to talk with anyone. He sat on a bench in the farmhouse's garden.
There were so many questions that were lingering in his mind. He closed his eyes and pondered over today's happenings. It was just one day he was back to India and everything around him looked so messed up, disturbed.
He remembered there today's meet. A smiled adored his face remembering the moment, it was phenomenal though short-lived she was in his arms as always he was her saviour.
But as soon as his he remembered the next incident he was shattered. Was it really so easy for Khushi to forget him? Her eyes looked so blank. Those eyes which always reflected an immense love for him refused to show even a tint of emotion.
He didn't know what more worst can happen in life than it when you see your only love fail to even recognise you. He knows their relationship ended on a sudden and sad note.
But was he to be blamed? She left no option for him she betrayed him still never wanting to blame her he chose to show himself as the culprit in front of her.
His heart broke when he saw her that day just before the day he was going to the U.S.A.
Flashback
Arnav to Viraj: Hey buddy Give a call to Khushi from my phone.
Viraj dials Khushi's no.
Arnav: I will be back in 5 mins. Tell her I will be coming to her house at 5 in the evening.
Viraj: Yeah sure.
Arnav comes back.
Arnav: So you informed her what did she say?
Viraj didn't answer
Arnav clicks his finger in front of his eyes to grab his attention. Viraj comes out his thought process.
Viraj: Yeah dude what happened?
Arnav: What did she say?
Viraj: Who?
Arnav: I asked you to call Khushi. Remember?
Viraj: Oh! Yeah, I gave her a call she she actually I mean she told me yes No I mean She said No. Yeah, she said No. She has some work in the evening so she can't come to meet you.
Arnav: Really! Like she told you this I mean when she is aware I am going tomorrow?
Viraj (Little hesitant): Yeah obviously buddy, Why will I lie to you?
Arnav: Because that's written on your face that you are hiding something. What is that Viraj?
Viraj: Nothing seriously.
Arnav: Ok let me call Khushi then.
Viraj: Nooo. You can't call her. Okay, I will tell you. But dude (sighs) Will you believe me.
Aranv: Tell me what is it? Stop with this puzzle.
Viraj: Okay, Come, sit here.
They both sat on the sofa.
Viraj: I gave her a call she didn't pick the first time so I gave her another call. She picked it up. I mean she didn't know that there is a call I could hear her voice arnav she...
Arnav: Yeah she?
Viraj: Is it necessary to know let's skip it.
Arnav: Viraj please speak up.
Viraj: She was talking with N.K. She said you are going away tomorrow. So...
Arnav: So?
Viraj: So you won't be here now onwards. So she was asking N.K. when is he going to propose her? And he told her lets us do it tonight and...
Arnav: What rubbish you are talking? Have you gone nuts? We play pranks on people together not on each other such a cheap joke I never expected this from you Viraj.
Viraj: Dude! You think I can make fun on such a big issue. For god sake Arnav I am not lying its damn true.
Arnav: This cannot be true Viraj. You are talking about my Khushi. She cannot betray me she loves me a lot.
Viraj: Alright If you don't believe me. Go to Fairylite park at 6 in the evening.
Viraj went away leaving a confused Arnav. How is that possible? He knew it was not possible. There must be something else he will go there at 6 and clear it all.
Fairylite park 6:00 pm
Arnav was standing outside the park. The park was lightly decorated with flowers and lights, and then he saw them Khushi and N.K. they were walking together. They reached the dinner table. Both were looking at each other. Then N.K. knelt down in front of Khushi and gave her a rose. She accepted it. This scene totally broke Arnav. So Khushi really betrayed him.
Arnav sat into his SUV and drove it to his apartment. He was not able to think straight. Was his love for Khushi so less? Was this the girl he had fallen for?
Arnav's mind: Think practically Arnav you are going away she finds a good friend in N.K. so maybe she has decided to make him his partner. And moreover you people aren't to be compared you and she is different. She is a very private person and you are the most interactive person in college. Your nature, status everything differs.
Arnav got calls from Khushi but was not ready to pick them up. After a lot of battles between his mind and heart, he decided something He gave a call to Khushi.
Khushi: Aap kaha hai love. Maine kitne calls kiye. Haan haan pata hai aap busy honge kal janaa jo hai. Sari packing ho gayi na ? Kya hua kuch jawab to doo. Ohh mai bhi na kitni pagal hu aapko kuch bolne ka mauka hi ni diya. Arnav boliye naa. [Where were you love? I called you so many times. Ya ya I know You must be busy after all you have to go tomorrow. So you completed your packing? What happened? answer me. Oh, such a crazy person I am If I would give you a chance then only you will speak. Speak up Arnav.]
Arnav: Khushi Mujhe tujhse milna hai abhi. Come to the college I am coming there too. [Khushi I want to meet you now]
Flashback over
Arnav's eyes were filled with tears
Arnav's eyes were filled with tears.
He felt so weak, so vulnerable. Even after such a betrayal, he loved Khushi. Damn, he still loved her he can't even think of hurting her even that day he never told Khushi that he had seen her and N.K. together because somehow his heart never allowed him to blame her. He was left with no strength not then not now.
