50 ~ Broken Heaven 2 ~

Two Weeks 5 days Later..

Arnav's Penthouse...

Arnav's Point of View...

" Hello!" I said, as I followed Aman out.

"Arnav?" I stiffened. My legs froze in their place, my body went numb. My ears started ringing, my breath got lost in the rush of blood that ran through my veins at the voice that I was yearning to hear.

It was her.

" K..Khushi?" I whispered.

Same time...

Somewhere outskirt of Delhi..

Khushi's Point of View...

Sheetal was staring at me as I took a bite of the food she had shoved in my direction. Consciously I bit into it and next moment I tried to cover my mouth before I threw up. Sheetal smiled in satisfaction as she watched me struggle and vomit. " Whoops, I guess the food was stale...." She laughed more. She walked towards me, then squatted next to me. " I have a surprise for you." She shoved her phone in my direction. " Play the video," I looked from her to the phone.

Consciously I pressed play. The first thing I saw was Arnav's face, which even in distress looked beautiful. My heart clenched in my chest as I watched the pained expression on his face. I could not stop the tears that streaming down my face as I watched Sheetal kiss him. His eyes were tightly closed, from the expressions on his face I could tell that he was close to his break down. I felt worse knowing he was in pain and there was nothing I could do to help him. Before she could show me more I snatched the phone from her and threw it across the room. " Did you... did you blackmailed him ?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes, " I did not have to. It happened with his consent. Afterall Arnav is a man, he too has his need to fulfill you know.." I glared at her, my hands clenching to my sides. She pursued her lips, " Poor you. Arnav does not care about you anymore, he loves me." She grinned.

I smiled at her in pity, " I feel so sorry for you Sheetal. You can not force someone to love you." I whispered, losing my energy completely. " Arnav does not love you and even you know that. You tried everything and he is still not yours. Stop before it's too late."

" Shut up!" she yelled, her eyes turned angry as she glared at me. She scratched on her arms harder, pacing across the room. " Arnav is mine. He will be mine. He has to be. Arnav is Sheetal's." she walked to and fro in the room, muttering to herself.

" You have to talk to Arnav" she suddenly said.

I stared at her, " What?"

She started rocking back and forth in her place, " I don't go back on my promise, so a phone call is what he will get. A phone call what he has been promised, so a phone call is what he will get." She kept repeating the same thing to herself, till she faced me.

"A phone call what he has been promised, so a phone call is what he will get. With you, you have to talk to Arnav."I looked at her in incredulity, trying to figure her out. She picked her phone up from the other corner of the room, then walked back to me. " You will talk to Arnav, but you won't tell him anything." She glared at me, " you will only talk. If you try to act smart or tell him where you are, Veer gets it. I will kill him." She threatened.

My palms turned sweaty as I stared at her, the anticipation of maybe getting to speak to Arnav after so long sent a shiver down the length of my spine. " I.. .I .. won't. just let me talk to him, just once, please." I begged.

She looked around, her hands were shivering as she tried to get a grip on the phone as she dialed his number and then handed over to me.....

With my own shaking hands , I held the phone, " you only have five minutes," Sheetal repeated. She walked towards the wall and silently sat against it, rocking back and forth. Her eyes remained fixed on me, she tilted her head and stared at me without a blink.

The first bell rang, my heart raced against chest. I clenched my fists and my grip on the phone become tighter. I bit my lip in anticipation as a silence for a second before he spoke.

" Hello," Arnav said. His voice as horse as I remembered. My toes curled, I lost my breath.

" Arnav?" I whispered, losing my voice in anxiety.

I was met with utter silence for a second. " K.. Khushi?" even in such state my stomach become home to a million fluttering butterflies, just at his voice.

" Ar.. Arnav?" I whimpered, unable to believe I was talking to him after a month almoat. " Arnav...?" I could not hold the tears that fell down my cheeks.

" Hey beautiful." His husky, breathless greeting made me feel alive once again.

" Arnav.." I cried, not able to say anything else. My emotions got the best of me. I could not stop the tears anymore.

" Yes, baby?" I could tell he was trying to hold his tears back.

" I.. I miss you.." I managed to say.

" I .. I have missed you too. I miss you. I miss you so much it hurts.. Why did you leave me?" his voice chocked over his own tears, " I want you..."

I wiped the tears off my face, I did not let him complete. " you are not on alcohol again Arnav." I did not ask, I told him. " You are not." I repeated, "Please tell me you are not."

There was silence on the other side. I clenched my fists harder. " Arnav tell me you did not or I swear I will..."

" Kiss me?" he completed, with a soft sad chuckle.

I let the tears falls, " yes". I replied, breathless. " I will.... Like I have never before."

" I can not wait baby," he replied.

I glanced at Sheetal, she was staring at the phone. Silent tears were falling from her eyes.

" Me neither," I said. " you promised you would never drink again. You lied..."

" I am sorry," he whispered. " But you also promised you would not leave me." He complained.

"I am sorry," I whispered back.

" Tell me where you are Khushi, please. I am coming to get you right now. I am dying without you. I need you here." Sheetal's sad eyes were alert. She stared at me, expressionless, anticipating my reply. I stayed numb for Veer's sake.

" I can not" I whimpered.

" What?" he seemed surprised, but then confusion cleared his voice. "Let me guess, Sheetal is watching you? Don't be scared of her, just tell me where you are. Please." He begged. " I won't let her hurt you anymore I promise, just tell me where you are." He begged.

I stayed silent, holding back the sob. I could not tell him no matter how bad I wanted to.

" Khushi tell me damn it or I swear I will kill whoever it was that took you away from me," he was referring to Sheetal. His threat was directed at her. " I am done being patient and rational, don't push me to do something I don't want to." His angry voice turned sad, " please I beg you just tell me where you are."

Sheetal looked away, biting her lips to stop herself from crying. Her obsession, her Love Arnav just threatened to kill her. Again.

" I am scared Khushi...,"he continued. " I am lost without you, I am dying. I feel like I cannot breath , like I cannot live. I failed you and I am sorry... I also felt our son.. Advay is so lost without you..." I shook my head, objecting, even though he could not see me.

" Tell me how is my baby? How is Advay doing? Did you take good care of him in absence of me?" I asked while my heart clenched for my little boy... He must be crying hard..

" I had not met him in last two weeks.. He told me to bring his angel back and then only to meet him... I have failed you both... I am not a King Khushi.. I could not protect my little family.. I am just a mare weak human being...all I see is darkness, I have lost light without you baby." Arnav's hoarse voice reached my ear indicating he is crying...

I closed my eyes tightly, not knowing what to say. How could I tell you that I was in our own home? The memories of when we first came here flashed my eyes. When Arnav first told me about our home. I slowly remember every actions Arnav did that night when we became one in this house, I recollect every spoken words of Arnav that night which he promised me...

A certain kind of determination took over me... I find my light....

I slowly opened my eyes. " You know what I see Arnav?" I finally said, I heard his audible intake of breath.

"When I went to that house for the first time, all I could see was my life with you Khushi. I saw my future with you." I remembered the words of Arnav when he first told me about the house...

" If you look through my eyes, I see our future, together. I can feel it so close to me, almost like I am living it." I said whispering..

"I saw us growing old together." I remembered Arnav's words when he was passionately kissing me in our master bedroom.

" I see us growing old." I smiled through the tears.

"I saw hope for a family that I never thought I could have." I visualize the scene when Arnav was whispering this words while making wild love, with his each thrust, with his each stroke he was whispering sweet nothing...

" I see hope for a family that I never thought I could have. I see our memories, countless memories," I cried as I looked around our home. " I am living in those memories Arnav".

I just hope that like me Arnav too remember those words and his actions, and can correlate my present situation...

" Khushi listen to me," Arnav said. " I love you and I will always only love you. Where ever you are, I will find you. I promise."

" Arnav....." I whisper...

" I promise," he repeated.

I bit my lip, "come soon, please."

" I love you Khushi Arnav Ray." He whispered.

I bit back a sob and gently smiled, " I love you too."

" Always?" he asked, his voice huskier than before.

" And forever." I completed. I did not have to see him to know he was smiling. His smile was mirrored on my face.

I met with silence after that, we were both breathing each other's presence in, to keep us going for as long as we were going to be apart.

" Arnav...," I broke the silence. " I have something to tell you.."

" yes, baby, I am here.." his voice filled my heart...

" Arnav.." I took a deep breath, " I ..."

" times up." Sheetal interrupted, glaring at me and snatched the phone from my hand.

" Bye husband," she said. Before Arnav could reply, she hung up. She did not spare me another glance before she walked out.

I am in our home Arnav, please come soon.

Please connect the dots and come to me..

Come to US....

Hours after...

Somewhere outskirt of Delhi..

Khushi's Point of View...

I waited for hours, I did not know what for. But I still waited. After talking to Arnav today I realized just how much I had missed him and just how much I needed him back in my life. I needed him just like I needed oxygen to take my next breath.. I need to see my little boy, hold him to close to my heart.... I could not let Sheetal blackmail Arnav anymore. I had to get out of this place. I had to run away tonight. I could not let Arnav live in the guilt of not being able to save or protect me anymore.

Shyam had gone somewhere to do some paperwork... Yesterday night when He was discussing with Sheetal I heard it all.. They thought I was sleeping But I was awake... Shyam probably is making some property papers.. If I am not wrong then, the property of Mallik and Ray, and also the shares of Ray Fashion House.. Shyam is thinking about the money he will get by blackmailing Arnav while Sheetal is obsessed with Arnav..

Though her obsession prevented Shyam to do any direct harm to Arnav and indirectly to Me.. Shyam was literally planning to abuse me but It was Sheetal who hold him back... yes, it's strange but it's true... Sheetal thinks that before her marriage with Arnav, if something happened to ME, then Arnav will refuse her.. So...She had taken promise from Shyam to not touch me or have any of his dirty way with me, before she is getting married with Arnav... Thus, Sheetal had given me protection against that leech called Shyam...Sheetal thinks that after Arnav divorcing me and marrying her, Arnav will not be affected by any kind of news about me.. so then Shyam is allowed to do whatever he is planning...

Thus I am able to keep my virtue intact.. Though Sheetal herself had abused me mentally and Physically but Shyam had never touched me... and It helped me to keep my soul alive...

Sheetal locked me in basement, which mean I had to take the stairs to go at ground floor. It was risky because Sheetal could walk through any moment, but it was a risk I was willing to take. I picked up a piece of plank from the floor which the house builders seemed to have left. Consciously and silently I made my way upstairs. The door was locked from the outside. I tried to steady my shaking hands before I lightly started hitting on the door knob. If I manage to break it, I could undo the lock and escape. The house was deadly silent which means Sheetal was not at home. I continued hitting the knob till it get a little looser. My palms were sweaty in fear and anxiety, but I kept going. Finally the door knob came undone in my hands.

I came here for the first time with Arnav, with his hand entwined with mine. Never did I ever think at that time the most beautiful memories of my life will be replaced by constant nightmares.

I slightly open the door but to my horror I heard fastening footsteps coming towards me. It was Sheetal. I tried to run back downstairs but my foot tripped and I slipped down stairs. I rolled over the stairs, my body went in as I rolled over each step until I reached the ground. I screamed as loud as I could, unable to take the unbearable pain. My legs felt wet. With my shaking hands lightly touched my thigh, which was covered in blood. My whole body went numb, I felt paralyzed. I did not move, I stayed still in my place, refusing to let myself cry. If I cried now, I would never be able to stop.

Sheetal bashed the door open and ran down the stairs towards me. She grabbed me by the hair and pulled me up, ignoring the pool of blood I was lying in. she looked at me through her red tearful eyes, before she pointed the gun at me. I did not react to the gun, I felt dead already.

Sheetal stared at me, she was breathless when she said, " I lost."

She whispered. "he is here. Arnav is here." I stayed silent, deadly silent. She continued, " he is coming for us. Once he gets here, he will kill me. But before that I have to kill you." She kept the gun pointed at me. I still did not say anything, her words passed me as I stared back at her with nothing but pure hatred.

The door of the basement opened again. I felt him before I could even see him. My hands clenched into fists, my heart started hammering against my chest. His scent that I was so addicted to, lingered around me faintly. I inhaled it into my lungs. The butterflies started fluttering again as I felt him inching closer. But I still refused to meet eyes with him.

Sheetal looked from me to him, fear took over her face.

" Arnav... you are here." She smiled, looking at him with only love, as her gun stayed pointed at my heart.
