Chapter 45: Please come back!

From the past few hours, khushi is shouting and screaming her lungs out. But seems no words comes out from her mouth due to fear of being locked at a dark and isolated place. Seeing her terrible state, Arnav closed his eyes in pain leaning on the other side of the room. Her plight is getting unbearable.

''Stop it doctor.''He said restlessly and rose up from his place. 'I don't want to do any experiment on Khushi. Stop all this and arrange the discharge papers.

''Mr Raizada please cooperate with us. She is not in a correct state of mind right now. She had injured one nurse and look at your state, you head is bleeding. Let me aid you first..'' He bring first aid box but arnav refused.

''I don't need any damn treatment. (He shrugged his hand off and get up to view khushi from the glass door who is shaking in fear. while another doctor is monitoring her in a room. Frighten khushi only calling out his name for help. Her continuous shaking form bleeding him to death. He can't see her like this. This is terrible.

''Why you brought me here..? Let me go please..'' Said khushi gasping in fear, she held her ears tight as the past memories haunting her. She cried harder. Scared like a kitten. She brought her knees closer to her heart as a flash of light brimmed to her eyes. She shuttered.

Khushi? A male voice sounded in her ears.

''Who are you uncle..please let me go..please..chold do mujhe..'' She almost pleaded laying on the rough floor.

''Your well-wisher..'' She look at the person with teary eyes but his face is not visible in a dark.

''Don't worry khushi..don't be scared''. He give her a chocolate and somehow console her and initiate talk.

''How you know my name..? Who are you?'' She shot up her query upon his question.

''You tell me what you know about yourself..About your childhood life..?''

My childhood? This word brought a beautiful smile on her face and she started narrating about her mother, how she being a obedient and pampered child of her mother. She started crying recalling the death of her mother. Everything he ask her, she tell him like an obedient child. But suddenly her smile turn out to be terrifying one as the name of Arnav come into picture. Her hands gripped the side of her dress and she tightened her hold.

Did you heard this name- ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA.

Yes! Her face tightened hearing this name.

Where? When you met him?

I met him first time in Anjali's engagement night at farmhouse..He tore my lehenga..and..and..

Tell me more about him. How it all started..

She narrated him everything about her past life which happened 3 years ago..their rain kiss..his forceful holding..his proposing her..their spending night..everything came alive in front of her.. Suddenly she get hyperventilation..lack of oxygen..her heartbeat went rapid when that night picture came to her eyes..

Don't be scared, Khushi. Tell me everything..

HE IS AN ANIMAL. HE PURCHASED ME ON MY WEDDING DAY AND THEN HE---

HE CAGED ME, TORTURED ME EVERY SINGLE DAY..HE HARASSED ME..HE USED ME..

Then?

Then happy ending..hehehehe.. She started to laugh crazily. My arnavji is getting married..i want to go to his wedding.. In no time, she get up and started to dance like a mad.

What he has done, Khushi. Try to remember..

She close her ears as the painful memories keep playing to her mind. She had her eyes closed as tighter as she could.

YOU ARE MY SLAVE KHUSHI GUPTA, MY MISTRESS..

TODAY I WILL OFFICIALLY MAKE YOU MY MISTRESS IN REAL SENSES..

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please no..please let me go arnav ji..please arnavji please save me. Khushi shook hard struggling hard, pressing her knuckles tightly. It hurt her skin. As doctor get up and took his step to her, she began going back as she heard his footsteps coming near..

NO DONT TOUCH ME..DON'T..I DID NOT KILL YOUR BABY..I AM NOT A MURDERER..I LOVE YOU ARNAVJI..I LOVE YOU..PLEASE BELIEVE ME.. The burden is too much her tiny brain could hold. Within a fraction of second she fell down on the ground with a hard thud.

Khushi???????????? Arnav run inside and hold her lifeless form to his chest.

Open your eyes Khushi..? Please for me..please.. He patted her cheeks to get some response. But got none.

~~~

Few days passed with a blink of motion but there is no improvement in khushi's condition. Arnav spend most the sleepless night being by her side. Everytime, he hold her, her face flinched by his touch. There is a rejection in those eyes which make his heart pain.

It says everything heals with time and we forget the pain. How can those wounds be healed which does not tore your flesh physically but emotionally. Same happens with khushi. That night changed her life completely. The day she thought Arnav sold her to brothel, Khushi gupta died. A mother died..a women died..A friend died..All the relations died for her.

What an irony of destiny, there was a time when she needed him the most but he was not there to wipe her sorrow, to tell her he is right beside her, to heal her pain, to love her. Within a moment, he left her breaking all the bonds and love they had shared and got ready to marry her own sister. For a sister, about whom khushi have no clue..Doesn't her mother cried seeing her two daughter loving the same man. What about khushi? What future she has? WIll she ever live a normal life again after getting a tagline of a mistress by a father of her child.

He left her at a stage when she was going through a rough phase of life. But today everything changed. Her heart is only filled with enormous pain and fear for a man once she had love unconditionally.

She become a glass doll which is broken. Her heart is beating but soul died. Her heart broken into smaller tiny pieces in such a way that it became impossible to fix it. Seeing her getting killed every day, his heart cries. Guilt eaten arnav every single moment he exhale without her. He wanted to reduce her pain but helplessly staring her getting tortured. He look into her eyes which is already dead. His betrayal tore her to an extend, leaving a deep scar within her heart which is still haunt in those eyes. Too late for him to undo his mistakes and save her from the storm that is nearing her death.

Doctor have loose all the hopes for her recovery. As the time click, her condition get drastic. One she acted normal, other time she get violent like fire. Her frequent panic attacks lead doctor to took drastic decision to shift the patient into asylum. But Arnav did not agree AT ALL. His heart believes one day khushi will be fine and they have a family together. He knew khushi never hurt anyone intentionally. The first thing she do took her baby doll into her embrace and love her senselessly. He never lose hope.

But one day, Khushi get so worse that she even try to kill herself getting knife. It become almost impossible for everyone to calm her. So she has been given electric shock.

That day for the first time Arnav felt defeated and helpless. Never in any wildest dream he ever imagined his deeds ruin her beyond endurance.

~~~

Ananya brought chahat' home and took all the responsibility of her by her parents absence. Like a mother, she took care of CHAHAT. Yes chahat, this is what Ananya call the baby daughter of khushi. She took all the responsibility of her during her father's absence.

Her name itself says love and affection. She came like an angel in disguise to illumination the brightness of shine in the dark live of her parents. Her eyes flicker when Ananya utter this name for the first time.

While for Arnav, she is always second form of khushi. He always named her khushi, cuddle her, cries his heart out whenever he misses his love, Khushi. He talk, cry, express all his emotions only in front of his daughter. Chahat too cries sometimes seeing her father condition.

''I am sorry beta, Papa is very bad..I separated you from your mother. I am responsible for her this condition. I am such a jer--'' His words stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

''Arnav..'' Said ananya. He close his eyes controlling his pain and sigh harder refraining himself from breaking down.

Calming himself, he get up and move but stopped thinking something and turn to her and walk forward..

''Thank you for taking care of my khushi..''

''Chahat, Arnav. Your nani wanted to give this name to your daughter''

For me, She is and always remain my khushi.. He said with a smile with his eyes fixed to her, who is twisting her legs and hands in air.

''She is so pretty, Arnav. Her smile is just like..--''

''Like my khushi..'' He completed and then a sudden silence lingered in a room.

''You still miss her?'' She asked into his eyes, he avoid his gaze and held his hand for support gesturing her through eyes she is always be with him. He look back at her showing no emotions.

''When i had forgotten her? She is in my breathe..I wish i able to tell her how much I Lo--'' He stopped and get up with seething anger.

''Forget it! I bloody deserve this..'' Said arnav with clenched fist.

Sab thik ho jayega arnav..Khushi thik ho jayegi.. (Everything will be fine arnav..Khushi will be fine soon)

''Did you really think so?'' Her nod develop a small hope but it doesn't give him peace. His inside is burning.

''What doctor saying..when she..'' Ask ananya.

''No hope..they says she..she..never..'' He bang his hand to the wall. Ananya see how much he is feeling sorry for his deeds. She really wish DM give strength to him to face it all..

Every possible way is closed for him. He doesn't know how to repair the damage he created. Ananya wanted to be pillar for him but it do bothers her that he never open up his pains and griefs and keep torturing him day and night.

''Arnav, have breakfast first. You haven't eaten anything since two days..You know i made your favorite food..'' She grab his hand preventing him to move.

''I am fine Ananya..leave me..''

'If you play with your health like this, who will take care of khushi and chahat. They need you.. No.. I will not hear a word this time. She forcefully started to drag him carrying little chahat in her arms who is crumbling on the floor.

She keep chahat on the dining table telling her to keep a watch on him, but he don't listen.

I SAID LEAVE ME..GOD KNOWS IF KHUSHI GETTING FOOD THERE OR NOT..AND HERE YOU WANTED TO.. He yelled and walk away when a crying voice echoed to him.

A sudden shreak of chahat put a break to his strides. He turn and view her. Her eyes flashed anger and she throw her arms left and right throwing every damn kept in a table breaking it with a bang sound.

Hearing her nagging voice all his pain and frustration washed out and he look at her. His eyes soften again. Ananya smiled, at least his mood changed seeing her.

Awhhh.. She started shouting and open her arms.

His lips automatically curved into a small smile. A small flashback flashed him and he remember the habit of Khushi throwing Things to convince for whatever she wanted in the same way she is doing..

*FlashbacK*

ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA..YOU ARE DEAD NOW..NO ONE CAN SPARE YOU FROM ME.. She run behind him like a volcano.

''Khushi stop it..'' He try to run but she lock all the doors leaving no escape for him.

''Nice try baby..'' With a evil smirk, she grab an antic piece and spun it toward his direction. Arnav was taken aback by her action and bend down in defense.

''It's my favorite article got dammit..how could you broke it..'' He chided out aloud. 'Are you out of your mind??????''

Rakshas ke jaise Chilayeye mat..Apko in bejan cheezon ki padi hain aur hamara kya..hamare zindagi ka apko kio mol nahi.. (Don't shout like a monster..you don't care about me..all you care about yourself...i have no importance in your life..)

''Stop your melodrama..''

Melodrama? She shot an murderous glare and took a vase..

No..NO..NO..Baby..You can't..It worth 5 lakh..'' Not giving any damn, another one get broken apart while he grab his head really wanted to bang it somewhere.

Are you mad..? He frown but she did not budge and this time her next hunt was his favorite pink vase which is so dear to him..

''You call me mad how dare you raizada..You are gone now..''

KHUSHI!!!!!!!!! He yelled.

''Stop calling me mad- mad-mad otherwise one day i surely go mad in your love..'' He laughed without knowing her words come out to be true in future.

''This is not funny Mr raizada. You just don't care about me..'' She turn to other side and make a sad pout.

''Khushi this is not going to work..I said no means no..That's final..'' Her anger reached at its peak by his rejection. A dangerous kind of rage evident to her face which left for him no option other than agreeing her demands.

''Okay fine..i will take you to salman khan movie..please don't throw another vase..no..no..no..

''Sachi..'' She grinned hanging the flowerpot in air. So are you trying to say you are ready to cancel your meeting for me?

''Do i have any option..'' Her brow frown and before she start again, he melt her anger bringing her back to his hold, smashing a kiss to her cheek.

''You are one stubborn sexy lady..do you know that..He whispered bringing her closer by her waist. Placing her one hand on his shoulder, she touch his cheek lovingly and look into his eyes.

''Because i'm madly in love with you, Raizada..'' She lay her head to his chest feeling solace in them.

''So my beautiful princess, are you happy now?'' Asked arnav as he and khushi occupied their seat in the cinema hall.

''Hmm, very much..''. She respond him giving a sweet kiss to his cheek. ''Sometimes i doubt..all this seems a dream..'' He smirk evilly as everything was a play for him. He wanted to fulfill all her dream only to break it in a instant.

''Bolo na arnav..ji..Aap humse pyaar karte ho na..?'' (You love me na?) Her heart sank receiving his silence. While all he was doing just glaring her sarcastically.

''Ofcourse baby i love you.'' She smiled in happiness and hugged him tighter, wanted to remain in those irresistible embrace for eternity.

''For a moment you scared me..I thought you don't love me..'' She parted and hit his chest. He grip her both hand and brought her to his lap. Their eyes locked intensely.

''I LOVE YOU ARNAV..I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH..''

*Flashback end*

He jerk back to present getting a small kick from chahat. Tears form into his eyes seeing the traits of breaking things from her mother. He lean and plant a soft kiss to her forehead before moving apart.. He look at a symbol of love and began thinking..

What i have done? She had blindly trusted me and I played with her feelings? All the time she shower all her love to me and i took advantage of her innocence. I break her heart.

Chahat look at her papa with her big rounded eyes puzzled as she caught her father silently weeping. She make some movement to grab his attention. Seeing him lost, she frown and struggling to reach near him. Since ananya is in kitchen making her milk, Arnav did not realize when she get down from table and drag herself near him.

Taking small baby steps, she clasp his legs and then climb to his lap.

Slowly her hand reach him and touch the watery droplets. He lifted his gaze with surprise. Her eyes flash the same innocence he seen in Khushi's eyes. She make a sound while her hand play with his stumble cutely. Her small gesture give an unknown peace within his heart. He too wanted to be with her and give all the love he never gave her mother. But is it so easy? He had hurt her mother without any mistake and when she needed him, he deceive her so does chahat naming their love, a lust.

Looking into her small brown eyes, he try to read them. It's like her eyes trying to speak something in a sign language..Something he failed to understand.

''Khushi..'' Said Arnav with choked emotions. The familiar name brought suddenly several tears into her beautiful face.

Does she wanted to see khushi? He wondered and then saw his wallet is in her hand. She took out Khushi's snap and started to lick it.. His heart pained by the sight. If khushi was normal today, Chahat would get her mother's love. They were so happy today.

From the time she born, chahat never seen her mother and Khushi..she always wanted to become a mother and wished to hear ma' and when god gave her a beautiful one, she is not in a condition to be with her, to embrace her.

How long..how long my khushi have to face all these pain..I can't see these two angel to suffer without each other..Please come back khushi..please..Your daughter needs you..Your arnav needs you..We are incomplete without you..You have to come back..Tumhe hamare pyaar ki kasam..tumhe vapas ana hoga..(You have swear of the love we have for each other)

Will Khushi recognize her child? He think deeply. For the same child, he accused khushi- a characterless. He gulped down in pain and left from there before placing her to the crib.

~~~

Asylum:

As Arnav stepped in, there is only darkness in the room. Hearing the footsteps, she get frightened and started leaning back.

Instantly, he switch on the light and look around.

The sight of her rooted him in astonishment. Her both hands been tied with a rope and she is laying on the floor with her head down. Then his eye landed to the wall where his name is printed in every corner of the walls.

ARNAV..ARNAV..ARNAV..EVERYWHERE IS ONLY ARNAV..

From last few days, he made several attempts to meet her, but everytime he came to visit her, her condition become distraught seeing him and she get fearful so he left without meeting her. But this time somehow he gather strength and came to see her requesting doctor to let him met her. Although doctor advice him not to go inside as can be dangerous. But he wanted to tell her about her daughter, how much she is craving for her.

Painful tears rolled down his face as he look at her. His knees get weaken getting a small glipe of her. Her hairs become messy, eyes swollen, pale face. His heart get crushed into billion pieces.

He don't know how to face her after everything he had done, he have no right to call her. It took him sometime to gather strength before approaching her. Slowly he walk to her while she is curling like a ball in a corner hiding her face with her palm.

Kh--u--sh--i.. With a small baby step, he reach her.

Look at me..Khushi? He requested with a breaking voice. Slowly she raise her head but closed her eyes again.

Please-let..t--go--off--me..maine-kuch-nahi-kiya (Please let go off me..I haven't done anything..please let me go) She pleaded horrified.

Arnav felt miserable seeing khushi like this and kneel besides her.

''Don't be scared..I won't hurt you..trust me..'' Arnav said softly and caress her face with his finger. She look at him blankly.

''You won't hurt me..sachi muchi..'' He nodded with his eyes reflect a pure love for her.

''Who are you?'' His heart sank hearing this.

''I am your arnav..your arnavji..don't you recognize me?''

Arnavji? Ap hamare arnavji ho..? Suddenly her eyes sparkled hearing this name and she hugged him, crying harder and started complaining him in her baby voice.

''Ap hame chodke kyu chale gaye arnavji..(Why you left me, arnavji) She cry more. No one love me here. 'hame yaha bilkul acha nahi lagta..sab bahat gande hain..hame ghar jana hain..hame ghar jana hain..'' (Why you left me..Arnavji..i don't like being here at all..all are bad here..i want to go home..) she sniffed repeating her words.

''It pain me here..'' She directed toward her head which is paining terribly. He lean and give a kiss to her at that place..

''Everything will be fine, Khushi..Believe me?''

''Ap humse pyaar nahi karte?'' (Don't you love me?) There is a remark more than a question.

''No Khushi..this is not true..I really love-- '' She broke the hug not letting him to complete and look at him with anger filled her veins.

''No you don't love you..you are a liar..You wanted to kill me..You wanted to break me..because i kill your sister..i kill your daughter..I kill everyone..you hate me..you hate me..you hate me..''

With a second, she get out of control and started to struggle into his hold. He hugged her tight trying to calm her down, but she hit him harder with her tied hand.

''You love that chudail..hain na..You marry her..not once you think about me..about our baby (She said caressing her flat belly..) He look on shocked.

''I am carrying your baby Arnav..ji..It's our baby..I did not cheated you..It's really your child..believe me..I am not having affair with anyone..all my life i only love you..just you..'' She cried bitterly.

''Khushi please calm down..I believe you..i believe you with my all..He patted her back consoling her but getting no response, he broke a little and saw her unconscious.

DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He scream out on the top of his lungs..

~~~

HOW DARE YOU KEEP MY KHUSHI LOCKED IN A DARK PLACE..SHE IS AFRAID OF DARKNESS..AND HOW DARE YOU KEEP HER TIED..I WILL BURN YOU IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO KHUSHI.

''Have a seat Mr Raizada''. Said doctor telling him to calm down. Please listen to me..For your khushi sake..please..'' Doctor requested and he settle on the chair opposite to doctor bubbling in anger.

''Mr raizada..you have to understand this that patient condition is very critical.. She had injured several people out here..We have no other choice other than locking her..I get to know that in her past life she had went through depression..Is it true?'' He nodded gulping hard.

''That means this is a second time she is going through trauma..That might be the main reason she is not getitng stable..she has been tortured and beaten during that depression period..'' Arnav close his eyes feeling horrible to know how much she had suffered. Why i was not there for her that time? He thought and then look back at doctor.

''I wanted to take her back home?''

Sorry to say Mr raizada but i don't think she is in a condition to stay at home..

''I can handle her..She will be alright if she stays around me..around her daughter..I wanted to make her met her daughter..''

''No not at all...It could be dangerous for your daughter to stay near her..''

WHAT RUBBISH YOU'RE TALKING..NO MOTHER CAN EVER IMAGINE TO HARM HER CHILD..AND MY KHUSHI LOVE HER DAUGHTER VERY MUCH..

''Her mental condition isn't stable..she may not recognize anyone..she may turn violent suddenly..sometimes she get happy..sometimes get sad..one time she talk with you with love and other time she get angry..don't panic.,.I have call the best pshysiatrist who had handle many such patient..just pray to god this therapy get successful..

'When he is coming?'' He enquire.

''By next week..'' Said doctor.

''Thank you''. He sighed just praying everything go well not knowing what future storied for him.
