Chapter 78: Unbreakable bond

The sky is getting darker in the surrounding. Khushi is sitting on the bed with her eyes fixed at her husband who is laying beside her in the uncomfortable position. Her condition is getting better now. Credit goes to her caring husband who didn't blink his eyes for a microsecond and took care of her all these days. During initial days, it was quite tough for her to manage as she couldn't sit properly or move either. She got several stitches on her wounded part. Sometimes she screamed, shouted and cried in the middle of the night. It is Arnavji healing medicine of love, she recovered from the biggest accident. Otherwise she would have died. It is Arnav's unconditional love, she is slowly recovering. He is showering her so much love that she forgot when last time she shed any tears. Currently she is fine and able to sit and move. Although she still has little pain, but whenever he is around she forgets everything and drown in the ocean of his love. To be his soulmate is a blessing to her. She still feels palpitation in his close proximity.

Khushi stares at him intensely monitoring his facial expression whose hand intertwined with her possessively as if she would run away. He looked pale and exhausted. It's been more than a week, he didn't get proper sleep or eat and this worries her the most.

"Arnavji, please go home and have some rest. I am fine sachi." His cold glare is enough to shut her up. Without giving any heed, he parted her mouth as she made a face and fed her medicine.

"Have it." Arnav serves her lunch and dipped roti in the gravy asking her to eat, but she is not willing to have any until he eats.

"Don't be stubborn. If you won't eat, how will you get well?"

"Same condition applies to you. Look what you've done to yourself. You become so thin and tired." Khushi said worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about me."

"Of Course I will. You are my husband."

"Oh really? From when you consider me your husband."

"Tana maarna band kijiye..Bola na galti ho gayi..Kaan pakadke sorr..ouchhh" (Stop accusing me, I said na it was my mistake..I am sorr--)

"WHAT THE HELL"

He jumped out of skin and scolded her to stay still. "This is my last warning to you. If you dare to apply any stunt, this will cost you a lot.. You have no right to hurt my wife. Understand. Now sit properly and do what I say without any further argument." Khushi was shutted immediately by his strict scold. After that, she won't dare to argue. But seeing his expression, she is sure he is very hurt by her. He hadn't forgiven her yet. Why would he? If she would be at his place, she would have reacted the same. She shouldn't have misunderstood him. She is feeling horrible doing all that to him.

With a heavy heart, she stares at her husband in a hope at least once he would initiate any conversation and sort of the differences. But he stayed numb. This made her sob silently. Hearing the sound, he immediately looked at her.

"What happened? Are you in pain?" She nodded weakly. "Where" She directed toward her heart causing him to look at her with hurt.

"I love you, Arnav. I really do. Please be with me."

"I am right here Khushi ALWAYS."

"Promise?" She look at him hopelessly craving for her old Arnavji. He halted for a moment and seeing her sad face, he just took her close and let her cry on his shoulder. She feels relax and soothing. His love is her only source of survival. Like people need oxygen to breathe, she needs her Arnavji to breathe. All these years she wasted punishing him for a mistake he is not responsible for. The thought eats her up and she becomes the reason he is suffering.

Khushi within her heart, "I miss you, Arnavji. Your silence speaks everything. I hurt you beyond endurance. I wanted to gain you back. Please give me back my khadoos Raizada who is crazy for me."

"What?" He parted a little and glanced back at her. "Did you say something?" Within no time, she averted her gaze as he has a habit of reading her eyes so does her heart. She rested her head on his chest in order to hear erotic heartbeat that only belongs to her, She nodding her head in denial and brushed her hand on his chest in a way consoling his healing heart.

"I trust in my love, Arnav more than I trust myself. Our marriage will sustain. I won't let you go anywhere." Khushi's heart conveyed this message to his heart.

"You are wrong, Khushi. This marriage is nothing but a disaster. We are not meant for each other. Trust is a root cause of every relationship and unfortunately there is no trust between us." His heart spoke to hers. Khushi clutched his collar tight as the thought of separation shaken her entire being. Their telepathic conversation is being broken by knock on the glass door. Both broke apart pretending everything to be normal but their eyes speak everything.

Nurse came to open her stitches. "Hello Mrs Raizada. How are you feeling now?"

"Better." With her eyes fixed at Arnav. He is trying to remove his hand from hers but she tightly holds it.

Khushi tum.."

"I want to be with my husband every second of my life." The word husband stir something deep inside her.

"It's okay Mr raizada. Be with her. You both look so adorable together. How lucky you are to get a wife who can't stay a moment without you." Nurse complemented but her khadoos husband is not ready to smile a bit. Hey DM what should I do. Please help me to pacify my Arnavji. After thinking for a while, a fantastic idea clicked her mind causing her to smile meekly.

Khushi decided to implement this plan and for that she needs that nurse help who is standing close to her making some tests.

Arnav stood at a few distance but his eyes focused only on them.

"How will I take nurse help? My possessive husband is not ready to leave me for a second." Khushi began to think. In no time she started crying like a baby.

"Khushi kya hua..tum theek toh ho na?" (Are you okay?) He goes to her immediately asking her what has happened.

"I am hungry, Arnavji. Please bring golgappe for me.." A 'what the' escapes from his mouth.

"You are unbelievable. From where should I bring your favorite dish? Have some patience. After getting discharged, I will bring everything you desire". Arnav denies.

"I don't know anything. I want it now..now..now" She turns the entire hospital over her head not ready to compromise.

"Okay fine. Give me 15 minutes. I will order it online," Khushi gave a toothy smile and he sighed excusing himself for some moments.

Once he left, she got a chance to interact with a nurse. Fortunately it is the same nurse whom her little baby threatened once he was admitted during his fake accident. Nurse began to wonder what a dramatic family it is!

After sometime, Arnav comes inside arranging golgappe for her. This is the first time she gives no interest in her favorite dish as her primary and foremost aims to gain her love back.

"Help me to change her stitches on her shoulder." He got bewildered as the nurse ask him to change Khushi's dress. He is reluctant and denied without any second thought.

"Are you her husband or not?"

"Of Course we are" She showed her Mangalsutra like an identity proof with a sheepish smile which instantly faded receiving his glare. Arnav turned to the other side as Nurse began to unbutton her dress in front of him.

Khushi screamed out his name as Nurse started removing stitches carelessly. A horrible pain shot her, causing her injury to bleed. Soon Khushi's plan backfires on her and her condition gets worse due to Nurse over nervousness.

Hearing her painful voice, Arnav couldn't stop himself from going close to Khushi. He got shocked seeing blood on her bedsheet.

"HOW DARE YOU HURT MY KHUSHI.." Arnav got hell agitated. Tears sparkled in her eyes.

"It was by mistake..your wife is not letting me-"

"JUST SHUT UP AND GET LOST. I WON"T SPARE YOU. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WITH WHOM YOU HAVE MESSED. GET OUT." Arnav tried to speak but words failed to come out from her throat.

He pushed the ward door closed and immediately ran toward his khushi who was lying in a semi-conscious state. The nurse has injected her blood with the wrong medicine. As a result, her body is opposing it. He held her close, who was struggling in pain.

"Nothing will happen to you..I am there..I am there" He whispered, getting panic, not knowing what to do to stop her bleeding. In this condition, he won't allow anyone to enter and see her like this. She is lying moaning in pain with her shirt button open. He ran a frustrated hand through his hair getting hell scared by every passing second.

In all these mishaps, Khushi tries to act strong. She cupped his cheeks indicating through her eyes that she is fine. He put cotton on her wounded part pressing it in order to stop her bleeding.

"Trust me, Khushi. I won't let anything happens to you"

"I trust you" She smiles. Arnav looked at her, feeling her pain. He is constantly assuring her in between blowing in her wounds. Making a quick call to the doctor, he managed to reduce her pain.

"Kaha tha na main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga". (Didn't I tell you nothing might happen to you) She smiles and kisses his eyes, sucking the teardrop rolling down.

"Hume marne ka dar nahi hai bas aap se dur jane ka khayal humse bardasht nahi hota". (I have no fear of death, but the thought of losing you is something unbearable for me)

There was a pin drop silence between them. Their eyes speak something which is hard to suppress. Both are deeply and crazily in love with each other, but one stupid misunderstanding spoil it all. She looked at him with tears rolling due to guiltiness.

Since long, Arnav has ignored this conversation as he knows this will only hurt her more. But the thin wall broke when she urged him to break the silence. Upon that her tears unfortunately turned out to be his biggest weakness.

"Please talk to me," She grabbed his hand as he began to move away. "Don't leave me, Please. I can't live without you." Khushi pleads made him to look back at her.

"You think it is easy for me to.." His voice cracked. She realized how deeply he is hurt by her action.

"Why did you treat our marriage like a shit? Just tell me one thing. Did you ever love me sincerely?" His words directly hit her heart.

"Yes I do."

"No you didn't" She shook her head in denial. Circumstances make her believe what has been presented before her. She blindly trusts him but that night when she saw him killing her friend, she was shaken. All the proofs were against him. Her heart made many attempts to knock some sense within her, but she didn't listen to her heart. For the first time, her brain took control over her heart. She too admitted that she made many mistakes in life. The worst thing which she did was thinking to break their marriage. How did she forget after facing so many obstacles, Arnav married her and gave back the pride she had lost in this society. Going against everyone including his Di, they tied into this purest bond.

"I'm sorry..I'm sorry." She sobs.

"It's okay. Don't stress now. We will discuss it later." His soft concern swells her heart.

It's not okay." She weep.

Seeing her state, Arnav took the seat on her bed and she placed her head on his chest. He rubbed her back, calming her. "Everyone makes mistakes. No-one is perfect, My love. You made a mistake, so do I in the past. Our bond is stronger now." She could feel she was hugged by those muscular arms in a way she was craving for ages. That makes her cry even harder.

"Stop it drama queen else everyone outside will think I am torturing you." She punched his chest.

He looked at her intensely causing her to breath unevenly. Shyly, she covered his eyes. But he kissed her fingers and glanced at her with his usual heated gaze.

"I Love you Khushi. Never do this ever again."

"I won't Arnavji. I won't. I promise". He leaned forward and took her rose petals accepting her apology. The pain she felt a few moments ago finally lifted out as she got what she always wished for. She got her Arnavji.. She got her lover.

"I missed you, Arnavji. I missed you so badly" She kissed him back first slowly and then wildly. They are lost in pouring out their hidden feelings and the closed door of ward is witnessing their most awaited reunion.

"Ouch." Hearing her hiss, he tried to break off but she didn't allow him and bite his tongue. Using her hands, she stroked his hairs from back pulling him more close. He couldn't resist her and gave her open mouth kisses wildly.

"You are one wild cat who keeps Arnav Singh Raizada on toes."

"I know". She grinned, gaining another set of scold from him for what she has done to herself.

"Is this a way to talk to your father?"

"Papa made you cry. Won't shay sholly..he is very bad Papa."

AYAAN!!!!!!!!!! She screamed on top of her lungs. Her voice started to rise as she was losing her calmness.

Arnav get shocked at first. He had just arrived from the office and stood at the entrance of the door listening to them. He has no clue what is happening. He had never seen Khushi anger to such an extent. But upon knowing the reason, he went forward and calmed Khushi. But she is no ready to hear anything.

"He is your father and I won't allow anyone to disrespect him." Ayaan cried bitterly which melted everyone's heart except Khushi. She didn't allow anyone to come between them, not even Arnav. Arnav is trying hard to calm her anger but her temper is flaring.

"Mumma..I.."

"JUST SHUT UP! IS THIS WHAT I TAUGHT YOU? YOUR PAPA IS MY WORLD. HOW WOULD YOU THOUGHT HE WOULD EVER HURT ME. IN FACT IT WAS ME WHO HURT YOUR PAPA MULTIPLE TIMES"
