She still couldn't fathom the amount of courage a woman would need to have to kill her own husband and then sacrifice her life in order to save her childrens, with each thought Khushis respect for Arnavs mother just increased, she couldn't even begin to understand what the woman had been through.
She was still tossing and turning attempting to just go to sleep, wake up in the morning and think through it logically when she felt her phone vibrate under her pillow. "who's texting me at this time?" She was slightly irritated at this thought, it was probably that Aryan, he was possibly the only person that purposely stayed up this late. She fished her phone out from under her pillow and stared at it, her expression changing from one of irritation to surprise to the tiniest of smiles.
"Hey babe, don't worry about it and don't get too emotional. I wanted to tell someone and thanks for letting me. Thanks for listening, that's all I needed. You were there for me in a way no one else could have been and I'm sorry if my story shocked you a bit too much. And sorry for getting all emotional on you, that never happened ;). G'night!"
People seemed to have him figured out so wrong, he was such a gentle person, one capable of so much love. You just had to peel away the layers. She was glad she hadn't listened to the rumours, that she'd stood her own right and given him the chance to prove himself. And with that she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Arnav looked out of the window and smiled, he felt weightless as if he could fly and take on the world. He had needed to unload what he had been hiding deep inside for so many years, he had needed to tell someone and she had let him. He closed his eyes and for once slept without a single nightmare, free of the burdens of his mind.
There was a change of wind, two souls were letting go and floating, floating towards each other and they were unaware as to how unbreakable the bond they had formed that night would be.
----
Khushi stepped out of her room in the morning to the chirping of birds, she inhaled the smell of fresh earth and a night of drizzle, leaves with droplets of water. She closed her eyes and opened them in the anticipation of a new day, filled with hope and desire. The rollercoaster of emotions she had gone through last night had turned over onto a leaf of new dreams, of anticipation. She wanted to see him, cup his face in her hands and let him know how much she cared, to give him all the love he deserved. And that's when she saw him standing at the gate, smirking, his eyes alight with an unknown emotion. She couldn't hold it in any longer, desire overpowered her, all she wanted to do was be in his arms, she started to run towards him. His face changed into one of confusion, unaware of what was happening when suddenly her body crashed into his hard chest, his arms went around her of their own accord, holding her close.
She looked up at his face, into the depths of his eyes as he smiled back at her and her lips crashed into his. He was hesitant at first, taken back by this sudden show of passion but could not withhold any longer. He parted his lips letting his desire take over. Her fingers entwined through his hair as she kissed passionately, whilst he held her close, she felt so fragile, he wanted to protect her from the world. He took her upper lip between his, their breaths ragged, hungry, eager. His hands slowly moved down to her waist, she moved her head back letting him take over, parting her mouth slightly letting his tongue slip in. He felt his whole body flush with passion as their tongues met and entwined, they were lost in their own world now, she made him feel alive.
The drizzle suddenly stopped, the clouds cleared and made way for the piercing rays of the sun as Khushi and Arnav stood bathing in all its glory as they lost themselves in a new found love....
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much it means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
So, impossible as it may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cause who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete
And you're the place my life beings
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings...
...And that beautiful Autum day bore witness to two souls letting go and becoming one, two heartbeats beating to the same tune...
