Arnav sat on the floor of his flat, leaning against the wall, eyes closed. A million calls and as many texts later there was nothing from the other side. Her phone was now switched off, not a single reply to his texts. It had been two weeks since Khushi had left. He kept on hoping that if he tried one more time, just one more time, that would be when she'd finally pick up...
----
Khushi sat on a chair in the hospital, in front of the room her father was kept in. He was still under observation. Her clothes were drenched in her tears, her face swollen from the crying. She had had very little sleep, too many things were playing on her mind. She wanted to forget him, erase all thoughts of Arnav from her mind and focus on the present that she had to fix...
----
He walked over and leaned against the window, placing his forehead against the cool glass, letting the coolness seep through his skin, attempting to sort out his now muddled thoughts. He lifted his head to rays of sunshine piercing through the glass as the warm beams created patterns on his face. It was a cold winters day and the winter sun was out but it reminded him of her, of her love for the sun, her need to find happiness in everything...
Choti choti baatein
Yun hi aate jaate
Yaadein sehlaake
Jaati hain
Raaton ko sihraane
Baasi muskaane
Mujhko sulaake
Jaati hain
Milna nahin hain mumkin
Itna batao lekin
Hum phir mile kyun hain
Tujhko bhulana paaon
Tujhko bhulaana paaon
Yeh silsilein kyun hain
Sab kuch wahi hain
Par kuch kami hain
Teri aahatein nahin hain
She needed to forget him, to move on, there was no point in dwelling in the past. He would soon forget her and everything would remain a memory.
Maine nahin jaana
Tune nahin jaana
Jaane anjaane jo hua
Kuch to hua jo
Mujhko hua na
Tujhko magar kyun hua
Galti nahin hai teri
Galti nahin hai meri
Phir bhi ghilein khyun hain
Tujhko bhulaana paaon
Tujhko bhulaana paaon
Yeh silsilein kyun hai
They both closed each others eyes, tears flowing out, a mixture of emotions, of loss, of sorrow, of anger, of fear, letting it all flow out, remembering each others memories one last time...
Sab kuch wahi hain
Par kuch kami hain
Teri aahatein nahin hain
Nahin hai...
He suddenly stood up, his muscles tensed, his mind made up. It was time for him to forget her and move on. She had left him go and it was now time for him to leave her as a painful memory. He had allowed her to weaken him and never again would he let that happen.
And in that moment he left the old Arnav behind and became ASR and vowed to never let emotions break him again...
P.S. In the next few chapters when you feel bad for Khushi remember she had other choices but her guilt forced her to take this one. It won't in anyway justify a lot of Arnavs actions but remember that she had a huge, in fact the biggest hand in turning him into ASR.
And remember that a mans emotions are never expressed as much as a woman's ;) x
P.S.S I'm giving two updates in the one. This chapter is way too small and only stands to portray the turning point in their lives. xx
