HIi..here is short OS to help get past the boring weekend...Hope u all enjoy reading??!!!

Arnav was back home in the comfort of his room...restless and edgy he flung his bag onto the chair and dropped himself on the bed.What was the matter with him??.Why was he so wound up he asked himself.He hated this feeling of being uncomfortable in his own skin.This slip of a girl who bothered ,frustrated  and irritated him no end till yesterday was suddenly the focus of his complete thinking!!What was wrong with him.He thought back to the scene of a few hours back...Him..Arnav Singh Raizada actually beating up 4  guys for a girl.why was she so important that he had actually had murderous tendencies racing thru his mind at the thought of someone harming her physically!!He went to his cupboard pulled a shit and a frseh paoir of jeans.A shower should clear his mind or so he thought.

Anjali found out from omprakash that chote was back.she quicly walked upto his room.He was just coming out of the shower when he heard the knock.He opened the door to find his di outsid with very a worried look on her face.His concern immediately took over and he quickly asked her.."Kya hua di??".She asked ..khushi kahan hai.Oh no he thought, not her again...Kyu kya huan.Anjali repeated her question this time sounding more worried..Chote kya tumne kushi ko ghar pe choda??a sudden wave of guilt passed over him and he quickly turned his back to her and pretended to pick up something from the bed.Chote!Anjali said louder this time...'mein tumse kuch pooch rahi hoon.Kushi kya ghar par hai??He turned around quitely looked her in the eye and said mujhe pata nahi di..maine usse raaste pe utarne ko kaha.Anjali shook her head and told him..tum bhi na chote..ab hum usse kahan doonde,tumhe pata hai usske babuji ko dil ka daura hua hai aur woh hospital mein hai..kafi serious bi hai.Good lord!he thought he had done it again.How did he always do this.If only he didnt lose his temper and throw her out...Hw wondered whether she had reached home and what she would do when she found out."Di..mein hospital ja raha hoon...agar aapki baat khushi se hoti hai to please mujhe bata dena and saying that he left.

Khushi  was shattered to hear about her father.she quickly changed her dress and rushed to the hospital .She had no control over the tears that were flowing from her eyes."Sambhalo apne aapko khushi..she told herself.She need ed to be strong for amma and jiji.What if something happened to babuji..she did not even want to think  such a thought.He was the sole reason for her sane existance.,her babuji who never ever differentiated between jiji and her even though she was not his own flesh and blood.He was the reason she was the way she ws today.The drive to the hospital seemed neverending.She ran to the reception and found out that he was in the ICU.She found jiji weeping bitterly outside and on seeing khushi rushed to her and hugged her tight.Khushi tried to comfort her in spiteof her own tears.Amma was also crying..Khushi hugged and tried to assure her that babuji would be alright.

Arnav drove fast...he prayed she would be in the hospital and that she would be fine.she was still weak from the fever and this news ,he knew ,would be hard on her.he remembered the pain reflected in her eyes when she told him about the death of her parents He reache dthe hospital,parked his car and rushed inside.

Khushi was trying hard to comfort her family ahen the doctor came and told that babuji's condition was still fragile and that it was still too early to predict anything.Khushi asked him if they could see their father and the doctor agreed on the condition that he was not to be disturbed.When Khushi,jiji ,amma and buaji went in they found shyam standing next to babuji's bed.Khushi ran to her father;s side...tears streaming down her face,She gently took  his hand in both of her own and pleaded silently for him to open his eyes.And miraculously he did so...Shashiji opened his eyes and looked at the daughter who meant more to him than anything else.He knew her better than she knew herself.he knew the family depended on her strength and he wanted to be her strenght.It killed him to know he was helpless in the face of shyam's cruel intentions.He wanted to warn her but words failed him...he tried but the effort left him exhausted and he cud feel himself slipping away into unconciousness...

Khushi panicked when she saw her father unconscious...she looked around and saw that her mother nd jiji had completely broken down.She quickly got up and took charge...she tried to comfort them when all she wanted to do was shout and scream herself.she held herself in check.she wanted to be alone so she could have the liberty of breaking down.The doctor had come in to check on her father and so she quitely slipped outside.she was blinded by her own tears and was frantically trying to wipe them off when she saw him...

Arnav was walking towards the ICU..he didnt know how he was going to face her or what he was going to tell her after the cruel way in which he put her out of the car.He hoped and prayed she was alright.He saw her from afar.she was wiping away the tears and walking fast when she looked up and saw him.He stood rooted to the spot .

Khushi would later ponder over why she did what she did.But in that instant her legs seemed to have a life of its own and she broke into a run.She didnt care about anything or anyone and ran straight to Arnav who was as perplexed as her about what happened next.She threw herself at him and wrapped her arms tighly around him.she broke into loud sobs wept bitterly into his shirt.For khushi it was like a dam within her had just burst open.she wept and wept  and kept mumbling incoherently.Arnav could barely make out the word "babuji" and 'halat kharab".He was not quite sure how to react.He brought up his arms to hug her back but stopped himself.what was he doing ???Ever since they were back from  the trip he had been battling himself.His heart told him something, and his head another,He was sure she would be annoyed with him but here she was clinging on to him and crying unabashedly.He closed his eyes trying to gather his thoughts into some semblance of order.

Khushi kept weeping until she was spent.She had begun to calm down and slowly it dawned on her that she was in Arnav's arms.She didnt know why but it seemed to her the most natural place to be and she felt a certain peace engulf her and with that a feeling that everything would be alright.shw still clung to him and just laid her head on his chest.

Arnav didnt  know what was happening to him.In that instant his restless heart seemed to have found the right beat.He could feel her relax against him and the sobs almost stop.His hands od their accord wound around her and he held her like that for what seemed an eternity to both of them

Unknown to them a shadowy figure watched them from the corner with eyes blazing like fire.Shyam knew what he had to do next.
