A twist of events chapter 2:

2 months later

Arnav was broken. He didn't eat much, he didn't sleep much as he always remembered her in his arms, her sweet scent still lingered on the pillows, he didn't speak much. All he did was work and lash out anger at people. The life had been drained from his eyes. And no matter how strong he tried to act for the family, Di and nani had seen right through him. They were concerned and anjali even tried confronting him but he just denied any feelings. She felt guilty for what she had done to her little brother. He had done so much for her happiness, gave up his life for her and what did she give him in return? Nothing but tears. She felt helpless. Utterly helpless

He was still so angry. Angry that Khushi had betrayed him so badly. He was learning to love her. But she broke that trust. But he could love her no less, in fact as the days went by, her absence just pierced him harder and harder every time he woke up. He was a mix of emotions, hurt, pain, love, betrayal, anger, sadness, all powerful emotions that shook him deep inside. He still longed for her, longed for her back in his arms.

When he arrived home that day, he went out to the balcony to get his mind off khushi for a little while, that room held too many memories. As he neared the balcony he heard Shyam talking to someone in  a hushed, impatient sounding voice

"No no I still haven't found her yet...I know! There was nothing I could do!...give me some more time, I just need more time" he said.

Arnav leaned against the wall, questions racking his brain...found who? For what? Why more time? What was going on?  When he heard Shyam shuffling footsteps, he leaned behind the curtain so he would be out of sight. Shyam came out cursing to himself,

"Dammn that woman, why did they kick her out? God! I need to find her or else he will kill me! These damn Raizada's"

When he was out of sight, Arnav came out of the curtain uncertain about everything. Questions were spinning in his head.  Then he came to a conclusion,

"KHUSHI! Your out of this house and still he hasn't left you? WHY? WHY CANT YOU LEAVE US ALONE?" he shouted to himself, ripping the curtain apart and throwing the chair to the other corner.

3 years later

His wounds had healed slightly over the years and he learned he could get by his day without constantly being tortured by her memory. Now every time he thought of her, he felt disgusted with her, he still didn't understand her motives for breaking his family. But he still knew that under all this hatred, there was still something there for her. It would always remain there, and that feeling for her would never enable him to fully move on.  It was just like when his mother had left him. He had learned to live without her everyday but her memories never left him.

He was so engrossed in his work and thoughts that when he heard a knock on the cabin door he didn't reply. He didn't notice the petite figure in an anarkali stand bravely before him. He didn't notice anything until he heard the loud thud of the drop a file on his desk. His sight first traveled to the file that was now on his desk and then they travelled up along her frame with each second sending Arnavs heart beating faster. His eyes moved up until they were level with the person's standing.

It was her.

He stood up enraged.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? GET OUT!"he yelled.  when she didn't budge he grabbed her arms harshly and screamed louder, "I SAID ...WHAT? ARE? YOU? DOING? IN? MY? OFFICE? WHO LET YOU IN? GETT OUT! GET OUT!!" he almost sounded desperate now. Still she didn't move.  He just stared at her, who was she he thought? This girl didn't even move, she didn't even shift, she didn't look scared, she isn't crying, she doesn't look hurt...she looks...empty.

She stared at him, no emotion showing on her face, no usual tears making their way down her cheeks. She pulled his hands off her calmly and moved aside. She grabbed the file on the desk and handed it to him. When he threw it across the floor, she just stared at the heap on the floor and decided to leave.  She headed straight out the door without giving him a second glance, without uttering a single sound. Arnav was stunned; she had never behaved this way before. What the hell? What was she even doing here? How dare she come back? After everything she had done to their family, what the hell was she doing here now?

He picked up the file and was about to tug it in the trash when he saw the corner of what looked like a picture. He cautiously pulled out the picture and saw a picture of possibly the prettiest baby girl probably no older than three. He stared at the picture. He stared at it for so long, unable to move until Aman came through the door and asked,

"Uhh Sir? You still haven't gone home? It's 10 pm now." This brought Arnav out of his trance and he cleared his throat signaling Aman to leave. He didn't realize he had just been sitting there for almost 5 hours. He packed up the file and shoved it in his briefcase and subconsciously wiped off a tear that had escaped. Wait...a tear? He thought as he touched the watery substance and realized he had been crying.

He rushed back home and into his room ignoring everyone calling him. He locked the door of his room and took the file out. He read through it, they were all papers on her...the baby girl. He flipped through the pages. The first page was blood group, she was A-, just like him. He flipped to the next page, it was more pictures of her. He looked at her, she had lips resembling those of Khushi's...and eyes...eyes that were a light, deep brown...just ...just like his mothers. He flipped to the next page and saw a random address; he didn't give it much attention. When he flipped to the next page, it had him choking

(okayy you cant see it here...and for some reason i cant upload it but basically its the baby's birth ceritificate: Shaila Ani Gupta Singh Raizada..it has him as father on it and her weight when she was born..she was born on sept 17 2010...if you wanna see it...you can visit my blog arshiforever123.wordpress. com) 

"She...she's ...she's...mine??" he questioned through sobs. "My...m-my daughter. SHES MY DAUGHTER!" he suddenly yelled as he jumped up, off the chair and paced around the room furiously. What the hell was going on he thought? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? He stopped to look at his reflection in the mirror. Bloodshot eyes. Ruffled hair. Puffy under eye bags. Clenched fists. He suddenly punched the mirror with as much force as he possibly could. And let out a loud wail and cried as he knelt on the floor.  Then he heard his families footsteps and loud knocks at the door.

"CHOTE?? CHOTE ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" he heard his di say.

He replied weakly,

"Yea...im okay, just leave me alone please"

They only left after some insistence but when they finally did he returned to the file and looked through the remaining pages. The next page gave his heart more pain than he could ever have imagined possible.
