He spoke quietly not looking at her.

"Khushi..." he whispered agonizingly.

Khushi sniffled her sobs and wiped her tear stained cheeks and turned toward him. She stared at his shirtless back before he turned around to face her.  He stared at her. She looked so weak and fragile. He was such a monster to her. What is wrong with him he thought?

They stared into one another's eyes and by now Khushi's tears had dried up on her face. He moved his hand up to her face and very gently brushed his knuckles against it. Khushi knew she should've moved away..she should've been angry at him for doing what he did to her. But instead...what she actually did just then was the exact opposite of what her mind was saying to her.

She let out a loud cry and burst into tears and snuggled into his chest as she did so. She punched him repeatedly on his chests with her small fists crying,

"Why? Why the hell do you do this to me Arnav?! Every time. Why do you have to hurt me so much? Why cant you just not hurt me?" she cried, still not moving out of the warmth of his chest. Arnav wrapped his arms around her, protecting her in his embrace.  He gently caressed her hair staying silent, just trying to provide her comfort. Khushi's tears subsided and she stopped punching him and snuggled more into him. She kept her face in his chest and hugged him tight. She inhaled his musky aroma and savored every moment with him for future memories. She may never see him again and that fact hurt her so freaking much.

After a long while, she moved her face out of his chest and looked at him, still wrapped in his arms. He was looking at her with a tortured, broken expression. She lifted her head so it was level with his

The tears that were trapped in his eyes swiftly fell down his face.

"i..Im soo sorry Khushi" he whispered

Khushi looked down at nothing in particular. She nodded.

She didn't know why she did that. She should be angry at him and leaving right now considering his treatment of her. But she just couldn't leave him seeing him in such a vulnerable, broken state.

"You should be hitting me right now Khushi. You should be crying and screaming at me telling me what a horrible person I am...why aren't you Khushi?" he asked unsurely

After a long while she spoke,
"I don't know"

"But I...I hurt you so much. How do you still manage to look at me and not kill me?"

She shrugged.

"You have hurt me Arnav...God you have hurt me so much. And i...I still haven't forgiven you...and I still haven't forgot." She whispered.

"Im sorry that Im like this"

"I know."

"Why do you put up with it?"

"I don't know...I will never know the answer to that question"

After a long pause she continued.

"Maybe one day I wont be able to anymore"

"No Khushi...please don't say that" he said very softly

"Its too late now Arnav...I don't know how much more I can deal with this" she said looking down

He turned on his back and looked at the ceiling.

"I know Khushi...Ive done some terrible things with you. Unspeakable injustices and yet everytime you came out better and stronger. You succeeded every time. I respect you so much for that Khushi..."

She propped herself up on her elbows and looked down at him and spoke.

"You expect too highly of me Arnav...maybe one day it'll be too much for me and that day you wont have me with you to tell you its alright. I know Im too nice to you. I know after everything you have done with me...being ruthless with me when we first met, marrying me against my WILL, shunning me in the eyes of everyone...of those I love,kicking me out when I was pregnant. Leaving me to raise our child on our own. Slapping me. Abusing me with words.I know that after all this I should have left you. Left you to suffer in your own loneliness but I don't know...I just cant. You call me your wife...but to be honest...I feel anything but."

He sat up against the headboard

"Shhh Dont say that Khushi please don't say that...I know...Ive been so horrible that sorry is not even enough to begin" he said as he crushed her in his arms. After a long while he spoke.

"Khushi...do you know why I'm like this? Rash and irrational? Im cruel and I get angry very easily"

She continued to stare at him.

"Its my father Khushi...he was like this...did...did  I ever tell you about myself Khushi...about my past?" he asked.

She shook her head.

He put her down and got off the bed. He went to stand at the French windows which revealed a beautiful lush garden...one which couldn't be seen right now due to the night. But little shimmery lights could be seen and that was beautiful in itself.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked out. He took in a big sigh and began
