EPILOGUE
My life after Khushi had left was nothing but I had just one aim of my life and that was to make Khushi better and for that I had done everything I could. In past two year, I have appointed all the bestest physiotherapists and doctors for her not in the hopes that she will accept me for doing this to her but just in hopes that one day I can see my Khushi on her feet once again.
I hadn't met her in these two years as the rejection in her eyes never gave me the strength to face her but everyday when she would fall asleep I would go to her home and see her from afar. Initially Aunty didn't liked me and she blamed me for whatever happened to her daughter and she wasn't wrong either. I am responsible for Khushi's state but my love for wants to see her everyday. I know I cant talk to her or face her when she awake as i, Arnav Singh Raizada is too coward to face his love but the truth was I cant live without her. I want to see her and see how medicines are working on her. Although Di would tell me how things are going but I get satisfaction when i see her with my own eyes everyday at 1 in the morning. she doesn't know that visit her and I want to keep it that way.
"Chotte...? Di's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Di...come in please. I said and she came in.
"Where is Pari...?
"She was making a card for her Mama all day...I put her down to sleep now she informed me while sitting down in front of me on my bed making me smile.
"I wanted to meet her. I said.
"Don't worry...she'll barge in your room to wish you birthday first. She said and although I wanted to be happy but I couldn't.
"Di please...I don't want anyone to wish me. I told her.
"Chotte for how many more days you are going to be like this? she asked me.
"I was always like this DI... I admitted.
"No you were not...after that accident you have gone from bad to worse... she said.
"I had lost everything Di that day...I don't feel happy anymore. I admitted and she got closer and hugged me and I rested my head on her shoulder.
"Why don't you go and meet her...talk to her.
"She hates me Di.
"Maybe she wants to meet you too.
"She doesn't want to Di...I ruined her life.
"Chotte...stop blaming yourself.
"She is lying on the bed from 2 years because of my mistakes Di... should be the one on her place...but she saved me and got shot in my place...all this wouldn't have happened if...
"Stop talking about the past Chotte...it's only going to hurt us more. She said and wiped my tears.
"Are you going to see her tonight? she asked me and I nodded.
"Aunty gave her the medicines at 10 and she is asleep now...you may go. She told me.
"I will go...but did you go to see her today...how is she Di? Is there any improvement? I asked in hope to hear something positive form her but she looked down.
"I wish I could say yes Chotte...but it seems like nothing is working on her. she said and all my hopes came crashing down.
"It's been 2 years Di...how long God is going to punish me...and why is he punishing Khushi for my deeds. I asked Di.
"Because you both are one soul. She said and I looked away.
"Not anymore Di. I said and stood up to avoid any more conversation regarding my broken marriage with Khushi.
"Chotte...chotte wait. DI said and I didn't stop. I divorced Khushi on her will and we legally separated. She is no longer my wife and I am no longer her husband but laws can't stop me from loving Khushi.
I sat in my car and checked the time...it was 12.15. Di might want to wish me my birthday but I wanted run away and escape any such situations. I don't want anyone to wish me as my birthdays are no longer happy birthdays as long as Khushi is not a part of them.
I put in the ignition and drove towards my destination. It took me 25 minutes to reach her home and gathering all my courage, I knocked at her door and Aunty opened the door.
"How is she?
"She is sleeping...go. She said and I walked towards her room which once we shared as a husband and wife. I reached her room and opened it slowly making sure the noise won't wake her up. I switched on the small light and reached for her bed but shock filled mea I saw the bed empty.
Khushi wasn't on the bed. I suddenly panicked where she went and was about to rush out of the room to call aunty the bright lights lit in the room and her voice echoed in my ears.
"Happy birthday Arnavji...
Arnavji...!!!
All the feelings somersaulted in my heart. I was hearing this word after 2 years that too from the exclusive person I love. I turned around, too numb to react and I saw her coming out of the bed holding a cake in her hand. My mind stopped working as I was unable to wrap m head around the situation. I took a step closer not able to believe my eyes.
She was standing on her feet, talking to me.
I stopped in my tracks not able to believe anything and was about to rush out f the room when she held my hand to stop me.
"Are you going to leave me again? she said and her words sliced my heart. I tunred back, scanned her from top to bottom.
My khushi is on feet.
"Khuhsi... I walked closer to her and gently touched her cheek.
"Y-You... I choked not able to complete my sentence.
"I am fine now. she said and it was too much for me to contain and without thinking twice I reached for her and hugged her tight.
"Khushi...I-I can't...I cant believe my eyes. I said.
"I am okay now Arnavji. She repeated and I broke the hug to scan her once again. it's not a dream, she is on her feet, walking.
"When? I asked unable to form sentences.
"A month back...I wanted to surprise you. she said and I didn't know how to feel at this moment. Sad, that she didn't told me, or happy that she still cares for me.
"Now just cut the cake...i baked it especially for you. she said and took me to the and made me sit on the bed.
"No...first tell me how? And why...why no one told me? I asked her.
"I told them not to...otherwise I wouldn't be able to see this smile on your face. I wanted to surprise you for your birthday. She said and I hugged her once again.
"Khushi...I..
"Shh... she silenced me keeping a finger on my lips.
"Don't say anything Arnavji. She said and I looked deep into her eyes.
"I know everything. she completed.
"Khushi I ... I grabbed her hand.
"You were not the only one would look forward for 1a.m. she said and like a deer caught in the head light, I got nervous.
"Khushi you...
"I never used to fall asleep without hearing your voice. She said and I panicked. Does she knew whatever I said, my apologies, my confession...everything. She came closer to me and sat next to me.
"I didn't wanted to be a burden on you...I agree I was angry and for a moment I blamed you...but then I also knew that I am useless...I couldn't be your wife when I couldn't even move.
"I wanted you to be my side Khushi...always...and why would you be a burden...my love was not just for our physical needs... I said as tears rolled down our eyes.
"What did you say? She frowned and asked me.
"That even if you were paralyzed it wouldn't have made any difference to me. I said.
"No...not that...other thing... she asked.
"What?
"That you...lo-...that you... her every word made me nervous and never had I thought confessing your love in front of the person you love would be this difficult.
"That day you said you love me Khushi...but you never heard my answer. I said.
"I love you Khushi...I love you more than anything in this world. I said and she gasped making me nervous.
"Now I can die in peace. She said making me angry.
"KHUHSII... I yelled.
"Sorry sorry...but it took 2 years for you to say it...I almost left all the hopes. She admitted sheepishly and I hugged her.
"I love you too Arnavji... she said in my embrace and my heart skipped several beats.
"Khushi...will you marry me? I asked.
"No... she broke the hug and my heart sank.
"No...i mean Arnavji...we need to do damage control first...because of us Didi and Akashji too suffered...we need to get them back together as well. She said and I sighed in relief.
"Khushi..you'll be a death for me one day. I admitted and she chuckled.
"Now lets cut the cake I am hungry. She said and bringing the cake in between us she gave me knike as I was about to cut the cake she sang loudly...
"Happy birthday to you...
"Khushi...don't. I said embarrassingly.
"Why are you shy birthday boy? she teased me and I smiled and cried at the same time. I missed her, I missed her antics and without saying anything I claimed her lips. She melted in my arms as she reciprocated the kiss and then we broke the hug to grab some air.
"You are not going to cut it...so let me. she cut the huge piece of the cake and fed me.
"Happy birthday Arnavji... she said and kissed my cheeks.
"You really made it a happy one Khushi. I admitted and she smiled and resting her head on my chest she muttered the most beautiful words.
"I love you.
"I love you too.
