Chapter 30 - A Lonely Night!

Khushi was crying continuously and Ananya did not know how to console her... She had guessed that it must be lover's tiff and she promptly messaged Arnav letting him know that Khushi was with her and she will not send her back tonight...

At pub, everyone tried to cheer Arnav but he stayed silent and drank enough beer... He was on high when he discussed a little about the walk and show next day... Lisa tried to dance with Arnav but he was almost drunk and she had to give up her sleazy dance attempt...

"Arnav I want to be your date for tomorrow... So what if Cathy invited me before you..." Lisa was in fun mood and wanted his attention during the show next day... There will be media and enough cameras present to cover the event and one picture of them together will be good enough to trigger gossip and her entry in his life... Lisa was taking calculative steps...

Arnav did not entertain Lisa or answer her back. He was too busy reading the message from Ananya...

Coming home drunk, in pain and not finding her made him go crazy...

"Khushi, you hurt me so much..." He screamed...

"Look Ma, how she hurt me and left?" He complained to his mom looking into the clear sky and was in tears...

"How can you do this to me Khushi? I don't even know what happened or what was bothering you and how things went wrong so suddenly? Why can't you just speak up damn it?" He was really angry at her and himself... He thought they had come a long way and had a strong future together... And he himself broke off whatever they had in a rage...

He sat in balcony watching stars and dozed off...

"Khushi, calm down... did you guys fight?" Ananya finally managed to ask her...

Khushi nodded and started crying again... Ananya was getting worked up... Khushi did not talk a word and was just crying continuously...

"Give it a couple of days and then you both can talk to each other calmly. As is there is too much work pressure and another fashion show tomorrow. Don't hurt yourself or him right now... It will not do any good to both of you..." Ananya was trying her best to make Khushi understand... She forced Khushi to drink water and lie down...

Khushi was exhausted... She did not know how even they started arguing and it aggravated so quickly... She knew they both had bottled up emotions and it came out in a very wrong manner... She had hurt him real bad... He was right, it was 14 months ago when she had landed in his arms in his Lucknow Fashion Show, since then he was always attracted only to her... He broke up with Lavanya for her and never dated anyone else... Still she had to act like a mean and insecure teenager?

Mr. Mehta expressed his gratitude for Arnav that he collaborated with Mehta House for her!! How dumb she was, not to realize it all this time? It's so obvious that if Arnav wanted, he could open a brand new office of his own in days... In fact, AR office building was in the process but Arnav never showed any interest in speeding it up or moving away from Mehta collaboration. Because he wanted to be with her. She had refused point blank to work with him so he tried to come back and work with her and what did she do?

He was right, indeed she did not understand him... And all her efforts were wasted now... When she does even understand him, does she even deserve him? She asked herself and she knew the answer was NO... She simply let some trivial issue, her insecurities, her immaturity take over and mess the beautiful relation they were slowly building...

But then he too did the same, she felt. His famous anger took over and he broke off just after their very first fight... And here, she dreaming about marriage and love for 7 lives... She had no idea when she dozed off thinking about him...

"Khushi, if you want I can inform Mr. Mehta and you can directly come for the show in the evening" Ananya was worried for Khushi... She looked awful and sick...

"No Ananya, it's ok. I have lots of things to do. Mr. Mehta might not say no but I need to be responsible" Khushi rushed to get ready though she felt tired and feverish...

Unfortunately today was not the day for her to clarify things with Arnav... He was too busy with Angels' upper management walking in and continuous meetings. She was busy too.

She had no clue what he could be thinking about yesterday. He behaved completely focused as if nothing had happened. Obviously he had to. He had the business to run, a major show tonight and deliverables at hand.

Arnav had seen Khushi and he knew only thing they could do was ignore each other until they get some time for quiet talk and sort things out or maybe not...

She arranged for food for everyone, watched him eating, taking his medicines and felt relieved. She herself could not eat though...

Her heart was drowning with a feeling maybe she lost him forever... It was hard for her whole day to concentrate yet tried to pull through her day somehow...

Khushi was going crazy managing and looking over all the arrangements for the show. Time was flying and she had so many things to cross verify with her team - Food, dresses alignment, Drinks, music, lights and confirmation on all models... She had no time for herself or she did not even realize she needed to get ready as soon as possible.

By the way show was open air show on terrace decorated breath taking beautiful...

Mr. Mehta and Arnav walked in ready... She could see Arnav had changed into light blue shirt and maroon color suit and looked dapper as usual...

"Khushi, why are you not ready?" Mr. Mehta was worried seeing her so pale...

"Ok sir, I will go" Khushi replied and started walking away. Just then Ananya came in ready.

"Khushi, where are you going? And where is your dress?" Ananya remembered she did not carry any dress while coming from home.

"I don't know" Khushi whispered taking Ananya on the side...

"Let's go down. Pick up something from model's rack. Let's try and see if something fits you... Come on we have hardly few minutes..." Ananya rushed her downstairs.

Arnav realized she was completely off, but he couldn't do much about it today... He was feeling sad and guilty too... May be he would apologize for rash decision while being angry, but right now he had to give her some space to figure things out for herself first!! Then there would be any chance for them to reconcile or part ways for ever...

Unless she clears the clouds in her mind, he knew they had no chance to be together...
