Bawari Piya Ki
Love Beyond Commitment
Part 19
La: It was Khushi who planned this Bachelor's party for you!
***
Khushi sat on the floor in her dressing room, with all her collection of magazines, newspaper cuttings, etc. of Arnav as she caressed them again and again with a smile on her lips and silent tears falling down her face.
Flash 1: Arnav: I don't love you! He blasted on her face.
The cruel memory from her engagement night rang in her ears and she shivered clutching on to the photos in her hand tightly. She put them back in the last shelf of her cupboard and slowly walked out of her dressing room towards the sliding door to her room terrace. She held herself with her arms around her slim torso against the cool winds flowing into her room. The curtains swinging on to her face caressing her beautiful soft cheeks. As she removed them from her face using her left hand, her eyes fell on the beautiful solitaire diamond ring in her ring finger which had been there for the last two days.
The ring had suddenly started feeling too heavy on her delicate finger, just like his dominance. Her mind travelled back to the events during the day where though she fought back brave with the pain in her heart, she had tried her best to give herself and her full commitment to her relationship. Just too see him happy and not guilty. She loved him no matter what. Their relationship was too personal to have been shared with any third personal, like he had said. She couldn't have let others notice Arnav Singh Raizaada seem uneasy and guilty about any damn thing in this world. She could never have him look weak and unsecure about their relationship in front of others. She knew how much his self respect was important to him. Still god knows how much he must have prepared himself to say sorry to her; that too in the temple when they both knew it was simply impossible for him. She felt awful at herself. She wanted her man to strong at all times; never to be in a situation where he had to rethink about his actions or to feel guilty about them. And she had made him feel exactly like that. She wanted to divert his mind off her and their problems so that he could feel happy and peaceful. And she had got the perfect opportunity for it when she met NK in the temple and got to know about the bachelor party which was still to be planned.
Flashback 1:
NK: Fine! don't listen to us. But be at this address sharp at 10 pm in the evening. He said making Arnav hold a piece of paper which looked something like an entry pass to a pub or club, and left with Akaash leaving Arnav standing there shocked.
Arnav: I am not going anywhere!!! he murmured and threw the pass away on to the ground.
Khushi stood there as she saw Arnav walk away absolutely pissed off and went to see the contents of the paper he had so easily thrown off. She picked up the paper which looked like a pass for the entry to a night club. She tried to hide it away from the elders knowing exactly what the guys had been planning and slowly walked up to NK who was standing next to the Banyan tree.
Flashback 2:
Khushi and NK stood next to the tree with NK introducing the group to Khushi.
NK: And Arnav, well your fianc, is DONNY.
Khushi: DONNY? She had a shocked expression on her face with her eyebrows shot up and her lips forming an 'O'.
NK: yeah Donny. Didn't you know?
Khushi shook her head for a no with her mouth still open wide.
NK: well it's a secret then. Don't let anyone know. Alright?
Khushi: Promise. She said swearing on herself with her right hand pinching on her neck.
NK made Khushi come closer and whispered the secret in her ear which made Khushi laugh uncontrollably.
Khushi: Okay, So now I have a better understanding as to why you gave Arnav This! She said holding out the entry pass in front of NK which made his eyes go wide out of horror as he stared at Khushi completely shocked.
Khushi on the other hand looked at him with a wide grin on her face.
Khushi: Why do you look so scared? I am not gonna eat you up.
NK: ah! ActuallyâŚ.
Khushi: Don't you dare try and lie to me. She said playfully. And it's absolutely fine with me if you guys wanna have some fun. NK smiled sighing to himself.
NK: you scared me.
Khushi: so what's plan? Don't worry I am not gonna gate crash your party.
NK: well honestly there isn't any plan yet.
Khushi: What do you mean?đ
NK: well the thing is that I landed this morning and didn't have enough time to plan anything. Therefore I was talking to La if we could do something.
Khushi suddenly excited. Khushi: I have a plan.đ
NK: WHAT?đ˛
Khushi: yes!đ
NK: But would Donny even come? Didn't he throw this pass?
Khushi looked over her shoulder slightly to see Arnav standing in the temple boiling to see her with NK and whispered: He would for sure come.
Flashback 3:
NK walked upto La who stood in the Ladies room of the pub and handed the phone to her.
La: NK I don't think I can do this.
NK: Don't worry and talk to Khushi. She's on the phone. She'll explain everything to you.
La took over the phone and NK exited the room.
La: Hello?
Khushi: Hi Lavanya; Khushi this side.
La: Call me La!đ
Khushi: Right. So La! let me explain everything to you. She went on to explain her with everything, right from the dresses to her makeup, shoes, the environment of the pub and the lights which she had already explained to NK and all. Don't worry La, just be easy around him. Just forget that he's your friend Donny this evening and concentrate more on the woman in you. And I know you'll rock.
And that's when the fear in La completely vanished. She kept smiling as Khushi tried her best to make La feel comfortable and relaxed with what she was going to do.
La: you rock Khushi. You really do. I will never be able to do what you are doing. In fact, I may just kill my would be husband if I see him like how Donny would be tonight. Don't you feel insecure?
Khushi smiled to herself: I love him.
That one answer made La's inside cry out for Khushi. La knew Arnav's take on love and felt helpless towards Khushi as she knew she would never be able to convince Arnav to love her back. He just didn't believe in it. And nobody knew why?
Khushi disconnected the phone and closed her eyes.
Flashback ends!
Khushi kept standing next to her room terrace recalling the memories from her day when she heard a loud noise of her father shouting.
Khushi: four more days. She reminded herself so as to be able to remain calm as she silently walked back to bed and got into the duvet closing her eyes listening to her parents fight. At least her day didn't go that bad. She had Arnav happy and enjoying himself with his friends tonight and that was all to make her relaxed for the night.
