Hey Everyone. This is the second-last chapter of Tremors.
WARNING: It's a bit of a shocker. People with weak heart, stay away. FAAAR AWAY!!!!!!! PLZ READ THE WARNING ON PAGE 1!______________________________________________________________________________CHAPTER SIX
"Wonder why she's not back yet?" NK thought to himself as he gently kept patting Anika's shoulder, who had snuggled against his body, sleeping. He checked his watch, it was nine. He looked down at Anika, who was now peacefully lost in her world of candies and ponies. She looked so much like Khushi but her eyes were that of Arnav's. She looked like an angel with her long hair dispersed on the pillow, reflecting the light of the beside lamp. She was lost in a world that was unreachable for an adult. He was admiring Anika's innocence when he heard the door of room open and looked up to see Khushi standing by it. He was shocked; her eyes were red and the kohl around her eyes, smudged. She had a small smile playing on her lips as if she was admiring the beauty of the scene before her.
"What happened?" NK started to get out of the bed but was held back by something. Both of them turned and saw a sleeping Anika's hand clutching NK's collar. "That is my habit" Khushi silently thought as the flashback of her clutching Arnav's vest after he saved her from falling off the cliff during Shyam's kidnapping attack, came back to her. Tears flooded her eyes on remembering the past and she quickly turned back and walked out of the room, trying to get away from the scene.
NK quickly yet kindly untangled his angel's palm from his shirt and made his way out of the room. The sight killed him a little in the inside. She was at the dining table, crying softly with her head buried in hers arms on the table. He stood at the door for some moment, trying to gather courage to face what she was about to say. He had no idea what made her cry so badly after so long but his instincts knew it would be something horrible. His heart sunk as he advanced towards her; he hated to see her like this. He sat on the chair next to hers and kept his hand on her head. He kept soothing her, hoping she'd stop but it was of no avail. She kept weeping. "What happened?" he asked tentatively, unsure if he wanted to know the reason. Khushi slowly raised her head and turned to look at NK. She was red from all the crying. "He's back." she sobbed softly. "He's back and he'll take Anika away from me. Away from us."

NK turned the knob of the door and strode into the dimly lit room with anger and confidence riding high and came to a halt few steps short of a chair. "I knew you'd come" came a malice of a voice from the person, sitting with his back towards him, on the leather couch. He dramatically got up and turned to face NK. There vengeance in the two pairs of eyes. Finally, the two brothers, NK and Arnav, were facing each other after five long years. "Why have you come here? Why did you have come back when things were finally falling into place?" asked NK angrily. "What did you think, NK? Did you think I'd let you take Khushi away from me. I asked you to take care of her. Not snatch her away." came a reply from Arnav. "Do you remember our conversation from that night or have you forgotten all about it, NK?" he asked.
"I would've taken care of her even if you didn't ask me to. I love her too much to leave her alone. I had already planned to take her along with me before we discovered that she was pregnant. It was only because of that, I came to you. Just to let you know that she's pregnant with your child and secretly hoping you'd amend your mistake and apologize. I hoped that you'd get her back because I'd seen the pain of losing you in Khushi Ji's eyes. Moreover, knowing the fact that she was pregnant should've made you realize your folly but nothing of that sort happened. You let me down again. Too lost in your own grief, you just asked ME to take care of her. You never did anything to help her out. I kept calling you, updating you about her condition, her health, your child but you never bothered. I understand whatever happened in the past with Anjali Di, your parents and Garima Aunty was monstrous but Khushi had nothing to do with it, ever." NK went to on, breathlessly.
"Shut up, NK" Arnav cut in loudly, not liking the fact that someone was making him face the bitter truth about his mistakes. It wasn't like he didn't know them and not suffer every single night but NK went on. He was on a roll tonight. "I hoped that you'd make it up to her after Anika was born but you didn't and that's why I stopped calling you. You know, I was the one who Khushi cried out to. I saw the way she was haunted by your thoughts almost every other night. I tried to set it right for her but it never worked. We settled down after some time and had a perfect life. When, after all these years of being faithful to you but only to die a little more by every passing day, she decided to move on with me, you had to show up. I called you to let you that we were together because I thought that was the right thing to do. She was your wife but never legally as you never signed the official papers. You were supposed to do it the day after your marriage but sadly, it never got around to happen"
"She was faithful to me for all these years?" Arnav's arrogance changed to shock. The moment seemed to freeze as truth hit him...
It was a glass shattering truth...
"What the hell have I done." The dam of guilt came crashing down on him. "It took Khushi a long time to reach where she is today. Anika is my daughter, Khushi and my daughter. Stay away from Anika. Stay away from us and most importantly, Stay Away from Khushi." NK concluded, making his loud sentence crystal clear to his ears. With that, turned around and left a confounded Arnav in his wake.

It had gotten late; Khushi was returning home from work wearing a knee length overcoat over her dress and her heels were clicking on the concrete pavement of a busy street. The wind played with her hair, trying to calm her down but it failed, for the first time. It was a long day. Her boss had screamed at her for not paying enough attention to her job of late and the kids seemed extremely unruly today. She took in a deep breath and snuggled the bag on her shoulder closer as the events from her last meet with Arnav kept playing before her eyes. The more she tried to evade it, the more it got back at her. It was like fighting a battle that was long lost. She had let Arnav get the better of her. She had fallen weak. How could she? It was so stupid, she thought as she walked on. The thought of Home, Anika and NK waiting for her back home soothed her a bit. As she walked, she figured a silhouette, a little far from her. As she advanced, the figure became clearer. It seemed like he was waiting her and thought of it creeped her out. She stopped a few steps away and was about to turn away when the man stepped into the light and showed his face. Khushi was shocked and rocked to the core. It was Arnav, with bloodshot red eyes.
She immediately took few steps back and started to walk away but Arnav quickly placed a hand on her shoulder and said "Wait!" She reflexively brushed his hand off her shoulder and continued walking away but a strong Arnav placed his hand back on her shoulder and forcefully turned her around to face him. "Do not touch me. I'll start screaming" she said, her voice rising. "Khushi, just listen to me." He pleaded but she kept taking steps back. He reached his hand out and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ears and she jerked it off. "Stay away" she almost screamed. "Khushi, give me a chance to explain" he said loudly, stepping forward to keep pace with quickened stepping backs. "Arnav Ji, leave me alone" she said as her foot stepped down from the pavement and onto the road but it was unnoticed by both. "Just listen to me once" he almost screamed. "Never" screamed back Khushi and turned around to walk away. She was now completely on the busy road.
The world went on slow motion right then.
A bright white light hit her from the right.
Khushi turned and her eyes widened in fear.
"KHUSHIII.." screamed Arnav, at the top of his lungs and his eyes filled with horror.
A painful shriek filled the air.
The world around Khushi went dark. Forever.
