Second Chance # 2

My Memories...







 
After a while she broke her hug and again look down to ground: I am sorry.

Arnav hold her from her should and tilt her chin up so again he can look in her eyes : Don't say that, he hug her , what happened dear, tell me?
Khushi control her sob and before she can say anything he gesture her to sit on bench so they can talk easily, she followed him and sit beside him
Arnav : now say what happen?
Khushi look in his eyes : Nothing Arnav, Granny is in hospital.
Arnav sigh and pull her toward him, she put her head on his shoulder and continue : Doctor said she don't have time. May be 2 or 3 days more. She again start sobbing. She looked at him on which he just nodded gesture her to continue : mom called me this morning, telling me to come back, but.. she pause on which Arnav knows what, he voice her words : for always.
She nodded, he sigh on that. He again voiced her words: They also have someone for you, so you can settle. She again nodded, but this time he laugh on that.
She looked up to his face, without any thought she stood up and about to go away, before she can move out Arnav grab her in hug, she try to free herself, but he is strong enough to hold her back : I am sorry dear, I just want to light up your mood, I don't want to offend you. He justify himself, before pulling out from hug, he asked her : You won't run away right?
He can bet she give him a smile, he can feel a warm breath on his chest which came from her mouth, which obviously bring smile on his face.
Without breaking hug : When are you leaving?
Khushi replied : Tonight.
Arnav : When are you coming back?
No reply came from her side, he broke the hug and asked her again: when?
She looked up moisture in her eyes : Don't know. She said with matter of facts.
Arnav : Okay then, I am coming with you, before she can protest he put his finger on her lips to shut her down, and continue : This is statement, I am not seeking your permission. I will pick you up at 9pm okay. Be ready.
And he left her in utter disbelief, but not before smile endure her face.She knows he will never let her face alone, what ever the matter will be, he will always beside her.
Arnav turn and with a huge grin he said : I know I am the best. And wink her and disappear behind huge wall which separate college and this small secret garden for their secret meetings. She again smile for her Friend, who can do anything for her.
She meet him again in canteen and try to make him understand that he can't come, with idiotic excuses like : what about your girlfriend, what she will think. your project is incomplete, what everyone will think. what about new girl who's number you wants, you will miss her you know. All the lame excuses she used on him, but he is Arnav he doesn't care. He knows she wants him, so he will be with her, then who cares what this world think. He drop her on her hostel, before she go she try last time to convince him not to come with all her courage she said last words she want to use in between them: Arnav ! She pause
Arnav: hmm. was his only answer before he look toward her.
Khushi took a deep breath and said in a one Go : They will think we are boyfriend girlfriend. When she opened her eyes she saw him looking at her with a smirk on his face and a big arch of eyebrow which is now reaching her hair or his foreheads half of his forehead is covered with his hair may be because of Air or due to consist habit of his playing with his own hairs he said : So, this is all your last excuse?
She curse her star for this and sigh, she knows this is the most ridicules excuse she has ever given him, she knows everyone back to their home knows him ( very well knows him, this is not first time he is going their with her) she took a huge sigh and went inside. still curing herself for what she said.
She has completed her packing and waiting for him to come, and as always he is on time, she took her bag and within seconds meet him in parking lot. He greet her and sit in his car.
Arnav consciously asked her : What is the status Khushi?
Khushi look at him : Still alive. was her plain answer
Arnav nodded on that.
Without any more fuss Khushi finally asked him : Arnav why you are coming with me?
Arnav just smile on her enquire but didn't answer, after that she even didn't asked him and rest of the journey went in complete silence just the songs which is humming in back ground. after a while she again broke the silence.
Khushi : Arnav I want to say something'.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her trance of thought break by her name echo in the room..
A man shout again : Khushi Towel Please.
She took few seconds to come back from her trans and replied : Yup! One second honey!
A man peeped out from the door of bath room : Where were you lost?
She smile and handed him the towel : Just got lost some where I guess.
Man : Still you are same My Love.
Khushi enquire : You want me to change?
Man : No I like my Wife like this only.. He took a pause and with playful smirk he added : I guess.
Before she can throw anything on him he closed the door.with the bang which echo in whole room. She smile on his husband tactic and take a deep sigh..

She told him about wedding card of Arnav and that she is already late so, she is leaving for work, his breakfast is ready on table, and plied him that he have it before leaving for work.
After good bye love you she sat in her car and drove off to her Office..
