Khushi’s POV
“Maa I am done. I can’t eat more.”
“Little more, Khushi, and I promise I wont force you again. Just two more morsels.” Maa insists.
No one has ever fed me with so much love and how can I deny Maa? So, I allow her to resume feeding me the dal rice she cooked for me. It has a different taste compared to the ones which Maa cooked or maybe my taste my changed due to the medicines I keep intaking to soothe my ankle sprain. Ever since I have returned home with NK dropping me today after this injury, Maa hasn’t left my side. She is full-time busy in pampering me and I love it.
“Let me pamper my daughter-in-law until for the next month, after that I’ll get to speak to you only on video calls.”
What? What is that supposed to mean? Maa reads my confusion.
“Arnav told me an hour ago that we are leaving for India after a month. Since you have your modelling assignments, you can’t join us now which is absolutely fine. I want you to shine in your career, Khushi. All my blessings are with you.”
I swallow painfully. So, Arnav is seriously leaving after one month? Looks like. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t involve Maa or notify her.
“I can stay with you for some more time if you need me though.” Maa adds.
“I’ll always want you beside me Maa but my schedule is going to be hectic and Arnav too deserves to have you around him,” I reply painfully.
“Yes, he deserves it too. My boy has lived alone for almost six years. He has slogged hard to be where he is now, Khushi and I’m so proud of him. They say few incidents in life teach you to be tough, but my Arnav broke down, then again rose up to fight back his battles. And in all this, he found you as his life partner.”
Oh Maa!! She doesn't recall yet that I am the same woman she has tried to keep me away from and the same woman whom her son has tortured mentally after tricking her into marriage.
“I have just one request though,” Maa’s voice breaks my reverie. “You are still angry on Arnav but before this month is up and we have to leave, I want you both to patch up. I can’t wait to see you both living a normal couples life. For now you both don’t even share a room and this is been dragging from too long. Will it too much for me to ask you to let Arnav stay in the same room as yours.”
I am speechless. So far, Maa has always been supportive of my distance with Arnav, only because we have framed a different picture to her. If she comes to know what Arnav did to me which is why I am pushing him away, will she still want her son to stay with me and me act like his good wife?
“You don’t have to confirm it at this moment,” Maa adds. “Take your time but do think about it before we leave. God knows when I’ll see you again after that if you become busy here in New York and don’t come often to meet us in India.”
I suddenly choke the food at her remark. I’m never going to India again because when Arnav leaves for India this time, it will be with my signatures on the divorce papers. Our relationship will officially come to an end and I’ll break every ties with him. Maa makes me drink some water and I feel better.
“Did Arnav put more chillies in it? I hope not. I’d asked him not to.”
“Arnav?” I ask her curiously. There were no chillies in the dal. I choked because I wasn’t focusing while swallowing the food.
“Yes. He cooked this dal for you. Ever since you are unwell, he is doing his best to make sure you are well rested and because he loves you, he insisted on cooking this dal for you. Was it tasty?”
I am amused. Arnav cooked meals for me? At one side he is telling his mother that they are leaving after a month, and on the other side he is also trying to gain my attention. This man is surely manipulating me into giving in to his ways so that I forgive him and continue the rest of my life being his wife, but that’s never going to happen.

Wow thanks for the long precap.. Khushi is too smart for Arnav. She has already found the motive behind Arnavs actions
ReplyDeleteNice Precap. Arnav's mom is taking his care of Khushi. Their bond is getting stronger. Arnav is leaving for India. He was hurt now Khushi is hurt by his decision. Even if Arnav's mom remembers the past hopefully their bond will remain the same. Arnav's mom wants Arshi to patch up and want them to stay in the same room. She is unaware of what happened between Arshi. Khushi is planning for divorce. Hope Khushi gives a chance to Arnav. He might have hurt her but loves her too. Arnav cooked for Khushi.Though Arnav really did a mistake in the past by hurting Khushi but still don't want Arshi to separate. Khushi looks quite determined. Hope she change her mind.
ReplyDeleteThis Man Is Really SomeThing ,
ReplyDeleteI Can't Get Over His Love And Care.
He is Trying To Get Her Attention And Surely Manipulating Her By Holding Her Back For Love......
Hope Khushi realise Arnav is really regretting for his actions. And Arnav should woo her soon. Though she is a tough nut to crack but Arnav must not loose hope and keep trying one day he will succeed and Khushi will forgive him . If he goes away how will he win her heart and make her realise his love. Waiting 😘
ReplyDeleteY would u delete the comment that u have given a update in 10 days. Ur readers deserves to know this. Urge to the readers to ask her to not to start a new story before ending the previous ones. So that we can quit the blog peacefully
ReplyDeleteCan we all just stop fussing over the slow updates. Madhu has mentioned her compulsions and commitments countless times. Please don't push her to quit this blog altogether and deprive those of us who are willing to wait for the updates. There are countless other Arshi fiction writers who update once in months and some even don't mind ghosting there readers for years; Madhu has been way more regular than those writers even with the slow updates and we should be thankful to her for that.
DeleteWhy is the gap between the updates the focus here.. she’s updating and I’m grateful…
DeleteHe is not manipulating you,hope you understand his genuine care and love.
ReplyDeleteWhy so much fuss for updates timing , it's not at all easy to write a story ,it's take time to create the plot ,and she also need her personal time ,so who have problem can stop reading the ongoing story and read it when it is completed .so then you won't have to be left at cliffhanger but stop pressurizing the writer ,it will affect her content.
ReplyDeleteArnav is regret for his mistakes he done to khushi and asks for second chance here he was the who betrayed by the name of love by khushi in past and he was the suffered physically and mentally because of her love drama and she denied his love infront of her father and insulted him and her father what did to arnavs family yet we don't know not only Arnav but his whole family suffered by khushis foolishness of used Arnav for her own happiness after knowing that he loves her truly yet she didn't ask sorry to Arnav but he in the name of marriage he tortured her mentally but always stood behind her back to hold her he was hurt and angered by her and her father's act ,he did mistakes in the name of revenge but now he realised his mistakes and asks forgiveness from khushi I know she is angered by his words said to Anjali after the next day morning of their consummate but he is not using his ma to gain khushis forgiveness hmmm yet he didn't told khushi about her father's sins which he did to arnavs family members Arnav didn't want to hurt her more by saying that but khushi should know about that then only she realise her own doings in the past that how much affected Arnav and his loved ones .take care dear don't bother about who commits about u ant ur schedule time for this free blog who wants to quit the blog they can but we r here for u always as a true fan of ur writting on our always fav arshi Stories
ReplyDeleteHey , there was an old link in this blog asking for prompts. Can someone tell me how to access that? It's not there in recent.😔
ReplyDeleteI didnt get you. Which prompts?
DeleteTher was one asking for suggestions for ur next story. Can u pls give the link
DeleteWhy! Why must everyone or someone HAVE to intervene and force their likeness or preference of the equation of one's couple on them!!! Why the couple have to be forced or pressured to do something according to others when the relationship is all about just them two as a couple. I don't appreciate others giving their precious advices, suggestions or wishes to a couple and told them to do something which they don't wanna do, they should have the freedom to lead their relationship the way they want without a third person's involvement and wishes, unless the couple asked themselves. After the arnav's mother this talk i guessing arshi are gonna surely obligated to share a room together even if just for night at the end of 1 month thing completion. And this will surely break the ice between arshi, as always. I wish them to share a room or clear things between them But by their own willingness.
ReplyDeleteNice
