~ Withered with hurt ~


Part Three



Same day..

Roy Mansion...

Late Night...

Khushi was standing at the poolside looking at the night sky. Today there is no star, forget about the moon. The dark cloud has covered the sky... the dark is similar as her life at present.

Khushi look at the watch which she had kept at the small stool beside the pool.. It's already 1:30 a.m. Khushi smile ruefully, so today also Arnav will not return at home..

Khushi took a deep breath to control her hurt and the moisture in her eyes, It's been almost three weeks, Arnav had properly talk with her or spend a little time with her.. and since last two weeks Arnav was even ignoring her calls and messages.. and it's the second day, in this week that Arnav did not come back home at night..

Khushi felt that the sharp pain in her heart once again coming back remembering all the possibilities of where Arnav may be.. Because Arnav is not alone, Arnav had companion for this nights when he did not come back home... Arnav was accompanied by his college friend cum ex girlfriend Ms Saina Kapoor...

It's just One month that Ms Saina Kapoor was staying with the Roy's in Roy Mansion.. and It's been one month that Khushi has realized her actual place in the Roy family, her actual worth in her husband Arnav's life..


********

"Trophy wife"...

When Khushi had heard the word "trophy wife" first time, she had laughed aloud.. What kind of word this is? How it is possible that someone marries just to keep her at home to maintain his household, without any love, respect, passion and companionship? Khushi never believed this type of words and truly laughed at Piya when once she has uttered those words regarding Mrs Manchanda..

But today Khushi knew better.. Yes.. This type of words do exist.. This types of relationship do exist.. There are couple who plays happily married infront of the whole world but within the four wall, they are strangers...Sometimes, the husband also became abuser, physically or emotionally or may be both..

Khushi never thought she will have to go through this type of nightmare, this type of married life...once again...

Yes, once again...

Khushi had almost forgotten about her forced, contract marriage with Arnav and the way Arnav had behaved with her. Ohh.. How easily she had forgave Arnav and again embrace him with love for the second time.. After their second marriage, Khushi truly was living a fairy tale life forgetting a very little but important fact that her husband name is Arnav Roy...

The Arnav Roy, to whom, Khushi always comes secondary. Arnav once choose his di's happiness Over Khushi and forced her for a contract marriage, then again he choose his mami's spoken words over Khushi's pleading eyes and called her the biggest mistake of life.. and numerous time Arnav chooses his ego over Khushi and Khushi has to pay the price by sometimes almost losing her life by being caged in a damaged building, or sometime standing in the heavy rainfall or sometime being thrown from the first floor of his office...Every time Khushi survives only to fight back again..and every time when she forgave Arnav, he comes back with some new devilish plan...

Now when Khushi thinks about the past, she wonders why Arnav married her, a simple, ordinary middle class girl when he is having a bunch of classy women as his admirer?

Khushi thought it was love... that Arnav actually fell for her and that is the primary reason that they are now husband and wife...Business tycoon THE AR has married the ordinary, orphan from Lucknow just because of LOVE..., pure never ending love..

But since one month slowly Khushi's these believe fade away and replaced by some new theory ...

Did Arnav marry her to satisfy his ego?

Because as Khushi remembered, Arnav Roy never wins over Khushi Gujraal since the very first meet of their at Seesh Mahal.. His power, money, standard nothing, literally nothing did able to bend Khushi Gujraal on her knees.. Even in the period of their six month old contract marriage, Khushi always put challenges on Arnav's path.. and afterwards, when the realization dawn upon him, that he, the great AR misunderstood a scene and punished a innocent girl brutally, Arnav not only felt guilt but it also bruised his ego..

Khushi now wonder, did Arnav's concern, care, love was just out of guilt? Was there never genuine love or respect? By this time, it was clear to Khushi that Arnav never trusted her fully, the way she trusted Arnav after all the humiliation and injustice he has bestowed upon her...

For last one week, precisely, for the last 2 days, that Arnav is not coming to home or more precisely spending with his ex-flame cum present "friend", Saina not only shattered Khushi but forced her to think, did her entire married life was a mere mirage? Her 5 years 8 months of blissful married life was just namesake? Was that too fragile that, a girl from her husband past just came and shakes the root of it's in such a way, that it's nearly to crumble down... Arnav not only make a distance with Khushi but his action forces, their baby girl, Arshi too act indifferent towards Khushi...

And everything occurred just within one month.. A 5 years 8 months old marriage life cannot stand a blow of one month old "old flame"..

Khushi looked at the time again and it's almost 2:30 a.m. She prepared herself for another sleepless night ahead. Slowly Khushi took steps towards their bedroom, which was once filled with their love, now is devoid with any ounce of warmth and comfort...

Khushi took the photo frame from bedside table which have a happy family picture of her, Arnav and their daughter Arshi... Their, 5 years old daughter Arshi was always a papa's princess. And Arnav Roy also left no stone unturned to pampered his little princess. Though Khushi loves to see the father daughter bond, but somewhere she felt Arshi is going very stubborn and a little bit spoiled, due to the over showering of things in her early age..

Khushi always expresses her worries to Arnav, regarding Arshi's rude nature but Arnav ignore it saying she is a little kid and will be all okay after she gown up.. Arnav even assure her that, Arshi will be a well balanced person, after all she is " THEIR DAUGHTER"... Khushi was assured with her Arnavji's talk but now she realises, how wrong she was...

Arshi Roy is the little version of Arnav in all sense.. Though she has cute little button like nose and hazel orbs, just like her mother, but her other features and attitudes are totally like Arnav...

Thus Khushi never got really wondered when Arshi refuses to call her "Amma", instead she called her "MOM" just at her 3rd birthday ... Arshi is just picture perfect, perfect for the Roy Heir... She followed her father religiously in every step.. That is why, all those years, Khushi being so loved and was the best "mom" for Arshi as Arnav was aww at his wife...Though Khushi always thought, Arshi may be rude and throws tantrum, but she carries a soft and sensible heart... But all her believe, her believe of 5 years just shattered like a beautiful glass paint, within this one month and Khushi is the one holding the broken pieces of her destroyed dream, where as Arnav and Arshi are far, far away...

Khushi could not put a finger how and when everything slips from her hand. When her "Arnavji" faded away by Saina's "AR" or when her jalebi, her daughter Arshi changed so much...

Was it the moment Saina Kapoor took an entry in their life with his son Mehul ?

Or

The moment Arnav started to spend more time with Saina just to punish Khushi because she did a DNA test because of her insecurities ?

Or

The moment Arnav thought to torture Khushi by severely ignoring her without giving her any scope to explain herself ??

Khushi was too numb to adjust with the blatant ignorance and insult her husband was throwing at her that she probably did not put much attention with the change behaviour of Arshi...

Suddenly Arshi felt Saina aunty's pasta is much better than her mom's boring aloo paratha, suddenly Arshi felt Saina aunty has better taste in selecting her fancy dress rather than her own mother..Arshi also felt it's better Saina aunty attend her PTM along with his father held at last week..and obviously, her beloved father fulfilled her wish, by taking her "Saina aunty" instead of her "mom" for the PTM.

How this all happened and why?

Did commitment, unadulterated love, blind trust is nothing in compare to a Harvard Degree or a body hugging dress or fluent English?

Initially Khushi had ignored Arshi's behaviour thinking she is mingling with her "father's friend" though it hurts.. It hurts like hell when your own daughter ignore you and become close with your husband's ex flam infront of your own eyes and the worst part it, Your own husband encourage it...

Khushi silently watch how the family members always support when Arshi rudely behave with Khushi and how Arshi took her own mother for 'granted'..

Just like her father...

Initially, Khushi thought she is over thinking, but with time, Khushi realise that NO, Arshi, her daughter too is ignoring her.. But Arshi is a child and a mother daughter relationship is beyond everything, they can withstand everything ... and though Arshi was always a pupa's princess but her undying love for Khushi was genuine..

She is her daughter, for God sake and she is just 5 years old...

Khushi now understands why Arshi behave like this or behaving, because she does not want to offend her father, Arnav.. To a little Arshi, her father is annoyed on her mother and ignoring her, so, Arshi also blindly followed her father's footstep without realising the damage both the father daughter are creating on the selfless soul... Arshi thought it is like the little blunter which sometimes occurred between her papa and mumma , and then everything gets to normal when either papa or mumma says sorry...

But this time, the entry of another woman changes every equation... and Arshi was too naive and too young, to understand anything... Thus Khushi is hurt with Arshi's behaviour too but she is not at all angry with her.. It's just that her heart is crying, is craving for her daughter... Her motherly instinct is suffering seeing her own daughter hugging and kissing her husband's "ex girlfriend" while completely denying even sparing a single glance towards her own mother...

An unbearable pain stab her lower abdomen once again, but it's nothing to the heartbreak she is feeling since so many days... 

The feeling of abandonment engulf her...Once again


*************

Slowly Khushi put the photo frame back in it's place, Khushi shook her head trying to avoid the sharp pain.. This room is suffocating without Arshi, without Arnav.. She quickly came out of the room and walk towards downstairs to fry jalebi, to distract herself.. But her steps halted hearing a weeping sound coming within the guest room..

Khushi though has a vague idea who is crying in this hour of night, but still she open the guestroom door.. and she is welcome with the scene which she had expected...

Mehul is crying his heart out hiding himself over a pillow.. Khushi felt bad instantly for this little boy.. Just the way Arnav and Arshi abandoned her, the same way Mehul is also abandoned by his mother Saina.. Now, in the perfect world of Arnav, Saina and Arshi, Mehul too became a burden just like Khushi..

Though, the boy is one of the main reason that she is currently standing at the verge of her almost broken marriage, but still KHUSHI could not blame him.. After all he is also a child.. He is just 10 years old.. Though Mehul was always rude to Khushi in initial days, but later, there was something in his eyes the way he used to look at Khushi after every time he used to hurt Khushi in last few days...

A sudden plea, a silent apology...

Khushi thought not to disturb the boy and was about to turn but halted in her place listening Mehul whisper, " Please don't go.. Please don't leave me alone.. Khushi aunty.."

And the moment Mehul lifted his misty eyes towards Khushi, she felt the emotion which is currently running through her every vein...

The raw pain, the raw pain of rejection and abandonment....

And that was the moment Khushi realized that everything is not finished, that she can begin again...

A broken heart can mend and can healed by a broken soul..once again.. Smiling brightly, Khushi wipes the tears on Mehul's cheek and whispered, " I will never leave you alone, Mehul..."

Because Khushi knew at that moment that, she and Mehul belong to the same place, they both are, "Withered with hurt"..


To be continued....
