Chapter No # 24

"The Insights"

After 2 Weeks
In Paris, France
In Fantastic Villa
It has been 2 Weeks since that Concert Incident where Arnav was immediately Admitted to the Hospital. Being a Celebrity and Magnet, Fantastic Rs prettily much hid the Fact of His Real Condition or else Arnav's Condition would be spread around A Globe like a Rapid Fire as He is not Ordinary Man but Raising Shinning Star in Music as well as in Fashion Field, "The Great Arnav Singh Raichand"

A Statement was realised by Fantastic Rs Band Manager "Neil Mc. Queen" and from Arnav or A.S.R's Manager "Aman Mathur" that Arnav is absolutely Fine and Next Day Arnav has been brought to Home.

Clearly hiding the Fact, in no way Arnav is near to be Fine when He is dealing with so much Stress which is not at all good at this Stage of His Health.

Next Day Arnav was discharged from the Hospital against Hospital authorities and against Fantastic Rs as Arnav doesn't want to stay in Hospital not anymore so in 28 Hours of getting Admitted He was Discharged but Fantastic Rs made sure for having 24 Hours Medical Facilities & 24 Hours of Consultant in Arnav's Service.

A little later the Press Statement was released on behalf of Arnav,

"I'm completely Fine. Weakness took a Troll over Me as I had eaten Cashews to which I'm highly Allergic to. Thanks to all of Your Prayers, Wishes & Fasts I'm absolutely Fine."

After that Fans of Arnav and His Family aka Raichands, Saniyals (except Khushi as this Fact was very well hidden from Her as Khushi is going through alot and this News would hurt Her more. So till Date She is unaware) & Mehras finally sighed in relief hearing Statement issued by Arnav.

Now it has been 2 Weeks since Arnav got Discharged and now His Condition is a bit better not Fine as now Arnav has completely given up on His Life. Even though Fantastic Rs tried very hard to restore but He didn't bulge since His Heart isn't alive.

In Arnav's Room
After revealing His Feelings out in Public or more like Confessing His Love when He was against it since He pretty much knew what might be the Consequences. But at that Time He was not in His Senses to know what He was doing as His Heart had taken full control over His Mind plus the Pain in His Heart was increasing more & more. At that Time He didn't want anything except to be Near to His Khush, laying His Head in Her Lap, talking to Her continuously, making up for all the lost Time, Confessing His Love through out and last but not the least do anything which would eases His Heart that His Khush is right here in front of Him. But no She wasn't there.

And then suddenly He sees Black Spots appearing in front of His Eyes blurring His vision. Before He could do anything due to sudden Dizziness He fell on the Ground then became Unconscious. Even at the time of being Unconscious His Heart called for His Khush, His Love and His only Beloved.

Then tour to Hospital, He was scolded by Fantastic Rs for being so careless towards His Health but it had no Effect on Him and how will it affect Him when Arnav or Annav is totally lost or dead after that Delhi Incident since 5 Years Ago. Since then, He had been the same Arnav on whom no one's pleadings, requests, scoldings or any kind of action doesn't reach to His Mind.

Once coming into Consciousness He asks Fantastic Rs Manager "Neil Mc. Queen" and His Manager "Aman Mathur" to release Press Statement as He doesn't want any of His Fans to be upset or curious about Him when the Fact is He doesn't want to let His Khush know about His Disturbing Condition even though He still Cared about Her and still Loves Her after He had finished the last Thread of their Relationship Years Ago.

Right now standing in front of another Sliding Window, which opens to Greenery Garden. Taking out His Khush's Picture from His Pocket which He Secretly captured in His DSLR Camera.

[Remember, the same Outfit which Khushi wore in one of Akash's Wedding Functions aka "The Mehendi". Note, Khushi wore this Outfit with Full Sleeves.]

[The Picture, Arnav clicked in His DSLR]

Holding the same Picture in His hands suddenly His Eyes again got filled with Tears remembering all the Memories which He got to spend with His Khush 5 Years Ago. As Time passed, the Memories could have been Faded but still those Memories of their TOGETHERNESS are still Intact and Fresh in His Minds as it all happened Yesterday.

Lovingly caressing Her Picture. He says Softly yet in the most Painful voice.

Arnav: You were Right, You were absolutely right that We weren't made for each other. We don't belong to each other. (Pause) What made You say all those things to Me in Delhi 5 Years Ago and when You realized what You spoke after a few Months You started messaging Me and Calling Me but it was too Late. Yes it was Late as I had already given up on You, on Me, on Us and on Our Love. At that Time finally I realized though You said all those things after getting hurt but it was the Actual Truth. And after that I decided I didn't want to have any kind or any sort of Relation with You either it's of Love or its of Pain. That's why it has been Years since I never replied to any of Your Messages or any of Your Calls because I don't want to be in Touch with You. (Pause) I thought I would forget You after thinking or claiming You cheated Me, My Love by not Trusting Me and I would Hate You for saying all those things in Delhi. But it's easier to say than doing it. Since 5 Years I have blocked You from wherever I could reach You or You could reach Me but I couldn't block Your Memories coming in My Mind nor could block from entering in My Heart. (Pause) And You know what is the worst part that has happened in these 5 Years that I had fallen more for You but I know I will never have You in My Life because now nothing in Me has left to welcome You back.

(Saying this He closes His Eyes and Tears fall from His Eyes and instead of wiping His Tears His hands again started Tearing Picture of Her, the One who was, is & will always be His Life but look at the Irony still being His Love & Life the Destiny has brought Him to that Point of Life where He keeps on Tearing the Picture of Hers.

Once Tearing the Picture of Her. He opens His Eyes only to Lighten the Picture of Her through Cigarette Lighter. He kept on holding the Pieces of the same Burning Picture till it fully got burned and in the process He burned His Skin too but He felt no Pain as He got Immune to it which is nothing but Harsh Reality.)

[Imagine "Madno Aashiqo Dilbaro" Music playing in Background from "Lamhaa: The Untold Story of Kashmir".]

[My Heart So Longs For You
But Know I Will Never Have You
My Heart Strives To Get You
But Know I Will Never Have You]

(After burning the entire Picture of Hers to bits, He threw the Blackened Portion on the Grass then started caressing His Left side of Chest where His Heart is Paining. After all the Turns of Events, He knows His Heart Longs for Her and Strives to get Her but still it also doesn't want Her back after remembering their Painful & Harsh Realities of their Lives. That 2 BROKEN SOULS CAN NEVER AMEND THE RELATIONSHIP.

The Truth was in front of their Eyes but being Idiots drowning in their Hormones & Feelings they couldn't understand the Truth.)

[My Love
My Darling
My Sweetheart
Oh My Love]

(She is His Love, Darling, His Sweetheart, His Life & His Everything but Love and being in Love is not enough to be in a Relationship which Khushi had pointed out in Delhi 5 Years Ago. And He too realized after Few Months thus ending the Chapter of Her in His Life but still couldn't be successful. Both were different to each other if One is Night then is Day, in short both were different to each other in many perspectives but still they got Bonded by Love. Still being Words of each other's Unsaid Words. Still being in each other Prayers they realized THEY WERE NOT MEANT TO BE. Despite Being linked they still got separated. And if still knowing the Facts still they continue to be in each other's Lives so they are going to be Scarred more than already they are.)

Hai Dill Ko Teri Aarzooo...

(In Mumbai, India
In Saniyal's House
In Khushi's Room
After seeing LIVE BROADCAST Her Annav falling into Unconsciousness She freaked out and Despite knowing their Differences if in 24 Hours She won't get to know about Him so She would ask Her Manik Bhai to Book Her Ticket for Paris and about the Consequences She would deal later. But thankfully She heard the "Press Statement" which eases Her Nerves to some extent but not fully and after knowing He is the ONE to push Her despite sending many Apologies, Requests & Pleadings. And His Pushing Her, Blocking Her only She knows where it leads Her to, to that Point where She had not only given up on Relations but also on Her Life too.

After everything Her Heart Longs for Him, Desires for Him and Strives for Him but still She knows She would never have Him back in Her Life. He doesn't want to accept Her back in His Life, though it was Crystal clear for Her since Years and now She too doesn't want to accept Him back and if still She does so on what Basis she should as Love is not enough? But it's better saying than doing it. One scratch on Him, She becomes Restless like it happened Days Ago He fainted and it made Her freaked out, worried, stressed, upset & restless. Even after falling in Love still they couldn't have each other in their Lives.)

(Here in Paris, Arnav is in Pain. Earlier His Insecurities and now He is not ready to accept Her in His Life. Same case is with Khushi, She is not ready to accept Him back too in Her Life. Agreed She has a major hand in separating each other from each other but after that She tried every possible way to contact him but He avoided Her, ignored Her as if She is not His Khush but some Deadly disease.

For Years, though She kept a Secret from everyone even from Fantastic Rs that after Arnav had send a Audio Message which lead to COMMIT SUICIDE. Since then and till now She has been messaging Him on His Number. She can't message Him on Her Facebook ID because from there She had been blocked by Him so She can't message Him there. Then when She got an Android Mobile for Herself, She contacted Him on WhatsApp too but again She was blocked by him there. And She kept on messaging Him on His Number too but little She knew Arnav had changed His Number too long back and He made sure that His New Number wouldn't reach to Her.

Holding His Photo Frame in His Hands, She softly caresses His Face. And spoke in Painful voice.

Khushi: Annav apko itna hi bharosa tha apni Khush par? Aap ne Mujhse bht Pyaar kiya lakin aj tak Aap kabhi samj hi nahi paye keh Mera Dill main kya tha aur kya hai Hamesha se. Kash Aap Mere Jazbaato ko samj pate Mere kahe hue Alfazo keh peche jo Mene Aap se 5 Years pehle kaha Delhi main. (Pause) Haan galti thi Meri, bht barhi galti thi Meri keh Mene apko us cheezo keh liye Force karha jis ko, apka Dill apko Ijazat nahi deraha tha. Lakin Annav kya woh sab kuch Mene apne liye kiya? Kash Aap apni Khush ko thoda sa bhi samj pate. (Pause) Mein har kisi ko kehti phrti hoon keh Mujhe koi farkh nahi parta Aap jo kuch bhi karho lakin Sach toh hai keh aj bhi Mujhe bht farkh parta hai Annav. Aj bhi yahan is Dill main bht takleef hoti hai keh aj bhi Aap ne apni Khush ko apne se dur rakha hua hai. (Pause) Ajeeb hai Duniya, ajeeb hai Ishq itna hona keh bawajud aj bhi Hum dono ek dusre se alag hain aur kahai na kahai ek dusre ko hi blame karhe hain humara Pyaar Na-Mukamil hone Par. Aur itna Pyaar ek dusre se karne keh bawajud na Aap Mujhe apni Zindagi main Shamil karna chahate hain aur na hi AB Mein. Humne socha tha Annav Khush EK hain lakin Humari galat famy bhi bht jald dur hogayi.

[Khushi: Annav, did You trust Your Khush this much? Even though You fell hard for Me but never understood what was in My Heart and what has been in My Heart forever. Wish You had understood My Feelings & My Emotions behind all those Words which I said You 5 Years back in Delhi. (Pause) Yes it was my fault, my gravest mistake that I forced You to do something for which Your Heart has been against it. But Annav, did I do all those things for Myself? Wish You had understood Your Khush a little bit. (Pause) I have been saying this to everyone whatever You do, it doesn't matter to me anymore when the Fact is Whatever You do, it affects Me, it Matters to Me a lot, Annav. Still My Hearts pains a lot that even today You have kept Your Khush far away from You. (Pause) World is so strange so does Our Love that even Loving each other so much still We are not Together and somewhere We are blaming each other for Our Incompleteness. And still Loving each other so much You didn't want to make Me Part of Your Life and neither NOW I want to. We thought Annav Khush is ONE but soon Our Misunderstanding got clear.]

(Like Khushi, He had adorned so many Dreams of Her that what They are going to in Future. Even He planned what He is going to do after their Marriage leading to how many Babies oops leading to how much He is going to bring their Love-Symbols in World with Her. And what He is going to do before & after Her Pregnancy. How much He is going to Pamper Her.

Knowing His Pasts that He isn't blessed with Happiness or Happiness doesn't Suit Him but still He dared to against His Destiny and Dreamt of having so many Dreams with His Khush. Though with each Dream, He felt Fear too that what if His Dreams are not going to be accomplished but still He trusted Himself, Her and on their Love that what might happen nothing will happen to their ANNAV KHUSH HAMESHA.

But now look at the Irony a little bit breeze flowed and their Relationship on which He used to feel Proud is broken. Instead of amending He gives Priority to the Pain which His Heart is feeling, given by His Love. He gave Priority to His Pain that He is hell bent on punishing Her in return hurting Himself too in the Process.

Time to Time, Again & Again He missed Her and Craved to be with Her but still Crying for Her He destroys all Her Memories which once He held dear to Himself except the Memories which are again & again flashing in front of His Eyes.)

(Since She has opened Little Eyes in the World all She could do was to see Him Her Annav. Khushi doesn't remember any of Her Toddler Memories or Memories of being a Child but what She has seen from Albums and heard from Her Parents She got to know since She was born She was bonded with their Little Chottey with some unknown invisible Thread. The Little Arnav used to hold Baby Khushi and play with Her then with Toddler Khushi till He didn't leave India. At that Time too He was walking talking Bomb but with Khushi He had been always different. She had bound Him in every Moment of Her Life. She had been Dreaming about their Beautiful Future when She even didn't realize Her Feelings Her Love for Him. Though some of Her Past or Childhood Memories might be Blurry but still it had a great impact on Her.

It has been 5 Years since Delhi Incident and since then She has adopted every Quality of Him, His Likes & Dislikes and His Absence did make Her Strong & Confident.

Since 5 Years She has not been Dreaming him but also HALLUCINATING Him. At One-Point when She was standing at Basketball Court trying to bounce the Basketball for the very first Time so She saw Him standing on the Court folding His hand and Smiling at Her boosting Her Confidence only to give Her more Pain when She realized it was not Real. And when She realized to what Extent She is hallucinating Him that caused Her to take PILLS. Same like this She had hallucinated Him many times which She had clearly hidden it from everyone.)

(He had pretended that He hates Her but when Anyone or He heard Fantastic Rs talking about Her so He hid himself and listened to their Conversation and felt Happy She is okay when She is nowhere near to okay.

Though Fantastic Rs He got to know She is missing Him and Craving to be with Him like He is but even after knowing it He neither can accept Her back in His Life nor accompany Her anywhere even though He is still looking forward & wishing to have Future Her but yet He keeps on pushing Her away from Him thinking He is not Destined to be with Her.)

[O My Beloved]

(Away from each other, both are in Pain but being in Pain they both are blaming each other & themselves with their Destiny.

This Time both are being Immature like they were 5 Years Ago. If one of them acted like a Mature Person then maybe today Situation would have been different. Both would have been enjoying their Together and would have been in Bliss.

Agreed Years Ago, Khushi did the gravest mistake on Her Part but Arnav was not less too. Many times Khushi had proved Her Trust on Him and the biggest prove is She changed Herself, for Him She trusting on Him She had voice Her Emotions & Feelings, despite Her Weak Personality She danced on Stage just because of Him & for Him in Akash-Jiya Sangeet Ceremony, next She danced with Him on Akash-Jiya Mehendi Ceremony with Him & Fantastic Rs and there were many more She had proved Her Immense Trust of Him but if for One Time She failed to show Trust on Him then Running away from Her, Arnav proved all Her Worries & Insecurities that She was all way Right. If once both have Communicated or if Arnav stayed back going against Her He would have tried to Woo Her defeating all Her Worries & Insecurities then today Their Relationship would have been so Strong & Unbreakable.

And now even though both have Fallen for each other more but still both are separated after being linked to each other.

Khushi being His Beloved still He kept on blaming Her despite understanding & acknowledging where both have gone wrong.

It is easy to fall in Love and get Married but after being in Relationship when You & Your Relationship are exposed to External Factors so at that Time only where You & Your Relationship are standing. And that happened same with Arnav Khushi. A couple who had immense Love for each other but when they had to pass Exam thrown by Destiny so they failed, so does their Relationship.)

BACKGROUND MUSIC ENDS

Few Hours Later
In Arnav's Room
Manik comes to Arnav's Room. Seeing Him sleeping, Manik sighs in relief. Though Fantastic Rs has seen Up & Down in Arnav's Condition. They have seen Him Strong as well as getting Weak but this Time it was Worst. At Least Years back He had Hope aka His Love for His Khush. And now He has no Hope.

Both Arnav Khushi have Psychological & Emotional Issues and it can be solved but due to Communication Gap their Issues keep on increasing.

Seeing Arnav is sleeping peacefully all thanks to Sleeping Pills as suggested by Psychiatrist. Seeing Him Sleeping like this, it brought Tears to Manik's Eyes and then He felt someone's presence so instantly He wiped His Tears and hears.

Sophia: Are You trying to hide Your Tears from Me Kay? (Nickname of Manik)

(Hearing Her, Manik nodded in No then hears another Voice.)

Abhay: Don't worry Nav (Nickname of Arnav) is a fighter and He will get over this soon. Nothing has happened which can not be Amended. So relax. We all are there. And most importantly His Khush is there.

(Hearing this Manik painfully chuckles. And Sophia looked away, getting Angry hearing this Name "Khush". No matter how many Times She had fought with Fantastic Rs excluding Arnav and including Nandini regarding Khushi but every time all tried to calm Her. And now She has just shut Herself from saying anything about Her either it's Good or Bad.)

Manik: And these both Idiots are avoiding & ignoring each other like a Plaque. And this Time unaware both fell harder for each other but kept on pushing away each other and blaming each other for their Failed Relationship.

(Then Christopher too came there and patted His Shoulder.)

Christopher: It all happened because of the Communication Gap. Right now both are Misunderstanding each other, their Feelings for each other as well as Situation. Let them meet each other and I'm sure in no Time they will be back together.
Melissa: Yeah Kay (Nickname of Manik) He is right. Now We need to focus on bringing Khushi here. Here They both will get enough Time but in India They will always have Persons to interrupt them so bringing Khushi to Paris is best.
Nandini: Yeah Mani (Nickname of Manik) everyone is right. We just need to focus on Khushi to bring Her here. Already Gauri Aunty & Karan Uncle has given Her Permission since We are here.

(Slowly slowly Everyone excluding Sophia tried to make Manik understand as Manik is really Weak in case of Arnav since He himself considers Arnav as His Soul Brother. Though Fantastic Rs are very close to each other, They are Family to each other but Manik & Arnav hold a special Bond towards each other and no one has a Slight problem with this.

Still seeing Arnav. Manik says.)

Manik: I tried pretty much hard to make Myself Strong these Days but what Doctor told Me about Him it still send Me Shivers.

(Remembering Doctor's Words again, Manik again feels Shiver run down His Spine. And once again His body feels Shiver which was very well seen by everyone.)

Manik: Doctor told if once again He gets another ATTACK then He...

(He wasn't able to say anything further. And everyone nodded. Then.)

Melissa: Don't worry THAT DAY would NEVER come in His Life where We have to see Him LIKE THAT in THAT WAY.

(Even Melissa wasn't able to say THAT. Like Manik & Melissa no one is able to say that Word.

Then taking a Pause.)

Abhay: We need to Call Her again.
Manik: I was thinking the same. She would have woken up by now.

(Hearing Manik, all nodded. And before anyone could say anything, all of them heard a LOUD RINGTONE. And all knew who would be as Manik saved a Tune whenever Khushi would call Him.

Immediately Manik walked from there before Voice would disturb Arnav's Sleep and before Call would be cut.

Sliding the Screen, Manik receives the Call and hears.)

Khushi: Assalam o Alaikum Manik Bhai how are You? I hope I haven't disturbed You at all.

(Hearing Khushi saying unstoppingly, Manik slightly chuckles and then answers.)

Manik: Calm down Rajdhani Express. And Walikum Salaam. And You haven't disturb Me "At All".

(Hearing Him on the other side Khushi smiles slightly. Then a few Pleasantries were exchanged asking how everyone is and how Nandini is as soon Nandini & Manik are going to welcome another Person in their Life.

Yes Nandini & Manik or MaNan are expecting. Nandini is 4 Months Pregnant. 4 to 5 Months more are left then MaNan will welcome their First Child. And that Child would be the First Child in Fantastic Rs who are going to Love, Pamper and Take Care of it as their Own Child. Even this News or Good News did make Arnav happy to such an extent where He had already Planned everything for this Unborn Cutie Pie making MaNan & Fantastic Rs Love and feel Happy as other than Khushi someone is there who is able to make Him Happy.

Though MaNan's Unborn Baby brought Smile & gave Happiness to Him but it wasn't enough to give Him Hope as Unborn Baby is not His Khush. Knowingly or Unknowingly He has given that Right to only His Khush. Who can make Him or break Him. And right now both ArShi have broken each other.

As Manik & Khushi were lost in talking with each other that literally Manik forgot to ask Khushi. It was after Fantastic Rs & Nandini asked Him through Gestures which reminded Him. Then.)

Manik: Okay Khushi. I want to ask what you have decided?
Khushi: About what Manik Bhai?
Manik: About taking Internship. So are You?

(Saying this Manik double crossed His Fingers hoping for Her to say Yes. While Khushi sighed as Manik asked Her Hundredth of Times.)

Khushi: Bhai it's not that Easy.
Manik: Why? If Uncle & Aunty would have refused there would have been a problem but then We would make them Agree. But here Uncle & Aunty has already said YES. So what is there left?
Khushi: Bhai it's not about Permission only. It's also about Passport, Ticket and Visa. And about Commodities well They said it would be Covered. Living & Eating and whatever I will need there all will be included in Expenses by them. They said either They will make Me Live in a Girls Hostel or in a Lavish Hotel.
Manik (After thinking): So are You worrying about Money? That how will You arrange Money for an Urgent Process?
Khushi: Yeah Bhai, as I have told You I have to give them an immediate Answer and within 1 to 2 Months I have to be there in Paris or else.

(After thinking.)

Manik: Hmmm. What if I do something? What if Everything is arranged soon so are You Ready? Khushi You shouldn't let this Opportunity go, it would be Big Opportunity for You.
Khushi: Yeah Bhai. Even Maama Papa is saying the same thing.
Manik: Okay. So are You Ready?
Khushi: I don't know Bhai, what should I do? All this looks like a Dream to Me. And now I HAVE STOPPED LIVING IN DREAMS. Because when We wished & hoped to see Our Dreams turning into Reality but when it doesn't it hurts alot.

(Saying this Khushi's Eyes turned Teary. Though it can not be seen but now knowing Khushi very well Manik guessed it and He was right. The Separation of their Relationship has Scarred both of them. And.)

Manik: Don't worry Khushi, everything will fall back in Place. Don't ever feel Hopeless. You never know what Your Destiny has stored for You. So don't ever be hopeless. Just tell Me if everything happens so are You going to?
Khushi: Yes. Honestly speaking when I was asked for this Internship I wanted to give My Approval but then realized it seems like a Distant Dream. If Money was not Issue then all this Procedure...
Manik (Interruptingly): Don't think about anything else. Always remember nothing is impossible in this World. And when You have Source, Power & Money so everything is easy. Now go & give Your Approval to them and get ready.
Khushi (Still being Unsure): Won't it be wrong using Contacts.
Manik: You tell Me did You get this Opportunity through Source or through Power?
Khushi: No.
Manik: No na. You got this Opportunity because of Your Own hard work. And Trust Me there is nothing wrong doing this. We will just speed the entire Process. So now go and do Your Work while I will do Mine. Okay?
Khushi (Happily): Okay.

(Hearing Manik's Answer it gives unlimited Happiness to Her but unknowingly She is still unaware She is not only Happy because She got this Opportunity but because through this Opportunity might be She is going to see Her Annav. And unaware of everything that what is coming in Future & what Destiny stored for Her that soon all Her Worries, Pains are going to be finished and soon She will be Reunited with the Love of Her Life with now no more Tests & no more Struggles. How much Destiny has to take their Tests They had given it. And now They are going to have their HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

Whereas hearing Khushi's YES, Manik's Happiness has no Limit. Quickly He started His Process. Quickly Calling the Person who is in FRANCE EMBASSY in Mumbai. As Manik said everything becomes easy when You have Power, Source, Money and yes more Important CONTACTS. And that's what Manik has. But Arnav has more Contacts than Manik. Arnav could speeded the Process much more than Manik but bringing Khushi here is kept SECRET or else if Arnav comes to know about this Development then He would do something again meaning again Running from Her.

Fantastic Rs including Nandini asked Manik what Khushi has said but showing them His Hand asking them "TO WAIT" and quickly searches Name "Shroff" who holds a higher position in Embassy. Then dialing a Number. Instantly after 3 Rings the Call was received as He being a Great Celebrity who would dare to make them wait. So.)

Shroff: Heya how are You?
Manik: I'm great Man.
Shroff: So how did You remember this Unworthy Person (Na Cheez)?

(Listening to Him Manik chuckles.)

Manik: Nothing like that Shroff. But I have One Important work from You. Can You do it?

(This got Shroff's attention and he immediately became Serious from Fun loving Guy to Serious Person.)

Shroff: You just say it. I will do My best.
Manik: Thanks Yaar. It's just that, there is a Girl Khushi Saniyal My named-Sister ...........

(After this both Cut the Call from their Sides then Manik immediately called Khushi asking for Documents. As Karan was there with Khushi so at that Time Karan took the Phone from Her. And Manik immediately Greeted Him to which Karan greeted Him back. After a few Pleasantries Manik said Him about Documents to which.)

Karan: It's not needed Manik Beta.
Manik: Why Uncle? Has something happened?
Karan: No Beta nothing has happened for which You are getting worried. It's just that it's not needed anymore because I have already filled in the form of Her Visa. After talking Arnav Beta Years back I thought alot about Panchi, Khushi & Vivaan that Studying Post Graduation in Foreign States would be Best so beforehand I had arranged Passports for them. And when 4 Weeks before Doll had told Me about the Opportunity so instantly I had Conversation. I said YES to them and they immediately give Me Her Internship Letter. And now anytime Her Visa would come. Then I will look for ward for getting a Ticket. In no way I would let this Opportunity go. So after talking with You as You assured Me You all are going to be there some more time so without wasting a Time I filed for Her Visa.

(Hearing this Information from Karan both sides, Manik and Khushi were extremely shocked.)

Manik: You are so Fast Uncle.

(Saying this in a shocking state. Then He with Khushi heard Panchi saying to Karan.)

Panchi: Dad a Letter has come on Your Name.
Karan: Give Me.

(On that side Panchi gives a Letter to Karan who immediately opens it as He has the idea. Opening it and reading the Contents a Huge Smile comes on Karan's Face. Then.)

Karan: Manik Beta get Ready Khushi is coming soon.
Manik: Meaning?
Karan: Meaning this I have received Her 5 Years Visa. And now I'm going to apply immediately for Ticket.

(Hearing this again both Manik & Khushi were shocked beyond belief. But the most amazing Facial Expressions Khushi has to which seeing it, Karan Chuckles.)

Karan (To Manik): I will talk to You later. Seeing Her Expressions I know I had lots of Answering to do.

(Listening to this Manik Chuckles. Then both cut the Call after saying Goodbye. While cutting the Call, Manik heard Khushi has started questioning Karan so chuckling hugely Manik cut the Call.

Then seeing Fantastic Rs amused & desperate Face He told everything and as expect everyone sequeled in happiness. Then.)

Abhay: Karan Uncle is so fast forward.
Melissa: Yeah here We were just thinking and there Uncle has completed all the Procedure.
Christopher: He is damn Cool.
Manik: Yeah actually. Seeing Uncle always I had this Feeling really Panchi, Khushi & Vivaan are truly lucky as they have Karan Uncle & Gauri Aunty who thinks so much about their Children. Here we were just thinking and there Uncle without thinking has actually done it.
Nandini: Maybe Parents are like that only.

(On this everyone nodded. Soon having some more Time with each other everyone dispersed to their Room.

Whereas in Mumbai, India Khushi was extremely shocked with Her Parents who were extremely fast forward that they had not only arranged the Visa, Passport but also had bought lots of Her Dresses without Her Knowledge and in all this Panchi & Vivaan were supporting them that what would look best on their Dear Sister. So all in all, all were together in this Mission. Hearing them, Khushi started Sobbing and hugged them, getting overwhelmed by this.)

Next Day
In Paris, France
In A.K. Fashionista
Even in Paris AR has a branch. This City, in the City of Love, Arnav introduced His New Clothing Line under A.K. Labels in Biggest Fashion Show. After introducing the New Clothing Line which has a Mixture of both Traditional & Western Wear and in no Time it got much Popularity and within a short Time it became the Choice of the whole Paris and even Peoples outside of Paris. A.K. Label Clothing became No # 1 in no Time. It became so hit that in the following Days He had to set up a separate Office in Paris "A.K. Fashionista" making Khushi, His Khush Owner and naming 70% of Shares are in Khushi's Name while the remaining 30% Shares are in the name of Karan Saniyal. While He being the Guardian till Khushi doesn't take responsibility for it. And He doubts whether Khushi will ever be able to.

But He Promised Himself till Khushi doesn't take care of it, He is going to give His as much as Attention He can give. So more than being in AR Paris Branch He sits & works here in "A.K. Fashionista" making its Name Huge and Furnishing it more.

In Owner's Cabin
Till Khushi being it's Own Owner doesn't take its Full Responsibility so He is going to take its Full Responsibility and sits in Khushi's Cabin.

As Arnav was sitting on the Comfy Leather Chair with closed Eyes and moving Glass Sphere Ball thinking something deeply, very deeply. It was after sometime that He got a Knock. Answering it He heard a Voice of the General Manager as well as P.A.

Tina: A.S.R, Peter Marino is here from "DeCore Studio" with His C.E.O Bobby Berk.

(Hearing it immediately Arnav opened His Eyes and heard further.)

Tina: Shall I send them in, Sir?

(Arnav immediately nodded. Within no Time Owner of "DeCore Studio" akka Peter Marino comes with His C.E.O Bobby Berk.

Seeing them, Arnav gestured to them to take a Seat. After that, playing with a Sphere Ball.)

A.S.R: So what brings You here Mr. Marino?
Mr. Marino: A.S.R I want to ask when we are going to Sign the Deal?

(Hearing this, He stops playing with the Sphere Ball and raises His Eyes at them.)

A.S.R: Mr. Marino You could have asked Me this on Phone. Never Mind, Mr. Marino We are going to Sign the Deal soon in the Next Week as currently I'm pretty much busy with a Project and about to Wrap it up. Plus in this Joint Venture, We are not only going to introduce Fashion Designing but also Interior Designing. And I hope Your Fashion Designing Team as well as Interior Designing Team is ready?
Mr. Marino: Ohhh A.S.R We are very much prepared. And there is this Girl whom I had called from Mumbai, India which has mind-blowing Interior Designing. Given a chance I'm sure this Girl will go Huge & huge. Her Name is K...

(Without listening to Her Name, Arnav interrupted, unaware who the Person is.)

A.S.R: It's up to You Mr. Marino what You do and what You don't but be ready on 25th with Your Team and Presentation in "Ace Huntington" Hotel. I have already booked Hall for that Day.
Mr. Marino: Okay A.S.R I'm going to be there with My Team.

(After that Mr. Marino or Peter Marino stands up with Bobby Berk and Arnav who Handshaked each other then walks out.

Sitting back on the Seat. He pulls the Drawer and takes out His Khush, His Life's Photo Frame. Caressing Her Face from above of Glass.)

Arnav: I will not leave any Stone to Furnish Your Company more & more. Just be with Me.

(Saying this He caresses Her Face again then Kissing Her Forehead and brings the Frame near to His Chest. Then was about to destroy the same Photo Frame that He hears a Ringtone. Seeing "Mom" as a Caller ID, He smiles brightly. Still holding a Frame near to His Chest, He slides the Screen of His Mobile. And hears His Mom's Chirping voice which makes His Smile a little more Wide. Greeting Her and Greetings back.)

Ratna: How are You Baby?

(Hearing "Baby" He became Irritated and says in same Tone.)

Arnav: I'm not "Baby" anymore so stop calling Me One.
Ratna: Oh yes You are not "Baby" anymore but is perfect in Age to have a Baby. Right? Between no matter how much Children age they were and will always remain a Baby for their Parents. And You can have One after marrying My Daughter so when are You going to Marry Khushi?

(At this Arnav became Numb. Ratna went on continuing Praising Khushi, Her Daughter but here Arnav was shocked & Numbed. And after a few Minute He immediately changed the Topic.)

Arnav: Now You got a Time to talk with Your Son?
Ratna: Sorry Beta earlier when You called I was busy preparing so I wasn't able to receive Your Phone.
Arnav: I was kidding Mom. So how did it go? Did Payu like the Boy?
Ratna: What do You Think of My Voice?
Arnav: Hmm. By Your Chirpy Voice I think both liked each other. Am I right?
Ratna: Absolutely. Payal liked the Boy and so does the Boy.

(Hearing it Smiles widened on Arnav's Lips and why not His Dear Sister "Payu" is also set to marry. It's going to be Typical an Arrange Marriage.)

Ratna: But there is a Problem Ansh's (Boy) Family wanted Early Marriage that much Ansh and His Family liked Payu.
Arnav: So what Problem is there? It's a Good thing Mom.
Ratna: Yeah Good thing but Payal doesn't want to Marry right now. She wanted at least a Year for Herself and to understand Him before Marrying Him because She is going to marry in a completely Unknown Family. So She wants some Time.
Arnav: Hmmm. Well I don't blame Her. It's Her Decision. She is right, Mom. I think She is right.
Ratna: Hmmm. Anyways You tell Me what You are doing now?

(After this Duo Mother & Son continue to have some Talk. It was after half an Hour when Arnav cut the Call.

After talking with His Mother, He feels a little fresh. Then again looking at Khushi's Picture.)

Arnav: Everything is Good & settled all thanks to You. I never thought in fact I felt Disgust about thinking to Amend Mother & Son Relationship as I felt She is not Worth it. I had completely lost all My Hopes to get My Mother back seeing Her. I thought I hated Her and felt disgusted with Her Presence but the Fact was I was NEVER, I was just angry at Her and unknowingly wanted Her, My Mother back in My Life anyhow. I didn't understand but it was YOU Khush who understood My unsaid Feelings. Today if I got My Mother back and She got back Her Son so all credit goes to You Khush who tried every damn thing in this World to Amend Our Relationship. When We were Together so it was Your Dream to see Mother & Son together and when Today We are so You are not there to see this. Today everything is happening which You wished for and dreamt for. I can never thank you enough for giving My Mother back to Me. Today everything is settled & sorted and what isn't is Our Relationship, Our Love. (Pause) I still didn't understand till Date even after Loving each other why We are not together, is it Our Lackings or it's Our Past which didn't let us to come together again? (Pause) Aur ab Hum milna bhi chahain so We can't because Mein woh purana wala Annav nahi hoon. Infact woh Annav toh ushi Din mar gaya tha. Ab kuch bacha hi nahi Mujh main jo Tumhe phrse accept karsakhe. Aj bhi bht Pyaar ki Roshni Mere Dill main bharti jarhi hai tumare liye lakin woh Bharosa jo Humain bandain rakhta tha woh ab uth gaya hai. Ab na hi Mujhe apne par Trust hai, na hi Tum par, na hi Kismat par, na hi Humare Pyaar aur na hi Humare Rishtay par. Ab kisi cheez par bhraosa raha hi nahi Mera. Siwaye Pyaar keh sab kuch Mere Andar se chatam hogaya hai.

[Arnav: And if we wanted to be United again We can't because I'm not that Old Annav anymore. In fact that Annav has died that Day only. Now nothing is left in Me which would Accept You once again. Even though I still Love You quite a lot and still Love Emotion is intensifying in My Heart for You but that Trust which had bonded us together isn't there anymore. Now I have no more Trust in Myself, not on You, not on Our Destiny, not even on Our Love nor on Our Relation. Now I have no more Trust left in Me for anything. Except Love, everything is finished from inside of Me.]

(He said to Himself or to Her Picture as if She would reply anything to Him or make Him realize that STILL NOTHING IS FINISHED AND NOTHING IS LEFT WHICH CAN NOT BE AMENDED.

Once again bringing the Frame near to His Chest He closes His Eyes. Kissing Her Frame for the last time,

BBBBBBAAAAMMMMMMM

Once again another Photo Frame of Hers got destroyed as Arnav threw Her Frame to the Wall resulting it to break in Million Pieces.

Then out of nowhere He realized what He did might have Pained Her so like a Mad Person rushes & kneels on the Floor. Holding the Frame and removes the Broken Glass Pieces not caring in this Process He was getting hurt as sharp Glass pieces are injuring His Fingers. Once all the broken Pieces got removed, he looks at the Frame Intensely.)

Arnav: No matter how much I hate You and blame You but the Fact is still after everything I Love You A Lot maybe more than the Past. But I won't Accept You back in My Life no matter whatever Circumstances come & go. You were My Past and would remain a Part of My Past as I had stopped living & dreaming. Still after Loving You I would never forget & forgive You for what You have done to Me and to US. You successfully ruined everything. You were Successful and You know what is the worst part is that I let You be successful. It was You only who taught Me the meaning of Relationship and then You Yourself had broken the remaining Trust on Relationship. It was You who amended My Relationship giving Me back My Mother for whom I had been Craving for Years but due to My Own Fear I never let Her come to Me and it was Your Efforts. You brought My Mother to Me but in return You snatched Yourself from Me, breaking Me, You & Us in the Process and for that how much I try I would never be able to Forgive You & forget.

(Saying this Few more Tears escaped from His Eyes but instead of wiping them with another Hand He held broken Glass Pieces in His hands then fisting it. Soon Blood started falling on the Ground but the Pain which He was feeling never got shown in His Eyes nor on His Face as if He was Immune to it. True not Him, but She is also Immune to the Pain which Destiny kept on throwing Them.

Then out of nowhere He remembered after Many Months of Delhi Incident, 5 Years Ago He came to Rented Apartment for 2 Rooms and there He saw His Mother Ratna Singh Raichand. Like every time He thought a Big Drama or Big Argument is going to take place but like that no such thing happened as at that Time Arnav got completely Gave up and He was dealing with lot of Emotional Stress which had Emotionally tired Him a lot that He didn't have Energy to fight with Her. And for whom He should fight with His so-called Mother when that Person many Months Ago had given Him the Reality Check of their Relationship. No big Argument took place between Arnav & Ratna. At initial time there was only Silence but then Arnav said something not able to control His Emotions anymore and finally getting Weak infront of Her and then Ratna in no Time consoled Him. At that Time both Arnav & Ratna realized what they missed all those Years all because of their so-called Egos, Insecurities & Fear. After that Ratna had tried to make up for all the lost Times and also tried to pick up His broken pieces but She was never successful as the Pain in His Heart was above than everything as this Pain tells Him the Bitter Reality of His Past.

After remembering the Flashback, He came back to Present and saw the Number "SF". Seeing the Flashing Number, He know very well and quickly picked the Call and answered "I'm Coming." Then leaving everything behind He walked from there to ONE place where He know where He can let out His Pain without anyone knowing it.

No one in Fantastic Rs or Raichands knows what is this "SF" as like everything Arnav has also pretty much hid this SF. But unknown to Him whenever He goes to SF, many Miles away there is someone who felt His Pain and it did no Good thing to Khushi, yes same Khushi.

It is like Hatred in their Hearts doesn't let to minimise the Distance but Love in their Hearts always felt each other so does their Pain.

Arnav Khushi had been through a lot and many of things they hide it from their Families & Fantastic Rs. Both Arnav Khushi indulged themselves in SELF-DESTRUCTION. Though they both got failed in the Exam thrown by Destiny but their same Destiny can't see them like this, SELF-RUINING themselves so it decided to bring both of them together but then only Time will tell the Consequences.)
