Two More Days Later

Fiji @ The Maan's Residence

6:30 am in the Morning – Khushi's Room

Khushi stirs up in her sleep, her hand going to reach out to Arnav on reflex. But when she doesn't find him next to him, she sits up in bed almost immediately – a frown coming to her forhead - first thing out. She eyes the time on her wall. It was just 6:30 AM. Infact, even their morning alarm was yet to set out on them at 6:45am, because they were scheduled to leave by around 8am this morning – with Samarth, Manizeh, Amaar for a day trip to – the nearby Mamanuca Islands.

Wait. Was he freshening up? She called out for him out loud. But got no response. Nah. The vibe in the room just felt like she was alone. Sitting up in bed now, shifting the duvet around her torso, tucking it under her arms - covering her bare self snug and cozy – Khushi picked up her phone from the side table – to ring up Arnav.

Where was he? She couldn't help but have her frown deepen as she wait for Arnav to pick up the call, because naturally she didn't like the feeling of not waking up next to him, this morning or seeing his face first thing out. For the last so many days, ever since Bali, it had become a morning ritual to wake up cuddled/snuggled into his arms and then getting lost in making a round off wild love to one another – before they finally left the bed – for the day.

What the? She looks back at her phone frowning now. Did he just cut her call? She calls, again, only to have Arnav cut it again. She sighs and is just in the middle of writing a text to him – when she hears the room door open in hurriedly + sound of rushed footsteps in - keeping her duvet snug on her at that Khushi asks – " Arnav...is it you baby???"

And to her monumental relief she hears the lock on her room door go click just as she hears his loving voice come through – " ofcourse...its me baby...who else do you think will be sneaking his way back into your room right now? why do you think I was cutting your calls? Because I was rushing back here..anyway...,"and at that he finally appears in front of her – still dressed in his night tee- and tracks and plonks himself on the bed and adds kissing her head – shooting her a warm smile before pulling her into a deep hug – " goodmorning...my love..."

Khushi hugs him at that obviously glad to finally feel his arms within the first five minutes of waking up if not immediate but she admits kissing on his shoulder – "well, the morning wasn't good...baby...because...I woke up..not finding you next to me..dammit...you know...I'v become so used to waking up in your arms...so like...why did you leave my side before I woke up???plus tell me something...where did you go anyway??? at this hour?given that even the morning alarm hasn't buzzed on us???"

Arnav hugs Khushi into himself at that. Well, yet again, because he had no option but to cover up the truth he whispers kissing her shoulder – " sorry baby...I had just stepped out for a little morning walk...thought..ill do some riyaaz by the pool this morning...you know...I haven't had any practice for days...so just thought at waking up about 45 minutes ago...why not...I not disturb you from your deep slumber and use the morning hour for the same...I mean..we reaching back Mumbai in three days no baby..you know got few recordings almost instantly..."

Khushi sighs at that as she whispers hugging him harder – " ohhhh....okay...that's what it was about then..then...kool...I mean..yes..times flying out here with you baby..so it hits me now that you gotta get back to recording in four days from now maximum...so yeah good to get your riyaaz get going after these days of rest...,"and she just keeps hugging him hard to herself.

Arnav once again, finds himself taking comfort in her embrace.

Well, the truth was, that last night before going to bed Arnav had spotted Rajesh Maan's text to him asking him to meet him out on the grounds for a walk around 6:00 AM, as he wanted to discuss something important while Khushi and Ellie aunt were still sleeping. Arnav had gotten out to do the same – only to discover the man being on his apology spree again – as he mentioned how as days were passing with him observing around the two (A&K) so happy together – he really was having a hard time coping up with his guilt for the past especially when Arnav wasn't even thinking of forgiving him. He'd been his usual coaxing self that – perhaps if Arnav could just get himself to forgive him atleast?

And what had Arnav said to the man this morning? That even though – yes he could sense more sincerity in his apology than the usual hidden agenda of helping his own guilt through – he still think he had it in him to give him forgiveness yet.And he just couldn't say that he'd forgiven him – just for the heck of saying it.And soon after he'd made this statement – he'd excused himself to come up again anyway – with the intention of sliding next to a sleeping Khushi back. But when he'd received her calls on the way up – he'd realised – she'd already woken up and would surely be frowning in wonder – and not finding him there, next to her. He'd dammed her father -for the same in his head – momentarily before finally stepping in -covering up with a usual smile – to cook up a cover up/hiding point to her face again – and this time around first thing in the morning. Dammit. As it is – He freaking hated lying to her on this accord and to do it first thing in the morning – just felt more rotten.

Perhaps – only one way to undo the uneasiness? He just had to lose himself in her again. Right very now. As usual, only she could make him forget it all...

Arnav pulls apart from hugging Khushi now and cups her face locking his gaze with hers and is about to lean in to kiss her now – when to his surprise he feels her place a finger on his lips immediately at that stopping him from kissing her and he asks – " huh???"

Khushi narrows her eyes – " you...already...jinxed our morning ritual for the day..Arnav by not being there next to me..when I woke up...k?so..no goodmorning ...kiss for you..right now...you can say..this is me..getting back at you...for my momentary ache of not finding you next to me..this morning...,"and that she just reaches out to pick up one of his tees she had on last night before going to bed – from under his pillow – the tee he'd taken off her urgently before ravishing her for the night – and she gets the duvet off her givinghim just a couple of seconds of the gorgeous view of her torso – that he loved - and puts the tee on her in a jiffy and begins to get out of bed from the other side...smiling to herself.

As if, Arnav was going to let her get away with it? And he knew – she knew that. She was just riling him up with this – was it working? Yes, it was.

In no time – he had grabbed her by the hand from behind and made her lie back on the bed and slide in next to her at that hugging her from behind as he whispered kissing her ear huskily whilst kissing on it – " you know...you don't have it in you...to leave the bed...without our morning love-making ritual baby....remember our promise?From the other day?When living our days together...we'd always start the morning..only after having driven each other wild...,"and at that his hands began to make their

Khushi shivered in her being at that.Well, there was no way she could resist him – anyway – now that he had hugged her snug from behind and she whispers though teasingly with words – "well, I remember our promise...baby...but you jinxed it like I said...so...yeah....only fair...I say...our ritual..ain't..happening...right now..," but her body betrays her on the same – by just melting into his arms at that as he hugged her tighter from behind.

Arnav whispers into her ears again from behind – as his hands finds its way under the tee – to just lazily and sensuously play around her stomach – teasingly enough – "you know...you don't mean that baby...you know...you don't just don't freaking mean that...,"

Khushi whimpers as she turns around a little just with the movement of her head to face him – " I mean..it...okay??,"she whispers teasingly.

Arnav whispers huskily at that his eyes lingering to her lips leaning forward towards her lips but yet not kissing her his hands finally making their way closer to her intimacy dying to feel her snug and ready for him – " you don't..mean it...and...how do I know...because your body talks to me in a different language right now..baby...I know what you want...right now...baby..."

Khushi scowls keeping her gaze locked with his electric mysterious ones as the two are still faced towards one onether him looming on her from behind and her having turned to face him a little – " well, not fair...that my body's become one traitor...all on your accord off late...just doesn't listen to me...anymore..the very second you touch me....,"and on reflex she found her body give him all the access he needed – her own hand now guiding him rushed – " damm you....I hate the way...you freaking...know my body so freaking well now...more like at the back of your hand..."

Arnav shoots her his side rakish grin she loves – " really...you hate that? baby?I thought...you love that bit as much as I love it...freaking love it...that all I need to do now...is touch you...anywhere...and I can just sense...what's flaming you..what you want....in the moment...,"and at that Khushi finally lets out a passionate moan as she feels his fingers finally enter her deep and just as she was about to close her eyes to him she hears him whisper – " don't...please? just keep them open...right now...I just want to enjoy the sight of you undoing yourself baby...keep your eyes locked with mine...and tell me...this is why you were frowning when I came in...right?you wanted to wake up to the feel of this....didn't you?baby??,"he asks in a sensuous mischevious whisper – as his hands invaded her deep and sensuous loving the play of her vulnerable expressions.

Khushi fights a passionate shudder simultaneously as she admits keeping her heated gaze locked with his unable to tease him in the moment because of him acing his bit of undoing her passionately in desire – "dammit.....yes....I so wanted to wake up to the feel of this...and not just this...you know that...,"and she scowls now tugging on his tee up as a moan escapes her lips too – " why are you still clothed...dammit?? I want you..now....in me...freaking now...Arnav...you want me too...I know you do...I can feel it...guess what? I know your body too...I know...just exactly will make you lose this teasing mode...too...just this second,"she adds snuggling into him behind – purposely and sensuously now caressing her back-curves against the evidence of his maddening desire for her – knowing it will make him lose his senses and compel him to make wild passionate love to her.

And ofcourse – Arnav loses it. Just then – he loses it. Within lightening pass of the seconds – they are both just bare and he enters her all rushed and the two begin to move together wild and intense – making wild love to one another – as per their usual morning intense ritual...of late!!

..............................................

About forty minutes, later at around 7:30 AM - Arnav and Khushi finally step out of the bath/dresser area in Khushi's room after getting ready for the day. They'd obviously had an extended sensuous love making session in the shower as well – before they'd finally gotten around to actual bit of showering and getting ready for the day.

Arnav was obviously feeling all relaxed back to his usual self after spending these intense passionate moments with Khushi and was now feeling all excited for the day out of exploring with Khushi+ Samarth+Amaar+Manizeh. They were to explore – Mamanuca Islands. Another bit he was excited about? That he totally intended to try a hand at snorkelling with Khushi – by his side around those islands too.

Just as they are about to step out the door hand in hand – he admits the same to Khushi and watches her grin back at him as she whispers turning around to stand within the circle of his arms her hands going around his neck – " look at that...someones become all water friendly baby? Or water loving?? After the scuba diving experience the other day....well...indeed...I am excited about snorkelling around with you too baby...but remember...life jacket on for you...no way..otherwise..."

Arnav chuckles and cups her face – " as if I don't know that...like as if...you would let me step into it without life jacket...Khushi..,"And he adds in a reminde r- "also remember..later tonight..is when we finally talk to your parents about our live in – plan..k??as we decided??"

Khushi nods at that grinning – " indeed...tonight...after dinner...with everyone...we will have the talk with them..as planned...baby...,"and the two lean in to share a brief intense kiss before she asks into his lips – " come on then...lets get going? Before...the crazy us...just lose our senses again and find it difficult to take our hands of one another..."

Chuckling at that from Khushi – fondly – Arnav finally laces his hands with hers and the two step out her room – excited to get on with another day of exploration and relaxation – together.

...................................................................................................

Twelve Hours Later – Nearing 9:00 PM – Maan Mansion

Ellie Maan – had been freaking disturbed the hell out of her mind since morning.Why? Because, when she'd woken up in bed to spot Rajesh not next to her this morning, she'd obviously head out herself to look for him thinking he'd be out for a morning stroll or be reading some news/articles by the pool? If not in his study?Catching up on some pending business work? But when, she's actually spotted him in the outdoors – under the gazebo looking out at the waters upfront having a deep intense -conversation with Arnav – ofcourse it had surprised her to her very core.

What would- Arnav and Rajesh be talking about at 6:20 am in the morning? Ofcourse, because curiosity got the better of her – she'd walked in on behind – but given the two had their backs to her and were talking – they hadn't spotted her near and around. And ever since – she'd heard her husband apologize to Arnav for what she assumed would be a grave matter given the vibe she'd sensed on Arnav's sideface as he faced her husband – and replying with the bit that he just didn't have it in him to forgive – him yet – her mind had been going in a freaking overdrive – thinking – what the hell was this about???

Why was Rajesh apologizing to Arnav that way?Why was Arnav so tense saying that he just couldn't forgive him?She hadn't got the huff of the context – given that Rajesh had just sighed in deep regret at that before Arnav was about to walk away and so she'd just hidden around – and waited for Arnav to leave. Once, Arnav had left , she had - had every intention to walk upto her husband to talk to him about the same but given that – she saw him heading to the pool to get on with his swimming just then – with remorse and tention etched all over his face – she decided to just think more on this – all day before actually confronting him.

And she had spent all day – thinking on the same ofcourse. While Rajesh had been at work, the kids being out exploring – Ellie had spent the day going to-and fro in her room - rewinding everything she'd heard in her head. What if she'd heard wrong?But then, given that she was so sure of what she'd observed and heard – she had now made up her mind to confront Rajesh about it – as soon as he came home that evening from work.

But, she couldn't pull that off eventually for he came in late just around the time – the kids as in Arnav, Khushi, Samarth, Amaar and Manizeh came back from their happy day out – at around 8pm an hour ago and then ofcourse – she got busy with getting the dinner set and served for all. The dinner had also gone by listening to the kids – and their happy tales/moments from the day..

But now was the time. Finally. The dinner was over. Rajesh had retired to his study to finish on some work/mails etc after bidding the kids bye – leaving them in the living area downstairs to get set to enjoying some karaoke time together as per their plan.

Infact,now as she made her way out the kitchen - she could hear the happy singing voices come down the hallway. She smiled to herself at that and walked up closer on reflex. Through the glass partition -she could easily spot – Arnav singing the karaoke song perfectly as Khushi cheered him on swaying next to him happily as she chipped in with him whilst singing as well and Amaar and Manizeh+ Samarth happily grinned on – with Amaar and Manizeh gesturing that they were next .

Ellie stood put in her spot – enjoying the scene – from her spot.Observing Arnav more so in the moment too. He seemed normal.Then what was this morning about? Why had she spotted him so tense around her husband in privacy unlike how normal and relaxed he was around everyone else??????? Now – Khushi's words from the other day return to her head – from the first day of arrival – she'd mentioned – she'd thought for a second Arnav was edgy after meeting Rajesh?right?until the two of them – had shrugged the thought off normally – assuming it to be something different all-together...

Hmmmm...what if there was more than what meets the eye?

Indeed, she had to confront her husband on this as soon as possible. She quickly made her way up to his study now – and entered in at the speed of light just sliding the door back shut which made Rajesh look up at her instantly as he was in the middle of opening his laptop and he asked smiling – " El...?you here? I thought you'd join the kids down in karioke??"

Ellie smiles at that half-hearted narrowing her gaze at him – " I will...Raj...but only after I talk to you....something's been bothering me all day...since morning actually...and...I really need to address it with you..."

That makes Rajesh ask puzzled closing his laptop back shut folding his arms on his desk giving her full attention as she walked to sit across of him this time – unlike taking his side next to where he sat - " what is it??my lovee??"

And because – Ellie didn't want to beat around the bush on it – she folded her arms across her front – she asked straight up – " what were you apologizing to Arnav about?at 6:20 am in the morning with so much tention and remorse all over your face??? And why did Arnav say something like – he didn't have it in him to forgive you for it just yet?? What's the it – context in here???? clearly...there's something here in between you two...that only you two know????"

And the very next second – she spots her husband pale in his face as white as a sheet at that – on reflex.As if...the ground had shoved itself beneath his feet?

And even though he tried to cover his expressions next – Ellie knew – her gut instinct was right.Surely, there was something here – she didn't know.....and she felt like she'd be dammed...if she didn't find out/get it out of her husband – right very now itself.

..............................

To say that the very second - Rajesh Maan had heard Ellie – ask him this upfront – shocked the hell out of his being would be a statement indeed.He'd surely paled in his face almost instantly he knew – given that his guilt had been so ever consuming off late anyway. He cursed himself for not having it in him to cover up instantly in expressions.

Clearly, Ellie had overheard part of his conversation with the boy this morning. The last bit of it...

He just had to distract her?

He covered up now shrugging – " huh?? I don't know what you talking about...El?? Me apologizing to Arnav? no..not at all..yes...we were outdoors having a chat earlier this morning...but it was something else...in context...not any apology/forgiveness talk at all..."

Ellie gapes at her husband in shock at that as she asks her patience being hit given that he'd freaking just lied to her face upfront on this – " excuse me?????did you just lie to me upfront..Raj? you just lied to me?? upfront? You never lie to me?? why are you lying right now? I know...what I heard alright???????? so you better get talking...what is this about???? What did you do that you wana apologize to him for?and why does he feel like he cannot forgive you...?????and why is so tense around you in private but relaxed and normal otherwise? I mean...he was all normal over breakfast..and even dinner..as I observed...but clearly those minutes earlier morning..when you two were chatting alone...was a different story in its tense vibe...."

Rajesh Maan dams himself in the moment at that. Why did he have to call the boy out for apology that way? Yes, because, guilt had been giving him sleepless nights anyway....

He sighs now too afraid that his cover had slipped in some way in front of Ellie – " El..listen to me...I am not lying..ok?? you clearly...misinterpreted our chat.."

The audacity of him to lie/cover up again – angered Ellie.She had Raj barely had any fights but when they did – it would be angry enough on both sides.And this makes Ellie snap at Raj her anger rising– " Rajesh Maan...don't you ever lie to my face again so bluntly.....don't you ever....you better tell me what this is about...you'v seen me angry...my temper is rising..now..and if you don't get talking...ill just have to stomp my way down and question Arnav myself..."

And Rajesh's eyes widen at that in vulenrable fear instantly and the words leave his mouth on reflex even before he could control it – " whattttt??????did you just say???? El? No no...no...you cannot question Arnav about this ever...and especially not in front of Khushi ...ever.....look...you cannot..bring this up in front of Arnav ever..."

Ellie was shocked and stunned at the shade of fear she spotted in her husbands eyes and now her own heart trembled in worry as she gaped at him – " Raj...I see fear in your eyes...vulnerable fear....and the last time I saw this fear in your eyes was when..we both...knew...we'd lose Rose...to her sickness...years ago...why is this fear in your eyes right now?? so strong??????? What have you done? That you so scared about me confronting Arnav with this?? Just what have you done???????clearly...you have done..something...clearly you have...done something...I don't know...,"And at that she gets up from her chair and leans forward placing both her hands angrily on his study – " talk now...Raj...talk now...my anger is rising...what is this context? What are you hiding???????why did you say?I must never bring this in front of Arnav – when Khushi is around??ever??? you talk now...or I will do just that...."

Rajesh Maan sighs now as he takes in the angry avatar of his wife.Well, he knew her enough to know she wouldn't let it go...and he knew in anger – she was also capable to confronting Arnav about this in front of Khushi.

What could he do??????

And that's when it hits him – perhaps this happened for a reason? Ellie overhearing some part of the conversation? So that he could finally share his guilt with her? The burden of it would lessen perhaps? And she'd surely understand..where he had been coming from then?? right? she'd surely understand his fear....but still he was in two thoughts on this..knowing this would anger her so much on him ....so he was thinking whether to tell her/not to...

He is right on that thought – when he sees her fold her arms across her front impatiently now and begins to tap her feet angrily – " Raj...I am waiting....fine...you won't talk...ill go find...Arnav...,"And at that when she actually turns around...after glaring at him...he says on reflex to stop her desperate – " no....no...Ellie...don't go..to Arnav...fine...ill tell you...ill only tell you...I made a mistake...ok?a grave mistake....long ago..very long ago...El...the one..I'v been repenting ever since...I made it...but it was too late to go back on it...then...for you could say the damage was done...anyway..."

And he sees Ellie turn back instantly to glare at him as she asks – "what mistake???????why apologize to Arnav?,"and her eyes widen more as she asks trembling in puzzlement – " wait...was this mistake on Arnav's accord???????"

The words leave his mouth on reflex at that as he sighs dejected – " more on Arnav+Khushi's accord...El..more on Arnav and Khushi's accord....,"And he hears Ellie ask trembling - " what do you mean Raj? For heavens sake..talk now..before I lose my freaking mind..at you..."

And he slumps down in his study chair dejected miles as he admits looking at Ellie's furious face – "back then....years ago...Arnav and Khushi's break up....Arnav actually didn't have anything to do with it...for his reasons ever...El...it was my doing....it was all my doing....i was disturbed...in worry for Khushi....when she asked to go meet the boy in Mumbai...whilst he was struggling so much there.....and I....I...called...him....and I may have said....some words....to him then....that......I just regret saying...today...."

ANGER.

SHEER.RAGE. AND MORE THAN THAT SHOCK ENGULFED ELLIE MAAN TO HER VERY CORE – AS SHE GAPED AT HER HUSBAND IN DISBELEIF.

She felt herself – Roar – at him in anger like she hadn't ever in her life as she asked shell shocked – " whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt??????????????????????????????what did you say ....Raj?????? what did you just say???????? Arnav and Khushi's break up then...was your doing?????????your doing??? What did you say to the boy on the call then??? Raj???????? Just what did you say??????and whyyyyyyy?????????????why????????????whyyy??when you knew...what Arnav meant to Khushi always....and whhhyyyyyy?did you keep this with you all this...whilst.....whyyyy????and watch...khushi ache??Then also you didn't tell her???and whyyyy did Arnav ever agree to butcher his own heart??? whhhyyyyy?just what did you say??????just what did you say?????"

Ellie felt like she couldn't help but control her rage in the moment, at all as she thought off Khushi.... Khushi – her dearest – Khushi – her little one who had healed her mother's broken heart – with her smile and love every day ever since coming into their lives.....

Rajesh gaped at Ellie in distress at that.Never before had he heard her roar at him in anger this way and he says instantly – "Ellie...calm down...will you...please?? calm down...just sit down...,"and he hands her the glass of water – " here have some water..sip on it...I will tell you...I will tell you...but please...you first sit down...and calm down..the kids are downstairs...Khushi is downstairs....please..."

Ellie glares at Rajesh as she roars again – " you are asking me to calm down???????? You are freaking asking me to calm down right now??????? No. Raj.No. I will not calm down..until you tell me everything now....right very now...."

And desperate to get her to stop raging now – Rajesh walks upto her from the side now and he says trying to get closer to her - " El..."

But Ellie stops him by the gesture of her hand her eyes now bloodshot in rage – " all these years....you saw...Khushi..ache...so much..all these years...we saw khushi ache...I talked about khushi's ache to you so much...and yet...you...you..."

Rajesh says desperately – " el...you go to understand...I was so scared of exactly this..,"he gestures to her angry frame – " I wasn't proud of my words...I erred...in ego...ok? I did....i wasn't proud of my actions...by the time I realised it...I knew...if you knew...or even khushi knew...you'd be so furious...I feared so much still fear seeing hate in Khushi's eyes for me...if she found out....ever...please understand...."

Ellie gaped and glared at him as she roared again in anger – " I want the truth...now...every bit of it...now...past..and present...with related to you and your actions around Arnav...."

And because – Rajesh knew he had no way out of this confrontation with Ellie atleast – he couldn't help but let the tears of guilt out of his eyes now – as he finally begin giving Ellie the truth...ashamed...totally ashamed of himself in the moment – as she continued to gape at him in shock + disgust+ disbelief as she listened.....

.............................................................

Ellie couldn't believe it. Ellie Maan felt like she couldn't just believe everything she'd just heard from her husband – right now. Hell, it felt like she didn't even ever imagine to come across this face of the man she'd loved all her life. How could he do this?How could he do this to Khushi????????????????? Her mother's heart broke and raged and ached.....

She'd heard every bit of the past and now as she was hearing him remorsefully narrate his actions to make amends with Arnav in the present- she felt like all the dots in her head finally connected on this accord as well....

Heavens.Goodness.Me...a part of her wife's heart desperately wanted to undo this confrontation....undo...the hearing off this truth...from Rajesh...why?Because...her mother's heart was totally overtaking in the moment.....itself...as her heart broke for Khushi..and for Arnav.....both.....

Oh to think the humiliation and the pain..the boy must have gone through...to think...that he actually agreed to butchering his heart along with Khushi's only because he fell for her husbands emotional backmail hinting towards Khushi's well being here...

Hell...she was freaking disgusting. Indeed, Ellie Maan found herself disgusted to her very core by listening to the truth from her husband – showcasing her – this ugly side of his disgusting mindgame – that had brought Khushi so much pain...brought Arnav so much pain....and to think...Khushi thought?Arnav had been in the wrong all this while????????????

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fair-righteous self in heart didn't have it in it to have Khushi believe that façade of a lie any longer and now as she hears Rajesh sigh in dejecting after finishing telling her it all she gaped at him – wiping her furious tears her own eyes bloodshot – " I don't believe this.....i just don't believe this...you disgust me on this accord...you disgust me...are you even the man I loved? You know how precious the peace of the heart is?given that we always had that in our bond...as man and wife...and yet you went and snatched that peace away from the one...we took in as our own daughter?????? How could you do this to Khushi?Raj? how could you??? Khushi will know...she will know...from me....right now...today itself...Khushi will know...the truth......I will tell her...."

Seeing disgust in Ellie's eyes for him – had broken him and butchered Rajesh Maan enough and to hear her say this now just made him plea to her in fear – " no....El...no...you don't mean that...right? Khushi cannot..know...please??? she cannot know...this will break her...she will hate me...why do you think...Arnav is still keeping it from her? He understands what this will do to her..."

Ellie scoffs at Raj in disgust as she roars back at him in anger – " the boys..intentions and love for Khushi I don't doubt for a second Raj...clearly he's keeping it to himself..so that Khushi doesn't get hurt in her daughters heart....I get that...but I don't have it in my heart to keep it in....I am her mother...I am her mother...Raj...she trusts me with her life....I cannot keep such a big thing from her...ever...and she trusted you too...Raj..she trusted you too...our little girl...she trusted us when she called us Mum and Daddy...she trusted you with her heart when she called...you daddy...and you..broke her...heart...you broke her dreams...you watched her...ache for years...not one...two..but seven long years...and you never owned up the truth...yourself...if I hadn't overheard...and threatened you with confronting Arnav...you wouldn't have...ever...come out with it....no way...I am keeping it from Khushi...she will know...she will know...now...itself...I am going down...I am going to tell her....,"and she turns around to get out of his study at that.

Rajesh holds her by the hand as he pleas puliing her back into his frame – "Ell....no...please? don't make this blunder in anger...El...don't...it will destroy our family...it will destroy us...Khushi will never want to see my face again....please.....for gods sake..she might just leave home...for good...is that what you want???,"and that from him – does freeze Ellie in her frame momentarily as she glares at her husband all furious....her being consumed in anger and so much ...ache...so much ache....

But her mother's heart won over as she roared at her husband again – getting his hands off her arms – " no...no word game of yours will work in moment...Raj...no...Khushi..will know...she will know..now...I will tell her...I cannot keep this from her...at all...over my dead freaking body..."

...........................

What the Hellll?????????? Is happeneing???? Khushi thought.She'd come to her room – briefly to get the poker game set as after finishing on the karioke fun – everyone was gearing up for playing some – poker.And just when she'd stepped onto her floor and was heading to her room - for the first time – ever – in years – she could hear loud fighting voices coming from her father's study. Her parents were fighting about something-bad. That much she figured...but what was this about? She wondered. Her parents never fought. They were the couple – who rarely fought....

Why was her Mum roaring at Daddy that way?? Whyy? Perhaps – it was on her to intervene and calm them down?whatever the matter was??

Curiosity + worry for the two had guided her steps nearer to her father's study now and she herself froze in shock as she heard the last couple of her mother's angry sentences claiming something like – "no...no word game of yours will work in moment...Raj...no...Khushi..will know...she will know..now...I will tell her...I cannot keep this from her...at all...over my dead freaking body..."

WHATTTTTTTTTT? THE HELL?WAS THIS ABOUT??

CLEARLY – ABOUT SOMETHING – SHE DIDN'T KNOW?AND HER MUM WANTED HER TO KNOW THIS INSTANT?

WAIT.

WERE THE TWO FIGHTING OVER HER?????????

She takes a deep breathe now and decides to intervene – worry engulfing all of her as she yanked the sliding door to her father's study open just then and stepped in – just then as she gaped at the two – " Mum...Daddyyy?? Whats all this crazy loud fighting about??? Are you two fighting over me??????? why??????Mum...what do you mean by what you just said??that I must know this from you..what must I know from you...what can't you keep from me...over your dead body??,"And she sighs distressed her own eyes now wet as she takes in the disturbed sight of both her parents – " why would you even use the words...dead body...Mum...you know I have already lost my mother once...both my parents...once...please...never use those words in your context ever again....please??? will any of you tell me...whats going on in here???????? please??????"

CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

HOLY CRAP.

Rajesh Maan pales in his freaking being at that as he spots Khushi come in and ask them that so freaking disturbed in his frame. Ellie maan pales too – because as much as she was set in her mind to tell Khushi – the truth – she didn't expect Khushi to walk in on them in the moment.

But in a way – good – Ellie Thought? That good – Khushi came in??

Wiping her angry tears, furiously glaring at her husband who was statued in distress and fear to his spot in shock at the sight of Khushi – just his eyes pleaing her not to say anything – Ellie says to Khushi now – " great...Khushi...great..that you are here...come on here...and hear this out...I was going to come find you anyway...."

That makes Rajesh finally hold Ellie by her hand again as he roars in plea this time around – " Ellie...stop...please...just stop...you cannot...you just cannot..."

And Ellie glares at her husband as she says furiously – " I will...Raj...I will....I told you I do not have it in my mothers heart to keep this from Khushi....can't believe you hid this from us/from Khushi for years...I am digusted Raj...I am disgusted..."

And as Khushi watches – this scene in between her parents she looks to and fro in between the two all distressed and worried and nervous as she roars herself now asking out loud – " stop..........stop........will the two of you just stop all this shouting at one another?and tell me...what's going on???? Please??? just tell me what's going on..,"and she gapes at her Daddy and asks in plea – " daddy..what have you hidden from us?from me?for years?? Please tell me...,"And as she watches tears of fear leave her fathers eyes at that – she gapes at her Mum distressed – " Mum...please....talk....please...tell me..what this is about...I can't see you two coming at each other this way...I just cannot...for I never have....in all this while...and to know...you two are fighting this way over something related to me...just kills me...more....please...tell me..what this is about...,"and she gapes at the two – with tears streaming down her face and she pleas to them desperately again to just tell her what this was about....

Rajesh Maan stands frozen in Fear. Ellie Maan stands determined to set the truth free and Khushi Maan stands – looking at the two – desparate and distressed – as the vibe in the study goes super intense and confrontational.

Rajesh Maan looks at Ellie in plea again...but the look in Ellie eye's ass he shook her head and gaped at him in diebeleif still - told him – that she was going to do it...

She was going to tell – Khushi the truth. And even though, she hadn't started talking yet but just walked up to hug a crying Khushi to herself first – anyway...

Rajesh Maan knew...

Knew what? That these next moments would be the doom – for his father's heart....Indeed.Brought upon him by the person he least expected too....

His own beloved wife....

...............................

How was that guys?????????? Did any of you anticipate the truth to come out this way in front of Khushi?Straight from Ellie – herself? Well, ofcourse, Ellie is going to tell her about it all. She's just felt so much motherly emotion for Khushi in its deepest sense ever since they took her + with them being super close – that she just cannot keep it in. Plus also because she thinks – its only right + fair - as well....

Next Update – Will come in on Monday Night.
