Chap-3 His Protective Arms
*Arnav*
It had been 3 days but his wound was still not recovered. This was not the first time that he got injured. He had been to this hell all his life, sometimes very serious. The special thing about this wound was Khushi though. Whenever he looked at that wound, her pure white angelic face came in front of his eyes. She was precisely the first girl whom he wanted to meet again. The way she helped him in persistent rain, without worrying about her own self, without caring about her life made a special place for her in his heart. He couldnt take off her face from his mind, and may be heart which he thought he doesnt have .
*Khushi*
It was her third day to office today. Life was finally coming back on track. She was able to forget those wretched images of her past and concentrated on her work but the only constant thing that cling to her mind was that guy.
"Arnav" this was what he said his name is. She wanted to know if he had been fine. She wanted to know if his wound recovered but there was no way she could.
There was something about him. His eyes were deep, Too deep to notice what is stored in them but they stored volumes in them.
Days passed, weeks passed.
It was finally a month since Khushi joined the office. The month had been great. She worked hard day and night. Her hardwork and dedication didnt got unnoticed by the staff and the senior authorities of the office. She was praised by everyone.
Khushi already decided to visit the temple after office to pay token of tribute and thanks for the blessing of her devi maiyya.
It was 7 p.m and she was a bit late. She went to the temple and after completing all her prayers she proceeded to move towards her house. As soon as she reaced the road, she heard some strange laughing sounds. It was already dark and the road was almost empty. She tried to figure out where was the sound coming from .. as soon as she reached the middle of the road, she saw a bunch of 4 cheap roadside boys who were drinking and laughing cracking some jokes. As soon as they saw Khushi, their eyes grew big. Khushi could feel herself in the grave of fear already. Those guys were hardly in their senses and the way they checked her out made her uncomfortable. They said something to each other and started laughing. Khushi could feel that they said something filthy and obscene about her. She passed by them with as long steps as she could take but the next moment she heard them running behind her and finally she was struggling in their clutches. One of them hold her hand while the other one was holding her from her waist. He was trying to throw himself on her. Khushi was constantly shouting for help but there was not even a single man around.
Khushi felt as if her life is gone, her dignity, her pride everything will end today. She cried bitterly closing her eyes in their arms when suddenly she felt her heart pounding against her chest. She could feel him around.
And the moment she opened her eyes, she saw him. That same face, those eyes, that captivating physique.
*Arnav*
It had been a month but he could not find her. Wherever he went for work he always kept his vision sense strong with a hope to track her again but he never did. He didnt knew why but today his heart told him that he would meet her. His heart was asking him to visit the same place where he met her for the first time. He tried to chide away the thought from his mind but his heart constantly asked him to visit the temple area.
He was waiting from about 2 hours. He didnt believed in god but he waited for her near by the temple, on the same road where they met. After waiting for hours when he lost the hope to meet her, he decided to proceed to his house.
He was moving slowly when he heard some faint but familiar voice. He sensed her, this was her voice.. she was somewhere near.
Arnav ran towards the direction of the voice and he saw her struggling in the arms of those bastards. His blood boiled watching her trapped in their clutches. How dare they touch her? He saw her closed eyes. She was scared as hell and then she opened her eyes. She saw him, their eyes met. He clenched his fist and the next moment he punched them all. He kept punching them continuously, all of them were running for their lives but he was blind with rage. He was constantly beating them up and he heard Khushi crying "Plz stop Arnavv... they will die... stop ... plz ... Arnav !!! "And he stopped.
*Khushi*
She saw him beating them up with blind rage. He was beaten back, his lips were bleeding. His forehead was bleeding but he didnt stopped. She didnt know how to stop him. Suddenly she requested him to stop and to her suprise he did.
*Arnav*
He stopped and turned back to see her. She was looking so flushed. Her face has gone red due to crying. Her arms were strached and blood was oozing out from them. Her sleeves and kurti were torn due to struggle. He couldn't think anything else and just hugged her tightly. He could not see her in that condition. He wrapped his hands around her arms and took her into his protective embrace completely. He wanted her to know that she was safe, there was no threat near her, he tried to console her.
*Khushi*
She was feeling scared. This was the first time she encountered such instance in her life. She didnt know how to react but she cried and cried. She couldnt imagine what would have happened if Arnav hadn't been there with her.
She felt him hugging her tighly and reciprocated to the hug. She wanted to feel that there was someone who is there to protect her, to make her feel safe. and she actually felt that sense of warmth in his arms. She didnt knew why but it felt as if he was there to take away all her pain and fears.
THEY DIDNT KNOW FOR HOW LONG THEY KEPT STANDING IN THE SAME POSITION.
SUDDENLY SOME DROPLETS OF WATER TOUCHED THEIR FACE. IT STARTED RAINING HEAVILY.
THIS WAS THEIR SECOND MEETING AND YET AGAIN IT RAINED WHEN THEY MET.
ARNAV AND KHUSHI FELT SO LIGHT UNDER THE RAINING SKY. IT FELT AS IF THE RAIN WASHED AWAY ALL THEIR PAIN AND THE ONLY THING WHICH SHINED BRIGHT UNDER THE SPARKLING MOON LIGHT WAS THEIR FACES WITH CONTENT.
ARNAV DIDNT KNEW WHEN HIS HANDS SLIPPED TO HER WAIST FROM HER ARMS. HER THIN LITTLE WAIST WAS THE CUTEST THING ABOUT HER. HE DIDNT FELT LIKE REMOVING HIS HANDS FROM HER WAIST. SHE WAS FEELING THE SAME, SHE DIDNT WANTED HIM TO LEAVE HER.
ARNAV SLOWLY OPENED HIS EYES TO SEE HER LOOKING BACK AT HER. HER FACE LOOKED AS PURE AND ANGELIC AS A FAIRY. THE TEARS WERE NOW REPLACED BY THE WATER DROPLETS.
ARNAV FELT HER LIPS CURVING INTO A MILD SMILE. HE SMILED BACK. SUDDENLY THEY FELT A CAR COMING FROM BEHIND, HONKING LIKE MANIACS AND IT WAS ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BRING THEM OUT IN THE REAL WORLD.
*Khushi*
The loud noise of the car brought her back to reality and she felt embarrassed. The way they were hugging each other made her face blush with crimson red. She cursed herself for being so blindly engrossed in his brown eyes. Suddenly she left his arms and looked down as if signalling him to leave her.
*Arnav*
Arnav was able to see her red blushing face. She looked as cute as a new born baby. He didnt felt like leaving her but when he saw her eyes looking down he finally left her. She was looking fine now. Are you okay Khushi? He asked in a worried tone.
She nodded and said " I m fine Arnav, I dont know how to thank you enough for helping me. I dont know what all would have happened had you not been there." tears again pooled up in her eyes.
"Nothing would have happened to you Khushi, And nothing ever will happen to you. I wont let anything wrong happen. I cant tell you what have you done for me. I will make sure that I repay back that favor to you whenever you need me"
Arnav assured her and she felt happy tears escaping her eyes.
"Now Let me leave you till your home, its not safe here" he said.
She nodded positively and they moved.
Precap : Khushi to go Mumbai.
