Hey guys, I know I said that the story was ending in a week or less but I fell ill so I haven't had time to write anything. But today I was feeling a lot better so I wrote 2 chapters because all of you guys were nice enough not to rush me. Enjoy :)

Chapter 32: The Big Question

 

As soon as Khushi left Anjili’s room, she headed towards Arnav’s room. She entered keeping her head down and without looking around, headed to the poolside.  Arnav, who had also been out beside the poolside, saw her come in a sit beside the pool. He approached her and sat down beside her.

 

“Arnavji I was thinking…” Khushi started of.

 

Arnav chuckled and nudged her. “That’s never good.”

 

“I’m serious Arnavji.”

 

“Ok, tell me what you were thinking.”

 

“I was thinking that we should delay our wedding.”

 

Arnav looked into her eyes and saw the seriousness.

 

He sighed. “I was thinking the same thing. But just until Di’s ok.”

 

“Yes, I mean I wouldn’t want a constant reminder of my husband’s infidelity.”

 

“This is why I’m going to make sure that Shyam rots in jail for a very long time.”

 

“Ok, you tell your family and I’ll tell mine.”

 

There was a pause as the unasked question hung in the air like a guillotine. No one wanted to ask it but they knew that they had to.

 

Khushi was the first one to break the silence. “Arnavji, what if Di doesn’t want me to be a part of this family because of everything that has happened.”

 

Arnav brought her close. “Hopefully that won’t happen. In any case, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”

 

It wasn’t really reassuring but it was all they had. They clung on to each other, not wanting to let go because they just needed each others warmth before facing reality again.
