Dil Kho Gaya: Epilogue

He inhaled the sweet feminine scent of her body which was now struggling underneath him to hide herself. She kept her hands on his chest to prevent his rock hard chest from colliding with her soft bosoms. He grabbed her long slender arms which were behaving like an obstacle from loving her, and pinned them to the couch.

He started traced a sensuous path down her jawline to the cleavage which was seducing him ever since he saw her in the saree. He hid his face in her bosoms and placed a wet, long lingering kiss there making her arch in unknown pleasure. Khushi didn't want him to stop but there was something forbidden about this entire thing and her heart knew about it.

As Khushi was anticipating further ministrations on her body, Arnav rose from her and stood beside her. Sensing the lose of weight above her, Khushi opened those eyes which were closed to absorb the waves of pleasure in her. As she opened her eyes, she saw Arnav with crossed arms on his chest eyeing at her with desire filled eyes.

Khushi was in a shock that she actually wanted him to make love to her. Khushi immediately looked away from him and tried to cover herself up with the pallu which laid forgotten.

" If wanted, I would have completed what I have started and I know you wouldn't stop me as you want it to happen as much as I want it to. But I know where my limits lie, Khushi. You asked me to do something, my heart would never accept yet respecting you and your words I accepted it. But now when I can ask you anything I want, my heart is stopping me from asking anything which might hurt you and your morals. You know why it is so, Khushi?" asked Arnav, in a voice which was tired, tired of sacrificing and naming those sacrifices as love. 

Sensing the silence which was in the air, Arnav started speaking yet again.

" It is because, I love you Khushi. I love you so much that I want to take all your sorrows to myself and give you all my happiness. I love you so much that I can neither live without you nor can I die without you. I love you so much that every breath, every cell, every thought of mine has your name etched on it. But I also know that you too have the same feelings for me, which you hid in the name of sisterly love. 

Was your love and confidence so weak that you gave up before even trying?" asked Arnav, while Khushi  could only feel her cheeks becoming wet due to the tears which were flowing due to intense love of Arnav for her.

" I am sorry, Arnav." said Khushi in low whisper, in a shaky voice.

" No Khushi, don't be so. I am sorry to not love Lavanya. I am sorry to threaten you. I am sorry for forcing my love on you.  But I am definitely not sorry to love you. I am sorry to force you like this. Leave, Khushi. You are free to go and this time I will not stop you." said Arnav, as he felt he was forcing his love on her as she was crying hysterically.

He turned around to leave but had to stop on mid-path as Khushi hugged him from behind stopping him from creating a distance between them yet again.

" I love you, Arnav. More than you can think." said Khushi, in a low voice.

Tears were there in both the pairs of eyes but this time they were not the tears of pain, they were the tears of ecstasy and bliss of love. Arnav held her hands and turned himself around before engulfing her into a tight hug  to join all those pieces of heart which were broken.

Arnav went down on his knees after pulling out of his hug, held her hand in his and asked,

" Kya Tum Apni Life..."

" Sirf Tumhare Saath Bitana Chahti hoon!" replied Khushi, even before Arnav could complete his question to her. Khushi made Arnav stand up on his feet yet again and hugged him tightly after placing a light peck on his lips.

He pulled himself out of the hug, and dug out a velvet-covered box from his pocket. He held his left hand in his and secured the solitaire diamond ring on the ring finger, connecting their hearts for the lifetime.

Khushi felt a certain intense warmth developing in her heart seeing Arnav's love for her and threw herself into his arms.Arnav reciprocated the hug with same fervor and passion.

Suddenly a thought disrupted the beautiful feelings of Khushi. Staying in his arms she asked,

" What about Lavanya and Karan?"

" Lavanya had committed the mistake of brainwashing you once in your amnesiac condition and Karan did a crime of spiking your drink, which we found out from the CCTV footage. Lavanya will never get a job again in India, as she has been permanently transferred to US. And Karan in behind the bars now and even when he comes out there would be nothing left for him as AR has bagged all the deals of Singhanias." said Arnav, in loving voice.

He pulled out of the hug and placed a kiss of assurance on her forehead, while she closed her eyes losing herself in the moment of love.

It was not that there would be no problems in their life from now on, it was the assurance and the hope that they will have each other in every phase of life, It was the belief that their love would be their strength in their hard times which would make even hurdles, stepping stones of success.

However difficult the situation is, love is what gives us strength and love is what that prevails. And it was proven yet again.
