Chapter 68: Chapter 68

Author's P.O.V.

Preety was thinking inside what was happening out there between Arhaan and Khushi. Being all worried when she got outside after a while, she got shocked.

But soon the expression on her face got changed and a smile crept on her lips. All smilingly she got inside not bothering to disturb them.

Seeing her like that, her mother spoke up, “What’s the matter, dear?”

While shaking her head, Preety got uttering, “It’s nothing like that Ammi. I am just happy.”

Hearing her, her mother also got smiling and then turned to the entrance and spoke up, “Where is Khushi? Wasn’t she outside with you?”

Preety spoke up smilingly then, “She is with Vai.”

Hearing her, her gave her a confused look only to get her uttering, “Her husband.”

Her mother spoke up immediately, “What? Her husband came and you have kept them standing outside. What's this, Preety!”

Saying this, her mother was about to take steps towards the entrance but Preety spoke up, “Ammi ammi..you stay here. I am going to call them.” and got outside again.

Arhaan and Khushi were still in the same position. But this time Preety got near them while coughing only to get them come back to reality and let go of each other immediately.

Glancing at Arhaan for once, all smilingly Preety hugged Khushi and uttered, “I am so happy for you.”

Khushi also hugged her back with a smile. When she let go of Khushi, Arhaan got uttering, “Khushi, will you go with me now or want to stay here?”

Before Khushi could say something, Preety got uttering, “Vai, at first come inside our house.”

Arhaan tried to say otherwise, “No, Preety. I need to” only to get stopped as Preety’s mother got there and spoke up, “Son, Khushi is like a daughter to me. Then you are my son-in-law. I can't let you leave like this.”

With a little bit of smile Arhaan spoke up, “Aunty, I will visit you next time for sure but” but interrupting him in between, Preety’s mother spoke up again, “Make sure you do that but you have to come in this time too. You can't leave like this. After all you have come here for the first time.”

Right then Preety’s father got there. Like his wife when he also started insisting, Arhaan couldn’t make it to leave rather got inside the house with them.

They made Arhaan sit in the living room and Preety’s mother got into the kitchen. Khushi and Preety also forwarded to help her.

Preety’s father was with Arhaan. But getting a call when he got away, Preety got there with a cup of coffee and some snacks. Giving that to Arhaan, she also sat with him.

When she uttered, “Vai, I am really happy for you two. I wish you two always be together and happy like this.”, Arhaan smiled at her after glancing at Khushi for once.

Then thinking of Abeer, he spoke up, “Preety, if you don’t mind, can I say something to you?”

Hearing him, Preety nodded only to get silent when Arhaan uttered, “Preety, Abeer is not a bad guy. I have known him since childhood. You know he was always open minded and friendly to everybody. But except you, I have never seen him following any girl before. He really likes you. He is from a good family also. I will never tell you to accept him though. It's your life and you have full right to take decision about it. But please give it a thought.”

Without uttering anything, Preety just nodded at Arhaan. Right then Preety’s father got back and Preety got back to the kitchen.

Arhaan's P.O.V.

After breakfast, uncle left for office. Taking leave from them, I got outside their house and Khushi followed me out.

Though Khushi was asking for coming with me, I told her to stay with Preety to know her decision.

After all this incidents, I couldn’t just let Abeer hang in there. I knew Abeer would never try to meet Preety now as we were against it but I could feel that the idiot has really fallen for Preety.

So knowing all this, I couldn’t just left the matter like this.

Taking leave from her, I was about to enter into my car but got stopped seeing Lavanya entering the building.

Spotting us, she got near and uttered, “Khushi, I want to talk to you.”

I uttered while glaring at her, “About what?”

Glancing at me, she uttered, “Let me talk to Khushi, Arhaan. You please don’t come between us.”

I was about to utter something again but before that Lavanya got uttering, “Khushi, I can’t believe, you can take me as that type of girl to snatch someone’s husband. Didn’t you know me? The way I was? When I said that I love Arhaan, weren’t you supposed to say that he is your husband now?”

Khushi got uttering that was so likely of her, “I am sorry.”

Lavanya got uttering again, “Listen, I agree, I loved Arhaan but it was always one sided. He was always a rude jerk to me.”

Being unable to handle it, I spoke up while glaring at her, “What did you say?”

To my utter surprise, she spoke up looking at me, “The truth.”

Then she again turned to Khushi and spoke up, “Anyways I loved him. You heard me, right? Loved him. But not anymore. I mean why will I love a married guy! It’s not my thing.”

Khushi and me both kept staring at her being confused and then glancing at us, she spoke up, “I am really happy for you two. Arhaan really loves you Khushi and I know you too love him. May Allah bless you and always keep you happy together.”

Saying this, she hugged Khushi and then taking leave from us, she left from there.

Right then Preety got outside. Leaving Khushi with her, I forwarded towards the hospital. Remembering Khushi's word, I kept smiling all the way.

When I got back to hospital, Abeer was saying something to Mahin. But as soon as I entered, he got silent.

Mahin spoke up then, “What happened? What did Khushi vabi say?”

Before I could say something, Abeer spoke up, “Do you even need to ask it? Aren’t you seeing his all smiling face! It’s obvious that the love birds got cleared their all misunderstandings.”

Hearing him, Mahin smiled but when Abeer again uttered, “Mahin please”, Mahin looked away.

Looking at their expression, I spoke up, “What’s the matter?”

Mahin spoke up, “This idiot wants to get back home.” only to get me utter looking at Abeer, “Abeer, the doctor told you to take complete rest for 1 week.”

He spoke up like a kid looking everywhere except us, “Like I am asking for playing cricket or something! Can't I take that rest of one week at home?”

Seeing his expression, I smiled a little and looked at Mahin who was looking at Abeer making all annoyed face as he uttered, “Drama Queen!”

I spoke up then, “Okay. Let’s take him home.” only to get him utter, “Really?”

When I looked at him, he spoke up all smilingly, “Thank you.”

Completing the formalities, we took Abeer home. He was quite fine now but whenever he was alone, he was looking all sad.

Seeing that, Mahin got near me and got uttering, “Arhaan, have you noticed Abeer? Don’t you think we should do something for the idiot?”

Looking at Mahin, I spoke up, “Mahin, I have talked to Preety and Khushi is also there to talk to her. But we can’t force Preety, yaar.”

Nodding at me, Mahin spoke up, “That’s true.”

Right then my phone rang off. Seeing the caller ID, I immediately answered the call. The call was alone enough to get me smile but here was a great news along with that which made me smile heartily.

I gave Mahin a look which was enough for him to understand what I meant.

Cutting off the line, I forwarded to go to Abeer but Mahin stopped me and we got downstairs to talk to uncle and aunty.

Hearing us, they agreed and we got back to Abeer’s room.

After sometime uncle and aunty entered the room. Glancing at us, they got near Abeer and uncle uttered all seriously, “Abeer, I have chosen a girl for you.”

Abeer’s P.O.V.

From the time I woke up, I kept trying to leave hospital as I just can't take the place. But Mahin, my dear friend kept behaving like he was in love with hospital and was against my wish.

But finally Arhaan from whom I didn’t expect, supported me and I got back home from that scary place.

But after sometime Ammi and abbu entered my room and all of a sudden abbu spoke up, “Abeer, I have chosen a girl for you!”

Hearing that, I almost fell from the sky.

I mean what’s going on!

Was it supposed to be a joke!

I looked at Abbu only to get he was quite serious. I tried to utter something but without bothering to hear my answer, they got out of the room.

I was left in the room with Arhaan and Mahin. When I got uttering, “I don't want to get married.”

Mahin spoke up, “Why? Are you planning on stalking again” but interrupting him in between I spoke up, “Mahin, please. I promised you that I will never do that again then I won’t. Will you just believe me, please?”

Mahin got silent then and looked aside. I was asking some support but it was like these two idiots were giving helping hands to my parents about whom I am pretty sure have gone crazy.

I mean how could parents think something like this on such a situation!

Here I am on bed being injured and my parents are going on with the planning of my marriage!

While thinking this, I got all worked up and uttered, “I have just gotten back from hospital and not even fully recovered. And here my marriage is getting planned. Just amazing!”

Hearing me, Arhaan and Mahin got smiling.

I was getting angry on them. They got supporting Preety but they didn't even bother to know my feelings.

I know I promised Mahin and it wasn't like I was thinking of breaking it but still I need some time to get over her.

I seriously love her. Why these two idiots don't understand that!

I got uttering turning to Arhaan at some point, “Arhaan, as I don’t think you will be able to think some other girls with you except Khushi Vabi, I thought you will understand me now at least. But I guess I was wrong.”

Arhaan got silent for some moments and then spoke up pointing at Mahin and him, “You think, we don’t understand you?”

I got uttering then, “Then talk to Abbu that I don’t want to get married.”

Arhaan and Mahin glanced at each other and then got uttering together, “What if the girl is Preety?”

I just managed to utter, “What?!” being all shocked and confused...
