Khushi and naina reached the office, it was sharp 6, and the
three of them reached the terrace, as the helicopter landed down, they stood in
the side lines, naina was so fascinated by the whole thing she was smiling and
smiling away, it was time to leave anjili and akash said by to arnav and peter
hugged khushi and gave naina a good bye kiss, khushi and naina then said by to
anjili and akash and they made their way to the helicopter, as the door shut, the
pilot began to lift of the air and slowly they went higher, and got out the
building and made their way to the open sky, arnav was as usual fiddling with
his I phone while khushi was just looking around aimlessly, and naina was
fascinated by looking out of the window
Naina: mom look look we can see our house (the little girl
howled in excitement, then she turned to her unicorn lifted it up to the glass
window and pretended to show him) look mr frosty we can see our house
Khushi smiled at her and then pulled a jumping naina back to
her seat, she then put her hair behind her ears and made her sit straight, she
handed a milk carton which had chocolate milk in it, naina was sipping her
chocolate milk through the straw and was as happy as ever,
Now for people near arnav sign raizada, it would appear that
he never cared about what was happening around him, as he was busy on his
phone, but only he knew he did, he lifted his eyes to naina when she was
talking to khushi, he witnessed her making naina sit straight and taking care
of her, the mother daughter bond was visible and any one could see what a
caring mother khushi was, which surprised him, she was so young ,girls her age
would struggle with kids, and doing it alone was more tuff, but she handled it
quite well,
It was around 10:00 when they reached Barbados, the
helicopter landed outside the beach house and the pilot open the door for
arnav, as he stepped out, he didn't bother to give khushi a hand as he wanted
to prove to her that all this was her fault, she didn't care, she never wanted
his importance, she got down and then
helped naina down, then arnav khushi and naina walked towards the beach house,
it was a huge cottage, situated on Crane Beach, there was a patio which headed
towards sea, as the waves washed in under the platform, it seemed very
romantic, one would often picture coming her with a husband or a lover but
khushi was hear with her menaces arnav, which was going to be a night mare, as
they entered in, arnav took khushi to her and naina's room, and then headed off
to his room, arnav told them that the house had not been stacked up so they
would order food from out, as he left, she opened her suitcase and started to
remove naina's night suite and hers, she sent naina in for a bath, and while she waited for her she organized
the cupboards, once naina finished khushi hoped into the shower,
In arnav's room, he removed his shirt and his muscular body
was visible, he then went in for a shower and then seated himself into the
recliner in front of his laptop, dinner was ordered and delived already, it was
around 10:30 pm, and arnav knocked on khushi's door, naina opened it, arnav saw
her and then asked
Arnav: where is your mother
Naina: mom has gone for a shower she will eb out in 10 mins
Arnav: well tell her dinner has come and its on the table
In the mean time khushi came out, arnav was about to leave
when khushi came at the door, as he saw her he couldn't take his eyes of her,
she was in a white salwar kameez her dupata was on one shoulder, leaving the
cleavage of the other shoulder visible, she had no makeup and was looking as
simple as ever, she stood in front of him and then asked what he wanted, he
informed her that dinner had come, the three of them walked to the dining
table, khushi got busy into serving as naina climbed onto the chair and sat,
arnav got the plates out, they all seated and had their dinner , there was pin
drop silence, not a word from any of their mouths, khushi could not stand so
much silence, but she put up with it, naina was too confused as to what was
happening and arnavwas just feeling plain awkward, once dinner finished, khushi
cleaned the plates and put them in place, she handed arnav his tablets, which
after a solid argument like usual he took them, then she put naina to bed, and
then headed out to the patio, she sat on the heightened platform and saw how
the waves pulled back and forth from the sand, she sat there quietly and gazed
at the stars remembering her parents and her sister, who left her and became stars,
it was around 3:00 am and arnav had come out to make his cup of coffee, when he
passed by the hall, through the windows he saw her sitting all alone, her back
was faced towards him and her hair was flying with the wind, he approached
towards the glass door, slid it open to have a closer look, she heard him come
and was alert that he was there, he came with his coffee mug and sat next to
her on the patio,
Arnav: (in a soft voice he said) khushi
Khushi: (still looking at the stars) its funny how they say
that your loved ones become stars
Arnav looked confused, and then realized she was missing
someone who was dead,
Khushi: do you belive in all this arnav sir
Arnav:(remembering his mother) no I don't
Khushi: ya I thought as much
Arnav: you believe in all this
Khushi: ya off corse (she pointed at a cluster of sparkling
dots) there, that's my family
Arnav: (looked up at the cluster and was shocked, that so
many people had left her and gone) khushi
Khushi: hmm,
Arnav: (he knew she was missing them and the right thing to
do was to console her, but how could he, he himself was damaged as far as
people leaving him were concerned, so he just decided to stay away from it and
said) I am going to bed, (he got up and left, leaving khushi there with a
confused look
