THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE-
Retelling IPKKND
TEASER for Chapter 12
Arnav cornered in one of
the empty rooms and pinned her on the nearby wall, to dismiss any unwanted
reaction. He leaned forward and slowly raised his hand to tuck a hair behind her
ear and watched apprehensively to note her reaction.
On the other hand, Khushi
flinched her head sideways, too tensed to react, "Hum kuch kahte nahi, iska ye
matlab nahi ki aapka jo mann kare, aap wo kar sakte hai"
(If I don't say anything,
it doesn't mean you can do anything you wish to)
Regret and pain registered in Arnav's dark eyes as his gaze linked
with hers, but he didn't say anything.
And just like that, the moments from long ago, crept into his
conscious mind. One-by-one- Fragments. Flashes. A sound. A touch. Moments too dreamlike
to bear.
He remembered her now. She'd lost her way and landed into to his
bedroom.
"Five years and three months", he stated with slow deliberation.
"Give or take a few days", she agreed, her tone one of dismissal.
"I didn't recognize you at first"
Her eyes mocked him, knowing he was remembering a graceless girl
who had willingly gone to his arms with a little cry...one who bore little similarity
to the slim elegance of today's designer.
"You haven't changed", she stated coldly, remembering the hurt from
long ago.
"Your eyes are the same", he sighed in exhaustion and his one hand
rubbed briefly at a slight scar on the top of his left eye. His eyelids closed
and he pinched them between finger and thumb before opening them again, "God
knows I've never forgotten those eyes Khushi", he muttered.
