Arnav said “ yes doctor sure, but before that I want to tell you something, recent times for her have been very stressful for her both in terms of mental state as well as physically too. I had a family turmoil in last few days and my house has gone through a tense time and Khushi being most affected. And a few days back she was manhandled by some goons too , and she fell down a cliff and had almost chocked to death but then I was able to revive her back, I want you to ensure that you check her for injuries and now tell me what you want to say.”

The doctor continued and said “Arnav , her recent reports indicate no injuries thankfully. So you can take a sigh of relief. Though her stress levels are slightly high, but not much. Since now everything is ok at your home, they will come down. And more positive news is that she very lucky that her cancer cysts have not grown in size & number and have not spread further and it is good that the cancer is still dormant and not affecting her other vitals yet thus I think we should not wait any further. There are several things I want you to brief about but before that I want to ask you. what your annual income is?” Arnav was surprised at her question but rather than getting angry at her stupid question he answered “50 crores may be…..but I unable to understand why you ask so?” the doctor was surprised and said “ I just asked because I wanted to know if you could afford her treatment or not because this is one of the costliest treatment in the world and the medicines too are very expensive. But are you sure about your income?”(a long pause) Arnav now got angry and snapped “just to let you know that I am Arnav Singh Raizada, CEO of AR Designs , an international fashion brand and Khushi is my wife.” He glared at the doctor and the doctor calmed and said “sorry, I could not recognise you ASR , the youngest business tycoon. I am sorry. Let’s continue, the cost of the treatment including post and pre procedures shall be around some 3 crores including medicines and since money is not a problem for you I suggest you to take Khushi to London, there is the best liver hospital with best doctors and best treatment facilities, she will be in safer hands and since her case is just in initial stages, her recovery after treatment would be faster. I will provide you with a reference and I will send her detailed report immediately to them, so that they will not have to waste any time and can immediately start her treatment.” Arnav heard her with absolute attention and then said “Do that immediately and when can I fly her to London?” the doctor replied “may be in next 4 or 5 days, don’t worry her health would not fumble, her state is not delicate. I will sent her details immediately and contact you with the details tomorrow morning. And if you want I can brief you about the treatment so that you can mentally prepare Khushi for the treatment.” Arnav nodded her to continue “They shall conduct some tests on her and then arrange for her blood and medicines that will best suite her. Khushi’s body will be stabilised for operation for 2 or 3 days and then she would be operated upon. The small portion of her liver affected with cancer and containing cyst will be removed. Don’t worry the human liver has the ability to grow back. In some cases the whole liver grows back from a small portion of donar liver. And khushi has her own liver intact and hence her recovery shall be faster than the normal cases. And often in general cases it is seen the patient recovers completely in 2 or 3 months and can continue his life again back normally with absolutely no problems.” Arnav though was scared of the operation bit but the fact that she shall recover gave him peace and with courage he asked with a trembling voice “Is there any risk involved doctor?” the doctor smiled and said “we try our best Arnav and rest is god’s grace. The risk in her case is less and the procedure of operation is quite safe. Only the small risk involved is that sometimes the lady patients are not able to conceive after that. But I hope her life is more valuable for you. But it happens very rarely and you should remain positive.” The doctor ended as her phone rang and she received it and Arnav was about to get up when she disconnected and said “Khushi is gaining conscious , you can meet her in few minutes but before that I would like to tell you something”

Arnav nodded and she said “the greatest healing power in the world is love, your wife is going through a tough time and she shall draw strength from you and its essential that you remain strong for her and remain positive, keep her happy, show her possessively that you love her and scold her gently if she talks negative just to let her know that you are sure that she will fight this out easily and you are with her and you won’t let anything happen to her. Show her dreams of future and give her will and determination to fight. Your love shall be her strength and I am sure she will recover very soon. And do not refrain yourself and her from physical intimacy; just continue your bedroom life more actively and passionately. It is often seen that intimacy gives person more positivity and Adeline rush during sex will calm her anxiety and fears and also iterate your need and importance of her in your life. It will also provide her with contentment and a good night sleep which is necessary for her as fears and anxiety can lead to sleeplessness.” Arnav could not stop and voiced out “but does her health allow her to….. I mean she is weak and…………………….” He could not complete but the doctor understood his question and said “do not worry, she is not weak, her body is fine and todays happening are normal due to fear and stress and not because of weakness. Sex would even provide her with more energy and reduce her stress and fears too. Arnav I have seen you love her too much and trust me your love, care and intimacy will help her steer through this easily. All the best and take care and she will be well soon and I call you tomorrow with the details. now you can take her home ruhi has checked her. Now go and meet her.”

Arnav did not know when he got up and hugged the doctor and said “thank you so much doctor. Thank you” the doctor was surprised and said “its ok, well it really means a lot ASR thanking me. ASR as far as I have heard you are a focussed and shrewd business and you are known to be possessive and protective too. So just go and protect your love possessively and your love shall win. Bye and take care and keep me updated too.”

Arnav left the cabin and headed towards khushi, he had a mission and he had decided to save her and he shall save her and always love and cherish her. He had to tell both the families about it. Then make arrangements to take khushi to London and he realised that khushi will not agree stating di so another decision was made by him that di and khushi both will be travelling to London with him and having di will keep him also sane from worrying about her and his di was also his support system and that will leave khushi with no excuse. His priorities were changed and fixed both di and khushi were important for his survival and hence he would not leave one for other ever. After this another thought crossed his mind and his guilt rose. Khushi had decided to die lately in last four days only because she could not afford this treatment and since Arnav had snatched away all her rights over him by bringing that contract marriage four days back. since now she considered her to be his contract wife and her matters and expenses were not his and secondly this marriage was to end in 6 months and he was not responsible for her after that, so she had concluded that she had absolutely no right to ask me for her treatment expenses as I was not her husband in true sense and she was not supposed to depend on me. And she did not have money for her treatment, so it was obvious that she had to die that’s why she was hell bent on leaving me, then that entire bank and money arrangement was to secure others when she would have gone. He felt guiltier that he made his love suffer so much. She had decided to give up just because she thought she was not my wife and had no rights on my money. When in reality I had surrendered to her long ago and she had always been my wife and had all rights over me. If I would have told her before what I confessed today about our marriage to be real and that 6 month contract bullshit was always a hoax and never true. She would at first place never left me. And then it clicked him that today after realising his love and that their marriage was real and valid for life she had before fainting, told him that she will confide in him and said that she will tell him something about her too. She must have decided to tell me about this only. He knew it because she had seen hope in her as if she told him that I know you will make everything ok. And he decided ,I will make you ok khushi. We both shall live together a long life. And at this moment a positive thought crossed his mind she had called him in her dizzy state and said “save me”. It gave me an assurance that you trust me now and you are back in my life and you have accepted me khushi. And I promise I will save you because our heartbeats are one.

With new vigour he opened her room door and he saw her sitting and what he saw in her eyes thrilled him. It was a confidence that her Arnavji will not let  anything happen to her. And his eyes in reply told her that now he was in absolute control and he will save her and they have a lifetime together ahead.

He proceeded towards her motioning the nurse to move out and told her that he is taking her home and the hospital bill will be taken care of, and he came and held her hands and sat in front of her.
