Her Silent Scream

As I uttered this, Arhaan continued taking his breakfast with a smile and looking at us, Api spoke up, “Yeah yeah. That’s right. Otherwise how are we supposed to get after all you are Mrs. Khushi Arhaan Mahmud!”

Hearing Api, I turned to Arhaan confusingly only to find him giving api an irritated look whereas vai kept smiling.

Api spoke up again looking at me, ”Dear, finish your breakfast and get ready for college. Arhaan will drop you on his way.”

I nodded at that and when I was done with my breakfast, I got back to my room to get ready.

While on our way to college, finally I ended up asking Arhaan the question which was on my mind, ”Arhaan, are you by any chance planning something?”

He gave me a confused look as he uttered, ”What are you referring to?”

”My family” as soon as I uttered this, Arhaan’s expression changed into a glaring one. He parked the car by the road side as he spoke up, ”Khushi, at first you tell me what was your brother telling you last night?”

I spoke up looking down, ”Nothing like that”

Hearing me, he scoffed. When I looked at him, he spoke up, ”If it was nothing like that then what’s with this expression of yours, Khushi?”

Without uttering anything, I just kept staring at him and he uttered again, ”I was not planning anything earlier. But I am going to do now.”

I spoke up sternly then, ”No. You wont.” and then giving me a strange look, Arhaan spoke up, ”Where do you find this sternness of yours for defending them only? What happens to your sternness when you talk to them? Why do you let them treat you like this, Khushi? After treating you like that, they don’t deserve forgiveness but punishment only.”

Keeping silence for some moments, I spoke up only to get Arhaan smiling as he nodded at me....
