Shashi: Yes Beta.. I do remember.. But not tonight.. I will tell you tomorrow morning.. Promise.. Khushi: Ok Dad.. I wont force you.. But Dad.. Is it Horrible? I mean you delaying so much.. So is it something I cannot digest?
Shashi's eyes were filled with tears..
Shashi kissed her forehead again and then spoke.
Shashi: I cant lie to you Khushi.. Yes.. This is the most Ugly truth of your Life.. But Promise me Khushi.. You will accept the Truth whatever it is..
An unknown Fear gripped her mind. She hugged her dad tightly and then said Good Night to them and returned back to her room for some sleep..
Next Morning..
The Day was bright.. A lady .. 50 years old.. was doing the Pooja in a Mansion.. The House was named as "RM which stood for Raizada Mansion". She was the 2nd head of this House after her mother.. She had 2 children. One beautiful smiling daughter who was married to a Lawyer.. Her name was Mrs Anjali Shyam Jha and a Business Tycoon Son Mr Arnav Singh Raizada Who was not just a Young , dashing and Talented Hunk.. But was equally Ruthless, Arrogant and an Unpredictable Person whose Life revolved around only two people.. His dear ones.. His Mother Mrs Asha Raizada and his Sister Mrs Anjali Shyam Jha..
So along with Mrs Asha Raizada and Anjali and Arnav, this house had some more important characters.. Asha's mother.. (Nani) and her Brother's Family (Mama, Mami, Akash and Akash's wife.. Payal).
Hearing the tinkling of the Sacred Bells, Anjali got up from her bed.. She was wearing a Blue Transparent Saree. She looked at her Husband Shyam beside her and then kissed him on his forehead.. Shyam smiled in his sleep.
Shyam: Rani Saheba... Your mothers Day has started.. Get ready soon and move down.. Or else she would take the entire house on her head..
Anjali: Are you scared of her Shyam? (She asked smiling)
Shyam: Who is not scared of their Mother -in-law? And well the entire House is scared of her except your Brother..
Anjali kissed him on his cheeks and then rushed to the Bathroom. She had her shower and came down to her Mother.. She waited for her mother to complete the Pooja.. She was standing behind her.. Nani, Mama, Mami, Payal, Akash, Shyam.. Everyone came there one by one and stood behind her folding hands to pray. Who didnt come was Asha's son... ARNAV...
The Pooja was over and she turned behind.. She gave a sarcastic look at everyone once and then questioned Anjali..
Asha: Where is Chotte?
Anjali: Mumma.. He is still on bed.. Its Just 08:00 Mumma.. And he came home late..
Asha: Hari Prasad. ... Hari Prasad... (She called the Servant in a harsh tone making everybody worried..)
Asha: When did he come yesterday night? HP: At 03:00 am Madam..
Asha: Alone or with some girl? HP: Alone Madam..
Asha: Was he drunk?
HP: No.. No Madam.. (He was scared lieing to her)
Asha: DOnt lie Hari Prasad.. I will fire you from the house. Tell me honestly.. Was he drunk? HP: Ye.. Yes Madam..
Asha: Hmm.. Go..
Asha handed the Pooja Thali to Anjali as she was the only one who had took the Shower. Rest all had just walked down from their sleep.. She then turned towards Arnav's room to wake him up in her own way.. Anjali tried stopping her but she didnt bother..
Anjali: Mumma bhi naa.. Sometimes she acts so strict..But then when the matter comes of Chotte..he always manages to pacify her.. And today also I expect the same thing..
Maami: Anjali Bitiya.. Your Mumma looks hard from outside but she has a Gold heart.. Anjali: Yes Maami.. We are so lucky to have her as our Mumma..
Asha knocked Arnav's room. The door was opened.. She came in. She saw his Clothes all lying on the Floor. Even his Jeans.. He was only in his Boxers and sleeping on the Bed cozily with his Quilt on him. She moved to the French Doors and pulled the curtains open. The rays of the Sun hit Arnav's eyes and he groaned..
Arnav: Who the hell asked to open the Curtains.. Close it.. At once..
Asha: Chotte.. Open your eyes.. And dont dare speak to me like that again..
Arnav opened his eyes.. He was so damm sleepy.. And his mother always woke him up at the wrong timings..
Arnav: That was my dialouge Mumma.. You dont dare to copy that again from me.. He hugged the Pillow beside him and then closed his eyes once again.

Arnav: Who the hell asked to open the Curtains.. Close it.. At once..
Asha: Chotte.. Open your eyes.. And dont dare speak to me like that again..
Arnav opened his eyes.. He was so damm sleepy.. And his mother always woke him up at the wrong timings..
Arnav: That was my dialouge Mumma.. You dont dare to copy that again from me..
He hugged the Pillow beside him and then closed his eyes once again. Asha came and sat beside him on the bed..
Asha: Arnav.. Look at the way you sleep. You almost need the entire bed.. After you get married... Where will your wife sleep?
Arnav smiled.. He then placed his head on his mothers lap. Arnav: Below me Maa.. Why she needs a seperate space..
Asha smiled and then she hit his lightly on his cheek.. She then saw some lipstick Marks on his cheek..
Asha: Arnav.. What marks are these?
Arnav: Lipstick marks Mumma.. What else? Well now dont think I just got physical with any girl. I was in the party yesterday and somewhere suddenly a freaking girl came in and hugged me. Before I could push her she kissed me on my cheek.. I dont understand why these girls do such things..
Asha: Arnav.. Do you even know how handsome you are..? Ofcourse no doubt you have so many fans.. Arnav Singh Raizada is the Hottest Tycoon in the town.. All know that..
Arnav: Hmm.. Whats the time? Asha: Its almost 09:00 now.. Arnav: Ohh Shit Man..!!!
He got up from the bed and rushed inside the shower.. Asha: What happened Arnav..
Arnav: I have a meeting at 10:00.. I need the breakfast at the table in next 30 minutes..
He said that and left for Shower.. Asha removed his clothes from the Closet and then kept them on the bed. She moved down. Anjali was in the Kitchen and assisting Payal for the breakfast. Asha came in..
Anjali: Mumma.. You know what date is today? Asha: Its 21st September.. Why?
Anjali: Its her birthday today Mumma..
Asha understood what Anjali was highlighting.. Asha: So..?
Anjali: Dont you think we should send some flowers at their place?
Asha: No Anjali.. No need. You know very well why..!! Anyways Chotte is going to Office,.. Is the breakfast ready?
Anjali was nervous.. She smiled and noded a yes. Asha went out of the Kitchen.. Payal: Di.. Its ok.. You know your Mumma... She will never agree..
Anjali: I know Payal Bhabhi.. But till when? She needs to understand at least now.. Payal: We cannot do anything.. Afterall everything depends on Arnav and Aunty..
Anjali moved out with a sad face.. Arnav saw her coming out of the Kitchen. He hugged her.. Arnav: Di.. Anything wrong?
Anjali: No.. Nothing.. Its better I dont tell you.. I dont want to spoil your mood too.. Like I spoiled Mom's mood...
Arnav: Ohh .. Ok.. I know which topic you Upset on.. Come on Di.. We dont look at the Past.. And specially when it was so horrible.. I dont even want to believe it.. And Mom.. Well She has lost a lot many things then.. So stop all that crap and serve me the breakfast. Ok?
Anjali knew it was so damm difficult to make these 2 understand what she felt..She served him his breakfast and he started having.. Akash and Arnav left for their Office..
IN Gupta House..
It was 10:00 Now and Khushi was getting ready to go out for some shopping with her Mother.. Today Shashi had arranged a Party at their Club House and all her friends and their relatives were invited.. Khushi came down and then heard her father talking to her mother..
Shashi: Should I invite them too?
Garima: No.. Not today.. And even if you did.. They would never come.. Shashi: I know.. But still
Khushi: Who wont come Dad?
They were shocked to know Khushi heard something.. Shashi: Well no one.. I mean my business clients.. Khushi: Dad.. You lieing to me?
Shashi was quiet and so was Garima..
Khushi: Is it something related to that truth which you supposed to tell me today? Shashi: Yes..
Khushi: I cannot take this suspense so much Dad.. Please.. I can handle worst situations but not such secrets anymore.. Please tell me what you wanted to tell me from so many years.. Please Dad.. You have my promise..
Khushi's hand and then took her to their room. Garima also followed.. He then opened their closet and then removed a Family photo from a file..And then showed her.. It was an old picture.. Taken almost 12 years back..
Shashi: Can you identify who all are there in this picture?
Khushi started weeping.. This picture had many known and many unknown faces.. Khushi: Its my real mamma, daddy, me, you , Maa, and others I dont know.. Shashi: You sure you dont know them Khushi?
Khushi: No Dad.. (She wiped her tears). They dont look part of our family.. Shashi: Well.. They too are part of our family Khushi..
He then pointed on every unknown individual on that picture and introduced her..
Shashi: This is Mr Aarav Singh Raizada, your Dad's best friend, this is his wife Mrs Asha Singh Raizada, this is Anjali their daughter and this is their son Arnav Singh Raizada..
Khushi: Ok.. So who are they? I mean I never met them these years..
Shashi: They are the Big Shots of Delhi Khushi... Your family, we and Raizada family were Business friends.. And this picture was taken a week before the Accident of your Mom and Dad.. Khushi looked at Shashi..
Khushi: What happened then?
Shashi: I and Garima had to go to Lucknow for some work. And what we heard later was that these 2 families met with a terrible accident..
Khushi: You mean.. Even they were there that night with me and mom dad?
Shashi: Yes Khushi.. Aarav was driving the Car. It was a monsoon night. The road was slippery.. And you all were returning from the celeberation when this Accident took place. Your mom, dad and Aarav died on the spot.. Others were slightly injured... Including you..
She started weeping imagining the accident scene.. Khushi: What celeberation?
Shashi held her hand..
Shashi: Your Marriage celeberation Khushi..
Khushi was shocked to death. Marriage? Her Marriage? When she was a Kid? With whom? And why?
Khushi: Marriage? What are you telling me Dad?
Shashi: Yes Khushi.. You got married when you were almost 10. Khushi: What? With whom Dad? Who is my husband?
Shashi: Arnav SIngh Raizada..
She looked back in the picture.. Yes.. She could see him. He was almost 15 when she was 10..Tears started rolling down her cheeks.. She threw the picture aside and hugged Garima.. Garima tried to console her.. But she was weeping badly.. Garima made her sit on the bed and sat beside her.
Garima: Look Khushi.. Please dont cry like this.. I know this is all so strange for you.. But thats the truth. It was your marriage day.. 6th June and this Accident happened on that same day. But it changed a lot after the accident.. Asha .. denied of accepting you as her bahu since she
considered you as a bad fate in their lives.. She considered this marriage responsible for the Accident.. And she still feels the same.. She never accepted you even after knowing that you were left alone in this world.. So we adopted you.. And got you here.. In Lucknow.. And since then though your Dad had business in Delhi, he never took you there.. Because he never wanted you to face these people again.
Khushi was blank. She could still not believe she was married.. This marriage was not even legal in todays terms.. What should she do?
Khushi: Why did Maa and Pappa got me married so early Dad?
Shashi: Because Aarav had Cancer.. And Aarav really wanted to extend this friendship which he had with your dad to a Relationship.. He knew he would not be alive for long to see you two kids growing up and getting married. It was his last wish.. And thus they got you both married.. Khushi: I dont know Dad.. What to believe and why to believe this? I am so damm confused.. I cannot clear my mind at all.. I cannot believe this fact Dad..
Khushi was so lost in all this.. She kept on weeping and then she slept on her mothers lap. To be continued
Part 2:
Khushi: Why did Maa and Pappa got me married so early Dad?
Shashi: Because Aarav had Cancer.. And Aarav really wanted to extend this friendship which he had with your dad to a Relationship.. He knew he would not be alive for long to see you two kids growing up and getting married. It was his last wish.. And thus they got you both married.. Khushi: I dont know Dad.. What to believe and why to believe this? I am so damm confused.. I cannot clear my mind at all.. I cannot believe this fact Dad..
Khushi was so lost in all this.. She kept on weeping and then she slept on her mothers lap. She woke up after sometime and then came down to Shashi and Garima.
Garima: Khushi.. You got up.. Well Get ready .. You know we have to start for the Party. Khushi: Yes Maa..
Shashi: Khushi.. This time you didnt ask me for any birthday gift.. What do you want? Khushi thought deeply.. She then looked at her Father.
Khushi: Would you really give me what I want Dad? Shashi: Yes Beta.. Just ask.
Khushi: I want to go to Delhi Dad.. Shashi and Garima both were shocked.. Shashi: No Khushi.. Please.. Dont ask for this..
once.. I want to see them all once.. Please Dad.. Dont deny.. Wont I ever know how that Family was of whose I am a Daughter in Law.. Please Dad..
Garima and Shashi looked at each other in surprise.. Should they really fulfil her wish? Shashi: Ok fine.. But just once and then we are back. Understood?
Khushi smiled and hugged him. They then left for the Party.. Khushi was no longer eager for this party. Her mood was quite upset. She couldnt concentrate at all in anything.. She was thinking of that Ugly truth she came to know today. What a fate she had. She married someone in her
childhood and then that same day she lost 3 important persons of her life.. Her parents and his dad.. A tear fell down from her eyes. Garima could not see her like that. She thought this was too early for her to know about her past.. But they couldnt hide it more from her now..
RM:
It was night.. Anjali was sitting with Asha at the Living room when Asha started showing her some pictures of some girls..
Asha: Anjali.. How is this girl?
Anjali: Who is she Mumma? She looks nice..
Asha: She is Akshata.. My Friends daughter.. I met her once and she is really cute.. I mean for Chotte..
Anjali was shocked..
Anjali: Mumma.. For Chotte?
Asha: Hmm who else is left to get married in RM?
Anjali: Mumma you know very well.. Chotte is married.. How can you forget that.. I understand that you cannot accept this fact .. But you cannot deny it either..
Asha: Anjali.. You know I dont care what that marriage was.. And I cannot keep Chotte alone for his entire life.. This is his age to get married.. He is 27 now..
Anjali: Mumma cant we get Khushi here?
Asha: Stop it Anjali.. And dont take her name again in this house..
She said that and left the room. Anjali was now getting scared.. Her mother was actually ruining a girls life.. They didnt even knew how Khushi was.. how she looked and even if she knows this truth that she was the Bahu of Raizada family.. She thought of talking to Arnav on this matter.. If he wished, he could convince Mom and get Khushi here in this house..
Arnav came home from his work. He went straight in his room and got changed.. Anjali came inside..
Anjali: Chotte.. I wanted to talk to you.. Arnav: Yes Di. What happened?
Anjali: Chotte .. You remember her name atleast.??? Arnav: Whose name?
Anjali: Your wife CHotte..
girls name?? Well.. I dont.. And I dont wanna know that too.. Understood? Anjali: Chotte why are you talking like this? So much of anger? For what?
Arnav: Di.. I just dont like talking about the past.. Please.. And if Mumma hears this.. She too would not like..
Anjali was sad.. She lost her hopes. There was no one in this house whose help she could take.. Back to Lucknow..
Almost some days passed and Khushi planned for their trip to Delhi. Actually they had a house in Delhi too. But she never had seen it.. And the headquaters of their SG group was in Delhi itself.. Shashi had some meeting fixed in the Delhi Office and on Khushi's request this time he planned to take her and Garima too with him. She packed her bags and they started their journey..They reached Delhi by Road and then entered their own house..
Next Day:
Arnav was driving with Full speed to his Office.. He was wearing a Black Suit, Hair gelled and his eyes on the road. Suddenly a small boy was crossing the road and he had to apply the brakes with full force.. The boy was scared seeing the vehicle nearing and he stood where he was instead of moving.. The Car stopped exactly 1 inch away from the boy but the force was so strong that the boy just fell down getting scared.. He didnt get hurt at all. He stopped the Car and came outside.. He was about to talk to the boy to ask if he was fine when a girl suddenly came from the crowd and then pulled the boy towards her. She started rubbing the Boys leg and asking if he is hurt.. This girl wore a nice chudidar and she had left her hair open. She caressed the boy a bit and then turn towards him.
Khushi: How can someone drive so rashly.. What if the Boy would have been hurt?
She saw the figure in front of her.. He was tall, handsome and anyone from his face could read him.. He was arrogant Big shot and he had no guilt on his face at all.
Khushi: Hello Mr.. I am talking to you.. Are you deaf?
Arnav was still silent.. He just kept on admiring her face and expressions when she spoke.. She was in full rage.. For an unknown boy.. No one else in the crowd spoke anything to him except her.. That means she didnt knew who he was.. She was definately new to this place.. Or else she would never have the Guts to speak to him in that way...
Khushi: I guess you not not just deaf.. You are dumb too.
Arnav: Enough.. Mind your tongue before you speak to me.. Understood?
Khushi: Finally.. The Rock broke.. Do you even know what would have happened if the Car had hit the boy?
Arnav: It didnt hit right? Why are you creating a scene?
Khushi: Scene? I am creating a Scene? Well.. I dont wish to waste my time talking to someone who has no heart.. Just say Sorry to the boy and move..
Arnav was damm furious listening This. This girl was making him go mad.. How can she expect he would say sorry to someone like that..
Arnav: Arnav Singh Raizada never says Sorry to Anyone..
Husband.. She gulped and then moved 2 steps back..
Arnav: What Happened? Horrfied listening my name? Well everyone does that here.. So next time .. dont dare cross my path..
He said that and then gave her a rude look.. Put his sunglasses and then stepped inside his car and drove off..(With ASR background Music still ringing in Khushi's ears..)

Part 3:
Khushi came back home. She was still lost in what happened with her today.. She met her Husband? She really met him? Was he really Arnav Singh Raizada? She knew this Guy was a famous business tycoon and thus his photos and news are always headlines of the newspaper.. She went straight to the Living room and took todays paper.. On the third page she saw his Photo.. He had recently receieved some award and the picture was the same one.. So that means yes this man she met was Arnav Singh Raizada..He was so heartless.. He was so damm rude, arrogant, and pathetic.. He had no manners to talk to a girl, He was so impolite.. How can her parents get her married to such a ruthless guy? Well.. At childhood he may not be soo.. She was still checking his picture when she saw Shashi coming down. She kept the paper aside and then looked at him..
Shashi: Khushi... I have some work. I am going to Office.. You and Garima be at home.. Ok? Khushi: Yes Dad..
Shashi: And Yes. You are not going to try meeting any of the Raizada family alone.. I know how desperate you are to meet them. I will plan something for that.. Ok?
Khushi was little tensed.. Showuld she tell her father that she coincidently met her husband? No.. After hearing this they would be so protective that they would never allow her to go out alone.. Shashi went for Office and Khushi went back to her room. She was still thinking about him. She never thought she would meet her so called husband like that.. And not just meet.. She also fought with him.. How she wished all this child marriage truth was a fake one and she could get her old life back.. She opened her laptop and started some investigation about him. She knew he was not a Playboy but his name was very much linked to some Models. And the latest one was Miss Lavanya Kashyap..
Lavanya was the Model of AR designs and not just that she also assisted Arnav in his Office with his other stuffs.. They were together from past 1 year and he was always found with her, only her in all the Parties.. Khushi saw one recent picture of theirs in the Website.. It was some birthday Bash of Lavanya. A party organised and Hosted by Mr Arnav Singh Raizada in his Private Guest House with close friends. In the Picture she was feeding a peice of Cake to him and he had held her waist. She had worn some Low neck black dress and looking at them like that in the picture anyone could guess that these two actually shared some private moments too.. Afterall she was his current Girlfriend. Khushi closed the Laptop when she heard her mother knocking her door.. Garima: Khushi.. Its 12:00 at night.. You still awake? What were you doing?
Khushi Nothing Maa.. I was just browsing.. I will sleep in few minutes.. Garima: Browsing what? Details of Raizada Family?
Khsuhi could not lie.. She looked down And Garima came to her and sat next to her.. Garima: Look Khushi.. You wont get anything thinking about the past. You cannot change anything that happened.. Nor could you mend it alone.. They will never accept you in their family.. Though I know they are wrong. It was never your fault..You were young.. The accident was not because of your ill fate or something.. But Asha is a very orthodox lady. She will never let you come in their lives again and so be it. Even we do not want you to accept this
relationship. Forget what all happened with you Khushi.. And start a new life..
Khushi: New Life Maa? How can I..?? Maa.. The truth is so damm haunting my mind and heart.. I cannot forget it at all. Its not so easy Maa.. Its not so easy to digest the fact that I am married to someone in my childhood and that same person and is family is not willing to accept me even after knowing that it was not my fault..
She started crying and Graima hugged her..
Garima: I know Beta.. Just stop crying now.. Please..
She consoled Khushi and then she thought of taking Khushi to some temple here in Delhi the next morning to change her mood..
Next Morning:
Khushi got dressed in a simple Red Chudidar and she started for the Temple with her mother.. They reached and finally they stepped inside the temple for prayers..
Garima: Khushi... Can you get some Flowers from outside? I will stay here in the queue... Khushi: Ok..
She left with her Wallet and a Phone. She was exactly outside the temple buying flowers when Asha came there and she too asked for some flowers to be packed.. Khushi looked at her once. Well she didnt recognize her at all. She had seen her but in her childhood. She was no more than an unknown person to her. Asha looked at Khushi once. She had seen those eyes somewhere.. She felt as if she knew this girl. But she ignored her thinking that she was a stranger and nothing else. Asha took the flowers first and she was about to climb the stairs of the temple when she fainted due to the scorching heat of the Sun.. Khushi saw her fainting and she rushed towards her to help her balance. Asha's driver saw Asha and Khushi and he came running to them.
Khushi: Aunty.. Are you Ok? Aunty?? (She patted on Asha's cheeks) Driver: Madam.. What happened to her?
Khushi: I guess she fainted..
Driver: I am her driver.. I will get the Car.. Wait here .. Khushi: Ok..
The driver got the Car but Khushi could not just let the driver take this lady like that.. There should be somebody to balance her inside the Car so the driver asked her to join and she agreed. They made Asha sit at the backseat with Khushi and the driver drove to RM. Khushi called her mother and informed her how she helped someone and that she will leave the lady back home and return. Garima asked her to take care and told her to come straight home after leaving this
lady. She agreed. In all this talk she didnt understand when the driver drove the Car inside RM.. She could not read the name of the House at the gate.. The Car was parked.. Asha was now able to open her eyes and walk but she was still weak. Khushi helped her holding her shoulders and hand to enter inside the House.. The driver already told everyone inside about Asha. Anjali and Payal came running in the Living room. As soon as Khushi helped Asha sit on the Couch see saw a Big Family Photo in front which even included her husband.
She was shocked.. Where was she? What was his Photo doing here in this House? Whose house was this? Does that mean she was in Raizada Mansion? Who was this lady then?
Anjali: Mummaa.. What happened Mumma? (Anjali started weeping seeing Asha's condition.) Khushi: She was fainting at the temple.. So I got her here..
Anjali: Thanks a lot.. I told her not to go alone.. She didnt listen to me.. Payal please call the Doctor at once..
Anjali sat beside Asha and then Payal called up the Doctor.. Khushi was still not believing if she was actually here.. In Raizada Mansion.. She thought of confirming..
Khushi: Whose Picture is this? (She asked to the Driver)
Driver: He is the Eldest Son of this house.. Arnav Singh Raizada.. And the lady whom you got here. She is his mother..
She was stunned.. She knew she had come to a right place but at a wrong time..
Asha drank some water now and then she was able to balance herself and sit on the Couch. Anjali kissed her mothers forehead and then She looked at Khushi..
Anjali: Thanks so much you got Mumma here..
Khushi smiled..She started analyzing.. If this Aunty was his mother meant The girl calling her Mumma was his sister Anjali.. She gulped.
__________________________________________________________________ Precap for Part 4:
Arnav: You? What are you doing here? Who took you inside the gates? Hari Prasad.. Hari Prasad.. Just get this girl outside ... Now..
Anjali was damm shocked.. How can he speak something like that? Anjali: Chotte.. Stop this.. She helped us and you asking her to leave?
Arnav looked at Anjali and then saw his mumma's pale face too. He rushed to his mother.. Arnav: Mumma.. What happened .?? You ok?
Asha: Nothing Chotte.. I just fainted today in temple and Khushi got me here..
Arnav was shocked to hear this name.. He knew what this name meant in this house.. He looked at Anjali..
Anjali: Her name is Khushi.. Do you know her Chotte? Have you met before?
Khushi was so getting nervous all this time.. She prayed to God not to let her truth out in this house.. Atleast not now..
Part 4:
Asha drank some water now and then she was able to balance herself and sit on the Couch. Anjali kissed her mothers forehead and then She looked at Khushi..

Anjali: Ohh!! I didnt even ask you your name.. Khushi: Name? (She was sweating now)
Anjali: Yeah.. I am Anjali.. She is my mumma.. Whats your name? Khushi: I am.. I am Khushi..
And everybody who heard her were shocked.. Specially Anjali. Asha then saw everyone and turned to Anjali..
Asha: Is there only one Khushi we know? There may be so many girls named Khushi.. SO stop overreacting like this..
Khushi understood what she was referring to and it was good she didnt ask anything much about her.. She smiled at Asha. And then came the Man of this House from the door.. Arnav was on call with someone and as soon as he saw her inside he kept the call and bursted out..
Arnav: You? What are you doing here? Who took you inside the gates? Hari Prasad.. Hari Prasad.. Just get this girl outside ... Now..
Anjali was damm shocked.. How can he speak something like that? Anjali: Chotte.. Stop this.. She helped us and you asking her to leave?

Arnav was shocked to hear this name.. He knew what this name meant in this house.. He looked at Anjali..
Anjali: Her name is Khushi.. Do you know her Chotte? Have you met before?
Khushi was so getting nervous all this time.. She prayed to God not to let her truth out in this house.. Atleast not now..
Arnav: Yeah.. I met her once before..
Khushi: Umm.. I think I should leave now.. I am getting late.. Anjali: Khushi.. Wait.. I will ask the driver to drop you home.. Khushi: No.. No Anjaliji.. I will go..
Anjali: Dont call me Anjaliji.. You can call me Anjali..
Anjali smiled and then Asha spoke.. Asha: Khushi.. Wait a minute..
Khushi gulped what was coming next for her.. She looked at Asha.. Asha got up from her Couch and came to her..
Asha: Where are you from?
Khushi: I.. I .. I am from Lucknow..
She didnt lie.. And Asha was a bit more curious to know about her now.. Asha: Your family? I mean your parents?
Khushi understood what Asha was trying to find out.. She had to lie something now..
Khushi: Yeah.. I have my parents with me.. Infact we settled in Delhi just a week back. My Dad got transferred here.. He is into some government service..
Arnav: Mumma.. enough.. You need rest.. Di.. take her upstairs..
Anjali noded and she held Asha's hands. Khushi was really scared. She smiled at Anjali and then when Anjali and Asha were about to move, Khushi held Asha's hands..
Khushi: Aunty one minute..
Asha and Anjali stopped.. Khushi bent down and she touched Asha's feet for her blessings. Asha blessed her and a drop of tear fell from her eyes.. She wiped it and then she looked at Asha.. Everyone were shocked...
Khushi: My mom says.. You always need to take the Elders Blessings when you leave.. Asha smiled.. She somehow liked this girl..
Asha: God bless you Khushi.. And Yes your mom is right.. SHe has really given you good cultures..
Khushi smiled and then she left the house.. Asha kept on staring at her while she left and Anjali a bit confused as if she knew this girl from long time...
Arnav was also left speechless.. He came back to his mumma,..
Arnav: Mumma... Enough of this staring session. SHe is gone.. You need to rest Ok? Asha: Yeah..
Arnav was little suspicious about Khushi.. It was yesterday that he met her and she is here today in RM with his mother.. Upon that her name is Khushi.. Was he thinking something sensible or was it just conincidence? He thought of ignoring this currently since he had no time to waste in these matters..
Arnav was in his room when Asha came to him. Arnav got up from his chair and helped Asha come inside and sit with him.
Arnav: Mumma.. You could have called me... Why did you come here? Asha: Arnav.. I am fine now.. Dont worry so much.
Arnav: Fine.. Did you have your medicines? Asha: Yes.. Arnav.. I need to ask you something..
Arnav: Yes Mumma.. You dont need a permission for that.. Asha: I want you to marry..
Arnav was little shocked.. But he knew she would ask him this one fine day.
Arnav: Mumma.. Look.. I still have no plans for marrying.. I have so much of work commitments to fulfil. I cannot give time for my personal life without completing those..
Asha: I understand Arnav.. But still I would suggest you get married.. But we can wait for some more months if you insist..
Arnav: We? Who all?
Asha: I mean we all and Akshata's family.
Arnav: What The..!! Mumma I told you I am least interested in Akshata.. Allright?
Asha: So you still interested in Lavanya? Come on Arnav.. You know I dont like her much.. Arnav: Mumma.. She is nice.. She knows what I am .. How I am.. I guess she can handle me.. Please Mumma.. If not her.. Then I doubt if I can fulfil your wish..
Asha: Do you love her Arnav?
Arnav: Mumma please.. I dont believe in all this Love.. I just like Lavanya.. And I think she does too.. So if incase I need to get married.. I would marry her.. Ok?
Asha didnt agree but she didnt deny either.. She noded and left his room. IN Gupta House..
Khushi was in her room recollecting all the things that happened today.. How she met her In laws.. Specially her mother in law.. The most important part of her ugly truth.. She again opened her laptop and then started searching about her Mother in Law details. She found that even Asha was part of the Board of Directors of the AR group. Khushi thought something for a moment.. She needed to spend some time with these people.. No doubt how much they hated her but she wanted to know each and every member of her so called Family.. Though she would never be able to be with them once she leaves back to Lucknow.. She still needed to know them. She could not ask her parents to help her in this. They would always deny. So she thought of doing this herself..
Next Day:
Khushi followed Asha and Anjali who were going to some Fashion House for selecting some Fabrics and Designs for the upcoming Launch of Winter wear in AR Group.. She too reached there from an Auto and then she read the board. She knew what she had to do. She took out a Notebook and a Pen and then entered inside following them.

Khushi followed Asha and Anjali who were going to some Fashion House for selecting some Fabrics and Designs for the upcoming Launch of Winter wear in AR Group.. She too reached there from an Auto and then she read the board. She knew what she had to do. She took out a Notebook and a Pen and then entered inside following them.
Asha and Anjali were checking the Fabric when they saw Khushi talking to some Manager.. Khushi: Sir.. Please.. I am on a Project and I need just some details.. Its a matter of just some time..
Manager: Sorry Miss Khushi.. I cannot help. We do not have time to support students in their college Projects.. If you need some Design informations, try somewhere else..
Khushi: That is OK. Thanks for your precious time..
She said that and was about to leave when Asha stopped her.. Asha: Khushi?
Khushi smiled and then turned back.
Khushi: Aunty.. You here? Hows your health? Asha: I am fine now..
Anjali: What are you doing her Khushi?
Khushi: Ohh Well.. I have a project to fulfill and submit it to my College.. But I am not finding the right help..
Anjali: What help?
Khushi: I am studying Fashion Designing but then I was asked to submit a Theasis on some Live Job on Designing.. But I am unable to find one here.. I am new to Delhi and I hardly know whom to meet for this.. I came here thinking they could help me But..
Anjali: Ohh Khushi.. Why are you worrying.. Wait. Mumma... Cant we help her in this? Asha looked at Anjali first. She didnt show much interest in helping KHushi who was yet unknown to them but she knew her daughter was very innocent and gentle and she would really help Khushi at any cost..
Asha: Fine.. I will see what I can do.
Khushi: No Aunty.. Please.. I dont want to be a burden on you for this.. I will manage.. You asked me.. this was far than expected..
Anjali: No Khushi.. When Mumma said she will do something.. Means she will actually help you out.. Its not that you have to come to the AR Group and study there and make your Project.. But you can come home.. I mean in RM.. I myself have made such Projects before.. Even I can help you with those.. If you Ok?
Khushi was always OK for this.. Afterall she wanted to spend time in RM and nowhere else.. Khushi: Ohh That would be so kind of you both.. I would definately like that. So I will come from tomorrow?
Asha: Hmm.. At evenings..
Anjali: Always a Pleasure Khushi..
Khushi smiled and then she left from there waiting for tomorrow to come soon. SHe was very happy at her home today. She was preparing the Dinner when her Father and Mother saw her humming songs.. They were little curious to know what had made her so happy..
Khushi: Aaj Mausam Hai Suhana.. Khaana Banaane ka hai bahaana.. La la la la la la.. Garima laughed..
Garima: Khushi.. Today you proved your Buaji's words.. Your Sanak has gone to limits now.. You are really a Sankadevi..
Khushi: Maa.. Please.. Stop teasing me like that.. And well only Buaji can call me by that name.. Shashi: Ok Beta but why are you so happy?
Khushi knew now this was a serious question. But she had to answer that somehow..
Khushi: Daddy.. Remember I told you about my last Project.. Well I got a Helping hand in that project.. I am starting that work from tomorrow..
Shashi: Really? Who helped you?
Khushi: The same Aunty whom I helped in the Temple.. She and her daughter.. Shashi: What is her name?
Khushi: Umm.. Her name is Asha.. Shahsi: What?? Asha Raizada?
Khushi: Dad.. Is there only one Asha in Delhi?
Shashi: Khushi.. But how can you trust some unknown ?
Khushi: Dad.. She is no more unknown.. I have met her family. And its hardly a matter of 1 month. I will finish the Project and then we can leave back to Lucknow.. I am going to go every evening to their house.. Just for an hour or two.. Please Dad dont deny..
Shashi: Fine.. But try finishing this soon.. Ok? Khushi: Thank you Dad..
She hugged her parents. She felt bad for lieing to them. But she couldnt tell them the truth either.. Next Day:
It was evening and Khushi entered RM with a Notebook and her purse.. The door bell rang and Payal opened it..
Payal: Ohh Khushi.. Hello. Come in.. Khushi: Anjali is at home right?
Payal: Yeah she is in her room. You sit I will call her..
Payal made Khushi sit in the Living room and she went upstairs.. Khushi removed her notebook and started writing something when the door bell rang again and there was no one to open the door. She thought of opening the door. She moved towards the door and opened it. She saw him with Lavanya.. He had held Lavanya's hands and he saw her..
Khushi was actually speechless.. Her mouth always got shut when she saw him. And today.. he was not alone.. he was with this girl.. Lavanya..
They both came inside..
Arnav: I am talking to you Dammit.. Now dont act as if you are Deaf and Dumb..!!! You even understanding what I am asking you?
Khushi: Yeah.. I mean Yes.. I am here for.. Lavanya: ASR.. Who is she?
Arnav: I dont know Lavanya.. And dont want to know either.. Why are we wasting our time with her.. Come..
He pulled Lavanya and they moved upstairs.. Khushi was fuming.. Not that she was sad seeing him with her.. But she somehow never liked to see him like that with anyone.. .. He had no manners how to behave with a girl.. How can a girl even like him? She went back to the Couch and sat there.. Anjali came down..
Anjali: Khushi.. In my room. We will discuss the details there.. Khushi : Ok
She followed Anjali.. This was the first time she was able to get a better view of this House.. It was truely a Mansion.. They entered Anjali's room. It was beautiful. It had a Big Photo of Anjali and her husband Shyam together.. Behind the Bed on the wall..
Anjali: He is Shyam.. My husband.. Khushi smiled..
Anjali: Khushi.. So lets start..
Anjali showed Khushi some of her old projects that she had done during her College times and they were discussing on the same when Arnav came inside with Lavanya.. He didnt knew Khushi was with his DI but on seeing her smilling with his Di, he was irritated..
He and Lavanya stood at the door.. Anjali saw them and so did Khushi.. Arnav: Di.. Can I talk to you for a moment?
Anjali: Chotte.. Ofcourse.. What happened??
Arnav: Lavanya needed some help in draping Saree. We are going for a Party and she needs to wear a Saree.. I dont know..So can you help her?
Anjali didnt like Lavanya at all. But she couldnt deny her Chotte. Anjali: Ok. I will..
Arnav: Thanks..
Arnav smiled at Lavanya and he left for his room. Lavanya came inside. She asked Lavanya to wear the Innerskirt and Blouse and get ready so that she can make Lavanya ready herself by teaching her how to drape a saree.. Lavanya got changed and came out in her inner skirt and Blouse..
Anjali: Khushi.. Just few minutes.. I will assist Lavanya first and then will continue.. Ok? Khushi: Fine with me..
Anjali smiled but then suddenly she got a call from someone and she had to answer it.. Anjali: Khushi.. Do one thing.. Can you please assist Lavanya.. I need to take this call.. Khushi: But.. I cant show her like that.. I can wear it myself but cant explain it..
Anjali : Ok .. So you too wear this Saree and teach her while wearing.. (She removed a Red Saree from the Closet)
Khushi: What? No Anjali.. I mean .. Its your Saree.. I cannot.. Anjali: COme one Khushi.. No formalities..
Khushi: Ok.
Khushi went inside and draped the inner skirt and Blouse.. It fitted her properly as if it was her own measurements.. She then came out and was a bit Shy to teach Lavanya..
Lavanya: Khushi.. If your shy lessons are over then can we start. Khushi: Yes... (She muttered angrily)
Khushi took the Saree from the bed and started draping it.. Doing it slowly for Lavanya to follow her instructions. Arnav meanwhile saw his sister on call and thought that may be Lavanya was done with the Saree draping session. He came inside his sisters room and the verry first view he saw was Khushi smiling and draping his Sisters saree on herself. Her hair were left open. She then turned around to show her how the Saree should be turned to fit it on the lower body. Arnav had his eyes only on her.. She had brown eyes, deep enough for any guy like him to get drowned in it.. Her face was glittering in the sunset light that fell on her from the windows.. He kept standing there and admiring her.. He had almost forgotten why he was here and for whom. She still didnt knew his presence.. He was flat on her today.. He never felt such a pull towards anyone except her.. he himself was so confused... Her bare belly and back was getting goosebumps on his skin. She had yet not taken the Pallu on her.. And he could clearly see her Cleavage.. He gulped.. What was happening to him was not understandable currently.. She finally pulled the Pallu on her Shoulder and she was done.
Khushi: So.. This is it.. The actual way to wear a perfect Saree.. (She smiled)
Lavanya: Thanks.. Well but then how will I remember this next time? Its so complicated..
Khushi: Its simple Lavanya.. You just need the right concentration and perfect reason for draping it..
Lavanya: Hmm..
Lavanya saw Arnav standing and lost totally..
Lavanya: ASR.. You here? Well How am I looking?..
He was still not seeing Lavanya.. His eyes were still on Khushi and Khushi knew that.. She was so damm nervous with him seeing her constantly like that. She clutched the sides of her Pallu and then looked down.. Lavanya was checking herself in the mirror.. She didnt knew his eyes were not on her but Khushi..
Lavanya: ASR.. I am asking you.. Tell me am I looking good?
Arnav: Beauutifull.. Is all I can say.. I never knew someone can look pretty in a Saree.. You changed the defination of this to me..
Khushi realized where his eyes were roaming.. It roamed on her skin.. Her belly, her hands, her bosoms and she gulped trying to hide her form from his wild eyes..
______________________________________________________________________ Precap for Part 6:
Arnav: Fine Di.. I will drop her..
Khushi was nervous.. She thought of telling him some wrong address.. She walked behind him and Lavanya outside..
Arnav opened the front seat door for Lavanya. She sat inside. He then opened the back seat door and she sat behind.. He made sure he saw her all the time while closing the door and sitting on his seat.. He adjusted the front mirror so that he could see her.. He didnt knew why he did so. He never felt he was wrong.. He had a feeling that he had a right to admire her the way he likes.. And no one else can stop him from doing so.. She was feeling so uncomfortable behind.. She knew he was giving her sweet glances all the while driving.. Lavanya was though talking to him. He paid no attention to that..
Arnav: Where do you stay?
Lavanya: You know that ASR.. Why are you asking me? Arnav: I asked her.. Where do you stay?
Khushi: Umm.. Jublie Circle, Western Road, Near KFC Store.. (She said in a low voice but it was audible to him)
He drew his Car in that direction. Part 6:
Lavanya: ASR.. I am asking you.. Tell me am I looking good?
Arnav: Beauutifull.. Is all I can say.. I never knew someone can look pretty in a Saree.. You changed the defination of this to me..
Khushi realized where his eyes were roaming.. It roamed on her skin.. Her belly, her hands, her bosoms and she gulped trying to hide her form from his wild eyes..
Anjali and Asha entered the room and they were stunned seeing both Khushi and Lavanya in their respective Sarees..
Anjali: Wow.. Both of you are really looking gorgeous.. Hai naa Mumma?
Asha looked at Lavanya first. She looked nice but she missed the Innocency that an Indian Girl potrays in a Saree..
But Khushi.. She was just perfect. She was shy, naive and no doubt so cute.. Khushi was looking down all the while..
Khushi: Umm.. I guess I should Change..
Anjali: Change? What for? NO need Khushi.. You keep this Saree.. I mean its only meant for you.. Right Mumma..?
Asha though didnt like Anjali getting so close to an unknown girl, she could not deny the fact that she liked Khushi in that Saree pretty much than Lavanya.. She smiled and noded..
Khushi: No Anjali.. I cannot..
Anjali: No arguments Khushi.. Or else I wont help you in the Project. And dont change.. You can wear it while going.. You can even show your parents how cute and adorable you look in
Sarees..You look as if you are all fit to get married..
The thought of marriage got tears in her eyes.. She turned a bit and wiped it so that no one sees them. Though shw still knew Arnav's eyes were still on her..
Lavanya: Anjali.. Thats not fair.. Nobody is even praising me.. Anjali smiled and then spoke..
Anjali: Ohh Lavanya.. You too look very pretty. And your smile goes so well on this Saree.. Right Chotte?
She saw Arnav. He was still lost in Khushi.. Only Khushi.. She waved her hand in front of his eyes and he came back to his senses..
Arnav: Yeah Di.. We are getting late... I will get ready and come down..
Arnav left the room to get dressed for the Party leaving all of them in that room. Lavanya went down to wait for him in the Living room. Who left were Khushi, Asha and Anjali..
Khushi could see Asha staring at her.. She looked at Anjali now.. Khushi: Anjali.. I guess its already late today.. I need to leave home.
Anjali: Ok Khushi.. I wont stop you.. Come.. We will meet tomorrow.. Same time.. Khushi: Ok.. Bye Aunty..
Asha: Hmm..
Khushi and Anjali came down and saw Lavanya and Arnav talking.. Anjali: Chotte.. Can you drop Khushi at her home? Its too late..
Arnav looked at Khushi once again.. She didnt look happy with this decision.. Khushi: Anjali.. I can go myself.. Thats ok..
Anjali: Khushi.. You wearing a Red Saree today.. And its 09:00pm already.. I cant leave you alone on the Delhi Roads.. You are new here.. Please dont deny.. CHotte will drop you..
Khushi didnt wanted this.. HE will come to know where she lives and then he may know her true identity as well. She feared that.
Arnav: Fine Di.. I will drop her..
Khushi was nervous.. She thought of telling him some wrong address.. She walked behind him and Lavanya outside..
Arnav opened the front seat door for Lavanya. She sat inside. He then opened the back seat door and she sat behind.. He made sure he saw her all the time while closing the door and then he sat on his seat.. He adjusted the front mirror so that he could see her.. He didnt knew why he did so. He never felt he was wrong.. He had a feeling that he had a right to admire her the way he likes.. And no one else can stop him from doing so.. She was feeling so uncomfortable behind.. She knew he was giving her sweet glances all the while driving.. Lavanya was though talking to him. He paid no attention to that..
Arnav: Where do you stay?
Lavanya: You know that ASR.. Why are you asking me? Arnav: I asked her.. Where do you stay?
Khushi: Umm.. Jublie Circle, Western Road, Near KFC Store.. (She said in a low voice but it was audible to him)
He drew his Car in that direction. He knew only Rich people stay at these place.. Well she actually looked from a good and healthy family.. He kept driving. They were almost reaching. Her house was just 5 minutes ahead now.. She asked him to stop the Car at a small bunglow. It was not her house but she had to get down there showing him as her house..
Khushi: Please Stop here..
Arnav stopped the Car. She opened the Door and came out. He now didnt look at her. He was watching straight and Lavanya watched the two.. And their expressions..
She came to his door.. Khushi: Thanks for the Lift.
Arnav started his Car. He didnt even say welcome to her.. He and his attitude.. Only he could understand it.. No one else.
Khushi turned back and then started walking ahead.. Her house was just 5 minutes walk from there.. She reached home and she opened the Door.. Her father was waiting for her.. And they were shocked to see her in Red Saree..
Khushi: Dad.. Mum.. You both still awake?
Garima: Khushi.. You are not going there from tomorrow... Have you seen the time? Its 10:00 Khushi: Maa.. Relax.. Actually I had some other work there.. SO it took time.. They dropped me here..
Shashi: Who they?
Khushi: Umm.. They means.. that Auntys son.. Shashi: Name..?
Khushi: Ummm..
Shashi: Arnav Singh Raizada right?
Khushi was stunned.. How did they knew?
Shashi: Khushi.. I am your Dad.. And you lied to me for them? I have found out everything Khushi.. I was so suspicious on you right from day 1 we came here..
Khushi started crying..
Khushi: Dad.. I am sorry.. But I knew you would never allow me to be with them for sometime. She hugged her dad and so did he..
Shashi: Why do you even wish to have sometime with them Khushi? They rejected you.. Since your childhood and they dont want you back in their lives.. Then why?
would never accept me.. But to go back to them or not should be my choice now .. Not theirs.. Garima: Look Khushi.. We have decided.. No more going to that House.. We are leaving in 2 days back. Understood?
Khushi: No Maa.. Please.. Just 1 month and then I would myself come back with you.. But not now.. Please Dad..
Shashi: Fine.. 1 month Khushi.. But remember one thing.. Dont even dare to fall in Love with that guy.. He was never suitable for you then.. Not even now.. Understood?
Khushi noded.
She went to bed but she had all him in her thoughts.. His attitude, his anger, his rudeness, his look, his gaze on her skin, his eyes on her face in the car, his stubbornness of not responding to her Thanks.. Just him.. She could feel herself getting redder when she thought about him.. Was it because of some anger? Or was it that she was blushing? She hide her face inside the pillow and then slept..
Arnav was in the party with Lavanya.. But his thoughts were pulling him back to the moment when he saw her in the Red Saree first. What was that pull? Was it just a fatal attraction or something else.. Why did he always felt that he had seen those brown eyes before.. That smile, that sweetness, that innocence.. Why was he so much thinking about this.. It felt as if he knew her from long.. Why? Who is she? Was he really curious to know this? YES.. Definately YES..He removed his Mobile and called someone..
Arnav: Find out who Khushi is.. Yes the one who comes in RM for some Project reasons and meets my Sister.. I need to know her complete background and the reason why she is here in Delhi.. There has to be a reason why she visits RM.. Understood?
He kept the call and then turned back to find Lavanya.. Lavanya: Khushi??
Arnav: What?
Lavanya: Since the time we both have worn the Sarees and you saw us.. I am seeing that you just concentrating on only her.. What happened ASR? Is she so attractive that you forgot me?
Arnav: Lavanya.. You know me.. I never felt such things for anyone.. Not even you.. Lavanya: But for her..
Arnav was speechless...
Lavanya: Yes ASR.. She is pulling you.. I can feel that.. Well.. No harm in it.. Unless that Pull is just for some momemts and not lifetime.. I cannot see you dragged towards her..
Arnav smiled..
Arnav: No damm girl can make me fall for her. Be it you.. or her.. I am always in my control.. I write my own fate and destiny cannot change it..
He said that and moved aside to meet some friend.. He was wrong this time.. His heart was actually loosning the control he thought he had in him.. He could not cheat his destiny which was incomplete without her..
Precap for Part 8 - Page 91 Part 7:
Lavanya: Yes ASR.. She is pulling you.. I can feel that.. Well.. No harm in it.. Unless that Pull is just for some momemts and not lifetime.. I cannot see you dragged towards her..
Arnav smiled..
Arnav: No damm girl can make me fall for her. Be it you.. or her.. I am always in my control.. I write my own fate and destiny cannot change it..
He said that and moved aside to meet some friend.. He was wrong this time.. His heart was actually loosning the control he thought he had in him..
Next Evening..
It was 05:00 and Arnav came home. Anjali was surprised seeing him so early at home.. He didnt look good. Something was going round in his mind.. But she knew he would never tell anyone.. Anjali: Chotte.. Good Evening.. You early today..
Arnav sat on the Couch and then shouted..
Arnav: Hari Prasad.. Hari Prasad.. Get me a Coffee.. Now..
Hari Prasad was at some corner of the house doing some other work. As soon as he heard Arnav calling, he left everything that he was doing and went in the kitchen for making Coffee.. No one had the guts in this house to disobey his words or delay him for something.. He took his tie off him and threw it on the table..
Anjali was very much surprised.. He never removed his tie like this outside.. He made sure to do it inside his room only.. What had happened? She sat beside him and then touched his arms.. Anjali: Chotte.. Is there a problem? Why are you soo angry?
Arnav: Di.. Dont ask me anything.. I just need sometime alone.. Allright? Anjali : Chotte.. But..
Arnav: Enough Di.. I think I can never find peace in this house
He got up and moved straight outside again. Anjali was so nervous.. He never spoke to her like that. Asha was watching all this from upstairs.. She too was surprised what happened to him.. She thought of asking him later when his mood will be fine..
It was 06:30 and Khushi came to RM.. Anjali was at the Living room waiting for her.. Khushi: Good Evening Anjali..
Anjali: Ohh Khushi.. Good Evening.. Come..
Asha was sitting next to Anjali. She saw Khushi once. She was wearing a Pink netted Anarkali dress (The one she wore while stopping Arnav at the Airport from going to London). Asha always felt something when she met her.. SHe had something in her which never made her feel unknown.. What was that? Khushi Smiled at Asha and then sat next to Anjali.
Anjali was knitting a Sweater.
Anjali smiled and kept the things aside..
Anjali: Didnt you know I am already a mother? I mean second mother..!! Khushi didnt understand and Asha smiled at her..
Asha: She meant about Arnav.. She just not considers Arnav as her brother but also as her Son. She is his second mother after me.. She is not pregnant.. She is knitting a sweater for him.. Khushi: He is so lucky to have a sister like you.. I wish I too had a sister..
Anjali: So what Khushi.. If you dont have one.. You can consider me as your sister..
Khushi felt nice.. She knew by relation she was her sister in law.. But she didnt wanted to accept that relation so soon. THere was a sudden bang at the door and Arnav Singh Raizada entered in.. He saw Khushi once and then his eyes were turned red.. She too saw him.. But why was so much pissed? Was he angry? Why? He came straight to his mother and then sat beside her..
Asha thought of asking Hari Prasad to get some coffee for him as he didnt have it earlier when he came home..
Anjali: Mumma.. Hari Prasad has gone out to get Vegetables.. I will make Coffee for Chotte.. Asha: Hmm..
Anjali got up but Khushi didnt wanted to sit there so she too asked Anjali if she can join..And Anjali agreed. They both went to the Kitchen and Arnav was getting more furious..
Anjali: Khushi.. So what are your plans after this Project is complete? Khushi: I will return back to Lucknow..
Anjali: Lucknow? Why? You can make your carreer here in Delhi.. Khushi: No Anjali.. Delhi is not made for me.. I will go back.. Anjali: You didnt like Delhi? Thats strange? Can I ask why?
Khushi was lost in all those things that her parents told her on her birthday. She was in no mood to answer what Anjali asked her.. And Anjali could feel her hiding something..
Anjali: Khushi.. Are you Ok? Khushi: Yeah Anjali. I am..
Arnav was watching all this from past 10 minutes,..,He had heard the entire talk between them. Anjali saw him at the kitchen door.
Anjali: Chottee..Your Coffee..
Khushi turned to face the other side not to see him as she clearly remembered her Dads words.. She couldnt dare to fall for this guy.. He was not fit for her love.. Anjali was called by Asha outside and Anjali went out. Khushi too started to walk behind her when he held her hand and dragged her with his Coffee inside the Kitchen again..
Khushi: Aahh!! What are you doing? Leave me..
Arnav kept the Coffee back on the Kitchen slab and pinned her to the side wall.. Not letting her move.. She was trapped in between his arms.. She was damm scared. She knew he was angry on something but this is not the way to behave with strangers..
Khushi was shocked hearing this.. Engaged? What was he saying? Khushi: Enagaged?
Arnav: Now dont act all innocent Miss Khushi .. I came to know from my sources that you engaged to some guy in Lucknow and getting married to him in 2 months..
Khushi was so damm surprised.. What was he saying? How can she get engaged to someone when she is already married to him ? And Sources? Did he mean he asked someone to find her identity? But if So then why did he get the wrong information? He should have known who she is .. What was happeneing here.. She didnt knew.. what to say..
Arnav: Answer me dammit.. Why did you hide this from us?
Khushi thought of answering him. He definately had got some wrong information but it was good for her.. In all ways.. Atleast her true identity was safe..
Khushi pushed him on his chest and he moved back..
Khushi: I dont owe an explanation to you Mr Arnav Singh Raizada.. I am not like your
Girlfriends who need to give you an update on their every damm status.. And I didnt hide it from anyone.. No one asked me about it.. Why would I tell that to anyone here? But Yes now that you know.. I will make sure I send the Marriage invitation here in RM too..
Arnav was damm furious hearing this reply from her..
Arnav moved forward towards her and she moved back and hit the wall again. Arnav: How Dare you Khushi.. !!!
Arnav was about to Pin her again when he heard Anjali coming to the Kitchen. He stopped and then took his Cup and left giving her an angry look once again.
____________________________________________________________________ Precap for Part 8:
Asha: Khushi.. Tomorrow meet Anjali in the morning at AR Office by 10:00. Hope you are free that time.
Khushi: Office? Why Aunty?
Asha: Anjali would give you the details on the fabric selections. You may find it helpful for your Project..
Anjali: Mumma.. Really good.. I never thought of that.. Khushi so see you at AR office tomorrow.. Ok?
Khushi agreed. She didnt even look at Arnav once but he made sure his eyes were only on her when they discussed...
Khushi left and even Anjali went back to her room.. Asha: You still sure you want her in AR office tomorrow?
Arnav: Yeah Mumma.. I am damm sure.. I want to know what this girl is capable of.. Asha: You spying her?
Incase going forward anytime I find her not worthy enough to owe our help, meaning… if I found her ditching us on the name of this so called Project, I would make her life Hell Mumma.. And I promise that
Part 8:
Khushi: I dont owe an explanation to you Mr Arnav Singh Raizada.. I am not like your
Girlfriends who need to give you an update on their every damm status.. And I didnt hide it from anyone.. No one asked me about it.. Why would I tell that to anyone here? But Yes now that you know.. I will make sure I send my Marriage invitation here in RM too..
Arnav was damm furious hearing this reply from her..
Arnav moved forward towards her and she moved back and hit the wall again. Arnav: How Dare you Khushi.. !!!
Arnav was about to Pin her again when he heard Anjali coming to the Kitchen. He stopped and then took his Cup and left giving her an angry look once again.
Anjali saw Arnav moving out of the Kitchen. She came inside and saw Khushi all tensed.. Anjali: Khushi.. You still here? Come out.. What happened?
Khushi: Nothing Anjali .. I was just.. Having some water.. Anjali : Ok.
She and Khushi left out. They came in Anjali's room and started with the Project work. It was 08:00 and Khushi had to leave now.. She and Anjali came down and saw Arnav and Asha talking.. Arnav looked at her once and then continued hhis talk with his mumma..
Khushi: Bye Aunty..
Asha: Khushi.. Tomorrow meet Anjali in the morning at AR Office by 10:00. Hope you are free that time.
Khushi: Office? Why Aunty?
Asha: Anjali would give you the details on the fabric selections. You may find it helpful there.. Anjali: Mumma.. Really good.. I never thought of that.. Khushi so see you at AR office
tomorrow.. Ok?
Khushi agreed. She didnt even look at Arnav once but he made sure his eyes were only on her when they discussed...
Khushi left and even Anjali went back to her room.. Asha: You still sure you want her in AR office tomorrow?
Arnav: Yeah Mumma.. I am damm sure.. I want to know what this girl is capable of.. Asha: You spying her?
Arnav: Not exactly.. But I guess She better get her details out.. Before I find her whole truth.. Incase going forward anytime I find her not worthy enough to owe our help, meaning if I found her ditching us on the name of this so called Project help, I would make her life Hell Mumma.. And I promise that..
the best in that.. Khushi all the while home kept thinking about who gave him the false
information that she was engaged and getting married soon. She reached home and then seeing her in some deep thoughts her Dad came to her..
Shashi: Khushi.. You ok?
Khushi: Dad.. Something happened today.. Shashi: What? What happened?
Khushi told the entire truth that happened in RM with her. And Shashi smiled.. Shashi: Ohh !! So he was so desperate to ask you this.. Cant believe..
Khushi: Dad.. Arent you surprised who gave him this fake information? Shashi: I know who gave it to him
Khushi: What? Who?
Shashi: Khushi.. Yesterday he was in a Party and one of my close friend too was there.. Arnav called someone asking to get your identity details and my friend heard that. He told me about it.. And then what.. I only had to bribe
Arnav's source to create a fake identity and hide from him and his family how you are related to them.
Khushi: What? You mean.. You made up this story of my fake engagement? Why Dad? You could have told something else.. Why this?
Shashi: So that he stops coming closer to you knowing that you are someone's else property.. Now Dont Argue..
Just go to your room and rest..
Khushi didnt like what her dad did... In one way it was good that she was safe from him but somewhere deep down her heart she was feeling bad that she was ditching her own in laws.. Next Day: AR OFFICE..
Khushi was in a Dark Blue Anarkali Dress (The one she wore in Yesterdays Episode for Raksha Pooja). She came inside the Office. THis was the first time she visited it.. Everywhere people were so damm busy working... She found Lavanya at some corner desk talking to a girl. Lavanya saw her and then she came towards her..
Lavanya: Hi Khushi.. What are you doing here? Khushi: Anjali is supposed to meet me here..
Lavanya: Ohh Ok.. She has not come yet.. So you can sit and wait for her..
Khushi sat on the nearby couch and Arnav saw her sitting from his Cabin upstairs.. He was wearing a light green shirt and a Black trouser..( The one he wore during their first Rain Hug..) Arnav called the Receptionist..
Arnav: Get her in the Designs room.. Receptionist : Yes Sir..
The Receptionist came to Khushi and told her to wait inside the Designs room. She smiled and followed the Receptionist to the room.
Receptionist: Madam.. You wait inside Anjali Maam would be coming soon. Khushi: Ok... Thanks..
Khushi came inside.. This room had many Statues placed inside it and there were various types of Fabrics in the room. She touched some fabrics and no doubt she liked them. AR had their own reputation for providing the best Fabric and Designs in Fashion Industry.. The door opened and he came inside.. She saw him and was surprised..
Khushi: You? What are you doing here?
Arnav: This is My Office Khushi.. I am the Boss here.. Hope you didnt forget that..!! Khushi: I know that.. Where is Anjali?
Arnav: She is not coming..
Khushi: What? But she told me to come here..
Arnav: Yeah.. She has some other work. But I wont let her down. If she had promised you, I can fulfil it.. I would tell you about the Designs..
Khushi: No.. I mean.. I dont want to know if its not from her..
Khushi was about to move towards the door to go out but he held her hand and then pinned her to the door. She tried getting free but she couldnt.
Khushi: What the Hell is this? Stop troubling me like this. Arnav: Where is your engagement ring Khushi?
Khushi was little taken aback from this question from him. Did he notice she wasnt wearing any ring on her finger?
Khushi: Its at home..
Arnav: Why? I suppose you dont have to remove that..
Khushi: It was too tight.. So I removed it.. But why are you bothered? Arnav: Whats your Fiancee's name?
He pushed her more towards the door and she had almost no space left to even heave her chest now.. She was breathless. He was so damm close to her..
Khushi: Why..?? Your sources didnt tell you his name?
Arnav: I asked What is your Fiancee's name Khushi? Dont make me repeat that again..
Khushi was so damm nervous to reply something to this.. What name was she supposed to tell him? There was a sudden knock at the door and she thanked God for that.. Arnav left her and then opened the door. It was Lavanya..
