Part 2

Arnav entered RM. His palm's clenched to his side, eyes emitting fire. How dare she give him the look? How dare she? She was looking as if he had said something outrages, as if he is the one at fault. The nerve of that girl! Trying to make him guilty when she is the one guilty here and trying to act all innocent. Why is that everyone loves here? Can't they see the real face of that girl behind the faade of her loving and caring self. She can go to hell for all he cares! He is just tolerating her for his sister. Once his Di and her baby are safe and sound, he will show her, her real place. For now she is better off to Gupta house. That way he didn't have to keep an eye on that girl and her bas***d of a lover.

Anjali Jha saw her brother enter the house, taking long strides towards stairs.

"Chhote? You here? where is Khushi ji?" Anjali called out to her brother who now stood near the foot of the stairs.

Arnav looked at his Di.

"Di, she is still at Gupta house. She wants to live there for some more days. I have some important deal to look over in Mumbai. So I have to leave for Mumbai today. Let her spent some more days at Gupta house" Arnav said to his Di. He don't want that girl to be near her sister in his absence. God knows what she will do if he is not there t keep an eye on her.

Anjali looked his brother, confused.

"Mumbai? Hmm...ok? ... For how many days?" Anjali asked.

"For two days Di! And I will take your leave. My flight is in two hours, so I need to pack my things" and with that Arnav strode upstairs.

...

Arnav came down with a small travel bag in his hand. He searched for his Di. He found her on the couch, with a phone in her hand , trying to call someone.

"Di, I am leaving!" Arnav called out to his sister.

"Oh! Ok. Have a safe journey Chhote and come back soon." Anjali said and Arnav again saw her trying to call someone.

"Whom are you calling, Di?" Arnav asked looking at his sister.

"Hmm...Chhote I was trying to call Khushi ji. She isn't picking my call" Anjali said to his brother.

A little concern flickered through Arnav's eyes but he immediately composed himself. He is concern for a girl who is trying to doom his sister's life?

"Don't worry, Di! She has her whole family to look after her" and with that parting words Arnav left for airport

Anjali looked at her brother's retreating figure, confused. Now-a-days her brother is becoming impossible to understand. After his abrupt marriage, he has become more impossible. She no longer understands what he does, why he does!

...

"You know, Arnav ji? I love your eyes!" Khushi said, looking at her Arnav ji's eyes, lying on the bed with him. Both of them facing eachother, their head on their respective pillows.

"Really? What do you like about it?" Khushi heard Arnav ji ask her.

Khushi touched Arnav ji's eyes with her soft fingers. Trailing her finger from one eye lid to other.

"I love everything about it. They way it always gives away the every emotion you feel here" Khushi said keeping her hand on his heart.

"Your eyes gives me the way to your heart. I love reading your eyes. And now I can only see love for me. The love which I want to see in your eyes" Khushi said looking in his eyes.

She dragged herself close to him and threw her arms around him, desperately clinging to him.

"I don't want to see that hate again in your eyes. Please don't hate me ever. I can't take that this time. This time I will die. I will die. Promise me? Please?" Khushi clung to him, fearfully.

"I will do whatever you want? Because I am your Arnav ji. Whatever you want!" she heard him say against her ear.

Smiling Khushi pulled back.

"Yes! You are my Arnav ji. Just my. No one can take you away from me!" Khushi said with a possessive hold on her Arnav ji's hand and brought it close to her heart. No one can take him away from her.

...

Arnav walked inside RM. It was 2 days since he had revealed the secret of their marriage and was been to Mumbai. And now he is back to Delhi. He entered the living room and what he saw stopped his breath for a second.

"Di!"

The bag from his hand fell on the floor and he ran towards his Di.

"Di! What happened! Why are you crying?!what happened" Arnav asked his Di as his Di threw herself in her Chhote's arms and cried.

"Di! Please tell me what happened?!" Arnav asked to his Di. Has she came to know about his cheat of a husband? Has she come to know about Shyam and Khushi? he should have not left them here alone. He gritted his teeth. They are going to pay for this. And pay very hard.

"Chhote...Shyam ji...Shyam ji...he cheated on me, Chhote...he is cheating on me...on me from years..." Anjali sobbed against her Chhote's chest.

Oh! So he was right! She knows about the two love birds. But...but...from years?

"Di...Di what do you mean?" Arnav asked confused.

Anjali pulled back from Arnav.

"He was...he was, cheating on me with her assistant from years, Chhote. He ...he is a cheater...a lying scum...he lies to me for every single thing...yesterday...yesterday I called him to ask where he is...he told that...that he is with a client...but ...but he was with his assistant ..in... in a hotel" and Anjali again broke down.

Arnav stood there, dumbfounded. But...but Shyam told that he loves Khushi...and he will leave his Di...for Khushi. Was he cheating on Khushi too?

"Di" a voice broke Arnav's thought.

He looked to his right. It was payal.

Payal came and stood in front of Anjali.

"Di, I want to tell something ...about... about Shyam ji" Payal said to Anjali. Payal had tried to say the whole truth of Shyam from the moment whole family had known the truth of their loving damaad' but she was unable to draw the strength to speak. But now seeing that Arnav ji is back to support his Di, she wants to come out with all the truth. She don't want to hide anything from her family. And now as everyone knows true colors of their Damaad , she has no reason to hide this truth from them.

"Shyam ji...Shyam ji...use to live ...live at our place...our place as a paying guest...and..." And with that Payal started telling the whole truth.

How Shyam rescued Khushi from the goons. How he entered in the good books of her Buaji. How Buaji tried to marry Khushi to Shyam ji. Khushi's resistance. Knowing his truth. Khushi breaking off the engagement with him. Khushi trying to tell the truth but resisting because of Di's happiness. Shyam's constant following Khushi. Everything! Payal came out clear with every detail.

After completing she looked at everyone. Everyone was stood shocked, not knowing what to say.

Arnav stood there, nonplused, unable to draw oxygen in his lungs. He felt all the strength being drained out from his body. He mind zeroed on all the hurtful things he had said and done to Khushi. What...what had he done? He ...he belived that Shyam...and not gave a chance to Khushi to even explain herself? How?...Why?...his mind stopped processing. He looked at his Di, she was crying but he was unable to hear her cry. He looked at other. They all were asking something to Payal but he was unable to hear.

He felt again his Di in his arms. But this time, his hand remained to his side. But he heard what his Di was saying.

"That's...that's why you married Khushi so abruptly. To...to keep her away from that man" Anjali cried in her brother's arms.

Arnav heard his Di. Yes! He married Khushi because of Shyam...but not...not to keep her away from him...but to...to keep his Di safe. And to hurt Khushi because ...because he thought that...she too...she too was involved with that Shyam.

Arnav pulled her sister away. And what Anjali saw in her brother's eyes, shot a chill down her spine.

She cupped his face.

"Chhote, what happened?" Anjali asked looking into her brother's eyes, fearfully.

"I ...Di...I ..." Arnav fumbled, not knowing what to say.

"Khoon Bhari taang! Ee sab pahale kahe naahi bataya? Kis din ka intezaar kar rahi thi?" Mami asked to her daughter-in-law.

"Maa! She explained it! She thought Jija ji will change. And moreover, she was right. No one would have believed the Guptas. I myself would have not believed that. He was...he was...such a good actor" Aakash let out with disgust for the man whom he called Jija ji.

"Maa ji, I know we are at fault for not telling the truth. But we wanted to give him a chance for Di, for her baby. But after yesterday , I don't think that, that man will ever change." Payal said. Aakash put a hand around Payal's shoulder to support her.

Through all the conversation, Anjali stared at her brother. She saw all the emotions flicker through his eyes. He remained immotile. And that frightened her. She don't want to believe what she was reading in his eyes.

"Chhote, look at me. Talk to me. What happened? Tell me." Anjali asked, in a trembling voice, frightened to her wits.

Arnav looked at his Di. He looked in her pleading eyes.

"Di...I...I...married Khushi...married her forcefully. I ...I threatened her into this marriage...I...I thought she ...she had an...affair with Shyam...So...to...to keep her away...to save your marriage...I ...I threatened her ...threatened her to marry me..." Arnav blurted. Each word taking a worlds strength to form.

"What!"

Arnav and Anjali heard the voice and turned towards it.

Payal stood there, shocked. Arnav ji threatened her sister? And she...she thought...she thought that...he knows the thruth...she thought he married her to put a full stop to Shyam's advances towards Khushi.

"Hey Devi Maiya!" Payal turned towards Aakash.

"Aakash ji, I want to meet Khushi. Please. I want to...please..." Payal , without waiting for Akash' s reply started moving towards the door.

Precap---

"You, bas***d! What have you done to my sister?! How can you push her to this extent?! Bring my sister back!! Go and bring my sister back? I want my same Khushi back! You! You know?! There's no difference between you and Shyam?! For me you are guiltier than Shyam!! You know why?! Because whatever your scumbag of a Jija ji did, whom you believed blindly, your sister is still sitting in front of you, sound and safe. But ...but whatever you did to my sister? You ...you broke...you broke her so hard that...that... Go!!...go bring my sister back. I want my sister back. And if can't!! than I will just do what you have threatened my sister for. I will leave your brother. I leave your brother!!! I will leave you house!!! Just go away from my sight!! Go bring my old Khushi back!!! Go!!!!!" Payal shouted hysterically at Arnav, her cheeks drenched with uncontrollable tears.
