Part 3

Payal entered the Gupta house with Aakash beside her. She saw her Amma. She was chopping vegetables. She wandered her eyes around the house, looking for Khushi. But her sister was nowhere to be seen.

Garima Gupta was softly humming a song while chopping the vegetables when she saw her daughter entering the house.

"Aree, Payal?Aakash Babua? Tum yaha? Come inside!" Garima welcomed her daughter and son-in-law.

Payal came near her Amma, her eyes still searching for her sister.

"Amma, where is Khushi?" Payal asked to her Amma.

Payal looked at her Amma for an answer but before her Amma can answer her, she heard the other voice.

"Aree, uu Sanka Devi ke bare mein toh puchoo hi nahi. Aaj kaal sirf Kamre main hi baand rahati hai. Sirf Khaana khaane ki liye bahar aati hai. Bas! Maharaani ko bas kamre main rahne do, kuch kaam mat bola. Jab dekho kamre main khee khee karti rahti hai. Hum jaante hai ki shaadi ke baad sab thode badal jaate hai par itna? Aur lagta hai, Arnav Babua ko bhi kuch kaam naahi hai, isisliye phonewa pe lage rehte hai iss pagaliya ke saath. " Buaji started with ranting. Every time she happens to cross Khushi's door, she either hears murmuring or giggling noises.

"Phone pe? But but Buaji...Arnav ji toh...toh do din se Mumbai main the" Payal said, confused.

"Than what Payaliya? Mumbai main phonewa nahi chalta ka?" Buaji raised her eyebrow.

"No.I...mean...I mean why will she talk to him...I mean...I will ...I will just come...I will meet her" Payal stammered confused and moved towards Khushi's room.

Payal knocked at her sister's room.

...

"Tcchh...now who is there...?" Khushi said, annoyed.

"Arnav ji, I will just come, ok?" after getting a nod from her Arnav ji, she got up from the bed to open the door.

...

"Jiji!" Khushi jumped in her sister's arm.

"I am so happy to see you after so long, Jiji!" Khushi said excitedly, too happy to see her sister.

"I am happy too, Khushi!" Payal hugged her sister back.

Payal pulled back and taking her sister's hand, she took him towards the bed.

"Khushi? You know...hmm...Everyone ...Everyone at home knows about Shyam ji's truth" Payal said to her sister and looked at Khushi. Payal's brow frowned looking at her sister. She was..she was smiling at her?

"Khushi?" Payal cupped her sister's face with her palm.

"They can do whatever they want, Jiji? I don't want to listen anything about them"Khushi replied, lest interested.

Payal looked at her sister, confused. What?

"Khushi? what are you saying?" Payal asked.

"I don't want to know about anything, Jiji! I love my Arnav ji and he is with me" Khushi said, smiling on the last part.

"What?! He is with you?! But...But Khushi he was in Mumbai from two days. How he can be with you?!" Payal asked. what IS happening?

Khushi smiled at her sister and replied.

"He is Arnav Singh Raizada. ASR. The one with me is MY Arnav ji" Khushi said possessively.

Payal looked at Khushi, shocked!

"Khushi? ...What...what are you saying?...have you gone mad?...what are you saying?!" Payal chided her sister.

"Yes, Jiji! My Arnav ji. He loves me. He doesn't say hurtful things to me. He doesn't hurt me. He doesn't threatens to leave me. He had promised that he will never leave me. He loves me. I want only him. he is MY Arnav ji" Khushi said to her sister, softly, as if sharing a secret.

Payal immediately got up from the bed, scared to wits with Khushi's weird behavior. She put her hand on her sister's shoulder and dragged her to stand on her feet.

"Khushi! listen to me! And listen carefully! There is only one Arnav ji and he is at RM now. Do you get me?! There's no one other than him. And he was in Mumbai from two day!" Payal shouted at her sister.

Khushi jerked her Jiji's hand away from her shoulder.

"I don't want to understand anything! I want my Arnav ji and he is with me? Go from here! I don't want to hear anything!" Khushi replied in the same tone. Why can't they leave her? She don't want to know anything. Her Arnav ji is with her and she doesn't want anything else.

"Khushi, sweetheart! Try to understand,please! Arnav ji is now at RM. How can he be with you?" Payal asked in an almost pleading tone.

"I am not talking about that man Jiji. I am talking about Arnav ji. My Arnav ji! My Arnav ji, who saved me. Who loves me. Who cares for me." Khushi replied, desperate to make her Jiji understand her point.

Payal took a deep breath.

"Ok! So where is he? Where?" Payal asked, roaming her eyes in the room.

"He doesn't comes in front of anyone. He is MY Arnav ji. He comes only in front of me." Khushi said to her Jiji, looking at her.

Payal looked at Khushi, cold feet. Alarmed by Khushi's behavior.

"Khushi! You are coming with me! Come!" Payal took her sister's hand in her's and started towards the door but stopped has she felt her hand being jerked away.

"I said I don't want to go anywhere! I am not going anywhere!" Khushi shouted.

Payal turned to look at her sister, who was breathing heavy. Composing herself, Payal went towards Khushi.

"Khushi, you will not listen to your Jiji. You are my Khushi,na? Will you not listen to me? Please come with me" Payal spoke tenderly, keeping a affectionate hand on Khushi's cheek.

Khushi jerked Payal's hand away from her.

"I said I will not come with you! I don't want anyone. I have MY Arnav ji! You go from here!" Khushi said, irritated by her Jiji's constant nudging her to go with her.

Tears prickled Payal's eyes by listening to Khushi's rude words. Her sister don't want to be with her? And all this because of that man! Controlling her tears, Payal opened the door and exited Khushi's room.

Payal looked towards Aakash ji through her red eyes.

Aakash, seeing her wife coming out of the room, stood up from the chair.

"Amma, hum chalte hai. Hum kisi aur din aayenge!" and with that parting words Payal immediately left the house with her husband.

Garima and Madhumati ji looked at the retreating figure of Payal, confused by her behavior.

...

Khushi saw her Jiji leaving her room. She turned around and went to her bed.

"I don't want to be rude to Jiji. I don't want! But she...she wants me to leave you and live with that man. I don't want to go to him. I want to be with you only you. why isn't she understanding that?" Khushi spoke as tears made their way out of her eyes.

Khushi felt a hand on her cheek, wiping the tears away. She looked at the hand, her Arnavn ji's hand and then heard him speak.

"It's ok, Khushi! No one is going to take me away from you. I will be always there with you. I love you!"

Khushi brought him close to her.

"I ...I don't want to go near that man. He hates me. He told he will leave me after six month gets over. He thinks I am cheating on him. I just want to be with you. You love me. You trust me. You will never leave me. I love you. I love you." Khushi confessed, clinging to her Arnav ji.

"I will not leave you. I will be with you as long as you want me to. I will do what you want me to. I too love you. Don't cry." She heard him console her.

Smiling Khushi pulled back.

"I know! I know you will not leave me. That's why I don't want to leave you" Khushi said looking in her Arnav ji s eyes.

...

Anjali looked at her brother, who was seated on the couch beside her, not uttering a word. But she had some questions to ask. There is something that's bothering her. She dragged herself near him and kept a hand on his shoulder.

"Chhote, you...you...told that you were not aware of the truth...that ...that you thought she is having an affair with Shyam ji than...than how is that Khushi agreed for the marriage?" Anjali asked, already afraid of the answer.

Arnav looked at his sister through pained eyes. swallowing the big lump in his throat he prepared himself to answer his Di.

"Di...I...I told her that...that...if she will not...not agree...to marry me than I will ...I will stop Aakash and her Jiji's marriage. And she...she agreed for her jiji." Arnav confessed his glorious' deed.

Anjali gaped at her brother's confession.

She was about to say something when she heard a loud gasp from afar.

Payal stood there shocked listening to her Jethji. He had used her as a pawn to destroy her sister's life. And still her sister loves this man. Loves him so much that his hatred had pushed her to an extend where she is denying the difference between real and an imaginary one. Where she wants to live in her imaginary world, where her Arnav ji loves her, trusts her.

With tears of anger for the man seating in front of her and helplessness on her sister's condition, she strode towards the man who is the cause of the entire problem.

"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 will leave your brother!!! I will leave your 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.

"What?...What do you mean Payal?...What happened...What happened to Khushi?" Arnav asked, breathless.

And then the a loud noise resounded the whole floor.

Arnav's hand instantly went to his heated cheek. He moved his eyes up to see Payal, her eyes emitting fire at him and breathing heavy.

"Payal!!"

Aakash strode towards Payal and caught her by her shoulder.

"Payal! What are you doing? Have you lost it?! How can you slap Bhai!!" Aakash shouted at Payal.

Payal jerked Aakash's hand away from her.

"Don't touch me! The nerve of that man?!! Asking me what happened to Khushi!! After putting her in this situation and then asking me what happened?!! How can he do that to my sister?!! She...she told me to go away from here...she told that to me, Aakash ji. I will never forgive this man! Never!!"

Payal again turned towards Arnav ji.

"I don't know why she loves you!! I don't know how she can still love you after where you have put her!! Just go and bring my sister back! I said go!!!!" Payal shouted on the top of her voice.

Everyone looked shocked at the ragging Payal.

But Payal was not finished yet. She again went towards Arnav and caught hold of his collar.

"Aap ko kya lagta hai, Mr.Raizada?! ke sab log aap ke tarah hote hai?!! Paison ke liye kuch bhi karenge?! How can you think so cheap of my sister?!! How?! Why she loves you?! why? " Payal's hand fell to her side, exhausted my all the shouting.

Aakash went towards her and moved her away from Arnav.

"Payal, it's enough. You can't shout at Bhai like this. You have to understand him too" Aakash spoke to Payal and got a disbelieving look from Payal.

"I should try to understand him, Aakash ji? Him? Aap kya karte Aakash ji agar aapki Di ke saath koi aisa karta?! You would have tried to understand him?! Tell me? How can you say this? Aaapne nahi dekha Aakash ji. She has ...she has created a fantasy world and is denying to come out of that. How ...how can I ...how can I understand him, Aakash ji?"

Aakash enveloped Payal in his arms.

"She will be alright, Payal. Shhh...she will be alright.." Aakash consoled her wife.

Arnav stood there looking at Payal, crying in Aakash's arms. Khushi! He HAS to meet her. He will have to see her.

Precap----

"Khushi...I am...I am your...I am your Arnav ji..." Arnav rasped. His voice barely audible.

"No! Go from here! You are NOT MY Arnav ji. You are ASR, who will throw me away from his life after the completion of six months. Go from here! I don't need you anymore!!" Khushi shouted at him. why can't everyone leave her alone with her Arnav ji.

"Khushi...but...I am your Arnav ji...Payal...Payal told that...that you love me..." Arnav tried to touch her shoulder but she jerked it away.

"No! I don't love you. I love my Arnav ji!! I love MY Arnav ji not YOU!!"
