The characters Arnav and Khushi belong to 4Lions show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon. However this story and idea is mine. Even if it somehow is similar to yours, please be assured I have not plagiarised it. Please do not copy my work.
(LOL I know its not even good enough to be copied)
Aarav stormed into the Raizada Mansion. He felt like strangling someone, preferably someone named Shyam Manohar Jha.
Aarav, now a 15 year old teenager, was really protective over his Mamma, Khushi. His mother may be a little, or a completely, crazy but he loved her more than anyone else.
Aarav was talking to his cousin Asha, Aakash and Payal's daughter, who told him something about a person named Shyam. She heard her parents talking about how a Shyam hurt his mom. Now there was a rule with Aarav, No One Hurts His Mother. It doesn't matter if the person hurt her in the past, he is going to make them pay.
He was ASR's son. Both dad and son couldn't not see tears in Khushi's eyes.
"Papa, Mama. Where are you?" Arnav roared in anger. His hands were itching to wipe his mom's pain and hurt Shyam.
Khushi and Arnav ran downstairs to meet their son. In her heart, Khushi could feel that her baby boy needed her.
"Aaru Baby, What's wrong? You okay? Why are you so angry?" Khushi blasted questions at her son. She was having a mini heart attack thinking about what bothered her son.
"Who is Shyam?"
If there was one thing Aarav learned from his dad is to not twist words like her mother's jalebis.
Khushi and Arnav shared a worried glance. They were silently communicating their confusion on how Aarav found out.
"Aarav, What..." Arnav started but Aarav interrupted him.
"Dad, No half truths. I want to know the truth." With a ASR perfected glare, he started at his parents. When Aarav wanted something, there was no stopping him.
Khushi walked over to her son and soothed him, "Shhh Mera bacha, We will tell you about him but who told you about him?"
Khushi, gently, ran her hand over his gelled hair. Sighing, Aarav sat on the couch. His anger was defeated from his mom's loving touch. Arnav joined his wife in soothing their son.
"Mamma, Asha heard Chachu and Masi talking about Shyam and that he hurt you. And No one hurts my Mamma," A spark was lighted in his eyes when he mentioned hurt and Khushi in the same sentence, "Maama, Papa, Please tell me the truth."
"Aarav beta, I promise I will tell you everything but why don't you change first," Khushi said while caressing his hair lovingly. With a resigned nod, Aarav gingerly walked upstairs leaving his parents alone.
Taking a seat beside Khushi, Arnav whispered, "What will we tell him?"
Worried, Khushi clutched Arnav's hands, "Arnavji, He can't bear the entire truth. What will we.."
"Shhh Khushi," Arnav soothed while wiping her tears, "No more tears warna your ladla will beat me up."
"Hawww My ladla learned his anger from his father. Pura ka pura ASR ban gaya hai woh." Khushi shot glares at Arnav, however inside she was happy that her son was like his father. The best man in the world.
Rolling his eyes, Arnav retorted, "Dil mein toh laddoo ' wait ' jalebi phoot rahe hai ke woh mere jaisa hai." Wearing a proud smirk, Arnav pulled his collars; causing a smile to erupt on Khushi's face. However the smile dimmed as soon as it appeared. Resting her head against his shoulder, she sighed.
"Khushi, don't worry," Arnav reassured, "We will tell him the truth. He is old enough to understand the circumstances. We will leave the details for another day."
Raising her head, she gazed deeply into his eyes, "Will we tell him about our contract marriage?"
Arnav winced. He, sure as hell, didn't want to. A tear forced its way out from his eyes.
"He will hate me forever," Arnav whispered while tightly holding onto Khushi as if she would disappear. Unable to his pain, she tightly hugged him while murmuring reassuring words into his ear. He is our son Arnavji. He will hate you like I did. My love was illusioned as hate. My love was expressed as hate. Infact your love was hidden in hate. Waisa hi humara pyaar hai. Humara nafrat wala pyaar jiska koi naam nahi hai. OUR son will always love you, no matter the circumstance.
Getting hold of his feelings, Arnav broke out of her hug and asked, "So what do we tell him?"
Gathering her wits, Khushi solemnly said, "Everything about Shyaam"
--
"Papa, Mamma, Can I come in?" Aarav asked before entering his parents room. Instinctively, he knew they were discussing about his demand for the truth. After receiving an affirmation, he entered hesitantly. Giving his parents a small smile, he sat across them.
Aarav was perceptive like his dad. It is a necessary trait required for business. You always need to know your client is thinking and their body language. His parents were holding hands, and he would literally see silent words and strength passing through their connection.
"Shyaam ..." Khushi's voice cracked, "He was my fiance and Di's husband."
Khushi quickly closed her eyes as if she didn't want to see his reaction. However, Khushi being Khushi, peeked with one eye open as she couldn't handle the curiousity.
"WHAT THE..?" Aarav was shell shocked. How can this happen? That bast... "Maama, I want the entire story...Now," Aarav commanded which fueled Arnav's anger.
Narrowing his eyes, Arnav spoke chillingly, "Don't speak to your mother that way."
Resting her hand on Arnav's bicep, while cupping Aarav's cheek with her other hand, Khushi managed to calm her boys down.
"You two, Father and Son. Just need an excuse to get angry.Aarav and Arnav, while I say the story; I want No Words. Understand." Khushi narrowed her eyes at her boys. And they knew, Never Mess With Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada.
Aarav stood up and hugged Khushi, "I love you Mamma."
Pleasantly surprised, Khushi whispered her love back. Tears and happiness in his eyes, Arnav saw His Family and joined the family hug. I Love My Family.
Breaking the hug, Khushi continued with the horrid tale.
Saved me from goons
Helped me get a job
Stayed at our house as PG
His sweet-sickening words
Forcefully got engaged after Babuji's stroke
Saw Shyaam/Anjali at pooja and slapped him in privacy
Blackmailed us in the name of Payal's marriage
How she tried to tell Anjali but failed every time
Arnav found out the truth of Shyaam who tried to tell Anjali but she turned out to be pregnant
Married Khushi to protect the ones he loved most
Shyaam manipulating the minds of everyone
How Arnav was kidnapped
Khushi, with help of NK and maami, saved him
Revealed the truth to everyone and kicked him out of the house
Him sneaking into the house and manipulating Anjali to fulfill his greedy needs
His attempt to get rid of Anjali's rajkumari
Anjali's miscarriage
Shyaam still feeding lies to everyone
Truth revealed to Anjali who kicked her husband out
Pin Drop Silence
Aarav sat shocked silent, absorbing the truth. He couldn't believe that his mamma, dad and bua went through so much pain. They suffered through so much pain yet they refused to be defeated from life. And Shyaam Aarav mentally growled, That man...devil will pay for the pain he caused. He will pay for the tears in his mother's eyes. He will...
"Aarav beta," Khushi interrupted his thoughts, "Are .. Are you okay?"
Khushi clasped Arnav's hands tighter as she asked the question. She was worried for her son's temper. He was the duplicate copy of ASR. Aarav could see the worry in his mother's eyes and took a cleansing breath.
Walking towards her and kneeling down, he whispered, "Mamma...I love you."
"I know beta..."
Resting his head in her lap, Aarav blinked his tears away. Gently caressing his hair, Khushi whispered soothing words. Her son did not show his true emotions to anyone but his parents.
"Beta, your bua and I are fine. Everything is over. Shyaam is not in our lives. Everything is okay. We are safe. I am safe," Khushi kept reassuring her son, knowing he was shattered by the truth. And he did not even know the entire truth.
Gently holding her hands, Aarav, determinedly said, "You are the strongest person I know. I don't know how you..."
Not finding words to explain his feelings, Aarav just hugged her. Smiling, Khushi hugged his back. His hug communicated his feelings which were failed by words.
Arnav just smiled at the mother-son duo. His family. No one can hurt them now. No one can hurt Khushi now, she has two ASR's at her beck and call.
--
Aarav was alone in his room, thinking about his mother and the difficulties she faced through. How could she survive so much hatred? His mother may have not said it but he knew that when everyone found out the truth about Shyaam and Khushi; he was certain that they blamed her. She was the strongest person he knew.
Knocking lightly, Arnav entered Aarav's room.
"Aarav, you free,"
Calling his father in, they both sat on the sofa with silence heavy in the room.
"Woh..." Arnav and Aarav said at the same time. Sharing a small chuckle, they grinned. Arnav gestured Aarav to speak first.
"Woh Dad, Is Shyaam...?"
Understanding the unspoken question, Arnav answered reassuringly, "Yeah. He is gone from out life. He was in Delhi Jail but with my connections, I got him transferred to the jail in America. He won't bother us...Ever."
Once again, silence echoed in the room.
"Aarav, I am sorry. Shyaam is not the only one that hurt Khushi. The entire family, including me, hurt Khushi...caused her so much pain. We...I" Arnav's voice cracked, "I hurt her so much dammit. I pretended to hate her. Made her cry. Made her want to kill..."
"Dad" Aarav said in a shocked tone. His dad. His mom and dad are the epitome of true love.
Losing words to explain himself, Arnav sat silent waiting to be hated by Aarav.
"Dad, I don't hate you. I hate Shyaam. If I get my hands on him..." With a growl, Aarav continued, "If I had my way, he would be dead meat. But dad, you...you love mom so much. Mom always told me that you pretended to hate her but inside, you loved her. You loved her so much dammit. And as mamma always says, only the inside matters. Appearance is not always the reality. You loved her. You caused her pain but you were the one to take away the pain. You were the first one to hate her but you were also the first one to prove her innocence. You were the first one who caused tears but you were the first one to wipe them. You made mistakes but you also fixed them. That is what is important. Am I angry that you hurt Mamma? Hell Yes. I am damn pissed. Am I going to hate you for it? I want to dad but I can't. Because I know...I know you love her more than anyone."
Both, father and son, held tears in their eyes. Arnav couldn't believe that his son grew up. His son was grown up and now giving him assurances. It felt like days ago when he was the one to scare the monsters away from the closet. When he fooled his son to eat his food. When his son was just his little baby.
After sharing an emotional smile and a manly hug, Arnav said, "Khushi, you can come in."
Shocked, Khushi froze, "Main woh...woh..main bus. Uhhh I just came here. I didn't hear anything. I promise."
Sharing a smile at the adorable Khushi, the senior and junior ASR wrapped their lifeline in a tight hug. The two ASRs and one KKGSR shared a family hug.
Hamesha and Forever...
