Sitting in his lavish cabin he replayed the video again and again, his heart beating in irregular speed looking at how beautiful and innocent she looked as she fell into his arms, when he heard knock and signed the person to come inside.
Aman: ASR! I don't think she was sent by any rivals, I tried asking but answer is same she came here by mistake.
ASR: Leave! I'll handle myself and Aman, I need her full information within twelve hours. Aman nodded and left.
-
Arnav entered inside the dark room and shocked to see her unconscious on floor. Carrying her hurriedly he laid her on the king- sized bed and sprinkled water on her face. He looked at her with baited breath as she scrunched open her eyes only to get lost in them momentarily just like few hours ago but it didn't took much time for ASR to overpower.
ASR: Get up! He ordered startling her who was trying to recognize her surroundings.
ASR: Khushi. This is your name right?
Khushi: Ji (Yes)
Please let me go. I didn't came here with any bad intention, I just wanted to meet Abhishek ji so I can talk with him and ask his parents to not ask this huge dowry.
ASR: And you want me to believe?
Khushi: Devi Maiyya ki Kasam, I am not lying. She looked so cute as she spoke pinching her throat and her red nose with sobbing that he can't himself but to adore this child like creature.
ASR: Who is exactly this Abhishek? And you were going to get married?
Khushi: No. My jiji is getting married with Abhishek ji tomorrow but his family suddenly demanded more dowry. My babuji was going to keep his shop on lease but jiji and I don't want him to keep his shop on stake which is our family's only source of income. So I came here to make Abhishek ji understand to he can talk with his parents.
ASR: Abhishek Bhatt? Khushi nodded.
ASR: then I would suggest you to call off this wedding yourself because Abhishek is not a good guy and his family's greed could never end. Looking at her confused stare he answered, 'He works for my company.'
Khushi: but jiji? And what will society say?
ASR: Either think about your sister or society.
Khushi(nodding): but please can I go now?
ASR(nodded): My driver will drop you and if I found you were lying it wouldn't be good for you. Khushi nodded and Arnav calls his driver to drop her back to home as it was late.

Few days Later
Khushi was ready in her designer Red Lehanga for marriage. That day she was questioned when she came back, fortunately her family believed her and Payal's (her sister) marriage was called off by them and nobody blamed her for that, society was a exception.
Tonight exactly after a month, it's her marriage with none other then ASR. Tonight Khushi Gupta will become Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada. That day when she met them she had instantly felt the pull towards him but never she dare to thought she can actually have him for herself, they were poles apart. But her Devi Maiyya had other plans because exactly after three days she found him in her home with his family asking for her hand. Her Bua ji and Amma was elated, babuji also agreed after initial surprise, which family wouldn't want her daughter to get a Prince.
She looked as Payal came to take her to Mandap, she felt bad because she is getting married before her elder sister but Raizada's wanted this marriage to take place soon. They have even promised to find a suitable groom for her, Payal didn't wanted her to deny this good relations, she was happy & Khushi had no reason to deny, somewhere her heart also pulling her to him.
Arnav looked mesmerized as Khushi came and stood beside him, he knew she is beautiful the moment he had seen her for first time and tonight this sinful Beauty will be his for forever. Khushi sat beside him shyly aware of his intense gaze and soon all rituals was performed.
Few Months Later
Life is not a fairytale and it has been proved to her again and again when her parents died, when her relatives cursed her but she has always lived life with positive spirit, her masi adopted and raised her teaching importance of love and relationship and she did just that spread happiness around her forgetting any negativity around her.
Smiling at something Anjali di said teasing me, I smiled absent minded, I thought how wrong she is. I also used to think how lucky I am when I was getting married to Arnav ji but foolish of me that I dared to dream of fairy tale again. Di thinks Arnav ji don't let me go anywhere because he loves Me and fears to lose me but truth is even unknown to me.
Everything was bless my grahapravesh when Arnav ji entered inside carrying me to our first night when we became one in all sense but something changed after two days when I supposed to go my maternal home, I got to know that my family don't want to keep any relation with me henceforth, they're happy that they got rid of orphan, I was shocked and in denial to believe but Arnav ji shocked me more saying I shouldn't meet them from now on and that was the just start after that I was almost caged inside the walls of his house where he shifted within one month of our marriage.
Whenever anyone from his family comes to meet me, I smile because that's the only time I have someone to talk other than these four walls.
Arnav ji loves her, well that's what she also thought earlier but now she feels nothing, only time she feels loved is when he made love to her, no words of love exchanged but in the darkness of night his actions make her feel loved. Bidding bye to Anjali di, she left for kitchen with a sigh, Arnav ji will be back soon..
-
Arnav looked at Khushi as he came back who was looking at TV lost. He kept his bag on the table and as expected Khushi got up with the voice. She welcomed him with smile taking his coat & bag but he didn't missed the tear she wiped before turning to him.
Same night
Arnav dropped numerous soft kisses as he made love to her, this is the only way he can show his love, his remorse because ASR was never good at words & Khushi hugged him close feeling loved.
-
Arnav looked at the lady in front of him with hatred in his eyes.
Arnav: Garima Gupta! I have told you many times you can't meet Khushi.
Garima: Bitwa you have grudges against me, please don't punish her.
Arnav: She's safe Mrs. Gupta and if you don't want me to hurt her more because of you, just stay away.
Garima: Why're you punishing my family? You hate me so punish me.
Arnav: Because that's what you deserve. Now you know how it feels when you lose your loved ones hurting in front of you, hurting in front of you. You'll not get to see Khushi, just get lost and never dare to show up here again if you want her to live peacefully otherwise you wouldn't want a burden of divorce daughter on you more.
Both heads turned hearing the voice of glass breaking to see Khushi standing on doorstep of his cabin, her face smeared with tears.
Arnav ran to catch Khushi as she swayed in air and patted her cheeks, Garima tried to come close but one furious glare and she backed away crying helplessly.
Arnav paced outside waiting for doctor to come out tell him about Khushi when he received call from Anjali.
Anjali(on call): Chotte how is Khushi ji now? Arnav frowned.
Arnav: How do you know di?
Anjali: She wasn't feeling well when I called, knowing well you wouldn't want her to go alone, I told her to go AR and from there she can go with you.
Arnav sat down on bench keeping back the phone, so Khushi was there to go hospital with him and but now she knows half of the truth, her family never turned their back to him, he separated them.
-
Arnav entered inside the room happily to see Khushi sleeping under the affects of medicine, he wanted to hug her, share the happiness. She's pregnant, they'll soon have someone to call them Mumma and Papa. He held her hand between his, kissing her forehead, tears of happiness dropped on her hands as he kissed them and Khushi opened her eyes.
Arnav smiled and hugged her telling her how happy he is, but frowned when he got no response, Khushi was looking away and tears were falling freely.
Arnav: Khushi
Khushi: I want to meet my Amma, my family.
Arnav(instantly): Never!
Khushi: Why?
Arnav: We're going back. He said lifting her & brought her back to home.
Arnav looked at Khushi who slept crying, she wants to meet her family, but what if she left him? She wants to know why he did this to her!
Flashback
Arnav looked at the file having all information about Khushi, as ordered Aman managed to collect everything within the time but he was never ready for what he came across.
"Adopted by Shashi Gupta & Garima Gupta"
One look at the women and his painful past, cries swam in front of his eyes. His blood boiled with fury ready to destroy the women when image of that beautiful innocent face caught his eyes. No! He wants her, he wouldn't let her go because of that women, she has snatched enough from him, his father, mother, his childhood.
So he planned everything so cautiously and married Khushi asap. Garima Gupta came face to face with ASR next day of his marriage when she was asked to go away if she wants to see Khushi happy. Their house was bought by him and they were thrown out.
From that time that women is struggling with her family,like once he did with his sister but today with the biggest happiness came the biggest fear of losing Khushi. He have now realised that feeling was Love he felt for her but hatred for the women who raised her never let him express it.
FB ends
Khushi cried as Arnav finally told her everything after her many tries. Her heart cried for him but the daughter in her denied the accusations on her mother. She can never destroy a family and the truth came out when the matter came in open to both the Families.
Garima was also deceived just like his mother, she was not to be blamed for his mother suicide. Khushi left with her family as she wanted to spend time. His family showed their disappointment but understood his plight.
He goes to meet Khushi everyday at her Bua ji's house in Delhi, they all forgive him but he can see Khushi hasn't. Well why would she in all this game of hatred she is used as pawn.
Arnav decorated the whole room as per Khushi likes, today she is returning back. Marriage of Akash and Payal has been fixed and Nani wants Khushi to come back as she's pregnant, needs proper care.
Arnav: Khushi. He finally managed to talk with her, from the time she have returned back, she hardly looked at him & busy with others.
Khushi: Ji?
Arnav: Sorry!
Khushi instantly turned back to see his head hung down and tears of remorse in his eyes. One word but she knew knew he meant it, but was she ready to risk her heart again?
Arnav(looking at her): I fell in Love with you in first meeting only but never wanted to accept and the women you called your mother my hatred towards her just worked as fuel. Still something in me didn't wanted to lose you, so I did what I felt best to keep you beside me forever.
I always loved you Khushi but Hatred always pulled us apart even after being so close.
Khushi hugged him, letting him know her answer, she is ready to start afresh with the men she loved, the father of her child.
Indeed you were wrong, but you know what's the best part is?
"Though Hatred pulled us apart but Love never let us part"
Arnav: I Love you.
Khushi: I Love you too
Smiling, Arnav sealed their lips with a loving kiss expressing his feelings.
The End.
