PART 1

Khushi let a sigh of relief when she saw sheetal sleeping peacefully with Garima . She carefully came out closing the doors. She walked in her room . Tired, Confused... She came beside sheetal to sleep. There were many things which was bothering to her….but she was giving her best of her advice to herself to shut those inner conflicts of mind. She was turning and tossing, unable to sleep. She opened her mobile ,typed in search engine box about the aftermath of rape victims. Somehow, She couldnot read it.. She closed the search engine frustrated and decided not to read anything. It was bringing more negativity. Then her fingers traced their own path to messenger app. Zoomed on Arnav profile pic. She was feeling low of herself for bringing everything to end. She knew he must be hurt. She wondered what might be Arnav doing? Any possibility, if he would question Anjali? Definitely not. He must be furious on me, she pondered. Her eyes zoomed in shock, seeing him online in messenger. For a moment her heart ached to drop him a message . Feeling guilty and sorry for blaming him, for holding him equally responsible for Lavanya’s death…, but again humans mind has its own subconscious calculations..We hardly think of maintaining. We give more weightage to end the relationship for all the reasons we believe good for us..

She zoomed Arnav photo again…….and then suddenly locked the phone and then as she kept her phone aside the pillow,There was a beep on her phone. she excitedly picked up to see.

**************************************************************************

Mumbai

The irony of grief is that the person you most want to talk to about it is no longer here..Litlle by little we let go off loss, but never of love…

“Maa…don’t go ma…”

“Your mother stood for truth, I got perhaps more aggressive for the decision she took, of leaving me.”

“Your sister anjali Raijyada, she is responsible for making false allegations on Khushi”

“Yes brother.Yes ARni.. It was me..I made allegations on her…because I hate Khushi””

“Mr Raijyada, I feel somewhere you are equally responsible for Lavanya’s death.

Arnav turned and tossed. Somewhere his anger for everyone and everything was boiling deep down ..But strangely hedidn’t let his frustration on anyone!. Not on Manohar, Neither on Anjali, and neither on Khushi too. He himself didnot had any answers. But it was troubling him.. He turned and tossed. Sleep deludes.

“Anjali was responsible for all my false allegations.”

Khushi’s words were constantly making a hit, her face when she was letting everything out. she knew Anjali was responsible from Beginning and still she did not reveal anything. She didnot ever spill out on that. Is that because she thought I would never trust her?

Silent corner of his heart was missing her presence. Her message which was bombarding every now and then. Right after the kamatipura accident, Arnav made sure Khushi dropped the message of reaching safely to destination, at home wherever she was. And now he knew she travelled back to bangalore, back in middle of night, his heart longed to read the message from her, longed to send message for her. But neither came any , neither did he send any.He opened up message box . Typed , Erase……but the hard reality of her actions hit him. Ego is such a thunderstorm, just sometimes makes lots of noise…He saw her being online. F**K.., he muttered. She could drop one!. She should be sorry!. ego and heart actions way go in opposite directions . after all they shared a strange different bond, connection. Khushi’s words hit him badly. He thought Khushi would understand him, he was still surprised and annoyed on her for holding him responsible for Lavanya death.

Feeling more infuriated, he then dropped a message to his PA and manager-“To wind up all India projects and then focus on US assignments. I will make a moment soon”

Probably that silent frustration was the thing he was building up. Suddenly so much happened … he wanted to breathe fresh air………..far..far from old memories..all burning pain…..

*****************************************************

Bengaluru

“Hey baby. Reached Bangalore. Looking forward to meet you tomorrow. Hope u have reached safely”

It was aman message

As Khushi was typing a reply, payal looked disturbed, and she sheepishly told khushi to sleep soon.

“Khushi…why are you awake..sleep”

“neeend nahi aa rahi yar..”

“mobile off kar ..kya soch rahi hai”

“Payal, iam bothered about akka…didn’t you feel something different….why would akka cry like this? ..did u see how she cried ?…like as if she missed mom, as if she was throwing out all her pain. I understand she was in so much bad condition, she has gone through lot, she might have missed amma, but the point is, she don’t remember anything right..?then how come she can cry if she wont remember anything”

Khushi could hear just snoring sound of payal again. Khushi then dozed off away just in wee hours of morning.

******************************************************

Mumbai

It was 10am, when Arnav was stretching his hands after his deep sleep. As he scorched his eyes, he was surprised to see Manohar sitting straight into the couch infront of him

“Dad?””.Arnav asked being equally confused seeing Manohar.

“”whats up Dad?” Arnav asked sleepishly again and then woke up .

“Iam sorry Son. I know I should not have hidden the things from you”

Arnav remained silent. He avoided Manohar’sgaze.

“I know I did not tell about your mother, I know I did not tell about Anjali this morning. And I proved to be wrong Father”

“Dad.Lets not discuss anything about that.” Arnav said sharply.

Manohar walked towards Arnav. Manohar was guilty. He was sad. He was upset for letting his children face all these.

“But we need to settle things Arnav. I don’t want to loose you Arnie. Iam sorry. I know I could have been better husband., better father .But I think I failed terribly…I lied to you. May be if I would have told truth, you would have not hated your mother. Believe me son, each day I suffer , I die for surviving on this lie…”

“Dad,please leave me alone. I don’t want to talk anything of the past right now….Its the future Iam looking..Its a new Day..new Beginning and I think I don’t want to wirl up on past…lets move on..”

Manohar was surprised the way Arnav talked. He had thought always his son would be furious about everything if ever he would know the truth. But nothing of that reflected. He remembered how Anjali mentioned about Arnav was calm composed. It was early morning when Anjali came to meet Manohar and cried when she explained the way Arnav knew it and how she saw the pain in Arnav eyes.

Manohar came out of the stance and faced Arnav again…

“Iam just curious arnav….”

“”for what?” Arnav replied ignoring again direct eye contact…

“Iam wondering if you are really being so nice and understanding son or is this the way to show ur pain?”

Arnav knew Manohar wont leave him otherwise. Arnav’s frustrated zoomed his eyes in corner to again face Manohar straight

“Dad.Iam upset. Upset for everything!!. Iam angry.. I need to shout on you and blast on everyone…on you…like what? .how could you This ? Why you did?,…is that what You want to hear from me? Arnav blurted in straight breadth….and then sighed and composed histone back…. Dad, but its true. Iam not angry on you. Yeah its hurts knowing how things have been hidden from me….but I will be fine soon…. I just want to be alone for few days…..”Arnav gave his sharp reply and walked passed through washroom to freshen up.

When he was back, Manohar was still there..

“Common Dad?”

“No. You did not understand my point. I feel guilty because you are hating your mom for all the act I have done…”

Arnav did not reply.

‘No Arni.Let it go off. May be she tried to contact and then she couldnot..dont know what circumstances she was in….but let that hatred to go..she will be in peaceup there… and I will be at peace…Otherwise I will suffer.”

Arnav swallowed hard lump. Trying to digest the fact sometime a momentarily things can change the situation upside down. Manohar continued.

“And Iequally feel more hurt, that because of me, you are not believing in any healthy relationship which is crossing your way…I just want that because what happened between me and your mom, you should not leave confidence on relationship and marriage. I was more of business oriented. I did not care for ur mother feelings. We did not work on it. Ego’s were boiling. You are not like that. You are not like me…You could be a great Husband, a great father.””

“Dad!. Stop it.”

“No . I want to speak today,Arnav. I failed guiding Anjali. I know you fear if someone might leave you like your mother did…But you know the truth now.. Things were different that time..“

“Dad..listen to me. Stop being emotional. I am fine. And I don’t trust marriage, being in commitment not because mother left me, nor because Anjali marriage failed….not because of anyone else..but because I guess I cant give any commitment…and I don’t think I could actually love someone…”

Manohar cut shot him ..”You need to ask yourself what is keeping you from setting your sights on someone who might actually be available for a genuine relationship..…..I could see a trust in your eyes, I could see love in your eyes.. I could see how you care for Khushi…tHe thing I have never seen you doing for anyone else….“

“What The” Arnav was surprised the way Manohar suddenly banged on Khushi’s name.

“BANG ON”. The voice came suddenly…Both Manohar and Arnav saw towards the direction of the voice . It was Karan standing.

“Finally uncle , You managed to know….I have been telling Arnav..He don’t believe me. You rightly observed. He likes her ..He loves her..” Karan winked up . Your son is bit of “Malai kofta internally..”

“haha..No No..he is Ras Malai kofta”” Manohar spoke in equal humor.

Karan surprisingly looked at Manohar.”You knew?”

“Yeah..heard of, back in shanghai…!....there was one more..” Manohar replied

“opt!..Kadwa Karela..!” Karan blurted and laughed out seeing Arnav angry face…

“What the! Will you both stop this Non sense.!!. “Arna suddenly barked angrily. He was indeed.

“Gods sake both of you. Dad, don’t you think I don’t know what u are trying to do. I know you sent khushi on my birthday day to my flat. Don’t I understand, what you are trying to do. Stop. Stop!. No one has any right to push me in any relationship.. You don’t have to do all this . And god dammed..karan..you kow..why don’t you even tell Dad… ..Hell sake…Dad!. She is getting married to someone soon..Iam so messed, f**ked up here with you all my family and friends…..F**k….and you guys know what…. I have decided to leave India..iam soon going to US…” Arnav gave out his frustration and was walking towards the door, when he stopped suddenly turned and popped a question.

“And what is this malai kofta..karela all about”

“They are nick names what Khushi used to call you..I gues she saved this as your contact names..”Karan replied with a serious face . Saw Manohar and laughed out suddenly.

“”Ähh? What the!”” Arnav looked at them being surprised. And then walked away…

“Uncle, Didnot I say. Arnav never agrees that he likes Khushi. But I can bet on it”

“I know Karan. But tell me is Khushi really getting married. Arnav has a point then.Its baseless right”

“Yeah..But the strange thing I could see even Khushi has feeling for him. God knows why she is marrying to someone else…Why cant these people come clear..”

“Karan, why don’t you talk to Khushi then. Explain her that Arnav do feels for her andjust he cant open up on this”

Karan furiously looked at Manohar “She is Hitler. Its better to deal with your son than with her!””

**********************************************************************************

Bangalore

It was 9am when Khushi finally woke up. She had a good tight sleep. Her sister was back home safely, she was at peace. She went to freshen up . Looked herself in mirror. She was then thinking of 2challenges which were now popping in front of her. She should soon now has to focus on getting job. Her savings were dried off. High time. Well, the other challenge was engagement. But was it really that time to have a celebration when akka has went all through it. Why its so important for Aman. Why can the understand. I need to explain him in person since he is back to Bangalore.

She came out after freshening. Took out mobile and checked for any messages…she knew there would be none…why then she was missing Arnav, longing to send him message…. But is this afterall she wanted..the relation to end…..? She bite her lips.

She came out hearing the loud noise of Payal and her buaji chit chating. She saw sheetal drinking tea quietly. Khushi observed her akka. She looked fine, khushi thought.. Her thoughts were disturbed as buaji spoke.

“dekh Khushi, iam telling payal to stay here for few days..but she is insisting that she will go PG”

“haan buaji ..We have tortured this poor soul like anything.. she desserves her space..freedom..she has already done so much for us.”

“Na Khushi.i really loved staying here with buaji and u all..”

“Na payal I understand. But u can go tomorrow..waise Buaji, his boyfriend is coming…..back from shanghai…. Ahem ahem….she needs to enjoy”

Khushi made jokes and way went to kitchen and hugged her amma. Her amma though explained her fears of sheetal being so silent. Khushi boosted her amma that she has gone through lot, she is on medication and thatsy she might be bit stressed out. Khushi told that she will take sheetal to doctor to check on her medication. As she was explaining her plan, she heard that familiar voice. She ran out suddenly to the dining room. Buaji had switched on TV. And strangely news about Lavanya death popped and then statement from Arnav given yesterday.His media statement that they were long broken and he don’t want to commit anything about her.

The way Khushi was gluing to TV, watching him ..everyones eyes glued on her.

She took an excuse suddenly, took her mobile and came inside room. She felt like crying. She missed him so much.It felt like waves crashing. She cant message, she cant see him anymore… END isfinally done?

“Drop a message. I could see you are missing him!” Payal spoke as saw Khushi holdingmobile and just peeping in…

Khushi jerked suddenly and turned behind.“Rubbish!, I am not missing Arnav. “

“Did I say his name..God!.?”

“Nothing payal…Iam not”

“Its exactly 4th time, You have being staring at your mobile in between endlessly”

“”w o wo.. wo..”

Payal gave a curvy smile and continued seeing khushi’s remorted face.”I understand, he is too hot to easily ignore” Payal could guess there were thousands of crushing waves running inside khushi’s mind but just simply she was trying to hide.

“Look khushi, I understand you gave me your own reason u know why you don’t want to go back in his life, but whats problem in being keeping in contact? I mean if you think Arnav don’t have that feeling, or if you think you don’t belong to his world, fine. But what’’s wrong being in friendship? Well , If I would be in your place I would never let loose his contact. I mean powerful star, close buddy..i mean who would dare…of stature and nature..Common khushi, you are mature enough..dont behave like a teenager…”

“oh payal,so you mean to say. Since he is rich, powerful, and what all not. thatsy I need to keep in contact with him?”

“Yeah.Its ok to be selfish sometime. I mean how often someone get close to actors and vice versa!. How often you see any of them knowings us. Oh my god. U r an crazy to avoid him”

“yeah..!iam crazy. Iam like this” Khushi said irruptively and continued “Waise..its not the only point. Iam feeling getting attracted to him. You know …if I be in contact, it would just ..you know what iam saying… its not easy to burn those feelings”

Payal was silent and then suddenly laughed out. “You know khushi. I would give you an simple advice. When you are tired, hell alone at night. Just close your eyes and imagine doing all the crazy and wild things with Arnav. Believe me,..you wont feel depressed “

Khushi gave an look and threw a pillow at payal..”F**k..payal..”

“Khushi iam serious. You should consider this…option. And the good thing..No one would dare to disturb your privacy’

“Payal yar!”” Khushi closed her ears with her palms.

“”common yar. Drop a message. Nothing wrong in maintaining a healthy relationship still sticking to your terms”

“I cant.Specially after yesterday event. I have said him the worst. Iam sure he must be ready to eat my flesh!”

“Send an apology then”

“NO way!. If he thinks something, he could drop a message. I wont”

“F**king girl.”” Payal quickly grabbed khushi’s phone, opened the messaging app suddenly typed “Hi” and Sent to Arnav

“What the F*..Payal you cant do that..

Before Khushi snatched her phone back to delete that message. Payal spoke with low tone. “Arnav read the message.”

*****************************************************

Mumbai

As Arnav walked down to have his breakfast, he asked to Jaiprakash about ANjali, when later told him about that she has been not seen since morning. Arnav dialed Anjali number worriedly, but she did not pick up. He saw Karan walking towards him.

“You cant see khushi marrying someone right, so you are leaving India..Isnt it? Karan came near dining to question Arnav straight

“whats baseless.!. “”

“Arnie.. … I guess she might have been suddenly disturbed with Lavanya’s death.. she way thinks different of our lifestyle. Fair enough you see, she is not used to all these . On your birthdayday, I still remember how much nervous she was seeing most of girls and women coming in for party.. She surely was not comfortable seeing the glamours and gliss all around. She did not even dared to get down from the car that day..I think something disturbs her..”

Arnav suddenly looked at Karan speaking, and then looked away..and then turned to reply back.

“That women khushi, she blames me for lavanya’s death when she is the girl I spoke the truth about everything.You think she is someone to worry about the class..and lifestel. No way.! “

“I told what I deeply observed that day. Iam sure she might have not to told to hurt u. I think its ok, if you contact her. She is sweet. She has gone through so much. “

“Karan . if you want to talk the same crap! Just go away, “

Before ARnav could respond more. His phone beeps with message. It was Khushi’s. He opened in a single fingertip. It read “Hi”

“Message from khushi?”” karan asked. Arnav looked at him in surprise.

“Its fine. Nothing to be surprised. I guess it from your eyes..”

Karan grabbed his phone to look.

“I told right. She is indeed sweet. After everything happened. She wants to keep in contact. Its ok Arnie.. “

Arnav was silent. Did not bother to reply.

Karan sensed Arnav is hell bent, he wont reply. His hard ego. He must be for sure awaiting khushi’s apology. But he even know khushi too. He immediately sent an counter instant reply..”Hi” back to khushi

“What the!” Arnav grabbed his phone back in anger.

“Are you sick Karan. Holy shit”

Karan politely replied. She read the message.

**********************************************************************************

Bengaluru

Arnav replied “HI”” payal suddenly blurted. Khushi grabbed the phone from her hand. Read that message coming from him again and again.

“How sweet of him to reply still”

“chey..what he would be thinking of me!. I Will reply him, that it was you!” Khushi started typing the same, but again erased . Typed and “then erased.

“wo wo…”” “Khushi was typing when she suddenly heard the loud shout.

She suddenly ran at the direction of the noise . She knew it was sheetal akka,.

“akka!.Relax. He is milk man” Khushi asked Garima to take sheetal inside. She turned towards milkman where he expressed his own surprise , complaining the lady shouted with no reason. Khushi appolized in polite way and was surprised at sheeal behavior. She could remember how she saw sheetal getting panic in most places..and now she could actually relate all the attacks…

Was it seeing men?

Is she getting freaked out stressed out seeing out men?

The stress trauma of getting raped , trafficked by men has certainly left certain mark on her.

This is certainly not the good sign…

She kept thinking when her thoughts were broken by the familiar voice. It was Aman standing at the door.

“I heard akka shout”

“wo haan. I guess seeing unknown people. You know what she has gone lately” Khushi replied. And then realized she was talking with Aman standing out.

She called out him inside. The only person who was hell happy seeing Aman was the lady Garima. The act of aman impressing Khuhis’ father who was being suffering and cannot walk. The act of Aman talking with Garima, the act of him trying to make humour was just so natural . Payal who got hell irritated , went out giving the family time. Infact she was out to meet Nandkishore who was back to India.

“I now know the reason why you don’t show any interest of engagement nor marriage “ Aman asked Khushi making serious face..

“wo wo..”Khushi was speechless..

“Yeah I know..Because you like Arnav Singh Raijyada!”

Khushi stood there stunned..

***********************************************************************

Mumbai

“Cut the crap karan. And tell me is this Why have you been here early morning?” Arnav asked.

“Actually I came here for siddhi Vinayaka temple”

“what ?”

“yeah..”””

“”Since when you were so godly believer. I never see you visiting any temples”

“Yeah never visited , but I actually believe in god. Yes…””

“I see..”

“So did God forgive you for all the deeds u have done? Like iam sure khushi did not punish you, but..””

“Iam afraid, if its reverse..”

“I guess god fulfills what we truly ask” Karan replied. Being emotional. I have done the bad. But I have accepted that and iam trying to repent…

“What you want..you try…you work on it. No one else would. Nor any GOD.””

“”there are certain things which are not in our hand and we need to rely on that supreme power”

“I am not sure if there is anything of supreme power…but I think ..you know if we gonnaa ask from pure heart and rightful will, we all will surely get”” Karan replied suddenly being emotional..

Sachhe dil se jo bhi mango….mil jaata…..Karan replied next in hindi ….

Arnav looked at him in strange..

*****************************************************

“whats up khushi?’ Arnav asked khushi

“There is one temple there..hanuman ji mandir. Khushi pleeded

“Khushi, we are getting late. By the time we reach kumpta ..it would be late night..”

“please please…..”

Khushi touched his hands out of sudden counter and then suddenly took back. Hesitated and popped a question

“Will you come?”

“what the hell!””

“”oops iam sorry..I know you wont go temples..…..I will go and come soon.. I will come in 5mins!”.”

“Its so much of forest area… Khushi spoke seeing out.

‘you need protection?” Arnav asked

“no I can but…””

“Khushi. Its getting dark. Its hilly area. We are getting late already..”

“I want to go to temple, before we reach kumpta. Please please..come”

Arnav any how escorted to that temple with khushi…, but he stood there standing stil outside the premises….folding his hands in his trousers….

He could see how she closed her eyes with pure sincerity….

“Why don’t you believe in God Mr Raijyada” Khushi asked as they were back in car.

“Individual beliefs..You tell me, ‘So praying like this….has god given you everything?’

“Not really mr Raijyada..but I think it has helped me in many ways to be strong..”

“that u can anyway be..””

“”But Iam sure..…..agar sache dil se jo bhi mango bhagwan jarur deta hai…”

*********************************************

“Yehi…..jo sache dil sai mango…wo jarur puri karta hai bhagwan..” Karan repeated the sentence again

What happened…Arnie…You look lost suddenly…” karan questioned back.

“No nothing..that dialogue.!,.. it looked familiar… ”

“Its familiar because it famous ..SRK film dialogue ….…my ex GF she used to tell this everytime ..oh was such a crazy Sharukh fan..his dialogues in everyaction”

“ DDLJ?U have watched?”” Arnav asked being surprised as they sat in car

“yeah..utter nonsense……..i cant believe my GF made me watch tat DDLJ for 4times every Friday night before we could make out..…and the very 5th time she made we watch , dude I just broke up””

.Arnav looked at other side as he drove vehicle and then corrected his thoughts and spoke in carefull tone..

“is it that bad ?”

“what?’”karan asked

“DDLJ film?”

Karan suddenly laughed..

“whats wrong with you, the way you are asking ..”

Arnav raised his eyebrows

“just kidding Arni. Ok. u know all bluff emotional….bornig love story..aaditya chopras typical bolywood romance..ladki ki shaadi fix hoti..hai ladka comes to rescue …can u imagine…who the hell will actually do…...i guess we would have had slept before even thinking of love”..

Arnav did not reply but looked away trying to avoid any more thoughts pondering….a smile touched on his face as he thought how even in that serious situation when Khushi was all nervous about searching her sister, she was still crazily speaking film dialogues.. he curved his lips…

*******************************************************************************

Bengaluru

“Yeah I know..Because you like Arnav Singh Raijyada!” Aman suddenly asked khushi.Khushi stood speechless.

“Why are you in such a shock. You only said that in our first meet . That u r his fan.He is your first love..bla bla…”

‘Oh yeah!” Khushi smiled ..for a moment, khushi was shaken on that question

Aman grabbed khushi’s hands in his and spoke to her..”Khushi, I know you have been stressed out what all happened with akka..i understand. But that doesnot mean you should stop moving on,, stop smiling.. why don’t you think at other angle.This environment of function, engagement, it would be such a change for sheetal akka. Remember , even doctor said..keep her involved. Keep her engaged…..trust me, your sheetal akka will become so lively..My parents don’t have any problem with whatever happened . They are happy with my decision and I want you to be equally happy for us”

Khushi hesitated and then replied..”mmm.Iam fine. Ok…”

*************************************

Mumbai

“Arnie. I need to discuss with you something” Karan opened up, as he saw Arnav in bit light mood.

“Not again Karan”

“Its about Sheetal!”

Arnav suddenly gazed towards Karan and replied being furious “You know you cant reach out to her. Karan , khushi wont let that. Why don’t you move on”

“I fear there is something wrong..sheetal identified me” karan replied

Arnav looked at karan in confusion. “”you met her?”

“No. I was suddenly out at entrance slot, but the look she gave me when she wasgetting inside. I could bet she identified me”

“what rubbish karan. When she was getting treated. She did not knew about you. She was in shock. When she regained her memory. She remembered her days before kumpta. You were never part of her memory. How could she remember”

“I don’t know that. But my gut says…she is hiding something..she remembers …and that Khushi should be aware.. I cant contact her. Thatsy I was begging you to message her…only you can ask…” Karan suddenly talked being emotional.

“what nonsense..I would never. Karan please move on.. Khushi is more eligible to handle. You need not prove her anything..”

“ call me mad, but iam not able to forget sheetal. And now knowing that somewhere she has identified me .its boiling with me. She was a traumatic patient and I fear if something happens. She don’t deserve that..khushi doesnot deserve that..she needs to know..”

Arnav was silent. He did not respond.

“You cant be this rude ARni. If you are not communicating , Iam going to Bangalore!”

“Good luck!” Arnav replied in single tone…and applied the break at the signal. Wondering what khushi might be dealing with….he remembered she had sent hi…karan had replied that..after that there were no messages…

He then opened his mobile ..But there was a message from khushi

“wo wo""*

**************************************************

Bengaluru

“I cant believe Khushi. You were going to tell Aman about postponing the engagement again!” Garima shouted at khushi in kitchen after Aman left.

“Amma.Offcousrse. See akka situation”

“She is fine and with me. Iam happy for that. And she don’t even remember anything. God wanted all these. You should be lucky enough. “

“Amma ur thinking about society”

“why shouldnot I. We are living with them. You imagined how hard it would if someone would have come to know about sheetal, you are lucky Aman is such a good guy…he knows everything about and still tolerates. “

Khushi kept quiet. She was not in position to quarrel any bit.

“. Don’t I know you, why you don’t feel for Aman. Because you like that actor. We don’t belong there khushi. He might just take advantage and leave you. Forget him. Aman is your future. Remember that. Aur Tuje na bahut confidence aa gaya hai apnea aap par khushi. You forget how Aman helped us. This house we are staying here comfortably , its because of Aman, he helped in your absence financially”

“you asked him money? Amma?” Khushi cut Garima in half

“you used to never receive calls….god knows how busy you got searching sheetal. Aman used to call us daily. You have not transferred any money . How do you think appa’s bill we would have given? Ever thought all that?”

“Amma!...pcch pcch” Khushi frustrated went inside her bedroom. The thought of aman helping so much pinched her. The help of Arnav itself was bothering her so much. After letting to know even aman helped somuch..it hurt her self esteem.

She focused just 2 words..”JOB and change of house..” now she cant be in someone mercy.

Khushi opened her laptop and was about to create her job profile when her phone beeped…It was from Arnav. It read

..”??””

Khushi confused, looked at chat. By mistake she had sent ->“wo wo..”

“pch pch”” Khushi murmured…Bite her lips. Thought N times, if she has to appolize…But instead she sent a weird question..

****************************************

Mumbai

“I have some meeting to windup..”

As Arnav was speaking to karan,. his phone beeps with Khushi’s message..

“Whats your Account Number?”

Arnav curved his brows.

He sent back reply -> “??”

“I need to send you the money I took from you as a loan”

“ah I see.Arranged?”

Karan tapped on Arnav shoulder , asking him to move as the signal turned green.

Bengaluru

Khushi typed , erased….khushi where did you arrange. Will you lie aRnav again?.

She typed ,, erased , finally sent->

“”will soon arrange. So I may need your ACC NO to transfer”

Khushi waited..there was no reply…

She saw the screen again and again.. and then again opened her job profile..
