RM.. Anjali's Room..
Three days from now is going to be her Godh Bharai (Baby shower) function.. Anjali was in her room, watching the night sky, now dressed in her blue silk nighty with a pair of shrug over it.. She was lost in her own world, caressing her baby bump when her mobile beeped.. She went near her bed from the French window of her room, but to her hard luck, before she could check the msg, her mobile's battery died.. She looked around her room for the charger, when she remembered that NK bhai had borrowed her mobile charger before sometime..
It was late and she thought not to disturb anyone, and so she slept on bed thinking of her chote and tracking a suitable girl for him in her mind, but she just ended imagining her chote with Khushiji.. She so wished to pair them up, but seems like her stars were not blessing her to complete her wish..
Anjali's thoughts continued and in no time she fell asleep.
*****
Mamiji's Room..
Mamiji was happy k NK was engaged to a well cultured girl, but one thing was out of her understanding.. Why was Khushi wearing a sweater that day? is she ok?
Mami was curious to find this out even if it dint matter much.. Least she knows what consequences are going to stand up at her one question and the answer to it..
******
Arnav was moving out with Khushi's Payal in his hand, and his eyes caught Khushi who was looking here and there to find an auto if possible.. But hard luck.. She was walking ahead finding no sign of transport when she heard him ..

Arnav-Miss Gupta..
She turned her head to see him, her lips automatically curled up into a smile, but she stopped grinning as she herself dint understand why she felt so good to see him.. Arnav came towards her..
Arnav-Take care of ur belongings, do u always drop ur payal (anklets)?
He gave her that single piece of silver payal she dropped inside, and folded her palms to take the payal.. She saw up and side - ways to see Arnav move towards his white S.U.V. which was still parked out.. It was the same S.U.V. in which she got a lift from him and it became the memory of their first meeting.. She was lost..
Arnav-Come, sit in the car, I will drop u..
Khushi-erm, Its ok.. I will go on my own..
He stared her for a while and remembered something.. He mocked..
Arnav- ek khubsurat aur jawan ladki ko aise akele beeech sadak pe, wo bhi iss wakt?! Na.. chodke nahi jaa sakta.. (Leaving a beautiful and young girl like this on mid-way, that too this time, no.. I cant do that..)
She remembered just what he did at his last statement, their first meeting..
*Flash Back*
She took some courage and spoke her next words, with fear, yet determination'
Khushi-aap ek khubsurat aur jawan ladki ko aise akele beeech sadak pe, wo bhi iss wakt chodke nahi jaa sakte.. (u are leaving a beautiful and young girl like this on mid-way, that too this time, no.. u cant do that.. )
Arnav-toh kya karu?? Tum jaise khubsurat aur jawan ladki ko aise akele beeech sadak se lekar apne ghar le jao??no thanks'mere aise shokh pure karne ke lye, mere pass aur better options hai'.(then what? Should I take a beautiful and young girl like u to my house from such a mid-way? No thanks, I have better options for that..)
Khushi got his meaning and was embarrassed by the words she chose and looked away..
Khushi-(she stammered)hamara- - hamara matlab wo nahi- - wo nahi tha- -hamrara matlab hai ke hum aise akele itni raat gaye ghar kaise jayenge?? (I ' I - - dint mean that - -I meant how I - - at so late night, I mean how will I reach home all alone?)
*Flash Back Ends*
Arnav asked her to sit in the car and she did.. She was blushing.. Her felt her heart pump inside her rib ' cage.. She was sitting back when she remembered..
*Flash Back*
He got in the car and barked on her to get in from the other hand. She opened the back-side door and he was irritated.
Arnav-hey lady, I am no driver of urs, get in, get in front.
She followed his orders.
*Flash Back Ends*
She sat in the front seat getting confused why was she remembering those scenes of her first meeting with him, its long time gone, and she still remembers those moments of war with him, how!?

Anyway.. She sat in the car with silence, just as she knew he preferred.. She was happy getting a lift from him.. Arnav entered his S.U.V. from the other side..

Khushi's eyes fell on her engagement ring and she lost her smile.. She was engaged with Nanheji.. She was not allowed to think of anyone else now.. Her eye ' brows frowned as she tried to remove that ring from above her fake bandaged ring ' finger.. Arnav stole her glances and looked at what she was doing, still concentrating on the road..

She had rolled a fake white bandage on her left hand ring ' finger, she herself scratched her head thinking why she did that.. And today, when her ring fell inside the RM, Arnavji found it and made her wear..

Arnavji, she looked on her side ' ways and found him so quite, he was a quite person, unlike her.. But now, that she saw his eyes, she noticed her was disturbed.. What was that was disturbing him? Why did she feel to take his pain and support him for what ever he feeling a hole in heart.. She wondered and looked in front..
She saw the bangle box and remembered Nanheji.. Yes, she had to see him as her future, but why was he so much into someone else and forgetting her fianc..

She had to move on accepting her reality and forgetting whatever she felt or not for anyone that her heart was beating for.. She took the bangle box and opened it and Arnav's ears alarmed at the khan ' khanof the bangles and next saw her struggle with the bangles to wear them..

He was tensed for the complications his Di was going to face tomorrow, and here THIS girl was adding the fury by making noise from the bangles.. But he dint feel like barking his angers on her.. He gripped the steering ' wheel tighter and gulped his longing desires to shout at her..

She was still struggling and his patience was tested..

His nose flared not giving a thought that why he was getting irritated.. Was it because he was tensed for his Di, or was is because Khushi was wearing gifts from NK.?
Arnav-Toh NK ko tumhari kalai ka size bhi nahi pata.. (NK does not even know ur wrist size..)
She looked down and initiated to argue..

Khushi-Kam se kam chudiya khareed ne ka khayaal toh aaya unhe.. (At least he thought to buy bangles for me..) AUCH..

She had not finished her sentence and a bangle pricked her hand below the front of her wrist. ASR was tensed..
ASR-Have u gone mad? What if something happened?

He got out of the car and came to the other side and opened her side door.. She remained calm trying to act strong..
He pulled her hand in his, in a gentle way..

She gave in and felt him remove the broken glass bangle piece from her wrist by bending his lips on the same.

She hissed and he felt his heart prick a needle'

He was done and he realised what he had been doing, but dint realise why?! Thankfully the injury was less than minor and hardy any blood oozed out.. He left her hand..
He felt dumb.. He had to worry for his Di, what was he doing here with this girl? She was no one to him, why did he feel to care for her? He was fighting with his thoughts and his mind was bursting.. Next what came from her totally made him rise at the ultimate level of his anger..
Khushi-U dint need to do this, I dint need any help from u..
This was it, here ASR was fighting with his own feelings and she was not helping him in anyway. He knew he was not supposed to care for her, but she dint need to give him free preaching, or did she?
ASR went near her and took out his two days frustration on none but her..
ASR-U don't need to teach me what I need to do or not.. My life is more complicated than giving heeds to ur advice.. I have better works to do so u better SHUT UP..
She was left stunned as his gritted teeth ended up with raising his voice on her innocence at this silent night.. She was alone and she got scared of him.. He realised how high he yelled at her, and fisted his palms on push a 'damm' on the car bonet..
ASR-Am - - am sorry I dint mean to yell on u..
She was just looking down at nothing in particular, she just wished to go away from him, she feared him and her shivering hands and heaving chest proved this to him.. His hard heart melted and his cries came out at last.. He was a very strong man and so clever to hide his real feelings from the world, but it was time face himself today.. His cries made her look up at him, who was going weak on his knees and fell on the ground crying.. Khushi was shocked to see The ASR cry, maybe for the first time.. Her fear turned into concern and she unintentionally got out and kneeled down cupping his damped face.. She was still scared as she never in her wildest thoughts a dreamt to see a screaming Arnav in his cries, and her own dove eyes ended up getting watery..
Khushi-Arnavji wh - - what happened? Why are u crying? I am fine Arnavji.. Arnavji.. Arnavji are u alright?
She looked in his eyes and he was looking down holding her arms for support as his hard sobs got louder and her worries rose with the same..
Khushi-Arnavji, are u ok? Tell me why are u crying?
Arnav-Khushi I don't know what to do, how to tell Di..
He said in between his sobs and she got more confused.. She looked down thinking hard what was he pointing at, but it was out of her capacity to think..
Khushi-Arnavji get to the point, why are u crying? Di is so happy today, u should be happy for her na?
She tried to comfort him and he threw himself to feel her warmth.. He had been alone for long, and her support seemed so pious. He pulled her into a hug and his head rested on her heart.. He tightened his grip on her waist and she was just stunned to feel him too close. She was not able to react and her eyes closed to complete the hug..
She caressed his hairs and tried to calm his nerves, he was just crying mumbling something which she was unable to figure out.. She was worried for him as his cries dint seem to be fake, she knew this man had something BIG going on in his heart which he tried to suppress for long.. She dint realise when she started crying feeling his pain..
Khushi-Arnavji plz don't cry.. I cant see u crying.. Arnavji tell me what happened?
His cheeks were near her heart and his tears still ran down his cheeks.. His eyes turned red and he pushed himself on her laps and she was sitting on the ground with his face in her laps now.. He was crying like a baby..
Arnav-Khushi Jiju is no more, how will I tell this to Di..? How can I?She is so happy after years, and I - - I cant let anyone ruin her happiness.. Di is expecting after long trails Khushi, how can I let anyone let her break down.. I cant do this Khushi.. Help me.. plz tell me a way out..
Khushi was shocked more than what she had ever been.. She had been blank.. Her world went silent and so did his sobs.. She had never imagined Arnav Singh Raizada to share anything but THIS NEWS with her..
Arnav-Shyam jiju is no more.. What should I do? How should I tell Di? Khushi.. tell me..
His sobs went soft as he dint get a reply from her.. He felt her hands on his head and realised him to be sitting on the ground with his face in her laps.. He was mentally pushed back to remember when did this happen? He told everything to anyone BUT her?? Why? How can he go loose in front of anyone? How could he??
He raised his face till her face.. Both were sitting on the ground and the S.U.V. behind them was blinking parking ' lights.. He gulped still pushing tears from his heart..
He saw Khushi's face which showed him what a push she herself got?! If Khushi's reaction was this, how will his Di react?
