********************************* 

Hospital..

Anjali was admiring her new born with immense love in her eyes for him..

Just then, she felt a familiar touch on her shoulder which she can recognize from thousand others.. She gasped and turned around to see him, AGAIN.. Alive, and healthy..

Anjali-Chotte!

Her breathe hitched.. Last she saw him when he was falling from the Mango Tree during their picnic.. She ran to save him, and everything went wrong since then.. But she was truly worried for her brother, he was like her first baby.. It felt like she was seeing him after so many days.. Her concern showered on Arnav being double now..

Anjali-Chotte are u - - u r - -

Arnav-I am okay Di.. I am very fine.. Plz don't stress.. PAUSE.. Come..

He held her shoulders, gesturing her to make way to her Room and Rest, but she pulled back..

Anjali-Chote, u saw..

Anjali gazed her Son and Arnav's eyes followed her gaze in good spirits.. Arnav looked at Anjali and nodded.. He saw Anjali looking inside the Incubator Room at her baby through the glass wall, and saw her eyes filled up.. He led her to her room and helped her lay down..

*

Arnav was here with Anjali since a while now.. Arnav sent Mamaji home and decided to be here to accompany his sister who was resting.. He was not happy at heart, and mentally very angry at present.. Both just coz of his wife.. He wanted to run away leaving everything, and he wanted to go loose in his thoughts, when he heard some voice and saw his sister calling him.. Arnav turned towards Anjali and her words shocked him..

Anjali-Chote.. I don't know what to do about Shyam..

ASR-Di.. Why are u even taking his name now?? Just forget that such a name even existed in ur Life EVER.. He is a closed book, and shall remain closed forever now.. I am not going to repeat this Di, just never take his name or talk anything related to him, EVER.. He is no more alive for us, and I am not at all going to let him enter ur or Khushi's life ever again, and - -

His words were gulped when he took Khushi's name.. Shyam had just created a rift long back, but it was ASR who took it forward to produce a damage beyond repair.. Khushi's count  on their Contract Marriage and her words of mistrust again echoed his ears and he got up to turn his back his Anjali..

Anjali-I know Arnav.. Am sorry.. I dint mean to - - Whatever.. I just wanted to tell u that I wanted to give my Son my Name and Surname, Anjali Singh Raizada..

Arnav nodded still not looking back.. Ya his Di was right, she was a Raizada too since she divorced her husband before he was sentenced Lifetime Imprisonment for his deeds..

Anjali slept in the next few moments but Arnav was not getting any piece of mind here as well.. He moved out of the room asking some nurse to look after Anjali till anyone else comes by..

***

Raizada Mansion..

Mamaji was back and he told everyone here that ASR was in the hospital.. Mamaji was informed about Khushi's pregnancy and he too congratulated Khushi.. He left for his room later as there were only ladies around and he also had some Official Work to look over..

*

Nani told Buaji and Mami how Arnav got extra angry and possessive seeing Khushi carrying such a Heavy Cot, and in which anger he blurted out about Khushi's pregancy.. That's when Nani herself came to know that Khushi was pregnant and now, Khushi too had understood that her husband had not willfully told Nani about Khushi's pregnancy..

*

The evening passed and it would turn into a Dark Night any moment.. Khushi's eyes were eagerly at the Door waiting to see Arnav and apologize him sincerely.. Khushi was so cursing time which seemed not to be passing at all.. She knew her crime to suspect him was very low and wrong, her choice of words too.. But then she knew her Arnavji's heart was not so hard as it seemed.. It had so much space for her, and her pea sized brain's talks would find no space in his heart.. Ya, he must have been hurt too much, but she would do anything to get his forgiveness and would keep in mind never to repeat anything like this anytime again Forever..

*

Khushi was done waiting, and she gave up.. She took a sigh and looked ahead and get up, but she paused.. It was just then noticed that Buaji and Nani along with Mamiji had been staring at her anxious face.. She looked down hiding her weak smile as she knew they knew what was going in her mind..

Buaji (to Khushi)-He will just be back soon titaliya.. Where else will he go leaving his wife?

Everyone chuckled but Khushi.. She was still not able to convince herself that she could make it up to her Arnavji this time.. She was feeling so heavy at heart, and she kept looking down..

Buaji-BTW I wanted to share something more with u all.. When Garima called, I told her that, erm.. If Anjali's life falls at place, I promise to go to Chaar Dham Yatra.. Now that she (Anjali) is blessed with a Prince like Son and she is herself out of danger, I guess it would be best if I leave for this Yatra Next Week itself..

Nani-That is really very thought full of u..

Mami-Sasuma u should also join.. Its ur age too, u see..

Mamorama giggled and Buaji cut in..

Buaji-U can also come Manramaji.. and Naniji, u are always welcome..

They chatted for a while, where as Khushi was a mere spectator presently..

Buaji-Chalo anyway.. I guess I will take a Leave.. Khushi, take care..

Khushi just smiled weakly and nodded her head as Buaji spoke that.. Buaji made her way to the entrance of the Raizada Mansion for her exit with Mamiji.. They disappeared.. Nani looked at Khushi and blessed her in her heart for giving her such a wonderful news..

Khushi was not feeling like sitting there anymore, and she got up from the Sofa with a Jerk, and Nani sitting on the opposite Sofa to her cried..

Nani-Sambhal ke! (Careful!) 

Khushi turned and held the Sofa handle and looked at Nani whose hands were in air to STOP Khushi.. Nani was standing next to Khushi now, and cupping Khushi's face..

Nani-U should be slow betiya, do everything softly.. Don't u know, the first three months of a Woman's Pregnancy are a little more important.. U should take special precautions especially for the first three months.. So, be slow betiya..

Nani smiled and assured that she was not angry, but just worried..

Khushi-But my forth month of Pregnancy has already started Naniji..

Nani was stunned! And so was Khushi herself.. She never intended to speak that, it just slipped out from her mouth.. Nani was shocked, and her feet trembled two steps back from Khushi..

Nani-Wh - - What? Ur forth month has already started!?!?! Wh - - When?

Khushi was looking down feeling so embarrassed, and spoke in a low voice..

Khushi-This week only, Nani.. Don't worry, all is okay..

Nani-Then why dint u tell anyone before? U should have at least informed me, why dint u?

Before Khushi could reply, a SHARP voice came from behind..

It was ASR, drunken ASR..

ASR-How could she have said Nani? She dint even tell ME!!

Khushi and Nani looked on the Hall Entrance and saw ASR coming towards them.. Khushi already gulped seeing his this state, and his next words just complicated the present situation..

ASR-It was a JUST a Contract Marriage after all..! Right, Khushi?

ASR smirked in a mock, and spilled the beans of his and his PREGNANT WIFE's Contract Marriage!

But not only these three were there.. Buaji who forgot her purse on the Drawing room table had come back just to get a Big Shock along with Nani, Mami and Mama.. Mamaji too just came down after receiving a Call from the Hospital.. He was about to go to the hospital, but this scene made him halt in his tracks..

Everyone was shocked to know about ASR and Khushi's Contract Marriage, this was not even a wild possibility anyone imagined, EVER.. Most affected of anyone was Khushi.. She knew she had done a mistake of counting days pending for their Contract Marriage to End, but then.. Why did He take This Cruel Step? She was just waiting for him to come back and apologize to him once.. Why did he do This?

Her feet trembled and so did she.. She looked down not able to meet anyone's eyes and her tears started on their own..

He was drunk, Her ASR was drunk, and she knew well why.. That was even understandable if not acceptable, all was just her solo fault.. But how could HE Do This?? She never in her Darkest Dream thought that their Little Hidden Dark Secret would come out in front of their families like that.. Khushi was scared and rooted in her place as ASR came forward towards her throwing his Whiskey Bottle away to be cracked into pieces, just like Khushi's heart..

Before he could reach Khushi, Nani came in between and pushed Arnav..

Nani-Chote? Are u drunk..?

ASR-As a matter of fact, I am, Naniji..

Nani covered her nose and ASR mocked.. He pushed Nani aside to move ahead towards his shivering wife with RED eyes.. Nani held him from behind and made him face her again..

Nani-Arnav! U are not in ur senses to know what u are saying..

Arnav jerked away Nani's hand and looked at Khushi..

ASR-Khushi.. Uh oh..! Sorry, Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada for Next 2 weeks.. They wont believe me.. But u know everything so well.. They will believe u.. Make it all clear to them, as u reminded me.. Plz do the honours..

He spoke with that stinking mouth and his words shook every cell of Khushi's body.. She was highly ashamed to react anything at this moment.. Fresh fat tears ran down her eyes as she shut them tight feeling every eye of this Family on her..

ASR was a Lion always, but its said that a Hurt Lion is more dangerous.. Same could be applied here..

Khushi was damm scared to reply to anything and she just wanted to run away.. ASR dropped himself on the Sofa next to which Khushi was standing, as he finally lost the ability to stand properly.. Khushi sobbed and their was silence all around..

Nani came forward to stand in front of Khushi and asked her shaking her shoulders..

Nani-Khushi bitiya, Chotte is drunk.. He does not know what he is saying, haina? Tell me all this is not true.. Tell me.. Khushi..

Khushi was just looking down and she waved Nani's hands off her shoulders taking a step back.. Her silence revealed the truth out.. There was a moment of silence again and Buaji came forward next..

Buaji was fully in her angry mode now..

Buaji-Khushi.. Ae Khushi.. Look at me.. LOOK AT ME.. Is it true? Is damaadji speaking the truth? TELL ME.. KHUSHI.. TELL ME.. What will I answer ur Parents Khushi? TELL ME.. Is this true?

Khushi looked at Arnav once with her teary eyes and continued looking down.. Still unable to meet anyone's eyes, she nodded a YES and Buaji turned her face away from Khushi's.. Khushi immediately looked up and spoke..

Khushi-But there is a reason behind all this Buaji.. We -  -

Buaji-ENOUGH Khushi ENOUGH.. First u married someone without our consent.. We never though to forgive u.. U won our hearts again somehow and today we come to know u did a Contract Marriage? What is all this Khushi?

Khushi had lost ability to find any words to speak right now.. Even if she tried to open her trembling lips to speak, Buaji raised her hand and STOPPED her from speaking.. Khushi knew she and Arnavji were wrong to do this Contract Marriage but the family dint know why this was done.. Whatever the reason maybe, it was anyway wrong and Khushi had to remain silent and listen to everything right now, quietly..

Buaji-We were so proud of u Khushi.. We knew u were stupid and u could go mad beyond limits at times, but then, how can u forget the Sanskaars (values) we gave u.. How can u let anyone question on our upbringing..?

Nani was equally angry on Arnav too, but he was not in a state to listen to anything.. Nani felt Buaji going overboard on Khushi, after all she was not at fault alone.. Nani went besides Buaji and held her shoulders from behind..

Nani-Madhumatiji, control urself.. Not only Khushi alone, but also our Arnav is equally responsible for this.. Plz be calm.. Khushi should not be stressed..

Buaji looked at Khushi angrily while Naniji took a step ahead to come in between Khushi and Buaji..

Nani-Bitiya, will u answer me something? Why did u do this.. No more hiding.. Tell us everything now..

Khushi looked at Nani and her Buaji behind, and at Mami Mama who too were waiting for some answers.. Khushi looked down and saw her Arnavji once and thought if she should tell this or allow him? She decided, and revealed about the Contract Marriage thing being true, and also disclosed the reason behind it which just made them go in a shock..

Khushi behaved strong after running a river through her eyes.. She kept looking at Arnav and spoke it all out how and why and where and in what Conditions their Contract marriage came into existence.. She made the whole matter crystal clear, and not once did she let her Arnavji down, not wanting anyone to hate him.. Maybe this could be her repentance for what and how she spoke to him in the morning..

This Fact of Contract Marriage was digested by the Family members and they decided to forgive Arnav and Khushi and forget.. There was nothing else they could do now..  

Nani asked Mami to get some water from Khushi, and asked Mama to take Arnav up to his room.. Nani was quite now but Buaji was NOT.. Khushi was sitting on the Sofa next to Nani, and Mami came with a glass of Water for Khushi.. The last few minutes had been really stressful for everyone, and her (Khushi) especially..

Buaji who was not able to control her temper anymore, got up to move towards Khushi..

Buaji-Khushi.. Stand up.. U are not staying here anymore..

Khushi looked at her Buaji with big eyes getting hyper..

Nani-Madhumati ji - -

Buaji-Plz excuse me Naniji but Khushi wont be staying here anymore.. Come with me Khushi..

Mamaji who had been trying to pull Arnav and make him stand, gained his semi consciousness and saw Buaji present there, pulling his wife to make her stand up.. His vision was still not clear, and his head was still heavy with the alcohol effect.. He tried to get up and stand taking Mamaji's support.. He was not able to do anything but listen to what was happening and observe whatever little he can..

Buaji managed to pull Khushi and there Khushi was pulled to stand up on her feet..

Khushi-Buaji no.. Plz, leave me here.. I don't want to come there..

Buaji was adamant not to listen to anyone and held Khushi's upper arm to PULL her from here.. Just then..

ASR roared from behind..

ASR-Khushi kahi nahi jayengi.. (Khushi wont go anywhere..)

Khushi looked behind and struggled to go behind him (ASR), still not wanting to part from her Beast.. However he was, he was hers!

Buaji-Stop it Khushi.. Can't u see? This is not at all what I expected from u, but u have crossed every limit.. U did something after which no one in this Society will respect u.. Ur Contract Marriage Ends in 2 weeks right? Come today itself.. I cant leave u here.. I am ur Bua.. No one but I will think for ur good.. I want no more arguments.. U did what u did.. Now better move out with me.. Chalo..

Khushi-Buaji plz, try to understand..

Mami and Mama were just silent viewers.. Nani was also helpless.. Buaji was right in her own way, but Khushi was also not ready to part from her Love.. Who was wrong? No one, just the situation..

Buaji twitched her nose and poured her anger out on Khushi..

Buaji-What is there to understand now? No one shall accept u in this Society, can't u get this much thing in ur head?

Khushi-But Buaji, I am pregnant..

Khushi replied quietly sobbing low now.. Buaji had almost forgotten that for a while.. Suddenly Buaji was gone numb too..

Buaji's heart pumped twice with a beat and she left Khushi's arm.. ASR took small steps towards his wife and Buaji gritted her teeth still looking at Khushi.. Khushi had never seen Buaji this much angry even before a few minutes.. What happened suddenly?

Buaji-Khushi! U did a Contract Marriage right? Then why did u cross ur limits being a Woman and give ur everything to ur Contracted Husband? How could u? I can't believe this! U married HIM to save ur Jiji's wedding, BUT then, why did u allow HIM near u? U were going to part from him after this Contract ends then WHY did u do something which was NOT right Khushi? How can u let him DO anything which crossed ur Contract?? U dint even marry him properly.. How could u do this being a Gupta?? How could u?

Buaji raised her hand on Khushi and a scared Khushi closed her eyes tucking down her head on her either side.. Nani and other's mouth opened wide enough seeing Buaji about to slap Khushi, when ASR gained his senses back (not fully though) and came in between to STOP Buaji..

Buaji was stunned.. She dint even wish to see Arnav's face now, and here he was now holding her hand which she raised on her pregnant daughter like Khushi.. She was so carried away to realize she raised her hand..

Khushi dint feel Buaji's slap and releasing her breathe she had been holding for long, she opened her eyes to see her Husband standing ahead her, covering for her.. ASR looked in Buaji's eyes with HIS anger cutting Buaji's and spoke in a warning tone..

ASR-Yeh galti dubara nahi honi chahiye Buaji.. (Don't do this mistake ever again Buaji..)

Saying that, he left Buaji's hands and Buaji looked down feeling guilty of her own act.. Arnav went besides Khushi and held her shoulders from the sides.. Still looking at Buaji, he continued gaining more of his senses now..

ASR-Khushi meri patni hai, aur maine apne alawa kisi ko haqq nahi diya usse chhune ka, toh thappad toh bahot duur ki baat hai.. (Khushi is my wife, and I have not given any right to anyone except me, to touch her.. So don't even think of slapping her..)

ASR had been listening and watching to everything going around sitting on the Chair, just that he was a little drunk to react.. But after a certain moment, he had seen such things, which forced him to come back from his drunk state.. He was almost stable now.. More of an ASR though!

Khushi's eyes raised to see her husband again for her, by her side.. ASR looked at his family members and barked..

ASR-So u all know everything now.. Its nothing to be dragged.. Accept it as a fact, and don't create any mess for Khushi.. I want this thing to be FINISHED right HERE.. I wont talk anything more on this, neither would Khushi.. Think whatever u want.. My WIFE is pregnant, and she needs rest.. HP .. HP..

Arnav yelled holding Khushi's hands.. He still dint look at her, and ordered HP who came there..

ASR-Get Khushi's dinner in MY Room within next 5 minutes.. A minute late, and ur off to ur village.. Got it?

ASR was BACK and this time he wont be quite so soon.. The family was quite for now, and so was ASR.. But was this the silence which usually happens prior to a storm? May be YES..

HP nodded and was about to leave when ASR interupetted him..

ASR-HP.. Before brining her dinner, clean that..

He pointed to the Whiskey Glass Bottle's remains which was shattered on the ground.. HP nodded and not waiting there for even a second, ASR pulled Khushi UP with him to their room to leave the Family quite and speechless..
