Chapter 1

I couldn't believe this was happening to us. My Bauji lay infront of me struggling to live and all i could do was cry and hope for him to get better. Why is it that God always tested us like this. I looked up at Payal Di, Amma and Buaji, they were all broken. i wiped my tears knowing that i had to be strong. I had to be the pillar but how, how was it possible when my Buaji, the most important person in my life was struggling, struggling to live. Without any warning tears came rolling down my cheeks.

Suddenly Bauji moved. I looked to see wat had happened to him. He was pointing towards Shyam Ji. Trying to say something, something very important but wat?? I looked up at my family but got the same blank look from them.

"Bauji wat's wrong do u have to say something?" i asked carefully.

Bauji nodded pointing towards Shyam Ji. It hurt to see Bauji like that so helpless and hurt.

"Shashi do u want Shyam to marry Khushi?" Buaji asked suddenly breaking the silence. I quickly looked up. Wat?Shyam Ji marrying me? Wat was Bua saying? Shyam ji was just a close friend and nothing else.

"Buaji wat are u saying?" i asked, shocked.

"Khushi Shashi wants u to marry Shyam, so ur life will be secured, don't u Shashi?" Buaji asked bauji. I looked at Bauji who was trying to say something. It felt like this was not wat he wanted, there was more to it.

"Buaji this is not the right time to talk about this." Payal di said.

"But Payal today or tomorrow we have to talk about this, after all Khushi is getting married to Shyam." Buaji Complained.

This was the end! Here my father was struggling between life and death and all buaji cared about was getting me married to Shyam Ji. A stranger..who we didn't even know much about? How could such an idea even cross her mind. This was pointless. I could feel my world falling apart and all i could do was stand and watch. More tears came rolling down my cheeks, my heart ached, i could feel my cheeks burning with anger and disgust. I had to get out of here.

Without another word i stood up and rushed out of the Hospital Room. Once outside my mind told me to run so i did. I ran as fast as my legs would allow me. The Corridor was deserted, i felt so lonely as if everyone had left me in the middle of no where.

Suddenly i stopped, all energy was washing away, i held on to the side wall for support. I wish Arnav Ji was here, Wait Khushi wat are u thinking. Since when did u start thinking about the laad Governor. Why would he come, why would he care about a chotti hasiyaat ki ladki like me. I shook my head in disgust. He would never come!

But suddenly my heart skipped a beat. This always happened when he was around. I looked up quickly and sure enough i saw Arnav Ji standing only a few meters away from me. I blinked back the tears to make sure it was him. Once i was sure i lost all control. My heart took over my brain and without any more hesitation i ran upto him. Never had i been so grateful to see him before. Without thinking or registering my actions i hugged him. Wrapping my arms around his waist. It felt like home, it felt like the most normal thing to do.

(Arnav's point of view)

She ran upto me and wrapped her arms around me leaving me shocked. Soon after she started crying, tightening her hold on my sweetshirt. I stood there not knowing how to react. I wanted to comfort her, to tell her that everything will be fine but didn't know how to do it.

Her body fit to mine, it felt like the most logical thing in the world. I had a sudden urge of staying like that forever and never letting go. My brain usually guided me about wat to do but this time it gave away and my heart took over. Without thinking any further i wrapped my arms around her tightening the hug. My hand stroked her hair while the other rested on her back. It felt like my life had been given back to me, and all i wanted to do was to hold on to it forever. All emotions were making their way back to my heart. In that minute i knew, i knew that this girl had changed something in me forever. In those few miuntes i found all the answers to the questions that had been residing in my head. All these questions had only one answer and that was that i was in love with Khushi Kumari Gupta.

So here it is...this is just wat i think might happen. Please share ur opnions

love Ammie
