Chapter 1

It was the darkest night for khushi.

She stood pale in front of the the glass closet flipping through her dresses. Suddenly her eyes caught Arnav's shirt, that reminded her the moment she tore it. Then came the moment when she thought about the time Arnav slide the bangles in her arms. His mothers bangle she thought.

A lone tear escaped her beautiful dear eyes. She clutched her shirt and kissed it. Then she folded it and placed it inside the cupboard.

Her yes caught the diary she had written 100 ways how to irritate her husband, she smiled thinking about those moments, how she tortured Arnav. Another lone tear dropped from the other eye. She clutched the dairy and held it against her heart hugging it crying bitterly.

Nothing was right in between her and Arnav still she loved every moment spent with him.

She realized it all the more when he got kidnapped. Her sleepless night, her worry, her longing to see him, her concern.

She closed her eyes, recollected the scenes which happened after Arnav was back to RM. How his di shut up with him, how mami accused her for Anjali's state.

Her eyes flew open, she grabbed her jute bag and started putting her clothes inside it remembering Nani ji's word, "Khushi bitiye Anjali Bitiya se dur hi rehna kyun ki aapko dekhke unko who sab pal yaad ayegi" Khushi's face turned into determination, she fasten her pace and put her stuffs inside her bag. She was about to run out of the room when she bumped into Arnav, who had a drenched look in his face until he saw her.

Arnav grabbed her by her arms, "Khushi tum thik to ho na?"

Khushi hide her bag behind her and looked down.

Arnav cupped her face and made her look at him "Khushi r u ok?"

Khushi nodded no.

Arnav cupped her other cheek, "Kya huya hai?" He asked affectionately.

"Who arnav ji…"

Arnav saw her hiding something behind her. He held her arm and bought it in front of him and saw the bag.

Arnav's eyes darted on her eyes, "Yeh sab kya hai?"

"Arnav ji, I was thinking that I should go and stay with buaji for sometime." Khushi stated.

"Kyun?" he asked.

"Bohot din ho gaya hai nahi gai"

"To"

"I am missing them."

"Is waqt?" he pointed towards the clock.

"Haan..woh" Khushi stammered.

"Sach Sach batao baat kya hai khushi? I hope you are not thinking about Nani's words. If you are thinking that then don't you dare step outside." he warned.

"Arnav ji, Nani ji thik hi bol rahi hai".

He didnt let her complete and grabbed her shoulder tightly…"I don't care kyun kya bol raha hai."

With that he pulled her with him and took her inside their room. Khushi struggle for release but his grip was just to tight.

 "Aranv ji chodiyen humme."

Arnav twrilled her round once they were in their room and locked the door. "How could you think of leaving me like this khushi?"

"Arnav ji, meye bus kuchi din ki liye………."

"Don't you dare think about it in near future."

"Arnav ji"

Arnav sealed his lips with hers holding her waist pulling her in his embrace while she struggled to release and finally managing to push him.

"Aap ki himmat kaise huyi mujhe is tarha se chune ki?", she said out of breath.

Arnav moving towards her while smirking, "tumne meri himmat abhi tak dekhi kahan hai?"

Khushi stepped backwards.

"Aap….aap aisa nahi kar sakte hai." she said feeling intimidated as usual.

"Meye kuch bhi kar sakta hoon khushi kumari guptasingh raizada."

"KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA…" she corrected her nervously.

"Tum shayad bhul gai ho ki tum meri patni ho." he said admiring her flushed cheeks.

"SIRF 6 months ke liye" she deadpan crossing her arms.

Arnav raised his eyebrows. "Oh really?"

"Aur who 6 months khatam hone mein ab kuch hi dinbaki hai. Uske baad.."

"Uske baad kya?" he brought his face dangerously close, fanning her locks with this breath.

"Uske baad…", she gulped.

"Kya khushi kumari gupta?" he traced his index finger long we face.

"Uske baad na hum apke patni rahengi aur nahi aap hummare pati. Hum dono ke beech mein jo contract huya tha who khatam ho jayega." she grabbed his finger to stop whatever he was trying to do.

Arnav again advanced towards her, "Oh really? Shayad tum yeh bhul rahi ho who contract khatam hone mein abhi bhi kuch din baaki hi. Aur tabtak tum meri pati ho. And let me tell you one thing Mrs. Khushi kumari gupta, before the contract ends I will make sure I make you MRS ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA in all possible ways. IN. ALL. POSSIBLE. WAYS. KHUSHI. Aur agar mera kiss karne se tumko itna problem hai to phir baar baar tumhara haath mujhe hug karne ke liye betaab kyun rehta hai? Why did you try to even find me when I was missing? Why did you hug me when you first saw me? Why were you not sacred of the dark that night when you were with me, when there was no light? You know why? Because you LOVE me more than I Love you and tumne is shaadi ko jiya hai. Aur ab meye jina chahta hoon, har woh rasam, har woh kasam, har woh cheez which I have deprived you from, I want to go through all those with you. And just with you.

Life without you in these 45 days were hell for me khushi, I have realized how much I loved you despite of all the odds. Now when we are together please don't leave me.

Khushi couldn't help but to hug him tightly, he hugged her back.

"I promise you that I will make things all right. But for that I need you beside me always."

Khushi smiled and looked at him cupping his face wiping his tears.

"aap rotey huye ache nahi lagte ho."

Arnav smiled, "To kaise achha hoon?

Khushi blushed, "Aap jab meri taraf….

"tumhari taraf?"

"aap jab bhi meri tarf badte ho…"

"Jab meye tumhari taraf barta hoon to?"

"To mere peyt meye kuch hone lagta hai"

"Pehle dharkan ab peyt?"

"Dhadkan?"

Arnav: Haan! Tumne mujhe kaha tha ki jab bhi meye tumhare samne ata hoon to tumhari dharken-e tez ho jati hai."

"Meine aapko kaha tha yeh? (hey DM meine LD ko kab kaha tha yeh?)"

"Kyun hoti hai dhakan tez khushi?"

"woh"

Arnav started closing the gap between them. She moved back again, but this time he pulled her towards him.

Khushi looking in his eyes "kyunki shayad hummari dhakanein ek ho jati hi."

Arnav smiled, "you remembered?"

Khushi smiled at him and blushed.
