Chapter 45

Khushi: ''Listen aman,, arnav isn't coming today?'' She asked in a low voice. He was little hesitant before proceeding.

Aman: ''No mam, some important work come up so he probably come within couple of days..''

''What.. couple of days?'' Her eyes popped out. Hell! But tomorrow is our wedding..how could he do this to me? Her temper was getting high by every passing second. He was not picking her call neither replying for any message. Sigh! He don't care about me! how could he be so insensitive?

There is a limit of irresponsibility..i won't forgive you arnav this time...you are gone now!! She clenched her fist and tried hard to control the hurt. Whenever she got little happiness, destiny played any nasty game and snatched everything which she had. She looked at A' in her palm that adoring her heena and kissed it.

''Arnav where are you? Please come back..please.'' She had an argue within her heart but sooner her patience drained as the time passes. She began sobbing gripping pillow near her heart. Thousands of thoughts crossing her mind. Last time when he went missing and didn't turn up in alter, she broke down completely but if again..nooo! ..nothing happened to him..she console herself and tried to be normal..arnav you can't betray me this time! You promised me! You have to come..you have to! Few hours passed but no one knows where he gone. She was getting scared now. Anjali entered and saw her laying on the bed with her back facing her. She came round and sat next to her with her hand tenderly carelessing her. She got up wiping her tears and hugged anjali.

Khushi: ''Di he don't love me...everything is a lie...this marriage is not going to happen anytime soon..he again left me wi-..'' Her tears were falling like a raindrops. Anjali looked on worried

Anjali: Shh..don't say like that..chotte will come..i will rang him don't worry..'' she tried to convince her and khushi nodded weakly with a small ray of hope.

Anjali got her mobile and dial arnav's number. After few rings when he pick up she started shotting him.

''Chotte where are you? Is this the way to behave? Do you have any idea what khushiji going through? Why your phone is unreachable? There is no reply by other end and then she hear beep sound.

''Answer me?'' Suddenly phone been disconnected. ''Hello..hello..'' She again tried his number but now its switched off.

''What's wrong??''

******

Jiya jumped in her bed and demanded her mother to put her to sleep. Turning around she tried to smile but jiya caught her sulky face.

Jiya: ''Mumma you are crying?'' She made her look into her eyes and touched her cheeks.

Khushi: ''Nahi toh..'' She tried to be cheerful and wipe strain of tears quickly before switching off light.

Jiya: ''Mumma..did papa-..'' Khushi closed her mouth and curdle her into her arms by patting her back to put her sleep as soon as possible so that she could avoid her query. After a moment while, She went into sleep into her mother arms and khushi began playing all the flashbacks with painful anger and hurt. Putting jiya back into bed, she went toward the terrace and stood for the longer time to erase those pain that ran in her heart. She inhale the cold breeze coming in her way to maintain some sanity but it was not helping to sooth her.

Tomorrow was supposed to be our wedding but he spoil it everything and again broke my heart by bringing her to the same place where she used to be..alone without her love..her arnav. She meant nothing to him..he don't care about her! He don't want to marry her? All those ill thoughts create a deep scar in her heart and she started crying hardly. As she was sobbing away, she didn't realize someone has peep through the pipe and jumped into terrace. Suddenly she felt someone presence when she heard a loud sound. Her eyed narrowed in shocked and terror. She gulped hard clutching her kurta in tremor that ran through her by realizing a stranger entered at this time of night. She immediately composed herself by grabbing wooden stick to beat the thief who dare to barged in. A hand touched her shoulder and she immediately recognized him straightaway. She closed her eyes and stick slipped from her hand. She began feeling tearful again. She still can't believe her eyes he was in front of her eyes. Without thinking anything, she tiptoes into his arms. All her anger and pain washed away in a second seeing him safe.

''I thought I lost you..'' She uncontrollably started kissing his face all over and throw herself into his raw arms. His hot warmth was enough to melt her.

''Hame laga aap nahi ayenge..'' (I thought you will not come..'' Cupping her face, he kissed her forehead.

''Do I have a choice? She broke the hug and hit him. Realization drawn upon her and she turned angrily.

''I don't want to see your face...Just go away..'' He snake his hand around her waist and she moved off creating distance.

''Khushi?'' He sound upset but yet determine to put things right. He stood just behind her and saw her shedding tears with her back facing him.

He came near her and touch her tenderly. Naraj ho mujhse? (Angry with me?)She quickly wiping her tears and turned back controlling the rage.

''You know your nose turn red when you get angry and you look more cuter..'' He tease her with a small smile to lighten her mood. She pushed him by his chest. Suddenly she raised her voice out of hurt.

''Stop it arnav..what you think I'm to you? You are the one who wanted me in your life and when I gave in you went back leaving me alone. Don't you think I had a feelings when you took me back to the same place how do I felt? Can you imagine how I felt when no one knows about you whereabouts. Only I knows how these hours passed without you..'' Coming close, he held her hand by guiding her in the middle and then took a seat beside her.

''So you missed me?'' She moved her hand back angrily.

''I had a bad headache..don't pissed me off..'' She walked off when suddenly she felt a pull on her wrist and who it could be.

''Leave me alone like you always does..You don't love me anymore..all your love vanishes as I..'' Her words left incomplete when furiously he put his hand around her waist and pulled her closer abruptly.

''Don't you dare say that again..''He looked at her intensely and interlocked his hand around her.

''If you love me then why the hell you left me and your daughter alone at this stage of life when we need you so much than anything else..how many times jiya ask about you what should I tell her? I don't want her to grow up without her father love like I do..'' He remain silent feeling terribly seeing tears in her eyes. He rubbing her back up and down to calm her. Currently its not a correct time to comment on this. Silently he wipe her tears and looked at her guiltily.

Lowering his head, he sincerely apologized.

''I m sorry..really sorry..'' For the first time he bowed his head in front of someone but for khushi he can do anything..anything. She felt touched by the sincerity in his eyes. Our relation is bonded with trust and love and I promise I will never broke this trust. His last word pierced her and she seems lost in deep thought. Did she breaking his trust? He continued with serious face.

''I will always love with all my heart and never do anything that may hurt you..'' He vowed and extended his hand expecting the same. She gaze at him and then at his hand. He had so much faith in their love and what she is giving in return? She cursed herself and felt a burden in her heart of hiding the biggest truth about his sister. Should I told him about anjali pregnancy news? Somewhere she felt she took a wrong decision and ruin everything.

''Kaha khoyi ho?'' (Where you lost?) He asked poking her nose and she lowered her gaze unable to carried her eyes.

''What if someday I may hurt you by one wrong step?'' She asked impatiently in an instant, cannot hold herself without asking.

''It will never happen!'' He confidently stated with lot of faith in his eyes. She felt her heart stop throbbing. How could I start a new life without clearing this matter. Taking a sharp grasp, she decided to open up.

''Arnav I wanted to tell you something..I..''

''Shh.. khushi I know what you are feeling but may be you should open up your feeling in different way..'' She was totally oblivious by the hidden meaning behind those words. He smiled and in next moment he held her kurta and pushed it up revealing her upper body to his naked eyes. Her breathe quicken in anticipation. She felt a strange sensation when his hand touches her there. Her entire attention diverted. Using his fingers, he touched her lips seductively and she closed her eyes. Feeling shy to reveal herself, she hugged him tightly and then he unhook her bra to remove barrier between them.

Arnav..'' she trying restraining him and covered her face with her both hands.

''Dar lag raha hain..'' (Scared are we) She shyly nodded and tried protesting.

''What you're doing..'' She whimpered by his mere touch.

''We are becoming one so why not rehearse a little before a day..'' Feeling shy, she grabbed her dupatta to put on her exposed posture and he placed a small kiss on her spine.

''Please don't do this..'' There face were really close now and his eyes dropped on her lips.

''I want to make love to you..''

''Arnav..i..I ..'' She don't dare to raise her head, still stood in half naked clothes in front of him.

''Don't worry we already bear the consequence of premarital sex..Won't repeat again..'' He chuckled letting her wear her clothes. Her cheeks turn pinkish.

''Arnav I want to tell you why I married jatin..'' He interrupted.

''Khushi let me speak today..you and me never stop loving each other despite of lot of differences and hurdles but now I wanted to gave you everything which I failed in start..'' Her eyes twinkled in happiness. Our family is complete and its time to relish that so stop bothering about past..it wont matter to me anymore..for me you and jiya is most important part of my life. Its not time for tears..its time to think about present and future. After tons of wait, this day coming in our life so don't think about past and lets move on..'' She nodded hugging him. His words gave her strength and she breathe freely. She don't wanted to ruin this moment by bringing past in between and wondered to tell him later when right time came. She rested her head on his chest and smiled lovingly.

''Arnav I can't wait or our wedding..its like a dream coming true.. only few hours then I m all yours..'' There is a hint of passion and madness in his eyes.

''8 hours to go till then get rid of this shyness. He lean and whispered. Slowly khushi lifted her eyes and bit her lips in nervousness. She was flushed.

''You are going to come with proper dulha. She tried to divert the topic.

''Really?'' He arched his eyebrow and pulled her for a kiss. She closed her eyes and enjoying him giving her small kisses. It remind her old times when he use to make her feel when they were close. Arnav felt something have pinch him from behind.

''Khushi stop ruining our romantic moment..'' He go irritatant pulled her more close and kissing her senselessly. Again he got the pinched and made an annoyed face.

''What the..'' He looked on irritatant. Khushi doesn't understand what had happened. That's when realization drawn upon him.

''Papa what you doing with mumma..'' Jiya rubbed her eyes and saw her papa doing something with her mumma, shotting an angry glare. He groaned and she immediately pushed him away when heard her daughter voice. She made a o-shape. Jiya stare at him unblinkably with her hands on her hips. Both were tongue tied. Khushi got up and fixed her dupatta feeling embarrassed.

He picked jiya up into his arms and explained to her he was singing lolipony for her. He winked at khushi and khushi say nothing but stare at him.

''And how you came inside..main door is locked?..'' She was in no term to stop her investigation and khushi giggled.

''Bilkul apni ma apne gayi hain..'' (carbon copy of mother) She took jiya from his arms and ran from there before he start again. He gave her evil smile looking at her retreating figure. Suddenly his expression changed when his mobile beeps. He rang aman and enquire something.

******

Next few hours passed quickly as arnav need to finish some important work. He didn't sleep whole night and at the same time he need to check some mails related to important work due to which he went missing from everyone eye. Aman helped him in all possible way and do as per his commands.

It was already midnight. Wedding preparation was in full swing in raizada mansion of arnav and khushi. They completed almost all rituals and now its time to take wedding vows. The alter was ready so does was priest started the mantras. Khushi was fidgeting getting nervous and exchanging glances at him. He keep staring at holy fire.Their first marriage day keep rolling back in her eyes when she was waiting for him and he met with accident. She brushed all those thoughts and smiled wondering finally the day is arrived when no boundries going to separate them.

On the other hand anjali felt bewildered when security guard told her a man was struggling and adamant to went inside. She was aware shyam would sneak inside and tried to confront her brother so she made a heavy security. Pheras started and till now anyhow she managed to stop him but for how long she don't know. She immediately ran outside before anyone caught what is going around.

She was stunned to find all the mens lying on the floor and then her eyes fell on shyam who was smirking al the time. She rushed toward him to stop him going inside but it was too late he already made his way inside.

''Don't you dare to move else you will lose your life..'' she pointed gun toward him clutching by her both hands. Her eyes were furiously red. He laughed seeing her new avtar.

''You have no courage to kill your own husband afteall I m your pati parmeshwar..'' Taking an opportunity he snatched gum from her hand. Her heart swallowed when he showed her their wedding photographs which he was about to show to his brother as a proof.

''Not bad..you made good effort to stop me meeting him but it won't affect me.. I m going inside..''

Noo..i won't let you move an inch..today is most important day in my chotte and khushiji's life..you cannot spoil it..'' She grabbed his hand before he took the step further.

''Oh so you will stop me.'' He waved her off and began walking. She took the charge and gave him last warning. He pushed her in a force and she fell down on the floor making gun slipped in the process. Blood oozes out and she hissed clutching her stomach. She was wepping badly and gather courage to stood on the feet by supporting the walls.

By the time shyam reached alter, arnav and khushi completed pheres and priest gave him mangalsutra and sindoor. Shyam was about to raise his voice when anjali came and struggled to get those photos from his hands. He grabbed her hairs and pushed her toward the wall behind before approaching toward the alter. Arnav just put sindoor and mangalsutra and both was about to stand to take blessing of elders but the sudden cries of anjali rooted their movement.

'Diii...'' She was looking at arnav who was looking horrify.

He was trembling in horror seeing his sister state in front of his eyes.
