Chapter 2

Next day

Everyone in Gupta and Raizada families were very happy except Arnav and Khushi. This was happening something for the first time against their wish and definitely they were not at all liking it. The past whole day they had been planning all the possible ways of escaping this situation but nothing worked out. The never wanted tomorrow to come but this was something which was not in their

hands. All the efforts failed and finally the day arrived when they have to meet each other. The only question that was coming up in their minds was "how will they refuse the proposal".

Raizada mansion

A door bell ranged and a well dressed man entered with a bouquet in his hand. He directly steeped towards his room opened it quietly and lied down next to Anjali who was sleaping peacefully and hugged her tight. This sudden action by a stranger scared Anjali and made her scream loud but the man instantly covered her mouth..

"Relax, its me"

"Shyam ji ,aap (and instantly hugging him tight) you scared me"

"(Still hugging Anjali tight)sorry sweetheart but wanted to surprise you and the baby"

Anjali blushed listening this and hit him lightly on his chest. " Thank you Shyam ji and I love you"

Shyam-"Love you too"

Anjali-(still hugging him)" chalo now get up otherwise we will be late. I need to complete so many works today and had to buy so many gifts and..."

Shyam -(cutting her off in the middle)" relax Anjali...relax...first tell me for what you need to buy so many gifts and why are you so excited"

Anjali-" I told you na that chotte has agreed for the marriage and today we are going to meet Khushi ji".

Shyam-"Reeeaaalllyyy...but how did he agreed...what played you both played on him this time"

Anjali-"arrey all tricked failed but you know I yesterday actually fainted in his room and I especially asked the doctor to scare Arnav by saying that I am under some stress and she did so and see( with a sense of victory smirk) he is now ready"

Shyam-"great job...but we would have done this long back"

Anjali immediately understood what he meant and pulled back from the hug-"Stop being so naughty and now come on...Get up...otherwise he will get a reason to refuse the proposal again"

Shyam-" haan you are right...lets get ready"

Both of them got up from the bed and got ready to head towards the dinning table for breakfast.

Gupta house

Everyone in the house was busy in the preparations of welcoming Raizadas. They are very rich people and their likings and disliking must be also different from them. So all in the gupta family was trying every possible move to impress Raizadas but the girl who was suppose to be the most activated today was dull today. Her mind was only occupied with the thought "what if he agrees for this marriage".? Her thoughts were broken by the sudden entry of Payal holding khushi's dress for the evening.

Payal-"khushi ... you ok...what happened to you?"

Khushi-"nothing di (and faked a smile)

Payal-(cupping her face)" you don't want to marry haina"

Khushi -(hugging her hard )-"didi please do something...I don't want to marry him at this moment. I have my future to plan and this marriage..."

Payal-"I am helpless Khushi...i am sorry ...but you can talk to Arnav regarding your studies when he comes home to meet you. If he agrees for your studies then you can marry him but he say no then there is no point left for this marriage to happen."

Khushi-"but didi...(wipping her tears) are you sure he will not fake about this.. what if he says yes here and then after marriage he refuse everything then??"

Payal-"that wont happen...they are very rich people and they cant fake out such a big thing..."

Khushi-"di but"

Payal-"now stop troubling yourself Khushi...trust me ma baba will not let anything bad happen to you...(giving her the dress) "now come on get ready its already 4:00. They must be coming anytime "

Khushi-(with a sad face )-"ok didi (and went to change)

AT AR

Arnav was restless in his office. He just cant avoid the situations . his di is under stress because of him but he cant marry someone else apart from Lavanya. They had been together from a long time and they want to marry each other but Arnav knew that his family wont accept Lavanya as their daughter in law. He came office early today so that he can plan something but he failed for the first time. His mind was busy in these thoughts when Lavanya entered his cabin.

Lavanya-"what happened Arnav...Is something bothering you"

Arnav-"di is pregnant"

Lavnaya -"what...??? Its such a good news and you are sitting here with troubled face"

Arnav-"I know but she wants me to meet a girl today at 5:00 and doctor said that because of me she is under stress and that is not good for her health"

Lavanya-"then tell her that you love me"

Arnav-"are you nuts???what are you thinking my family will accept you??? Never not atleast in this birth they will not accept you as my wife"

Lavanya-"but why is your di interfering in your life...its your life and only you have the right to live it then why is ..."

Arnav (cutting her in the middle)-"i had already told and telling you the last time my di is everything for me... and she will do things only for my good..."

Lavanya-"so you will marry any girl of your di's choice"

Arnav-(He was about tou say yes but then he suddenly realizes to whom he is talking to and with a dull voice replies)"I will make her understand"

Lavanya-"but when???...its already high time...you had been ignoring things from quite a long time and now I cant take it anymore...and what are yyou going to do today???"

Arnav-"please Lavanya stop it...(anger aroused in him)...I will not go anywhere??...i will tell di that I had a meeting and I could not make it on time...this is the only way left...and I think looking at my carelessness no one will be ready to give their daughter's hand to me..."

Lavanya-"do what you want but...your carelessness and ignorance will cost good one day"

Arnav-"we will see that later but today let me handle this girl and he smirked.

Raizada mansion

"Where the hell is this Chotte... I had already told him to be on time but see "

Nani- "relax anjali,, he must have gone struck in the traffic must be coming soon anytime soon"

Shyam-" no nani he is in the office...his secratory is saying that an urgent meeting came up and he had to rush their"

Anjali-"I know what meeting he had"

shyam-"relax anjali...he said that he will be directly coming to gupta house "

nani-" ok when he is directly coming their then I think we should leave"

anjali-" hmm...ok"

All the family member sat in their respective cars and drove to the Gupta house.

As they reached their they were welcomed with full hearts and they entered their house.

Shashi and Garima took immense care that everything goes smooth. Every single thing was under their keen observation. Though they were not as rich as raizada but they try their level best to manage the things well and they somehow succeded in it.

Anjali was continuously calling him but his phone was out of reach.

Everyone was having normal chats but then came the girl whom was awaited for a long time holding a tray in her hand.Everyone was so impressed looking at her.Anjali's eyes welled up seeing her grown up. She instantly stood up and helped her to come . She made her sit and try comforting her.

Anjali-" you are looking so good... if mumma would have been here she would have taken you home without any formalities of this marriage"

This sentence inspite of relaxing her made her more nervous. Khushi was looking here and there when anjali instantly teased her-"are you looking for chotte...hmm...he must be coming..."

An hour passed and their was no sign of him. Garima and Shashi were quite nervous now but Nani somehow managed the situation -" chotte must be a bit busy ,he must be coming any minute"

This was satisfying them only for a moment and looking at Khushi's dull face they were not at all happy with this.

An another hour passed and still arnav didn't came but Khushi was now comfortable with them. Now it was time for them to leave but what will be Khushi's decision after this big mess created by Arnav was a big question mark for them. They were all a bit nervous.

Anjali-"seems like Chotte had liked Khushi ji so much in the picture that he directly wants to meet her in the mandap"

Garima-"but..."

Anjali-"trust me aunty...Khushi ji will be very happy with him..i gurantee you this..we want her to be the Raizada bahu.."

Before Garima could say anything Khushi interrupted "but I will marry only on a condition"

All were shocked by this.

Nani-"what condition beta?"

Khushi-" I am sorry nani ji but I want to continue my studies even after the marriage"

Anjali-"oh...such a small thing...don't worry you are free to study as much as you want...and even chotte would like this...haina nani"

Nani-"yes beta you are free to study as much as you want"

This assurance was enough for khushi..and finally their marriage was fixed after a week as Anjali wanted Arnav to marry as soon as possible and a after a week there was not a holy day left for an year for the marriage. Both the families agreed on this and finally Raizadas left for their home.

Khushi was now ready for the marriage. The love love anjali, Nani and other family members were showering on her was perfect for her and she hoped arnav would love her too the way his family is loving her

Late night at Raizada mansion

Everyone was sitting on the dining table when Arnav entered. Arnav was bit confused looking at their happy faces. "Di...and he advanced towards her"

Anjali was very angry with him and did not felt a need to answer him.

(kneelling down infront of his sister) "di...I know you are angry but I was too busy and I know my di will soon find another girl for my marriage better than this one"

Anjali-"nani...tell this person... I am not going to find any other girl for his marriage"

Arnav somewhat wanted this to happen a long back but still he said-"but why di..."

Nani-"chotte we already fixed your marriage.."

Arnav literally chocked with this sentence and said"WHAT???? But with whom???

Anjali-"with Khushi ji"

Anrav-"how could you do this di...I had never seen her before and you fixed my marriage with her."

Akash-"that too next week and tomorrow is your engagement"

This was another shock for him.

"What???? Next week and tomorrow"

Anjali-" Yes next week because we think Khushi ji is perfect for you and I don't think we should waste anytime now"

Arnav -"but di.."

Anjali (she cut him off in the middle)" and I gave you the photo which you threw in the distbin. then I called you to meet her, but you didn't came so its your fault not mine and you will see her tomorrow in the engagemaent ceremony directly"

Arnav-"di its not a joke"

Anjali-"I know its not a joke and that is why I am telling you the truth...even you fixed my marriage with shyam ji without even asking me did I said anything???"

Arnav-"so you are taking revenge of that"

Anjali-"if I would have been living a sad life then I would have did so...but see I am happy with him...and I am sure you will be happy with Khushi ji too"

Nani-"yes...chotte she is a very nice girl"

Anger was on his heights in him. He started walking towards his room and screamed only one thing"I am not marrying anyone"

Everyone knew that his anger will vanish with time and he will be happy with her. On the other hand Arnav was throwing down everything which came in his way. He went to the dustbin kept in his room and emptied it in a hope to find the evelope which anjali gave him yesterday but failed.

He threw the dustbin away.

"I know you are marrying me for the damn money Ms Khushi...but I promise you that you will never get anything from me..you are taking the advantage of my di's pregnancy but...I will only make you rot in hell...i will force you to walk out of this marriage..."
