Blue lotus Part 10
Lavanya was tense to hear Khushi's reply.
Khushi:No Lavanyaji.Luckily I did'nt become pregnant. I thank God for that.If I had become pregnant my family would have suffered.
L:I'm sorry Khushi.
K:Why do you need to say 'sorry'?
She just walked away.
Lavanya felt sad.
Lavanya went towards Arnav with food.
A:I am not coming for the wedding.I told you.Right?
Lavanya smiled:Ok..I am not forcing you.But have food.You skipped lunch also.
A:Ok.Kee it there and go.I will have it.
L:Ok.
Lavanya kept the food on table and went out.
Jayashree,Khushi and Lavanya attended Akash-Payal's wedding.
While everyone was enjoying there Akash went to a lonely area to meet Lavanya.
Ak:Why did you call me?Please tell me fast.I am the bride groom.I have to go back soon.
L:Sorry for disturbing you.But I don't have any other option.I have to find out something. It's really urgent.If it gets delayed things will be out of our hand.That's why I called you.
Ak:I can't understand anything.What are you saying?
L:Akash..you were supposed to get married to Khushi.Right?Then why did you break up with him?You both were lovers.Right?
Akash was shocked to hear it.
Ak:Yes,my marriage was fixed with Khushi.But we were not dating each other.It was a pure arranged marriage…I mean it was our parents' decision.We were never in love.
Lavanya was confused:You both were not in love?
Ak:No.
She thought:Then who was the guy who was seen with Khushi?Was it some other guy?
L:Why did the wedding get cancelled? Is it because you felt that it was not worth marrying Khushi?Because her character was not good…?I mean morally she was not that good?
Akash lost his control.
Ak:Stop it.I am not saying anything back just because you are Khushi's Madam.Otherwise…
Lavanya was shocked.
Ak:Khushi is a nice girl.The person who marries her will be the luckiest person in this world.The wedding got cancelled because I felt that she was not made for me.She really deserves a better person.She herself told me that she can't marry me.Because she has never seen me like that.She believed that if she marries me that will be equal to cheating me as she never loved me.I knew from the beginning that Khushi was not interested in me.From a person's behavour we can understand that.Right?I felt sad.But trust me..I was not depressed as I was not in love with her.God has found Payal for me.She is my true love.
Lavanya got confused again.She tried to cross check him.
L:But if I say that there were people who saw you both at the bus stand?From there you both travelled by car.Right?
Ak:Yes.Must be.I'm not denying.Khushi wanted to meet me personally to tell me that she can't marry me. So I came to the bus stand.Then I dropped her home.
L:You both were roaming about at night also…enjoying in the rain…having night drive..very romantic.
Ak:What rubbish!She wanted to go to Jayashreeji's house from the bus stand.She was waiting for an auto.May be because of heavy rain she did not get any auto.Accidently I came that way to drop someone home.I am a taxi driver.Hope you know that.I saw her drenched in rain.I held umbrella for her.It was night.Very dangerous.So I dropped her home.Do you call that romance?Khushi is my sister in law…my sister.
Lavanya felt very upset.
Suddenly they saw Payal standing behind them.
They felt awkward about the fact that Payal heard their unpleasant conversation.
P:I heard everything.I never knew that you could think like this about our Khushi Lavanyaji.She thinks that you are a great woman.But actually you are..we saw your true face.
Lavanya felt guilty.
L:I am sorry.Not that I suspected Khushi..i just wanted to know the truth.
P:What truth do you want to know?About Akashji's and Khushi's relationship?
I know everything.Akashji had told me everything.
Lavanya felt very upset.
After returning home Lavanya looked at Arnav who was sleeping.
She thought:I know the truth now.Now what should I do?I should save my married life or a poor girl's life?
The next day…
Lavanya went towards Arnav.
L:Arnav,I want to talk to you.
A:If it is about Khushi I don't want to hear.
L:Arnav…
A:Lavanya…I am not telling that I was always right.I did a big mistake by marrying you to take revenge on Khushi.By doing that I spoiled your life.God won't forgive me.I'm sorry Lavanya.
Lavanya's eyes got welled up with tears.
L:Now you are doing a mistake Arnav.Only I can correct you.If I don't correct you God will not forgive me.
A:What do you mean?
L:Khushi is innocent.
Arnav stared at her.
