Ok!! The second part of Revelation coz I know it was rather short but I didn't want to add Shyam in that part which belonged only to ArHi. Here it goes from where it ended. Ur comments n feedback will b highly appreciated😳
Khushi is still in Arnav's arms. She doesn't want to get away but she needs to clarify things with him before they go any further in their relationship. They have come together after many trials n Khushi will die if she is to lose him due to any misunderstanding. She sighs, gathers her courage and lifts her face to scan his. He looks at her with a loving smile, cups her face and draws her closer …He's been dying to kiss her and he moves closer… but Khushi turns away on time coz she knows if he kisses her then she is lost… this matter is serious n he needs to know!!
She is about to tell him the bitter truth, the treacherous Shyam's dark secret and it pains her to ruin his mood n their special moment , she closes her eyelids, takes a deep breath but before she could utter a single word, they hear some throat clearing sounds.
- Ahem!!Ahem!! Wats happening here? Chote u r packing up I suppose.
Nani Ji, Anjali n Akaash burst into laughter while our two love birds let go of each other, embarrassed!!
Khushi was shocked to know that it was only a drama by the family to get her to confess. Nani n Anji hug her and tell her they are too happy to have her in their midst, La has told them everything and that they now know their Chote is in good hands. Akaash exchanges knowing glances with his brother and says mischievously while the two sweet ladies look gleefully:
- We thought of sending u a suicide note Khushi ji just like we sent one to Payal Ji but we opted for Bhai's plan at the last minute!!
They all laugh at an embarrass Khushi who immediately says she needs to go home. Arnav was dying to drop her but he didn't dare coz they were all pulling his leg too much!!
Once Khushi reaches home she gets a call from her laad Governor. She smiles and asks teasingly
- Aap!! Again!! What do you want?
- Ok me hanging up then!!
- Listen… please… don't!!Oh Devi Mayya what do I do with this guy? Itna ghussa!!
They tease each other for minutes and keep telling each other sweet nonsense. They hang up with a large smile on their faces and looking like two happy kids. Chalky Arnav n Cheesy Khushi have indeed come a long way together.
Sleep has evaded both Khushi n Arnav and it will be very very difficult to spend this night. Kab subha hogi!! The two restless n excited lovebirds are unaware that there is somebody else who is having a sleepless night too!!
The next morning Khushi is getting ready and thinking about how to start the subject with Arnav but immediately brushes the tension aside and tells herself – it's gonna be fine. Arnav Ji will find a solution for Anjali Ji. She rushes out of her room n bumps into Buaji who starts her nandkisore jappams…
- Where are you going so early morning? There's so much work today!! You are going out with me the whole day. I don't want to hear anything. Your amma is taking your dad to the doctor.
- Ok ok !! Let me make a phone call first.
She dials Arnav number but he is not answering. Too bad!! She'll call her once back.
At the RM:
Arnav has just showered and is dressing up with a stupid smile on his face thinking of his Khushi. He has not heard the phone. A knock at his door brings him out of his dreamland. He is surprised to see… Shyam!! He is the last person who will come to see him so early in the morning…
- Jeeja ji aap!!
- I need to talk to u dear!!
The tone and gravity of his voice immediately alarm Arnav.
- Yes!! Is something wrong Jeeju?
- Well I dunno how to start the topic but I think you should know something very important.
Arnav is completely shattered after hearing what Shyam has confessed. What!! Khushi and his jeeju had an affair n Khushi has been blackmailing him after he has decided to call it quits with her!! All the blood seems to have been sucked out of his body and he feels completely numb. This must be a joke, no a nightmare…
The numbness subsides giving way to an uncontrollable ire, he wants to tear the man in front of him to pieces, to rip him apart, to…His brother in law and his Khushi…!!
Shyam moves closer to him with a repenting face and continues:
- I'm sorry. I can no longer keep this secret. I met khushi when she came in Delhi and helped her out n then she started having feelings for me and then her dad got the attack n everything just got complicated and I lost control of the situation… Khushi's chirpiness n bubbly nature… I … just went weak for a moment but I then realized my folly… broke every tie with her… but she…she threatened me to reveal everything to u ppl n to Rani Saheba n next time I'm hearing u n she…
Arnav does not let him continue, he can no longer bear it. He grabs his shirt collar, his fist ready to mess up his face…but he stops half way, realizing that the man in front of him is his adorable sister's husband- the man who means the world to her. His sister, his life, his support system…
- How dare you? U cheated on my sister and has the gut to come here n confess? I'll…
- Saale saab I'm sorry. I love my wife n I don't want to hurt her, I did unintentionally but khushi is playing a dangerous game, I just wanted to warn you coz I don't want you to get hurt later. I'm sure Khushi didn't tell u anything…
He let go of him, completely drained. He needs to be alone, his brain keeps bumping into his skull ready to burst… he needs to clear the mess in his head…
- Get out!! Leave me alone.
Shyam walks out with an evil smile while Arnav looks at his back disgustingly, feeling as if he has been stomped, beaten black n blue… ready to collapse any second.
N his head…, the bloody headache… he so wants to bang his head on the wall to get rid of this headache
No!! No!! He yelled. It can't be. Khushi won't hide such a serious matter from him. She won't dare!! But Jeeju? Why would he…? N then flashbacks of past events – an upset Khushi on SatyaNarayan Puja, the name- it can't be a coincidence…his heart keeps telling him to trust Khushi but his head refuse to get carried away by emotions.
Arnav Singh Raizada is a man of action, he has always take the bull by its horns, hewont stay idle n meditate on things. He needs to know and who else can clear things out for him!!...KKG of course!!
He storms outside, gets in the car…n Shyam is looking from the terrace with a smirk on his face – "too bad for u Khushi!! I guess you are in a soup coz I have already secured my position in RM!!"
Outside the Gs House
- Hello?
- Khushi hain??
- Ji, she is not at home, she'll b here soon…
Payal doesn't get the time to explain further, Arnav has hanged up. He will wait here even it means spending the night in front of her house.
Arnav didn't have to wait till night coz after 2 hours… As soon as he sees her, he jumps out of the car, reaches her, grabs her hand n orders – "get in the car!!"
A horrified Buaji gapes but he cares a hoot.
- Kya Hua, Arnav Ji please…
A baffled Khushi keeps asking but he keeps looking in front of him, racing forward till he reaches a deserted place. He finally stops and gets her down ungraciously.
Khushi is clearly panicked now. Her heart starts banging in her chest… something is wrong… he is maha upset n out of himself which can only mean… Oh God!! No!! She shakes her head, it can't be… but his question freezes her…
- Who was your fianc Khushi?
She lifts up her face to look at him. His face, a metal mask not giving away any emotion, hers white n pained, his eyes like daggers, hers like pools of tears, his mouth- a dreadful smirk n hers dry n lips tembling…
She stammers: "Arnav Ji…I ...wanted to tell you…
He scorns: Oh really?
Khushi is shocked to hear Shyam's version from Arnav. She tries to defend herself but the mighty and mean machine is back and at his worst!!
She was already a gold digger n had no aukat but now she is also a blackmailer in search of easy ways to make money even it means trapping married man!!
- Enough!! U've said whatever u wanted. Arnav Singh Raizada has already judged and condemned. I guess the trial is over. Now let me go!!
She turns to move away but he grabs her wrist and slams her against his chest n hold her tightly till it hurts her …
- Where do you think you're going?You cheated on me!!
She wrestles to free herself and cries her heart out:
- I didn't Arnav Ji. I wanted to tell u. Ur jeeju is a cheat, he cheated my family, ur sister n I broke the relationship for our family's well being…
- But u hide it from me…
- It's because I care for u n ur family n I didn't want to hurt Anjali Ji n didn't want Akaash n Payal Jiji to have any problem…
- Oh so that's it!! U wanted to ensure ur Jiji's entry in RM, right?
Arnav was hurt, couldn't accept that he has lost his heart to someone who didn't deserve his love, Khushi has back stabbed him n she should n would be punished. He'll b intransigent. Shyam will pay too for cheating on his sister. They have dig out the beast in him; they should b ready to face the consequences.
His next words knock the wind right out of Khushi's sails.
- ASR is not a weak man!! N his sister is not a burden. Shyam the bloody parasite has no place in my sister's life and u , Khushi Kumari Gupta u'll regret what u have done. Nobody takes ASR for a ride n u'll learn ur lesson. Lets go home to fix everything.
The old ASR is back, cold and frightening. Khushi knows it would be of no use fighting with him. He is too way out of himself n will neither want to nor try to listen and understand her point of view.
"Jo hoga dekhaa jayega!! Devi Mayya please help me n my Laad Governor!!" Khushi mutters under her breath.
To be continued😳
