PART 7

She walked up to him, a vision clad in the most beautiful red saree, smiling an uncertain half smile, her confidence waning with every step she took, like always. Her hair open, her face faintly illuminated by the moon light, she looked ethereal. He cupped her face, caressing her soft cheeks feeling a warm blush on her face. It made him smile, her presence made him whole and the world seemed peaceful, a better place to live as they stood together gazing up at the stars, fingers entwined.

Arnav woke up as the first rays of the sun hit his face and broke his dream. A dream he wished was truer than his belief in life, sun or the moon. He covered his face with his palms, shoulders slumped, a gesture of defeat.
He had tried to fight his feelings so hard up-til know and today when he had fully accepted them, she was not here. A person who had transformed his life, filled it with colors and taught him to live, to believe in her beliefs, love and life was now a mere memory.

"Khushi" a soft plea escaped his lips, and he felt his heart beat harder in his chest. He heard his heart go Dhak Dhak and for the first time in months he felt like she was near. The beating of his dormant heart was enough to tell him that she was close by. This was a new day!

Shyam was more than happy today after all, he had managed to locate his Khushi. It was like she had walked in and given him her address, it had been that simple. He could hardly contain his happiness, today he would make her his. Nothing could stop him today for claiming what was rightfully his, Shyam thought as he walked out of RM recollecting how he came across Khushi last week.

As he idled outside the court house last week, he met with a detective. To kill time he had started discussing with him the detective's new case and his mysterious lady client. As he narrated her story, Shyam had placed the pieces together, to the final answer leading to his Khushi. Shyam faking an interest in the case had managed to fix an appointment for today with the detective, Arjun R. And his lady client. He sniggered inwardly at the thought of the detective not looking up the person Khushi wanted investigated. He smiled at the ease with which he had stirred the stupid detective to meet with his client again, only when he was present; he reasoned - to be on the same page. Shyam was too happy and relaxed to even consider a foul; the shabby looking detective was lame he thought to think of a plan to capture him. Still, he would make sure to not walk alone, he had his own security to think off.

La fidgeted nervously waiting for Khushi's go ahead signal. She had explained to Khushi their whole plan apart from the fact that Arnav would be present.
"Lets do it." Khushi said in a flat voice. She had been a zombie since the past two weeks, after Arjun R. and her introduction to be more precise. Her initial excitement had burnt down and her life had become mechanical and La thought it was mainly because Khushi did not care anymore. But La did not worry anymore, after today, her happiness would be someone else's responsibility and she would be back into the rightful hands of Arnav.

It still hurt, but she realized that the relation that she and ASR had shared was more of a convenience, a Deal rather than attraction. She was his arm candy and he inturn fulfilled her need for attention. She did not love him and that conviction would help her move forward.

Arjun R. was cross checking each and every setting, facet and crevice to make sure nothing could catch him by surprise. He had gone to the extent of a rehearsal, marking out the places where they were to stand and where Arnav would be present. He had put up cameras as security and evidence against Shyam. What was required the most was Arnav believing in what he saw and heard. His priority remained Khushi's safety, to make sure Shyam could not hurt her. Tonight would be a Day of Reckoning for Shyam.

Arjun made one final call before the whole drama would be unmasked,
"Is everything ready? Get him here quickly."

La drove up to the temple, the setting of the scene to drop Khushi before she escorted Arnav here. She gave a quick rerun to Khushi and tried to comfort Khushi, "I will be there, even if you cannot see me. Don't worry, I trust Arjun." Khushi just nodded in return, her face gave away nothing even if she was scared.

"ASR" La called as she entered his cabin. "I need you to come with me. It is very important." Arnav just nodded and got up to leave.
"La where are we going? What is so important?"
La knew when the storm was knocking at the door.

"Just listen to me very rationally for once and don't get angry. We don't have time to wait for your rational side to kick in again." Arnav just gave her a look.

"I know where Khushi is. She has been with me the whole time and you have to believe us today. What you see is the truth, believe in your heart for once ASR, believe in what you feel."

"What the -, you knew where she was and did not tell me? I have been roaming the streets like a lunatic searching for her."
La just rolled her eyes, "Seriously, I told you to not get angry."

"If I had told you then, you would not have believed me or her. She left for a reason, for the safety of your family, her family and more importantly for you." she added.
Arnav looked at her dumbstruck and confused. He shook his head trying to clear his head.

"She left because of her fianc, Shyam. Shyam, her fianc and Shyam jijaji are the same person and she stumbled upon that truth." La braked having reached their destination.

Arnav got out of the car, anger and dread boiling on the surface,
"What the hell La, do you know what you are saying?"
La held his hand in her hers and pulled him to the assigned spot, "I knew you would not believe us, She Knew, and for that we have decided to stage a confession from the accused." La said dramatically motioning with her hands to the foot of the mandir.

As Arnav looked on the scene, he heard it again, "Dhak Dhak" his heart thudding wildly in his chest and he saw his Khushi walking down the stairs of the mandir. A beauty in white, but her usual spark was missing. He could see a difference in her at once, she was thinner, paler and weak, a shadow of her former self. Her natural aura of cheerfulness was also missing and instinctively, he moved in her direction to help her down the stairs, the conversation forgotten.

He was pulled back by La, "Don't ASR! It had been very difficult for her, she does not know you are here. Let it be that way till the end of the story" La pleaded with her eyes and he reluctantly complied.

Arnav's gaze shifted to a new entry on stage, his Jijaji followed by a shabby looking 6 foot guy and a stout, muscled person that strangely looked like a goon.
La dialed Khushi and informed her of them and asked her to keep the call on till the end. He saw Khushi nod and hide the phone by draping her dupatta on her hand and at the same time, La turned on the speaker and the record on her phone. The recording for a just in case phenomena.

ASR did not know what he was doing. He was standing in the shadows like a thief and staring at the girl he had dreamt of every day since the past two months. He was supposed to be the man of action and he was standing still and for once he was not sure. He did not know what to believe, the naive Khushi, a person he loved or the person who had guided him for so long, the reason his Di lived. For that very reason be held his ground, not questioning either ends of the drama, till one proved the other wrong.

"Khushiji..." his Jijaji's voice came through the phone. The way his Jijaji said his Khushi's name ignited a rage inside him. His voice caressed her name and his ulterior motives seemed to radiate from them.
Khushi thought she was ready for this, but as Shyam said her name, a fear overtook her and she felt like running away from there.
Arnav saw her take a step backwards from his Jijaji, a mixture of fear and disgust evident on her face, and his fists clenched in response. While, La gripped the phone harder and prayed to every god Khushi believed in to give Khushi the strength and make this plan work.

Adrenaline rushed through Shyam's veins as he saw her again, the detective had chosen the best spot, he thought, after this drama was over, he would get married to her, tonight in this very temple. In a hurry to get this drama over with, he moved towards Khushi and raised his hand to caress her face, "Khushiji, I love you, it would have saved me all the trouble if you would have not run away. Even DM wants us to be together, otherwise you would not have been standing here with me."

Khushi took a step back, loathing evident on her face, disgust bot just for the man standing in front of her but also directed at herself.

His Jijaji's first words had broken down his home and his Di's life and rage flooded his veins like blood and he saw Khushi stumble, as she took another step back and hit the base of the steps. Instinctively, his hand raised to protect her, to break the fall but La held him back again.
