Its the most words i've ever written for any of my FF's so im proud, Hope everyone likes it! :)
Arnav stood in shock. He didn't know what to believe. That night on the terrace, Shyam's confession. Wait, it was clicking into place now, Shyam's confession. He stood on his ground and wasn't thinking straight. Wait hold on, Shyam's confession. If there was ever a moment in his life, Arnav had never felt any stupider than how he felt right now.
"Khushi"
Khushi merely looked at Arnav, her questioning gaze was penetrating Arnav making him feel awkward, making him feel uneasy. What if it was a misunderstanding? Khushi couldn't believe what she said.Was it the answer? Love, was that what the 'dhak dhak'' and acidity meant? Why did she blurt out she loved him? Did she? She stared intently at him. She hated him but she loved him more. The pain, the laughs, the tears, she loved him?
"Khushi, Im going to ask you once. What is going on with you and jijaji?"
Khushi broke out of her trace, a thousand questions rushed into her mind, Shyamji! She got scared.
"Arnavji, Please, Please don't tell me you got married to me because you thought" she stared at him In shock. She was going to break down if this was what she thought it was. Arnav looked down ashamed, He nodded slowly and Khushi gasped in shock.
"You.. you thought i.. you thought I loved him!?"
"Well do you?" Arnav started to recite everything he has seen, the terrace, the conversation, Shyam's confession.
Khushi's shoulders slumped down to her sides, she was shocked. Beyond shocked, flabbergausted.
She immediately went to towards him and gave him a slap. Arnav closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
"How dare you!? This is why you married me? You thought there was something going on with me and Shyamji!? How could you Arnavji how could you!? How did such thoughts even enter your mind!" she gasped for air. Her life felt like it was shattering all over again. She looked back at him with teary eyes. "Its such a shame Arnav. You know me, no you knew me for 9 months and you could NEVER understand me!" tears fell down Khushi's face furiously as Arnav looked guiltily towards Khushi. She wiped her tears. Khushi's broken words made Arnav flinch as she coldly whispered, "Arnavji , if this was you, if you were in my position I would have trusted you, I wish you trusted me"
Khushi began to walk slowly towards the road. Arnav closed his eyes, he wanted to scream, he wanted to kill Shyam but he knew this time it was his own fault. He ruined Khushi's life. She did NOT deserve an angry laad governer like him.
"Khushi, how can you love me?" Arnav's broken voice made Khushi worried. She looked back and she saw a sight she never wanted to see ever again. Arnav was on the floor next to his SUV. Crying, broken just like her.
"Arnavji!"
She ran to him and picked him up, "Why!?" she questioned before helplessly engulfing him into a hug once again breaking down into his arms. "Save me Arnav, I can't do this anymore." And that was the moment of realization when Arnav realized how much Khushi loved him. She stopped saying the formal 'Arnavji' and now considered him her own. Her Arnav.

Dhak Dhak.
Dhak Dhak.
What was that noise? Whats going on in your brain missy!?
"Huh, Hum voh, voh huh!? Who are you!?" Anjali questioned the strange yet handsome,dreamy man standing at the doorstep with his hands on her waist protecting her like a guardian angel.
He chuckled looking at her, Slowly picking her up straight and leaving her.She got her hands out of his grip immediately irritated at his brown eyes looking down at her. As if trying to unravel her, As if trying to make out who she was.
"Excuse me, who are you!?" questioned Anjali becoming impatient. He was making her feel uncomfortable.
"Hi there, Im.."
"Hello hi bye bye, Anjali bitya who is this tall,handsome hello bye hai hai!" Monarama ran as her eyes grew widely.
"Anjali bitya, who is this black suit wala, he so dreamyyy na!"
"Mami, this is what im asking him, he's not even replying!"
"Ehhh" Mami grunted.
"Erm hello, you never game me a chance to speak" smirked the unknown stranger.
Anjali stared at his in annoyance and mami raised her eyebrows.
"Im"
"Aman!, Damn it, I forgot to tell everyone you were going to stay around for a few weeks" Arnav retorted from the back with Khushi following.
"What? This is Amanji?"
"Umm no not Amanji, just Aman" Aman said coolly smirking at Anjali. She looked at him and he was looking at her up and down. Her mouth opened and she stared in disgust. Here was this handsome man checking her out and all she could do was 'dhak dhak' and gasp.
Anjali was about to walk away. "Chotte, next time tell us before you invite any guests over!"
Aman smirked. He liked this girl. She was different and she had something about her.
"This should be fun" 😉
Anjali walked upstairs with Arnav staring at her retreating back, he looked at Khushi who nodded and motioned Aman to a room downstairs.
Arnav went upstairs and knocked on his di's door.
She saw him and looked at him sadly. Arnav sat on the floor next to her and put his head in her lap. Anjali just sadly looked down at him not knowing what to do or say anymore.
"Who are you?"
Arnav looked up questioningly. Tears flew down from his eyes and he sobbed into her lap.
"Chotte, why? Who are you?This wasn;t like you chotte, you never used to do anything." Anjali sighed and looked up. Controlled herself and continues. "Chotte, such a fast marriage, all of a sudden and you never even thought of consulting me or nani!?"
" Di, I didn't plan for this. It was in such a rush! I didn't know di, I didn't"
Anjali initially confused by Arnav's words.
"Chotte, I never expected this from Khushiji either. How could she? She knows so much about tradition, respect that how could she take such a step!?" Anjali sighed and began patting Arnav's head soothingly.
"No di, it isn't Khushi's fault."
"What do you mean chotte?, Its both of your faults."
"No di, I forced her into this marriage"
O0O0O0
Khushi was walking around the hall angry. She had finally found out what Arnav had decided to marry her and decided to set this Shyamji straight. As if he was thinking exactly what she thought, Shyam glared as he entered RM.
"2 minutes, On the terrace." Khushi walked angrily up to the terrace and waited.
Shyam smirked. "Ahhh Khushiji, you miss me" Shyam smiled and ran upstairs missing a step and tripping before balancing himself and running up again.
"Khushiji, your really clever you know, You saved Arnav today. Why though? You and I love each other? Why did you save him!?"
Khushi had her back to him before turning around.
"Look Shyamji, Im warning you for the final time, this is the last time, I-DO-NOT-LOVE-YOU!, Do you understand, I do NOT love you, I love Arnavji, that's it, Arnavji is my life, my presnt and my future. I belong to him only. You. I hate you, You disgust me! How could you betray Anjaliji in such a manner!? Its absolutely disgusting."
Shyam stared at her with a blank face before a smile spread on his face. He got his hands and cupped Khushi's face slowly.
"Khushji, stop this drama now, I know you love me as much as you love me, We'll unite very soon."
*SLAP*
Khushi slapped him hard and Shyam touched his cheek shaking with anger.
"Don't touch me with your disgusting hands do you understand! Don't you DARE! Im Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada and don't you forget it. Today you were going to make me a widow and right now im warning you, You haven't seen me in the form of a wife, a true and dutiful wife who will do anything in her power to protect her husband. From today onwards, I will protect Arnavji. If you mess with him, You mess with me"
Khushi now puts her finger up at Shyam.
"If you even think of harming my Arnav, I will kill you..And that's a promise."
With that Khushi left an aggravated Shyam on the door.
"Khushiji, your slap never hurt as it was an excuse to touch me but your words. Your words have pierced my heart deeply and for that you will have to pay."
Whooosh now that was fun writing it!😆
Hope it was up to scratch for everyone! <333
