Chapter 50

For the next one hour Karan tried his best to catch a moment with Anjali and Anjali tried her best to stay away, much to Karan's surprise.

After an hour when Anjali had still not even spoken to him. Karan felt a blazing rage build up in him. Why the hell did this bother him? Why did he want her to smile at him.

He just was not that weak and putty in anyone's hands!

He would give her a piece of his mind if he met her. He was her guest. The least she could do is welcome him!

It was by coincidence that he finally bumped into Anjali. He went to one of the guest rooms to get away from the crowd after reassuring Arnav that he was not bored and he would stay for the dinner. He was sitting there quietly reflecting on Anjali's strange behaviour. It rankled that she gave him the cold shoulder. But why? Had he done something? Did his coldness put her off? Again he stopped himself from thinking about her,

Right at that moment Anjali came into the room loaded with gift packages and went towards a wooden cupboard. She did not notice Karan sitting at the far end of the room and headed straight for the cupboard.

Anjali had not seen Karan for the past 15 minutes. She had anxiously followed him with her eyes all through the time he was there. But she had consciously and

successfully avoided him. She felt bad doing it. This was not like her. But Karan had hurt her many times with his blow hot and blow cold behaviour.

"Avoiding me are you?" came a voice from behind making Anjali jerk and drop the gifts she had been holding in her hands. She turned around surprised and nearly tripped and collided into the broad chest of a man-Karan.

For a few momenrs Anjali was lost...She felt so warm and protected and safe and felt a ton of feelings she had almost fogotten...for a moment she just forgot to be herself.

Karan was equally surprised and affected as he stood still. Protectiveness, tenderness, warmth and a rush of other feelings he had almost forgotten.

"Sorry," Anjali said and collected her thoughts and moved away.

"I asked you why you are running away from me," Karan asked her again ignoring her apology and brushing aside his own moment of weakenss.
"I am not. I was just busy," Anjali lied, avoiding his eyes.

"Oh really? Did not seem like it. You had time for the whole world," Karn persisted.

"I ...ummm...I thought since you were with Arnav you re fine," Anjali said.

"It is common courtesy to say hello to your guest, or have you forgotten what it is to be courteous?" Karan continued not letting Anjali get away with her excuses.

Anjali was really angry now. She never knew she could get angry. This was almost the first time in her entire 33 years of existense. "I don't know what is courtesy? No It is you. Always you. If you talk, you are cryptic. If you are on the phone, you are abrupt If I say something you don't reply. Why are you so egoistic? Who do you

think you are?" Anjali blazed at him.

Karan was quiet for a while and then he said," I am sorry Anjali. But I don't know how to behave with women. My ex-wife said the same thing." With that he was gone...leaving Anjali feeling guilty as hell...

Arnav could not get what the 2 women had said about Khushi out of his mind.

He had never cared for society untll now.

He wanted his wife, the mother of his child and the lovely person called Khushi respected by others.

The society mattered to him because Khushi mattered to him.
The society's opinion of Khushi mattered to him because he wanted them to know how innocent and wonderful Khushi was.
The society mattered to him because it mattered to Khushi.

Suddenly he made a decision...He did something he never dreamed of doing...

"Ladies and gentlemen, May I have your kind attention," Arnav called to the people through the mike.

Everyone turned around surprised. Every person in the room knew that Arnav Singh Raizada avoided the public like the plague. Why was he addressing them?. Khushi turned her stuned gaze at him too.

"Khushi, can you come here?" he asked.

Slowly, as if in a dream Khushi walked towards him. Arnav took her hands when she came close to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen...

I want to thank each one of you for coming here to bless my wife and our uborn child.

I wish I had got yur blessings the day I married the wonderful girl whom you have come to bless today.

You see, for me marriage is not a big thing. I did not want a ceremony.

I did not even want marriage and that's why I broke off my engagement

But...
When I met Khushi life changed.
When I met Khushi I wanted all the rights of a husband.
When I met Khushi I did not want her out of my sight even for a day.
When I met Khushi I wanted children.
When I met Khushi I started having dreams of love and happiness...

In my haste to make her my own, I just went ahead and married her without your blessings. Though she wanted a proper marriage I did not.

Today I realized how much your blessings and love mean to us. Forgive us for not inviting you to our wedding and bless us today like you would have on our wedding day..."

Arnav concluded on an emotional note.

Khushi looked at him in surprise. Arnav had apologized for their runaway wedding? To the whole world? He who could not utter one 'sorry' to one person easily, had said it efforlessly to the whole world?

Her eyes moistened with her love and utter respect for this man. She knew he had done this because of his regret for not giving her the dream wedding...in front of the society.

As she fought her tears, she heard a loud hooting from NK, followed by clapping from the crowd.

One by one people came up to them and blessed them and wished them lifelong happinesss...

Arnav's heart finally found peace as he saw Khushi blessed by the two women who had been gossiping about her,

He found peace standing with her as her husband for the whole world to bless them as a couple.

He found peace seeing his beautiful wife look at him with love and gratitude, for something she rightfully deserved...

He realized that today Arnav Singh Raizada had willingly sought the world he had decided to boycott when he was 16...and it was for the love of his life-Khushi

Lavanya felt a teardrop prick her eyes.

Arnav's confession of why he married Khushi and about his broken engagement left her heartbroken again. She had always known he did not want to marry her. She had always known he loved Khushi. She was happy for them. Nevertheless, it hurt her. She felt unworthy of love and marriage. She felt inferior in some way.

All the demons she had sought to escape while leaving India, came back to hurt her.

She walked away from the room needing to escape being noticed when she heard NK's voice' La. What happened?"

"Nothing' Lavanaya said and tried to brush past him. She felt a strong grip encircle her hand and she was twirled around.

"What's wrong Lavanya? I may not be your friend yet. But just tell me as another human being what is upsetting you," NK said looking at her intently.

Surprised to see this side of NK, Lavanya let the teardrops fall as she walked away from the room followed by NK.

"Are you fine. What made you cry. Or rather who?' NK asked again trying to understand what happened. Then he connected the dots. Lavanya was ASR's ex girlfriend. Now he realized what had hurt her. "It is ASR and Khushi right? You are hurt your ex boyfriend is happy with someone else? Is that it?" NK asked and from Lavanya's expression he knew he had hit bull's eye.

'Do you still love ASR?' NK asked.

'No. I don't. I probably never did. I was too scared of him. But still I feel rejected somehow, though I know Khushi is perfect for him,' La confessed.

'Rejected? But why? No La. Sometimes the first person you choose to be with or the first person you fall for may not be the right prson for you. It is just that they came first into your life and you thought you loved them...And then when you get second chance, you change your mind too. Wait for the second chance,' NK said giving La's hand a squeeze.

She gave him a surprised look almost as if she was seeing him for the first time...realizing that this guy was more than what meets the eye, a real friend in need and a good person who was also very sensible...She felt safe and warm holding his hand.

Arnav and Khushi had found a quiet corner to eat the dinner, while the guests were still having theirs.

'Khushi eat the Palak Paneer. It has lots of protien. Also eat the butter naan and pulao. Stay away from the Kofta. It is too greasy. You can have a little bit of the manchurian but not beyond what I have put in your plate. It is too spicy...'Arnav rattled off his instructions. Khushi did not hear half of what he said as she was lost looking at him.

How could she stay angry with a man like ASR for long? Just how? She had never meant to forgive him for what he had said about her supposed father. But her heart wouldn't permit it. She just couldn't be around him and not love him...loving him was like breathing for her...and at moments like this, she could just forget the whole world and everything in the past, present or future...

'Khushi are you even listening? Don't eat the Kofta and ...' Arnav started again.

"Stop! I am pregnant and am not a victim of a terminal disease. So stop fussing Arnav Singh Raizada and eat your own dinner,' she said and fed him a spoonful.

'But..' before he could utter the next word Khushi fed him another spoonful and laughed.

'This is the best way to shut you up,' she smiled and continued to feed him as she ate her food.

'Why did you apologize to the whole world? You did not have to do it. I did not like the way you had to embarass yourself,' Khushi confessed.

'it was for you Khushi. I can embarass mysefl a thousand times more if I could make sure the society treats you as you deserve and gives you all the respect which you should get,' Aranv said.

'And I can forego a thousand people's opinion to preserve your dignity too. Next time, I do not want you to bow to people. My Arnav cannot bow down to anyone for anything,' she said emotionally.

'Your Arnav has no self respect when it comes to you Khushi' he replied...

Awww! What a sweet update!

Loved the part with the apology and the reason for it and then the last part with Khushi...very sweet! :)

Also Karan and Anjali story seems to be starting! YAY! :)

thanks for commenting before the PM. Appreciated😊

Congrats for the chapter 50 👏 Half century

wow...three couples in d making (well, one is already still..)

A touching apology by ASR...nice...very refreshing update..

This was an excellent update Rima

Awww that was just so sweet. The last two lines are my favourite.
Each of the three couples are at different points in there relationships. NK and lavanya are discovering the emotional side of each other whereas anjali and karan has reached the stage of possesiveness and what to say abt ArHi, they are simply the best

"Your Arnav has no self respect when it comes to you Khushi' he replied..."

Just the way it should be. Love this update. They are both coming out of their hurt ...
