Well, from the looks of the past 2 episodes.. it is pretty obvious how the story is going to proceed regarding the Khushi-Shyam and Anjali angle, unless ofcourse the cvs surprise us. So here's an OS, which you can say is a mixture of what I think will happen and what I hope will happen. I've written this really quickly.. so please ignore all errors. Do comment and like guys, the mean a lot to me! I will look forward to the feedback.
Khushi had managed to rescue Arnav from the kidnappers yesterday. To say that Shyam had been angry when he realised that Khushi had tricked him would be an understatement. He was blinded in a fury and rage of an intensity that was previously unknown to him. He smirked as an idea came into his scheming mind and went off to Rani Sahiba, putting on his most innocent face.
--------------------xx-----------------
He awoke to the sound of a livid Di and a crying, pleading Khushi. He threw the blanket aside, worried, wanting to know what was troubling his wife and wanting even more to take away her tears and fill her world in happiness, just like she had to his.
"Get out of my house. Get out before I drag you out myself", screamt an Anjali Jha looking and sounding every bit of Arnav Singh Raizada's sister.
"Listen to me..please .. just once..I can-" Khushi begged.
"Shutup. I can't believe I thought of you as a sister when all you wanted to do was destroy my family, you wh**e. Chote was always right about you. Low class girls like you are only after money." She held her roughly by her arm as she dragged her across the hall towards the door. "I never want to see you or hear your voice again."
The sight he saw shook him to the core. Di.. why was Di dragging Khushi and telling her to leave the house? What was going on? He thought as he limped his way down the stairs. Khushi...his Khushi had tears streaming down her face, her hands folded as she begged Di to listen to her but she refused.
"Enough", bellowed a furious Arnav, still on his descend, "what the f**k is going on here Di? Why are you telling my wife to leave the house? Why is she crying like this?"
"Chote.. chote i'm sorry you had to hear all this, but it's the truth. She doesn't love you, she never did. I'm sorry chote that you have to go through this." She felt for her brother, truly did. He had lost too much in his life already. She cursed life for being so cruel on him but since he had heard her, she thought best to tell him the truth. "Chote, she...she was always after your money. That bitch even tried to seduce him, my husband. Do you know that they both made excuses to go out and went somewhere together? I even caught her feeding him kheer once. In my room that too. The audacity of this girl."
During this time, not once did he look at his sister. His eyes were focused on his wife, gauging her reactions as she stared right back at him. Being rescued just yesterday, they had not had the chance to talk about how Khushi saved him, and so he did not know about Khushi and Shyam. Anjali's words hardly registered her mind as she looked into her husband's eyes, seeking his trust in them. At that moment she did not care if Anjali hated her, thought so lowly of her .. she just needed Arnavji's trust. Arnav felt a lump in his throat. He wouldn't be able to take it again. He needed her. He needed her with a passion that scared and excited him at the same time. She wasn't pretending with him all this while was she?
No, his heart screamt. She loves you. She cares about you. Why else would she endanger her life to save you? Why would she even try to rescue you?
Why was she with him? Why did she feed him kheer even though she claims to hate him? His mind retaliated. He was at a crossroad again, Khushi or Di? His heart or his mind?
His confused eyes looked for answers in hers, but instead found questions. Do you.. do you trust me? Do you still think that i don't love you? That I'm after your money? That I tried to steal Di's husband? Her eyes asked his.
I trust you, his eyes replied.
He saw her face relax as she shut her eyes momentarily in relief.
Thank you.
"No Di, I'm sorry. I've made the mistake of not trusting Khushi once and I refuse to do the same again. I trust my wife Di. I don't know why she did that, but I'm sure there was a reason behind it."
"Chote.. I know this is hard for you to believe, but you need to accept the reality chote. Your wife has betrayed you, betrayed us all", she said shooting daggers at Khushi. "I hope you rot in hell you wh**e."
Both Khushi and Arnav shut their eyes, in pain this time as they heard Anjali speak of Khushi like this.
"Anj..a..li..ji", she stuttered before being interrupted by Arnav. "Fine Di, say that Khushi has indeed betrayed us", Khushi heard him say and she panicked, however relaxed as she heard him continue "but what about your husband Di? If he loved you why did he get seduced by Khushi? Why should my wife be the only one to be blamed? Think about it Di, but remember what I said. I trust my Khushi. She would never have done this without reason. I can't believe you thought so lowly of her and you're letting your husband go without anything. If you can trust him, I can and I will trust my wife. You mean a lot to me Di and you know that, but I'm not going to lose Khushi. I can't. You need to understand that Di."
Khushi stood rooted at her spot, looking admiringly at her husband who was standing upto her against his Di. She wasn't selfish but she was glad that he trusted her and not his sister. He walked up to her; cupping her face in his hand he wiped the tears with his thumb, shaking his head as he tried to tell her to stop crying. He held her hand in his and started making his way to their room but Anjali stopped them. Before either of them could realise what was going on, she slapped Khushi across her right cheek, again. "First my husband and now my brother too. Wahh. You must be very happy haina?"
Khushi opened her mouth to say something but Arnav, still under shock interrupted her again, "come on Khushi, let's go upstairs."
"Chote can't you see what she's trying to do? She wants-"
"Di, let us go before I say or do something I regret later. I don't care what you think of my wife but I trust her. I've told you this before. And nothing is going to make me change my mind", he said in a firm voice, trying to control his anger, as he led a devastated Khushi to their room, leaving behind a broken and angrier Anjali, promising herself to save her chote from the evil clutches of his wife while Shyam looked on in anger, wondering how and when the equation between Arnav and Khushi changed so much.
