How much pain could a heart bear?How much one have to suffer?But she couldn't complain.She didn't had the right to complain.Her destiny was allready written.Her own devi Maiyya wanted to put her through this turmoil then who was she to complain?She never thought in her dreams that her fate would put her through this pain ever again after her parents death.But destiny had already planned this for her.The fateful day when she met or rather collided with Arnav Singh Raizada had to come.Khushi's life turned upside down.Khushi Kumari Gupta turned into Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada for next six months or for the lifetime?Who knew?
*Flashbacks*
"You mean nothing to me.''
"Kabhi ye mat sochna,ki ek amir aadmi tumhari payal ko seene se laga ke baitha tha.''
"I hate you.''
"I want to see you suffer.''
"Because you,don't have a character.''
*End of flashbacks*
All the painful memories before & after her marriage flashed infront of her vision.When heart couldn't take the pain she cluched onto it & let her tears make their way down the cheeks.She cried & cried but pain doesn't eased even a bit.She felt her head spinning.It was almost 4 in the noon.'Everybody must have gathered at lounge for tea.'She thought composing herself.She got fresh & came downstairs in the lounge area.Everybody were there.OP was serving them tea & snacks.Khushi sat on a chair.OP gave her tea & left for the kitchen.Payal noticed Khushi's puffy eyes & asked her with cocked eyebrows what was the matter.She nodded her head negativly & smiled nervously.Because she couldn't afford Payal knowing anything.Things were finally smoothning for her sister.She didn't wanted to stir the calm water anytime.Anjali & Naniji were discussing something very excitedly.Khushi busied herself in in her tea & Samosa.Suddenlt Anjali clapped her hands to catch everyone's attention.
"Everybody,attention please.I have some announcement to do.There ...is...going to be a wedding in our house.''She observed confused expressions on everyone's face & continued further.''I know what you all are thinking.It's our Shalini Masi's,Mumma's best friend's daughter's wedding.Actually they live in London & don't have a house here.The groom also lives there & they have a huge mansion here.Shalini Masi was planning to stay in some hotel but when Nani knew about it she insisted them to live here.Aur phir ladki ki shaadi ghar se ho toh jyada achha hai.Hai na?So they agreed & will stay in our house till wedding.The wedding is on next sunday.Isn't it great?''Anjali informed everyone chirpily.
"Hello hi bye bye Anjali Bitiya.What an good newswa.Ee aapne bahute achha kiya Saasuma.Salini Jiji ko bhi achha lagega.Vaisan bhi eehan unka aapan kauno naahi hai.Bahute majja aayi saadi ma.''Manorama literally hopped on her sit & clapped excitedly.
"Haan Dadiji.Shadi ke mahoul se ghar ki rounak aur badh jayegi.We should start with cleaning rooms & guestrooms.''Payal said excitedly.
"Haan Naniji.Bada maja aayega.Let's start the preparations.''Khushi came back to her bubbly mode.
"So it's done.Let's devide the tasks for the preparations.Anjali Bitiya,you take charges of groccery department.Samano ki list banaiye.Hafte bhar ki khane pine ki chizen aur baki ke zaroorat ka saman mangwa lijiye.''
"Yes boss.'' Anjali giggled.
"Khusi Bitiya,Payal Bitiya aap dono Hari Prakash,Om Prakash aur Jai Prakash se kehke saare kamre saaf karwa lijiye.''Nani adressed to Khushi & Payal.
"Ji Dadiji.''Payal nodded her head in agreement.''Chal Khushi.''
"Manorama,you come with me.We will discuss everything in my room.''Nani ordered Manorama.
"Suar Saasuma.Let'jj go bhent gone.''Manorama's excitement was on it's peak.She had already started planning for her jewellery & Saree for wedding.
Nani told Ram Prakash to prepare dinner as everybody would be busy with their given tasks.
After a while Anjali was done with her list & was on phone ordering required things.Nani & Mamiji's discussion was still going on.Khushi & Payal were cleaning rooms on 3rd floor with HP,OP &JP.Their work was half done till 8pm.Still there was work to do.Aakash & Mamaji came back by then.Nani & Mamiji told them about wedding.Arnav was still in office.
Khushi,Payal,HP,OP & JP took the dinner break.Everybody was excited with the wedding & busy discussing with each other.After dinner Nani,Mami & Anjali retired to their respective rooms to rest.Khushi & Payal decided to resume their cleaning task because there was very less time left for Shalini Masi & her family's arrival.Now they got extra 2 members to help them.Aakash & Mamaji.
Arnav was late tonight.He entered RM & clock stuck 10.He was surprised to see Khushi,Payal,Aakash & Mamaji in lounge area seeping teas & coffees.He went straight to them after handing over laptop bag to HP.His eyes met with Khushi's but she ignored him like he wasn't there.
"What's going on?''He asked confused.
"Bhai!You got late today?''
"I was working on our new project.What are you guys doing here at this hour?''
Aakash told him about wedding & all the discussion transpired between family members.Arnav went to the room & came back aftergetting fresh.Khushi served him his dinner.The break was over & everybody was ready to went back to the remaining work.Aakash came to Arnav who had had his dinner & was ready to go upstairs.
"Bhai,can you please help Khushiji with cleaning the guestroom?You know,then we will be done early with your help.''Aakash looked nervously at Payal & then at Arnav.Arnav understood his Brother's motive.
"Ok!!You go.I'll help Khushi.''He assured him.
Khushi looked at Arnav & thought this is not going to be good.
They started with the cleaning.Arnav was on stool dusting & Khushi was spreading bed cover.They were not talking.Khushi ignored him completely.Suddenly stool stumbled.Arnav tried balacing but failed.He fell on bed taking Khushi with him.Her mouth formed an perfect 'O'.He could feel her soft body pressed under his hard one.She became conscious of the close proximity.She squirmed & tried to free herself.More she moved,more he felt something stirring inside him.He started loosing senses.It was taking all the will in world for him to not do anything which he will regret later.But it was getting difficult for him.His grip on her tightened.He grabbed her hands by which she was trying to push him to get off her & pinned them over her head.Her feminine aroma with jasmine scent was driving him to the insanly extent.She was innocent but knew very well,what effect she was having on him.She knew if she won't stop moving things won't be in her control.His gaze diverted from her eyes to her lips.He bent some more to her.His hatred filled words rang in her ears & she jerked back to reality.
"Ar..nav..ji''
"Hmmm...''
"Ye aap kya kar rahe hain?Get up.There is so much work left.''
Arnav's trance broke & he got up from the bed.He extended his hand to help Khushi.But she refused & got up herself.He got frustrated with that.After half an hour they completed their task & came to bedroom.Khushi went to the bathroom to change into her night dress.The night was restless & sleepless for Arnav.He hated her for this too.
