SS: You, me and rabba ve (Pt17,Pg81,30/11)

Part 10

Khushi hugged her knees to her chest, shivering from the cold breeze. She sipped her hot tea and smiled, looking at the stars. Tomorrow she will be married and to her Laad Governor. Who would have thought! She giggled. She closed her eyes and remembered him, her love!

There was a hand on her shoulder. Khushi opened her eyes wide, a smile on her face and turned around suddenly. The cup fell from her hand. "You?" She jumped up from the bench. Shyam had a smile on his face, a smile filled with love.

"You looked so beautiful today, Khushiji." He traced his fingers down her arm. She stepped away, a disgusted look on her face. He grabbed her arms and pulled her close. "Don't look at me that way, Khushiji. How can you look at Arnav with love and look at me this way? How can you ignore me this way, Khushiji? What does Arnav have that I don't? He can never give you what I can. He will never love you as much as I do." Khushi opened her eyes wide. Shyam threw his arms around her and said softly. "Yes, Khushiji. I love you. I never loved Rani Sahiba. I don't consider her my wife. "

Khushi pushed him away and screamed. "If your marriage means nothing to you, then why don't you break it off? Why don't you leave her?" Shyam took her hands in his and said softly, "Yes, Khushiji. I will. I will leave Rani Sahiba for you." He took her face in his hands. "I.. I will do anything for you. But please, please give me time. Don't marry Arnav tomorrow. Please Khushiji, for my sake, for the sake of our love."

Khushi had a disgusted look on her face as she yanked her hands out of his. She started to say something when she heard Buaji's voice. She looked towards the house, scared. She didn't want Buaji to see Shyam; Buaji and Garima were so happy and thrilled about the wedding, now if they saw him, they would be upset. She turned back to look at Shyam, but he was gone.

Khushi slumped down onto the bench, her head in her hands. Yes, Khushiji. I love you. I never loved Rani Sahiba. Shyam's voice echoed in her head. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up from her hands, her face fuming with anger. She turned around to look over her shoulder and screamed, "How dare you.." Her face softened; a relieved smile appeared on her face. She threw her arms around Arnav's waist and burst into tears, her head pressed against his abdomen. "I am so glad to see you. I am so happy you are here." Her voice was just a whimper.

Arnav touched her shoulders as he sat down next to her. He touched her chin and lifted her face up. He kissed her tears away and smiled. "Khushi, you missed me so much?" Khushi shook her head and then froze, her eyes open wide. Should I tell him about Shyamji? "Khushi", her thoughts were interrupted as Arnav spoke. "Is something bothering you? You know you can tell me anything. Anything." Khushi raised her eyebrows. Did he hear us? Did he see Shyamji here?

"Titliya.. it's late. Come inside and go sleep." Khushi's thoughts were interrupted this time by Buaji.

Khushi looked at Arnav and smiled. "I need to go." Her smile disappeared. "Did you want to tell me something? Why did you come here?"

Arnav touched her cheek, moved closer and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "I missed you. I wanted to see you. Anyways it's just one more day, sweetheart. Just one more day that we have to be apart."

Khushi smiled and said, "Just one more day." She giggled, placed a quick kiss on his lips and ran into the house. Arnav smiled as he watched her run into the house.

His smile disappeared. Rage washed over his face.

Precap: Haldi

Spoiler: My Arnav is not a pathetic excuse of a man like the one on the show!
