ARSHI SS:An end and a begnning (Part 4 on pg 12) - Page 4

Arnav woke up earlier than usual because he had lots of things to do. His gaze shifted to the figure sleeping beside him in unusual position. He chucked to himself seeing the Take wan do pose in which Kushi was sleeping.

He kissed her forehead gently and went for jogging to clear his mind and think of what all should be done.

He left a note to Kushi that he's gone for walking and will be back soon.

Kushi woke up after sometime and searched for Arnav not seeing him beside her. Then her gaze fell on the note Arnav had written. She read the note and went to get ready for the morning puja.

After a few hours everyone got ready and settled at the dining table waiting for Arnav.

Arnav came down and wished everyone Morning and took his seat.

A: ok as I said before we've to discuss many things. Whatever has happened in the past has happened. We can't do anything about it now. Before I start I would like you all to confess if there is anything. Because today will be a new beginning for both the Raizadas and the Guptas and I don't want any unsolved issues between us that may create a problem in the future.

An: Chotte I have something to tell all of you. Rather apologize. After you threw Shyam out when you came back after the kidnapping I couldn't understand what was going on. My brain stopped working. It was all too fast. Kushiji, Payalji and N.K bhai kept on accusing Shyam and I dint know who was right and who was wrong. I was broken with all the revelations that took place but still I couldn't understand anything. I couldn't accept the fact that the husband I loved and trusted blindly was a cheat. So I was confused and my pregnancy was also taking a toll on me. I was totally broken for a few days but after that one day Shyam called me and said everything was a misunderstanding and he loved me and our Rajkumari dearly and asked me to meet him to explain things. I went cos whatever it is I've been with him for 5 years and couldn't accept that he's a bad person. After that he convinced me that it was all a misunderstanding and he was not at fault. I fell for his words. After that I started talking to him often and also met him outside and even here when all of you had gone out. Even during godhbarai I knew he was there. I went upstairs because he called me and that accident happened. Even after that he came to see me here unknown to everyone. He only planted the idea of emotionally blackmailing you ppl by not eating until he comes. It's me at fault and I apologize even though I know that an apology is not enough for my mistake

Everyone was stunned hearing Anjali talk. Arnav was mad at his di for doing things behind their back.

A: di I did everything for you. I sacrificed my happiness for you. Kushi had to suffer so much because of my love for you. I can't believe that you'd do something like that behind my back. How could you do this di? It's ok I understand you couldn't believe what they said. But what about me? How could you not trust my decision? You very well know that you're my world and I wouldn't do anything that would hurt you. Still you were seeing him behind my back. I just don't know what to say.

Before he could say anything more Kushi intervened.

K: it's ok Arnavji we should understand her position too. It's difficult to believe that the one you loved and trusted for so long is a cheat. And di you have already suffered so much because of that. Its good that you told us so that you'll be free of guilt. Maybe even I would've done the same thing if I had been in your position. Maybe his love was false but I know yours was true. Don't worry everything will be fine now.

Everyone was stunned listening to her. How could this girl speak like this even after going through so much? Arnav was once again in awe seeing her. Anjali had tears in her eyes.

An: I don't know how to thank you Kushiji. Even after going through so much because of me I don't know how you're able to be normal with me. Not only chotte even we all are lucky to have you in our lives. You're the best thing that has happened to us. I promise you both that I'll never doubt your intentions ever again. I've got the punishment for my mistake and I will not dare to repeat it again. I once again apologize for my mistake.

A: it's ok di. Yes I'm hurt but its ok I understand why you did and anyways we all have learnt from our mistakes and should make sure that we don't repeat it. I asked you ppl only to get over the past fully and not to accuse.

An: thank you chotte yes I promise to never do anything without letting you know from now. I will never question your intentions and follow what you say.

A: ok di that's good. Remember one thing whatever happens we all are there for you always.
