Arnav's beautiful and rare smile faded...
He couldn't believe what he was seeing...
He felt his world crash...
He felt his stomach clench at the sight on the terrace...
He remained quiet...
Shocked...
Confused...
Khushi and Shyam were hugging...
What was happening?
Khushi pushed Shyam away.
Shyam looked at Khushi with lust-filled eyes and said, "Khushiji, I love you and only you. I don't consider Rani Sahiba as my wife. And this marriage doesn't mean anything to me!"
Arnav looked at Shyam in horror and thought how could that be?
Shyam had always said he loved Anjali a lot and that she was the most important part of his life...
Then...
Then how could he have betrayed her?
Khushi looked at Shyam in anger, "It doesn't mean anything to you? Then why don't you break this marriage? Leave Anjaliji!"
Arnav's heart broke at Khushi's words...
He looked in her direction, with pain clearly visible in his eyes...
Khushi had betrayed him too?
He suddenly felt his vision blur...
His head was aching...
He thought, "No... No... Khushi can't do this... No..."
Tears filled his eyes but failed to come out...
He closed his eyes and hoped that it would only be a nightmare when he would open them again...
But it wasn't...
He walked a step back faultily and was about to turn when...
"Anjaliji deserves someone much better! She loves you so much and you are betraying her! You are disgusting Shyamji..." Khushi shouted.
Arnav felt strong relief travelling through his veins. He profoundly inhaled air and closed his eyes... thanking God somewhere, deep inside him. He re-opened his eyes to look at Khushi.
"You love me right? Then listen! I hate you and will never love you! I'd rather die than loving someone like you! And my heart already belongs to someone else..." Khushi said breathlessly. As she said the last words, her expression softened...
Shyam twitched his nose and was enraged, "Who is he?"
Arnav's heart was pounding... He looked at the floor and closed his eyes, waiting for her answer...
Khushi looked down and closed her eyes saying the name which was engraved in her heart, "Arnavji..."
A light breeze blew on the two lovers, as the word escaped her mouth...
Arnav looked up, pleasantly surprised as his heart jumped in happiness! He smiled slightly as he looked at Khushi.
Khushi loved him too' She felt the same feeling as he did' And he loved the way she said his name... It was so lovingly said...
Shyam looked at Khushi angrily and said, "Saale Saab? He doesn't believe in love! He doesn't love anyone apart from his irritating family! Don't expect him to love you! And what were you thinking? That he had called you on the terrace to confess his love to you? Rubbish! He doesn't love you Khushiji! He hates low-class people like you! He doesn't like gold-diggers! Just forget him! You will regret rejecting me Khushiji!"
Arnav clenched his fists and thought how low Shyam could stoop to make Khushi his. He felt anger fill his chest and felt like killing the bas***d!
Shyam walked away.
Arnav left as well.
Khushi's eyes were filled with tears... She thought about Shyam's words, closed her eyes and thought, "Maybe Shyamji was right... Maybe Arnavji doesn't feel anything for me... And I ended up falling in love with him... But I won't ever tell him what I feel for him..."
She left the terrace to continue with the wedding preparations of Akash and Payal.
While helping Anjali and Nani, she couldn't help but look for Arnav. Her eyes were wandering over the whole house just to catch a glimpse of him but she couldn't see him...
Nani, who noticed Khushi's mind was elsewhere asked, "What are you... Whom are you looking for Khushi bitiya?"
No answer.
Nani frowned confusedly and asked again, "Khushi bitiya?"
Khushi absent-mindedly said, "Arnavji..."
Nani then looked at the direction Khushi was looking in and saw her handsome grandson walking down the stairs. Nani smiled mischievously and silently went away.
Khushi walked in Arnav's direction with a smile.
Arnav walked towards her...
And walked pass her without even looking at her.
She was brought out of her dream world and recalled Shyam's words...
Tears filled her beautiful honey-coloured eyes and she thought, "Control your feelings Khushi... Don't be distracted by him... He can never be yours..."
The rest of the evening, whenever she encountered him, he ignored her and she felt hurt.
The next day, at the time of the wedding, he wasn't to be seen anywhere in the house.
Akash and Payal were waiting for Arnav to come because Akash wouldn't marry without his Bhai. Anjali came back from outside and said, "Chottey isn't outside nor in the office! Where is he? NK bhai did you check the whole house?"
"Yes Di. Nannav is nowhere to be seen. Even I have called him more than 10 times but he isn't picking up the damn phone!"
Shyam smirked and thought, "That's good. I hope he never comes. Then I can have Khushiji for me only!"
Khushi felt more and more restless! She had not seen him for a whole day! And she felt alone despite being amidst many people. She wanted him! And only him! What if something had happened to him? She wouldn't be able to bear it...Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Some minutes passed and...
That was it!
She couldn't bear not seeing him for so much time!
She wiped her tears and disappeared without anyone noticing.
She phoned him for uncountable number of times but he was unreachable! She looked for him again everywhere in the house for multiple times and ended up breaking down at the poolside... She fell on her knees, hid her face in her hands and cried her heart out. She whispered, "Please Arnavji... Please come back... I need you..."
She felt incomplete without him...
Suddenly, she felt a familiar hand on her shoulder. She stopped crying, looked up and saw him...
Arnav Singh Raizada.
He was smiling. With tears in his eyes...
Her expression changed from sadness to relief. She immediately stood up and looked in his eyes...
She let out a heart wrenching cry and ran to him...
She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him as tightly as she could.
He crushed her body to his and inhaled in her sweet scent...
He buried his face in her hair and she stroked his hair gently while crying in joy.
Time stood still...
There were only them...
Two lovers madly in love...
Soulmates...
He kissed her neck and she moaned softly, enjoying the blissful feeling as she held the back of his neck.
They rested their foreheads against each other, eyes closed, still crying and breathed deeply...
She murmured, "Arnavji... Don't ever do this again! I can't breathe without you..."
She gently stroked her cheek with his, closed her eyes and inhaled in his musky scent, playing with his hair...
Arnav whispered, "Why does it matter if I'm not here... with you?"
Khushi smiled in between her tears, remembering their 'Kya faraq padta hai?'s and said, "It does matter because... I love you Arnavji... I love you very much..."
Arnav smiled in delight and cupped her face.
He said in a husky voice, "I love you too Khushi... I love you a lot and want to spend my whole life with you..."
Her eyes opened and she smiled in ecstasy!
He loved her too...
Her happiness knew no bounds...
He moved closer to her...
She closed her eyes and held his wrists...
Her lips were quivering...
He closed his eyes and softly kissed her lips...
She was plunged into heaven...
She kissed him back and felt a mix of emotions
inside her...
Love, desire, peace, relief and happiness...
It was their first kiss and they felt wonderful...
Arnav hugged her protectively and said, "You're mine Khushi... Only mine... And I won't ever let anyone come between us. I promise..."
There you are! Hope you liked it 😆 You can throw rotten tomatoes if it was horrible but no chappals please
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
