Its been a week since she has had that short conversation with Arnav and she was still restless and many of her questions are still unanswered. Babuji has returned to the home after 2 days of her arrival and is fully on the road of recovery. Her welcome to the Raizada house had been quite pleasant . Everyone from servants to those distant relatives even mamiji who never left a chance of commenting on her orphanhood seemed like they were waiting for her to come back from years . Mamiji had embraced her taking her by surprise as soon as she crossed the gate stating how sorry she is and how glad everyone is to get her back. She has heard them commenting that may be the father and son will not be miserable anymore now that she has come back and the happiness of this household which has been snatched by lavanya will return. All this has been so confusing and she couldn't come to a conclusion even after trying hard to match the dots.

She wanted to leave but babuji and maaji has made her promise on their life that she won't leave before they will allow her to. Little did she know that they plan to never let her go and are hoping that things will become better between Arnav and her. Even she was waiting to talk to him. But it seems like he is super busy. It make her hugely pissed that now his priorities have changed to such an extend that even seeing her after five years and literally threatening her to stay till he talks god knows what with her, he didn't seem to manage to get time out to share even a decent conversation with her forget about a full fledged discussion. Not that she is dying to talk to him. She chided herself again to shush her longing heart. He is such a dork and ... hmph. She can't even curse him properly. Even after all these, she can't change what she feel for him. What is in this love that she can't even see past it. Its not like she didn't try. After joining her job many of her colleagues and even some friends met at the parties have shown interest in her. She always denied. And once her friend ... Her only friend Pia whom she share her apartment with and is more than a sister to her got so pissed with her that she threatened her to move out if she won't agree to go on a date with her best friend Abhay. Khushi also knew Abhay and his interest in her quite well and also knew that he is a decent man. So she agreed and went on some dates with him.. for some coffees... tried to know him but she hated every minute of it. Although she enjoyed his company ..he was a thorough gentleman and kept distance knowing she is a very conservative girl but it was the future goal of their meetings that made he cringe knowing that she is not doing justice with Abhay and herself. But she still tried and given into Pia's threats and Pia was also quite persuasive becoz she knew her past and want best for her and there she was also his best friend and could see his genuine feelings so she pushed. But the day Abhay kissed her cheek and said I love you in the spur of moment after he dropped her from their date , she cried the whole night. It was nothing scandalous ,in fact can be taken as a friendly peck but she remembered how Arnav couldn't even tolerate her talking to a boy nicely and what she was doing. She felt so empty. That peck from Abhay seemed to bring the bitter reality crashing right in front of her eyes that Arnav has wasted her for any other man without even touching her properly she thought snidely. It seemed like her body repulsed the touch of any other man. Years ago she would have thought that its because her love is too strong but now she knew better. If it was strong enough Arnavji wouldn't have seek solace in the someone else's arms. She cleared the tears that has accidently slipped from her eyes remembering all these things. She remembered how next day she after a lot of apologising and manouvering was able to convince Pia and Abhay that she can never love anyone else. After that day she has saved herself from the blind dates Pia used to arrange for her. But the most important fact she got to know was that Pia was in love with Abhay from her college days but she kept it as her personal secret as she knew Abhay doesn't feel anything for her except pure friendship. Although she was heartbroken when he told her that he was in love with Khushi but being a true friend she tried her best to help him at least get his love. But well fate has planned something else. The day khushi came to know about this she quickly told everything to Abhay and then made him promise that he would give this relation a chance. Abhay being a sweetheart confessed that he himself had a huge crush on Pia but checked himself in order to save his friendship and thus there begin a new love story. She was so happy when they announced their engagement.

They will be getting engaged after 2 days and that's why she wanted to leave as soon as possible. She is receiving continuous calls from them both and Abhay is almost hysterical declaring that if she won't come he will cancel the engagement. That's why here she is sitting waiting for Arnav. Although she didn't want to but babuji has insisted that she should talk to him before deciding anything about leaving. It was then she heard someone entering the living room with calculating timid steps.

Arnav is again running late. He cursed and exhaled some expletives for those workers who are running late in their work and restricting him from getting back his love. Its not that he didn't want to talk to her. Many a times he just felt like barging into her room and converse with her like those good old times but he was afraid of being shown the door brutally. Though he know its next to impossible for Khushi to be rude with him but he is still scared. The last time the way he behaved indifferently with her and didn't supported her and moreover let her believe that he cheated on her were nothing less than crime and he is ready to take anything even her beating as a punishment but yeah he won't let her leave him at any cost. She is allowed to do anything but she has to be with him and he will make sure of that. After all this hard work and late nights are all put in just as a way to get her back and get her back that he will. He has noticed that she has changed but all in the exterior way like showing this to the world but from the heart not even an ounce of her has been maligned. She has started wearing western clothes although still decent and has started conversing in English with everyone except for babuji maaji. But she still work like a log to make sure that everyone in the house is comfortable especially him. What does she think that she will send his lunch to the office and asking OP not to tell him that it was her who made it and he would not realize. Didn't she remember that he was the first one who has tasted her cooking whenever she will make something from childhood. Didn't she know that he will recognize that his room has been cleaned up by her becoz only she could do it with such a perfection. God how much he missed her only he knows. But not anymore tomorrow he will tell her everything and leave it for her to decide whether to accept him or let him live his life like a dead soul. But still he won't let her leave no matter what her decision will be, she will stay in his eyesight with maaji babuji and if possible Prince. His thoughts came to a standstill as he parked his car at the gate of Raizada mansion. Expecting to find everyone sleeping he walked in but the sight in front shocked him at the same time swelled his chest with delight. Prince was lying on Khushi's chest while she was singing him something he guessed it as the same song she used to sing him when he couldn't sleep due to some tension. His head was pressed against her chest and she was patting his back and time and again ruffling his hair. It was such a serene scene that Arnav kept looking at them leaning against the pillar. He forget the time and place ...all he could do was admire the scene and hope for the same in future even after knowing the truth. His thoughts got disturbed when he saw Khushi standing up from her place and carry prince to his room without even noticing him.

When she was waiting for Arnav in the living room, she got startled by the sound of some timid steps. She turned in the direction to see Prince walking towards her in thoughts as in contemplating to approach her or not. After her encounter with Prince at the hospital he never came forward to talk. Although she saw him stealing glimpses at her as in trying to figure her out. She was also dying to talk to him. He was so cute and anticipating last time when he talked to her that she couldn't help love him. But there are so many things to be cleared by his dad before she could decide her behaviour towards him. So she was ecstatic when she saw him coming towards her. She could at least try and have some talk

" Kya hua beta idhar aaayie . Aap ab tak soye nahi"

He came and sit beside her maintaining a modest distance as in showing his hesitation. "Wo maine bad dream dekha. Papa bhi nahi hain . Aul dada dadi bhi sho lahe hain. Main yaha aapke shaath bethu"

"Kyu aapko ab nind nahi aa rahi"

"Nahi meli nini to ul gayi"(nahi meri nini(sleep) to ud gayi) he said it so cutely that Khushi wanted to pinch his cheeks and kiss them.

"Accha aap idhar aayie main aapko ek gana sunati hoon. Aapko pata hain jab aapke papa ko bhi aise hi neend nahi aati thi to main ye song sunati thi aur wo jhat se so jaate the" she gestured him to come in her arms and he obliged almost willingly.

"Aap kaha thi ab tak. Papa aul mele saath kyu nahi lehti thi" he asked as soon as she allowed him to snuggle up with her

"Main.. main job karti hoon beta isliye door rahti thi"

"Ab to nahi jaogi na" he looked at her with such an expectant eyes that she couldn't help but lie

"Nahi. Nahi jaongi"

"plomish"

'pinky promise"

"Eww pinky plomish to girlsh kalti hain aul papa kehte hain ki main to big boy hoon" he scrunched his eyebrows cutely

"Accha baba boys wala blue promise ab to khush"

"Bohot" he stretched his arms to show her the magnitude of his happiness but being snuggled to her ended up hugging her more tightly

"Accha ab aap apni eyes close karo aur main aapko lori sunati hoon"

"woh papa wali"

"Haan wahi" and she sang feeling so content after many years and Prince also slept like he never did before. Somewhere his small heart always crave for the love of a mother which he never got and today getting just a glimpse of it is very satisfactory for him.

She saw him sleeping peacefully and gathered him in her arms to go tug him in his bed. She has hardly taken a few steps when she felt the song the air was murmering changed and the strong wind breathed in her hairs just like she always felt whenever Arnav is near. She halted on her steps and her back collided his chest. The touch is electrifying. Even after so many years his single touch could turn her knees into jelly. Her breath hitched when he encircled her waist with his hands and whispered in her ears "Kya hua ruk kyu gayi. Chalo leke use uske kamre main"

"Nahi wo.. umm .. aa..p lijiye a..pne bte ko uske.. ka..mre main sula diji..ye" she stammered and immediately scolded herself in her mind to behave like a nervous teenager in front of her first crush.

"Mera beta..aaha.. abhi dekhkar to lagta hain ki mujhse jyada tumhara hain" he exclaimed huskily

" There is a huge difference between illusion and reality Mr.Raizada and trust me I know it" she looked straight into his eyes to let him know what she is talking about and he took the bait and replied.

" Yeah but sometimes you need to give your fate a chance to completely open the windows of reality and embrace the shine of the sun.." he was about to elaborate when the shrill ring of her phone disturbed them and as Prince started stirring from his sleep Arnav took him from her arms and ask her to attend the call while he will settle Prince in his room.

Arnav tucked prince in the spread adjusting the pillows and checking the lights and window and his thoughts keep going to Khushi. Who the f**k is calling her at this time of the night. He was angry but as he passed the living room and listened to Khushi talking to someone he was beyond raged

"Yeaah .. Abhay I will come back tomorrow I promise... come on yaar try and understand ...no need to cancel anything I will be there.. by the way I was just thinking about you only...u must be happy naa... can't wait ohh poor you.. have little patience sweety.. trust me the wait is worth it... yeah give my love to.." and before she could complete her sentence Arnav forcefully snatched her moblile and threw it on the floor breaking it into pieces.. his eyes are smouldering and body stiff and his every tissue smelt danger. She was flaggerbasted that she shouted "What the hell ... why did you it" he didn't answer but dragged her towards his room and then towards the poolside and left her hand with such a force that she went stumbling backward but supported herself with the wall. He was breathing hard trying to control his anger and extreme insecurity.

She knew something must be troubling her and one look into his eyes and she knew he has heard her conversation and interpreted in his own way. She has always taken his possessiveness as a token of his love but not anymore. "What the hell was that. May be for you that small mobile doesn't hold a value Mr. Raizada but it connects me to my work and my friends. How dare you threw it like some piece of shit?" if she was angry he was no less.

"Yeah friends I have heard what kind of friends you have. Since when did you started having male friends" he yelled not being able to stop himself. He knew he is being unfair but right now all he care is someone is posing a threat on his status in her life and that's something he can't bear.

"Since the only male friend I had cheated on me and ditched me" she replied in flow but regretted immediately looking at the pain and hurt being depicted on his face. There was an uncomfortable silence before a determined glint pass through Arnav's eyes and he caught hold of Khushi's wrist and dragged her towards the gate to his car. She kept on protesting and asking him to leave her and where he is taking her but he didn't even glanced at her way simply picked her up and placed her on the passenger seat and drove away. The commotion woke up maaji babuji who looked on stunned as Arnav forcefully taking her somewhere. Babaji came forward to intervene but maa negated and told him to let the children talk and settle the things between them , both prayed for their happiness and went to the bed for a sleepless night.

Khushi's tears have stopped after a while so has the tight grip Arnav has on the steering wheel of his mecedes benz. Her tears have always been his weekness but damn only he has been the cause of them but no more. Today he will clear all the things once and for all and then whatever her wish will be his order.He had decided earlier to do it tomorrow but he can't even waste a second. Khushi looked at Arnav for once in a while as in silently asking him their destination but he is not in a mood to reply. They are travelling for more than an hour but Arnav doesn't look like stopping. He kept driving and she meanwhile was staring outside the window refusing her mind to think about anything else than the beautiful scenery. Its dark outside and they must be outside Delhi and passing by some kind of jungle and may be a lake as she can hear the sound of water falling down .. may be a waterfall.She got jerked forward as he stopped the car applying the breaks almost breaking them. Damn he is still high in spirits and anger she cursed under her breath and before she could as much as touch the knob of door it was opened and a hand was in front of her silently asking for her to put in her own. So now we are being gentleman and seeking permission. She almost snorted and got down ignoring his hand and sight before her left her mouth open. she blinked her eyes several times t to make sure that the sight in front of her is real or just a figment of her imagination.

Right there in front of her lay a mansion in Rucker design in the middle of the jungle. there must be nothing around hundreds of yard of this mansion except those wild trees or may be some animals and she could hear the voice of cascading of water so must be some river. She looked straight into his eyes to confirm that is this what she is thinking and he confirmed it by a confident nod but looked at her in search of may be appreciation but she couldn't even seem to make a single voice seeing her dream of childhood coming true. During one of their many chats she had told Arnav that she dreams of having a house in the middle of nowhere where they both will be alone in their own world and nothing and nobody will disturb them and she in her childishness had went on describing how it should be of red and white stones with many bedrooms and must be facing some water body and she even had showed him a design she had made of that house. That day he kept it saying that in future he will gift her such house with many more modification but she had laughed it off saying that she knows that teenage fantasies couldn't be always fulfilled but she has the right to dream. That day she didn't know that there will come a day he will bring her in front of her fantasy especially when she has convinced herself that he doesn't love her.
When she was lost in her thoughts he grabbed her hand and started taking her inside the mansion. She just followed him like a puppet not knowing how to react to all this. They went past an exquisitely designed miller house and a lovely living room. He gave her few minutes to admire them before proceeding further. They are designed keeping the comfort of the housemates in mind and she know here only her comfort and wish has been considered. Just like she wanted they are designed in white and brown and glass, wood and her favourite brands of furniture and stones are used throughout. Even she could see a mini library with all her favourite books in it including many more on her favourite subjects psychology and maths and hundreds of novels. Must be love stories she mused.



living room


miller house

She thought she would be soon shown the many bedrooom and kitchen and many other things in this mansion and it will be next day before she will hear Arnav's voice but it seems like Arnav didn't have this much patience. He caught hold of her hands and led her through those eye catching glass staircases. When she has told Arnav about her love for spiral staircases that too of glass she didn't thought that travelling through them would be so dangerous at the same time exciting. In fact her hold on Arnav's hand grew tight fearing that they might break. Gosh she will think twice before dreaming from now on and four times before telling them to Arnav.




All she could think was why is Arnav showing her all this after her outburst and whats his motive. She could feel that its his way of showing his love. This mansion must not have been build within the one week of her arrival. He must have been planning it from years. But why he has brought her here and why the f**k he is so quiet till now. The Arnav who had the habit of shouting on every one thing or the other is seem to have vanished. Before she could ponder on this new mood swing of Arnav anymore she heard a splash of water and looked in front. The sight in front her froze her to spot.



The waterfall admist those rare species of plants looked like a clear sky leading up to a downpour. The artificial light around it form their reflection giving the effect of a rainbow formed in the water amidst a dark night. The giant spray from below was reaching up towards the sky in order to touch it. Never before has she seen anything as magnificent as this scene. The drop downward was drenching, dripping, and dousing to them as they are daring enough to look at it. The onslaught of water looked like a cascade of never-ending rain. Though, it seem a bit overwhelming, the view is one of the most breathtaking she had ever seen. Every rock protruding out down below made the water grasp for something in the distance as it fell out of the sky.

Even Arnav was lost looking at the view. He is the one who brought architects and technicians from US to set up this man made waterfall but he has seen it only during the daytime. It looks like the dark night can finally do justice to its beauty. He has planned to do all this tomorrow and in more orderly
fashion. but her accusation snapped his control becauz to some extent she is right in blaming him. Hearing it from her mouth has cut him through and he couldnt stop himself to make efforts to rectify everything. He has read that the water was the clearest thing in the world. We could see through it as if it were a piece of glass. So he could only think of this place when he decides to bring transparency in their relationship that is if their is any relation ship at all for her. For him this is his last chance and he can't lose it. The water in front is sliding down smoothly as it fell, having no problems with the giant drop jut like he should have been explaining himself. The silence is peaceful but its need to be broken.
" I didn't cheat you. iIcould never" his voice was almost like a whisper and it seems even decibly lower due to sound of the water cascading in front. If she wasn't standing close to him, she wouldn't have heard it.
"Look Arnavji I m sorry I shouldn't have said it. You were not wrong. Everyone want an educated and modernised wife not a traditional idiot like me." she couldn't have completed her sentence before she was pinned to his body
" How dare you belittle yourself. ohhh now i get it all these changes... western clothes... talking in English.. all this is because you assumed that your dressing style and accent has apparently led me to fall in love with someone else." "Is this what it is all about damnit"she free her arms from his hands and stepped backward to create a considerable distance between them. her cheeks are flushed but she remain undeterred
" So what.? So what if i thought this.? isn't it at least the partial truth and yeah don't even for a second think that all these changes in me are for you. they are just for my inner satisfaction. my world doesn't revolve around you anymore" she lied through her teeth and turned her back to him.
"You have no idea how far this is from the truth. How could you even think that your unbelievable innocence, highly adorable dresses and fluent use of hindi could drove me away. As a matter of fact i was never driven away. I was just... lost."
she turned towards him " Truth truth truth... thats what i have been hearing from the moment i arrived here but just the word and nothing more. would you at least bother to explain" she asked exasperated from all these mysteries.
"Will you listen this time"
"I m all ears"
" It all started after the six months of my stay in london were completed..

Flashback
Arnav was so excited after landing in London. He slaved hard, distributed his ideas to the investers and tried to come in contact with some high class businessmen. So that they can help him learn the basic tricks of running a successful business.He was missing his home especially Khushi but consoled himself that it will be all worth it. He will soon go back and fulfill all the dreams of his parents and Khushi. It was six months and he was enjoying the college life as well and even made some friends. He never missed his phone calls to Khushi and she has become a diary to him where he instead of writing speaks the happening of the whole day and he found even khushi so enthusiastic to talk to him that he is encouraged to do so.
One such days he has went out with his friends to a club and was as always drinking in the corner. He hated dancing and avoids it even more knowing that girls supposedly make pass there on the dance floor and sometimes even thinks get out of hand. He don't want to give in to these temptation and wrong khushi's trust in him. He was just being his usual self and all his friends are on the dance floor feeling up some random chicks when a spurring voice being purred in his ears
"Hey handsome sitting alone in the crowd. Wanna have some fun" he turn to his right to see a girl sitting very close to him. She was looking somehow half Indian and half American. even her accent gave it. She was lean having a perfect figure and looked slightly drunk. She looked like one of those rich spoilt brats who roam around in pubs and clubs openly. She looked quite classic to turn some heads in her show-stopping sexy sequin short black dress featuring a one shoulder bodice with an asymmetrical neckline, cut out side, and mini length. The dazzling short sequin dress has a slim fit that accentuates her curves, the perfect cocktail dress for the girl looking to be noticed he observed.



"Like what you see" she asked sultrily crossing her legs to expose them a bit more
"Sorry just noticing the dress. Its very nice..la femme right.. well you see i have this ambition to build a fashion house so gotto know the trend" Arnav replied casually ignoring the blatant hints thrown at him.
"Ouch i m hurt" she replied feigning a disheartened look
"i m surprised why so?" Arnav remarked playing along. Although he didn't want to continue talking to her but he has nothing else to do right now.
" You know i don't understand how you people are so stuck with clothes that you forget to think about the person who are wearing them and for whom you making them.For example lets take my dad he is known to be the fashion king of Europe. You must have heard about him Mahindra Kashyap. Of course you must have. silly me. U know this dress is a gift from him on my birthday along with a car and the most interesting thing is that he don't even have time to give them to me himself.He send his PA to deliver them to me and i can bet on my life that its his pa only who must have reminded him that today is my birthday" she laughed sarcastically and grabbed the drink from his hand and gulped it down in one go. "So whats say lets dance. Comeon you can't say no to the birthday girl. can you?" she asked seductively and Arnav followed her to the dance floor holding her hands and started dancing maintaining almost a modest distance between them which she tried crossing many a times even grind her hips suggesstively but he ignored. He had no desire to dance with her but her story somehow moved him. He has never faced loneliness in his life having Khushi and his parents always at his disposal. So he could only sympathise with her. But the main reason for agreeing to have a dance with her is her father. He is banking on her to meet the fashion king. If Mahindra will somehow agree to mentor him, it will be very beneficial to his carrier and if it means befriending his crazy daughter then so be it. Lavanya collapsed on him while dancing but eyed her car keys before fainting.
He decided to drop her out of humanity. He reached her house using the detector attached to the car. By his sheer luck her father was there when he carried her into the house. He told Mahindra about her fainting episode and him dropping her left to no option who requested him to stay the night.He understood seeing the hidden concern and possessiveness of an Indian father wanting to confirm the story from Lavanya so agreed. In the morning when she woke up and thanked him, her father become genuinely happy with him and invited him for a dinner and that's what he wanted... just a chance. He came and was able to impress Mahindra with his business plan and designs.
There started the great kinship between him and Mahindra. He became a consistent visiter to their house owing to the fact that Lavanya also become his friend. She many a time expressed the desire to get involved on a higher level but he always denied politely taking them as her teenage idiocity not knowing how slowly her crush on him is turning into an obsession . He even accompanied Mahindra to some dinner and expressed his ideas to many high handed businessmen who show interest in them. He even opened a small branch over there and for this he organised a small party and invited all of his friends including Lavanya. of course the first person who have been informed about it was Khushi and her excitement was what added to his zeal and have him throw a lavish party in the club of his college,
"So, Arnav you r on your way to get what you want" asked Lavanya immediately as she entered the club making all the boys snap in her direction. she was indeed looking glamorous in her super sexy long gown by Jasz. A colorful shimmering charmeuse long print dress with a seductive cut out design embellished with sequins and beads. A daring evening gown for the girl who wants to be noticed.



Arnav has by now noticed her lust for attention. Everywhere she went all she want is that people's undivided focus and won't tolerate any competition in that and that's why she was always dressed to kill. But Arnav found her artificial that's why she couldn't attract him as he can't even dare to compare her with khushi's purity.
"well i guess so" he replied nonchalantly not wanting to indulge himself into any of her forced flirting. Anyways his friends always consider her as his girlfriend. Even some outsiders have this misgiving by seeing the attachment Mahindra Kashyap has to him. He also could guess Mahindra's over indulgence in him is because of Lavanya's appreciation and Mahindra may as well see some future between him and Lavanya. Many a times he want to just tell them about Khushi and get it over with but then he was always private person. and Khushi is always been his and only his. He don't want to discuss about such a sacred relationship with anyone here. They would never be able to understand. So he let the things be. He is clear to Lavanya about his disinterest and thats what it matters but yeah he would prefer not to make any scene and encourage gossips.
The party is going on smoothly with people dancing and some of his notorious friends have invited strip teasers and now he can't get himself embarassed by refusing them although he is feeling really awkward so decided to stay as far as possible from the drinking and dancing arena. A voice suddenly grabs everyone's attention. He turn to find Lavanya holding the mike and standing on the stage " Hello boys and girls. I hope you all are enjoying today's party. My dear friend has climbed the first stair of success. So lets hear it for him. Comeon Arnav come up and open the chaimpaign "She beckoned him and he complied having no other option. He opened it almost artistically and filled the glass in Lavanya's hand when the crowd started cheering "kiss" "kiss" leaving him almost numb. He was about to deny it politely when Lavanya smashed her lips with his catching him off guard. He immediately backed off shocked but nobody noticed as all were drunk and fazed and stomped out of the party angrily. He didn't like what happened inside one bit. These lips are always meant for Khushi. How could someone else touch them. He washed his lips with water rubbing them almost turning them red. Thats when he saw lavanya approaching him with a lopsided smile and that triggered his anger.
"How dare you kiss me inside Lavanya.? How man times do i have to tell you that i m not interested damnit" he yelled scaring her but she didn't budge
"What why are you freaking out. I asked you so many times for a relationship but you denied without even giving me a proper reason. and for christ sake i just kissed you in there not raped you in front of everyone that you r getting hyper. Its just a f**king kiss. Whats the big deal" she retorted angrily. She has been trying to get him for quite a while now. Even helped him with his dad without even asking and he always said no. No boyfriend of hers ever interested her like him when he is not even ready to give her a glance. Nobody ever has said no to Lavanya Kashyap .. her one hint and they are ready to do anything for her. But he is just being so hard and now she can't bear this ignorance anymore.
" Of course it is damnit. For you guys may be kissing someone must be a day to day thing but for me its sacred and supposed to be shared with only one person. i have that person do you hear me. i have her. I have only ever kissed her and never touched anyone else and i never will. Get this into this pretty little head of yours. You can never have me. I m someone else's from the moment i was born. So go find someone else to play with" with this he went off not bothering about the tears and crestfallen face of her. He knew he has been a little unfair to her. For them dating and physical relationship is a casual thing and she didn't even knew the depth of his relation with Khushi. But he can't stop himself. The very thought of betraying Khushi set him off.He has promised his maa and babuji to remain loyal to her and how can he even think of breaking it. so from that day onwards he stayed away from her as much as possible. Even she coordinated this time avoiding parties where he was supposed to be present. He even restricted himself from taking big helps from Mr. Kashyap not wanting to give him wrong ideas. Things were running smoothly that he just begin imagining his coming life with Khushi. He didn't go home in between fearing that he won't be able to gather all that courage and return back here again alone. But now he can't wait to go back. He is working day and night non stop and was successful in getting some fruitful projects which will be beneficial after he will open up his fashion firm and merge it with babuji's bussiness in India. Just three more months and he will be ready to fly off.
He was again sitting at a disco. He has to come here on the persuasion of his collegues on the celebration of the success of a big project. he was as usual alone when he was offered a drink from someone
"I m sorry I don't.." he trailed off as he saw the person was none other than Lavanya.
"What didn't expect me to be here" she was sounding extremely drunk and would have fallen off her seat had he not supported her. "I know you r angry for last time but i din't know you have been hooked and booked 'from the moment you were born' " she laughed as in mocking herself when some tears spill from her eyes making arnav feel bad for her her
"Hey Lavanya. Its OK . I guess i should have told you. Right now i think i should drop you off as you r so damn drunk" he began standing when Lavanya jerk him back into his seat.
" So you have forgiven me" she continued in her drunk voice.
"Yeah Lavanya. I did." he tried to make her understand and get her back safely home. He owe this much to her dad.
"No you didn't. Ok prove it. Have this drink and mark a new phase to our friendship" having no other option he chucked down the whole drink in one go which tasted like vodka and more bitter and took her to his car and drove off to her house.
He didn't know what happened next but next day when he opened his eyes his head was hurting badand almost gasped in horror when he saw his clothes being strewn all around Lavanya's room along with her clothes. The thing made him froze to death was his naked state along with Lavanya who was lying beside him. 'No no this can't be happening. how could this be possible. i just had two three pegs. how could i be so intoxicated that i didn't even realise that the girl beside me is lavanya not khushi. what will i be going to say to khushi' he whispered to himself not believing he has broken khushi's unbreakable trust on him. He almost has tears in his eyes thinking about her. He has always dreamed about his first being with Khushi on their wedding night. He knows his friends would tease him if they came to know about this but its him. He has always been a man of principles. How can he commit such a sin. He was involved in his self pity party when a shriek shocked him. He turned towards lavanya and noticed her surprised and shocked emotion mirroring his. He can notice there was no sadness in it but thats definitely because she has feelings for him. But he didn't and he has to clear it to her
"look lavanya it was a mistake. You were drunk and i was drunk and we just got carried away. I think we should deal with it like adults'
"Now you are thinking of dealing things like adults. When i kissed you,you made such a big issue out of it and now you slept with me when i was not in my senses you r marking it as a mistake" she shouted
" look lavanya its not i who slept with you. It could be even you because i don't remember anything. and out of the two of us its me who was a virgin and definitely don't know the depth of these things. So you shouldn't blame me. Its not like i broke your virginity" he told her coldly looking at the sheets which are not showing any blood spots and wearing his clothes fled off ignoring her sobs and cries. He honestly didn't have a heart to care about anyone else. He is in a maze not knowing what to do. He definitely can't tell this to Khushi when till date he couldn't gather courage to tell her about the kiss fiasco. How could he expect her to take all of this in her fragile heart. No he would just forget it and move on. That's the best thing he could think off right now. He will repent his mistake by fulfilling each and every wish of Khushi but one thing he can't afford is to lose her. So from that day he started working maniacally and talked to khushi very less lest she realise his guilt and sadness.it went on for one month when Lavanya came to his office and startling him threw a file on his face.he was beyond shocked and yelled at her that people even outside the cabin lookd in
" What kind of and idiocity is this. how could you behave so immaturely"
"First read the file and then i will see how you will dare to shout at me" he sighed frustratingly not even wanting to see her face but anyhow opened the file to read him and seconds after it fell from his hands. The file read patient name as Lavanya Kashyap and declared her as one month pregnant. He fell back on his chair not knowing what to do or say. If someone would have touched him at that instant he would have declared him dead.
"What happened ASR why are you not yelling anymore" she taunted
"Take care of it yourself." he whispered. It cut through his heart thinking about what he is doing but he has no other choice.He has Khushi as his top priority and he could never chose anyone over her.
"What.."she spluttered shocked and he called the security to respectfully escort her out. He knew he is breaking all his principles but how could he not he remembered Khushi's dreams of having dozens of kids with him. How could he break it. So its better be inhuman sometimes but he is scared that what if lavanya abort it. He never wanted to be a reason of someone's death especially his own flesh and blood. He just hope that Lavanya would be kind enough to keep it and if after giving birth she wanted to give it away he can somewhat convince Khushi to accept the baby without telling her the complete truth. Yes he will go talk to her tomorrow when she will be able to hear it with clear mind.
But next day when he reached her house he found that she was in a hospital. Thinking it was related to the baby he rushed to the hospital but found an even more shocking sight. Lavanya has tried to commit suicide by cutting her wrist . She is fine now but unconscious and baby is also fine. Arnav almost sigh in relief when he found Mr. Kashyap turning red at the mention of baby. He decided to clear everything before he started torturing Lavanya... afterall however modern he is but a indian father will always remain an indian protective father. He requested to talk to him for a while and looking at Arnav's face Mahindra ask him to come to home after the discharge of Lavanya.
Next day when Arnav visited his house he was raged and unbelievably angry and called Arnav names for doing this to his daughter. Arnav tried to explain his part of the story but Mr. Kashyap is not listening anything. He told Arnav that Lavanya is refusing to abort the baby. So if he won't marry her, he will destroy his petty little bussiness along with his father's . Arnav need no such threats. He has decided no running away from responsibilities. He will marry her and see what can be done when he will reach home.
But all that has conspired after he reached home pushed him deeper into the pit of guilt. He didn't tell anyone the whole truth because it won't solve anything and moreover the innocent child will be always tagged as a mistake which he don't want. Moreover Khushi will never be able to move on. If she will start hating him. May be some day she can start a new life though it will tear his heart into pieces but that's what he deserve. He listened to every fight in his household mutely feeling so helpless. He many a time wanted to thrash Lavanya for being so rude to Khushi and his parents but couldn't. Doctors have informed him about Lavanya's mental condition. She is obsessed with him and if he ever do anything against her wish she can again turn violent and try to harm herself and the baby. So he kept quiet decided to settle everything once the baby is born. but things got out of hand when she falsely blamed Khushi for trying to kill her and mami's accusation added like oil in fire.He then and there decided he would tell the complete truth to Khushi no matter what will be its consequences but after that Khushi made herself scarce to him. He was even dieing to get a glimpse of her but she didn't complie. He even knocked her door frantically many a times in absence of maa babuji but she never opened the door. He was so frustrated that finally as a last resort he called sameera, Khushi's only trust worthy friend to set up a plan to meet her but the day when they decided to execute on this plan turns out to be the darkest day of his life. Khushi left the house taking away his last shreds of sanity with her. No tears are left in his eyes now. He tried to search for khushi wherever he could and even appointed some detectives. All he want to do is to make sure that she is safe and sound wherever she is even if she refuse to come back. He just want to take care of her even as an invisible entity in her life. But if only he could find her whereabouts. Its like she has vanished in thin air. He know she won't do anything stupid. She is a strong girl. But for his mind he wants to know but noone could find her.
At home things look peaceful from outside but he knew how his babuji and maaji were feeling about Khushi leaving her house. Even babuji was sick these day having blood pressure problems . He didn't let arnav take care of him brushing off as an stranger. He know that they are blaming him for losing their gudia and why wouldn't they. He can never forgive himself for breaking Khushi's heart like that and nothing could help him repent his sins now. So he completely isolated himself from the world and worked maniacally to fulfill all of Khushi's dreams. In his own madness he forget that he has a pregnant wife at his home. Anyways after marriage he has always maintained a fair distance from her sleeping on the poolside while later on the recliner after mami found out once. He has always politely ignored her advances stating her pregnancy as an excuse. After Khushi's departure he has completely stopped talking to her and even anyone else. All the talks he did are professional otherwise gazing at stars on poolside trying to remember the time he spent there with Khushi. He know he is neglecting his child as well but right now he is not left with the love to give anyone else when the only person who matters to him the most has been hurt by him. He thought he didn't deserve to give anyone love or even receive it. Moreover he was somehow relaxed that at least maa and even mami is taking care of Lavanya may be only as a duty after reading Khushi's letter. So he just concentrated on expanding his business. Even babuji has hand over his factory to him which he had accepted politely and decided to grow it with dedication.
But this steadiness changed when he was called at office saying that Lavanya is in labour. Although he was confused becoz according to his calculation she is only in her eighth month. But then the thought of premature labour scared him. He don't know what to feel but he is happy for the new life which will be coming soon to him.. may be it will give him some solace. He hoped that the child and mother will be fine. But he received the shock of his life after reaching the hospital that Lavanya has delivered a healthy baby boy but only last few minutes of her life is left with her and she already knew that her pregnancy was risky but refused to tell about it to anyone. she has asked to meet Arnav and maa babuji for the last time
On the other hand Lavanya was looking at her son lovingly. For the first time she is feeling that someone only belong to her but her bad luck or should say bad deeds have only left few moments before she will be insignificant in her child's Life as well like she was in her husband and her father's life. She knew the moment Arnav will look at the child he will understand that its not his and also after knowing that its 9 months to her pregnancy not 8 he will realize the truth and may be curse her and the child his whole life. She has to try for the last time to make things right for her child if not for anyone else. She saw the three most kind hearted people she has ever met in her life entering her room and looking at the child with shock written on their faces. The child could easily be gauged as of some american and they looked at her in confusion
" I know what you all are thinking. and i also know that you all will hate me after this but please don't hate this baby. Its not his fault that his mother is such a bitch that she didn't even know his father's name" she tell vehemently with voice dripping with self loath making the three of them gasp "You are the one guy i could never get Arnav. and i wanted you and wanted you like i never wanted anything else not even my dad's love. But you keep denying and the day you told me about Khushi after my little stunt of kissing you. I was shattered and mad.. mad at that unknown person who is coming in my path to get you. I tried to get over you ... trust me i did. This child is the result of one of my trials. After that night i slept with every guy i get a hand on and later even didn't remember their faces. I tried boys of all types..nationalities and accents but nothing helped when my heart only ever wanted you. One day i came to know that i was pregnant. I was all set to abort it when i saw you again at dad's office and all the longings and ache for you returned back vigorously and i decided to use it as a pawn to get you. i know you are conservative indian and the thought of a child can bring you back to me permanently. For that i needed a plan. I met you at the club the very next day and staged the drama of being drunk and offered you a drink which was drugged. You somehow reached my bungalow. I tried to get you to sleep with me that day but even in your intoxicated state you went on murmuring Khushi's name and then fall asleep may be dreaming about her" she laughed but they could guess she was crying looking at the tears continously flowing through her eyes "i undressed you and myself to make you believe that we slept together but the way you behaved coldly next day and taunted me about losing your virginity to a girl like me who has slept with so many guys before made me more determined to play this pregnancy trick. After one month when i told you about it you still asked me to take care of it myself refusing to leave your true love and i cracked and tried to commit suicide but not enough to die and tell dad the half truth and i know that will do the trick he will threaten you to destroy your dad and that will work and it did. You married me and brought me to India. The drama which unfolded then on make me realise why you refused me. But i stayed stubborn thinking if that angel will leave the house then you and your parents will start loving me and may be you will stop sleeping on the recliner. After she left thing become worse and you even forget my existence wallowing for your love. But then i receive the care and even the slight love from your maa and mami. i know they r only concerned about the child and taking care of me because of the promise they made with Khushi. I was overwhelmed and realised for the first time how selfless and kind you guys are and how selfish and cruel i was. But it was too late do anything moreover i came to know about the risk in my pregnancy. I have at first kept this child to get you but slowly even i develop that motherly affection towards him.. a feeling i never believed existed. So i decided to keep it. I know you can never forgive me. But mother in law and father in law i request you both to not punish Arnav anymore. It was my fault." she looked at them who averted their eyes not knowing whether to get angry with her for all the things she did to their son or to somehow sympathise as she was on her death bed
"What do you want now that you have destroyed everything"Arnav asked with emotionless eyes which scared lavanya and she started whimpering
"Nothing . Just keep this child with you. Don't tell him about his biological father and mother and please don't hand him over to my father whom i have told the complete truth only recently. Please i don't want him to be another lavanya. If possible please search Khushi and if she will accept him i could see him peacefully from above."
Arnav just said an inaudible "OK " and decided to leave the room to digest everything he has heard right now when she stopped him
"Please just last request. You burn my pyre .. please" with a curt nod Arnav left the room leaving his parents to say final goodbye to Lavanya. he sat on the corridor thinking about everything he has heard. In a way he was relieved that he has not betrayed Khushi but the main question is now what. He can only hope that one day he will find her. and the baby he is honestly relieved that its not his otherwise he will never be able to accept him fully knowing it is one of the reason of his loss of Khushi . But now he can love him.He could see the vulnerability and innocence of Khushi in that child's eyes


They both will wait for khushi till the end.
flashback ends

" After that day along with amma babuji Prince was also waiting for you to come back to us. In fact that news of babuji being on death bed was one of my last tricks to get you back. He was just having slight BP problem and i advertised it on news channels and newspapers of him being critical so that may be you will listen to it and come back and you did." "sorry" he said sheepishly his eyes glistering with tears matching her state which she crashed into his chest. He tightened his 'hold on her and they both cried together for the years of separation and their misunderstandings and doubts got washed away along with those tears their eyes are shedding. after what felt like hours they separated from each other and looked into each other's eyes without any hesitation and pretence for the first time in years and both their bodies shouted only and only love for each other. The rise of sun from the other side of the waterfall bring them out of their loveland. It was such a divine sight symbolising the arise of new morning bringing love and happiness in their lives. That's when Khushi started hitting his chest with her tiny fist asking him to free her from his embrace but he refused to comply
"laad governor chodo hume. Aapki himmat kaise hui itne saal humse yeh sach chupane ki. Hume humare Arnavji ke bare main kya kya sochne par majboor kar diya aur ab bade aaye hain hume gale lagane." she huffed and puffed looking at him annoyingly while he gazed on amused looking at the childish Khushi returning back with a bang.
"Accha kaun gaya tha mujhe chodke waha un shimla ki wadiyo main. Ek baar bhi meri yaad nahi aayi tumhe" he said in -if-she-can-complain-so -can-i- tone
"ohho ab humi pe saara ilzaaam laga rahe hain. laad governor kahi ke. bade ASR bane firte hain dhoond nahi sakte the hame ..hmph.."
"Kaise dhoondta tum aise chupke jo baithi thi" he saw her turning away from him in her cute jhoota gussa. Somethings can never change. He laughed silently "Accha jaan ab apna ghar nahi dekhna hain kya. dekho pichle ek hafter se isko final touch dene main busy hoon. Phir bhi tumhe lage ki kahi kuch kami hain to bol dena sare architects abhi bhi india main hi hain. Tum jab tak approval nahi dogi tab tak they can't go back" she looked at him lovingly. How much he loves her and what an idiot she was to believe that he has fallen out of love with her in just two years. She leans onto him to plant a chaste kiss on his lips. Something she was dying to do ever since she has came back to delhi and proceeded to move forward and chuckled at the open mouth cute expression on his face " Ab chalenge bhi ki yahi mooh khole khade rahenge. Laad governor time ki koi value nahi" and he chased her both giggling and when caught her pulled her in a passionate kiss showing her just how desperate he is for her and how these years of separation has made him thirsty for her while she just blushed unde his passionate eyes. he then took her to their bedroom promising her of many scandalised things will happen in this very lavish bedroom facing the waterfall

and the kitchen where she will cook for him and their future children and prince. while he will romace with her. He even gave her the demo by wildly smooching her by the wooden walls of the kitchen



They decide to return home after a while as maa babuji and especially prince will be worried especially for khushi and even she can't wait to meet him as she can finally embrace him fully as mother. they went home and informed about the peace making between them making babuji maaji more than happy . Arnav expressed the desire to marry Khushi today itsellf not wanting to wait a single moment while maa admonished him for his impatience while he sulked silenty. She was blushing furiously when the talk of wedding remind her of Abhay Pia engagement which will going to happen tomorrow. She expressed her wish to attend it and Arnav agreed only if she will let him accompany her and promise to never leave his sight for a second. Even Prince teased his father for behaving like a child while he shamelessly declared that he loves Prince's mamma so much and won't tolerate a second of separation from her anymore. He kept embarassing her with his shameless comments while she could do nothing but turn into darker shade of red. Next day he took her to shimla in his private jet where she anwered the query of pia and Abhay about arnav who were shocked to know that their friend was the childhood love of the great ASR. Pia took it to her task to tease arnav and annoy him by telling him how Abhay proposed Khushi 2 years ago while arnav sulked like a baby and kissed her in front of everyone claiming his possessiveness making her laugh. She got so moon eyed seeing Abhay Pia getting engaged


that seeing her even he propose in the same stye bending on his knees. its like he is having a competition with Abhay and she found all this so adorable that it brought tears in her eyes

One month later they got married in a grand ceremony with ASR proudly announcing his love to her in front of the whole world


Later that night they spent their suhaagraat at the mansion arnav broought for her loving her the way he has promised her on their wedding bed making them one from body as well. Khushi got introduced to his passionate side after the wedding which sometimes even scare her. The result of their passion was born after one year. A baby doll who fulfilled their family making her father, grandfather and brother crazily possessive about her.


They became a happily cherished family whose examples are given till date. That is because there true love has crossed all the hurdles in their path and passed all the tests of time which lead them to an ultimate happiness and bliss
