Chapter 17:
Her breath seemed to stop as she felt his face nd lips so close to hers..She somehow managed to look up frm his lips to his eyes which were piercing into hers...She tried to look away bt her eyes stopped at his left cheek which had finger marks...her finger marks...
She herself don't knw why bt she had this urge to touch his cheek nd soothe it by rubbing it...
She freed her hand frm his grip which he let go this time nd tried to touch his cheek...
But before she could touch his cheek he stopped her hand by gripping her hand softly in his, still looking into her eyes...
She looked at him nd then at his hand which had again gripped hers...
Her eyes again teared up nt coz his grip was rough bt he had scratches on his hand which were also hers..she was feeling really bad and guilty...
K: I...I'm...she again started to cry nd he couldn't see this...
He got up frm her nd straightend himself...She sat up nd looked at him...He took of his coat nd handed it to her without looking at her teary eyes...bt when she didn't take it he was forced to look at her...she was looking at his coat nd then at him confused wht to do...
He bent down infront of her nd she leand slightly back seeing him so close...He swung the coat around her shoulders so it would cover her back...she now understood why he gave her his coat...Her eyes became wider then before nd now she was feeling more guilty for hurting him...
Her tears were rolling frm her cheek to her neck nd then soaked her dress...
K: I...ehm...I..So...I...I mean...T...Tha.. she didn't knw wht she should say first..sorry for hurting him or thnx for giving her his coat...
He stretched his hand for her to grip it bt she was feeling really bad for behaving like this so she got up herself...He fisted his hand thinking tht she was doing it proposly to show him tht she doesn't need help especially his...
He left her to open the door...
She looked at his back nd saw him opening the door...
Before he left he told her in a steal-like-voice:
YOU WILL NOT COME TOMORROW...nd left frm there without turning to look at her...
Khushi was shocked hearing this...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arnav quickly came out of the room nd gathered his thoughts...
A: Shit..wht happend...wht was I thinking when I looked at her...where did those thoughts came when I looked at her..I myself wanted to help her to insult me??...nd she slapped me..again...ND IN RETURN I WIPED HER TEARS???? Whts wrong with me? Why the hell did I go in?? And the audicity of her tht she didn't took my hand for help coz she has to prove tht she can do everything on her own without any help(angry)...
DAMN...
and after such a huge discussion I myslef said tht she shouldn't come tomorrow...I knw she needs some rest frm me (in a low voice)...
BT WHEN DID I START TO CARE FOR HER???...Shit...No I said tht bcoz I need some time to gather my thoughts nd control my emotions nd actions...thts why I need to stay away frm her...
After sometime he left frm there to reach his home as soon as possible...he so needed a shower nd some sleep...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Khushi was still sitting there but now slightly smiling nd thinking of wht happend...bt she felt really bad for hurting him..again...
K: Wht jst happend now? Why did he came??...and why did he do all those things...pushing nd pinning?? And most of all wht did he mean with all tht wht he said??? His intense stare was making me weak...
And after all his pushing, pinning nd getting crushed under his weight I was feeling pain...bt a strange kind of pain...it wasn't the pain which I felt when Vishnu forced himself on me...tht was unbearable pain bt this pain was something sweet...sweet pain...does something like sweet pain exsist??
Stop it Khushi!!!!!!!
But why did he said tht I should not come tomorrow to his house???
Wht is wrong with him???she was really confused with his behaviour...
After sometime Khushi also resumed to her work...trying to forget wht happend...but it wasn't so easy as she thought..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally it was evening and Khushi's duty had finished...Now she had to go back to her house...
K: I hope everything is fine at home...she thought...Btw today will be the groom and his family coming at our house to see Payal...I hope everything will be good...
With tht thought Khushi made her way to her home...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RM:
Ar: No Di, you aren't going anywhere!!! Call them and postpone this...
Anjali was ignoring her brother and choosing a saree for herself which she would wear later on...She passed by him to her husband Shyam who was sitting on the bed and reading a book to stay out of the bro-sis fight to ask him which saree she should wear...
An: Which saree you prefer? The red one or the yellow one?
S: Ehm Rani-Sahiba you look beautiful in everything you wear...
Ar: Stop it Di...he said as he grabbed the sarees frm her hand nd threw them on the bed...I don't knw why you are ignoring me bt thts ok but I'm not letting you go in this state...he said in a serious voice...
An: I'm not ill or so tht you won't let me go...Didn't you heard wht Khushi ji said tht I need to walk and you...if you don't want to come with us then its ok...she said in a sad voice...
Ar: Di why are you crying?? I didn't said anything..he said as he tried to calm her down...
He looked at his Jijaji who was suddenly so engrossed reading the morning-newspaper an tht too holding it wrong...
Ar: Ok...Ok Di you can go..I won't stop you...
Anjali's face lit up at this...
Ar: But without me...he said in a stern voice...
Anjali's eyes brimmed again with tears...
An: Chotte you want to make your pregnant Di go alone??? At this time? And in this state?? she faked a cry...
Ar: But Di you yourself said tht you are not ill nd all tht..btw Jiju will be going with you so why do u need me?..he asked not getting her point...
Anjali looked at Shyam to help her...he reassured her with his eyes nd Messaged Arnav..
Message: MOOD SWINGS...PLZ AGREE otherwise:
Arnav saw the message nd closed his eyes at the antics of his family...
Ar: ok Di I'm coming...get ready..he said hastly nd went to get ready..
After he left Anjali wiped her tears nd grinned at Shyam who in return hugged her lovingly...
An: Btw wht did you wrote in tht message tht he agreed so fast?
Shyam hesitated as he knw if he will tell her about the mood swings then she would surely kill him..
S: N..Nothing...I jst said tht he should agree...he said while hastly leaving for the bathroom to get ready nd leaving a confused Anjali back...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Khushi had reached home and got ready:
She proposly choose this dress...her arms needed some fresh air...the bruises given yesterday by her buaji nd arnav didn't heal a bit...before she covered her arms she massaged her body parts which were hurting...her foot was feeling better bt stil it was purple-blue nd swollen, her lower back (coccyx) was still hurting as she still remembered how Arnav let her fall behind the temple..her arms had still deep marks be it her upper arms or wrists...she tried to cheer herself by thinking tht the finger marks on her face frm buaji's slap weren't visible nd she doesn't need any make-up to hide it...after tht she covered her arms to avoid any humiliating discussion with her family on this day...
Almost everything was ready..she helped to arrange the decoration ignoring the glares which her buaji nd mother gave...
She went to Payal's room to see if she was ready...bt Payal wasn't in her room so Khushi again went down in search for her...
As she was crossing the kitchen she smelt tht something was burning...she quickly went in but the side shocked her...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Raizada's were set to go...
Anjali was wearing a gifted saree by Arnav...He gifted her one of the sarees which he made with his own hands nd there was only one of this design which was designed for Anjali by Arnav himself as he thinks tht there is no other women in the world who deserve this than his Di..
Its a heavy bt still elegant type:
Arnav was wearing this:
An: Lets Go!!! she said excited
Ar: Yeah Di...he said bored while cheking his phone for any mails...
An: Chotte I will sit with u at the passenger seat...she beamed...don't knw how long I have the right to sir there...she said in a low bt teasing voice forcing Arnav to glare at her...
Ar: Wht the, Di u...he stopped seeing her laughing...LETS GO..he said nd walked to his SUV...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payal was there and putting extra salt and mirch (Spices) in the food which their mother had cooked with so much love... One of the dishes was placed on the stove so it wil be burnt...But wht confused Khushi the most was tht she had put extra suger in two cups out of 8 nd placed them so on the tablet so tht she would recognize them later on...
P: Now I will see how this so called Akash nd his sister will agree for this marriage after all this useless food...she said in an evil voice...
Khushi was really shocked bt quickly went out of the kitchen so tht Payal wouldn't see her...After Payal went into her room Khushi quickly entered the kitchen nd locked the door behind herself...
She knot her dupatta at her side nd bundled her hait in a messy bun and started to make all the dishes which her mother had cooked before again...
It was really difficult and hard to do all this in such a short time as her mother took all day to prepare all the dishes...bt she had to do it coz her mothers love was in all this nd she so wanted Payal to get married to the guy whom her family had choosen...Her hands were hurting nd burning as the hot oil fell on her hands nd arms while she made the sweets nd from the kneeding of the dough for the chappatis nd samosa...
In-between she looked out to see if there was anyone near the kitchen nd if the guest had arrived and to her luck everyone was busy to decorate the house frm outside...

Khushi noticed tht her mother proposly let some dishes out...bt tht wasn't the thing which hurt her...it was tht those things were her all time fav...
K: Its ok Khushi...the other things are also very tasty nd especially made by your Mother with soo much love...Maybe she couldn't cook the other dishes as there is already soo much to eat...she tried to make herself happy with these thought bt she knew tht Garima did this proposly coz all the other things were Payal's fav...
K: Come on Khushi its Payal's day so obviously it would be her fav meal...and so you can see tht Amma has noticed wht your likes and dislikes are...she smiled with tears in her eyes as it was soo difficult to see the indifference which her "family" made with her...
K: You will see when its...your wed..ding...Am..ma..will..surely...make your..fav...dishes...Ja..lebi..Bir...Biryani..nd,...nd...lots..of..more..things...which...you...don't know...after this she broke down as she remembered Garima nd Buaji's words "Tht for girls like her there won't be any Prince and wedding"
She was feeling so low and didn't wanted to ruin the happiness of her family so she silently went back to her room...coz it wouldn't make any difference to them if she would be there or not bt they would surely be happy if she wouldn't show her face except her Bauji...he would feel her absence...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raizada's were driving to their destination, with two cars...one was Arnav's all time fav white SUV which obviously her drove, beside him his lovely Di who was making it impossible for him to drive with her non stop talking about Khushi...right behind them on the back seat Nani, Mami and Akash...the other car was with Shyam, Mama and La...
(You all are thinking why they sat like this in the car
)
Obviously it was Anjali's Plan:
Talk non stop about Khushi with the company of Nani and Mami nd a confused Akash who doesn't knw a thing (tiil now) nd would surely praise Khushi along them as he likes all people he meets...and all this wouldn't be possible with La who would talk only about herself and Shyam who wouldn't understand a thing nd would ask a million time if everything is ok...
Arnav had gripped the stearing wheel really hard as he was getting angry listening to all them how they praised Khushi...He remembered all the times with her nd had a weird feeling...something like GUILT?? nd obviously ANGER!!!
An: She is a really sweet nd honest girl...nd most important a really pretty nd beautiful girl with soo much innocence tht you can read in her eyes...I wish I could have a face nd eyes like her...But her eyes always hold some emptiness nd sadness...she sighed...
Akash was suddenly lost nd spoke with an absent mind: Yeah Di..Dr.Khushi is surely a really good person who can cure every patient with her love, smile and care but..but when it comes to her, to her happiness, to her love nd care than I can see how her smiling face changes into something really sad which can break everyones heart but she always tries to hide her sorrows by masking her face with a smile which doesn't reach her eyes..Her eyes Yes...They give everything away...Just one look into them and your breathing stops...There is so much pain in them which she carries everyday...
All were silently listening to him nd then he stopped to look at the others..
Ak: Eh...Ehm bhai wht about your upcoming international fashion show...he tried to change the topic...
Arnav's face had turned soft listening to all this nd he loosened his grip on the stealing wheel...He remembered all the times where she smiled...smiled for others..bt never for herself...Akash was right her eyes gave everything away bt she never let him look in them...He also remembered when she talked to Shyam about ANjali's pregnancy:
You both enjoy this time and let her enjoy the time the most by fulfilling all her wishes which don't neglate her health. Let the problems be on my shoulders I will handle it...
how tired, exhuasted nd sad she looked while saying the last sentence
Ar: DAMN...
An: Wht happend Chotte? she asked concerned...
Ar: Nothing Di..he said meekly nd tried to concentrate on th road..
An: Then why didn't you answered Akash?? she asked trying to knw wht he was thinking...
Ar: Huh?? Eh...he didn't knw wht to say as he didn't heard wht he asked..Don't distract me Di. I'm driving..he said trying to escape the situation...
Rest of the journey was silent as Arnav threatened them tht if someone would talk he would drive back home...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally after half an hour they reached the Gupta house which was shining with all the lights...
They rang the door bell nd after sec the door opened with the glowing faces of Buaji nd Garima nd a smiling face of Bauji...
They welcomed them inside and settled down...
Nani introduced her family and Buaji introduced her family...
After sometime Anjali apologized tht they couldn't come yesterday...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Khushi heared the door bell nd jumped frm the bed as she so badly wanted to be there with all of them bt then she thought of forgetting this idea...She went back to her bed nd leaned on the headboard bt again jumped up
K: Oh God...How can I forget...to make the coffee...and I still hav to prepare somethings...she said in shock with widened eyes...
She secretly sneaked out of her room nd closed the door behind herself so tht no one sees tht she isn't in her room...before she went down she hide behind a pillar and looked at the family sitting in the living area...
First she was shocked to see tht it were the Raizada's who came for her Jiji...there was a slight fear tht it may be Arnav's proposal for Payal...bt then she remembered how Payal said Akash's name...
K: So its Dr.Akash's proposal for Payal...he is such a sweet nd caring person...hw can Payal deny this proposal...No I won't let anything like tht happen...Bt why was I afraid tht it could be Arnav nd Payal's marriage?? she had no answeres...Coz...Coz he is rude..she concluded..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An: Aunty, we are really sorry tht we couldn't come yesterday...Actually I fainted yesterday and we had to spend the day in the hospital...she said in sweet voice...
G: Beta..its totally ok...Btw is everything fine...she asked concerned for her..
An: Yes..Yes..she beamed...
Nani: Acutally our Anjali will soon become a mother...
Garim nd Buaji were really happy hearing this nd loved Anjali as she was their own daughter...
An: Your daughter must be a very lucky girl to get a mother nd aunt like you both..you both reminded me of my mother...she smiled with tears in her eyes thinking about their dead mother...
Buaji nd Garima beamed hearing this while Shashi's smile vanished as he remembered how they behaved with Khushi...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everybody was happy, laughter was oozing frm the hall, how badly she would love to sit with them...she saw her mother loving Anjali bt hearing wht ANjali said made her upset...
K: I wish...Anjali ji tht you were right...she said while some tears rolled her cheek down...
She wiped her tears nd suddenly her eyes fell on Arnav who was sitting nd looking something on his phone and beside him a lady in a short dress...She couldn't see her face as she was glued to Arnav nd only looking at him...Her hair was blocking Khushi's view...
K: Who could tht be?? Nani ji just said her name...Lavanya...Is it Lavanya Kashyap..the one who came yesterday ?? Bt wht is she doing here?? She isn't a Raizada...she tried to guess if it is Lavanya well her dressing sense confirmed it bt still she wanted to be sure...
Finally the lady moved her hair a bit to the side nd Khushi could have a glance who she is nd wht she was doing with Arnav...bt before tht happend Arnav also suddenly turned his head into her direction nd Khushi hide behind the pillar praying tht he didn't saw her...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I KNW I'M EXTREMLY LATE...AND U ALL WANNA KILL ME...IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO STILL READS MY STORY😆...
ANYWAY THE UPDATE WAS LONGER BT ITS NT READY YET BT I WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE SO I UPDATE THE PART WHICH IS GOOD...
