ForcedMarriageShot | J: Just Like Him - Page 4

Loved it. Your concept about the OS are splendid. Please continue.

woww...nice...

Very nice. I agree forced marriage had a lot of potential...so much could have been revealed during that time!

Wow that was amazing if they would have done this scene in the show I think Barun and Sanaya would have acted it out fabulously :)

Awaiting the next part already quite a good attempt !

very well written
will be waiting for letter 'B'

WOW! Glad you guys liked the idea :)

And lemme remind you that these are NOT continuations... They are all stand-alone updates.

AND You guys could give ideas for future Shots. I have thought of the alphabet 'I' already, but you could give me for the rest of the alphabets... Not just name please, also the idea... :)

This is a shot in which Khushi finds out why Arnav married her and yeah' please assume they are staying at GH for another day after the revelation'

B: Bitter Truth

"Truth is bitter, but if you ignore it and live on in a lie, it can eat you up alive..."

"Tell me why you married me, and I will get down!" Khushi insisted.

Arnav looked around frustrated. Something inside him was warning him to not tell her the truth, but then she was being so stubborn!

"FINE! Okay, I will tell you the truth. Now get down!" he yelled, eyeing her feet which seemed to be precariously perched on the terrace-banister.

She hopped off of it, making Arnav's heart stop for a moment. She dusted her blue salwar and walked to him. "Tell me'"

Arnav looked around uneasily. Don't tell her! Don't tell her!

"See, I knew it! You are a liar!" she said, frustrated by his silence.

Feeling his temper rise, he grabbed her shoulder and screamed at her face. "BECAUSE I KNOW YOU AND SHYAM ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR! THAT YOU BOTH ARE RUINING DI!"

He saw her face go pale and a saw the moisture beginning to form in her eyes. There was a tiny prick in his heart, which he ignored and let the satisfaction of her shock spread in him. "What, speechless Khushi?"

She looked at him, and instead of the guilt he expected to see in her eyes, he saw pain and shock.

She pushed his hands off her shoulder and took a step away from him, without breaking eye-contact. "You should have let me die" she said without emotions.

Frowning, he stepped forward. "Khushi?"

She backed away once more, and this was not like the times she used to step away shyly. Her palm was held in front of her. "Don't touch me!" she hissed.

"Go away" she said softly.

She looked up and saw that he was still standing there. "I said LEAVE!" she said blankly again.

Slightly startled, he said "Aunty and Buaji-"

"She is not your Buaji." She muttered. "Leave right now. I-I will come home in ten minutes. Leave me alone."

Arnav backed away unsurely and headed to the exit of the door, something was gnawing at him and when he turned once to look at her, she was sitting on the floor, her knees to her chest. But unlike what he had expected, she wasn't crying. Her face was a sickly shade of grey and she was staring blankly at a point on the wall opposite to her.

She is guilty, she is guilty! He chanted to himself, and hardening himself he left her alone.

*
Half an hour later, she was back at GH, a shadow of her former self. She skipped lunch, and went to sleep.

Garima looked worriedly at her daughter. "Jiji, she has never slept in the afternoons before!"

Buaji nodded her head in agreement, and both shot subtle glances at Arnav who was reading a newspaper, oblivious to the turmoil in the heart of the mother.

*

Khushi was still sleeping with the approach of dinner time.

Garima was bustling about in the kitchen. Stirring the ladle in the kadai, she called "Jiji, where is Khushi?"

Buaji, who was sitting on the sofa, struggled to get up. Arnav looked at her and said "Buaji, you please sit down. I will get her'"

Arnav got up and walked to the bedroom and saw Khushi sleeping on the bed, with the pillow clutched close to her chest and her head buried in it. He went to the bed, and gently pried the pillow out.

The minute he saw her face, he inhaled sharply. Her face was coated with sheen of sweat and her nose was completely red. The side of the pillow which had encased her face was wet. Her face was still lacking any kind of color. He pushed the hair out of her face, and noticed a red book sticking out from under the pillow.

Quietly, he pulled out the book. A page was bookmarked with a red satin ribbon and unable to resist, he flipped it open.

It's over. Maybe I was meant to die that day along with my parents, because what happened today is much worse than that. I can't believe he thought that of me' I learnt that the world is a cruel place, because when you sacrifice something for a person, that person isn't grateful but turns into a monster who blames you for the wrongest of crimes. The only reason that I hid the truth was because Anjali Di Anjaliji would not be able to take the truth and that would shatter Arnavji in return. I was a fool wasn't I, to think he'd be grateful' Instead he accused me of being in a relationship with THAT Shyamji. Am I that bad a person? Was it my fault he is obsessed with me?
In fact, it was because of Arnavji that I met that snake in the first place. If he hadn't released that video, I would never have met him'.
I'm too tired right now.

-Khushi G Singh Raiz

Arnav didn't realized when his hand turned clammy with sweat. She met Jijaji because of HIM? Sweating slightly, he flipped back the pages to the date he had first met her.

4^th June 2011

I met the most Laad Governor person today. The arrogance of the man is formidable! And Jiji's marriage broke. Because of ME. Buaji was so angry' Amma is not talking to me,
What do I do?
I think I'll go make some jalebis'

7^th June 2011

A video of me falling in Laad Governor's arms was all over Lucknow. I went to the news station and gave them good and called them shameless. The worst part was when me, Amma and Babuji were walking back home, some of the neighbourhood guys almost assaulted me. They were saying that if I could go into the arms of that LG, going to them shouldn't bother me. But the day was saved by a nice man I met today' Shyamji.
He seemed quite nice and helped us out.

8^th June 2011

Because of the ruckus the video created in Delhi, I am leaving to Delhi with Jiji and Buaji. And I met Shyamji again at the temple. He asked me to contact him if we need him in Delhi. How sweet of him!

He flipped the pages.

Diwali

Today was the worst day. I hate Arnaviji. I don't understand' Does he have some kind of satisfaction in hurting me? Today was the limit' I am not going to RM from tomorrow. EVER. Besides, Buaji pressurized me into getting engaged to Shyamji. So now, I am his fiance and it would be wrong to think of Arnavji. AND I won't'

Shyam tried marrying her?! The hell-? Arnav was reeling in shock, and then remembered the day Khushi had cried on his shoulder on the havan day.

He turned the pages quickly.

16^th Nov 2011

Shyamji is married! That too to Anjaliji! How can he be so blind? She is so sweet and caring'.! She thinks that demon is God!
I threw the ring at his face and slapped him too. It felt good'.

I WILL tell Anjaliji tomorrow itself.

17^th Nov 2011

I couldn't tell her. I just couldn't. Her mangalsutra snapped, and that put her mood off. And to top it off, I was going to tell her about her husband's betrayal? I just couldn't do it'

25^th Nov 2011

This Shyam is getting on my nerves. Why can't he just leave me alone! Just because I am not telling anyone doesn't give him the right to misbehave with me!

Arnav flipped the pages again, to probably the worst day in his life' and hers as well.

14^th Feb 2012

What happened? Why so suddenly'? I thought he loved me' Everything was fine till yesterday! And I was such a fool to think he'd love me, and fall in love with him in return.
I don't have a family' What do I live for? Maybe I should die' Really'. I mean, why me? What have I even done? I hate myself and Devi Maiyya.
I could be breathing my last, but never EVER will I step into a temple again. EVER.

Arnav closed the book, unable to read anymore. Breathing hard, he looked at Khushi and kissed her forehead.

"I am sorry Khushi. But believe me, I do love you'"

He traced her jaw with his fingers and kissed her forehead.

Her eyes flew open and met his. She backed away, almost falling off the bed. She looked at his red eyes, and regret-filled face. Then her eyes fell on the diary in his hands. She grimaced in understanding.

"Truth hurts doesn't it' What, too bitter for your liking Mr Raizada?"

C for''?
Any ideas?
Idea need not necessarily include that Shyam's truth is out... It could be ANYTHING :)
No criteria except that it should be during the contract... Beginning OR end of the contract bhi chalega :)

another lovely attempt !

Awsome update khushi writing a diary
