Innocence Part 2
K:Buaji,you go back.I want to spend more time with Devi maiyya.I get peace of mind when I am here.
M:Ok Sankadevi..your wish.
Madhumati went.
Khushi sat on one corner and wept.
K:Arnavji...will you come back to me?
Wedding day...
In the morning Khushi woke up and prayed:Devi maiyya,today is my wedding.Please bless me.
Garima wept:Khushi,because of me your dreams are shattered.You are forced to marry the person you don't love for saving the family reputation.
Khushi hugged Garima.
K:No amma.Don't blame yourself.I know that you have not done anything wrong.
Then arrived Subhadra.
S:Garima,you are crying?You cry.This is your punishment for making us cry.
G:If you are angry with me you should punish me alone.Why are you punishing my daughter?
Subhadra smirked.
Payal and Khushi held Garima.
P:Amma,please control herself.
S:I am going to recieve Arnav and Lavanya.
She went.
Garima was crying:Because of me,Khushi is not able to marry the person she loves.
K:No Amma.Arnavji only will marry you.
Garima looked at Khushi:What are you saying Khushi?Are you out of your senses?
K:No Amma..I am serious.
G:How?
Flash back...
Khushi was crying in her room.Surprisingly NK entered her room.
NK:Khushiji,I came here to see you.
K:Naneji,how could you say that you will marry me?You know that I can only love Arnavji.
NK:I know Khushiji and I am sure that Nannav also loves you.But he rejected you yesterday in front of all.I strongly feel that there is a reason for him to behave like this.To know what is going on in Nannav's mind only I said that I will marry you.But he announced that he will marry Lavanya.But trust me Khushiji..Nannav won't marry Lavanya.
K:Why can't he marry Lavanya?
NK:That you will understand on the wedding day.But trust me..I won't cheat you by marrying you.If anybody marries you that will be surely Nannav.
Khushi was relieved.
Present...
Garima:But if NK's belief is wrong?
Payal:It's so confusing.What is NK's plan?
K:I don't know.But I trust him.Naneji is my good friend.He only helped me to save Arnavji when he was kidnapped by Shyamji(Arnav's sister Anjali's husband).
Arnav and Lavanya reached.
Subhadra:Arnav,don't delay...the ceremonies have to start now itself.
Garima:No...Arnav beta...don't do that.Don't do this to Khushi.She loves you a lot.
Subhadra:Garima,don't scream.Arnav will not marry your daughter.How can he marry the daughter of the lady who was responsible for his family's destruction.You are a shameless woman who had an affair with a married man.
Garima lost her control and burst out:Please stop it.Years ago also you accused me of having an illegal affair.Now also you are doing it.But you did'nt even try to listen to the truth once.Without knowing the truth you are trying to destroy my poor Khushi's life.I won't allow that.
Garima looked at Arnav:Arnav beta...like you all think I never had any affair with your father.That time my marriage had just happened with Shashiji.He was running a sweet shop.Your father drove that way when he was drunk.So due to his carelessness his car hit the sweet shop and it got destroyed.But the next day when he got senses back he visited him again.He regretted destroying his sweet shop.He knew that the sweet shop was Shashiji's only income.So he decided to help us by rendering us money to reconstruct the sweet shop.Since there was no other option we took his help.He helped us a lot by getting involved in the sweet shop construction.Your dadi saw us together and misunderstood our relationship.She told your mother that your father has an affair with me.During Anjali's wedding I had come there to invite him for the sweet shop inauguration.But seeing us together your mother suspected us and committed suicide.Your father was depressed as he was innocent.That's why he shot himself.This is the truth.Please believe me.
Subhadra:Nice story you have cooked up.Your characterless woman!
Unexpectedly Arnav raised his voice:Dadi!Enough!
S:Arnav!
A:She is telling the truth.
All looked at Arnav with surprise while Subhadra was shocked.
A:Actually after Khushi and my marriage got fixed accidently I got my father's diary.There he had written about helping Guptas and because of that how he was suspected of having an extra marital affair.
Arnav's eyes became wet.Devayani and Anjali were shocked and emotional.
Anj:Chottey!
Arnav cried:Yes di...we all misunderstood our father.Actually he was innocent.But since he could'nt prove his innocence our Maa killed herself.Poor dad.He could'nt bear it and so he killed himself.He loved my maa that much and he was'nt able to live a life without her.
Arnav and Anjali hugged each other and cried for hating their innocent father.
Anj:Then why did you break up with Khushi?
A:I did'nt want the past to be dug.It will cause only unnecessary tensions.So I kept it a secret.But I thought of telling you and Nani after my wedding with Khushi.Because I did'nt want you all to hate dad anymore.But before that itself Dadi met Khushi's mother and it became a big issue.But I pretended to hate Khushi thinking that her mother herself will spill out the truth before dadi.But unexpectedly NK said that he will marry Khushi.I knew that something was cooking up in his mind.To know that i lied that I will marry Lavanya.But NK did'nt react.The next day NK came to see me.
Flash back...
NK:Nannav..how could you say that you will marry Lavanya?You did'nt even give Lavanya to open her mouth in front of others.
Arnav:If Lavanya opens her mouth she will tell others that she loves another person.Purposefully I did'nt allow her to say the truth.But why did you tell that you will marry Khushi?Do you know how angry I was with you?
NK:I said like that only to know what is cooking up in your mind.
A:But you and Khushi...even for a joke I can't bear it.
NK:But after knowing whom Lavanya love also why did you announce your wedding with her?
Arnav kept silent.
NK:Your anger towards me for linking up myself with Khushi was one of the reasons.Right?
Arnav stared at NK.
NK:Cool down Nannav.I know that you love Khushiji a lot.Still if you have rejected her I am sure that there will be a reason.
Arnav was relieved as NK understood his mind.
A:You are right NK.I have a plan.
NK:What is that Nannav?
Arnav told him about the truth he knew.NK was shocked.
A:So you won't marry Khushi and I won't marry Lavanya.
NK smiled:Yes my bhai..
Present...
Khushi was relieved and happy as well as others.
Arnav:Dadi,if you believe me,please believe that Khushi's mother is not at fault.
Subhadra cried regretting.
She looked at Garima:I am sorry Garima.
Garima tried to smile though she was crying out of happiness.Khushi,Payal,Shashi and Madhumati smiled emotionally.
Akash:NK...why were you sure that Arnav bhai won't marry Lavanya.
NK:Because she is my girl friend and Nannav knew that very well.
All were shocked.
Manorama:Hello hi bye bye...Lavanya is NK's girl friend?
Arnav:I invited Lavanya for our wedding because she is NK's girl friend.
Everybody was surprised.
NK smiled at Khushi:Khushiji,now you understood why I said that Nannav and Lavanya's wedding will never happen?
She could'nt believe that NK and Lavanya were dating secretly.
Arnav and Khushi looked at each other emotionally.
Kyun Khwabon Pe Tere Saaye Hai,
Dil Kyun Hai Tanha Mera,
Kyun Khamoshi Hai Zubaan pe meri,
Ashkon se keh paun na,
Kyun Dard Hai Itnaaa,
Tere Ishq Main,
Rabba Ve Rabba Ve
Rabba Ve Rabba ve...
Ankhain hain meri bhi Nam ,
Kyun Pakar Bhi Tm Ko Khoya Hai,
Hum Kyun Na Ban Paye Hum,
Kyun Dard Hai Itnaaa,
Tere Ishq Main,
Rabba Ve Rabba Ve
Rabba Ve Rabba ve...
Devayani:Chottey...Khushi...go to the mandap.
Anjali:Yes Chottey.Make Khushi yours.
Arnav and Khushi smiled.
NK held Lavanya's hand:We both are alo going to marry here with Nannav and Khushiji.That's why Lavanya wore this heavy bridal dress.
Devayani:That's so sweet.Two couples are getting married.
NK looked at Lavanya:Lavanya,in this bridal wear you look gorgeous.I did'nt know that you can look so beautiful in Indian outfit.
Lavanya blushed.
Arnav-Khushi and NK-Lavanya exchanged garlands.






Khushi sat on the decorated bed.Arnav came near her.Khushi was shy.
But she noticed that he was sad.
K:Arnavji!
A:I am sorry Khushi.Though not purposefully I hurt you a lot.
Khushi caressed his face:No Arnavji.You did that only a good purpose.Because of that amma herself revealed the truth to everyone.Otherwise Dadi would have kept accusing her of destroying your family.
A:Khushi,did you hate me when I rejected you?
K:No.I can never hate you Arnavji.But I felt that my heart was torn.
Arnav held her hand:I am sorry Khushi.I will never hurt you.Promise.
She rested her head on Arnav's shoulder.
He held her close to him.
The end
