Chapter 17
Payal & khushi reached temple. Khushi prayed for the well-being of her arnaji and also Anjali. They took the prasad and then sat on one corner. Payal knew that khushi want to talk to her and she waited for her to open up. After sometime khushi spoke to payal.
Khushi : Jiji i dnt know what happened, but u promise me that you will do all your duties as raizaada bahu. Dnt let my sacrifice go into drain jiji. I know i have hurt u a lot, u had to share ur parents & their love with me. But i could not jurt u again jiji. I was the cause for ur marriage with abhishek get cancelled. But then when i knew u also love akashji i was ready to do anything. When arnavji asked me to marry him, i was happy thinking he loved me, but then the next sentence broke me jiji. He told 6..6 months jiji. Y jiji, y always this happenes to me. NO jiji i dont want to cry any more for that ruthless man. When everybody told he is ruthless i knew it but still i could see the care in his eyes for me. but i was so sanki like buaji calls that i could not see the actual monster in him. Well all said and heard, now i want to move ahead. Stay happy jiji. Dont worry about me i will be happy since my jiji is happy. Lets leave Jiji. Its getting late.
Payal pulls her into a hug and cry thinking what khushi told. She made her decision that she will not be cold with any of the raizaadas and will not let the sacrifice which khushi made for her sake go into drain. They pulled apart and wiped thier eyes, prayed one last time to devi maiyaa. Khushi turned but then stopped and slowly removed the mangalsutra from her neck and placed it on the feet of devi maiyaa, and wiped the sindoor from her forehead. Payal, Akash & arnav were too shocked to see her doing this.
Payal : Khushi what is this khushi what are you doing.
Khushi : Jiji i am doing the right thing, this mangalsutra was tied forcefully not with love jiji. Its a burden if i carry it with me. It belongs to devi maiyaa now. It was mangalsutra to me jiji but for ASR it was just a thread with black beads, and it was sindoor for me but for him it was just red color powder. Everything is over jiji. When i was happy thinking i will be Khushi Khumari gupta singh raizaada, but the reality was i was always khushi kumari gupta and i am happy with it. Come jiji lets leave.
Khushi and payal pray again and leave the temple to buaji's house without seeing 2 people whose eyes were red.One with guilt, pain that his brother had caused and the other with love, guilt & pain for his one small mistake.
