Arshi SS : Shattered Soul chap 13: Pg 21 - Page 7

Chapter 8 :

Arnav entered buaji's room and he saw khushi sitting quietly beside her dad. He went and greeted them, khushi didn't bother to look at him.

Arnav: Aunty how is buaji now? What did the doctors say?

Garima : She is fine bituwa. How is anjali?

Arnav :She is fine. She has to be fine.

Khushi : Obviously your Di has to be fine afterall you are Arnav singh raizaada and you write your own destiny. Your power and money speaks a lot than you. Anyway i can take care of my family and i don't need your concern or money. I am not a gold digger like your so called Jeejaji.

Garima : Khushi is this the way to speak to daamadji.

Khushi : Oh amma he is just your daamad for 6 months. Anyway now that your daamad is here you wont be needing me here. Take care baabuji. I have to go somewhere will come later.

Arnav: Khushi wait. i will drop you? Where are you going?

Arnav: No thank you Mr raizaada. I have my friend to help me. You are needed here.

She moves out and meets NK. Arnav sees this and tries to talk to her but she ignores him and moves out of the hospital. All were shocked. They thought that once when truth is out khushi will accept arnav and forgive him but things were going out of hands. Naani thought she should speak to arnav and khushi.

NK and khushi meet rahul in his hotel. He wanted to discuss with the food that needs to be prepared for wedding. They discuss variety of food and finally make a list. Khushi plans to meet the bride's parents to discuss the lunch list. She tells them the list and all were happy with it. She calls rahul and tells the same. Rahul gives a green signal and khushi tells that she will be on time for preparation. She then asks NK to drop her in RM as she was tired. NK drops her in RM and goes to hospital.

Anjali gains conscious and all are worried about her health. She knew she lost her baby, she was sad but then she was happy that she lost her baby which was a part of her fake husband who married her just for money and had his eyes on khushi. She looked at everybody, all were silently crying for her.

Anjali : Naani, Maami, Maamaji please dont be sad. Infact i should have seen this. I was so blind that i dint see this coming. And you chotte how could you. I told you dont do anything in your anger because of which you will regret later. What have you done chotte.

Arnav: Di i did that only to save your life and marriage.

Anjali(in angry) : See how well you have saved my marriage arnav. U have not only spoilt an innocent life but also broken her dreams. I will never forgive you for this. I am not Ma arnav. I am not so weak like her to do something stupid without thinking of her children. I would have been happy with my rajkumari, but thanks to you. I lost it.U hurt an innocent soul and god took my rajkumari away from me. Thank a lot Arnav Singh Raizaada. U proved your Arvind Malik son and not Ratna Raizaada's son.

All were shocked to hear anjali speaking like this. Arnav was more shattered. Just then NK entered the room. He had heard all the conversation. Even though he was angry with Nannav he knew how much he loved Di and also knew he could go to any extent for her. He knew he would be shattered by Di's words. He came and stood next to Arnav.

NK : Di please relax. It was Nannav's mistake i agree but then he is your chotte di. Ur chotte who could do anything just to see you smile. He the great ASR who dont believe in any god, puja or rituals, used to join you just for ur smile. How could you speak like this Di.

Arnav was shocked to see always nuisance creator NK support him. How many times he had cursed him under his breathe yet he stood with khushi and with him. He got up to move out of the room when he was stopped by a soft voice of anjali

Anjali " Paapad ka tukhda hai, jab dekho ukhda hai. Detha hai apne di ko asoon mote mote, woh hai gussey wala hamara chote.

Arnav turned and hugged his di crying his heart content. It was the 3rd time the great arnav singh raizaada was crying. First was when he lost his mother, 2nd time when he thought khushi cheated him and now.

Arnav : I am sorry Di, please mujhe maaf kardo. Toffee se meethi hai, Chooran se khatti hain, Khatti meethi hai teri kahani, Anjali di hai sabse sayani...

All were happy to see this bond between the siblings. Arnav told them to go home and take rest. NK pushed arnav out of the room saying that he wants to spend sometime with Di.

NK : Dont worry nannav mere bhai i will look after the apple of your eyes. I wont bore Di. I will sure she sleeps well.

After a lot of argument finally arnav decided to go home and take rest.

Chapter 9 :

Soon Naani, Maami, Arnav. Reached home after meeting Buaji. Akash dropped Garima & baabuji to GH and he told payal & he would stay at hospital. All agreed. Arnav entered his room and saw khushi sitting on the bed cross-legged and writing something in a notebook. The moment she heard the door click she lifted her eyes to see who came and then she saw arnav. They had a short eye-lock. Khushi broke the eye-lock and concentrated on what she was doing. Arnav just saw her and went to freshen up.

Khushi came out of her room and met naani, maami & maama in the living room. She did enquire about buaji and anjali. She was informed that payal & akash would be staying there in hospital and NK is with anjali. Soon all went to freshen up and khushi went to see the dinner preparations. All came after getting fresh for dinner. HP served the dinner. All had dinner silently and retired to their respective rooms. Khushi was still in kitchen helping HP. Arnav was waiting for her in the hall. Khushi saw him sitting in hall waiting for her. She was initially surprised but then she was not ready to get into another argument after tiring day plus she had lots of work to do tomorrow. Though she was tired and needed rest, she thought she will prolong her stay in kitchen so that he will get irritated and move to the room but no he was Mr. Arnav Singh Raizaada, 10 bulls rolled into one. Arnav knew she was purposely delaying and finally his patience snapped and he went to kitchen.

Arnav : Khushi enough now HP can handle it come with me i want to speak to you.

Khushi & HP jumped out of their skins hearing this voice. HP could clearly see irritation & anger in arnav's eyes.

HP : Ha Khushi bhabhi you go anyway work is done and its getting late. Good night bhabhi.

HP made a run for his life before he could get fired from arnav. Khushi looked at him and moved past him to their room with arnav following her controlling his anger. Once inside their room arnav waited for her to come out from bathroom.

Khushi came out and she saw arnav pacing the room like a caged lion. She imagined him in a cage and pacing like this and she giggled. Hearing this arnav turned to see her smiling seeing him. He raised his eyebrow asking what is making her laugh. She was snapped out of the imagination seeing arnav arch his eyebrow and knew he had caught her red-handed. Slowly she made her way toward the bed. Arnav was quick and caught hold of her wrist and pulled her towards him. She came crashing into his hard chest.

Arnav(gritting his teeth): Khushi i said i want to speak to you dammit. Cant you see i am trying to speak to you and how dare you ignore me?

Khushi(struggling to free herself) : What is there to speak Mr. Raizaada. I dont see anything or any topic on which we should speak.

Arnav(pulling her more closely): Stop struggling khushi. Listen i want to i want to say..I want to know i mean...

Khushi : Are you trying to say sorry? Do you want to know what i doing regarding where i go with Nanheji? Or are you again accusing me for going out with nanheji after your so called Shyam-Jeejaji.

Aranv: ENOUGH. How dare you think like this khushi.

Khushi : Are you were the person who thought i was having an affair with your jeejaji and married me for 6 months. And knowing mine & nanheji's friendship i am sure your brain will start working the same way as it worked last time. But one difference is i will not be bothered to any of your accusations like how it bothered me last time. I dont care what you think about me trusting Nanheji. All i know is he is a good person and my only friend who supported me when i was in need of a friend. So save your thoughts for yourself. Abd regarding my job its none of your business. As you said, i will be your wife to the outside world & i will not mean anything to you inside this room. But now since the truth is out i dont need to pretend to be a good, caring wife infront of your or my family members. Anyways good night Mr.Raizada. I have lots of work tomorrow.

Saying this she freed her hand and moved to her side of the bed and slept peacefully leaving a shocked arnav.
