Arshi TS: ...Yours truely :: Part 18(LAST) :: pg 153 :: 29 June - Page 81

(TOTAL 4045 WORDS)

After Arnav's confession, Arnav life is blissful. If being Choti's Chote Malik is safe and happy; being Khushi's Arnav Ji, life is happy, content, peaceful, exciting and much more. After Khushi getting discharged from hospital, Arnav took her directly to RM. He never wanted Khushi to leave him or his wife. After Khushi came back to RM, the life in RM completely changed, the members in RM got their peace back, their happiness back.

Nani tried to apologise to Khushi for not listening to her words. Khushi, for the family around them and for courtesy she faked a smile towards Nani and said okay'. But everyone knew that it's not easy to Khushi's forgiveness when it concerned about Arnav. When she can't forgive herself, how can anyone expect her to forgive others. So, they hoped that she will forgive Nani soon.

After coming back to RM, Khushi never looked back for anything. She showered all her love on Arnav and made him wet in her unconditional love. Garima and Shashi felt very happy seeing their daughter happy with her love. They thanked the God for giving her daughter what she wants.

Ratna is the happiest person. She pampered Khushi how she wanted all these years. She saw Khushi how she wanted all these years - the owner of the house, ordering everyone, including her, Aran, Arnav and everyone. She felt bad only for Nani. But she knows about her Chutki - pure golden hearted girl. Ratna knows that one day, her mother will get forgiveness from Khushi for hurting Arnav along with Khushi and Aman. Now, she is content and happy after all

Anjali is also happy for seeing her Choti and Chutki together in their life. She prayed the God for keeping them happy. Even though she is a little sad about her personal life, she is happy that being saved from that beast. She thanked Khushi from her heart for helping her and saving her which Khushi never accepted saying Anjali is her sister too, and she can never allow anyone to hurt her family. Anjali is glad to have Khushi in her life. Without Chutki, how can I survive in this life? She saved me many times' thought Anjali with happy tears in her eyes, seeing everyone laughed out loud with Khushi's antics and talks.

Aran, is content of having Khushi in their lives. He felt lucky to have her in his life, seeing her love towards his family. He thanked both Garima and Shashi for giving them such an Angel and making her grow up with wonderful values and unconditional love. When he about to thank Khushi for her support, she warned him saying Don't you dare to thank me and making me an outsider' she hugged Aran and said There is no need for that Bade Malik... oopss... papa. We are fine at last, that's important' she become 5 year old Chutki that time. Aran smiled and patted her head affectionately and thanked God for sending this Angel into their lives.

Aman... the most important person in everyone's life of RM - has kept himself away from the Raizada-s. Aran and Ratna went to him, pleaded him to come back for which he politely rejected. He felt upset and hurt when Khushi or Arnav came to him and ask him to come back. He expected them to ask him. He never wanted special treatment or attention from them, he wanted their love. When he heard Khushi and Arnav confess their love, he was on cloud 9. He wanted to hug both of them and congratulate. But when he remembered Arnav's words, he couldn't do that. When he remembered Khushi's words, before her attempt of suicide, about Arnav's anger and Arnav's love towards him, he felt like go and hug, kick, slap and strangle her younger brother - Arnav for his anger. But he couldn't do that too... he felt at a loss.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Khushi, who is coming to the dining table from the kitchen; Arnav, who is coming to the dining table from his room; both heard Aran saying "We requested him a lot, but he denied politely. I wish Arnav didn't say those words to him that day. They had hurt him more. Arnav's words hurt him more"

"Not only his word papa. But also your behaviour, in fact everyone's behaviour. What do you expect when one of your family members is fighting with you? Don't you expect others to support you? Don't you expect others to take your side? This is what happened with Aman Bhai. When Arnav Ji said all those horrible things, when didn't you stop him? Why didn't you support Aman Bhai? Are you seeing them with different eye? Aren't they both equal to you? Aren't they both your sons? Aren't responsible to save your son from hardships? Aren't you supposed to be his strength when he needed and when he get insulted? Will you leave Arnav Ji like this, if he is in Aman Bhai's place? No, right? Then it's clear that Arnav Ji and Aman Bhai are NOT equal for all of you. I pity him. Every time when your company is working to get a deal, he was the person who worked hard like hell along with Arnav Ji to get that deal to YOUR company. He did whatever you all asked him to do. He never questioned you for anything", she turned towards Arnav and continued "He always stood beside you, when you needed support. He always did whatever you ask him to do. He worked for you in every damn way - peon, assistant, manager, friend, brother and whatnot", she turned to everyone and continued "But what did you give him in return? An insult, soul killing insult, a heart breaking insult. What do you expect him to do now? You just go there and ask him to come home back then he will come like a shameless fellow?"

"But Chutki, Aman know how much we love him" Anjali tried to defend herself.

"That you know Di... but he doesn't. After whatever happened, how can we expect him to trust our love? How can we expect him to feel what we think when we don't show him? He is not a mind reader Di, to understand what we think and feel about him. Di... we, humans need the assurance, we need words and we need support. If we can't talk and try to clear Misunderstandings then shouldn't expect others to react"

Arnav who is listening everything his family talking, stood suddenly and held Khushi's hand and led her towards outside, not giving any importance to his family's questions.

"Aman Bhai may not be at home this hour" Khushi said after hopping the car

Arnav looked at her surprised

"I know my Arnav Ji. I know how he reacts to what"

"So, that means you are saying everything there to make me realize?"

"Yes"

"You should have said directly to me Khushi"

"You know that I can't do that. I can't point out. And in fact, whatever I said to all, is completely correct. I didn't insult anyone or I didn't accuse anyone without their mistake"

"Hmm... if he may not be at home, then where can we find him now?" Arnav asked

"Wait..." she took out her mobile from her pant pocket and dialed one number. "Suraj... Aman Bhai"

"..."

"Thank you..." she turned to Arnav and said "He is at France consulate, applying for France Visa"

"What? How dare him to leave us? I can't leave him or I won't let him leave us" with that Arnav drove his car, very fast

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Aman, who is sitting in consulate waiting for his turn of interview, jumped in his seat when someone snatches his file. He reacted fast and held his file, but stopped seeing the person.

"ASR..?"

Arnav held Aman's upper arm and dragged him outside the office towards his car. He threw Aman inside the back seat of the car and drove the car after hopping the driver seat.

Aman looked at the passenger seat to see Khushi looking at him with a blank expression

"What the hell? What are you both doing here?" Aman shouted

But, he didn't get any answer from either Arnav or Khushi

Knowing their stubbornness well, Aman kept quiet till Arnav stops the car in a secluded area. Arnav along with Khushi and Aman stepped out the car. Aman was furious now, today he got the appointment to get the France Visa, with the help of his friend and Arnav from nowhere come and spoilt that, just like that. He marched towards Arnav in anger and held him by his collar

"How dare you? What do you think of yourself Mr. Raizada?" Aman shouted

But Arnav didn't say anything.

"Today I got an appointment for the interview to get a visa with most difficulty and you come suddenly and spoiled everything? Just like that? What do you think?"

Arnav stood there not answering anything.

Irritated with Arnav's behaviour and recklessness, Aman pushed Arnav little and ran his hand in his hair. He turned back feeling defeated

"What did I do? What mistake I did? Why are you doing this to me ASR? I am trying to do what you asked me. I am trying to get lost from your lives, then why are you doing all these? What did I do?" Aman is frustrated. He banged on the car's bonnet in frustration. "I never wanted to hurt you ASR, I can never do that. I just wanted to... I just wanted to... forget it. No use now, I won't disturb you or your family anymore. Please don't disturb mine too. Just forget that we met. Good bye" saying this Aman started walk from there. Suddenly he felt someone held his hand. Feeling the delicate hold he thought it's Khushi.

"Please Khushi, let me go... I can't stand here anymore"

"I can't Aman... I can't let you go" Arnav's voice shivered with pain.

Before Aman could turn, he was hugged by Arnav tightly from his back. Aman closed his eyes in pain. He can't accept his brother like friend's hug nor he can stay calm seeing the pain in Arnav's eyes. He looked at Khushi, who stood at the other side of the car. He was surprised to see her shaking her head as asking him not to forgive Arnav. But he understood her intentions when he saw her smiling affectionately at both of them.

Aman pulled himself from the hug and turned his back

"Stop it Mr. Raizada, is it joke for you, Whenever you want, you can throw people and whenever you want you can take them back with you? Do you think people are some toys with whom you can play and later throw them out of your life? Do you think you can play with our emotions? Then you are wrong Mr. Raizada, you are totally wrong. I know what I did was wrong, but the way you reacted... sorry, I can't tolerate that." saying this Aman tried to leave from there, but Arnav stopped him, getting a nod from Khushi.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't control my anger and I will say the things which I don't mean, you know that right? Please Aman, don't do this to me. I need you in my life. You know how much I was addicted to you. You know how much I used to you. You know I can't do anything without you beside me, then how can you leave me like this Aman? Please don't go... please... don't leave me. I need you... please..." with that Arnav knelt before Aman controlling his tears.

Khushi looked at Arnav with a small smile and then looked at shocked Aman. She slowly moved to Arnav and held him and made him stand up.

"Shh..."

"Choti... Aman..."

"Sh... I know... relax..."

"Please ask him to talk with me. Please ask him to not to leave me. Please Khushi. Look, if he wants to take his anger out, then ask him to hit me, punch me and kick me, but please after all ask him to talk with me. Please Khushi... please..."

Before Khushi can say anything, Arnav was thrown and fell on the muddy floor. Both Khushi and Arnav looked at Aman, who punched Arnav very hardly. Before Arnav says anything Arnav grabbed his collar and made him stand and punched him again. But this time little less hard. He also kicked in Arnav's stomach not hurting him much. He caught Arnav's neck and pressed his hands little, making Arnav cough less

"AMAN BHAIII..." Khushi shouted gritting her teeth with lots of anger in her eyes

Hearing Khushi's shout Aman jumped Arnav's backside and held him tightly by the shoulders.

"Khushi, stop right there. You couldn't come near me and beat me. He only said I can hit him or punch him or kick him, if I want to. Yes, I wanted to kick him hardly. And I also want to strangle him for saying those words to me. You don't dare to come near me" Aman shouted, making both Khushi and Arnav surprised seeing him like that

"What?" whispered Khushi utterly confused

"I know, you will beat me for punching him and hurt him. But, he only said I can punch him or hurt him. You can't beat me now, you respect his words right? He only gave me the permission or chance or whatever hell it is. So, you can't beat me" tension is clear in Aman's face and tone.

"What?" Khushi looked at Aman and Arnav unbelievingly

Seeing Aman and Khushi's faces Arnav burst into loud laughter.

"Here, I'm tensed like hell seeing your guard and you are laughing?" with that Aman punched Arnav again. Unintentionally the effect is hard making Arnav's lips tear up and stumble.

The trio stood there shocked with the sudden HARD punch. Khushi started to breath rapidly looking at Aman and Arnav. Aman looked at Khushi with tension clearly visible in his eyes. He ducked when he saw Khushi pouncing on him. But he didn't feel her. He looked above to see Arnav is holding Khushi by her waist and stopping her. He thanked Arnav from his heart

"Khushi stop... he didn't hurt me. It is not intentional. Stop it... relax..."

"How dare you? How dare you..." Arnav's words didn't enter her mind. Her only target is Aman, who had hurt Arnav.

"CHOTIII" shouted Arnav making Khushi come to her senses. She is breathing really hard, her face is red with anger. Arnav held her tightly not allowing her to pounce on Aman. Aman gulped hard seeing her angry face again from so near. He slowly went to the car and brought the water bottle and forwarded towards her. Khushi looked at him and took the water bottle and emptied it. She felt her head is spinning. She held Arnav tightly bending her head down

Both Aman and Arnav got alerted seeing her like that.

"Khushi are you okay? What's wrong?" Aman held her shoulder and asked

"I'm fine... it's just... I didn't' take my food today. It's my sugar levels, don't worry, I will be fine..." she said panting. Both Aman and Arnav took her to the car and made her sit in the back seat. When they closed the door, they both came face to face with each other. Arnav looked at Aman with guilt in his face.

"Aman..." before he continues his words, Aman hugged Arnav and patted his back

"Chup... this face won't suit the image of THE ASR"

Arnav also hugged him tight and apologized again "I'm sorry Aman, I didn't mean what I said. I'm really sorry... please don't leave, come back to OUR home. Please... I need you... I need you in all situations. You are my best friend Aman. I know a simple sorry never enough for what I have said. Please... Aman... punish me, but please don't leave me"

"Shh... relax... from when Arnav Singh Raizada became a senti?" Aman tried to lighten the situation. Arnav looked at him "relax ASR... I'm fine... don't worry, I will come with you"

"Arnav"

"What?"

"It's not ASR, it's Arnav... please..."

"Hahahah... okay, okay... Arnav... come, let's go, I think Khushi need food now"

When they both looked at Khushi, she already dozed off with her low sugar levels. Both Aman and Arnav hopped the car and zoomed off towards RM

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

People in RM are more than happy seeing their sons in the house together. Khushi woke up when they reached RM, she entered the house with the help of Aman and Arnav. They both led her towards the dining table and made her eat. After having food, Khushi went to her room to take rest, leaving everyone in the hall letting them to enjoy their emotional family time.

After that day, everyone lived their life happily. Arnav started attending anger management classes along with Khushi. Aran made a will dividing his wealth in four parts and sharing them between Anjali, Arnav, Aman and Khushi. He doesn't what anyone to feel left out. After whatever happened between Arnav and Aman, he don't want that to happen again. But he didn't reveal this to his family.

Arnav arranged an admission for Khushi, in a best law college and helped her to complete her degree. After their confession in the hospital, they filed a case on Dhruv Raizada with the help of Mr. Ram, the police commissioner. The lawyer, who was suggested by Mr. Ram, dragged the case till Khushi finished her degree. As Khushi knew all the sections and all, the management of the college allowed her to write the final exams in special consideration.

After completing her graduation, Khushi worked as assistant to the Lawyer who arguing the Dhruv and Shyam's case.

And today is the final hearing of the case. Everyone sat in the court hall. Silence is ruling the people. Khushi looked at Arnav and gave him a confident smile. Seeing that smile, Arnav and family got relaxed. She may not be an experienced lawyer in academic terms, but she is more experienced than the academic ones and enough experienced to get the victory. She looked at Dhruv Raizada and Shyam Manohar Jha, who stood in the witness box. She looked at the judge who is writing something in his records

"So... as per the FIR submitted to me and some evidence given to me, it shows the accused persons are guilty. Any arguments from defence side for the last time?" commanded the judge

"Yes, your honour. I would like to question the first person, the lawyer herself Ms. Khushi Gupta" said defence lawyer, who is arguing for Shyam and Dhruv

"Finished... this damn defence lawyer ended this case, calling Chutki" murmured Dhruv Raizada with Shyam

That's all I want, bad move Mr. defence' thought Khushi with a bright smile and looked at worried Arnav and then Garima

When Khushi stood in the witness box, the attender took oath from her to say the truth. She wished the judge and then the defence lawyer and remaining lawyers as a formality

"Namaste"

"Namaste Ms. Khushi Gupta, I want to ask you some questions about your past life and present life"

"I promise, I will cooperate with this case and will answer every question of yours"

"Thank you... Can you tell, how do you know my clients?"

"I worked for Dhruv Raizada for 13 years"

"What's your age now?"

"20"

"That means you are working for him when you are at 7?"

"Yes, Act 1986 - child labour"

"So, he tortured you?"

"NO, he didn't. But he made me work with goons"

"Why didn't you go to then police when he made you work with goons?"

"I'm SEVEN years old that time"

"Oh, okay..., May be being a kid you are scared that time. But why didn't you go when you became big, I mean when you were 15 years or when you became major?"

"He didn't allow me to see the world" with that Khushi told everything how Dhruv made her stay closed. How he made her learn the law to help his lawyers. How he tried to hurt Raizada family, how he send Shyam to trap Raizada's daughter and how he tried to hurt Mr. Raizada and Mr. ASR. She said everything and the prosecutor (the Lawyer, who is working against Dhruv and Shyam and the lawyer who was appointed by the commissioner) gave all the evidence, which Khushi collected when she is working with Dhruv. Dhruv closed his eyes in defeat. He knew about his Chutki, if she works on something that will be perfect, there won't be any loopholes in that. He sighed. He looked at Khushi, who looked at him with blank eyes. He thought he can use her brains showering some fatherly love on her. But he failed to notice her respect and unconditional love towards Arnav and his family. If he would have noticed, he wouldn't try to use her. He looked at Khushi, who is still looking at him. Unable to meet her eyes, he looked away.

After hearing the arguments from the day one, and noticing the evidence, the judge announced his judgement

"After hearing the arguments and counting on the given evidence, this court is believing that Mr. Dhruv Raizada and Shyam Manohar Jha are guilty. So, considering their deeds, they should be punished for lifetime imprisonment under IPC (Indian Penal Code) sections 300 (Murder), 319 (Hurting), 351 (Assault), 359 (kidnapping), 362 (abduction), 375 (Rape). Here is the court order" Judge gave the stamp on the judgement papers.

After the judgement announced, Raizada-s along with Khushi's family left the court after thanking the prosecuting lawyer and Mr. Ram - police commissioner. When they came to the parking lot, both Aman and Arnav hugged Khushi for her victory, making her laugh out loud. After that small celebration, they directly went to the temple to thank god for their victory.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"What next?" asked Aran

"What else?" asked Ratna

"The marriage of Choti and Chote" Anjali shouted along with Aman.

Everyone cheered up with the news. Both Khushi and Arnav looked at each other with a smile on their faces and longing in their eyes. Arnav held Khushi's hand in his and whispered to Khushi making her blush "Get ready for the future Ms. Khushi, you escaped a lot till now, not anymore. I'm not going to leave you for anything or I'm not letting you to escape from ANYTHING" Khushi blushed hard and ran from there making everyone laugh out loud. Arnav followed Khushi without giving any heed to others

When he entered into Khushi's room, he couldn't find her. But he knew, where she will be. So, he ran towards the terrace and climbed the ladder to the rooftop and looked around to find Khushi sitting next to the water tank. He slowly walked towards her and sat next to her

"Blushing and escaping, are we?" Arnav teased

Khushi couldn't look at him, so she hid her face in her palms. Arnav held her waist and pulled her on his lap as he does every night when they meet after everyone slept.

"Look at me", he whispered

Khushi shook her head. Smiling at her shyness, Arnav held her palms and removed from her face. But Khushi hid her face in his crook of neck.

Arnav hugged Khushi tightly, feeling her warmth.

He slowly lifts her face with his finger under her chin and looked into her eyes. His eyes travelled from Khushi's eyes to lips, letting her know what he wants. She closed her eyes in accordance and bent her head backwards in the process of making easy for Arnav.

Seeing her acceptance, Arnav's heart swelled with love and happiness. He sealed their future with a passionate kiss. The kiss was understanding, relaxing, promising and passionate. Both kissed each other for long good minutes. They broke the kiss in the need of the air. Arnav rested his forehead on her and whispered

"I love you..."

"I love you too..." Khushi whispered back

"Always..." Arnav said

"Yours..." Khushi closed her eyes

"Yours..." Arnav repeated

"Truly..." Khushi completed.
