Khushi Kumari Gupta was getting ready for her college. She was 18 years old. She was very sweet, friendly and beautiful. She loved challenging people.
She was wearing blue top with black jean. She ran for her college without having her breakfast because she was already late. Her bike wasn't working. She was worried, she hated to be late in her class, because people would have a reason to laugh on this 'layak', 'intelligent' student, yep she was a very intelligent student, the favorite of her teachers.
She was trying to stop a taxi but failed. She started to walk suddenly she bumped into a strong man. She fell on the floor in the mud, her blue top became brown.
The boy proposed his hand to her, she hold his hand and stood up. The man was Arnav Singh Raizada, He gave a tissue paper to Khushi. She took it and threw back on his face.
" I don't need your help! " Khushi said in anger.
" How dare you throw it on my face? " Arnav said in anger.
" How dare you bump into me? " Khushi said.
" It was not my fault! You were lost somewhere. Watch around you before walking " He said.
" Manerless! How dare you to teach me things even when you don't know it? It was your fault not mine! " Khushi said in anger. She looked on her top which was completely ruined.
" You don't know who am I? Respect me! And don't make any drama in front of people " Arnav said in a arrogant way.
" I'm not doing drama, you are doing drama! " Khushi replied.
Arnav was frustrated of her blabbering so he took her in an alley, where nobody was, they were hidden. Now Khushi was scared of him.
" What are you doing? Leave me! " She said.
" Now shut your mouth! Listen to me carefully, I'm Arnav Singh Raizada and never try again to talk to me like this orbehave like this. " Arnav threatened her. Khushi has heard this name so many time before, Arnav Singh Raizada the famous businessman.
Arnav took 100 rupees from his pocket and threw on her face. He said arrogantly " this 100 rupees are not for your top but is to shut your mouth. According to me you are very cheap, even this 100 rupees are so much for you. "
Khushi was shocked and hurt, without wasting a second she slapped him. Arnav was angry and was shocked also because Khushi was the 1st one who dared to slap him. Khushi put the 100 rupees in his hand.
She smirked " Take this 100 rupees! It will remind you how I slapped you and why Mr.Arnav Singh Raizada! and if you are the famous ASR, the known businessman then I'm Khushi Kumari Gupta, a middle class girl, not rich but who is honest, who knows the values of life and a well educated girl, who know to protect herself and she is a challenging girl So don't ever try to show me money " She said with full confidence.
Khushi pushed him away from her and ran away from him. Arnav was in anger and was thinking how someone can slap him. He was shocked. He couldn't believe what just happened right now.
* * *
It was night, Khushi was in her room. Her sister Payal was in washroom. Khushi was sitting on her bed and was thinking how Arnav insulted her, she was feeling hurt, he was the 1st guy who talked to her like that and who came so close to her. Khushi was respected everywhere but then how today someone insulted her? ' I hate him ' She said in her mind.
Her window was opened. Someone entered in her room. Khushi heard the noise and she thought that it was a thief. When she saw the person, she was shocked. Before she could say anything or do anything, he put his hand on her mouth to shut her. He was none other than Arnav.
Arnav said quietly and by blackmailing her " Today you slapped me, now you will see what are the consequences to behave like this to me! "
Khushi tried to push him away but he was so strong. Arnav pushed her away and she fell on the bed. Khushi was so scared and she got tears in her eyes. She thought that it was her last moment.
Few minutes later, He informed her " You don't need to worry, I'm not going to harm you or do anything else because you are not my taste. But it's important for you to be scared of me. And Never repeat your mistake! " Khushi was speechless as she was scared. This was the first time that someone made her quiet whereas she was a challenging girl who always fight back.
" What happened? You don't have voice anymore? Hein? Khushi Kumari Gupta, a middle class girl, not rich but who is honest, who knows the values of life and a well educated girl, who know to protect her and a challenging girl. Hunn? " He smirked evilly. Khushi was still quiet.
Khushi's sister Payal came out from the washroom and she got scared, so she screamed. Her parents ran to the room as they were worried and wondering what happened. They reached the room and were shocked to see Arnav and Khushi so close. Arnav quickly stood up and Khushi did the same. Both were feeling embarrassed. Arnav just wanted to make her scared not wanted to insult her like that.
" What is this? " Khushi's father said in an angry tone.
" How this guy came in the room? And who he is? " Her mother asked in a confused look.
" From the window! and I'm Arnav! " Arnav replied in a sweet tone. Khushi's father was getting more and more angry on this guy.
" How dare you to come into my house, then into my daughter's room? " Her father shouted on Arnav.
" Uncle! There's nothing like you are thinking. You don't need to be so hyper. " Arnav said and trying to handle the situation. But Khushi's father slapped him thinking he is a loafer.
Arnav got angry " First this girl slapped me in the day and now her father. Whats wrong with them? " He thought. This was the most insulting day of Arnav Singh Raizada.
He was angry, he couldn't control himself and so he lied to them as he wanted to take revenge " Khushi ! If your father has caught us red handed then we should accept it. Khushi and I loved each other very much. We are dating each other since long time. Each night I came here to meet my love " Khushi was just shocked as this was a big lie. Her parents got more angry.
Khushi's father slapped Khushi. Arnav smiled. Khushi's father said " Did you ever think what's going to happen when we will discover about that? You could tell us everything before instead of meeting him like this. I thought you were my nice daughter. But what you did ? what about our Honor, reputation and prestige? I just want to kill you. I don't know what to say... " Her father sat on the floor. He had tears into his eyes.
Khushi moved toward her father, she had tears too. She put her hands on her father's shoulder " Dad, He is lying! " but her father pushed her hand back. " You dad is dead for you !" He said in a sad tone. Khushi cried. Arnav was smiling.
Then Khushi stood up and went to Arnav. " What the hell is this? Why are you lying? " Khushi asked in anger.
" Com'on Jaan! You don't need to be scared anymore. I will take you to my house. Com'on let's go! " Arnav said in a sweet tone pretending to be her boyfriend.
" Just get lost from my house ! " She shouted on him.
" Fine! If you still want to hid this from your parents then as you wish. I think we should have a break up now. Good bye! " Arnav said this and went out from the door.
Khushi's father was crying and Khushi's mother as well but she was trying to console her husband. Payal was doing the same.
" What's wrong with you Dad? He was lying, don't just believe what he said and forget it! " Khushi said.
" Even my friend today said to me that he saw you with a guy, you were hiding in an alley; I just didn't believe him. But now I have seen from my eyes. Please stop making fun of your parents " Her father said.
" We just met accidentally. Why aren't you believing me? " Khushi asked.
" Khushi! We are not fool. You know the last time, when you wanted to go to London's trip, you lied to us that your friend Uzma is sick and that you will have to stay with her at hospital, we allowed you. But later we discovered that Uzma was not sick and you were gone to a trip. You were denying it but your teachers told us everything and so you had to accept it ! " Khushi's father said.
" Yes I did this for the trip because all of my friend were going but you didn't allow me! I wanted to go! It was a mistake... but this time I'm not lying! " Khushi tried to explain them.
" How it is possible that a man says bad things about you? if I'm right he is Arnav Singh Raizada, the most famous businessman. He has everything, money, houses, cars... He is respected all over the world. He is honest, he has made orphanages, hospitals and free schools. So why he would lie ? If you both were together, you should tell us! You shouldn't deny it in front of him. Even if you were scared of us, you should accept it when he was there, we would marry both of you but now he's gone! And you dad's colleague who saw you with him, he's going to tell to his wife and she will surely gossip about it. They will think that you have affairs and all. Who's going to marry you now? " Her mother said in anger. Khushi started to cry.
" You ruined our reputation!! " Her father said. She was sad.
* * *
Next day. It was night. Khushi was sitting alone in her room. She was so depressed. Nobody was believing her. She was fed up of all of this. For a moment, she thought to suicide then she said to herself " No Khushi! You can't lose! You will have to fight back! Gain your parents trust back! " She cleaned her tears.
" But for this I will have to prove myself innocent. " She thought. " I will have to think for a plan to take revenge from Arnav Singh Raizada. He will have to pay for this. "
The whole night, she did research on Arnav Singh Raizada. She watched all his interview and read each news related to him. She printed out a picture of him in a big size. He was looking handsome in pant coat. Khushi just hated him.
She looked on his photo and smirked " Get ready Mr.Raizada! I will take my revenge back. "
Next day, She made a fake Facebook account of Arnav Singh Raizada. She posted his recent photos and old photos so people would believe that it was the true one.
" I'm not sure if this plan is going to work but may be by creating a fake account, I will get some personal information on him through his friends or relatives. "
She received a lot of friend requests. " It's has been just few minutes and so many friend requests. I hope I will get something interesting on him " She accepted each requests. She closed her eyes and prayed.
Suddenly her mobile vibrated. She opened the notifications and saw a message on facebook. It was a girl named Sneha Sharma. " Hey Arnav Bro ! You on FB ? "
Khushi replied " Yes I made this account for my business work "
Then Sneha replied " Oh ok ! Bro Can I talk to you 5 min if you are available ? "
Khushi thought " She is saying bro. But Arnav has only one sister who is Anjali. This girl is surely someone very close to Arnav "
" Yes of course! " Khushi replied.
She received messages from other persons too like " ASR you are very hot. Marry me! " or " I'm your big fan " or " can we be friend? "
" This kind of people will waste my time. It's better to ignore them. But it's seem that this Sneha could be useful " Khushi thought.
She received a message from Sneha " I know bro you don't like to talk about that but if you don't mind can I talk to you about.. ? "
Khushi smirked " Something that he doesn't like. Yeah it may help me " She thought.
" Yes you can ! " Khushi replied.
" Shreya Di really loved you. " then Sneha sent an old photo of Arnav and Shreya. " See how you both looked cute together? I really miss your couple! I wish you were always together.. "
Khushi smirked and thought " Oh so Arnav and Shreya were in couple. This information isn't in news neither on net. "
" I'm sorry! I remind you the things that you don't like to talk about. But you know na.. " Sneha stopped here.
Khushi said " oh so Arnav doesn't like to talk about his relationship about Shreya. It can be helpful for me "
She printed out Arnav and Shreya's photo. " You looked cute together no doubt " She winked.
" I will delete the account before someone get to know this its a fake one. If Arnav discovered that before he will put me into jail so it's better to clean everything " Khushi quickly deleted the account.
* * *
Khushi went to Arnav's office. She asked for him to the receptionist but she said ' he is in meeting '. She waited for him to be free. Then Arnav came out from the conference hall and saw Khushi.
He moved toward her and said quietly " Hey what are you doing here ? "
" I want to talk to you " Khushi said.
" Listen! I don't have time for stupid things. Bye! " Arnav said and was about to go when Khushi added " One minute! "
" She is surely there to beg in front me. I created a big problem for her. She had been suffering for two days now I should clarify to her parents " Arnav thought.
" Even if its about Shreya? " Before Arnav could apologize she said. Arnav was shocked to heard that. His eyes were fully opened. He was like what? How?
" Ok come into my cabin! Follow me! " Arnav said. He was looking worried.
She followed Arnav to his cabin. Then Arnav sat on the boss's seat and she sat on the chair in front of him. Khushi was holding a file. " What do you know about Shreya? "
She threw the file on the desk toward Arnav. " What is that ? " He asked confusedly.
" Open it and see it ! " Khushi said with attitude.
Arnav opened the file and was shocked. It was His photo with Shreya. His eyes were red with anger and he had tears as well.
" You know for a woman her reputation is everything but you insulted me in front of my parents. " Khushi said. " Now you will have to tell to my parents that you were lying to them else this photos will be published everywhere. I don't like to do this kind of things but you forced me. "
Arnav took forcefully Khushi's arm and took her to the parking load. He made her sit in his car. The office staff was confused and quiet shocked to see that. Khushi was scared of his sudden reaction and behavior.
" Where are you taking me? " Khushi asked several times but he didn't reply and continued his driving. He was driving on full speed and so Khushi was more scared.
Arnav drove to Khushi's house. Khushi was confused and scared as well " Why we came here? "
Then Arnav came out from the car and Khushi as well. His eyes were still red with anger. He entered in Khushi's home. She followed him and wondering what's going to happen.
" Is he going to insult me again in front of my parents ? " She thought?
Khushi's parents were there sitting on the sofa. Payal was on her laptop. They quickly stopped their activities and stood up seeing Arnav.
" I'm sorry for the last time but what I said was wrong. I met Khushi for the first time just two days ago. We just had some argue and I wanted to take revenge for that so I came here to scare her but you parents came and it went wrong. I was in anger when uncle slapped me and so I lied about me and Khushi. But there is nothing between us. I'm sorry ! " Arnav said.
" Wah Khushi ! Your plan worked. Congratulation! " She said in her mind. There was a huge silence for few minutes. Then her parents realized that Khushi was innocent.
" I'm sorry Khushi! I didn't believe you. But you know na.. " Her father said.
" It's ok Dad ! It's my mistake. I shouldn't have lied to you for London's trip. Just because of my one mistake, I broke your trust on me! I deserved that! " Khushi said.
Her mother caressed her head and said " I'm sorry Khushi! I said so many things to you... But atleast you realised that lying to parents can led to serious problem so don't never lie again"
" Ok mom! The important thing is that you know the truth. I promise I will never lie to you or do something that will hurt you And please trust me forever ! " Khushi said.
Arnav was about to quit the home when Khushi's father said " Mr.Raizada! " Arnav stopped walking and turned to face him.
" You know what? Because of your act, It could have some serious effect and consequences. This time we are forgiving you but this shouldn't happen again " Khushi's father said. " this behavior doesn't suit to the built and honest person " He added.
Arnav felt guilt. He quit the house without saying a word. He walked to the car and sat in. He had tears into his eyes. He saw the file on the seat that Khushi brought to him. He took and opened it. He saw his picture with Shreya. He started to cry.
Khushi moved to close the door of her home when she saw Arnav crying. She was curious so she stepped toward him and she saw the picture. She was wondering the reason.
Arnav felt her presence and so he came out from the car. He said with teary eyes " I hate you Khushi Kumari Gupta ! " She was confused.
" I loved her so much. Shreya was a sweet and cute girl. She was my life. She... d... died... in a... accident... " He cried. Khushi was shocked to learn that. She also had tears. Khushi just came to realise what she done. She hurt him.
" It has been 5 years.. You know I don't want anyone to talk about her or to make fun of her, even when she's not in this world. I want everyone to respect her. You know I pretended to forget her, not wanted to talk about her. But I was sad.. and today you make me remind of her... " He said in a sad way.
" I'm... sorry... I didn't know... I didn't mean to hurt you... I'm sorry.. " Khushi said sadly.
Arnav hugged Khushi and cried. " No don't be sorry... I should be thankful to you. After her... death... I didn't cry... and try to... show myself... strong.. but I was... broken... but today I cried and I'm feeling like re-living... Thank you very much ! "
* *
Next day, Arnav send a proposal for a job to Khushi. She hesited for a while but then she agreed. She started working in his office.
Few months later, they became friends and started liking each others company. They understood each other. When one would be sad, the other would change his/her mood. They helped each other a lot.
Few time later, they realized that they were in love with each other so they confessed and their life changed into the most beautiful revenge.
