After 2 months,
Her marriage with Anant was celebrated with great pomp but her heart couldn't help but break at every second of her married life with the taunts of the society. The whole of Aryavrat(India) knew of hers and Arnav's marriage and her marriage with Anant just made her a victim of pain in her first love and the innumerable taunts of the society.
Mere Haath Mein Tera Haath Ho Saari Jannatein Mere Saath Ho
Tu Jo Paas Ho Phir Kya Yeh Jahaan Tere Pyar Mein Ho Jaaun Fanaa
There was a certain emptiness in her heart after the marriage. She would have happy and complete even if the whole universe was against her, if Arnav was with her, to support her in every stage of her life, but now it seemed that it would just remain to be a dream as distances seemed to have fallen in love with them and romances seemed to hate them now.
How she wished that her friend, her savior Nand Kishore was here. He was the one who convinced her father that she, Khushi was not the one responsible for her mother's death at her birth and can definitely not be hated for it.
Khushi's father who immensely loved his wife, couldn't bear the loss and the pain had convinced him to hold Khushi as the culprit but Kishore's words made him realize that his wife, with all her love would have wanted Khushi to survive rather than her.
" Thinking about me, Sakhi?" came a voice from behind, which startled Khushi, who was looking out of the window of her chamber.
" Nandu??" came out a whisper from Khushi's lips as she turned to glance upon the owner of the voice.
Though by relation Kishore and Khushi would have been cousins, owing to the fact that their mothers were cousins, Khushi and Kishore treated each other as friends more than siblings.
Khushi ran into her dear friend's arms in the hope of solace, which she finally got in his arms.
" How could you do this to me, Nandu? You wanted me to marry your friend right? You wanted so much of pain for me?" questioned Khushi, while banging her fists into Kishore's chest while he took all her beatings with a smile.
" What can I do, Sakhi? The destiny wanted to play this game with both of you and who is above destiny to change it?" asked Kishore with a enchanting smile on his face as Khushi pulled out of the embrace.
" If that is the case then I will change it Nandu, by ending the journey of this body as my life had left my body the minute Anant touched me." said Khushi, with disgusted emotions on her face as fiery tears flowed from her eyes. She had never opened up on this to anyone till date except to him.
After all who had the time to listen to her, everyone was just so busy with their own lives and they had their own wishlist to be fulfilled by Khushi.
" So you don't want to let the sign of your love enter this world, Khushi?" asked Nand Kishore,lovingly while it left Khushi shocked.
Sign of love?
That means that she is pregnant with Arnav's child, due to their forgotten wedding night while they were travelling?
" Are you sure of what you are saying, Nandu?" asked Khushi, while tears of joy mingled with the sighs of pains emanating from her heart.
" As sure as your love for my friend, Arnav and his love for you, Khushi." He assured her while Khushi wasted no time to run to the father of her child, after all that is the only relation they had with each other now.

Arnav's Chamber
Tere Dil Mein Meri Saanson Ko Panaah Mil Jaaye
Tere Ishq Mein Meri Jaan Fanaa Ho Jaaye
Jitne Paas Hain Khushbu Saans Ke
Jitne Paas Hothon Ke Sargam
Jaise Saath Hain Karvat Yaad Ke
Jaise Saath Baahon Ke Sangam
Jitne Paas Paas Khwaabon Ke Nazar
Utni Paas Tu Rehna Humsafar
Arnav was the most invincible warrior, Aryavrat had ever seen. He might have been the one without a second in the field of battles and bravery but when it came to love, he was loser; he was a person who had let his wife go away from him to become the life of someone else.
He had made his love go away so far from him that even the fragrance of the one who was famed to use perfumes that smell for more than 2 miles, couldn't reach him.
He made his love so distanced from him that his lips would never sing a rhythm of love in his life.
He had become so far from his beloved that his arms couldn't even touch her shadows and even her vision was limited only to his dreams of the day and the memories haunting him in the sleepless nights of his.
He could have obtained the control over his sleep but his heart had fallen to sleep the minute he saw his wife's partition getting filled with vermilion of a name other than that of him.
His painful reverie of thoughts was broken when he heard the tinkling of the anklets and footsteps hurriedly approaching him. His heart seemed to awake from its sleep as his restlessness grew.
Soon Khushi appeared in front of him and stood staring at him with love filled eyes as she panted due to her running. That one stare of hers was more than enough to bring the deep feelings of Arnav's heart which were in dormant state to wake up and have their effect on him.
Arnav stood up from his seat as Khushi still looked at him with the same intensity from her sharp eyes, misted with tears but there was a glint of ecstasy which he couldn't miss.
I wish I was the reason behind the ecstatic glint in her eyes, thought Arnav while his eyes showered the flowers of love, sans the thorns this time.
Much to Arnav's shock, Khushi ran into Arnav's arms and whispered in a low yet ecstatic voice,
" I am pregnant with our child, Arnav."
Though puzzled at her words, Arnav couldn't stop the warmth of his heart spreading throughout his body. Was this feeling even for real?
One night of their love and they can cherish the symbol of it throughout their life, where can see only darkness. Pain seemed to be the only emotion till then, but this news of Khushi had turned even the pain pleasurable. One sign of their love was more than enough for them, if not the whole of each other, because true love doesn't just mean being with each other, it means being for each other, always.
