Arnav: Khushi please don't be upset. Don't loose hopes.
He caressed her hair to console her.
Khushi: Answer me Arnavji..I want to be sure.
Arnav sighed.
Arnav(cupped her face): Khushi, you know right, we are trying. Now stop crying.
Arnav hated her tears. Poor Khushi. He wiped her tears with his thumb and kissed her forehead.
Khushi: How did I end up here?
Arnav: You were intoxicated and you blasted on Di yesterday and fainted.
Khushi gasped.
Khushi: Did I..Did I create a scene?
Arnav: Relax Khushi. DI NEEDED IT!!!! But how were you intoxicated? Did you drnk anything wrong?
Khushi: No Arnavji..erm..yeah I drank juice which was given by hp.
Arnav started wondering.
Who might have mixed alcohol?
Khushi: What did others think of me? I am sorry Arnavji, I didn't want to create a scene.
Arnav(hugged her closer): Hey don't be sorry. All the guests had gone. And DI needed this blastings from you Khushi. She has ruined our life.
He kept consoling her for almost half an hour.
*********
All of them eagerly looked at the closed door.
Nani: Why haven't they come out yet?
Mami: I hopewa phatii saree is alrightwa.
Nk: Poor Khushiji, she had to undergo so much yesterday.
Sanchi: You are right, its all because of me.
Sanchi said faking moist eyes.
Its all because of you, thought Anjali, who was secretly listening to their conversation from the kitchen.
Akash: Sanchi don't blame yourself. We all know that even your life is spoilt. Its Di's mistake.
Anjali's heart pierced when all were accusing her. She lost her family today, because of Sanchi.
They hate me a lot.
Today she had no one to support her. She suffered everything alone.
I am sorry Khushiji, but I was forced.
Anjali wiped her tears and fled back to her room.
They saw the door open. Arnav came out with Khushi, holding his arm.
All sighed. They got down the stairs.
Khushi: I am sorry naniji, I didn't mean to create any scene yesterday.
Khushi lowered her eyes.
Nani: its ok Khushi bitiya, u didn't create a scene. You just told the truth.
Nani caressed her hair.
Mami: Come have breakfastwa.
Khushi looked at the methi parathas. It was her hatest food. Sanchi had prepared it. Khushi didn't like that.
Khushi: I am not hungry.
Khushi looked dull.
Mami(to Sanchi): You could have made something else. Khushi doesn't eat this.
Khushi: Its ok Mamiji.
Arnav: Atleast eat bread.
Arnav(to hp): get 2 slice of bread for Khushi
He agreed
AFTER BREAKFAST,
Khushi: Arnavji will u take me to temple ?
She asked hopefully.
Arnav agreed.
***********
In the car,
Khushi was all silent. She didn't utter a word. She was very upset with Anjali. She was looking outside. He could feel her sadness.
Arnav: Will u listen to music?
Khushi: No
She denied.
Arnav: speak something Khushi
Khushi: I am not in a mood Arnavji.
Arnav: You still upset?
Khushi didn't reply anything.
Arnav just looked at her and sighed.
*************
Khushi and Arnav returned very late to home. It was almost 2.30pm in the noon. Mami was snoring on the sofa. Nk was reading a magazine. Mamaji was watching tv. Nani was resting in her room.
Nk: Nannav Khushiji you came? Why were you so late?
Arnav glared at Nk.
Arnav: Why are you asking like a police? You shouldn't mind for wherever we go.
Khushi: ARNAVJI!!! Be little kind. Nanheji there was traffic jam so we were late.
Khushi glared at Arnav for talking rudely with Nk.
Nk: Khushiji come have lunch.
Khushi: I am not hungry.
Khushi directly went to her room with a sad face without looking at anyone.
Mamaji, Arnav and Nk glanced at each other.
Mamaji: Maybe bitiya is too upset. Arnav bitua, you talk with her.
Arnav: No Mama, lets leave her alone for some time. Lets give her some space.
Mama agreed.
*************
Khushi walked from here and there and then again turned back and looked at the door. Again she peeped at the door and looked at the time. It was midnight 2.00 am. She accidently stepped on a fallen book, and was about to fall down but Arnav caught her. He made her stand properly.
Arnav(angrily): What are you doing? Now stand straight and don't move an inch.
Khushi scanned at the surrounding. It was the old store room with full of dust.
Arnav took out his mobile and saw a message.
Arnav: Open the door.
Khushi obeyed him. As soon as she opened the door, the other person came in. Arshi smiled.
Khushi: She didn't get a doubt right?
Anjali looked at Arnav and Khushi.
Anjali: No, she is sleeping.
Anjali hugged Khushi, who inturn hugged her.
Anjali: Why did you come so late today noon?
Arnav narrated what had happened.
Flashback
Arnav: Khushi speak something
Khushi: I am not in a mood.
Arnav: Now no one is here, atleast now u speak.
Khushi: Arnavji don't make me waste my energy. You know how hungry I am. I didn't eat anything since past 15 hours. You can imagine my condition. And you Mr Arnav Singh Raizada!!! 2 slice??Only 2 slices of bread? Couldn't you ask hp to make something else for me? And that Sanchi ki bachhi!! Purposely made methi ka paratha. From tomorrow right, everyday I will make poha.(Poha was Sanchi's hatest food)
Arnav burst out laughing.
Khushi: Don't laugh, Mr Raizada.
Arnav: Look your temple has come.
Khushi looked at Mc Donald's and a smile appeared on her lips.
Flashback ends.
Arnav: Don't ask me Di!! She ate 7 burgers, drank 2 mugs of coffee, 1 mirinda and 2 full plates of French fries. The people over there were staring at me as if I am a thief.
Khushi: What could I do? I was hungry.
Khushi made a puppy face.
Di: Chotey stop complaining. See its your duty to take care of her. Afterall she is two months pregnant.
Anjali caressed her face.
Khushi was 2 months pregnant, but she hid the fact from everyone because she didn't want Sanchi to be alert. Everything from the beginning was a master plan by Anjali, Khushi and Arnav.
Khushi: But I cant share this news with my family.
Arnav: 9 days Khushi..just nine days. Now lets talk about the point. So Sanchi thinks that she is very sharp, but she is actually a fool. What does she know? Everything, from the day she entered our life, was a plan. Khushi and Di's cold war, Di going against us, me quarreling with di, Khushi being upset and her pain was all a plan.
All the three smiled.
Khushi: But she thinks that she has ruined my life and I am a poor girl now, who has failed in her life, failed to be a mother.
Anjali: And she is wrong. Everything is going according to her plan. And it will continue till the end, but there will be a small change in climax. She will lose and we will win.
Arnav: Aman has told me about Sanchi's past 5 years life story. Sanchi is from Kolkata, Sanchi Das. She is not Shyam's own sister or cousin. She is not related to him.
Anjali and Khushi: WHAT??
Arnav: In 2010, Sanchi had married a person called Ganesh who was 15 years older than her. He used to drink and beat her everyday. He once harassed her and abused her. She filed for a divorce and a harassment case. And her lawyer was SHYAM. He helped her win the case even though she had very few chances, because her husband was a rich person. He had bribed everyone but still Shyam gave her justice. So she considers Shyam as her brother. In 2013 she married Shantanu, Shyam's younger brother. And now both of them want revenge.
Both were shocked.
Anjali: SO the baby is Shantanu's?
Arnav nodded in a yes.
Khushi: So this is her third marriage?
Arnav: Khushi!! We have not married. Remember, Mine and Sanchi's marriage was FAKE!! It wasn't a real court, real register or a real judge. It was a FAKE COURT MARRIAGE. I pity Sanchi who still thinks that we are married.
Anjali smirked.
Khushi: But why is she taking so much of revenge for someone who is not even her blood relation?
Anjali: Maybe Shyam really helped her a lot.
Arnav: I don't know much. We have to find about her past, her childhood, only then we will know.
