"What are you saying Khushi? You have to move on my child. You can't spend your whole life crying."
"Ya, like you have moved on."
"Don't compare yourself with me Khushi.I have lived my life.I am old but you are just 26 .You have your whole life ahead.Move on."
"I dont want to move on Mom.I dont want to.I still love Arnav and will love him forever.I want to live with you, with his memories.I dont want to get married."
" What do you think Khushi? Why I am doing this? Arnav was my son, my blood.You know when he told me that he loves you and wants to marry you, I was on cloud nine. Do you think that I am marrying away my son's love, his bride for my pleasure? I remember the love in his eyes that I have seen for you.You know how his eyes shone away when ever you laughed? I am doing this for both of you my child.For his happiness, f8or your better future. Now get ready. I am going downstairs to look after the arrangements."with that Arnav's mom left Khushi alone to cry over her fate.
"Why Devi Maiya?Why?"
*Dhak- Dhak-Dhak-Dhak*
"Arnav"
"Khushi" after listening her name in that husky tone again after ages, happy tears started flowing from Khushi's eyes she looked behind her and got the shock of her life.Her lifeline is standing in front of her looking devishly handsome.Without wasting a second more Khushi ran away into Arnav's arms and cried her heart out.
"You are back Arnav! You are back."
"I love you Arnav.I love you."
"I love you too khush.I love you a lot."
"I will never let you go again Arnav.Never again."
"I have to go back khushi.I have to ."
"Why?"
"I have to."
"You dont want to live with me."
"If I would have been given a chance then I would have never left you khush."
"Then dont go na.And if you cant live with me then take me with you."
"Shhh...Listen to me khush. Listen to me.You are going to get married today.I want to see you getting married."
"But Ar-"
"Dont argue Khush.If you love me na than get married to him.He loves you.He will keep you happy.Your Devi Maiya has shown you a way to live happily again.Marry him and forget me.We were not meant to be.I am the brightest star in the sky looking at you.We will meet in next life .I love you.Bye."
"Arnav! Arnav!"but Arnav was gone yet again.
"You were right Arnav Devi Maiya has shown me a way to live happily or should I say die happily."with that Khushi wiped away her tears.

1 MONTH LATER...
"You both are very bad.You both left me alone.Firstly Arnav then Khushi.I hate you both." said Arnav's mom crying looking at the two most shining stars in the night sky.It has been one month since Khushi has commited suicide by jumping off the terrace.
"Ma! come have your dinner."
"Coming Akash."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
UP IN THE HEAVENS...
"You are so stubborn Khush.You followed me here also na."
"Shut up. You know na how impatient I am.How could I have waited till the next life?You have already scolded me alot.Now shut up and say I love you."
"Pagal"
"I love you too."
