ArShi SS : Hamesha [PART-2]

It was close to midnight, Arnav still didn't return home while there was a big thunderstorm outside. Khushi was sitting on Sofa in Living room; crying. All this time even the sky was shedding tears just as she was doing for the past six months. Shedding tears for the man who she loved the most while he did care less to tell the reason of their sudden marriage. Her eyes had dried up by now, she was tired of crying those worthless and meaningless tears for someone who never cared.

Khushi looked at time , it's 3 in morning. Four hours passed he left the mansion after their argument. She as usual asked their reason of their sudden marriage. Like every time he had no answer. At the heat of the moment, she told him every bad thing happened to her life because of him; how she wish she had never met him and also not to see his face anymore.

she didn't mean a thing she said but the damage was already done; he left and didn't return. It was too late to realize she shouldn't have said all that.

Khushi was feeling really low and cursing herself " I wish I hadn't told him that. Hey Devi Maiyya, please let Arnavji be safe. I will never be able to forgive myself if something were to happen to him, Devi Maiyya "

She was about to dail Aman's number with the hope that may be he know something when there was an incoming call. Without wasting a second she picked up the call.

Khushi " Hello Arnav ji! Kaha hai aap ? "

Caller " Am I speaking to Mrs. Raizada? "

Khushi " Ji, aap kaun ? "

Caller " Mam, come to Life Care Hospital! Mr. Raizada is admitted here "

Khushi " Hospital... Hospital.. Wha.. What happened ? " stammering


Caller " Mr. Raizada has met with an accident "

Phone slipped from Khushi's hands and she kept standing numb recalling all the events that had happened since the first day she had met Arnav flashed in her mind ...

When he had broken her pearl dori

When he had saved her from the car in the rain

During teej when he had given her water

His first sorry to her

How he had taken care of her when she had fallen sick

Their almost kiss on Diwali

The night in her bedroom on new year

Their Teri Meri dance

When he kissed on her cheek by poolside on the Mehndi day

When he had gifted her the bangles on the day of the havan

The bindi scene on the day of the wedding

Their marriage on temple

He fed her kheer

Their holi day confession

What seemed like eternity she came out of the shock and screamed " ARNAVJIII "

Hearing her painful scream all rushed to living room and found her shaking very badly with fear ,tears coming from her eyes.

Anjali " What happened Khushiji ? " caressing

Khushi " Di ... Arnavji ... accident ... Life Care Hospital " sobbing

Hearing this all colour drained out from everyone's face.

PRECAP : Anjali " Please forgive me Khushiji " crying

PART-2

All raizada's are gathered in front of operation theatre as Arnav inside operation theatre being operated. Mama was trying to console Nani; Akash having hard time to console Mami; Payal consoling Anjali; and Shyam asusual faking his concern for Anjali. But in midst of all chaos, one person sitting on a chair alone in silence keeping her eyes at the door of operation theatre while her face showing no emotion and fear gripping her insides. After 12 year She was scared, scared to lose Arnav, HER LIFE; for the second time she feared to be become orphan once again like that fateful day. She was ready to do anything to bring him back to her safe and sound. But she was helpless; she was dependent on the doctors as doctors only can save HER LIFE, HER ARNAVJI.

For hours Khushi was fixed on the spot; not moving an inch; not even uttered a word; just kept staring blankly at OT door. Suddenly OT door opened and the doctor came out. She immediately stood up seeing him and rushed towards him following by others.

Khushi " Doctor, how is my Arnavji ? Is he okay ? " with her eyes dazzling with hope

Doctor " Sorry Mrs. Raizada. We tried our best but could not do anything. Mr Raizada has slipped to Coma "

Khushi just stepped back in shock. Doctor felt bad for the young lady.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After one year, @ AR Group,

The glass door opened; a young lady in light pink chiffon saree with pallu properly pinned not to expose much of her milky skin, her mangalsutra out and visible to everyone and her sindoor filled partition informing world she belonged to someone else; entered inside office premises. Everybody stood up in silent. She walked toward the stair and went ahead towards her cabin.

Aman went to CEO's cabin and knocked on cabin door; entered hearing the soft " Come in ". Entering he saw Khushi sitting on another chair checking emails on laptop; she never sat on ASR's chair saying only he had the right to sit on the chair of CEO.

Aman " Khushi, Akash informed me some time's before he bagged Yong's deal and will return by tonight. And you have meeting with Vibrant Group after in 20 min "

Khushi " Okay! Arrange the conference room , I will be there in a while "

The meeting was held with the higher official of AR Group with Vibrant Group; Khushi was giving the presentation standing beside the projector. All looked and heard attentively on the presentation. Aman was awe seeing Khushi giving the presentation like his best buddy cum boss Arnav Singh Raizada used to do; like people hesitated before questioning his objectives and plans same thing happened with Khushi; how she answer them with ease and explaining purposes like ASR; how she convinced everyone with her logic and everyone in the room was getting satisfied with her reasoning. Aman had noticed in this one year how this chirpy girl forgot to smile; how she turned into a hallow empty Khushi and took up Arnav's all responsibilities.

After 2 hours the meeting came to its end. The clients had agreed to go with the way Khushi had planned. All talks are done and deal was made final, only official paper work was left.

@ Raizada Mansion, around 7 p.m;

Khushi entered inside their room and saw Arnav sleeping peacefully on their bed on life support system. Nurse walked out of the room seeing her. Her eyes welled up seeing him being attached with several wires. She sat by him holding his hand and started telling him what happened in office today. She stopped when she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She turned and felt her whole body on fire in anger seeing the person who was responsible for her husband lying lifelessly on bed. The person was none other than Anjali Jha for whose selfishness she had to lead a life a widow even being her husband alive.

Khushi " What are you doing here ? "calming down her anger

Anjali " Please forgive me Khushiji " crying

Khushi " I told you before many times and now also telling when he'll be alright, I'll forgive you Mrs. Jha "

Anjali took a few steps back. She turned around and came out the room with tears rolled down her cheeks.

Nani's lips trembled as tears rolled down her cheeks seeing Anjali came out Khushi's room with tears. Mami placed a hand on her shoulder.

Nani turned around and gulped "Manorama, I just ... I can't believe that Anjali bitiya! How could she Manorama ? "

Mami threw her arms around Nani; they burst into tears. They could not believe their porcelain doll like daughter Anjali what done in her selfishness for which their Chote and Khushi Bitiya had to pay the price.

Flashback

After one week of Arnav gone to coma, Aman along with inspector came to Raizada Mansion.

Inspector " The truck driver who was hired to kill ASR is now in our custody. He took Mr. Jha's name. We are here to arrest Mr. Jha " all shocked to hear this

Shyam " What the hell is this! I have not done anything like this " went to Anjali " Rani Sahiba believe me I have not done anything like this "

Anjali slapped Shyam shocking to all " I know everything about you. I found out you lusting over Khushiji long back, Shyam Monahar Jha. I saw you with Khushiji but when I called you, you lied to me of being in Pune. I hired a private detective; then I came to know your engagement with Khushiji and also your involvement in many crimes but I kept mum because I love you and don't want to lose you. Intentionally I arranged pooja , and called Khushiji to see you so she step back; and she did as I expected her to do. She came to me to tell me about you but she could not as that day my mangalsutra was broken and I cried; she step back again. But on Akash's marriage, when Chote saw you with Khushiji on terrace; he was going to tell about your true face to the family. To save you I have to lie about my pregnancy. I am not going to a mother; there is no princess " all shocked hearing this " But I did not know you will try to kill my chote " making all just beyond Shock at the moment

A slap echoed across the silent corridor. Anjali touched her cheek, her eyes staring horrified at her Nani. Nani's face was fuming with anger. Everyone else was shocked. No one spoke.

Nani " Anjali?? How could you even hide all this for so long? Such a cruel heart you have got. So much selfish for you happiness and contentment that you didn't even care for others life ? You cannot be my Grand daughter "
