Special thanks to kittenlover for inspiring me to write something. ⭐️😳
Khushi kept on gazing at the stars on a very cold december night. She was at the terrace of the Raizada mansion. She had been a frequent visitor here most of her days of her 5 months stay here . Here is the only place where she gets some peace . Peace, when she shares her woes with her own people, her parents . Will thing get any better for her ever. Here she is, disowned by her family, married to a man who hates her, at his house living a contract marriage of 6 months.
She had so many dreams on her marriage. Everything went crashing down when she decided to save her sister Payal's marriage. She had broken Payal's marriage before one year and her foster parents had not left any stones unturned to blame her, accuse her. That she is a bad omen and she is the main cause of all their ill fate.
So she decided . Decided to give it back for all the favours the Guptas has bestowed upon her. For raising her up from the time she got orphaned by the accident which took her parents away from her. For breaking Payal's marriage before , although Payal did not deserve anyone like that guy who wanted only her property.
Her 6 months contract period is going to end soon in some days. And the Gupta's are not going to take her back. And the people here also do not care a bit. They do not even care whether she is present there, has she eaten anything, or is she even alive or dead ? . Anyways she will have to make some arrangement for herself.
There will be a party in the house tomorrow. Some important clients will be coming. Preparations are going on since a long time in the house. She has been helping with the preparations the whole day. Maybe everyone thinks of her as the servent of the house. Does that even matter now?. Only a very few days are left of her imprisonment here. Then she will be a free bird. She will vanish from here without anyone's knowledge. No-one will know that a Khushi Kumari Gupta ever lived over here.
Guess she will have to wait for a few more days. She's been saving some money from her Dabba service for some time now. Her foster parents have refused to take anything from her . Only if her Bauji was well , he would have stood by her . Even when everyone was busy accusing her for her elopement , she has seen some kindness in his eyes. Trust , that his daughter would not do anything that will harm his reputation. But it is of no use now since the Gupta women wont let her near him. She has wanted very badly to see him once before leaving forever. Guess that also will remain only as her unfulfilled dream .
Khushi got herself ready earlier than her usual time. She has to go to temple today. She has been very restless off late. She did'nt understand the reason why, so she decided to go to her Devi maiyya to get some solace. After the puja she stayed some time over there offering prashad and serving old people . Someone from their midst , an old man with long white hair told her that something unexpected will happen today in her life. She felt like laughing at her fate. She is already living an unexpected twist in her life . what more is there to happen ? .
Khushi got back home and continued with her chores for the day . Raizada mansion was bustling with all the activities . All the servants were called and allotted with different works for the party. Soon it became evening and the chief guests have arrived and everyone were after them . He was some hot shot businessman it seems , who came along with his son .
ASR came to her and asked her to serve the guests . Anyways it did no make any difference to her . She is ASR's wife only for the name sake. She saw the Prakash brothers giving her pitiful glances . She ignored them and took the refreshments and walked upto them. She did'nt even care to look at their faces and started serving them . But the guests did'nt come forward to accept the drinks . She became surprised and looked into their faces . They were looking at her intently and even she got some flashes in her head. She running behind someone calling chachu , i want ice cream . chachu i love you, you are the best'. chachu , i want a barbie doll'. And the person replying sure princess, anything for you'. She felt as if all this were from another lifetime . She kept on staring at the person stunned and gasped a feeble chachu', and the refreshments plate fell down from her hands and scattered everywhere . ASR who was standing alongside saw this and got angry and was about to shout at her when the person along with his son stopped him.
They took some steps towards her direction to go near her but all of a sudden she fainted . Khushi screamed ASR and caught hold of her . But what surprised him was his guest calling her princess' and getting worried about her. He did'nt understand anything so he carried her to the nearby sofa and laid her down over there. Someone sprinkled some water on her and she started getting conscious.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes were her similar hazel eyes looking worriedly at her . She understood his worry and said a very soft chachu doubtfully. But she was rewarded with a very happy and releived princess' and they hug each other and all her problems slowly started dissolving away.
