She looked around. Questions were coming to her from left, right and centre. She couldn't handle this anymore. The reason that this marriage had occurred had gone and left her alone to deal with all of this. This was all his fault and she was left to face everything alone. Was this how it was always going to be for the next six months?. If it was then she doesn't know what she is going to do about it. But something has to be done. Why should she take all the blame and bear all the insults while he's in his room safe and sound. This wasn't fair. Wasn't marriage supposed to be together forever against everything. Yes she agreed that the marriage is for only 6 months, but so what she was his wife for the six coming months and she will not be treated like this!
'Khushi tell us! What is this?' Nani asked her
'What have you done titliya?!' Buaji screamed at her
'Khushi tell us, what happened? What made you take this decision?' Garima asked her
'Khushi weren't you telling us about marriage and what it was about a few days ago?' Anjali questioned her
'Khushi do you know what this mangalsutra means? What this sindoor means?, Speak Khushi speak!' Nani shouted
'BAS!!!! I've had enough!! You all want to know why this happened right? Why we've married right?! Well why don't you go and ask Arnav ji! Why am I the only one being questioned? Why is he allowed to be quiet? Why is allowed to be safe? Why is he not being questioned like me? Go and ask him what happened! Why it happened! Where it happened and how it happened! But please just leave me alone! I can't do this anymore!' Khushi shouted and then ran upstairs to the one place that would give her peace, the one place that was theirs and the one place where she would be able to communicate with her parents and let them know what she did and why she did it. They would not judge her, they were the only ones who understood her at this point in time. She needed them.
She sat by the pool, bringing her knees up to her face and hugging them, resting her chin against them.
She looked up at the sky, searching for the brightest stars. She couldn't find them. She sobbed silently.
'Amma, Bauji? Don't you even believe me? You should know what happened, you can see everything from up there can't you? So why are you not here with me? Why are you not supporting your Khushi? Amma I don't even know why he wants to marry me. What did I do wrong? Nothing? I just wanted everyone to be happy. I wanted jiji happy and Anjali ji happy. I warned Shyam not to come close to me. He hugged me amma and I tried pushing him off but he was too strong for me. I didn't tell Arnav ji this because I thought he'd reform himself but I was wrong. I wanted to tell Arnav ji but then he laid this condition in front of me. But Bauji I don't know why he did this but I know he's a good man. I know he'll take care of me, he's just pretending to hate amma, this is not how he really is,he's putting a front on bauji' she said while crying.
She looked up at the sky again and found two bright stars. She smiled a watery smile. They were here, they believed her, they understood her, they loved her, they supported her. She was thankful that at least she had some sort of support.
He heard her come in, he was sitting in his room. Thinking about what had happened and how he just left her there like a coward to fend for herself. She was his wife, she could handle it he thought to himself. If she can do the deed then she can certainly face the consequences. He went to the poolside to see what she was doing there. But what he heard broke him completely. She was not at fault in this. She never was. Shyam was playing games with him. He broke here. She was broken because of him.
He did so many things to her and here she was still defending him to her parents. What had he done in his previous life to deserve someone as caring as her. He decided he had to fix this. He had to make her right. He strode to where she was sitting.
She looked up to see him standing over her. She scooted herself back away from him. She felt him kneel beside her. He held her hands on her knees.
'Khushi, I'm so..soo sorry' he whispered, tears in his eyes.
She felt his tears fall on to her hands. She looked up at him. What was this?. The mighty Arnav Singh Raizada crying? And that to for her?.
'Arnav ji.' She started only to be cut off by him.
'Sshh.. Khushi let me speak,I've hurt you so much, I don't know how I plan to make it up, but I know I am going to. I want you to be with me forever. I'm sorry I listened to Shyam and didn't let you explain yourself. I heard everything Khushi I just hoped you had told me sooner so none of this would have happened. It's just that when I saw him hug you I didn't know what to think. Here I was coming to you happy to tell you that I...that I love you Khushi' he whispered gazing into her eyes.
She gasped. Did she just hear right? Did he say he loved her? Was this possible?.
She felt his hands leave hers, his shoulders slouched, like he was defeated. No this was not possible, she couldn't let him be defeated. She loved him too much. What was love if there were no hurdles?.
'Arnav ji, I don't blame you, I blame the circumstances, sure you could of done some things better, so could of I, but we both made mistakes and now we have the time to rectify them together. We can expose Shyam and also help Anjali ji' she said while holding his shoulders.
He lifted his head to look at her.
He hugged her needing her support.
'Khushi how kind can you get?' he whispered against her hair,
She hugged him back 'Arnav, I'm not kind, I'm just too selfish to leave you because without you I know I wouldn't be able to live' she said while looking up at him with teary eyes.
He cupped her face. 'No Khushi, now more tears, now we will make him cry tears for all the pain he's caused us' he whispered to her before taking her mouth in for a passionate kiss. Her hands automatically made their way round to his neck while his round her waist. They broke the kiss when they needed air.
'I love you Arnav ji' Khushi said with a smile on her face.
'I love you too Khushi, forever and beyond together we shall remain' he said with a smile.
'You can't get rid of me that easily' he smirked while nudging her nose with his.
'Who said I wanted to my laad governer' she grinned.
Well you could say I was a bit pissed at today's epi. But this is how I would of liked it to happen. I wanted Khushi to scream and shout and tell them to just leave her alone! Go and hound Arnav, what can Khushi say!
Sorry about the mini rant!
