BEGINNING OF THE END.. a story

"Ask me for anything today khushi… n u have got it!!!!!".. Said Arnav. He was particularly happy today and feeling extremely grateful to Khushi..

"You know what I want. Give me the answer, Arnavji..." was Khushi's reply.

Arnav stared at her...

EARLIER THAT DAY…

"Sir there are Income tax officers in the office. They are ransacking the place" Aman was dead scared on the phone...

"WHAT THE..." Arnav ran to the office in a hurry. When he reached the office he was told by his CA that a few papers regarding a 100 crore project were not submitted hence the raid. Arnav slapped his forehead. Those papers were safely in his locker at home below the Will file. He called home. Nobody answered. He tried every phone in the house. No reply. He was left with no other choice but to call her.

In the house, Khushi was helping Anjali tidy up her room. She had seen Di pick up stuff from her cupboard n ran to help her.

"Di, you sit down at once. I ll take over from here." She demanded of her Di.

Anjali guided her about the cleaning. She asked khushi to clean the drawers and the lockers and went down to grab something to eat.

"AR file in Shyamji's locker???" she muttered to herself. "None of your business Khushi. Leave it"

But her curiosity got better of her. She flipped through. "Why the Nainital project papers are here??"

"And Arnavji's will???"

At that moment her phone rang.

"Khushi, I want u to do something for me. Immediately. There is a black file in my locker. Get it and come to office. You ll find key in the bathroom behind the mirror."

" Why should I??"

"Khushi, this is not the time for all this. I ll explain later. Just do what I say."

"And check that its Nainital file."

"Kya??" Click..

BACK TO NOW

"You know what I want. Give me the answer, Arnavji..."

He stared at her. Stunned. He didn't anticipate this before granting the wish.

"I don't need to answer you. I will give you anything but the answer." He growled at her.

"So this is it. Your words are empty. Your promises hold no truth. I am not shocked. What can one expect from a self obsessed a.." she was cut short as he held her by the arms. As always. So tight that it was hurting her.

"You want to know? Fine. I only married you because I wanted to stop you and your LOVER BOY from ruining Di's marriage. I wanted to destroy you for being the bi**h you are. Arey chudail bhi 2 ghar chodkar waar karti hain. You tried to ruin the family in which everybody loved you. You should have rather killed me before doing this. You could have at least chosen someone single and your goal, rich. Only person you could find was my darling Di's husband?? Of course I cannot deny that he is equally a prick but you of all the people?? If you were after money, you could have asked me why play with my Di's life??"

Too stunned to respond, Khushi stared helplessly and heard all the allegations.

"You became so shameless that you brought your sin in this house!! I saw you and Shyam hugging on the terrace. I could not believe the shamelessness so I left. Don't kno what followed aft.."

Slap slap… finally registering his thoughts, Khushi became aware of the bile being spluttered on her..

"HOW DARE YOU"

"NO.. HOW DARE you Mr. Raizada?? How can you speak that way to me? Especially not knowing the truth.. are you aware that it was your Jjaji all along who tied me to strings.. he deceived me.. all of us.. he even got engaged to me.. the mental trauma of knowing his reality was unbearable for us.. it was only for the sake of your sister that I kept my mouth shut.. and its because of you and our joke of a marriage that I have to endure him everyday. And only because you dint find it necessary to cross check the fact with me or any of my family before dragging me into this.. I feel like killing him everytime he comes before my eyes.. it was for your sister and for mine that I had to swallow this poison.. each time I look at Di, it kills me to know that I could have been very much the reason to ruin her life. Each time I looked at you I thought how nearly I lost you. You don't know what its doing to me right now to hear all this from the person I love.. the only one I ever loved.."

THUDDD!!!!!!!

"DII…." Arnav and Khushi shouted together…
