She was walking alone'. She had to'
it was too dark..! where are all street lights?
"Hey, devi maiiya'.phirse load shedding'! Ye sarkar hain ya ganna choosne wali machine?
Tax k naam pe paisa to lete hain par jab kam krne ki baari aaye toh' humph..!"
She wished for some tiny light' she ruffled through her Potli..for torch.. but in vain..
" aaj chaand bhi nahi hain' Khushi.. kaal hi toh amawas thi.. itni jaldi poora chand kaise hoga?
She started biting her nails'that's the only bad habit she have'
Par itna kyuin darti hain khushi? Amma babuji hain na tere saath'."
She smiled towards the stars'..desperate for having them beside hers'
She had to walk alone'. She had to'
when did she had choice? Even if she wanted someone.. to be with her always' she never had choice'.
First HE grabbed her parents'. Next .. HE almost grabbed her foster father'
that reminded her THEIR First hug' well' almost hug'!
She knew he was too stunned by to react and sooth her'
but that time she wasn't in state of understanding someone' she herself was in need of someone who can understand her.. consol her'!
The night was chilling'.and her red anarkali wasn't much of good..
" kash arnav ji yahan hote'. Toh shayaad'..
Her trail of thoughts was cut by something'
She felt someone's hand slipping into hers'
She broke into 1000 watt smile'
She don't need to turn her head to see who it was as she know the TUOCH very well'
"aap yaha kya kar rahe hain'?"
"tum mujhe yaad kar rahi thi na?"
her mouth turn in to perfect "o"
" aa aaap kk kko k kkaaise pp pata?"
He rolled his eyes' then smirked at her "O"...
"Khushi.. sirf tum hi nahi'..main bhi tumhe jaanta hun'
Tumhe andhere se darr lagta hain na?"
She smiled' " aap sahi the'hum-
" -mujhe yaad kar rahi thi'."
She smiled again.. and gripped his hand..he too tightened his hand and slipped his fingers into hers'
They both knew'. There is no one out there now.. who is able to separate them '
Suddenly there was flash of brilliant white light'. It grew stronger and stronger'.
She tried to open her eyes' but light was too bright to handle..'.
She opened her eyes carefully' a room came in view as her eyes adjusted to brightness of light'
It was sunlight that disturb her deep slumber'.
" kitna accha sapna tha' hum.. aur arnav ji.. aur koi nahi'"
She tried to get up but only to stopped back by pair of HIS hands'
He was sleeping like usuall'his left hand beneath his head.. but right hand tightly gripping her around her shoulder..
She smiled at his expressions'.they were like' ummm hard to tell wats bothering him more'
Sunlight or she trying to escape'.
" Laad Governer'."
Then she suddenly remembered last nights segments'.
she was in mandap'.
Broken'.
Her mother was being accused by daadi'
Smiling Face of shyaam ji'.
She being hurt'
Her instincts telling her that he is hurt..
She running like maniac and screaming like Hell'
Nk stopping her'
Her Mother's cries'
His comeback'
His words'
He arguing with daadi'..
Their wedding..!
THEIRE WEDDDING'! OH NO'..
THAT MEANS "AAJ HUMARA SHANTIWAN MAIN DUSRI BAAR PEHLA DIN HAIN'."
She glanced at clock'.It sruck 8.5am'..
" HAIN DEVI MAIIYA'8 BJ GAYE'.AUR HUMAIN KISI NE UTHAYA HI NAHI'.JIJI NE BHI NAHI'"
THAT made him wake up.. he jerked up'." WHAT THE? Khushi' tum thik ho?"
" nahi arnav ji'"
She was scared like hell'.
" kya hua?"
He worried'..
" aaj humara shantiwan main dusri baar pehla din hain'"
He bit back smile'
" toh ye acchi baat hain na' kam se kam tumhare pass Experience toh hain.."
" KYAA'? Aaappp' chodiye'. Hume'

She got up like feisty cat'.
" Unbelievable'" he said'.Amused'
But suddenly she dropped herself on bed'..
He was hell worried'..
" KHUSHIEEE'. What happened..???

" arnav ji who.. kal'.
She grabbed his hand'.and indicated to flowers by her eyes...
He got it in instant what she was trying to tell'
He remembered last night's incidents'.
DAADI telling him'.
Bringing up past again'
His pain'
Screaming'
Flashback with Maa'.
Driving carelessly on road'
Truck'.

Everyone happy' but
That creep's face'
Suddenly'.. an Idea cross his mind''he wanted to say..' what an Idea sir ji..jai ho'!' but contolled..!
" arnav ji' kaha kho gaye?" she clicked her fingers'.
He smirked.. she sensed something is going on '.
He cupped her face'.
She was taken aback'
He winked'.
Her eyes widened'.
He moved closer'.
She grabbed his hand'.and indicated to flowers by her eyes... Again'
He Flashed his Crooked smile'.and told her'
" WHO CARES'.."
AND ' after that'
