===============================================
I WILL NEVER LET YOU FALL APART.
"This is your real place", Arnav shouted furiously at Khushi pushing her hard to the ground on the poolside with disgust in his sight. Tears brimmed in her eyes and started rolling down her cheeks.
For a minute, Arnav's heart cried seeing her in such a vulnerable state. He hated himself for talking to her like that, for hurting her. He felt like someone was stabbing him again and again.
He pressed his eyelids closing his eyes to ask himself if he was doing wrong to her. His mind played the flashes of the worst scene he witnessed in his life. He remembered Khushi hugging Shyam, Shyam and Khushi's conversation, how they were cheating Anjali. He got his answer. His fist got clenched in anger. He opened his bloodshot red eyes to see the crying girl in front of his eyes.
His anger overpowered the some soft emotions and pain he was feeling for Khushi. She wasn't anymore the same girl he loved, she wasn't anymore the pure soul for him. Now she was a cheat for him, was a home breaker who tried to and almost did break his sister's home. His sister was his life after his parents. She played all the roles in his life. She was his mother, father, sister, friend and guide. Arnav could have taken anything but any slightest harm to his sister... NEVER... and Khushi exactly did the same.
"Don't shed your crocodile tears in front of me. They have stopped affecting me long ago. You... you deserve worse than this and I will make sure that you will see hell in this life", he yelled at her grabbing her arm bending down a little.
Her vision was getting blur due to constant crying and his ruthless harsh treatment. She stared at him through her tears to confirm, was he the same person who was affected even if a piece of broken bangle hurt her, was he the same person who was scared beyond zenith when he thought she met with an accident, was he the same person who was shouting like a mad when he assumed her to be in that ambulance. Looked like, he wasn't the same person who he used to be.
She tried freeing her arm from his strong grip shifting her gaze from him which was hurting her. "Aahh", she let out a painful shriek as he tightened his grip on her more. Arnav's eyes were fixed on her face which had become red due to crying. Closing his eyes in frustration, he stood up removing his hold from her arm leaving his finger imprints on them.
"Thaddd", he left from there sliding the door hard without turning back. She sat there sobbing by hiding her face in her palms. Her sobs soon turned into hysterical cries. "Why? Why are you doing this Arnav Ji?"
It was almost 1 in night. Khushi wasn't asleep. How could one sleep, when just before some hours her life went all upside down, she got married, became Mrs Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada from Ms Khushi Kumari Gupta and that too forcefully, without her will, only for the sake of her sister's, payal's marriage. It wasn't any less than scariest nightmare of her life. Her Amma, who had never even raised her voice over her, today slapped her in front of everyone. Khushi couldn't even dare to look into her Amma's eyes. Khushi knew they would reflect how ashamed she was of Khushi. What would had she told her, that she didn't do anything wrong, she wasn't at fault, all what she did was only and only for sake of Paayal's happiness and marriage. Khushi was going through the toughest phase of her life.
Her eyes were swollen and all red due to her continuous sobbing. Her face turned pale. Feeling her throat dry, she got up searching for water. Her eyes went towards his room, she could see him nowhere. "He hadn't returned yet", she thought in her mind glancing once at the clock realising he left before almost nearly two hours and still hadn't come back.
Walking inside the room, she picked up water from the table and took some sips from it. She went near the dressing table and adjusted herself properly wiping her tears making herself little bit presentable while making her way out of the room to make sure if anyone at home sees her, they would not guess the truth behind her marital life with Arnav.
Khushi closed the door behind and stepped out of her room carefully not making any sound not wanting anyone from Arnav's family which was officially now her family too, to get up.
Opening the main door slowly, she walked outside and shut the door off. She wanted to breathe some fresh air, she was feeling suffocated. Her throat was chocking from inside. Last few hours had been really tough for her. All what she wanted was to die at that time not being able to understand and bear Arnav's hatred and his harsh behaviour towards her.
Marriage... like every normal girl, she had also dreamed of her beautiful marriage. She had so many plans for her marriage. It was not like she didn't want to marry Arnav, though she never confessed to even herself about her feelings towards Arnav but deep inside her heart knew what she feels for him...But what Arnav did, had shaken her completely beyond limits.
Her mind was occupied with number of questions to which she had no answers. Her chain of thoughts was broken as her gaze fell on Arnav who was standing out of Raizada Mantion by taking support of the bonet of car. As Khushi took some steps more towards the gate, she was shocked to see his condition. He wasn't in his senses. He was struggling to even stand properly.
Seeing Khushi, Arnav waved his hand at her signalling her to come near, "Khushii, come here" saying a bit loudly causing Khushi to panic. "What if anyone from family would get up hearing him, what if anyone would find him drunk" having a battle in her mind, she immediately rushed towards him opening the main gate.
"Arnav Ji, Aap ye..." before she could complete herself, he grabbed her hand and made her sit in the car forcefully. She was struggling to get free from his hold but he was too strong for her. Pushing her inside the car, he closed the door and got on the driving seat.
"Arnav Ji, what are you doing? You are drunk..." Khushi panicked as Arnav started the car. Being completely clueless and confused as well about what Arnav was doing, where he was taking her and most important why did he drink today?, as far as Khushi knew Arnav, he never drinks. But he was anyway behaving out of character today.
Ignoring Khushi completely, Arnav kept driving. Khushi was scared, firstly he was driving after being drunk and secondly he was way beyond unpredictable today.
Arnav applied breaks with a force causing to car stop with a jerk. Khushi looked outside to find it was the same temple where they got married just before some hours, the place which changed her whole identity. She quickly wiped a lone tear rolled down her cheek.
Stepping outside the car, Arnav went towards Khushi's side. Opening the door of her side, he dragged her by holding her hand. She tried protesting but it was of no use. With stumbling steps, he dragged her upside in the temple covering the stairs. She was by now had become too numb to react or protest knowing it would not change anything, he would do only what he wants to.
Reaching above in the temple, Arnav pulled Khushi in front him with a jerk making her loose her balance. She was about to fall ground but somehow prevented herself from falling down.
She looked at him, she should be technically angry and pissed off at him, but there she was... Feeling upset witnessing his condition.
"Why did you do this? Hmm ...tell me why... why you did this?" he screamed loudly questioning her scaring Khushi by his anger. He banged his hand hard on the wall behind in anger and frustration.
She stared at him with blank expression on her face, thinking in her mind, "Really? I should be the one asking you this". But she maintained her silence. She was tired of him and his accusations by then..
Arnav fell down on his knees and let out a heart breaking shriek, "Kyuuu???????????????"
Khushi was shocked to see him like that. Her heart wrenched by Arnav's painful state. He was punishing himself more than her. Khushi didn't even know what was the reason behind this neither Arnav was ready to tell her anything except his allegations and his accusing eyes.
"Hamne esa kiya kya hai Arnav Ji, ab to aap hame bhi bata hi dijiye, aakhir kis bat ki saja de rahe hai aap hame" Khushi lost her patience she was holding till now and she demanded him a clear answer to her question.
"Dhokha...dhokha diya... hai tumne... mujhe, tum esa kaise ...kar sakti ho?" he spoke in feeling betrayed tone with only and only hurt in his voice.
"Dhokha...??" she repeated his word being puzzled at whatever he was saying.
Taking one step towards her, he said, "Mai isi mandir me tumse... shaadi karna chahta tha, tumhe... tumhe duniya ki har khushi ...khushi dena chahta tha... tumhare sath sal ...ha salman khan ki movies dekhna chahata tha... tumhari bani jalebiya khana chahta tha...suggerfree wali... tumhare sath aasman ...asman ke taro me apni maa...maa ko dhoondna chahta tha... tumhare sath... mandir jana chahta tha... bhagwan pe vishwas karna chahta tha... lekin"
"Lekin kya?", Khushi wanted to know what he was trying to say. In his consciousness, he would neither say anything nor would listen to her but might be, in unconscious state, he will let her know what actually had wrong with him.
"Lekin... tumne sab kharab kar diya... meri maa ke jaane ke baad tut to mai gaya hi tha... lekin tumse pyar karke to mai bikhar hi gaya", he spoke in broken voice.
"Pyar... Arnav Ji hamse pyar", she exclaimed in her mind unable to believe what she heard.
She sat in front of him keeping her hand on his cheek, "Hamne aapko koi dhokha nahi diya Arnav Ji". Khushi told him softly staring into his eyes.
"Jhooth, jhooth. You are a cheater Khushi. How dare you to try to hurt my only life", he said jerking her hand away with a force.
He became unconscious due to the effect of alcohol and his head landed into Khushi's lap. Khushi was shocked and stunned because she couldn't figure out a single thing from all what he said except his confession that he loves her.
She gazed at Arnav who was still muttering something in unconscious state. She adjusted him properly in her lap and ran her fingers softly through his hairs. He looked so innocent and in so much of pain.
"He loves me? Yes he does. Then why did he marry me forcefully? Why is he hurting me? Why he is in so much pain. One side he could not see me hurt, other side he himself is hurting me so much..
And what he said about I tried to hurt his only life???
There is something behind Arnav Ji's behaviour. There surely is. I can see his love for me in his eyes. I have to find out everything. I am sure he is living in some misunderstanding. I have to clear it.
You want to hurt me na Arnav Ji? That gives you happiness na, then hurt me as much as you wants to. But I promise you I will wash out your every single misunderstanding and your pain as well.
And that day, you will not regret falling in love with me. I will never let you fall apart Arnav Ji...I'll never let you fall apart"
With determination of getting Arnav and his trust back, she leaned back to the wall behind while keep on caressing his hairs and she too slipped into slumber of sleep.
