HELLO HI~ .. writing an OS after such a long time... This OS is dedicated to the birthday girl, Rafaheli... hope you like it!
I'm continuing it from the night of Payal and Akash's wedding.
Khushi escapes from Payal who attempts to run after her with the heavy red lehenga she's wearing for her wedding because her little sister got the guts to tease her at the best level.
Khushi runs and glances back to see her jiji chasing after her but far away to catch her.
Khushi glancing back and running: Jiji watch out, you'll fall and akash jijaji isn't here to catch you and carry you in his arms.
Payal: shut up khushi! ughh!
Khushi giggled at the state of her jiji not being able to come out of the room chasing after her. After all, she's going to be the bride of the Raizada family and it' doesn't look good' to do so.
But who knew THIS would happen afterward.
Khushi: AAA!!
Khushi who was glancing back giggling didn't look forward and bumped onto someone who happened to be the one and only Arnav Singh Raizada, with his annoying smirk' according to khushi because she has noticed that evil smirk' of him only after the poolside kiss. And he constantly smirks whenever he sees her.
Khushi was about to fall and closes her eyes but he catches her.
Arnav smirking: Watch out Khushi kumari gupta!
Khushi: Can't you walk properly?!
Arnav: Excuse me? you were the one walking forward glancing back!
Khushi: yeah but you were looking forward na? couldn't you just walk without bumping onto me?
Arnav: Indeed, you're impossible!
Khushi shows him her little tongue making him smirk again. He steps forward closing the distance between them and holding her by her waist.
Arnav whispering: By the way, I'm always here to catch you if you fall, even if akash isn't for payal.
That widens khushi's eyes into 2 big saucers.
Arnav who was enjoying the those beautiful cheeks turned into tomato red, the trembling lips that aren't in a state to utter a word bends more and open up her long, silky hair that was tied with a black punch clip.
Arnav whispering in her ear: Better!
Khushi's heart was pounding, her knees went weak but before they gave up, he moved back looking at her face.
Arnav: why is it that whenever I'm near you your cheeks turn red? Any special reason? Because I haven't even kissed you this time.
Khushi's jaw drops at those bold and direct words he used so easily. Arnav's smirk turned into a evil smile at her expression. Giving her a final wink, he headed downstairs.
For god knows how long had khushi been standing on the same spot like a statue. She wouldn't have moved even for the phere of payash if payal hadn't come and held her ears saying she'll teach her a lesson for teasing her so badly and dragged her to the room.
All those time one pair of eyes were constantly watching all the incidents. his hands made a fist and banged onto the wall he was leaning.
After half an hour..
Payal: Khushi, I forgot my necklace in anjaliji's room. Can you get it for me?
Khushi: yeah sure, don't worry! I'll be right back.
Khushi entered the room and started searching for the necklace. No one was in the room as all were busy attending the guest downstairs. She looked for it in the dressing table, the drawers and finally in the cupboard but couldn't find it. she looked around the room and saw it on the bed.
Khushi: I'm so dumb! It was right infront of me.
All of a suddent he lights went off making khushi clutch her dupatta, her heart started to race and she kept sweating as she's scared of darkness. She called out payal, anjali, but no one heard her.
Khushi: Ar...Arnavji?
But he didn't hear either. She could hear the noise of the guests downstairs and could see from the glass door that the lights didn't go out downstairs.
Someone held her by her waist with one of his hands and the other one started roaming around her neck, down to the back.
Touch was not familiar. Khushi knew it wasn't her Arnavji. and the the voice echoed in her ear.
"khushiji!"
Khushi's eyes widened with shock. She could sense his evil smile.
Khushi: "shyamji!"
Shyam: areh wah! Itni asa ni se pehchan liya aap ne?!
He bend to kiss her and was successful for the first time. Khushi slapped him for the nasty attempt he made.
Shyam flaring his nose: oh! So when I kiss you, it's not justified. And when salesahab kissed you it was alright ? yeh kaisi baat hui?
Tears streaming down her face: let go off me! LET GO!
He pushed her on the bed and tried to lay over her with his hand roaming all over her body making khushi feel snakes are on her body.
He put away her dupatta and threw it somewhere in the room and tried to kiss her wherever he could get access to.
Khushi kept trying to push him with her legs and hands but all in vein. She screamed but no one to hear as it was too noisy with all the music, dances and guests downstairs.
A vase fell on the ground making shyam run out of the room.
Downstairs...
Anjali: Chhote, have you seen shyamji? Can't find him anywhere in the living room.
Arnav: I don't knw di... do you need anything?
Anjali: actually chhote I forgot my cell phone in my room, can you get it for me? and get shyamji here. I need him.
Arnav: yes di.
Arnav went upstairs and opened anjali's room to find everything dark,
Arnav: Jijaji?
When there wasn't any response, he thought shyam isn't here and he turned on the light to search for anjali's cell phone. Grabbing the phone, he was about to go out of the room when he heard something. He turned around to see khushi sitting on floor at the corner of the room with her dupatta worn like a shawl.
Arnav frowned and went to her side and.
Arnav frowning: Khushi?
When she didn't turn he called her again and didn't get any response. He bent to touch her shoulder and as soon as he did so, she screamed and moved his hands from h her shoulder with a jerk.
Arnav: Khushi?!
Khushi: Don't come near me! get out of the room! or I'll scream and call everyone! I'll call Arnavji!
Arnav was shocked at such response and didn't know what to think, for few seconds he kept thinking if what he just heard was right or not. Finally, he held khushi's chin and turned her around to see something he would never want to see ever in his life. Khushi was staring somewhere at the ground, looking at nothing, her face was pale, lips swollen, eyes red and swollen, her kajal was spread out as if she's been crying for the past few days.
Arnav horrified: Khushi?! I'm Arnav. khushi what happened? Oh my god! Khushi?
He kept shaking but she didn't respond or utter a single word. Nothing in his entire life has made him so worried and scared. He cupped her face and looked into her eyes. A tear came out of her left eye but she kept sitting there like a statue, like a zombie. He wiped it with his thumb and
Arnav: Khushi, look at me!
She didn't move or respond.
Arnav: Goddammit khushi. I can't see you like this. JUST tell me what freaking thing happened to you dammit!
He can't believe the bubbly, jolly khushi he had met just half an hour ago has become like this. She's so quiet.
He sighed and thought it would be best to call payal as she shares everything with her jiji. He wished she would just tell him what caused this state of her, he wished she could share her pain with him, he would do anything to make everything better but see this side of her.
Arnav: I'll call payal.
He turned around and got up when he felt her soft palm enclosed around his index finger. He turned to see khushi still looking at the ground. She pulled him towards him slightly making him sit beside her. And then what she did next surprised him the most.
Khushi slowly leaned towards him and buried her head in his chest with her hands around him, embracing him tightly shocking him more and more. It has always been Arnav who would tease her with the bold words, challenge her, deliberately come close to her. Never had khushi, and that too deliberately come close to him or hugged him except once when her father was in the hospital. Though the move she just made please him, it has made him worried and scared more than anything.
Khushi who was still holding his index finger tightly burying his face in his chest felt his one arm go around her making her feel protected than ever. he rubbed her cheek with his knuckles as if to sooth her.
Arnav: Hey! What's wrong?
Khushi: Don't leave me.
Has she made her mind to give him shocks one after one? Just on the mehdi ceremony she had warned me to stay away from her and now she says not leave her?
Arnav: I...
Khushi: Please Arnavji, don't leave me.
Something inside him just made him respond to that automatically.
Arnav holding her tight: I won't.
They sat there on the ground like that for what felt like eternity. Khushi felt so protective, so secured with him, in his arms.
Arnav: errmm... Do you want me to call Payal?
Khushi: no... it's okay. Thanks!
She said snuggling more. They wouldn't have moved an inch hadn't anjali called from downstairs.
Arnav: We should go down. Di asked to get her cell phone.
Khushi nodded and said to wait for her so that she could get changed but when anjali called out for Arnav again, she just asked him to go down and she would follow him within sometime. He refused to go down leaving her in this state but khushi insisted.
After 15 minutes when khushi had changed into a beautiful silver and purple lehenga and came out of the room, someone grabbed her hand and dragged her to the storeroom. She knew it is shyam. she tried to scream but he had covered her mouth. She somehow pushed him and bit his hand to which he whined in pain giving her a chance to escape. Khushi ran out of the room and her eyes search for the only person, Arnav. As soon as she saw him talking on the phone at a corner of the hall, she ran and hugged him from behind leaving him dumbfound. Fortunately, everyone was busy with the guest that they didn't see them like this. Arnav turned around to see her breathing heavily and he could tell looking at her face that something has definitely scared her. Something serious has happened.
Arnav: khushi?! Wha...come with me.
She obediently followed his without a question. All she needed for now is staying with Arnav. Khushi who was behind Arnav went to his side and held his hand surprising him more.
He took her in a quiet place outside of RM. She knew what he's going to ask her but there's no answer for his questions. At least not now. She can't risk her sister's marriage, her life by exposing shyam. she'll tell him later. At the right time. Till then she just have to zip it no matter what.
Arnav with a stern look: What is it?
Khushi shook her head: no.. nothing. I just saw you and-
Arnav: and thought of hugging me? Just like that? Khushi, it's not YOU...I know something's wrong. so just say it.
Khushi: no it's nothing, really. I'm just sad to lose my jiji,
Arnav sighed: so you're not planning to tell me, are you?
Khushi: If there isn't anything, what do you want me to tell me arnavji?
Arnav: did anyone from my family say anything to you?
Khushi shook her head.
Arnav: from your family?
Khushi: no... I;'m telling you it's-
Arnav: Is anyone bothering you khushi?
This time she gave him a fast reply. Arnav could see the same anxiousness in her.
Arnav: Yes! Someone IS bothering you.
He said looking directly into her eyes which were looking here and there, unable to look at him into his eyes with confidence. She can lie but her eyes can't.
Arnav: who's it khushi?
His fingers are bent towards his palm to make a perfect fist.
Khushi: No one is bothering me! nothing has happened.
Arnav: You-
Khushi: Arnavji, I'll tell you at the right time. I promise.
Arnav stared at her for sometime trying to figure out what it could be but gave up.
Arnav in a cold voice: You better!
Khushi: We should go inside.
Arnav said softly: Khushi, you can tell me anything, ask for anything you want, Never ever hesitate to share anything from me. I know I had been extremely rude to you in the beginning but trust me, I have changed. I will never ever intentionally hurt you, I promise. If you're not comfortable telling me what it is at this moment, don't but I don't want you to get hurt for anything by suppressing whatever it is to you. I know it's just not payal's marriage, it's definitely something else And if it is that fianc of yours, I swear I'll kill him!
Khushi has never seen Arnav pouring out his thoughts to anyone and seeing him care for her so much has made her heart dance with joy even though she knows how much danger she herself is at.
She just smiled softly, not being able to express how much secured she feels at this moment.
Arnav: let's go inside now.
Khushi: you go first, I'll follow you.
Arnav was about to argue but the face she made afterward didn't let him refuse.
He was about to turn around when khushi called out holding his hand.
Khushi: Arnavji!
He turned around and looked at his hand which khushi was holding.
She came forward and hugged him tightly.
Khushi: You're really nice Arnavji. Thanks for everything.
Arnav who was surprised at her sudden move and words smiled and held her by her shoulder to see her face.
She was so innocent, so pure. How did he ever hurt her?!
He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. This time there wasn't any shocking, why did you do this' , expression in khushi's face. It just felt so right!
Arnav: I'll go inside hmm?
Khushi nodded.
OOo
NK: di ! My video camra.. those annoying kids snatched the video camera from me and I do''t know where they are now!
Anjali giggled: I saw them going to my room an hour ago. It must be there. Acchha NK, first please check on the buffet, if everything is alright over there. I can't find shyamji. Don't know where he has disappeared.
NK: Okay di,
Nk left.
Anjali saw arnav coming inside.
Anjali: chhote where were you? I asked you to get my cell phone and you vanished.
Arnav: sorry di I-
Anjali: it's okay, can you get it now?
Arnav: yes I'll be right back.
Anjali: oh and chhote, I think NK's video camera is somewhere in my room. can you bring it as well?
Arnav: Sure di.
OOo
Arnav entered the room to find the video camera in the dressing table, turned on.
Arnav: This NK! Can't even turn off it after using. Gosh!
As he was about to turn it off, some other button was clicked mistakenly and some video started to play.
OOo
Khushi was talking to NK downstairs, still scared of what was about to happen in that room when someone pulled her harshly.
Khushi: Arnavji?
Everyone turned to see what's going on. khushi family was shocked at what they are seeing right now, the raizadas were confused.
Arnav: it was shyam!
Khushi widened her eyes looking at him.
Shyam: what are you doing sale sahib!? Leave her. What will the guest think? She-
As soon as khushi heard shyam's voice she hugged him back making arnav tightening his grip around her assuring her that she's protected..
He couldn't finish his sentence when he felt a punch right in the middle of his face, his nose started bleeding.
Anjali: CHHOTE!!!!!
Everyone was too shocked of what just happened to utter a word.
Arnav: you f****** had the guts to touch her!?
He punched in his stomach few times making him fall on the ground.
Arnav: you f****** had the guts to ...HOW DARE YOU?!
Anjali: chhote STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
Khushi: Arnavji please stop!
Arnav: everyone wants to know what has happened. Let's just show them.
Everypne was shocked to see the video, how shyam manhandling khushi, what he was trying to do in the room. khushi just hid his face in arnav chest and arnav holding her. The guests were asked to leave the hall as he didn't want to publicly show the video.
The next one hour was about the punches, slaps, thumps, kicks, strikes, that came from Arnav and anjali being strong enough not to break down but kick him out of the house. Arnav called the police and asked him to arrest Shyam.
Arnav: Khushi is my responsibility from now! We're getting married.
Buaji: But arnav bitwa-
Arnav: Enough buaji. This is our decision. If you were considerate enough to ASK khushi's consent before engaging her with someone a jerk like him, she wouldn't have to face this. I know no one knew that shyam is the son in law of Raizada family but clearly, khushi wasn't happy with her engagement.
Buaji was hushed by those line of arnav, realizing her mistake.
Arnav: is there anyone who's against this marriage?
No one respond.
Arnav smirked: Very well! And how about you Ms khushi kumara gupta?
Khushi who was in tears until now looked at his mischievous smirk and responded.
Khushi smirking back: I'll have to think, Mr Raizada.
Arnav raising one of his eyebrows: Oh really?
Everyone burst into laughter.
Khushi: I love you Arnavji!
Arnav touching his forehead with hers- Love you too sweetheart !
So it was definitely a wedding night but not only of akash and payal but also Arnav and khushi.
Please let me know how it was😳
Love
