CHAPTER-1:- The start of nightmare in her beautiful dream
Khushi was in the last few months of her fashion designing course.She is sweet, beautiful, lovable, very helping and down to earth girl.
She was living with her father in Lucknow in her own small safe cocoon like world. She was her father's only princess. After her Ma's death at her age of 5, her Papa
Shashi became everything to her.
Shashi Gupta was a renowned sweet shop owner and did everything for his Khushi's khushi. It was a life any girl would like to have.
But it all ended when she saw Pramad, son of an Ex-MP in a birthday party of her friend.
He was looking at her as though he'll eat her alive in that whole party.After that party he followed her wherever she went like an obsessed man. She ignored him completely but he never gave up.
After one month when Khushi was preparing for her final exams, that Pramad proposed her. Propose is a good word. It shouldn't be used here. He demanded her to be his second wife. She had nauseating feeling hearing that. She clearly remembered her wife in that party, a beautiful woman and for god's sake she was pregnant. One look at her itself told that she was not at all happy with marriage life. There was a constant fear in her eyes looking at her so called husband.
Khushi scolded him and gave him a piece of advice(as if he'll hear and follow it) telling him not to disturb her and live with his wife. As expected he was not at all hearing her instead was ogling at her from head to toe which made her squirm in disgust.
After that instant she never went alone. She always go with her Babuji or with her friend Preetho.
Both she and Preetho gave their exams successfully and planned to enjoy their one month vacation before the results. They didn't worry about the results as they will be the toppers as usual and they already have their jobs reserved in the top most company AR designs{(HOW? Ill explain later in flashback)}
But fate had other plans.
She didn't know that Pramad have threatened her father that he have to agree with him or else he'll make sure that Khushi ll be his at any cost.
It was the day after her exam and she was in home watching F TV, noting some points her notebook.
Preetho called her and told happily that Aman bhai s coming next day as their exams were over.
Why wouldn't she be happy? She got her dream love in Aman bhai.
And was going to work with him in AR. She should be happy. She was happy for her friend.
Just then her father came with a gloomy face. She sat beside him and asked why he was like that.
Her father told about Pramad's threat and told her that he went to police station to give a complaint about it. But in that police station they were not at all reacting seriously instead they told him to co-operate with him as he is a dangerous person.
Khushi felt fear for the first time about him. She looked at her Papa who was thinking seriously.
After some time Shashi looked at his Khushi, "Kush! Go and pack some cloths, ur certificates, ur designs and necessary things", he wrote down an address and gave it to her. " This is my friend Govindh Sharma's address. He s living in Delhi. He'll help u. U go and stay there for some time till this problem gets over. U discard ur sim and buy a new one on ur way . Dont contact me for some days dear. I know it'll be hard but its for ur own safety.", he hugged her tightly as though he couldn't meet her there after.
Khushi refused to leave her Babuji but he was adamant. She eventually accepted and did as he told without knowing that it ll be the last she gonna she him.
When she almost reached Delhi the next day early morning, She bought a news paper and a new sim card in a bus stop. She was taking different different buses in each bus stop to Delhi as per her Babuji's idea.
She read the important news alone first and when she got bored she started to read all the news.
Thats when, She got the first shock of that big day which was waiting with many roller coaster turns. She read the news of her father death!!! It told that the police don't know whether it is murder or suicide but as his daughter is missing may be she might have run away, so he might have killed himself due to shame. Khushi couldn't read further.
But She knew the truth. That bas**** have killed her father and now bribed the police to end the case as suicide.
Khushi was too stunned to react.
When she reached Delhi, her trance was broken by the conductor and she took some time to come to reality.
She controlled her tears remembering the danger she is in and made a promise on her Papa to save herself from him at any cost for which her Papa gave his own life.
She called her Babuji's friend from public phone booth and the next shock of the day hit her.
Govindh uncle told that Pramad's goons have come and searched for her there, so his home was not safe for her. He asked her to go away from the bus stop as they might come there to search for her.
Khushi didn't waste much time in wondering and she took the first local bus she saw. She just stared blankly outside.
After a hour or so, a temple got her attention. She got out of the bus in the next stop and walked towards the temple.
It was her Devi Maiyya temple. She went to the mandhir and just stared at the smiling idol for some time to find some solace.
Some time later, She went to a corner kept her luggage and sat down. She was tired both emotionally and physically.She leaned against the wall and cried her heart out remembering her days with her Papa.
Thats when She saw ANJALIJI.
