Khushi slowly opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings.She was at her home,in her room,on her bed,in the outfit she was in last night at the party.Khushi smiled realizing her Masked Man brought her home since she knew Lavanya wouldn't give up anything to party all night long.Khushi sat up and stretched.She looked at her clock and widened her eyes.She slept very late but then she smiled.Her second year of being in college was over.In a few months after the vacation,she would be in her third year "Two more years and I have to go back to Delhi" she said to herself "I wonder what he is doing right now" she wondered thinking about her Masked Man.Usually on the weekends,her Masked Man would come over and thet would watch a movie together "I wonder when he'll come" she said.
But he never came much to Khushi's surprise.She was sad,She was really hoping to spend some time with him but he never came.
Days passed by.Weeks passed by.Monthes passed by.Years passed by.But he never came.Khushi never lost hope.She kept it in her heart.Before she fell asleep at night,she would say "Maybe he will come tomorrow" But the next day he would never come.Khushi could feel her heart slowly break thinking he maybe wanted nothing to do with her anymore so he just left.Or more likely just disappeared.
Two Years Passed By.He never came.Khushi finished college and graduated.He never came.Khushi had slowly began to give up,thinking he would never come.Two years had passed by and it was time for her to return to Delhi.To return to her family.Her family was waiting for her.But before she left her apartment,she turned back.He was gone and he would never return.Khushi had accepted that a few months ago,much to her heart break.She looked at the dress he had given to her,lying abandoned on the bed.The one she wore when she first met him.His first gift to her.She had treasured it and not left a tiny speck of dust even touch it though she never wore it.Not after he disappeared.Her dress lay on the bed,it's bright color radiating.Khushi knew she couldn't leave it behind.It was his first gift to her and a memory of him.She had to keep it.Gently folding it,she put it in her suitcase.Now she was all ready.To leave Florida and most likely leave him.If he even was in the country.She closed her eyes,taking a deep breath and trying not to think of him "He's long gone" she whispered to herself "If he had wanted me then he would have came back long ago" With that she left.Leaving Florida and going to her family,unknown to what was already waiting for her.

"We have now landed in India.Thank you for choosing to travel with Air India.We hope to see you again" the pilot announced.
Khushi sighed and looked out her window.It was afternoon in India.Khushi stood up and grabbed her luggage.Her brother was coming to pick her up.She was excited to see him.Khushi was about to step out of the airport when a man in black came up to her,blocking her way "Khushi Kumari Gupta?" he asked.Khushi hesitantly nodded "Please come with me" he said.
He was literally wearing all black which made Khushi wonder how he was even surviving the hot weather.He was even wearing black shades.He led her to a counter and left.The lady behind the counter smiled at her.She gave Khushi a piece of paper and pen.Khushi looked at the paper,confused.It was all in Spanish.She would have understood it if it was in Hindi or English but Spanish...not so much.Khushi looked at the lady "Um what is this paper for?" she asked.
The lady spoke in another language completely unknown to Khushi,making her bite her lip in confusion.
********************************************************
"See that girl?" said a man pointing at Khushi "She's the one.You know what to do right?"
The old man nodded "I know" he said.
"Good" the other man said,handing the money over to him.
********************************************************
The old man walked up to Khushi and tapped her shoulder.Khushi turned around "Yes" she said.
"Are you having some trouble dear" he asked in a too polite tone which Khushi didn't realize due to her kind nature.
"Um actually this paper is in Spanish.I don't understand Spanish and I am sure they are asking for my signatures on this"
The old man nodded.He looked at the paper for a couple seconds and then turned to Khushi "It just says that the plane comforted your needs and you have no complaint"
"Oh" Khushi said completely trusting him "Thank you"
The old man nodded and left.Khushi took the piece of paper and signed it,not knowing what she actually signed.
********************************************************
Khushi stepped outside the airport,looking for her brother.Her eyes flicked from side to side trying to find him when she noticed a board with her name written on it in bold letters.She walked up to the man who held it "Um I am Khushi Kumari Gupta" she introduced.
He nodded "I am your driver.I will be taking you home" he said taking her luggage from her.
"Oh" Khushi said,slightly astonished "Um okay" The driver opened the back door for her and she sat inside.The driver went to his seat and started the engine.What Khushi didn't notice was the taxi driver that held another sign with her name on it.
********************************************************
He began driving "Um..how come my brother didn't come?" Khushi asked.
"Um he was busy" the driver said with a shrug.
Khushi nodded "It's been so long since I have seen him and bhabhi and amma and papa" she said "I can't wait to meet them"
What Khushi didn't notice was the slightly guilty look on the driver's face.
********************************************************
It was night.Khushi looked out,a look of confusion on her face "How come we haven't reached?" she asked the driver.
"We are almost there Ma'am" he said.
Khushi nodded,an unknown worried feeling settling within her "Something's not right" she whispered to herself.It was her inner instinct that was screaming at her ever since she had signed those unknown papers that something was terribly going wrong.Khushi bit her lip,hoping she hadn't made any sort of mistake.
********************************************************
The driver parked the car beside a farm house.Khushi frowned seeing it's exterior.It was large in size.There was absolute no way her family could have afford this.The driver opened the door "Are we at the right place?" Khushi asked,receiving no signs of recognition from the house.
"Yes ma'am" he said,immediately looking away.
"Okay" Khushi said.She walked up to the entrance doors.She rang the doorbell,ready to see her family 'Maybe bhaiya got a huge job and that's how they afforded this' Khushi thought to herself.
A servant opened the doors "Khushi?" he asked.Khushi nodded,wondering why there was a servant in their house "Please come in.Sir is waiting for you in his room" he said pointing at the room upstairs.Before Khushi could ask who he was talking about,he left "Weird" Khushi muttered before heading off to the direction given.Her heart beat was all of a sudden beginning to quicken "That only happened when he..." Khushi said to herself.She closed her eyes tightly and shook her head "No.He was long gone"
She was about to knock on the door when she thought 'We are all family.There is absolute no reason I need to knock on my own father or brother's room'.Khushi opened the door.A manly figure stood beside the huge bed.His back was to her.He looked strangely familiar to her.He took a sip of his wine before putting it down on the table "Welcome" he said turning around "Welcome Mrs.Arnav Singh Raizada" he smirked.
