Part 6
"Welcome Mrs.Arnav Singh Raizada"
"Excuse me" Khushi exclaimed,completely confused "Who are you? What am I doing here? Where's my family?"
He smirked "Too many questions.Curious much"
Khushi gritted her teeth "What am I doing here?"
"This is my farmhouse.My name is Arnav Singh Raizada" he introduced.He walked up to her until they were only a feet far away "Your husband" he said,letting the back of his hand graze against her cheek.
"What nonsense!" Khushi said outraged,stepping backwards "I think I am at the wrong place" she glared at him "Especially with the wrong person"
Arnav's smirk only widened instead of decreasing as Khushi had wanted.He turned around and walked to the couch.He took his seat and grabbed the file laying on the table.He leaned back on the couch,relaxing and then opened the file "Full name Khushi Kumari Gupta.Father's name Shashi Gupta.Mother's name Garima Gupta.Brother's name Samar Gupta.You are 24 years old.Studied fashion designing in Florida.Shared an apartment with Lavanya Kashyap.Favourite color is yellow.You never cut your hair because you were scared it would never grow back and you loved it too much" he flipped page "You love animals and children and the rain.You get scared of thunderstorms and lightning and the dark.Your favourite sweet is jalebi" he paused and looked at her "Want me to continue because this file has everything from your first blink when you were born to you arriving in Delhi at the airport"
Khushi froze.The intensity of his voice and the thickness of the file made her realize he wasn't joking.She gulped "What do you want from me?" she asked as bravely as she could.
Arnav stood up and walked up to her til he was mere inches away from her "I want my sister"
Khushi stared at him "W-What?"
"My sister.Your brother's wife.In short your bhabhi is my sister"
"Y-You're bhabhi's brother?"
Arnav nodded "I am her brother"
"B-But you are nothing like she had described.She said you have a gem as a heart and...and"
"I am only that for my di but for everyone including you,I am ASR"
"What do you want from me?" she snapped.
"I want you to separate them.I want you to separate my di and your brother"
Khushi gave a sarcastic laugh "You think I would do that? Well then you have gone absolute nuts.There's no way in the world that I would break my own brother and sister-in-law's happiness"
"You think my sister is happy with your brother? She comes from a high rich class family.Why the hell would she want to live in a small house with a middle class family?"
"She loves my brother" Khushi exclaimed "I know she does.I can see it for him in her eyes"
Arnav scoffed "Love? What d you know about love? Have you ever been in love before?"
Khushi froze.She didn't hear anything else Arnav said.Moment and memories spent with her Masked Man flashed through her head.The man who made her feel safe,protected and loved.The man who had just disappeared without a trace.She looked at Arnav who seemed to be staring at her confused "What?" Khushi whispered.
Arnav quirked an eyebrow "Are you going to break them up?" he asked.
Khushi came back to the real world.She looked at Arnav and shook her head "Never.I would rather die but never break someone,especially my brother's happiness"
Arnav's eyes flashed up to hers,staring her down.Khushi gulped.A few minutes passed by with silence until he broke it "We will see" he said.
Khushi looked away "I want to go home" Arnav opened his mouth to say something but wen he saw her eyes filled with tears,he remained quiet "Please" Khushi said in a soft voice.
Arnav nodded "Om Prakash!" he yelled.A servant came running up "Get the driver ready" he instructed.The servant nodded and left.Arnav grabbed Khushi's hand and led her out.He opened the car door.When she sat comfortably,he leaned towards her.Khushi widened her eyes when he took her hand in his.He took out a ring and slipped it on her ring finger.He looked into her eyes "Just to let the world know you are mine" he said before closing the door.The car drove off,finally driving to her actual home.
Khushi's Ring
****************************************************
"I am married" she whispered to herself in the car "No rituals or anything.Just a sign on a piece of paper.How could I have been such a fool? How didn't I notice that what would papers in Spanish be doing in India" Khushi hid her hand in her hands but then felt the cool diamond of the ring gently caress her face.Khushi looked at the ring "I am married" she repeated again "This is real.Oh what I am going to do? Should I tell my family?" Khushi widened her eyes and shook her head "They wouldn't know what to do.They would probably be ashamed of me or just confused.Afterall the minute I stepped into Delhi,I got married to a complete stranger and that stranger is my own bhabhi's brother" Khushi gritted her teeth "What a beast he is.Gem of a heart,my foot" she scoffed "I probably shouldn't tell them.Maybe I will find a solution to this mess.Afterall every problem has a solution right" she bit her lip.
"We are here" the driver said.
Khushi glared at the driver "Are we at the right place because if we are not then oh you are going to get it" she snapped at him.
The driver gulped "Yes ma'am.I am more than positive that we are at the right place.Would you like me to bring your luggage and bags?"
"No"
Khushi jumped out of the vehicle and grabbed her stuff.She looked at the small house in front of her.It looked like the right place.Hadn't changed it a bit.Khushi knocked on the door.Garima opened the door.The second she saw Khushi,she pulled Khushi in a bone-crushing hug mumbling about how she missed her and how late she was and what not.Khushi sighed happily glad to be with her mom.Her dad soon followed,followed by her brother.The family talked endlessly with her "Why were you late Khushi? I got one of the best taxi drivers to retrieve you.I am so sorry I couldn't come.It's just boss gave me tons of work and you know everything,right"
Khushi nodded "I guess we kind of lost our way" she lied "Anyways where is Bhabhi?"
"She went to her home"
"Why?"
"Because her brother has come from America and she wanted to welcome him as much as she wanted to welcome you but we kind of told her to go since we all will be with you"
Khushi sat on the couch and stared at her brother "Tell me the truth bhaiya.There's something you are hiding from me and I want to know"
"There's nothing"
"Bhaiya.It has something to do with Bhabhi's brother.Tell me the real reason she left or I will go to her home and ask her there itself"
Samar shook his head "Okay okay listen.Anjali's brother doesn't know we are married"
Khushi widened her eyes "But why not?"
"Because over the past few years he has had something against middle class people and Anjali knows that he wouldn't want her to marry me because of my class"
"That's dumb"
Samar nodded "Don't worry.We are planning to tell him soon together"
"Hmm" Khushi said "I think I should go to bed now.Good night"
Everybody said good night and left for their bedrooms.
Khushi lay on her bed and closed her eyes "I will find a solution" she whispered to herself.
