Part 27

Arnav went to Khushi and hugged her while she was still unconscious. He was about to kiss her hand but Anjali stopped him by keeping a hand on his shoulder, "No Chote, you can't..."

Then Anjali lifted Khushi's hand and displayed him the reality. The ring in her finger, Khushi would get married to Dhruv.

Dhruv entered the ward just then, "Khushi..." he said.

"How's she Di?" even though there was Arnav he didn't care. He would have called off the marriage in the morning but seeing the situation he kept quiet.

He had observed the CCTV in the house from the day Arnav had announced the marriage, he knew that Khushi would never heartily agree to marry him and he waited for the moment she admitted that and yesterday she finally did by hugging the man she loved most.

Soon he would relieve her from the mental burden and she would happily find her place in Arnavs life but little did he knew about Arnav tricking Khushi and that one incident had changed the whole situation.

~*~

"Di yeh sab kaise hua?" asked Dhruv as he went towards the stretcher making Arnav move back.

"A bullet trespassed the window aiming straight at her and therefore she got wounded." Dr. Mehra came in as he was summoned by the nurse. The doctor further checked her pulse and blood pressure and concluded that she would be discharged after 2 days.

"Only one of you can stay here," said the nurse.

"I will..." said Arnav and Dhruv at one time and then glanced at each other in utter confusion.

Anjali knew how possessive Arnav could be about Khushi but now as per conditions Dhruv had the right to stay with Khushi.

"Chote let Dhruv stay with Khushi ji and anyways you have to manage arrangements for the marriage right?"

Arnav nodded positively and taking one last glance at Khushi left the room with Anjali and Naani. The Gupta family was making its way to the ward but Anjali stopped them, "Uncle nurse has advised that one of us should stay with Khushi ji right now, Dhruv is already looking after her, let her gain consciousness and then you can visit her."

Arnav went to the pharmacy and whilst he was buying medicines Bua ji approached him.

"Who was with Khushi went she was shot?"

"I was," he replied.

"Listen Mr. Betrayer..." said Bua ji with anger jolting in her veins, "...you have done enough damage to my child...you have played more than necessary with her, I know you are responsible for this condition of hers but it's my ultimate warn to you stay away from her and keep YOUR kids away from her too I don't want her to hinder in starting a new life because of a night sleeper and his harming illegitimate kids."

A betrayer she called him that didn't hurt because he was one.

She accused him of playing with her and damaging her and he acknowledged because it was the truth.

But he was not behind planning an attack on her and the way she talked of Aleisha and Karan the voice was depicting the same anger as would Daadi's when she would talk about them. It showed pure hatred not because they were bad but they were his blood.

He was ashamed of himself, this time not for hurting her but making his children being felt as burden by others, by making people loathe them. And the worst reality...his children loved him in spite of what he did to them.

After Khushi gained consciousness the whole family went to see her except Arnav as Bua ji stayed on the entrance like a security guard. He kept getting impatient and tried several times but his efforts went down the drain.

"Uncle I want to talk to Khushi in private," said Dhruv to Shashi.

Shashi was feeling insecure since the morning. He had sensed that something was fishy but he kept diverting his thoughts. Even now when Dhruv said him to leave he kept receiving negative vibes but he had no choice.

Once the coast was clear Dhruv thought it was time to confront.

"Khushi I am leaving tonight, in simple words I am calling off this marriage, I...I saw you and Arnav last night..."

Khushi had been silent till now gulping all the shocks she was receiving but when Dhruv talked of Arnav and her she had to speak up, "...I'm sorry...please forgive me...it...it was just a mistake..." she mumbled in a croaky voice.

"I wont do this again, I promise," she continued only to be cut by Dhruv.

"It's not that you've cheated on me or I am punishing you, it's realization Khushi not a mistake, grasp of the fact that you love him..."

"...no you're getting it wrong I hate him...I loathe him from every corner of my heart,"

"no you don't, you can't ever, what if I say he got a heart stroke,"

Her eyes which were gazing at the floor shot up immediately to face Dhruv, and then Dhruv smiled while she felt uneasy that she lost the game.

"...see, your words say something and your body language is completely opposite"

"but...I'll try and I'm sure it'll promise a better future please don't leave me like this, wh...what will I say as an answer to my family..."

Her eyes had brimmed up with tears who were now strolling down her face. Dhruv quickly wiped them off, "Khushi please don't think I'm ditching you, when Arnav had first tried to convince me to marry you I agreed only to accomplish my mission to bring both of you together. And see, he has realized that he loves you like you love him. You are one brought up in India right? You very well understand the precious bond of marriage then do you even think a decision made in 10-15 mins can ever last long? Both of you have a future ahead, you need to take a stand for your love and you need to give your and Arnav's relation a name, right?"

What a funny game!

Her mind snapped at her sarcastically. So this Mr. Dhruv never intended to marry her and she was fooling herself with the rituals all this while. But it didn't affect her much maybe because she should accept that life and the Raizada's could never play better games than betrayal with her.

Yes Dhruv ji said I don't hate you Arnav ji but now I will, I will learn to hate you.

Dhruv went from the hospital without saying a word to anyone leaving Khushi to answer everyone's questions

"Woh chale gaye..." (He went...) said Khushi as an answer to Shashi's question.

"He went...? Is this an answer? Where? And why?" asked Bua ji.

"He left me, he went to Austrailia, he didn't..." Khushi halted as she was struggling to try to keep her tears back, "...he didn't love me so he didn't want to marry me and he left" she concluded.

"What the hell he means by saying that he doesn't love you. If he doesn't then why did he agree to marry you? Why did he continue with all the rituals? If he thinks that he can get away with this easily then he is gravely mistaken. Shashi babua immediately contact the police. He mustn't be far..." ordered Buaji. Shashi was just summoning the police that Khushi stopped him.

"Magar kyun Khushi?" (But why Khushi) asked Garima.

"Hum bhula dena chahte hain...sab kuch jo hua aur nahi hona chahiye tha, nayi zindagi shuru karna chahte hain." (I want to forget...everything that happened and that shouldn't have happened, I want to start afresh.)

Before Bua ji could argue Shashi instructed her not to. They left her with Garima to inform everyone.

Arnav called Dhruv, infuriated for his actions, "Dhruv what the hell are you doing? How could you..."

"Arnav I have done this for Khushi and your happiness, go to her and she'll tell you everything."

Dhruv cut the phone leaving a confused Arnav.

Khushi was half sleeping when Arnav entered and thankfully for Arnav no one was there in the room. Khushi one again felt his presence and opening her eyes she quickly sat up on the bed only to see him at the door. She looked around the room to find it all empty.

Without even glancing at him for second time she ordered, "Leave the room..."

"Khushi..." he said but before he could even finish his sentence she interrupted "I said leave the room"

Ignoring her words he continued to go towards her.

"Khushi I want to..."

"Mr. Raizada I don't wish to sleep with you anymore. I am done with our relation. For your information I am not carrying your child either and even if I would in any case as per your ease I would abort it and if your questions are satisfied you may leave."

Horrified was an understatement for what he felt at her unasked answer. He didn't know what had happened to her all of a sudden but anything that happened was certainly negative. He left the room without saying anything further.

Garima who had gone to washroom to wash her face had stopped when she was coming out as she realized Arnav had come. She partly believed what Khushi said and she hoped that Khushi would at least open her heart to Arnav but what happened was exactly the opposite.

She sat beside Khushi who looked extremely disturbed.

Khushi rested her head on her mothers shoulder.

"Khushi"

"Hmmm..."

"I listened to your and Arnav's conversation,"

"Doesn't matter" said Khushi with a smile.

"Tell me the truth Khushi, why did you decide to marry Dhruv? And why did Dhruv call off the marriage?"

"Amma," said Khushi as she brought her face in front of her face.

" after I came back to Delhi I...slept with..Arnav ji" she said while sobbing and gulping the lumps in her throat while she tried to speak.

"I am sorry, even though I came here for my children but I did...I betrayed my own self..."

Garima wiped her tears.

"unhon ne hume kasam di thi, apni, hamare bachon ki aur hamare pyaar ki ke agli jo cheez who hume karne ko bolenge hum karein ge. Humein laga ki itna sab kuch hone ke baad who cheez humari aur unki shaadi hi hogi lekin"

(he made me swear on him, our children and our love that the next thing he would say me to do I would. I thought that after all that happened that thing could be none other than our marriage but...)

"he asked you to marry Dhruv, right?" concluded Garima.

Khushi nodded. "Then he forced me to have pills which would abort the child or prevent me from conceiving. I refused and then he couldn't make me have them as Anjali ji came. He didn't talk about it anymore but yesterday after I fainted he brought milk for me. I was about to have it but Anjali ji came and she stopped me. She told me that he had dissolved the same pills and was tricking me.

Today Dhruv ji didn't leave me because he didn't love me but because he knew that I still loved Arnav ji and he wants me to give him a second chance."

Garima hugged Khushi.

"Khushi didn't Arnav justify himself before you two..."

"This is my mistake Amma which I have made twice and this is the sole reason he has been able to cheat me..."

"Wouldn't you give him a second chance?"

"No...absolutely not because many times I gave him that chance but indeed as the saying goes that something not meant to be would never be we weren't meant to be too.

Amma I have always hurt you because of my stubborn attitude and silly decisions but I promise I wouldn't ever take any step without your approval now onwards, I'll do whatever you, Bua ji and Babu ji would want me to and nothing else."

Khushi hugged Garima trying to remove all the foul thoughts that had preoccupied her mind when Aleisha and Karan made their way into the room.

Khushi's face lightened up at their sight. They came running and hugged her immediately.

"Mumma..."

Giving both of them a kiss she said "My chillus..."

And then they bursted into a fit of laughter.

"Aleisha are you feeling better now?" asked Khushi as she checked Aleisha's forehead.

"Yes, Dad rook me to doctor before we came here and we have also brought..." as she took out from the bag a box and removed the lid "...a box of jalebies."

She was delighted, elated but the thrill didn't last long.

"Who brought them?" she asked.

"Dad" said Karan as he picked a jalebi.

He knew what would make her happy her children and jalebies but she didn't want anything from him. He couldn't make her happy himself but he needed something else. If he loved her so much, if he wanted her to be happy why did he ever leave her? Why did he make her cry?

Khushi was just as lost in her thoughts when Aleisha patted her arm, "Mumma?"

"Hmm" said Khushi as her trance of thoughts was broken.

She saw Karan holding a jalebi to feed her, "I don't want to eat right now" she said as she fed Karan the same jalebi.

*~*

"Di, why did you call me so urgently from the office?" asked Arnav, as he and Akash sat on the sofa in the lounge. "Yeah Di, you knew that we were about to have an important meeting with the Italian delegates..."

"Arrey baba wait for some more time till everyone comes..."

The entire household started to gather in the hall.

"Khushi ji, Bua ji acha hua aap bhi aa gaye"

Ever since Khushi returned from hospital, Bua ji had shifted their luggage to their old house in laxminagar while Garima and Shashi had gone Mumbai.

Khushi would come Monday to Friday after children returned from school and would go before Arnav came back from office.

Arnav would leave them at laxminagar on weekdays but he was never allowed by Buaji to even step in the house. This way Arnav would never get a single chance to talk to her inspite of his desperation.

Today it was Saturday and Buaji had been quite astonished that Anjali called them in such a hurry.

Anjali began giving sweets to every one and a separate one to Arnav, because of his diabetes guessed Khushi. "Anjali bitiya what is the news, disclose it to us now its been a long wait" said Nani.

Anjali made Payal sit beside Akash, "The thing is that Payal ji and Akash are soon going to have Ayush' little sibling!"

Happiness filled the hall as they heard of a tiny new guest but Arnav's eyes travelled to Khushi. She watched Akash hug Payal, she saw the happiness on the fathers face. She faintly smiled and congratulated Payal and Akash, uneasiness was clearly visible on her face.

She stepped back from the crowd as past began to unfold and flash before her again. Each and everything as vivid as it had been.

She began to feel weak, helpless and suffocated and before anything else she rushed out making sure no one saw her but she was mistaken because since the time the news was told her Devastators eyes never got off her.

She went to the terrace he saw as he followed her but then he stopped.

It was of no use, she didn't want to see him and his presence tortured her more than anything. But he couldn't let her cry, he couldn't make her repent for something he should.

He rushed downstairs, everyone was busy gossiping. Anjali went to the kitchen and he went behind. He caught hold of her arm and began advancing, "Chote! Leave me, don't you see I'm so busy..."

"Di please I need you please come..."

Anjali sensed the tension in his voice as they reached the terrace door.

"Di, she is crying please go console her"

"Khushi ji? But why?"

"Because of me please go,"

"How can I console her Chote for what you have done?"

"Because I can't my sight would hurt her Di please go..."

Anjali went inside, Arnav had been quite right, she was crying buckets.

Anjali rushed to her and hugged her. She caressed her back to make her feel okay but her efforts were of little positive result.

"I'm sorry for what happened Khushi ji but please don't cry don't stress yourself...everything will be fine...everything will be perfect..."
