Chapter Two: Decision
Khushi wrapped her arms around her waist, trying to hold herself together, hoping that the small physical action would also be able to provide her with some semblance of mental strength. She couldn't fall apart now, not after what had happened.
She needed to find Arnavji...needed to tell him the truth.
Would he believe you?, spoke a voice at the back of her head. What if he Jiji's the wedding?
She closed her eyes against the pain that thought brought along with it. Her family would be devastated if that happened, but she couldn't wait.
She had seen something in Shyam's eyes tonight, something dangerous, when he spoke about getting rid of Anjaliji...like he had made plans for it already, plans that had nothing to do with a divorce.
Shyam was greedy by nature, he would never give up the luxurious lifestyle being a Raizada damad provided to him, which meant that he would find some other way to get rid of Anjaliji. Once Khushi came to that realization, she could'nt keep quiet anymore.
She had been hoping that he would change for the better, that Anjaliji's love would make him see sense, but she realized that she had been wrong. Nothing would change that scum. He was a man possessed, and he would go to any lengths to get what he wanted.
She knew she wasn't getting out of this intact. Arnavji would'nt take lightly to being kept in the dark for so long. He would hold her responsible, and she was prepared for that. She only hoped that he would believe that her family was innocent, and not do something rash, like stop the wedding.
But she had made up her mind, she wouldn't let any harm come to Anjaliji.
This ends today, whatever the consequences.
