Now I know what Arnav will do .
He dragged me into a dark room . But we still could see each other . As two golden lamps were shining , though they are very dim .
He was about to kiss me but I pushed him with a lot of force . I ran out of there and landed up in the garden .
I comforted myself beside Aunty . I felt safe beside her .
Slowly the three couples came back . Arnav looked at me . I lowered my gaze .
We had our dinner . I am the slowest in eating . I was still eating while everyone finished theirs .
After eating , I made my way to the kitchen to wash my plate . I washed it and went out of the kitchen . Arnav pulled me and pinned me to the nearby wall .
He is having a small smile on his face .
Arnav : You didn't let me finish there Khushi .
Khushi : Wha .. Wha .. What ?
I started to stammer in nervousness . Hey Devi Mayya !! What is happening to me ?
As he started to near me , i started to push him .
Sudha : Chottey !!
I heard Aunty calling him . Taking advantage of the situation , I pushed him and went out of the house .
He too followed me out .
Arnav : Yes mom .
Sudha : Let's get started ?
Arnav : Okay .
Already they started packing the things . I too helped them . Sheetal and Aman bid adieu to us and made their way home .
We got into the car . First the elders started and then jiju started the car . Now jiji is sitting in the front . Bhabhi and bhayya took jiji and jiju's place while Arnav and me are in our own places .
Aisha is sleeping in her mamma's lap and Manik is sleeping in his mamma's lap .
Even I'm very tired . I feel like sleeping . I rested my head on the seat and dozed down to sleep .
I felt the car stop . I then felt as if I'm sleeping on someone's shoulder. Of course who else it can be ? Arnav
I opened my eyes and raised them to see him . He is looking at me . I straightened myself and got down he car as we reached Raizada mansion .
Arnav and the other men took the baskets and entered the house first . While we were moving slowly talking about random things . This trip made us more closer than ever . Now we felt as we are a true family . We became very close as if we share blood relation . Of course jiji and me are already blood relatives .
Amma and bua ji are sleeping in the other guest room . While I will be sleeping in the same room .
I was going to my room when Arnav again pulled me and pinned me to the wall of his room .
Arnav : No one can interrupt us now .
Khushi : A.. Aa .. Arna .. Arnav .. Leave me .. I .. I have to .. Ggg .. Go .
I am stammering terribly . My breaths and heart beats collided with each other making my condition worse . And Arnav's moving fingers are making my condition even worse . I closed my eyes .
He kissed my forehead first and then my both the cheeks . He trailed his fingers on nape of my neck . He kissed me there . I managed to push him but he wouldn't move even a millimetre as usual .
Khushi : Arnav stop . Please .
Arnav : Not now Khushi .
He whispered in his husky voice .
He took my hand and started to kiss it . This is not right . How can he do all this without any right ?
Khushi : Arnav you have to stop this . You can't do all this .
He didn't listen to me . I stamped his foot and dug my nails in his arms . He hissed in pain and moved a bit .
I pushed him and was about to go when he caught hold of my wrist .
Arnav : I didn't give you the permission to leave .
Khushi : And I don't want your permission to get away from you . You have no rights to stop me .
He folded my hand and pinned it on my back pulling me closer to him .
Arnav : And I don't have the habit of repeating my words twice . I already told you that I'm the only one who decides every damn thing related to you .
He broke a few bangles bruising my wrist again . My wounds healed completely a few days back now again he ended up giving new one .
Arnav : You will not stop me tonight . I will not let you .
I struggled to get rid of his hold which he did .
Khushi : Arnav are you mad or something ? How can you even touch me when we both don't even share a proper relation ?
Arnav : I don't give a damn to all that ! All I care about in this moment is you . And I want you . NOW .
Is he mad ?
Khushi : Are you mad ? Why are you doing all this now ?
Arnav : Everyone around us are happily romancing . Why can't I romance with my girl ?
Khushi : Arnav they all share a relation which we don't !! Can't you get that ?
He is seriously out of his senses now .
Arnav : Do you even know who I am ? There are girls dying for one yes from me and you ? You are not even acknowledging how lucky you are ! Arnav Singh Raizada is giving you such a golden opportunity to be a part of his life and you are rejecting it ?
Khushi : I am not interested in you and your offers . So leave me all alone . I don't want you in my life . In fact I don't want to see you in my whole life .
I yelled at him .
I moved towards the door and he pulled me close . I ended up landing against his strong body . Without losing a chance he placed his hand on my waist .
Khushi : Arnav leave me .
He again started his act . Why is he doing all this ? I am horrified with his actions . I pleaded him with my teary eyes but he is least bothered .
I started pushing him . Why is this happening to me ? Why is he doing all this now ?
He opened the dori of my blouse rashly . He bit me on nape of my neck . He is catching my arm so hardly . My muscle there is aching . An alone tear rolled along my cheek . His other hand is fiddling with buttons of my blouse while he is placing his hard kisses all over my face and neck .
I didn't stop struggling . I will fight him . I sob escaped from my mouth . My tears are not stoping .
Arnav : Stop it Khushi . You know you can never win over me . So stop wasting our time .
He picked me up and placed me on the recliner and opened the safety pin of my saree . I quickly placed my hand on my saree so that it will not fall off making me abashed .
He was about to hover on me . I pushed him on time and stood up . I was about to give a hard slap on his face but he caught my hand .
His eyes are full of rage .
He can do anything now . But this is not the time where I have to be scared and back off . I have to fight back .
Khushi : What do you think of yourself huh ? No other girl rejects you , may be it is because of your money and power . By the way I'm not back of your power or your money . So don't ever try to cross your limits . Got it ? And I'm not one of those girls around you who dream to pleasure you . I'm not one amongst them . I hate you and your touch .
I barked and He clutched my arms and leaned a bit .
Arnav : Okay . So you hate me and my touch ! But you love Arman and his touch , NK and his touch . Don't you ?
He said . No sign of guilt on his face .
Khushi : Stop it Arnav ! Just stop it ! How dare you say something so low of me ? You are pointing out at my character ? You ? With which right are you pointing your finger at me ? You yourself are so cheap . You know what ? You have no character . You are a Character less guy .
I stormed out of his room . I got down the stairs and sat on the sofa .
I started to cry more hard . How can he say that ?
' Character less guy '
But what did I say ? I have to apologise . He will feel very bad . Am I mad ? Just like him ? How can I bad mouth him . I have to go and apologise for that just now .
I took small steps towards his room . I reached the door . I saw him talking to someone .
Arnav : Aman , I don't care ! Do what I said . Now !
So he is talking to Aman . But what he wants now ? I hid behind the wall and leaned over to hear what exactly the matter is .
Arnav : I don't care ! I want a girl now ! Book a room .
He clicked something and threw the phone on bed and opened his wardrobe .
He wants a girl ? My heart broke . Ground beneath shattered as I fisted my saree , composing myself .
Aman : Arnav ? Are you kidding me ? You love Khushi don't you ?
So he turned on the speaker phone .
Arnav : I said , ' I . Don't . Care . ' just do what I said .
Aman : No one will be there for you at this point of time .
He said in a very rough way . I clearly understood that Aman is not interested to do that .
Arnav : Oh ! Earlier I had many who can bed with me at any time ! Now there are none ! Stop fooling me Aman . Get on work .
I can't listen more . I cannot ! I got down and sat on the sofa again .
What is this ? He says he loves me . But he still need others in his life ? I am going blank . I'm not able to think other than this .
I saw Arnav getting down . He stopped and looked at me . I asked him through my eyes . All the questions I have .
He closed his eyes . His hand formed in a perfect fist . He opened his eyes . And started getting down again .
Anjali : Chottey ! Where are you going ?
I cleared my face as soon as I heard Bhabhi's voice .
She saw me and went to her brother .
Arnav : I have some important work di .
Anjali : But Chottey it is very late now !
Arnav : It has to be done now di . At least I can do that with peace there unlike here .
He said looking at me . I got up and went to the poolside . I sat down and bought my kness closer and stared at the moving water .
Anjali : Khushi !
I heard Bhabhi's voice . But I didn't move . She came and sat beside me on the ground . She placed her hand on my shoulder .
Anjali : Look at me Khushi .
I looked at her . Her eyes are teary too . Her voice also vindicated that .
Anjali : I'm sorry Khushi . I was thinking that you are wrong in judging Chottey . But I now realised that he doesn't deserve you and your love .
I started crying again .
Anjali : Don't accept my brother so soon Khushi . Please don't . He first has to prove himself that he deserves you . He just can't keep on hurting you . He can't do that .
She caressed my hair . My tears are not stopping . I placed my visage on Bhabhi's shoulder .
Anjali : Please stop crying Khushi . Please .
Jiji also came and sat beside me on the ground .
Payal : He went out right ?
Bhabhi nodded in approval . Her voice also clearly stated that she is crying .
Payal : How can he do that ? He says he loves her but he still ..
Jiji stopped and a sob escaped from her .
Payal : Don't cry Khushi .
But my tears wouldn't stop today . Why there is so much of pain in his love ?
We remained like that for a long time .
Shyam : What are you three doing here ?
Shyam bhayya entered .
Shyam : Why are you three crying ? What happened ?
He asked worriedly .
Anjali : Chottey aur Khushi ka jagda ho gaya . Aur Chottey bahar Gaye hai doosri ladki ke paas . Apni .. [ Chottey and Khushi had a fight . And Chottey went out to another girl . To .. ]
She stopped and started to cry .
She said what all she knew . But no one knows what exactly happened . Except Arnav and me .
Shyam : What is Arnav doing Anjali ? Is he mad ? Or is he playing with all of us saying that he loves Khush ? Why didn't you call me when all this happened ?
Anjali : Shyam ji Hume kuch samjh mein nahi araha tha . Hum Khush keliye pareshaan ho rahe the [ Shyam I couldn't understand anything . I was tensed for Khush ]
Just then jiju came and jiji told him what happened .
Akaash : Shyam we have to do something . What is wrong with him ? Khushi tell us what exactly happened .
How can I tell them what happened ? How can I tell them that he almost forced me ? I can't make them hate Arnav . I'm sure if I tell them about he forcing me . They will not even look at him in their lives .
I prefer to stay numb .
Payal : Speak something something Khushi .
Anjali : Please Khushi .
Akaash : Khushi staying numb will not gain us anything .
Shyam : Khush please , at least for me you have to tell us what had happened .
I'm not going to tell them at any cost .
Khushi : Nothing bhayya . It is just that we fought . He got angry . He called Aman and ..
Automatically I started to weep .
Akaash : Khushi , stop it . I know Arnav very well . And I know you very well too . You are lying .
I started to weep more .
Anjali : She is not lying bhai . She doesn't want to tell us what exactly happened because ..
Payal : Because she doesn't want us to think bad of Arnav .
I hugged jiji and she hugged me too . All the three of us are crying . [ Anjali , Payal and Khushi ]
Sudha : What are you five doing here ?
We threes cleared our face . And tried to smile .
Akaash : Nothing Chachi , we are just talking .
Sudha : Is everything fine ?
Shyam : Haan . Ma . Sab teekh hai .
She looked at us .
Sudha : Sure ?
Akaash : Yeah
Sudha : Okay then , I think you have to sleep now . It's really late . I came to drink some water .
She smiled and went away .
Akaash : Khush go and sleep . Don't think of him .
I nodded and we all left for our rooms .
But can I stop thinking of him ?
No .
