Khushi: Anjali ji you're taking it all wrong, please listen to me.

Arnav's head snapped upto to look at Khushi, waiting eagerly for her to prove everything wrong.

Anjali: Don't you dare try to fool me with your talks. Shyam ji has told me everything.
Khushi: I don't know what he has told you Anjali ji, but trust me I didn't tried to break your house. I didn't even knew he is your husband till few days ago and today also I have asked him to leave you... Interrupted by Anjali.
Anjali: Look she is herself telling , I never knew you can stoop so low.
Khushi: No! I agree I have told him to leave you but not because I want him for myself or I want to break your relationship. I told him to leave you because you don't deserve someone so cheap like him, he don't love you Anjali ji, he is living with you just because of your money.
I asked him to leave you because you don't deserve a man like him who is behind some other girl even after being married.
Khushi(turning to Arnav): Arnav ji trust me I can never think so cheap, I knew I did a mistake by hiding about Shyam ji from you and Anjali ji but I never had bad intentions. Looking at how high Anjali ji thinks of her husband, I didn't had the heart to tell her how her same husband is lus... Lusting over some other girl.
Arnav closed his eyes in pain and disgust but instantly opened them again hearing Anjali shouting.
Anjali: Enough! I have listened enough of your crap. If you think you can again fool us by your fake tears and few emotional words then you're wrong.

Khushi looked at Arnav, her eyes pleading him to trust her.
Khushi: Anjali ji... Interrupted by Anjali.
Anjali: I never want to see your face around me and my family, just go away from our life.
Khushi closed her eyes painfully and was walking towards Gupta's when Anjali's words boomed in the hall shaking her with every being present there.
Anjali(looking at Gupta's): If you want Payal to stay happily here, don't you dare to help her or keep her with yourself. Because if you decide to support Khushi then take Payal also with you or leave Payal here but after that forget that you have other daughter except Khushi and you'll never try to meet her.
All gasped , Arnav looked at Anjali shocked , unable to believe how his sweet Di is spitting fire.
Nani: What are you saying bitiya? Don't be so heartless! But Anjali choosed to ignore it and looked pointedly at Gupta's for answer.
Madhumati(Bua ji): No bitiya don't say that! Don't punish my payaliya. I'll never let this girl enter in my house, I knew she is problem in our life, but I never thought she'll stoop so low.
Khushi looked at them shocked as Garima supported Buaji, her body felt numb as she forgot to breath.
Khushi(scared): Am... Amma!
Garima: Don't call me that and Go away from our life. I did a big mistake by taking you with me, she turned her face away.
Khushi felt suffocated, how can they do this to her instead of supporting her. They should be supporting her, telling truth to Raizada's and here they're leaving her alone, helpless. Shouldn't Bua ji tell that it was her constant nagging because if which she agreed to marry Shyam ji when she was not even ready for that relation.
Khushi was so lost in her thoughts that she was completely unaware of her surroundings. Her daze broke when she felt Anjali holding her wrist harshly.
Anjali: How shameless you are? Didn't you heard we all don't want to see your face, just leave from here.
Khushi looked at her blankly , still in shock with reality when Anjali started dragging her.
Anjali: Let me myself throw you out!
Khushi(crying): Please don't do this Anjali ji! Trust me I am speaking truth, I never tried to trap Shyam ji.
Khushi: Amma please tell her, I am innocent.
Khushi: Jiji atleast you help me, Payal looked down crying unable to meet her eyes.
Khushi: Nani ji you are elder to us, atleast you try to understand, do you think I can be so cheap? Nani averted her eyes confused.
Khushi: Arnav ji! She called him helplessly who have his palms in perfect fist , his nails digging the inside of his palm, his eyes closed.
Arnav's eyes instantly opened to meet her's hearing her calling him so helplessly.
Arnav looked how her eyes pleaded him to believe her, believe her that she is not what others are saying, believe at her innocence, her plea to believe in her. He wanted to scream that he believes her , he doesn't believe on what others saying, he wanted to tell her "I Believe in You."
Khushi: Arnav ji please trust me! Give me a chance to prove my innocence, please stop Anjali ji. Where will I go?
Anjali: My chotte will never support a girl who tried to break her Di's household. Understood?
Anjali: Get the hell out of our Life! Saying this she pushed her harshly.
Khushi(screamed): Arnav ji But before she can fall down and hurt her head with flower pots placed there. She was held back by someone, one hand resting on her waist and other was around her back, holding her from sideways.
------------------------------
Khushi slowly opened her eyes realizing who is holding her, she held his hand on her stomach, squeezing it and looked up to meet his chocolate brown eyes.
Khushi: Ar... Arnav ji!
Others looked shocked finding Arnav supporting Khushi.
Anjali: Chotte what are you doing? Leave her and Come inside.
Arnav: No Di! Khushi is not going anywhere!
Anjali: Chotte?
Arnav: If Khushi is guilty then Your husband is also culprit Di, in fact more than her. How can he have affair with someone even when he is married?
Anjali: What do you mean?
Arnav: If you want Khushi to go away, you should be first throwing that bas***d out.
Anjali(screaming): Chotte!
Arnav: I am speaking right Di.
Anjali: He have asked for forgiveness Chotte! He said how Khushi was trying to trap him and he got mis leaded for sometime.
It's Khushi's mistake if she'll try allure a man having no shame that he is also a men Chotte.
Arnav(laughing sarcastically): Really Di? That's what stupid excuse you came up with? Then sorry to say Di, if your husband is unable to control his desires like some teenage guy than he don't have a character Di.
Anjali: Chotte! How could you say that? You know I am pregnant, I need him chotte and he was trapped by her. He has already asked forgiveness from me, he is really regretting.
Arnav: Di by supporting your husband you're proving me wrong. I have hated our father all my life for betraying Mumma. You are speaking Dadi's language who never found her son guilty, instead blamed that other women and our Mumma who was unable to keep Dad happy therefore he moved to another women.
Anjali: Chotte..
Arnav: Yes Di! So do you believe you was unable to keep him happy?
Anjali: Stop Chotte! Please stop. I don't want to think anything else, me and my baby needs Shyam ji, also he have promised he'll never do such thing again.
Arnav(sarcastically): and you believed him?
Anjali: Yea!
Arnav: Ok but then Khushi also deserves a chance.
Anjali: No! She have to go away.
Arnav: Why? I tell you because you still don't believe your husband, and you're insecure that he'll again come behind her. Anjali averted her eyes without saying anything.
Arnav held Khushi's shoulder helping her to come inside when Anjali again started speaking.
Anjali: Shyam ji is my husband, so it's my wish if I want to give him a chance but this girl is no one to us. Even her own family is ashamed of her, so she needs to leave.
Arnav looked at Gupta's with scrutinizing gaze before he continued to walk inside with Khushi.
Anjali: Chotte I said she can't enter inside this house again.
Arnav: This is my house also Di!
Arnav: Come Khushi.
Khushi: No! Arnav looked at Khushi beside him.
Khushi: No Arnav ji ! She is right now I have no relation left here for me and I don't want to create any distance between other's relation because of Me.
Khushi: I'll be always thankful for supporting me but she is right I should go away. She slide his hand from her shoulder and turned to go but stopped feeling tug on her wrist and again turned back to look at Arnav who was holding her wrist but he was looking ahead.
Arnav dragged her inside with himself ignoring her rants and voices of family and stopped only when he reached on Mandap.
Khushi: Leave me Arnav ji!
Arnav: You want to leave because you don't have anyone here, right?
So, I am giving you the reason to stop, now stand quite!
Arnav(turning to utterly shocked pandit): You don't have any problem to chant mantra's for another wedding. Do you? Pandit shakes his head in denial where all other family member gasped in shock.
Arnav(shouting): HP... HP
HP: Yes Bhaiya!
Arnav: Where are those extra varmala's? Give them here now! HP nodded and ran away to come back with varmala as pandit ji made arrangements to perform marriage.
*Extension will be added* (It has blog part also therefore I am not posting it now, I first have to post it in blog)
Anjali: Chotte Stop this nonsense!
Arnav: Pandit ji you continue.
Khushi: Arnav ji please!
Arnav(whispering so only she can hear): Khushi do what I am saying if you trust me. That was enough to shut her quiet and she did everything quietly without a word.

They completed saat (seven) phere, Arnav filled her partition with sindoor, Khushi was all the while looking down. She looked up when Arnav was tying Mangalsutra and a tear roll down from her eyes before she closed them looking away.

------------------------
Arnav: I don't think now there's any problem if Khushi stays here.
Anjali(walking close to Arnav): Chotte how could you do this? I think she has trapped you also.
Arnav: Di I am not a low character like your husband who can be easily trapped by any chit of a girl. I am supporting her because it's completely wrong on our part if we threw her out of our life. If your husband can get a chance, so why not Khushi?
Anjali: You are comparing my husband with this girl?
Arnav: No. I am supporting my wife like you are supporting your husband.
Anjali(looking at Khushi): Congrates have successfully snatched my brother from me. I did a grave mistake by trusting you and letting you enter in our lives.
Garima: Today you have proved you're not our blood. Your intentions were always wrong, you has trapped Arnav bitwa behind our back?
Khushi stood quite gulping all the pain when Garima shouted.
Garima: Now why are quiet? Just go away it's still not late.

Khushi kept looking down remembering Arnav's words "To trust him and do what he says."
Frustrated Garima was going to slap her when her hand stopped midway, Garima looked sideways to see Arnav holding her hand, his eyes red with anger.

Arnav: Mrs. Gupta just sometime ago you had broken your every relation with her, Now she is my wife and I have not given the right to even touch my wife to anyone forget about slapping her, saying this he jerked her hand away.
All look shocked but before they can say something, they found Khushi swaying and before she can hit the floor Arnav catches her abd lifting her in his arms he marched inside his room.

After laying her carefully on his bed, he has walked out to warn his family to not say anything to Khushi.
PRESENT
Now he walked inside the room to find Khushi concious and sitting in front of dressing table like some statue.
Arnav walked towards her closing the door behind him when she didn't responded.
Khushi jerked up standing abd turned to Arnav when Arnav kept his hand on her shoulder.
Khushi: I didn't tried to trap him, trust me I am not a bi**h. Anjali ji has just listen incomplete conversation between us.
Please trust me I just hate him, I never tried to trap him, he's lying. She cried holding his hands and Arnav looked stunned as she went hysterical trying to tell that she's innocent.
Looking at Khushi, Arnav understood that events of evening has shaken her badly and she's still in shock. He tried to control her but she continued to shout, scream, begging him to believe her and he had enough.
Arnav(shouted): Enough! Just shut up women.
Khushi went silent, looking like a lost puppy who was searching for guidance.
Khushi(stammering): I ... I am ... So.. Sorry!
Arnav pulled her for a hug as she cried on his chest, her hands still hanging on her sides. Arnav rubbed her back to calm her down.
Khushi: Arnav ji please believe me, I don't... Interrupted by Arnav.
Arnav: shhh... I know!
Khushi(looked up from his chest): You mean you believe me? She asked him innocently.
Arnav(tucking her fringes behind her ears): You are here just because of My believe in YOU.

Arnav(kissing her forehead): I don't know why I believe in you when everything and everyone is against you but My heart took over my mind and I did what I felt best.

Khushi cried hugging him this time as Arnav engulfed her in his arms, letting her cry.
Khushi: I lost everyone Arnav ji! How can they just do this to me? It was so easy for them to break all relations with me and make me orphan again?
Arnav: Don't cry over them Khushi, they don't deserve it.
Arnav: Will you tell me something if I ask? Khushi nodded hugging him tightly.
Arnav: How do you exactly know Shyam? Why didn't you told about it earlier.
Khushi looked up into his eyes which only encouraged her, so she told him everything from the , how Shyam entered in her life saving her from goons after that video release, him staying as PG in their house, Bua ji compelling her tp get engaged with Shyam, how she got to know the truth on the day of hawan, her breaking engagement with Shyam to the today's events of terrace.
Khushi(crying): I didn't told it earlier because I don't wanted to hurt you or Anjali ji. I thought once Jiji is married, I'll go away to Lucknow and everything will be Alright but I didn't knew everything will be destroyed before it.
-----------------------
After sometime when Khushi stopped crying, Arnav got up from the recliner on which they both were sitting and came back within a moment.
Arnav held Khushi's hand and made her to stand before him, and looked straight into her eyes.
Arnav: Khushi do you trust me?
Khushi(confused): Yes
Arnav: then stop thinking too much, I'll take care of that Shyam, he'll be very soon out of our life.
Khushi: Ok
Arnav: But for now I want to do something, for which I was waiting for all the evening, Khushi looked at him confused.
Arnav: I Love You.
Khushi looked stunned at him, waiting for him to say that he was just joking. How can Laad Governer love her? But all she found there was Love and she can she he was very much serious.
Khushi: Really? Arnav nodded and Khushi cried happily.
Arnav: And before the day ends "Happy Valentine's day" he said forwarding a red rose to her and she hugged him taking flower from him.
Khushi: Happy Valentine's Day!
Arnav pulled out from the hug and looked at her, caressing his cheeks looking at her blushing face, he smiled.
Arnav: There's something I wanted to do from the night of Diwali and I don't think I can wait anymore.

Before Khushi could even understand anything, Arnav's mouth was covering her, kissing her feverishly. Khushi closed her shocked eyes in next second kissing him back and the clock chimed showing time 12:00 am, completing the day of Valentine's, connecting two star crossed lovers to each other Forever.
Next Morning
Khushi woke up to find Arnav missing and there was red flowers on his side of bed, she smiled and got up, sniffing there fragrance when Arnav entered inside the room carrying a tray. Khushi blushed and clutched bed sheet more tightly around her bosoms.
Arnav(sitting beside her): good morning Mrs. Raizada!
Khushi: Good morning, she tried to stand up only to fell back with the pain on her lower body.
Arnav: Relax and sit back! have this pain killer and coffee, it'll soothe your pain.
Khushi nodded and did as he told.
Arnav: Feeling ok?
Khushi: Yea!
Arnav: let's get fresh, then we'll go downstairs for breakfast.
Khushi's eyes suddenly got wet and she nodded in No.
Khushi: Everyone hates me there Arnav ji.
Arnav: But I love you! Even Payal and Akash with us.
Khushi looked at him confused.
Arnav: yea i just met them , payal has told everything to Akash and she is herself ashamed to face you because she was unable to support you yesterday. she has asked forgiveness, Mrs, Gupta has given ought to her to not speak anything.
Khushi nodded and hugged him
Khushi:I Love you
Arnav: I Love you too! and I Believe in you Khushi!
I promise you everything will be alright soon.
The END.
