A small tribute to the never-ending love of Arnav-Khushi that started with hate which tried overcoming the strong pull of love but each time failed miserably. The love of Arnav-Khushi that started with hate & anger but ended with love , care and concern. The marriage that took place amidst the turmoil of love and hate. The marriage that was neither arranged nor love. A forceful marriage that unknowingly bound two Star-crossed lovers to each other for the next seven lives. A forceful marriage that brought them to trust each other, understand each other, know each other, support each other and... And love each other endlessly.
Along with this special day comes another special occasion... Birthday of an amazing person...
Happy Birthday Vani Didu
I Love You Dammit!!!

*sigh*
"Khushi thinks I don't remember what tomorrow is! How can I ever forget that day? That day will always be in me as a dream but also as nightmare. The day I wanted to propose her. The day I wanted to officially make her mine. The day that changed everything between us. The day I misunderstood her. The day I trusted that slime. The day I married her not out of love though." I sighed as I adjusted my position uncomfortably.
Okay okay don't be so confused. I know you must be thinking why is this great ASR shifting uncomfortably when he's on his king size bed. But you all are so wrong my dear. Unfortunately the great ASR is asleep while Arnav is missing his Khushi and so here I, Arnav, am lying down on a thin mattress and gazing at the stars by the pool side just the way Khushi would have done if I were away. And am sure she's doing the same right now. She's watching me. I can feel that.
16th February... This date has a great impact on my life. C'mon tomorrow is my Marriage Anniversary. But this marriage was very unusual. This was the marriage that was meant to happen between Arnav and Khushi while it took place between ASR and Khushi.
That day Di has met with an accident and I had almost lost her. I remember how she had indirectly hinted me to propose Khushi saying when we have something hidden in our heart we must express it else it's too late. We must never let the one we love go far from us. *sigh* After so long I had finally decided to just confess my feelings to Khushi. I had seen her going to the terrace and I had followed her long to be stopped by one of my business associates. Oh! How I much I wished to push that guy aside and rush to Khushi, hug her and tell her that finally her Laad Governor was in love and in love with his Khushi. But the destiny had different plans.
The moment I had started climbing the terrace stairs, my heart had suddenly started beating faster. It always did when I had Khushi near me but that day right at that moment my heart was beating faster for some reason. I had the odd feeling of something happening good or bad no idea. But I was sure this wasn't my condition when Khushi was near me and we both were alone.
Still keeping my thoughts positive, as I learnt from my Khushi, I took slow hesitant steps towards the terrace. Hell I was so nervous that time. The great ASR was nervous just to propose a girl. Funny, isn't it? But that's true I was too nervous to even meet her. Yet taking a deep breath I had taken determined steps forward. No sooner did I open the terrace door, the earth beneath me seemed to slip off. I had seen my love, my life in the arms of who... My own jijaji whom I have lately given a position of my father. I was shocked at the sight. I knew both my so-called jijaji and Khushi. I had known Shyam from since about 4 years and Khushi at that time and entered since abt a few months ago but I knew both well or so was what I thought.
I remember how hurt I was seeing that scene. I didn't know how to react. I had gone to the terrace thinking I'll answer Khushi Mujhe kyun farak padta hai??. Mujhe farak padta hai kyunki woh Khushi hai... Meri Khushi.. Meri Zindagi... Kyunki Pyaar karta hu main usse...
How ironical it is na! I fell in love with her but I failed to trust her. Love is something that comes from trust and here even without trust I claimed to love her.
That day or to say night I heard Shyam confessing his love towards Khushi. The lust which he named as love.
Hum sirf aap se Pyaar karte hai Khushi-ji. Hum Rani Saheba se nahi sirf aapse lyaar karte hai
I can never forget those words uttered by that disgusting pathetic excuse of a man. How dare he even say that he loves my Khushi. That time I, ASR, for the first time din know how to react. I was baffled, shocked, and what not. Somewhere my heart wanted Khushi to slap that idiot not once but twice. But her answer has made the ground beneath me slip off!
Agar aap Anjali-ji se pyaar nahi karte toh chodd kyun nahi dete unhe?
I was more than shocked to react. My senses betrayed me. The girl whom I had loved the most was asking that beast to leave my Di. That time I din even wait for a second longer. On a single day, two people broke my trust or so I thought.
Not staying and listening to the whole conversation was my first mistake and not asking Khushi abt the same my second. Only if that time i won't have been scared to ask her maybe I won't have made her cry for the 5 months. *sigh* I don't know too feel happy or sad. Tomorrow is the day when I had married in front of Devi Maiyaa with her blessings. Should o feel happy and proud for a loving, caring and protective wife I got that day? Or should I feel sad that bcoz of me this Angel head cried?
*beep* *beep*
-Stop thinking so much about me. My hiccups aren't stopping ;-)
-What to do Khushi? Am missing you a lot Jaan.
-Your bad luck. I had asked you if I can go and you had agreed. So now pay for it :P
-Yes I had to agree. After all it's your favorite sister Vani's Birthday tomorrow. How can I deny her wish to have you beside her that day? Wish her on my behalf too.
-You know you're the best human being in the world Arnav
-Oh! Is that bcoz I allowed you to go to Vani or for something else?
-Hawww! U think this is why I said u that?
-Relax Jaan I'm just joking. Why aren't you asleep yet?
-Was missing you a lot.
-Me too. You're looking at mumma, Amma and Babuji, aren't you?
-You know me too well Arnav. They'll be so happy seeing us like this
-Yep. And proud too
*wait*
Even after 5 minutes passed, when Khushi didn't reply, I assumed Khushi to have slept off and so leaving a quick msg to her, I was abt to sleep
-Seems my Jaan is too tired. Good night. Sweet dreams. Take care... I love you... Dammit!!!
I closed his eyes to get some sleep when I felt someone hug me from my waist and lay down beside me. I was about to open my eyes but then relaxed as I smelt her fragrance. Her breath fanning over my nape as she leaned in and kissed my cheeks tenderly before speaking, "Hum bhi aapse I Love You Dammit!!!"
"Won't Vani feel bad for u coming here leaving her birthday party?"
"Nope She's understanding... Unlike u"
"What the!"
"I love you Dammit!!!"
"I love you too Dammit!!!
Love,
Shreya
