Part one

It has been two years since Khushi had married Arnav. Both were happily married and completely in love with each other and by that, I mean by mad head over heels in love type. After the Sheetal fiasco, Arnav decided that it was high time that he put Khushi first in front of everyone's need. They needed a change. Ever since they married, the first time and the second time round, they had not been able to spend much time alone and were always surrounded by family, even Laxmi. After a short honeymoon to Maldives, Arnav had surprised Khushi by taking her to their new apartment. It took a while to persuade everyone about his decision, but eventually agreed that they needed time together as a couple. While they were enjoying a romantic dinner on their balcony surrounded by a romantic setting, Khushi's phone started to ring. When she answered, there was no reply. Arnav and Khushi thought that it must have been a wrong number, but after a while they phone rang again, but this time Khushi got a reply.

Khushi: Hello

Stranger: I LOVE YOU

Khushi who was shocked to the core: What, who are you?

But stranger cut the call before the conversation could proceed. Khushi felt a bit scared, which Arnav did not fail to notice.

Arnav: What happened love. Did they say anything

Khushi: They did. They said I love you this time.

Arnav: What the. How dare he. Whoever this is, I am not going to leave him.

You see, this nightmare had begun about a six months ago when Khushi had visited Lucknow for a wedding with the entire Raizada and Gupta family. Of course Arnav was not able to stay without her, so he attended the wedding with them. After they returned to Delhi, Khushi started to receive strange calls which were different each time. Sometimes she would receive creepy complements such as they liked what they saw, what she was doing, what she was wearing, who she was with. These past months started to become a nightmare in Khushi's life. She was beginning to feel terrified of doing anything in her life. Up to a month back, Arshi thought that the prank calls ended, however that was not the case. Arnav had enough of who ever was scaring his wife and wanted to catch as soon as possible. He decided to call the police commissioner and report that everything had started again and he needed this man to be captured. In the past six months since Khushi started to receive the calls, Arnav had quietly got the police involved, however they were unable to trace who it was. They had tapped all the phones that Arnav and Khushi had access to, but every time they decided to trace the call, they were unsuccessful as the call was from a private number and before they could trace the call, the stranger would end the call.

Just then the door bell rang and Arnav went to answer, with a petrified Khushi behind him, however when they opened the door no one was there, except for a basket of roses along with a card which had I love Khushi written in blood. The sight of this had Khushi shaking and she had broken down on the floor. Arnav hated seeing his wife in this condition and cursed this man who is putting his love through a bad time. Instead of getting security onto who came into the building, he needed to comfort Khushi who had become inconsolable. Once he managed to calm Khushi down, he called the police commissioner and told him what happened. Arnav was advised to stay with Khushi at all times and anything may happen and to keep her calm as all this stress could cause some health problems. After finishing the phone call, he decided that Khushi needed to rest, but knew after the events that followed on from the evening, it would be hard for Khushi to sleep, so he heated up some milk for her and added sleeping tablets to help her sleep. Once Khushi drifted of to sleep, Arnav vowed that who ever was tormenting his wife would not be spared. It was only a matter of time.

amazing...cont. soon..

Nice start

Part 2

Arnav spent most of that night figuring out this villainous puzzle that has been not only distress Khushi day and night, but also tormenting Arnav. Since this hell had begun, Arnav decided to track of who is calling them at all times, whether it was their mobile phones or their landline, to track who ever this was, but as always, they kept receiving private calls and it was almost impossible to find the culprit. Along with the phone calls, there were photos of Khushi. There wasn't just one or two, there were many photos there that Arnav was able to recognise when these photos were taken. Surprised was an understatement, he was shocked to the core as most of these photos were taken from when the first visited Buaji's home together as a couple, from their engagement, their wedding, Holi, Diwali and other times they spent with their family whether it was during their picnic, visit to the farmhouse, or just shopping. For a minute he thought that it could be Shyam, but he scratched that idea as there was no way in hell that could have been him as he was killed in a police encounter whole trying to escape prison last year. There were a few old photos that Arnav had never seen before. These were photos taken in Lucknow during school and college, but there were also photos that were snapped around Lucknow. Logic started to tick in Arnav's mind that this person could possibly be connected to Khushi's past. But who could it be. Maybe it was time that Arnav informed the family of what was happening. Khushi had started to stir in her sleep and Arnav decided that even though he couldn't put the puzzle together. He put everything back to it's own place and join Khushi. Once Arnav pulled Khushi towards him, she instantly calmed down and was able to go back to sleep.

Next morning...

Arnav: Hey, Good morning jaan

Khushi: Goodmorning Arnav

Arnav: Did you sleep well?

Khushi (smiling): How could I not sleep well without you by my side.

Arnav: Good

Khushi saw that Arnav was dressed and asked: Are you going somewhere?

Arnav: Not me, we are going to spend time with our family today. Everyone is looking forward to seeing us.

Khushi: Really! I have been wanting to see them for a while, but you know

Arnav: Hey, don't worry about that person. I will catch him one day, but today we going to see everyone so you can relax and take your mind off everything that is happening. Any way, go and get ready and then we can leave after breakfast. How does that sound?

Khushi: That sounds good.

Khushi got out off bed and headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day, whereas Arnav headed off to the kitchen to make breakfast. Since they had moved into their own home, to help Khushi, Arnav started to spend some time in the kitchen and learnt a few things about cooking. By the time Khushi was ready and came out of their room and headed to the kitchen where she found her life getting their breakfast ready. Arnav became aware of her presence when she wrapped he arms around his waist, kept her chin on his left shoulder and pecked his cheek.

Arnav (smirking): Jaan, I do have lips that you could kiss even though I loved the peck you just gave.

Khushi: I love you

Arnav: I love you too. Are you ready?

Khushi: hmmm. I just remembered the first time you made breakfast for me.

Arnav: That was a disaster. I didn't know that making paratha was going to be that tough. I was covered in flour from top to bottom

Khushi was unable to contain her laughter anymore: That is a scene that I will never forget.

Arnav also couldn't help but chuckle a little: Yeah whatever. Come on, lets go and eat so when can leave as soon as we can

Khushi: Lets go, I'll help take all this out to the dining table.

Arnav was feeling relieved seeing Khushi happy and excited to see their family. He only wished that he could get some kind of help from Khushi's family to know more about her life before she met him. Once they cleaned up, Khushi went to her room to get her bag she felt something flash at her. She looked outside the bedroom window and saw a slight shadow, however she couldn't find anyone on their balcony, but soon brushed the scared feeling that she just had by dismissing what happened as nothing. Arnav came in only to see Khushi looking very confused.

Arnav: Khushi, are you okay?

Khushi: Huh

Arnav: Khushi, you okay na baby?

Khushi: I think so.

Arnav: You think so. What happened?

Khushi: I just came to get my bag before we left and felt something flashing at me a few times as if someone was taking photos from our balcony, but I couldn't see anyone there. Must have been nothing.

Arnav: Maybe, but how can someone else be on our balcony when our apartment door is locked and we are on the 20th floor. Anyway lets go. Everyone is waiting for us.

Khushi: Lets go.

Arnav took what he needed with him and left with Khushi after locking everything. They couldn't wait to see everyone at home and Arnav was nervous as to what Amma would tell him about Khushi's past. Meanwhile, as soon as Arnav and Khushi left their safe haven, a intruder made himself comfortable in the couple's room on the side that Khushi slept.

Intruder: What ever happens, you are only mine Khushi, only mine.

Any thoughts on who the intruder is

Nice
Who is the stalker????

Let the stalker be, I'm interested in knowing how Arnav tackles this issue.

Part 3

Arnav and Khushi had finally reached Shantivan where everyone welcomed them back home with open arms. Arnav knew that the moment that they reach Shantivan, he wouldn't be able to keep Khushi to himself for much longer. When they went inside, they didn't see Buaji, Amma and Bauji and upon asking Payal told them that Akash was about to go and pick them up. Arnav found this as a good opportunity and told everyone that instead of Akash, he will go and pick them up. Without raising any suspicion, he made an excuse that there was something important that he needed to pick up and that he will bring them with him on the way back. Satisfied with his answer, everyone took Khushi inside, and Arnav sped off from Shantivan to head to his destination. Once he reached the Gupta's residence, Buaji was surprised as she was expecting Akash to pick them up, not Arnav.

Buaji: Arnav bitwa are you here to pick us up instead of Akash?

Arnav: Yes Buaji, but before we leave, I needed to talk to you if that's okay.

Buaji: Why not. This is also your home.

Garima: Arnav bitwa

Arnav: I'm here to pick you all up instead of Akash, but I need to talk to you before we leave.

Buaji: You two sit down and talk, I will go get Shashi Babua and make some tea for you

Arnav: Thanks Buaji, but I don't think you should make tea just yet

Buaji (slightly confused): Ok. I will get Shashi here.

While Garima and Arnav waited for Buaji and Shashi to come, Arnav took out the photos that he bought with him to his in-law's home and by then Buaji and Shashi had come into the living room.

Garima: Is everything okay Arnav?

Arnav: Amma, Bauji, Buaji before I say anything, I need you to remain calm because what I am about to tell may leave you frightened for Khushi

Buaji: What happened. Is everything okay with Titaliya.

Arnav started to narrate the hell that he and Khushi had been through ever since they all returned from Lucknow up until this morning. He also showed them the photos of Khushi that were sent to their apartment during this time. This left the trio shocked.

Arnav: I can recognise most of these photos as they were taken after we met, but there are photos that I can clearly see that are from before I had met Khushi. If there is something that I should know, please tell me. This may be a way to end this nightmare and to bring back some peace in our lives.

Garima: Hey Devi Maiyya. Please don't let it him.

Arnav: Him? Who are you talking about Amma?

Buaji: Bitwa, this isn't the first time that this has happened with Titaliya. This is another reason why Shashi and Garima sent Khushi and Payal to live with me in Delhi.

Garima: Arnav bitwa, none of us thought that this would happen again, but it is. Around one or two years before you met Khushi, we sent her to college to complete her education as it was her parent's dream. You know how she is a foodie, she decided that she will become a chief and expand Shashi's business, along with this, she studied some business subjects .

Arnav: She never told me that she attended college

Buaji: But she unable to complete her degree.

Arnav: What, but why?

Garima: Half way through her second year, she started to receive strange notes. At first she ignored them and thinking it was nothing as these notes were short poems. Slowly she started to receive long letters followed by blank calls. When ever that person called he never spoke to any of us but when Khushi answered the calls, she would start feel scared. She told us that whenever "he" called, he would say things like that he loves her and wants to marry her, warning to her to stay away from other men even if they were related to her. One time we received a parcel outside our front door addressed to Khushi. Khushi was very hesitant to open the parcel so Payal opened it for her and found a bridal suit and Khushi's photo the had blood where he forehead is. The phone rang at that moment and Shashi answered it

~~~~Flashback~~~~

Shashi: Hello

Intruder: Namaste Sasurji. How did you like the little gift that I sent for my would be wife?

Shashi: How dare you send all this. Who are you?

Intruder: Patience Sasurji patience. Patience pays off. Now tell Khushi not to be scared. Tell her to be happy as the man that she loves will come to marry her soon and that man is me. Till then don't you dare get Khushi married to someone else or else the consequence will be very bad.

~~~~Flashback ends~~~~

Buaji: After that Khushi was very scared. She refused to go anywhere and she eventually stopped going to college. That man continued to torment her. We complained to the police, but they couldn't find out who was following Khushi. Our neighbours came to about this as outside on our gate there was a big heart shape and written inside that was I love you Khushi'. Some of the neighbours started to talk about this and spread rumours whereas other neighbours were supportive and kept an eye out.

Garima: Khushi was even more frightened to go out anywhere. This continued for a few months. Payal's wedding was coming up, we needed to go shopping but we couldn't leave Khushi at home because that man knew where we lived. This started to die down, but we didn't know till when. Khushi slowly started to come out of the wall she built around herself in those months and kept herself mind busy and excited for her big sister's weeding. After Payal's wedding you know what happened and she came to Delhi. After talking to jiji everyday, we were relieved that Khushi was back to being herself and no one is bothering her.

Arnav: Apart from Shyam. But Amma do you know who it could have been?

Garima: No. We tried our best, but couldn't find who was behind Khushi.

Buaji: Shouldn't we be going. Everyone is probably wondering where we are.

Arnav: Yea. Khushi must be going crazy wondering where we are. Lets go

The four of them soon drove off to Shantivan. Once they reached there, Khushi excitedly ran to her mother but emotions got the best of her and she broke down. Everyone, but Arnav, Buaji and Khushi's parents, was surprised to see Khushi breaking down. They all thought that since these two moved into their own home, Khushi was probably missing them more, little did they know it was something big.

Garima: It's okay Khushi. Arnav bitwa has told us what has happened. When you have your husband with you, there is no reason to be scared.

Khushi looked at Arnav who told her t that her parents and Buaji knew what was going on. The Raizada family were confused now as they didn't know what was going on. As soon as Garima took Khushi to their room, Arnav told his family everything that had been going on including what he had found out about Khushi's past. Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that their Arnav and Khushi had been going through months of hell and that that they had no clue.

Manorama Mami: Arnav bitwa, you could have told us earlier and rather than staying back at your apartment, you two should have come back here.

Nani: Manorama is right. Just remember that you both can come back home any time.

Payal: I never thought that this will happen again.

Arnav: Don't worry Payal. Who ever is after Khushi won't be able to hide from me for much longer.

loved the update, hoping for Arnav to catch this stalker.

Part 4

While Arnav revealed what was happening to the family downstairs, Garima calmed Khushi and told her that Arnav knew what had before she came to live in Delhi. Khushi was worried how Arnav was going to react, but Garima reassured Khushi that it would fine and that Arnav did say that he wasn't angry as it natural that she would want to forget all that as a bad dream and then right on cue Arnav walked in. Along with Garima, he reassured Khushi that it was normal that she didn't want to recount those days. Garima decided to go downstairs and leave the couple to talk.

Arnav: Khushi what ever happens you are always going to find me by your side.

Khushi: Arnav I didn't know that this will happen again. I just wanted to forget this a frightening nightmare.

Arnav: It's okay. You can always talk about anything. We are going to get through this.

Khushi: When this all started, I slowly started to get nightmares.

Arnav: What, but Amma and Buaji didn't tell me this.

Khushi: Only Payal jiji and Bauji knew. I didn't want Amma and Buaji stressing out when this all happened. I was so terrified of the thought of looking outside from the window. I never found out who was behind all this. I wish that whoever he is, he just leaves my alone and let me move on. I am sick of living a life where I'm too scared to do anything.

Arnav (wiping her tears): You don't need to be scared. I will always protect you. I won't let that sick man's shadow even touch you. Come on, everyone is waiting for us. I just want you to relax and forget what we are going through at the moment. Be yourself. I want to see my old Khushi, crazy, food addict Khushi.

Everyone decided to not talk about that man and did their best to distract Khushi from thinking about what was happening and they eventually succeeded. They watched Khushi's favourite movies, ate all day long, talked about the fun times, had lunch and dinner together, and basically lazed around for the remainder of the day. Today had definitely put Khushi's mind at ease, especially with her husband there with her. Soon it was time to head home. They entered their apartment carefree. So far it had been a very good day that went smoothly and Arnav Singh Raizada was in a very romantic mood. Once he made sure that all the doors and windows were shut and before Khushi could get away Arnav caught her by the waist. He started to tease her by kissing her. He was in no mood to let go of her tonight. Before he could go further, Khushi ran out of Arnav's arms to their room. Just as Arnav was about to chase after her, he heard her scream. As quick as lightening, Arnav ran to their room to where Khushi stood petrified. Before he asked her what happened, he followed her gaze to their mirror where there was blood. The blood on the mirror had been used to write a message on the mirror for Khushi:

"To the love of my life, Khushi

So I see that you are enjoying your married life. I'm sure you remember the threat I gave your father when you were living in Lucknow. You have forgotten right. Let me remind you, I warned him not to get you married and what did you do, you went and got married. Fine, you made a mistake. But remember I will make sure that you do not remain too long with your husband. I will be coming for you and I will remove any obstacle that blocks my way to you. You are mine and no one else's.

By the way, remember our encounter this morning on the balcony. You thought it must have been nothing, but you were wrong. I was there watching your every move, listening to word that came out of your precious mouth and capturing your beauty in my mind.

I LOVE YOU KHUSHI

Just this one message gave them shivers. What frightened Khushi further was that if this man can write a message using blood, he could do anything. Arnav could not leave Khushi by herself anymore. If this man can enter their bedroom, then he can reach Khushi any time. He quickly took a picture of the message and forwarded it to the police commissioner that was helping Arnav out. Now he had to somehow divert Khushi's mind. Khushi hadn't reacted. She just stood there staring at the mirror. Arnav tried to shake Khushi to bring her attention back. She sprinkled face on her face, she still stood there like a statue. He couldn't take her reaction. It scared him to hell that he may lose her and he didn't want to take that chance. He tried his least resort to bring Khushi out of her state of shock. He passionately kissed her until she responded and without breaking the kiss, he took her to bed. After a while, he finally felt her respond to his kiss, but he could also feel her wet cheeks.

Arnav: Khushi nothing is going to happen. I am not let anything happen to you or let anyone come in between us. I can't lose you.

Khushi: I'm really scared. It's happening again and I still don't know after all these years who is after me. I can't take it.

Arnav: Khushi look at me. Do you think I will let anything happen to you? Shyam and Sheetal tried to come between us, but we didn't let that happen and we came out stronger. Just like last time we will overcome this. Who ever that sick man is, I won't leave him.

The night was spent reassuring one another that they are there through the waves of passion they showed each other. They woke up the next morning feeling different. Khushi felt more protected and Arnav felt more determined to catch the culprit. He decided that he will work from home and if there is a meeting, Khushi will go with him, not that Khushi minded as she didn't want to be alone or with anyone else other than Arnav. After breakfast and Arnav got straight into his work. It was almost lunch time when Khushi just finished cleaning the apartment. She was about to go in the kitchen to make lunch when she came across an envelope. When she opened the envelope to see what was inside, she found a couple of pictures that were from before she got married. It was taken the year before she met Arnav on Diwali. This was a picture that had her and Payal along with Payal's friends from college (and yes Payal also went to college where she a short course on designing). She found it odd as she had never seen this picture. Before she showed Arnav the photo, the doorbell rang and Arnav went to open the door to see who it was. Akash and Payal and dropped by as Akash needed to discuss some work related things with Arnav, whereas Payal tagged along to give Khushi some company while their husbands discussed their boring work. After giving the men their coffee, the two sisters sat in the living room with their tea and chatted. Khushi had just remembered the photo that she had found and decided to ask Payal about it. When Payal saw the photo, she immediately recognised it.

Payal: Oh my god Khushi this photo is from college. This was in my final year and you had just started college around that time. This photo was taken at the college fair that I took you to. We were there with some of my friends from college. Remember?

Khushi: I remember us going to the fair, but I hardly remember any of your friends.

Payal: I thought you may have. Most of them had finished with me and we hardly met up except for when there was a function, one of us getting married, someone's birthday or during a festival.

Khushi: Anyway doesn't matter Jiji, how about we go and get lunch ready first or else we would have to face the lion's rage.

Payal (laughing): Come on.

The two sisters got stuck into getting lunch ready while the two brothers were finishing their work. To their luck, when the came out of the study room looking for their wives, a delicious aroma hit their nostrils. Khushi and Payal were busy setting the table when Khushi was about to call Arnav and Akash for lunch when she saw the duo walking to the dining table. Khushi and Payal made paneer muttar, dal, rice and aloo and puri. The four of them enjoyed their lunch together. Being with Arnav and their family, Khushi's mind was at ease and away from all the worries unlike those months of hell she suffered before getting married. Once Akash and Payal left, the couple decided to enjoy a lazy afternoon spending time in front of the tv and talk reminisce the memories they had created together.

Meanwhile, in a small dingy apartment with every wall covered with Khushi's photos from the time he had first saw her at a fair in Lucknow with her family. The stalker was busy admiring Khushi's photo.

Stalker: I can still remember the first time I saw you. You were wearing a yellow churidaar. I had never seen anyone in my life look so breath taking, so down to earth and enchanting. From that moment I fell in love with you and wanted to make you mine. I never had the courage to come in front of you let alone talk. Every time I tried to talk to you, I would become so nervous, tongue tied and sweated so badly that I never came in front of you. Sending you those poems was my way of conveying my feelings for you. Slowly I found out where you lived and I used to call you just hear you soothing voice, but I don't know why you were always so scared to talk to me. You never understood the depth of my feelings. When I sent you the bridal suit, I thought I would send your photo as a symbol that I have marked you as my wife and I did tell you Bauji not get you married to anyone else. I soon found out what happened with Payal's wedding, but I didn't know that your parents would send you and Payal out of Lucknow. But to my luck after a year I found out that Payal was getting married, I couldn't believe my luck. I made up my mind that whatever happens, I will make sure that I will marry you. When I saw you again, it felt like centuries had gone by since I last saw you. I could just keep looking at you forever. Now that I knew where you were I would make sure that I will win you over carefully and not make the mistake that I made last time where you ended up being scared of me. The night that Payal got married, you looked like a angel who descended from the heaven, but how could you do that. You married another man by eloping. I thought I lost my chance, but watching every move from the time you and your husband visited Buaji's house as a married couple for the first. I knew that I could contact you straight away. I had to know more Arnav Singh Raizada and his family. I had to know each and every single aspect about them. By the time I found out everything, I found out that he was going to marry you again, but this time in front of the entire family. At first when he didn't show up I had felt a hope that I could somehow win you over this time, but all my hopes and dreams had shattered and look now. I can't stand the fact that man touches you all the time and you let him and when I thnk about it, my blood boils. I had to revert back to my old ways. Now I think it's time that somehow I bring myself back into your life and make sure that you leave your husband and marry me. It's for the best.

this stalker is quite scary, who this can be?
