Awesome update! I knew something like this would happen with Sheetal... Good thing Arnav has realised about Preetham. Hope he tells Khushi before it's too late...

Finally was able to finish reading all the chapters.

Loved how Arnav and Khushi was bought together slowly, though it was one sided from the beginning and Arnav was forced to get married to her unwillingly, Khushi's love, care, understanding, respect towards his family members made Arnav fall for her eventually. Arnav wanted to move forward only after clearing his side of the story, how he denied first to marry her and later was forced against his will, had to get married because of his family before that evil people entered in their lives and wanted to separate them. Glad at least Arnav was able to see the other side of Khushi's cousin Preetham but was wondering will Khushi believe him over her own family. Sheethal doing whatever she can to create a misunderstanding between Arnav and Khushi, but Arnav is not giving her chance. Now her one word that Arnav is her boyfriend gave way for it. Wondering did she do it intentionally or just told her neighbor to avoid any conflicts. Even Abhinav being friendly with Khushi to get his revenge for rejecting him. Garima as a mother is not happy with Khushi's marriage because of Arnav's status, instead of solving the problems she is creating a mountain out of a molehill with whatever she is hearing from others without thinking what harm will do in her daughter's life. Hope Arnav and Khushi will not be separated by Preetham, Sheethal or Abhinav's doings and fight them together.

Waiting for the next one. Please update soon.

Awesome but a scary update. Good that our smart arnav had come to know abt the true intentions of Preetham.will khushi ever be alert and a fighter?? She has to come out of her cocoon very soon and analyse the good and the bad in her own style without placing the family as the sole criteria.somehow, both Garima and Preetham will blurt out the truth of this marriage and arnAvs denial for the marriage very soon. By seeing her nature, she will believe them more and hurt arnav. But arnav has to be more sensible and support his cute wifey like a hard rock.

PART-23:

Narrations: in Black

POVs: in Blue

Conversations: in Red

Flashbacks: in Green italics

One week to Anjali's wedding:

Khushi was trying hard to calm down a nervous Anjali while Payal was not helping at all. She teased Anjali to the core and would get a serious glare from Khushi often. After the wedding Shyam and Anjali had planned to move to Pune right away. They went on a few dates to familiarize with each other. Jatin and Ajit accompanied them twice to Shyam's annoyance... Khushi tried stopping Jatin and Ajit from accompanying the to-be-bride and to-be-groom but the guys were bent up on irritating them.

Khushi being busy with the shopping and arrangements, Preetham got ample opportunities to hit on Arnav. Arnav was highly irritated. He tried telling Khushi a couple of times but she was occupied with the pre-wedding stuff that she did not let him complete.

Arnav remembered what had happened in his room one day when Khushi left early to shop with Anjali.

Flashback:

One morning as Arnav stepped out after a shower, Preetham was waiting for him in his room.

Arnav: What are you doing again in my room?

Preetham: That was your room since it was at your place. This is in GM, so this is Khushi's room.

Arnav: If you noticed, Khushi is my wife, so again, what are you doing in my room?

Preetham: Ok... I am admiring you.

Arnav: Thank you; Now Get out!!!

Preetham: Arnav, why are you always angry with me? I never see love in your eyes for me.

Arnav: You will never- because I only love my wife...

Preetham (sniggering): You love your wife? Really?

Arnav (seriously): What is that supposed to mean?

Preetham: Considering how you were forced into this marriage, I'm surprised when you say you love her.

Arnav was momentarily shocked.

Arnav: How do you know that?

Preetham: I know a lot more things that even your so-called wife doesn't know.

Arnav: Why are you doing this? What do you want?

Preetham: Now we are on the right track. I. want. you.

Arnav: Meaning?

Preetham: Come on Arnav, don't you know that much? I am seriously attracted to you.

She ran a finger on his jaw and tried moving it on his lips when Arnav caught her hand and stopped her.

Arnav: Not going to happen.

Preetham: Why not Arnav? When you can have Sheetal, why not me?

Arnav (astounded): Sheetal?

Preetham: Come on, don't act now.

Arnav: What has Sheetal got to do with this?

Preetham: Alright, let me remind you who she is... Sheetal Aurora... the head of fashion at GI and your girlfriend.

Arnav (confused): What???

Preetham: I know... she is your girl friend. Isn't that why you took her with you to Bombay? Isn't that why she spent the night with you in your room?

Arnav: What nonsense are you talking?

Preetham: Your denial will not change the truth.

Arnav: Alright, am done with you and your rubbish. Do whatever you want to do. Just get out and I don't want to see your face again.

Preetham: You are rejecting me Arnav.

Arnav: You are damn right, I am rejecting you.

Preetham: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Arnav: I thought you were just crazy, but you are desperate too, huh? I am a married man. Look around for men who are not taken.

Preetham: If you spurn me, you won't stay married for long.

Arnav (crossed his hands on his chest and smirked): Oh, really? Get out Preetham Gupta. You have crossed my endurance limits long back.

Flashback ends...

Preetham moves towards Arnav were getting bolder by day. Arnav was getting more and more impatient to put an end to this. He realized moving out of the house alone would not solve the problem.

"But then, how does she know things about our marriage?", Arnav thought, "Initially I thought it was just a silly infatuation from her side", "but there is more to it".

Arnav pondered, "And what about all that stuff about Sheetal? How does she even know that I went to Bombay with Sheetal?" "Khushi will be broken if she hears baloney from Preetham."

"There is much more to it than it seems!", Arnav contemplated, "Preetham is a huge problem to my relationship with Khushi and has to be dealt with seriously." "She even had the audacity to threaten me that if I spurned her, she would disturb my marriage".

"Game on Preetham", Arnav snickered, "You are messing with the wrong guy".

Arnav had made up his mind.

At the function hall on the day of Anjali's wedding:

Anjali's wedding was in the morning. The entire family was happy that it went very well. There was a huge lunch buffet arranged in the afternoon at the function hall. In the evening, a well rested Anjali and Shyam left to Pune with Jatin. Nani, Mamaji and Mami accompanied them to help Anjali set up her new home. Khushi with other ladies helped in reorganizing stuff at Arnav's place. Ajit and Akash helped shift the necessary stuff back to Arnav's house from the function hall while Arnav and Aman helped take care of the caterers. Arnav and Aman were the last ones left in the venue.

Arnav had told Preetham in the morning to stay back at the function hall so they could talk. He waited till Aman left. Preetham was ecstatic that Arnav was interested in meeting her.

Arnav: Preetham, I want to have a straight-forward talk with you.

Preetham gave a victorious smile. "Go on", she said.

Arnav: Your moves on me are getting bolder

Preetham: So?

Arnav: What do you exactly want?

Preetham: I already told you what I want.

Arnav: But why me?

Preetham: Because you are gorgeous, confident, elegant and masculine. I am attracted to everything about you Arnav.

Arnav: Thanks for the compliments. But has this attraction got to do anything with the fact that I am Khushi's husband?

Preetham (irritated): What do you mean?

Arnav: Why do you despise Khushi so much? Why are you so jealous of her?

Preetham (feeling uneasy): I am not... I have no reason to be.

Arnav (raising his eyebrow): Really? you are envious of Khushi because she is more beautiful than you, she is smarter and everybody loves her more than you, she is more humble and...

Preetham (shouted): Stop it!

Arnav (calmly): Why? Is that not true? Is it not why you are jealous of her?

Preetham: She is just lucky, she has everything served on a platter. You are right. I was envious of her until I came to know that you were forced to live with her. Her own husband whom she is crazy about, is not her own. He doesn't love her.

Arnav: You are wrong! It's true that I started my life with her due to some terms and conditions. But her persona made me fall in love with her. I am hers. I am completely and totally Khushi's.

Arnav (resumed): The reason you covet me so strongly is because I am Khushi's husband. You want to have the satisfaction that I, being Khushi's husband, cheated on her with you. Right?

Preetham (smiling evilly): I am definitely attracted to your personality and arrogance. But, you are right, the fact that you are her husband makes you irresistible to me.

Arnav shook his head, "You are wrong Preetham", "You are taking the erroneous path. You are her family. Khushi will be shattered if she comes to know this. Please, I give you one last chance. Let go of this madness. it will only ruin you."

Preetham: I didn't know Arnav Singh Raizada could beg.

Arnav: Arnav Singh Raizada can do anything for Khushi Singh Raizada.

Preetham was mad, "Tsk, tsk, but will Khushi Singh Raizada do the same for Arnav Singh Raizada?"

Arnav: I am sure she will. I mean everything to her.

Preetham: May be, but will Khushi Singh Raizada trust her husband over her own family?

Arnav was pained. He closed his eyes for a second and sighed, "I think so".

Preetham (smirked): Not so sure now, are we?

In a sudden move, she rose on her toes and kissed him on his cheek.

Arnav pushed her back. "This is not the first time you are kissing me, right? Weren't you the one that kissed me at GM one morning before I woke up?"

Preetham: I knew you were smart, so you figured it out, huh? I thought you were sleeping.

Preetham took a step forward to Arnav and said, "This affair will stay between us. I promise, I will never reveal it to anyone. Your precious wife will never get to know about it".

Arnav (with a finality in his tone): I am a one-woman man and I am taken. Arnav Singh Raizada is committed to his wife. Make no mistake about this Preetham. You can never have me.

With that he turned and left behind a fuming and frustrated Preetham.

I had written Part-23 and Part-24 as one single update but it became too long. Then, I cleaved it posting only Part-23 today and thought of posting Part-24 at a later day. Delighted by your love for this story, I decided to be a little less evil, hence I posted Part-24 too.

Enjoy friends!!! I love you all...

PART-24:

Narrations: in Black

POVs: in Blue

Conversations: in Red

Flashbacks: in Green italics

The next day at Arnav's place:

Khushi and Arnav had stayed back the previous night at Arnav's place along with some friends and relatives. Khushi noticed that Arnav was disturbed and was lost in thoughts. She asked him a few times, but he said "Nothing."

Khushi knew her husband well by now. She wanted to probe and find out why he was contemplative, but with all the people around she was unable to find some uninterrupted moments to talk. Khushi started getting worried. Arnav was withdrawn, he was not his usual naughty self. He had not kissed her or taken her close since the past two days. Khushi was very apprehensive. She had this premonition that something bad might happen.

By evening all the other relatives had left. Aman, Akash, Payal and Nisha were the only ones who stayed back. The ladies had cooked an early dinner so they could all go to bed soon. Ajit and Akash were constantly commenting Payal and Nisha riling them up when the entire Gupta family entered Arnav's house.

Khushi stepped forward joyously to greet her family. She was surprised to see their grave countenance.

Khushi (looking at Shashi): What happened Papa? Is everything ok?

Garima (coming towards Khushi): Khushi, we came to take you back to GM.

Khushi: What do you mean? Arnav and I will come tomorrow Amma.

Bua: Khushi, listen to us and start right away. We can talk about the rest once we reach home.

Arnav was pissed. "This is home too", he said.

Shashank suddenly stepped forward in fury, "It's all because of you", he said and was about to catch Arnav's collar.

Immediately Shashi tried to hold him back, while Aman and Akash stepped in front to shield Arnav.

Khushi's eyes were filled with tears. She was filled with outrage for a second time at her Chachu's behavior.

Khushi (shouted): How dare you Chachu?

Shashank: How dare I? Ask your husband what he has done.

Garima (angrily): Ha Khushi, it is all your husband's doing. He is not worthy of you. Come on beta, let's get out of here.

Khushi: What nonsense is this?

Everyone looked at Arnav while he watched Khushi keenly.

Garima: Your husband behaved indecently with Preetham. Look at this.

Garima pulled Preetham by her hand and moved her dress slightly off her left shoulder. There was a bruise that looked like a hickey.

Garima: Do you know what it is? Preetham was so scared and embarrassed when we asked her what it was. It is a love-bite given by your husband.

Everyone gasped.

Garima (continued): Your husband hits on every other girl in town. I am ashamed to say that he did not even spare Preetham. He is a womanizer. He doesn't deserve someone like you beta.

Arnav was now enraged. "Enough", he bellowed, "how dare you call me something that nasty and cheap?". "You have no idea about the truth; The only reason I kept quiet is because I didn't want to defame your family."

Bua (loudly): Don't dare deny Arnav. I saw it with my own eyes when you told Preetham yesterday morning that you want to meet her alone after everyone left. I heard you telling her to stay back. How can you do this to Khushi's sister?

Preetham (with fake tears) (to Khushi): Ha Khushi, he did this to me. He doesn't like you Khushi. He is not loyal to you at all.

Garima: Ha beta, last week we found out one more thing, Sheetal is his girlfriend.

Everyone was stunned at this accusation.

Preetham: Khushi, Do you even know initially when Bade Papa proposed your alliance, Arnav refused it. He later agreed to marry you under some conditions. Everyone in our family knows about this. I'm not lying, it's the truth. Ask your husband if you want.

Shashi and Payal closed their eyes tightly.

Arnav fisted his palms his knuckles turning white. "This was not how Khushi was supposed to know about this", he mused.

Arnav was filled with indignation against Preetham for feeding the nonsense to Khushi. "It's time", he thought.

Khushi swayed at the accusations and evidences being presented against Arnav. She was about to collapse when Arnav ran and caught her. He made her sit on the couch and gave her some water to drink.

"Is it true", she asked weakly.

"Khushi", Arnav said kneeling down in front of her.

"Is it true that you rejected my alliance first, then agreed to marry me with some conditions?", she asked.

"Sweetheart", Arnav's voice was pained seeing her in such a fragile state.

"Were you forced to marry me?", she asked her voice choking.

Arnav took a deep breath and steadied himself, "Khushi honey, initially I did not want to marry you. One simple reason- you and I don't belong to the same social and economic status. I thought you were a rich spoilt girl. I did not know you then. But as the time passed, I realized you were anything but spoilt. Your humility, soft and patient nature won my heart. Do you remember I kept telling you multiple times in between that I have something to tell you. This is it. This is what I wanted to tell you in Manali".

He lifted her face, wiped the tears that were running down her cheeks.

Garima stepped forward to say something but Shashi stopped her. "Let him finish talking", Shashi said.

Arnav said resolutely, "Khushi, Sheetal is not my girlfriend. I did not misbehave with your sister either. I am loyal to you. I have been faithful to you throughout, even before I started liking you. I never cheat Khushi, not in business, not in love."

At this Preetham opened her mouth to say something, Aman stepped in and said, "Ms.Gupta, Keep your accusations on hold until my friend is done talking". Akash and Payal looked daggers at Preetham and her father.

Arnav took Khushi's hand, kissed on her palm and spoke with a finality, "Khushi, I wanted to say this in a special way, that's why I waited long, because you deserve it. I wanted to make this experience unique for you so I planned the Manali trip too".

He continued looking straight into her eyes, "I love you Khushi. I am truly deeply madly in love with you. Just like how you meant it when you said it, I mean it too that you are my life. I cannot exist without you. Trust me honey".

Arnav then gently disengaged Khushi's hand, got up from his kneeling position and took a step back. He wanted to give Khushi some space to think. He did not want to pressurize her. He wanted Khushi to trust him out of her own volition without his coercion.

Arnav's friends and Shashi were enraptured at this confession. Payal had tears of joy running all over her cheeks.

Garima: Don't trust him Khushi. This is not true. We are your family. We want the best for you. Come with us Khushi, let's go.

Preetham: Ha Khushi, we are your family. He is lying.

Payal couldn't hold herself back anymore. "No Khushi, trust Arnavji. Don't take any hasty decision. Think coolly Khushi. Remember when you told me recently that you were both getting close, that things have improved between you two, and you both felt connected..."

Preetham was pissed that Payal was spoiling all that she had worked for.

Preetham (to Payal): I think you should stop interfering in our family matter.

Payal (retorted): Oh, then I think you should stop breaking up families first.

"Stop it Payal", Garima roared, "Come on Khushi", she said, "Enough of the drama".

Khushi was all the while lost in thought, she remembered Arnav's disinterest before and during the wedding, how he ignored her initially, then warmed up to her, how he wanted to discuss a few things related to their marriage before getting physically close, how he said he missed her in Bombay and wanted her to travel with him, how he showed her his passion at every available opportunity. Finally his mind-blowing confession today.

"My husband is in love with me", she thought her heart soaring high, "I know how we came closer over these past few months. The compatibility and understanding we share is amazing. I trust my husband completely".

Everyone was looking at Khushi anxiously. Arnav stared at her with bated breath. Khushi gave out a long sigh and stood up from the couch slowly.

Khushi looked at Arnav for a few seconds before turning her gaze to Garima, "No Amma, I won't come without my husband. I believe his every word. I trust him more than myself".

There was silence in the room for a few moments. Everyone was spellbound.

Arnav couldn't contain himself, he stepped forward and took Khushi in a bear hug. Khushi hugged him back tight and wept softly.

"Why is this happening to us Arnav?" she spoke into his chest in a gentle voice.

"Hush sweetheart", he said proudly, "We will handle it together".

And that became one of the most crucial moments of their long happy life...

So glad that things are getting sorted out. You are a really good story-teller - one can really visualise everything while reading.

Nice to see double updates

Amazing ones.

Loved them.

Preetham is underestimating Arnav and blackmailing him, if he didn't agree with her she will make sure his marriage with Khushi breaks. Glad to see Arnav cleared the misunderstanding Preetham and Sheethal created. Loved his confession, even Khushi never let her trust in him failed. She took in everything he said and saw how his behaviour towards her changed from the time of their marriage and how he wanted to let her know everything and planned a surprise so that they can move forward in their relationship. Arnav was overwhelmed to see Khushi trusted and supported him infront of her own family members. Looks like Shashi is the one who takes decisions sensibily after knowing the actual truth.

Waiting for the next one.

Thanks for the PM
