Hi All,

This time also I promise small but regular updates... So sit back and enjoy another ARSHI story...

This is all your love and encouragement for my story that I am really excited to write another story...

Chapter 1 - Khushi rejects marriage proposal

"No means No, Mr. Raizada", Khushi almost screamed at Arnav when he pulled her angrily towards pool side and proposed her for a six months marriage without giving her any proper reason.

Not only she was shocked to hear him but shattered inside that she could almost hear her wailing heart!!

First of she was super shocked hearing about marriage proposal from him, she had expected him to express his feelings. She knew he was attracted towards and seen him flirting all the time with her during marriage rituals and even gone ahead and presented her bangles. So she was kind expecting him at least he will give her hints and may be take her on a date or some move to take their relationship forward!!

He never believed in marriages or permanent bonding like that. So she knew it might take him forever to even think about marriage... And what did he just demand - Marry him that too for six months!!

Oh wow!! And here she thought he had feelings for her because he gave her little attention during Payal and Akash's wedding preparations and was flirting with her!!

"Khushi, think again. Saying No will have consequences" Arnav roared threatening Khushi. He was not expecting her to say NO in spite of how horrible his proposal was.

He knew Khushi always had felt guilty for breaking Payal's first marriage. Though it was not Khushi's fault that she was held up by Arnav after the ramp fiasco in Lucknow Fashion show, he knew the aftermath. And even though the boy and his family were not at all good and were demanding dowry, no one could deny Gupta's faced humiliating incident when the baraat had gone back from their door without marriage and taking the bride. Payal was depressed for a long time... First time it was an arranged marriage for Payal but still she could not handle taunts from society and friends... now Payal was deeply in love with Akash. She will not be able to take breaking of her marriage second time! In fact entire Gupta family will NOT be able to take it. Arnav was sure of that.

Arnav knew Payal's happiness and marriage meant world for Khushi. Khushi had been over the moon since her trick worked and he jiji had accepted her love for Akash... Khushi wanted to make sure her jiji got all the happiness she deserved this time around...

Yet, Arnav was amazed how Khushi denied bluntly to marry him in spite of possibility of being trouble to her sister's marriage... He was even more sure that Khushi was kind of two timing showing him feelings while having affair with Shyam jijaji.

"It will not take me any time breaking Payal's marriage, think again Khushi" Arnav threatened with a smirk.

Khushi almost thought he was kidding and he cannot act so nasty. But she was so wrong. How could he even think of such things? How low can he go and why? She felt almost dizzy by now... Her head was spinning crazily with so many thoughts about her jiji, her parents and Buaji...

Khushi could not stand anymore. She tried to hold the side table and almost fell down. Tears started rolling down from her eyes. She was sitting there feeling defeated.

"What should she do?" Her mind was lost.

Arnav smirked assuming his trick worked.

"But why?" Why should I marry you suddenly that too for 6 months?" Asked Khushi politely. Khushi somehow had a feeling may be Arnav got to know about Shyam and her engagement and he misunderstood it.

Maybe they can discuss and she will explain what had exactly had happened and how Shyam had tricked her family and her acting as a bachelor... Hopefully he will understand... Was she thinking too much??

But if it was any misunderstanding about Shyam, he would want her to go away from there and not like marry and stay in the same house where Shyam lives... Wouldn't it add to more complications to already chaotic situation?

Then why would he want to marry her and that too for six months? It was beyond her simple thinking capacity.

"I do not think you should be interested in the reason. I will pay you enough for 6 months contract marriage" Arnav concluded without giving her any reason.

"Where did money come from now? Contract marriage and money - What are you really trying to do Arnavji and why Arnavji? Khushi begged him.

Khushi recalled how Arnav never had high opinion about her just because she was middle class girl and in fact he had called her gold digger!! So many times he had taunted about her status and indicated she does everything only for money... Where was all this going?

Khushi did not know which Arnav to believe, the one he was always was - Mean, nasty and judgmental that he always was towards her or the recent one caring, considerate and helping person and even flirting with her... Khushi was so lost...

"Khushi, you have 10 minutes to decide. You know Mamiji is least interested in this marriage. My one word and she will not even flinch to break this marriage. Payal is right now sitting in the wedding pandal doing pre-marriage rituals..."

"Look at Payal and take a wise decision Khushi" Khushi now understood he was not joking when he proposed marriage.

Was little disappointed with less likes but never mind... Story picks up after initial standard path... Hope you will love it then and hang in there to read it...

Trying it hard to make it different... Enjoy and keep commenting... Your feedback is precious to new writers like me...

Chapter 2 - The Terrace Scene

Arnav was sitting at the pool side on his favorite recliner and watching stars... Trying to talk to his mom but the sky was clouded and so were his thoughts...

Arnav recalled how he saw Shyam and Khushi hugging each other as soon as he opened terrace door slightly...

Hold on! It did not look like a friendly hug. And why would they come to terrace and hug when whole house is full of guests?

Did I miss something? What is going on here? Arnav stood there confused. May he should ask Khushi later, he thought and turned to go...

"Shyamji, why don't you leave Anjali Di? Why don't you divorce her?" He heard Khushi screamed looking at Shyam.

Arnav thought he heard something wrong. Suddenly he was sweating profusely, started feeling dizzy and felt like someone almost knocked him down. He could not hear any further or stand there watching them in each other's arms and barely walked back towards his room.

He just collapsed on his bed. He did not know what to think?

Were Shyam and Khushi having an affair behind everyone's back? How is it possible? Shyam showers so much love to his Di, is it all fake? Khushi is all about marriage and big sacred relationship and what not, then what was this? What is truth and what faade? Arnav's head was spinning with so many questions!!

One thing he realized his heart was shattered seeing Khushi in someone else's arms and that too his own jijaji?

And her words were ringing in his mind again and again... Was it that Khushi was interested in Shyam or after Shyam? Because he had clearly heard Khushi demanding Shyam to divorce his Di and leave her!! So was it Khushi who was after Shyam?

If yes, then why was she responding to his flirting and showing interest in him too?? Was she two timing?? No it can't be... He had always heard her preaching... He had seen how much she believed in marriages and commitments and lifelong relation and what not... He remembered how she was successful in making Lavanya not only believe but also dream about marriage with him!

Then what just happened? Why did she ask Shyam to divorce his Di and leave her? Why was she hugging Shyam? And why the hell was his jijaji listening to her **** and hugging her back?

Forget about Khushi and her involvement in Shyam for a minute, but Shyam has been married to his Di for 5 years now and they had long relationship before... They had fallen in love and then married... Then how can he simply deceive his Di for some random girl?

Did his jijaji even know Khushi well? They hardly met once during Pooja the other day...

What was he missing? One meet and they cannot be in love with each other... They must have met each other outside or must be meeting each other... Thought of Khushi being in love with someone else was unbearable for him... Love tear escaped from his eyes while he looked up in the sky to see if he can see any stars and talk to him mom... But he had no such luck...

The sky was as gloomy and dark as his life was at that moment!!

He did not know whether he should cry for his own heart break or for his Di that her husband is cheating on her so bad!

After witnessing his parents' disastrous marriage, Arnav had never believed neither in love nor marriage! He was very clear about it right from age 14. His entire focus was on taking care of his family especially his Di. He always had nightmares about wandering hungry on the streets at night and trying to save his Di from goons...

He focused strictly on studies, worked hard to get into best schools and colleges and the Harvard. Throughout his teen age or after, he was never distracted by girls but always looked at them as object of destruction and stayed away from them...

And of course he knew how he was genuinely blessed with good looks and he definitely started using it to his advantage, no emotions attached. He dated plenty of smart and beautiful career oriented women, models. He knew they needed him to go up the ladder and he needed them for his physical needs... It worked for him and he enjoying the no strings attached phase of his life.

His world was so called perfect for him until Khushi entered in his life... His approach towards life, his ethics, and his ideologies were questioned by a chit of a girl. He hated that she was affecting him badly. He treated her bad to not accept defeat and yet had fallen head over heels in love with her...

How much ever he denied, he was attracted to Khushi like crazy. At times, he was day dreaming about her! She invoked feeling in him that he never knew existed... She created havoc in his life without doing much...

Slowly he realized it was not just attraction but he had fallen for her... Not that he was going to confess so easily... Then his Di happened to be in an accident and she encouraged him to express his feelings before it's too late!!

But it was indeed late!! He closed his eye again and opened back immediately. He just wished how he could erase the picture of Shyam and Khushi hugging each other from his mind!

His heart cried for himself and his Di!!
