Chapter 2 Continued -

His Di had just given world's best news that she was pregnant. Anjali had gone to temple and car had break failure and she had a minor accident. When she went to Dr. for checkup and bandage her wounds, they did her blood tests as well.

And it turned out Anjali was pregnant with her first baby! Oh boy, she had waited such a long time for this news! She was ecstatic and she came home running wanting to tell everyone best news of her life!! She didn't care about her wounds by then!! She was just too happy...

Shyam was shocked to see her alive but with so many wounds. But he pretended to be concerned for her and no one caught his lies as usual...

That's when Anjali had told Shyam their good news. She also called Arnav and told him the news!! The brother and sister shared their moment. After a long time, they were at peace and happy in their lives... Anjali also encouraged him to express his feelings before it's too late.

Now how can he tell his Di that her husband cheating on her at this stage? He was sure she will not take it easy and might have some other health problems. And it would be harmful for her baby too!

As is it took Anjali long time to conceive after her first miscarriage so she had become emotional about having a baby! Arnav always took her to best gynecologists and best treatments along with her all Poojas brought in the great news. No way can he risk her baby and her health now...

He has to handle this situation differently now. That's when he decided to blackmail Khushi and marry her.

Arnav was confident that if he threatens to break Payal's marriage, Khushi will marry him. After Di delivers baby, he could easily throw Khushi out of his life forever if she really had affair with Shyam... It was not going to be simple for him but he would do anything for his Di. And he will get some breathing time to handle Shyam as well and track what Shyam is up to!

But when Khushi denied his proposal, he was deeply hurt. Somewhere he wanted her to marry him. Maybe it was her young, nave age and weird feelings that he could tame, he had thought. Or maybe after marriage, she would love only her husband and things might turn out OK for them, his heart was still positive... Or maybe she is not wrong and somehow this is all a misunderstanding and they might have a chance at marriage!!

His big fat ego was badly hurt when Khushi denied his marriage proposal on his face looking straight into his eyes and she had no remorse about it... She was calm and composed... She had different kind of shine and determination in her eyes that almost mocked him and made fun of him!! What was he missing really??

But his disappointment and ego could take a back seat for now... He was more worried for his Di.

What if Shyam asks Di for divorce now when she is pregnant? What if Di gets to know about his affair with Khushi? He was totally scared of his Di's reaction.

How can he handle this situation now? Had Khushi said yes to marriage, it would have really solved all his problems but she denied point blank and walked away!

He wanted to keep an eye on Shyam first and understand what was going on? And he will watch Khushi too personally, he decided.

He needed to get to the bottom of all this! The sooner the better, he concluded...

Sleep was far away for him and his mind was running fast, planning for the next day!

I am trying to give you small but regular updates ... Please enjoy...

Khushi won't give so easily either...

Chapter 3 - Khushi on her own Mission!!

After crying her heart out, thinking and rethinking about Arnav's proposal forever, Khushi had barely slept all night... Yet she managed to clear her mind well. She had come to conclusion about one thing, she meant nothing to him... The realization definitely hurt her but also made her strong... She was so done crying for a person who did not respect her, her feelings, her beliefs, her family or anything about her for that matter!!

Her Devi Mayya had heard her prayers yesterday and granted her wish by letting the marriage happen without any issues. For some reason, Arnav had remained quiet and in fact attended Akash and Payal's marriage and did not create any obstacles. In fact Mamiji was enjoying all the rituals of marriage and actively taking part in them... So she was very sure Arnav never talked to Mamiji...

Truth as of today was her jiji is happily married now with love of her life... So Khushi decided it was her turn to fulfil what she promised Devi Mayya.

She had decided to stay away from Arnav and that would be the best for her and her Jiji also. She did not want to create any problems in her jiji's married life. She would try and forget him even though she knew it would be hard to forget and forgive her first crush and her first love.

First thing came to her mind was to move back to Lucknow and start her life a fresh!

But right away she knew, it was a terribly selfish thought. Her jiji would miss them all badly. They being here, at least Payal can visit them and her parents can go to RM.

And also when she did not commit any mistake, why she has to leave Delhi and go to Lucknow? She was enjoying Delhi, looking forward to join college, complete her education. There would be plenty of job opportunities in Delhi.

Before also, Gupta family was forced to leave Lucknow because Arnav released her tape from Fashion show... She did not want to relocate her family back to Lucknow now... Moving back means her Baoji's treatment routine will also get disturbed. She cannot do that...

She knew her future was much better if she stayed back in Delhi!! Provided she soon gets a job...

Khushi could easily avoid going to RM and as is, her life style versus Arnav's lifestyle was different as day and night. She was no longer working at AR Fashion House. Their houses were in two opposite corners of the city. He would be busy in his business and she would be busy in her studies and job is she finds it... So it would be easy for her to avoid him if she tries a little harder, she thought.

She remembered how she managed to go to RM only once after Payal's marriage that too for women only ceremony and smartly avoided all other functions giving excuses of being busy in college or some or the other activities... That day she had managed to not meet up with Arnav and Shyam both at RM and she came back quickly after attending the ceremony.

So she could continue doing that.

Gupta family as a whole had decided to disclose Shyam's truth to Raizada family long before Payal's marriage. They had seen how vulnerable and emotional Anjali was for her husband. She loved him like god... And now that she was pregnant, they had only hoped Shyam improves and focus on his own family with Anjali!!

But then Shyam never missed out on chance to bother Khushi!!

Khushi needed to be smarter now to continue avoiding Shyamji, she thought. She had told every detail to her parents and buaji about the terrace incident. Then Buaji had called Shyam and threatened him that she will talk to Raizadas especially Arnav if he did not stop pursuing Khushi.

Buaji's call had desired effect on Shyam. He had stopped pestering Khushi for now and stopped calling her completely for last couple of weeks...

Khushi knew that would put Shyam away from her for few days or months but not for long. She has to think about how to let Shyamji's truth known to Anjali Di and Arnavji. During the ceremony, Khushi got to know Anjali Di was pregnant. Khushi congratulated her ad wished her the best. Knowing Anjali Di was pregnant and how she literally dotes on her husband, Khushi could not risk even giving her any hint.

Arnav was all together a different story now!

Given a chance, she wouldn't even want to see his face after he humiliated her that night. And will he even believe her knowing his thoughts about her? Arnav Singh Raizada, the self-proclaimed smartest man on this earth, could go and figure it out for himself, she decided.

Khushi genuinely cared about Anjali and even Arnav but then it was almost impossible for her to discuss about Shyam with any of them. She just wished if Arnav rethinks his behavior and confides the reason about his act that night, she still could somehow try and tell him about Shyam and his vile intensions... But she can't unless he initiates the efforts... Or maybe she will wait until Payal settles in RM after coming back from her honeymoon and then have her talk to Akash jijaji and Arnavji... For now, she left it to her Devi Mayya to take care of Anjali Di and prayed for her and her baby...

Somehow her self-respect and his distrust towards Khushi, did not allow her to go and meet up Arnav again...
