Chapter 1
- Now what will they do? Who will marry her?
- Do you know, last time another family called off the marriage at the last moment..! I guess the girl is inauspicious, no marriage is written in her fate.
- Khushi should accept her fate now.
The guests who were still present at the venue, passed their comments when a elder guy walked to them saying - We are very grateful that you all took part in our daughter's wedding day but unfortunately the marriage didn't take place. So..!
He looked at the exit way. The ladies felt embarrassed, when one of the lady said - Mr Gupta we are just...
But she cut by him.
Mr Gupta - If you can't be a co-sharer in our bad times, then you don't need to show any fake concern for us.
He joint his hands and said - Please, you may leave.
The ladies walked out when Mr Gupta looked at the young guy who was still trying to figure out the matter, Mr Gupta walked to him and placed his hand on his shoulder - Arnav jee..?
Arnav composed himself and turned at Mr Gupta, he was trying to give the clarification saying - Sir, this photos are.. Nothing happened that night.. I was just trying to calm her that's it, she was scared. But I really don't know who clicked the photos.
Mr Gupta - Arnav jee.. Arnav jee.. Relax.. I know you can't do anything wrong.
When Arnav was talking with Mr Gupta, Mrs Gupta came there furious, she grabbed his collar saying - You are saying, nothing happened but.. But the photos are telling something else. And.. And as far I remember, you both didn't come that night. You called us and said your car has broken right? That means you lied.
Arnav - I.. I can explain you everything. Sir, sir I can explain.
Mr Gupta consoled Mrs Gupta who was crying vigorously when Arnav explained - You remember sir, that night I and Khushi returned from Hydrabad and our flight landed almost at 12am...
Flashback,
Arnav and Khushi walked out from the airport. Khushi was going to leave alone when Arnav called - Oh hello.. Miss Jalebi.. Where are you going alone?
Khushi turned at him saying - We decided before, once we land here, our path will be part away. Right? And moreover, you irritated me enough at flight and now I don't have strength to tolerant you. So, I will go my way, you go yours.
Arnav - If our destination is same then why will we go separately? And.. See.. It's midnight so it won't be safe to travel alone.
Khushi - See, Mr Raizada. It's my city and I know how to travel alone. You don't need to think about me.
Saying this, Khushi was going to leave but stopped again and turned at him.
Khushi - From next time, don't call me Jalebi.
And she left taking her luggage.
Arnav murmured - What else, I could call you except Jalebi as you never does anything in straight way.
He sighed and saw her waiting for a cab. Arnav didn't bother to go to her, he gets inside his car and left but stopped the car in a far and keep his eye on Khushi. After many attempts, Khushi finally got a cab and left from there. Arnav followed her.
But after a certain time, Arnav distracted from his way when he mixed few cab with Khushi's cab.
Arnav thought - Damn it..! Now where the cab lost...
Arnav asked the driver to stop the car as he himself will drive.
Arnav was driving the car restlessly when he passed a cab but he stopped in a far and looked back. Arnav drive back the car and recognised the cab. He quickly gets down from the car and checked inside but didn't find anyone but he saw Khushi's luggage inside. He looked around and found the area is deserted.
Arnav shouted - Khushi.. Khushi..!
But he didn't find her when he saw a godown type. Arnav felt something and he ran there. He walked inside and stalking inside when he heard Khushi's voice, asking for help.
Hearing the voice, he followed the direction and seeing the scene his temper arise. Khushi was lying on the floor and few men were trying to force them on her.
Seeing Arnav present there, Khushi shouted - Mr Raizada, help.. Please help.
As Khushi took his name, the men turned at him. Arnav couldn't wait another minute, while tightening his fist, he ran towards them and pulled off the men who was on Khushi, he hit badly whereas others jumped on Arnav but like a hero, he beat them black and blue when they ran from there.
Arnav saw Khushi sitting in a corner, he removed his coat and wrapped it around her shoulder. Khushi broke into tears.
She sobbed - They.. They.. Touched..
But her words didn't reach her throat when Arnav hugged her to console her, he wiped her tears and that time someone clicked there photos in different poses.
Arnav - Let's go Khushi.
Arnav made her seat inside the car and saw her scared.
Arnav - Khushi, I don't think, you should go in your house like this. Your family will get worried for you.
Khushi - I.. I know.. I don't want to give them any tension.
Arnav - Okay.. I will tell them, we are coming tomorrow morning. Will that be okay?
Khushi nodded and he called them and informed the family about the car's break fail and they spend the night in a hotel, though Arnav was about to book two rooms but seeing Khushi's condition, he decided to stay in her room.
Flashback ends.
Arnav looked at the family as he explained and then said - If you still have doubt, you can ask Khushi.
Mr Gupta - Our daughter had gone through all this and being her parent, we couldn't be at her side.
Arnav tried to console them when he thoughtfully said - But who clicked our photos..
When suddenly they heard some noise from Khushi's room. Arnav felt suspicious, so he ran upstairs and the others followed him. Arnav banged on the door.
Arnav - Khushi.. Khushi open the door.. Khushi..!
But he didn't get any response when Arnav pushed the door hard and it opened with a jerk, Arnav walked in and saw Khushi lying on the floor unconscious and the blood was oozing from her wrist. Arnav ran to her and tied a handkerchief on her wrist.
Arnav - Khushi..
He scooped her in his arm and placed her on the bed. Meanwhile Mr Gupta called the doctor.
30 minutes later
Once the doctor left, Mr Gupta broke into tears. Arnav consoled him.
Mr Gupta - They are right. No happiness is written in my daughter's fate. This is the second time when her marriage called off... Now who will marry her? Everyone will think her inauspicious.
Madhumati walked out from Khushi's room saying - Why? She will get married. You have to marry him.
She pointed at Arnav making everyone shocked. She continued - If you wouldn't be with her that day, she wouldn't need to face all this then..
Arnav - Are you out of your mind? If I wouldn't be with her that day then Khushi wouldn't alive today.
Madhumati showed her palm at him saying - I don't know anything. You have to marry him, otherwise how will Khushi face the society? Now the society knows everything, if any other family approach to us in future, somehow they will get to know about the scandal. So, it will be best if you marry her. At least, no one can raise their finger at our Khushi.
Arnav furiously replied - We haven't done anything wrong buaji.. Then will we care about others? You can't force me.
Madhumati - You can't go away after ruining our reputation.
Arnav - You can't force me buaji.. Marriage is a life time commitment..
Arnav was trying to convince her when Mrs Gupta came to him and requested with her joint hands - Arnav jee.. Only you can save my Khushi. If today she don't get married, she will harm herself, she will die. Khushi already has gone through this before, and if it repeat again then...
She cried when Arnav helplessly looked on. Just then the watchman walked in running - Sir.. Sir..!
Mr Gupta - What happened?
Watchman - Medias are stalking outside.
Arnav peeped through the curtain and saw the media. He turned on the TV where every news channel flashing the same news about Khushi's called off marriage and her illegal relation with ASR.
Arnav was going to call the media channel when his phone rang.
Arnav - Yes di..!
Anjali - Chotey what's going on there? What are the media showing?
Arnav explained her everything when Anjali said - You get married with her.
Arnav shockingly asked - What? What are you saying di?
Anjali - I know, what I am saying chotey. To stop them getting insulted, you have to marry her. And moreover they are very well family. We have a business relation with them..
Arnav - But di.. Family? Mom dad and..
Anjali - You don't worry. I will convince everyone. You do what is needed most.
Saying this, Anjali hang up the call, Arnav looked on. When someone said, Khushi gained her sense. Everyone went inside the room and saw Khushi crying.
Arnav looked on when Mr Gupta helplessly joint his hands, Arnav stopped him saying - Don't do this sir.. I.. I will marry her.
Everyone delighted hearing this but declaring his decision Arnav walked out from the room and called the media channel asking them to take their team away from Gupta house.
Mr Gupta came to Arnav and said - Thank you Arnav jee.. Today you save us.
Arnav didn't react on it and went to change. Other side, the news leaked in media and Raizada family gets to know about the wedding.
