Khushi's POV
I see my husband slipping on the bed beside me. I m in his warm hug. I feel much relieved after crying my heart out. Maybe this is what I wanted. I feel better now. I look at my husband. His eyes are closed.
He is so cute when he is asleep. I am liking his concern and loving nature towards me. That's what I wanted from the beginning of the marriage. I wanted him to love my and treat me like a wife. I guess I had to go missing to make him realize my importance. I chuckle.
Maybe its fate. I m thankful to Naina for being there with me whenever I needed her. After all she is my new sissy, not by blood, but by heart.
I am tired running so far. I m heartbroken by Arnavji's betrayal. How could he agree to send me to jail to cover Mrs.Jha's mistake? Why am I taken for granted? Am I not his wife? Do I have no value? Why is he so partial towards me and his sister? I understand that she couldn't bear her husband's betrayal so soon, but that doesn't give him the right to blame me.And what he said today was beyond limit.
Why should I be punished for something I didn't do? His sister shouldn't go to jail, but I should. Why?
Isn't this unfair? I can't bear this anymore. They have broken me, to a great extent!
I must hide from the police. I cant sacrifice anymore for that family. I keep running. I m without food since two days, n yet I manage to run. My legs are hurting badly. But I have to run for my life. I stop, feeling extremely tired and bend to hold my knees. I m puffing, with my eyes closed. I run again, and when I open my eyes I see the headlights of a car. It is going to hit me n...
My heart beats fast as it stopped just a centimeter away from me. My chest is heaving fast. Sweat beads form on my face.
A woman gets down the car.
"Are you alright? Did I hurt you? Why were you running?" She asks me.
I feel like swooning as I m extremely tired n I black out.
Tears pool on my eyes. I think I m wetting his shirt. But I cannot forget those horrible two days, when I kept running in those streets of Delhi to escape from the police. I m reminded of the partial treatment which Raizadas did to me. I m unable to stop my tears.
I can feel his warm breathe.
"Khushi" he calls me. He has realized that I am crying. I feel him, caressing my hair.
He breaks the hug and looks at me. He slowly wipes my tears, and kisses my forehead.
"I am sorry" he apologizes. Maybe he is guilty. But right now I m not angry with him because he has realized his mistake n he is trying to amend our relationship.
"I want maa" I say like a child, crying in his arms.
"I am sorry for this terrible state of yours" he speaks again. I know he can't stand my tears, at any cost.
"Its your family" I speak up, n hug him again. He tightens the hug.
"Sleep baby" he says calmly while kissing my hair.

Arnav's POV
Its 9 in the morning. I am on the bed looking at my beautiful wife. I can say that she is very tired. Of course she would be, after crying a lot. I am in no hurry to wake her up. I push the strands of hair which are covering her eyes and tuck them behind her ear. She wiggles a bit and comes closer to me. I smirk. She must be 19 by age but her sleeping habits are like a 5 year kid. I see her one leg over mine and the other leg somewhere entangling the blanket. The blanket has become a ball, all thanks to my wife.
She slowly opens her eyes. She could have slept more since she hasn't slept well yesterday night. She blinks her eyes n looks at me.
" I didn't ruin her life" she murmurs.
"I know" I say n kiss her forehead. My throat is paining badly as I feel like crying, but I have to be strong for her.
"Get ready, let's have breakfast" I say. She nods her head.
" thank you" she says holding my arm.
"For?"
"Being with me" she blinks back her tears. I slowly caress her eyes. I don't want her to feel that I pity her, actually I don't. I feel sorry for her but I don't pity her. I love her and its my duty to take care of her. I lift her in my arms. We share a cute eyelock. I drop her till the washroom.
-Rabba ve-
"Freshen up" I tell her while she stares at me. I smirk.
"Do you want my help?" I m sure she is still lost admiring me.
"Khushi" she blinks her eyes.
"Huh?"
"I said do you want my help" I ask her.
"For?"
"In freshening you?" I say with a huge smirk. Her cheeks go tomato red. She is blushing like hell.
She closes the door straight on my face. I m sure she is blushing more.
That's it, I just wanted her to get distracted. Today is her birthday, her first birthday after marriage. Finally my Khushi turns 20. She doesn't remember her birthday yet, I have to make it a memorable one.
*************
I m on my way downstairs. Khushi is taking bath. I see Nani, Payal n Mrs.Raizada. I grit my teeth. I don't why but I have started to hate them. I gulp my throat remembering how my wife was crying yesterday because of these people.
"Chotte how is Khushi bitiya?" Nani looks worried.
"Is she alright Arnavji? How is her health?" Payal asks.
"How on earth do you remember her today Payal?" I mock.
"She is my sister, I m concerned"
"Ohh really? When was this "concern" when she needed you? When was this "concern " when you gave her stale food?" My bp is going high. I guess today I will be taking her class if she continues this drama. She is on the verge of crying. Crocodile tears!
"Calm down chotte" Nani says.
"HHBB how is phati..I mean Khushi"
"You need to worry about that Mrs.Raizada. I m there to take care of my wife. N thanks for your concern" I say sarcastically looking at those 3 villians of Khushi's life. Maybe Khushi includes Akash, Di n Gupta's also.
"Chotte.."
"Nani, why don't you all do a favor on me. You all are concerned for Khushi, right, so please don't come in front of Khushi for a few days in front of her. I hope you understand" I give them a mocking smile.
"But why Arnav bitua? She would improve when we all talk well with her n be with her, not by hiding her"
"Wow, when it is about you all, you don't wanna hide before Khushi, but when its about Khushi, she needs to hide before Di. Isn't that unfair?"
I see their faces going dull.
"I can't risk her happiness anymore, so please don't appear before my wife for a few days or months if possible n if you all disobey me then u have face the worst of me." I warn them.
See your wife crying for hours in your arms n forgive them who are responsible for this? Impossible! I can't forgive them so soon.

Khushi's POV
"Hey Khushiji wassup?" I look at an enthusiastic Nanheji.
"Come in Nanheji" I say looking at him, standing at the door.
"Wow Khushiji this pearl necklace looks amazing on you" he compliments.
I remember him, making me wear this today. This is the same necklace which he broke, he has got it repaired. I was happy looking at this today. After all it belonged to my mom. How can I forget that kiss which he placed on my neck? I was touched by his move. He is trying to amend our relationship. In the past few days he proved me that he wants me, not for the contract, but because he loves me truly.
"Blushing huh? Ohho nannav gifted this?"
"How do you know?" I ask instantly.
"Look at your tomato red cheeks" he teases me.
"OK Khushiji, Nannav has told me to give this to you, get ready"
I open the gift pack with a frown and look at the pretty off shoulder red gown. Its beautiful.
"But why? Are we going out?"
"Yes Khushiji, we r going out to have fun. Its been long time since we went out, you know you n me n your hubby"
I chuckle.
"Let's leave Nannav alone n go out" he winks.
"Excuse me! Was it mine or your idea?" I see my husband giving strange looks to Nanheji.
"Nannav let me also spend some time with my best friend. I m not going to kidnap her"
I feel nanheji side hugging me. Arnavji gives him his worst ASR look. I can see him staring at Nanheji's hand, which is over my waist. I see him heading towards us. My possessive hubby pulls me from Nanheji's hold n holds my waist n I m dangerously close to him.
" don't forget that she is your bhabi"
"I can see that Nannav. Come on don't be a jealous ass. Be cool, like me, yoyo"
"Yes Arnavji stop being jealous" I say.
"Come Khushiji let's have tea n then you get ready" Nanheji holds my hand and takes me near the door.
I m sure my hubby must be staring at us n might have said "What the" too. But who cares? Its friends time.
*************
I m getting downstairs holding the sides of my gown. I have rolled my hair. I see Arnavji staring at me as if he is gonna eat me. His eyes don't blink at all. Am I looking so pretty?
I gulp my throat seeing his long stares. He entwins his arm around mine once I get down.
"You look smoking hot" he whispers.
I am taken aback at his compliment. Is this the same Arnavji? He used to speak only by eye signals, but today he openly compliments my beauty.
"Thanks for the gown, its beautiful" I thank him. He smiles.
"Let's go"
***************
We r in my house.
I am quite surprised when I enter my house. How did Arnavji find out that this is my house? My house, where I was born and brought up for a few years until that horrible accident took place. I am happy after coming here.
I look at Arnavji with a surprised expression. He hands me a file.
"From today, this is your house Khushi. You own this property." He tells me happily.
I am overwhelmed. He did make me happy. For ages this house was under the Gupta's, today finally I get my house, under my name. I hug him.
"Thank you Arnavji" I say happily.
He hugs me happily. A lot of things happened today. He has given me a pearl necklace, n now this house. I wonder why is he gifting me so much today.
"Let's go inside Khushi" he tells me.
I open the door of the house, and there is a loud noise. I m confused. I hear the sound of bursting of balloons. I frown, closing my ears.
"Happy birthday Khushi" they scream. I can hear Naina, Nanheji n Arnavji's voice. I forgot my birthday? This is the first time that I have forgotten my birthday. That's why I am showered with gifts today. OK so this was Arnavji's plan. That's why he asked me to wear this off shoulder red designer gown.
The lights r on. I m stunned to see such beautiful decorations n lightings. My first birthday after my marriage has indeed been special. A drop of tear flows down my cheek.
"What happened? You didn't like it?" Arnavji asks worriedly.
"I loved it"I reply.
"Pagal, why r u crying?" Asks Naina.
"These r happy tears" I say.
N then jerk back, unable to bear the weight of these 3 people who are hugging me together. I try to hug them back, but I guess I can't handle three people together.
"Leave me, I will fall down" I cry, only to hear chuckles in response.
Finally they leave me. Nanheji n naina give me a few gifts. I thank them.
"So that's why you are gifting me since morning" I say looking at Arnavji, "you remembered my birthday?"
"How could I forget? Its your first birthday after our marriage"
I am overwhelmed. I give him a tight hug not minding nanheji n naina's presence.
I break the hug hearing Naina clearing her throat.
"I see somebody romancing openly" she teases me
"Haan toh, its our personal matter, you need not interfere doctor" Arnavji taunts.
"Who is talking to you Mr.Raizada? I m speaking to my sis" she mocks.
"Naina, Arnavji cmon its my birthday" I try to call them. These two can verbally fight till night, if left.
"Yup jaan, come let's cut the cake"
****************
I look at the chocolate cake. Its so beautiful. I loved it. I look at my husband thankfully. He nods in a no.
I blow the candles, they clap for me. I cut the cake, they r singing a birthday song for me. I take the cake near my Arnavji's mouth. I remember he is diabetic. My smile vanishes.
"You can't eat"I say sadly.
I keep the cake back. He holds my finger n licks the cream.
"This much won't harm", he says, "you fed me first dear" .A huge smile appears on my face. I feed the other piece to Naina, n then to Nanheji. Dadi is tired so she hasn't come yo attend the party. Else she would have come. I miss her.
We did lots of masti. We plsyed musical chair, dumbcharats. It liked childish but still it was good. In between I also found Nanheji n Naina stealing glances. Something is fishy. Then we all took selfies n danced too.
It was full of fun. It was my best birthday.
**********
Naina n No leave us alone n head back to home.
We or on the terrace. Well our house is far in the countryside. This house belonged to my parents but Mrs.Garima Gupta was taking care of the house n she said that she would officially make it on my name when I grow 18, but that never happened. She said they need the house for emergency purposes. I didn't argue then. But it was until last week that I didn't know that she was planning to sell the house without my permission. Arnavji told Me this. She wanted to sell it for a few lakhs, sio that she could improve their financial conditions. But how could she think of selling my house without my permission?
"Thank you Arnavji for giving me my house back"
"Did you like the party?"
"I loved it"
I look at the moonlit sky. It looks so beautiful.
"That's your Amma, n that's mine" he says pointing towards two shining stars. I look at him tearfully. He also misses his maa, I mean, our maa.
I give him a side hug. He makes me sit on the bed on the terrace. He holds my hand.
"Khushi I am sorry for whatever has happened in the past few days. I know I should have been there for you but maybe I got more busy with di.." I stop him placing my finger on his lips.
"I know you were wrong n you are guilty too. But I want to forget the past Arnavji. Yes I felt very lonely then, especially when you blamed me... N your family's partial behavior with me n Mrs.Jha. I can't forget it soon but.."
"Khushi I don't want to force you in this relationship, we can separate if you want"
"Wanna get rid of me so soon?" I ask him, in fact I mock him.
"No Khushi, you know I love to be with you but"
"I burnt it" I say.
"What?"
"The divorce papers. I knew it before. What did you think? You can get rid of me so soon? No Arnavji, I won't leave you so soon. After all I can't live without you. No matter what, I can't stop loving you"
I see a smile on his face. He cups my face.
"That means you give me a chance?" E asks. His eyes are teary. He kisses my forehead.
"I love you" he says. I feel his lips over mine. N in a few seconds I respond. We kiss like mad lovers.
*******
Next morning,
I m combing my hair. Last night was a memorable one. We took our marriage to a next level. I stop combing when he hugs me from behind.
"I was thinking why don't we go to London for a few days?" He says. I feel his neck over my shoulder.
" Why so suddenly?"
"Don't you think we need to GO for honeymoon? We haven't been for one since we got married" he says.
"I know its not the reason. You want to cheer my mood, you want to keep Me away from the family",I say holding his hand.
"Maybe, but still you know just you n me" he winks.
"Thanks for the concern. I love you Arnavji" I say while kissing his palm.
"Start packing tonight, we r leaving tom" I nod my head. He gets a call.
"What??" He looks serious. He keeps the phone. I see him worried.
"What happened?' I ask him with concern.
"They arrested Di...for Shyam's murder" his voice is low.
I am shocked. Shyam's murder?
