Dear friends,
Here is as promised, my second story on Arshi - Reawakening.
Please note, few of the scenes will be very similar to the show. This will be in the first few chapters, they the story will surely, slowly take a twist..
Thanks to all who supported my first story Devi Maiyyas Wish.
Hope I get all your kind support to carry this lovely saga of Arshi forward.
Reawakening
Prologue..
"You have the habit of leaving your things here and there. Just like you had left your payal (anklet) near the pool. Your payal was with me, don't give a different meaning to it, don't think a rich man was holding it to his heart. It does not mean anything to me
Holding the banister with one hand, heartbroken, tears pooling in the eyes, Khushi repeated in a whisper, looking deep into his eyes "does not mean anything...
Snarling at her, "May be for you it does, as of me, you or that thing (referring to the encounter by the pool a few hours ago) does not have any importance, no importance at all
Not able to see the dam of tears break, he turned away and strode to his car, leaving behind Khushi, weeping silently when the whole world around her revelled.
Revelled it was diwali. Revelled Khushi had broken all his self imposed barriers, revelled that Arnav Singh Raizada had in spite of realising his love for Khushi, accepted Lavanya.
Non acceptance - her greatest Diwali gift for the year. Non acceptance of her love. Love as pure as ever, which did not look into his ruthlessness, arrogance, status or money.
Just once glance he thought, but probably should have discarded that thought, for what he saw broke his heart into millions of pieces. Khushi stood holding the rails blankly staring into space, with pearls of tears streaming down uncontrollably.
*********************************************
She had none to blame. "Khushi, you knew they were always going to get married, it is a disgrace you have let your emotions run without reigns. How could you allow it to happen? What took over you? If that phone call had not come, what a disaster it would have been for you. You would have proved to Arnav Singh Raizada his beliefs about middle class girls were correct. Giving your heart to a monster! What is your aukat (status). Wake up Khushi, wake up to reality!!
"See how she is roaming around the town at this time of the day. She will bring disgrace to the family one day. Mark my words Garima. We have butter in our hands and looking for ghee everywhere. what will be of this girl, Hai re nandkishore wailed buaji..
"Hey Devi maiyya, why are you testing me today? Is this the last one or have you got any more for me? I cannot see my family's agony. I cannot bear Buaji's pressure anymore. What do you want me to do?.
"Ok, Buaji if it will make you all happy, I am ready finally conceding Khushi went to her Babuji's room, who was suffering , dying every minute. Holding his hand she cried. Cried for her broken heart, cried for her existence, cried for loosing her mind in an instant and letting her Babuji down.
"How could she feel happy for me? How dare she congratulate me? How can she bear this with a smile when I am dying inside? How dare, how dare!! roared the angry young man throwing away the glass of water held in his hand...
