You guys don't know how hard it was to get in to a mindset to write this version of the story, cz I was just plagued by that article that came out and my other story ' SS: Living a nightmare(based on wedding promo)' was weighting down on me too. But I decided to end being depressed and went on with this one. I hope I did justice to this one. I just replayed the promo a few more times, specially that last eye-lock that spoke a thousand words of promises to get over the despair, and well the set of snaps they released today actually calmed me down and so.

And btw now this is a SS lol as u must have seen..😆

And thank u so so much for all those wonderful comments u guys have given me!!🤗 i read each and every one of them and i'm so sorry i won't be able to reply to all of them. Well i started, but it takes so much time and I'm trying to type up an update for Another Chance at Love so it needs time now.. Plus after i finish it only I'll PM too ok.

And here is the end of my rant and...

Here u go,

~Part 5~

And finally they were alone, alone after getting through the initial ordeal of dealing with the marriage, families and the excuses. It was just the two of them now. And both of them looked at each other as they realized this and Arnav quickly let go of her shoulder which he had been holding until that moment and then just as quickly averted their gaze so they were looking at anything but at each other.

After a few more seconds, or was it minutes they didn't know,

"Khushi"

"Arnavji"

They turned to face each other. And then again stared as they realized both of them spoke at once, expecting the other one to continue. And out of the blue Khushi started laughing softly and Arnav stared at her wondering what was so funny. And a few seconds later Khushi sobered up and said,

"sorry Arnavji but well the way we r both waiting for the other to talk and not knowing what to tell seemed funny cz until now we have always had something to tell each other"

And Arnav too smiled remembering a few of their old interaction but sobered up just as quickly and said,

"Khushi we need to talk"

"yes"

"Khushi we got married but that doesn't solve all the problems regarding that b a s t a r d. I need to think rationally about this problem."

'I need u out of his way' thought Arnav to himself as he realized that not only was his di in this mess but Khushi too. He needed to protect her too. And Arnav wondered if he had goaded Shyam too much as now not just one, but both women he loved was at stake here. But luckily Khushi was in a slightly better position now as she knew everything already.

And then he thought of all the facts laid out in front of them.

The bas***d was going to be in the same house as Khushi and he had to be out of the house whole day at the office. Payal was there too, but she would not be able to be with Khushi 24/7. And all of a sudden he asked her,

"Does Payal know of this?"

"no Arnavji I didn't tell jiji about what Shyam did to me today, I straight away came to talk to u as I wanted to tell u first"

"Khushi first thing tomorrow morning tell her everything. And I am going to talk to Akash too. That man is a psychopath, but we don't have to keep at least them n the dark" the sensible, rational side of him emerged and as the self preservation instincts kicked in he realized that they had to make this as safe as possible. Just being hot headed and riling up Shyam was not going to solve everything.

Khushi agreed.

And the serious talk being done with he started walking towards the bed to see her standing rooted to the spot and watching him with lowered lashes, a blush creeping up her porcelain cheeks. And he belatedly realized that it was their wedding night and he wished it could have been different, but he still hadn't forgiven her for not telling him, sure, he wasn't going to punish her for that cz as stupid as her reasoning had been she hadn't meant any ill will. But he needed time, in fact they needed time.

So he just walked back to her and said,

"Khushi come and sleep, it is late"

She stammered, "b..butt...wh.. where.." as the crimson blush deepened further.

He put his arm around her waist and pulled her up against his chest and said "khushi look at me" when she lowered her gaze.

"You r my wife, so obviously u r going to sleep in the bed with me!" and saying this he smirked at her and let go watching her getting completely flustered and enjoying it by the minute. And somehow trying to concentrate on anything except her as he felt his control thinning away, all good intention running out as he felt her silky softness during those few seconds when her petite form had molded with his.

"And Khushi, it is not like we haven't shared a bed before, now is it?" she blushed tomato red having been reminded of that night just a few weeks back on new year's eve when he had come to her room. And at the same time both of them remembered NK's voice saying, "today's astrology section said that whoever's face u see on the new year's eve, u'll spend ur whole life with that person"

And Khushi nodded a shy yes as she was too tongue tied to speak and slowly started walking towards the bed when an amused Arnav asked,

"So u r going to sleep in that dress? I don't think u'd get any sleep in that" and that broke the spell as she mumbled to herself more than to him,

"I didn't bring any clothes! How was I supposed to know I'd get married today?"

And he smiled at the innocent picture she made as she pouted as she said it. And without saying a word to her he went towards his wardrobe and took out a pair of sweat pants and a tee-shirt and walked towards her and held them out,

And when she still didn't make any move to take them and continued to stare incredulously at him, he slowly took hold of her hand and gave it in it and softly gave her a push towards the bathroom asking her to go and change.

And after she left he let go of the breath he was holding, it was getting harder not to grab her and make love to her then and there, cz finally she was his and he realized with a triumphant smile that he had today not just thwarted Shyam's plans but also attained the one thing he had wanted ever since that night so long ago when she had fallen in to his arms like a vision from heaven. She may not be perfect, she talked too much about mindless things and thought too much with the heart and hid things that were important. So yes she was flawed, but these flaws were the ones he had fallen in love with, the flaws that made her even more endearing. And yet he knew he needed to do this slow, this was not just about defeating Shyam, just getting rid of him will not let them win, this was their life too and they had to make that better, build trust.

Trust, he realized the one thing which seemed to lack between them that, at that time she had hesitated to come to him, he needed to make sure that it will not repeat, he will make sure she can trust him and that he can trust her too.

Thinking of these he went out near the pool side and stood there gazing at the dancing lights the ripples were making on the walls bathing the whole area with a tranquil blue. He needed this, he needed this silence to think clearly to plan what he was going to do.

And he was deep in thought when he heard the lock of the bathroom opening and he turned around to look,

A few minutes before..

Khushi closed the bathroom door behind her and slowly walked towards the mirror and stood in front of it, looking at her flushed face and twinkling eyes, too bright and she brought her hand up and softly touched the mangalsutra he had tied around her neck. And in frenzy as if to make herself feel this was real she clutched at it harder and then she blushed further looking at the clothes in her other hand. And she let go of the mangalsutra and touched the clothes softly and with a wide smile on her face hugged them to her heart, it was his.

And then only she realized how relieved she felt at that moment. When this day started and he came to help her with the serving she had no idea so much would happen, so much things would change. But then Shyam had practically assaulted her and showed her how much demented he was. And now she started sobbing tears of relief that he had believed in her, believed that she couldn't betray him, that she was not a home-breaker..

She wondered if he knew she loved him, cz that was what she felt for him, she admitted to herself for the first time, and again thought about how she thought just a few hours ago that he was going to tell her the same. How far away those carefree moments felt. It was like from another time, a lifetime ago.

And thinking of all these things she showered and changed in to his far too big clothes, the pants were almost double the size for her and she rolled up the legs so she can walk and the tee shirt fell past her knees and she pushed back the sleeves and held the pants around the waist as they were slipping down and kept her hand on the lock of the bathroom..

And well I hope this was not dragged, but well I wanted them to talk, for a change! Talk things through rather than taking one hurried step after another as they usually do, which always make them end in a mess.
