OS- Contemplations

A sob escaped her lips as she bent her head in shame in front of her DM, contemplating the disastrous turn of events the past few hours had taken. "I don't understand," she said. "How can the people who I've loved and cared for for all these years just leave me alone here? Bas ek minute mein paraya kar diya?" Now the tears were flowing

fast down her dejected face. First, she had been forced to marry the love of her life. Except he was not the same Arnav that had yelled at her for worrying him, that had gifted her bangles to see a smile on her face, that had become a waiter for her. Khushi Kumari Gupta had not married Arnav, but rather his alternate ego, ASR. She had seen this sudden transformation in the cold, steely look in his eyes and his glares of pure anger and disgust when he looked at her. Then, after being blackmailed to marry ASR, for which reasons she did not know, she was shamed in front of both the Raizada's and the Gupta's while her husband, the cause of the commotion had fled the scene. Their accusations were haunting Khushi, reminding her exactly what they thought of her now. A cheap, classless, and silly girl who had broken the trust of both families. Khushi wanted to scream in frustration. Why her? Why couldn't they have accused, manhandled, and broken their relations with Arnavji as well? Moving to the other side of the room, Khushi rested her head against the glass door, leading out to the pool area and looked up at the stars. As the stars she considered her deceased parents shone down on her, she felt an immediate sense of loss. Without meaning to, she let out a short empty chuckle at the irony of the situation. The people who she once thought were her world were so close to her while her parents, the only ones who really cared for her, were so far from her in a place where they could do nothing for their daughter. Ap ka ashirwaad dena ma aur babuji, ab humare pas ap log ke sive aur koi nahi hai.With that said, she turned around, wiped her tears and prepared herself to deal with the storm that with being Khushi Singh Raizada.
