Part 7; And Thus Was born the love worth fighting for.
"Khushi for the sake of Di..I don't think we should get married'." Arnav said in his husky tone.
"Lekin'But'You said you love me and now.." Khushi wept feeling weaker once again unable to understand. How could their possibly be more complications?
"Shhh'Hey heyy..You didn't let me finish'" Arnav said wiping the tears from her face, loosing himself in her moist eyes. "You promised me you'll do anything for me na Khushi? No questions asked.."
"Ji Arnavji.." She wept softly.
"I can't bare to be without you..but I know what you mean too..we can't do this to Di..not now.."
Khushi looked at him scared, lost, confused, she couldn't bare to be torn apart from him not even for a few days let alone months'
"So, Khushi, when Di is around, act like you still hate me'like you're scared of me'.like when we first met'" He grinned remembering every moment they had, the way Khushi would always go back and back and back'and he would always go forward..closer.
"Bu-"
"You promised'No questions asked.." Said Arnav quickly.
"Khushi, Deko and then when Di isn't around we can be together'"
"Arnavji, but she knows we love each other we hugged in front of them all.."
" Khushi, no one even realised, I mean they know I was just protecting you, please? For Di'For me?"
"Anything..For you." Said Khushi admiring Arnav even more for his love for his sister and for her.
1 Week Later;
Things had been adjusting back to the way they were, but the ever-lasting silence remained in the Raizada Mansion. Nani&Mami began to get back to their usual household routines, Anjali hadn't left her room at any point during the week, the only time anyone caught sight of her was when Arnav went to give her her meals and make sure she ate them. Akash & Payal had grown closer and Akash comforted Payal at her every tear. Arnav on the other hand just sat there, worrying about his sister and thinking about Khushi. He hated that they had to be apart for the week till things simmered down.
At the Gupta house everyone was quiet and lost in their own worlds, unsure of what to say.
Khushi hadn't eaten since she left a week ago from Raizada Mansion, she just occasionally walked out of her room for a Jalebi and then went right back to her bed wishing all the pain away.
"Payalji please call everyone downstairs and call the rest of your family, I need to speak with everyone." Said Anjali softly. It was the first time she had been down stairs since thee betrayal of her evil, sick minded husband.
"Ji Anjaliji" Said Payal, happy to see her downstairs.
Within the space of 5 minutes every Raizada was there waiting for the arrival of the Gupta's. Arnav looked at his sister worriedly, "Di..aap teek to hai na?" he said his voice shaking.
"Chotey, its nothing like that, don't worry. Bilkul teek hai." Said Anjali softly sitting down beside her brother on the sofa.
Nani&Mami Perked up at the sound of Anjali's voice as it felt like forever since they had heard her speak, Payal & Akash sat hand in hand on the sofa waiting for the Gupta's.
Just then there was a knock on the door, HP walked swiftly towards the door and welcomed the guests.
Nani stood up and went to greet the Gupta's, meanwhile Arnav had his gaze fixed on Khushi. How he was glad to see her shining face in his house, how he had missed her. He wanted to run up to her and hold her, but he couldn't. The plan had to be followed. For Di.
"Namaste everyone. Thank you all for coming here, I just wanted to speak to you all regarding the events of the past week. Everyone has been through a lot, but I want to move on from that, I don't want any more tears or sadness wasted for someone that never cared. All of us have been hurt but now we have spent a week in silence. That is more than enough, I want everything to go back to the way it was and I want to forget it, it shouldn't be mentioned nor thought of again the RM." Said Anjali bravely.
Everyone was touched at her kindness, her sincerity and her courage. They all smiled and nodded in agreement.
Anjali turned to Khushi, Anjali felt Khushi had suffered more than herself; "Khushiji, Im sorry for what you had to go through'"
Khushi stood up immediately, she hugged Anjali once more and nothing more was said after that. Her eyes had said it all to Anjali, Anjali was touched and felt so lucky to know someone so special as Khushi.
Arnav watched the two most important people in his life stand together, he had never felt so thankful in his life.
Within a few days the light restored itself back to the world for the Raizada's & Gupta's. They had been strong and everything had gone back to normal, Khushi started eating again, Nani & Mami began their usual fights. Anjali did her usual rituals and began to smile again. As for Arnav, he was dying inside, he was beyond happy that his sister was being strong but he missed Khushi immensely. He had seen her after a week for about 20 minutes and hadn't seen her since. He needed to find a way to bring her to the Raizada Mansion'and fast. But it seemed like fate had its own plan ready for them.
"Chotey can you call Khushiji over, I need her help for preparing for a Ritual, Plus the house seems dull without Khushi'" Anjali said sweetly, smiling.
Arnav turned on his act and scowled at her name hoping his Di would believe his charade. Anjali smiled, falling right into the plan.
"Chotey I know you & Khushiji have some differences but please just call her over here.."
"Okay Di, Fine. For you." Said Arnav turning away and grinning in satisfaction.
Things were finally working out for him, his sister was happy again and he had the love of his life.
Arnav walked up to his room and dug his phone out of his pocket and dialled Khushi's number;
"Hello?"
"Khushi its me!"
"Arnavji? Aap? Are you okay?" Said Khushi worriedly.
"Shhh Khushi, Di wants you to come over and help her with a Ritual preparation, I've missed you'" Said Arnav grinning.
"Okay Arnavji, I've missed you too..feels like forever.."
"Khushi don't forget to go with the plan, don't worry Khushi'We'll be together soon."
And with that Khushi left for Raizada Mansion all in a daze, the sound of his husky voice was intoxicating enough, she was over the moon that she would be seeing him again..and those eyes which could melt her in a split second'
"Come in Khushiji, Aap kese hai?" Said Anjali in her usual caring tone.
"Hum bikul teek hai aur aap kese hai Anjaliji?"
"Hum be teek hai, Thank you for coming to help me Khushiji"
"Koi baat nahi" Said Khushi smiling.
"Oh Khushiji, I forgot to tell Chotey Aman called earlier, he said that the office is almost done..could you just go an give him the message for me please?"
Khushi played her role perfectly and just nodded acting like it was the worst possible thing Anjali could have said; but once her back turned her heart did a flip, she was going to see him..
Khushi made her way gently up the steps; her hair blowing into her face at the feel of his presence, she knocked on his door gently and walked in carefully.
"Arnavji'."
Arnav jumped up at the sound of hearing his name and there stood before him was his beautiful treasure.
