Now, here's the THIRD part...
Arnav in office...lost in his thoughts...
Arnav- (to himself-''Why those tears last night? Why such innocence? Why didn't she let me see to her burnt hand today? She reacts as if, she doesn't KNOW anything...as if...she isn't aware of what she has done...but...what if she really isn't? What if she's really innocent? Should I ask her? NO. That would strike a disaster...what if she denies? How can I believe her if she denies...and what if she accepts out loud about her and Shyam being together?'' He gritted his teeth at the very thought of it! ''But, isn't it what I saw that night? Then why is my mind saying something else..and my heart something else entirely...NO. Not heart...conscience. Yes. Conscience. The tug of war is between my conscience and Mind''...he explained himself...but little did his comatose brain knew that its his heart jumping around in his chest and screaming at the top of its voice that Khushi is innocent and not his conscience...his conscience is just in a poor state because of what he had done with that poor girl!
(Now absolutely irritated with himself, he decides to leave for home as he couldn't concentrate in his office, and he needed to think about the way to know the truth too...)
Meanwhile at the RM...Khushi, Payal ,Nani, Anjali and mamiji are all sitting together...and talking about love,life and relationships...
Anjali(dreamily)- I am so lucky to have found such a husband...he is so caring...and loving...what would I have done without him? I have the best family and the best husband, a baby to come...what more could I ask for? Humein toh humara rajkumar mil gaya...(smiles shyly)
Khushi:(To herself-"Di is so innocent and sweet, little does she know that the husband she worships and loves from the bottom of her heart is such a creep...and doesn't love her...how can I ever tell this woman that she's being cheated by the man she trusts the most in this world?"...khushi's really depressed after hearing Anjali's constant appreciations for her husband...)
Payal:(Looks at khushi-then thinks to herself-"I know what you must be thinking thinking Khushi...Di will be shattered if she ever comes to know about that moron husband of hers...I wish..she could've married a better person..."...Even Payal's sad thinking about Anjali...when...)
Anjali(to payal and khushi): Arreh...aap dono ka munh kyun latka hua hai? Aakhir aap dono ko bhi toh aap dono ka rajkumar mila hai..(Grins) (why do you two look so depressed? After all, even you two have got your prince charming!)
Nani: (Smiling widely) Haan..bilkul!( Yes)
Khushi(forces a smile for them..and thinks.."Yes, he is my prince...the One who reigns my heart, my soul...the one..I love...but my Prince...hates me...and the saddest part is that he doesn't trust me...and I don't belong in his life...I never have..probably never will.."...her eyes starts to tear...)
Payal:(Shyly) Yes..I got my prince charming...
Mamiji: Hello hi bye bye. Aaf course tumko rajkumar mila hai..humra beta rajkumar se kam naahi hai, khoon bhai taang! Pata nahi oo tum jaisi ladki ko kahe pasand...(Of course my son's a prince, but I don't know hy he chose you...)
Nani(intervenes): Manorama..aap chup ho jaiye.( shut up, manorama)
Khushi: Arreh Di, aapke juice ka time hogaya hai...hum abhi laate hain...aur nani ji..apke dawai ka..(Di, you now have to take your juice and nani, you need to take your medicines)
(All of them looks fondly at Khushi...admiring her for the way she takes care of them...)
Arnav is about to reach..
All the female Raizadas..retires to their rooms..when Shyam enters Arnav and Khushi's room to take that file...he had stolen the key from Arnav's wallet that very morning when Arnav was taking his shower and Khushi was not in the room...
Shyam: Abb toh saale sahab ka khazana haath aa hi gaya...aap bhi na saale sahab...apne ek laute jija ji se kyun koi baat kaise chupa sakte hain?(Grins wickedly)
Khushi had been returning from Anjali's room,after giving her the juice when she remembers that she has again left her clothes by the poolside and decides to take them off and strip the room off her every belonging...as she suddenly remembers Arnav scolding her for her things lying around..
Khushi enters the room and is shocked to see Shyam taking out some file from the locker...
Khushi:(angrily) What the hell do you think you are doing?
Shyam(jumps out of his skin): K-kuch nahi khushi ji...hum toh bas...w-woh...apna ...uh...Kurta...dekhne aaye the ( Stammers that he had been just checking for his shirt)
Khushi(now angrier): And, is THAT your shirt? (points at the file he was holding)
Shyam: Nahi..yeh toh bas...hum aise hi...woh Khushi ji...(can't think of any excuse...pathetic villain he is! I tell you! Seriously)
Khushi: Keep that file back. RIGHT now.
Shyam(now gets nasty): Khushi ji...aap toh humse aise baat kar rahi hain jaise hum koi paraye ho aapke liye (you are talking to me as if I am some stranger..)
Khushi: Paraye bhi aisi ghatiya harkat nahi karte shyam ji...(Even strangers don't do something so disgusting..)
Shyam(now is in full creep-wa mode, goes and holds khushi by her shoulders...) Khushi ji...hum itne bhi bure nahi hai jitna aap hume samajhti hain...hum toh yeh sab aap hi keliye kar rahe hain...aur aap humein ghatiya samajh rahi hain? Ghatiya toh woh Arnav hai...jo...(Khushi, I am not that bad..i am doing all this for you...and I am not as disgusting...as that Arnav...)
Khushi(Shouts): STOP. Arnav ji ka naam apne munh se matt lijiye...aapse toh kai gunah acche hain woh...aur aap...chodhiye hume..CHODHIYE! (Stop. Don't you dare take Arnav's name. He is much better than you are..and leave me...)
Shyam(smiles wickedly): Aapko chodhne keliye thodi na pakkda hai khushi ji...aap humein abb gussa dila rahi hain...woh Arnav aapko pakkadta hai tab toh aapko dikkat nahi hoti...toh humare pakkadne se kyun? Aur dekhiye na...khusi ji...hum yeh papers humare future keliye lene aaye the...(I haven't been holding onto you to let go of you, and now you are making me angry...when that Arnav holds you, you don't mind...then why are you minding now? and these papers are for our future...)
Khushi(Now ballistic...tries to push him away but he was much stronger than her...): Future? Kaunsa future? Hum aapke saath KABHI nahi rahenge...KABHI nahi.. hum Di ko kabhi dhoka nahi de sakte..aur naa hi Arnav ji ko...aur aapse toh humein ghinn aati hai... yeh papers andar rakh dijiye warna hum...(future, what future? I won't ever come with with you...I can't back stab Di or Arnav ji..and you keep those papers back..or else...)
Shyam: Warna kya Khushi ji? Maarengi humein? maariye na...Aur yeh aap kis Arnav ki baat kar rahi hain? Woh hi..jisne aapse zabardasti shaadi ki?(or else what khushi ji? You'll slap me? c'mon...slap me...and whom are you talking about NOT backstabbing? The guy who forcefully married you?)
All this while...Arnav had been standing in the doorway and listening...he
is stunned ...this revelation had shook him to the core...he couldn't move his leg to save Khushi from that Vice like grip of that creature's! He couldn't even blink, even if he wanted to...his whole world turned upside down...
*But...Khushi's small sobs moved him...something other than his almost comatose brain worked...maybe this time...it was his heart...because he moved...and moved to save his Khushi...his life... his soul...*
Arnav(in a menacing whisper): Let go of her Shyam. Right. Now.
Shyam and khushi are both stunned...Shyam drops his hands from Khushi's shoulders...and is about to flee away when...
Arnav: (Angrily strides up to him...holds his collar...and says in a low, but very clear and very menacing voice) This is the last time you are touching my girl. The. very. last time. If, I see you...ONE more time, even LINGERING around her, or even YOU laying your bloody eyes on her (Pause)...Your hands and your eyes, both will be out of their respective sockets. Is that clear? If you wouldn't have been my Di's husband...I would have killed you, RIGHT now.
I had warned you before too, and this is seriously last time, I am repeating it.
(At that moment..khushi's surprised as hell that he knew about Shyam...then the truth of her marriage dawns on her...)
Shyam(the coward that he is...Runs away..!)
Arnav is trying to control his anger when he turns around and sees Khushi...sitting on the floor and crying brokenly. He had never witnessed such a scene before...and he had never before felt this way...he felt as if every broken sob of hers was tearing through his heart...every tear of hers branding his soul...he knew that he deserved the pain...but he knew one more thing, that his Khushi didn't. She never deserved any pain.
Arnav(squats down and whispers) Khushi...
Khushi(is now simply sitting ,not looking at him and doesn't give any reaction...)
Arnav: Khushi...? I...I...am...(gulps) ...khushi?...Idhar dekho na...look at me...
Khushi:(A wretched sob tears from her heart)
Arnav(felt as if someone had kicked him in the gut!) Khushi...please...
Khushi...(mumbles...is barely audible..) kya bacha hai bolne keliye ab? aapne ek baar bhi humse poochne ki...?(what's left to say? you didn't even once try to ask...she left the words unsaid..)
Arnav(Quickly):aise matt bolo na... Bahot kuch bacha hai bolne keliye...mujhe...(khushi interrupts)
Khushi(looks him in the eye, and Arnav's heart dropped at what he saw there...and that was mistrust..he couldn't bear it...and imagined Khushi living with him everyday, and sensing those mistrust in his eyes too...his stomach hollowed out!) Aapko pata tha? Aapne humse issliye shaadi ki...kyunki aapko..l-laga..t-tha..k-ki..hum aur..sh-shyam j-ji...(feels disgusted and looks away..)
Arnav(doesn't really know what to say, sits on the floor cross legged...and tries to console her...he keeps her hand on her shoulder when she looks at him and gives him the "unbelievable" look...her eyes seemed to say-'after all this..how can you even think of consoling me,?' and jerks off his hands...gets up...and runs away from the room...)
That jerking off his hand had been like a slap to Arnav's face...he felt wretched inside...he felt ill...felt bile rising in his throat as he remembered all those moments when he had hurt her...all the while thinking that Khushi had been the threat to his Di's life...but somewhere he knew that Khushi was innocent...but WHY hadn't he believed that voice inside him? Why did he keep ignoring it?
Even after all this, Khushi didn't yell at him...shout at him.as he expected her to...barely said anything to him...yes he was at fault...yes he wronged her...but...not intentionally...
he needed to make her believe him..."needed her trust back...at any cost...
he needed her in his life...needed her support..her care...her...love? No. Did she love him? Like he did? No. this is not the time to think all this, Right now, I just need to make her believe me...just need to apologize...all this can be talked about later..."
Little did this lovely fool knew that no apologies...no words..no promises can bring her back...except his declaration of that pure, heart felt, warm, passionate love...he felt for her...
He suddenly remembered the way she was sitting and crying on the floor..."she looked so vulnerable...as if..she might break...might?" he shook his head..."She IS broken. And I am at fault..."
He thought that his world hadn't turned upside down, instead, it had collapsed! And he needed Khushi to resurrect it again...and together...they will...once again...
* TO BE CONTINUED.*
