SS: Arnav-Khushi MU cleared without kidnap track - Page 10

Khushi, her eyes tearing up, kept dialing even though Arnav wasn't picking up. He has to call me back, once he sees all these missed calls. As she dialed, she heard the sound of dhol playing from the living room. Arnavji, why did you have to leave.. she thought.. I did all this for you.. so that you won't be upset.. and then that Shyam.. he ruined everything! Then she felt a hand on her shoulder, she raised her eyebrows and turned around excited screaming, Arnavji! But it was Shyam. As she turned around, he folded his arms and looked at her smiling villainously. "What Khushiji, your husband left you alone? and what is this? tears? you are upset?" He started moving forward and she moved back. "How dare you come into this room?" she screamed. Shyam reached out to grab her, and she moved back again. "Well your husband is not here.. you are upset.. someone should console you". Khushi was angry, her face furious she yelled, "I would rather die than have you touch me with those filthy hands.. how many times have I told you to stay away from me?" Shyam laughed, "and has that worked so far, Khushiji? Arnav has made it easier for me to get closer to you because he is never at your side. He married you and now I have you right where I want and exactly the way I want.. under the same roof, all alone and helpless.." He brought his hand closer to her face and she shrugged away. "Poor Khushiji.. you can't leave because of him and you are all alone because he doesn't trust you! Do you know why Arnav hates you, Khushiji.. do you?" Shyam moved closer and continued, with an evil smile. "It's because of me.. because I told him that we loved each other and that we cannot live without each other.." Khushi was shocked. She froze and stared at Shyam, unsure of how to react. So Shyam told him and Arnav believed him?

Khushi's thoughts were interrupted when the phone in her hand started ringing. She looked at it and was about to pick it up, but Shyam beat her to it and threw the phone to the floor. "Ha.. Arnav is trying to call you? There's no use. He won't help you Khushi.. He thinks you and I are having an affair and he trusts me more than you..If he finds me with you, I will tell him that you seduced me.. and he will hate you more.. I want to hold you once.. I want you to be mine.. I want us to be one tonight.. I have waited too long for this.. I can't wait any longer.." Khushi screamed.. "Don't you dare touch me.. get away from me.. I will scream for help". Shyam laughed, "Oh really, you will? No one can hear you.. everyone is downstairs.. and the sound of the dhol will drown your screams.." Khushi tried to run towards the bathroom, but Shyam was too quick for her. He pushed her against the wall and she cried, "Leave me alone.. " she struggled to free herself as he tried to kiss her. "Don't you dare.. how many times should I tell you.. that I don't love you.. I detest you .. get out of this room.." There was a knock on the door and they heard Anjali's voice.. "Khushiji, are you inside.. we miss you downstairs.. come down". Shyam heard it and ran out through the poolside. Khushi ran to the door and opened it and hugged Anjali. Anjali looked at Khushi and was shocked. Her saree and her hair had been ruffled. "Khushiji, are you alright?" Khushi tried to smile and said, "Yes, Di.. I slept off and had a nightmare". Khushi quickly combed her hair and smoothened her saree and walked down to the living room with Anjali.

When Arnav walked into the living room, he found Khushi dancing with Payal and Anjali. She was laughing and dancing as if she had no worry in this world. His eyes teared up and he closed his eyes.. the voice mail.. his heart was breaking as he remembered what he had heard.. "I would rather die than have you touch me with those filthy hands.. how many times have I told you to stay away from me".. "and has that worked so far, Khushiji?" "Arnav has made it easier for me to get closer to you" " I have you right where I want and exactly the way I want.. under the same roof, all alone and so helpless" "you are all alone because he doesn't trust you". The voice mail had ended there and as he drove back like a madman, he dialed Khushi's phone. She had picked up the call (Arnav didn't know that the call was accidentally taken when Shyam threw it to the floor). What he heard had made him ram his foot on the accelerator. " I want to hold you once.. I want you to be mine.. I want us to be one tonight.. I have waited too long for this.. I can't wait any longer" .. "how many times should I tell you.. that I don't love you.. I detest you".. She never loved him.. how could I be so stupid.. why did I never believe her.. He opened his eyes and looked at her again. He noticed that Shyam was staring at Khushi. She noticed Shyam then and she moved to the other side to dance with Nani. Shyam slowly walked to the other side, and stopped to stare at Khushi again. Arnav forced his hand into a fist, but then he saw Payal move in front of Shyam and say something to him, her face annoyed. Arnav noticed that Khushi excused herself and ran up the stairs. Arnav started following her but then stopped as he saw Shyam walking to Anjali. "Where did Khushiji go again' I wonder if she is upset that Arnav is not here.. Do you want me to go check on her again and see if she is alright". Anjali was happy, she smiled and nodded her head. Arnav was shocked, how could Di be so innocent! Arnav walked quickly and stopped right behind Shyam. He put his hand on his shoulder and said, "It's ok Jijaji.. I will go to Khushi.. she is MY wife.. she is my responsibility". Anjali was happy to see Arnav, but before she could say anything, Arnav turned around and ran up the stairs.

Khushi had locked the door from inside. She didn't want Shyam wandering into the room again. She put her head in her hands and started crying. "Where is Arnavji? Why has he not come home yet? I did all this to make him happy.. and then.. why did that Shyam have to say that then? how can I convince Arnavji that there is nothing going on between Shyam and I.. and that I detest him.. that I hate him more than I have ever hated anyone in my life.. and that all this while I have loved and cared about only one.." She lifted her head up and stopped crying.. "how do I convince Arnavji that I really care.. " She looked around, "Where is my phone..? " She was about to get up and look for it when she remembered what had happened with Shyam earlier. "How could Shyam even think that I would.. chee.. " She started crying again. Then Khushi looked up, wiped her tears.. "Enough Khushi. If Arnav sees you crying again, he will get mad at you.. he wanted you to act happy.. and that's what you will do.. enough.. and anyways, if Jiji or Di see me upset, they will get upset and Di.. she shouldn't be concerned about me now.. no no.. no more tears, Khushi.. enough.. " She got up, looked around for her phone and saw it lying next to the bed. She kneeled down next to it and looked at it. "Arnavji didn't even call me after all the times I called him.. " Her eyes teared up again and she stood up and wiped her tears. "No, once he comes back home, I will talk to him again.. I will make sure he listens to me.. I will beg if I have to .. I have to make him believe me.. I can't keep living this way.. I want him to trust me.. I want him to love '" she stopped and looked at her phone. She bit her lips and closed her eyes, as if trying to control her tears. Then she smiled and she ran to the door, opened it and stepped out into the corridor.

Arnav slid against the wall down onto the ground next to the pool. Arnav leaned against the poolside wall, tears running down his cheeks.. Khushi, why did I not trust you earlier.. you never loved Shyam! he thought. "He married you and now I have you right where I want and exactly the way I want.. under the same roof, all alone and helpless".. "He won't help you Khushi.. He thinks you and I are having an affair and he trusts me more than you"... "I want you to be mine.. I want us to be one tonight.. I have waited too long for this.. I can't wait any longer".. Arnav's eyes popped open and his eyes were red and furious. How dare he.. how dare he touch my wife.. Then his eyes softened and filled with tears. "I will tell him that you seduced me.. and he will hate you more".. and I would have believed that if I had seen them together.. How could I believe Shyam? and he was right about me.. I made it so easy for him to get to Khushi.. How could I not trust Khushi.. when deep down I knew she was innocent and I wanted her to be innocent.. and even then I believed Shyam.. He hit his head against the wall, crying his heart out uncontrollably, tears rolling down his cheeks. How could I do this to her? He remembered when he had forced her to marry him and then on their suhaag raat, how he had locked her out of the room. He remembered every time he had insulted her, and finally on the terrace when he threw the stars away and then on the bridge when he insulted her more. He closed his eyes trying to control his tears. What will I do now? How can I face her? He opened his eyes, furious. Shyam, you will never touch my wife again! I can't do anything to you now because of my sister.. but you wont be lucky for long.

Arnav stood up and walked into his room. He walked to the side of the bed and took one of Khushi's stars in his hand. His eyes teared up again, "Khushi", he softly whispered. "I trust you.. I knew you would be innocent.. but I was scared.. scared that you would leave me too like my mom did.. I thought if I hated you, then the pain of losing you would be less.. but I could never hate you.. how could I.. because I.. because I always.." he closed his eyes and he remembered what she said "and that all this while I have loved and cared about only one.." He opened his eyes, and thought.. was she talking about.. me? He remembered how upset she was the day of Payal's mehndi when she thought he had disappeared and how she was scared when he had touched her and after he kissed her. She loved me and I .. he closed his eyes again and sat down on the bed. He remembered what Khushi had said on the bridge about how Shyam had betrayed her family by lying to them, how he had gotten engaged and why she never told him because she was concerned about Anjali and Arnav. He remembered the day she had cried on his shoulder next to the poolside when she almost told him what her fianc had done to her. If only she had told me that day, but .. but she was concerned about Di? concerned about how I would be upset.. He remembered what she said earlier, "if Jiji or Di see me upset, they will get upset and Di.. she shouldn't be concerned about me now.. no no.. no more tears, Khushi".. she didn't want others to be upset, so she controlled her tears.. he remembered how she seemed fine after he accused her of having an affair with Shyam. She didn't want to upset Buaji and Garima, so she put on a brave face. He closed his eyes and a tear rolled down his cheek. "I want him to trust me.. I want him to love.." Yes Khushi, he thought.. I will show you how much I love you.. and how I trust you.. I will not let Shyam or anyone else ever hurt you again.. I will make sure that you will never have tears in your eyes again.. He got up, wiped the tears off his face and ran to the door.
