"Don't
look so shocked. I'll pursue you this way or that.If you move back there I'll
shift there and open a AR industries there. I'll not rest until I get you back
khushi. So I suggest you think into the one month plan. As I'll give you a
written guarantee that if you leave after one month I'll sign the
papers and leave you alone. So which way will it be Mrs. Raizada?"
"Soon
to be Miss Gupta"
"We'll
see to that Khushi" Arnav chuckled.
"Fine
I'll do it. Only because I want to show you living with you doesn't affect me
in anyway and after one month I'll walk away with divorce papers"
"We'll
see to that Mrs. Raizada, we'll see to that"

Chapter
14
Khushi
felt nothing but loathing for the man driving beside her. Loathing!!! Who is
she kidding? Didn't she practically risk her own life to save his? Okay maybe
not loathing but she is definitely not going to give in to his demand. She
couldn't and wouldn't risk her heart again. She was too damaged to go through
all of it again. What if he again trampled her heart, what if he again
misunderstood her? Khushi knows Arnav has changed but really how much?? Didn't he just make a one month deal with her? First six months deal now one month deal... First he misunderstood her with Shyam and now Ajay!!! No matter what Arnav is never gonna change...
"Lets not tell our family about this one month deal. It'll shatter them. Lets just tell them that we want to give ourselves another shot" Arnav told her as soon as they reached Shantivan.
"And what will happen when I leave after one month"
"If you leave after one month we'll tell them it didn't work out and we want a divorce. A clean break. You won't need to run away again plus you can always come and visit Ayush and everyone else. I won't stand in your way. Do you really want to run again Khushi? Wouldn't you rather be close to your family"
"Fair enough. Although I'd rather that you tell your family and I'll tell mine. I want to go and spend two days with them. Tell them and come back. In between you can tell your family.I don't know how anyone will react to this"
"Sounds good to me but remember 30 days starts from day after tomorrow then. Do you want to go in or do you want me to drop you home"
"I want to go in, grab some stuff and then go home"
"I'll drop you."
"No need"
"Come on Khushi, you are very weak now and you promised me that you'll give me a chance so why are you denying?"
"One months starts from day after tomorrow right. So I'll give you a chance from day after tomorrow"
saying this she walked past him into the house.
Arnav was shocked for a moment and then he gave his signature smirk. Khushi wouldn't be khushi if she didn't argue back or give him quirky remark. God how he had missed this her. Khushi hating him he could manage as he had experience in that field but what he couldn't manage or tolerate was the indifference she was showing towards him since she came back.
His Khushi was back!!!!
...
It seemed weird to Khushi that after claiming to love her and asking her to give their marriage another chance Arnav hadn't contacted her even once. Except for the one sms telling her that he was really busy they hadn't been in contact for the last two days. Today he was supposed to take her back but he didn't even call. Will he come? Or did he change his mind...
She had told her parents that she and Arnav had decided to give their marriage another shot effectively hiding the one month clause from them. Buaji and amma was in tearn of happiness. She was going to her sasural and she was not leaving, what more could they ask from life. Seeingb them so happy made her feel very guilty. Was she doing the right thing??
But Bauji didn't seem happy at all. He took her to another room, sat beside her and held her hand.
"Bitiwa, I know you've grown up and can take your own decisions. I don't want to force my decisions upon you but are you doing the right thing?? I know my Khushi very well. She is not that sort of girl who runs away. If you ran away from your marriage the first time something big must have happened. O else you'd never leave us... And now you want to go back into that marriage once again. Think again sweetheart. I don't want to see you get hurt again. But if you think Arnav can make you happy, if you think he truly deserves a second chance I won't stop you but do think carefully before making a final decision."
Khushi finally told the truth to bauji that she didn't even want to acknowledge herself "After I left there were times when I regretted leaving. There were times when I felt like coming back, when I scolded myself for being a coward instead of proving my innocence. I know I might be doing wrong here bauji but I don't want to regret my whole life. If things don't go right we'll get a divorce and go our separate ways but I can't spend my whole life wishing "what if" bauji" Khushi told bauji with tears in her eyes. Bauji kissed her forhead and said "you've all grown up. I was scared but now I know you'll be able to take care of yourself.
...
Until now Khushi was telling herself no matter what she'll never give Arnav a chance and she'll leave him after the end of the month. She'll make his life a hell and make him suffer as much as she suffered. But what she told bauji was something she hadn't until then even acknowledged to herself. Now that she had she was more scared than ever. Part of her wanted to hurt him and part of her wanted to make him suffer and then leave him. Which part wins over is what we have to see here.
...
It was evening and Arnav hadn't still arrived yet. Khushi had finally given up hope and was really fuming inside when Arnav's voice could be heard from outside talking to one of the neighbors.
Ten seconds more and he rang the bell.
Garima opened the door and buaji started pampering him. Arnav looked at her sheepishly knowing that he was way late. He took her bag, bade them farewell and they sat in the car.
"I thought you are finally going to divorce me without the one month clause"
"ain't gonna happen"
"Then why were you late? Did you forget about it"
"Do you know you talk to much" he said giving her the boyish smile he sometimes used to give her. "I know ways to stop you but those are not allowed during the next 30 days" Arnav said smirking at her.
"Now you listen... dare talk with me again like that and this plan is over right at that moment"
"What!!! I was talking about jalebis... Jalebis shut you up good"
"Then why are you not allowed to give me jalebis the whole month??"
And they bickered the whole way home.
...
It wasn't a big shock to Khushi when she noticed Anjali standing infront of the door with a big pooja ki thaal and eyes brimming with tears and shining with happiness.
All the rest of the family members were gathered behind her and left no doubt that they were happy.
Mami was silently wiping her eyes and as soon as Mamaji looked at her she told dirtwa went inside her eyes.
They are so happy, they'll be totally devastated when she left.
Aniket gave her a hug and whispered "guess it was not such a bad decision to bring you here after all"
Arnav never was able to watch her with anyone else. If it was before he'd have pulled her out of his arms and give him his deadliest stare. Still now he couldn't see her hugging someone else but unlike before he just looked elsewhere.
He wondered how Khushi would react to his surprise.
He took her upstairs.
Khushi could feel that Arnav was tensed. She wondered why?
Arnav stood aside to let her enter first. Khushi opened the door and almost dropped Ayush who was in her lap.
"Oh my god"
