..-Prologue-.."Get out!" I said as I saw the servants back inside the room.
He had been away for several days, sometimes I blamed myself for him staying away from the worlds best family, his family, and now mine. Though he was a tough nut to crack on the outside, he was just as soft from the inside. Though he displayed himself as a dictator of the world on the outside, but with his family, he was just a kid deprived from love at a young age.
"Why the hell am I thinking about him!!" I yelled at myself attracting the servants one more time.
They still hadn't left! Hehad left his so called servants with me. They all surrounded me day and night, when he departed. It was getting on my nerves. How could he call this love? How could he say he loves me more than anything every morning but always take actions tht make me wonder wether it's even love.
Every time I tried to change my ways of thinking of him, it brought me back to what I originally thought of him. He proudly said he loved me but how can he call, taking my freedom away from me a part of his love. This was not love it was obsession. Obsession, and possession. Nothing more than that. How could I call this love?
He was very possessive of me, but his obsession and possessiveness never proved to me that he loved me. If taking my freedom away my happiness and my will to live, away, meant that he loved me, I would have never fallen in love. This just meant that he didn't trust me. Though he was the number one business man of India, and the Owner of Sheesh Mahal, he still didnot have the manners to be one.
I thought of the day I met him. My actual first meeting with him. The day, the fateful day my whole life changed. My happy go lucky life, turned into a crazy hectic life.Every time I remembered that fatefull day I met him because of my stupid mistake, I hated myself more.
*..Flashback..*I joined Payal as she walked towards the pani puri stand. It was a new years eve. A party was held at Sheesh Mahal. Like every year, everyone in Lucknow, came to the Sheesh Mahal, to celebrate it along with the owners of Sheesh Mahal, who were considered to be the royals as they always gave charity. Every year, many marriages turned out to be the result of the meetings at the Sheesh Mahal.
I stared at all the families going towards the Sheesh Mahal. Everyone looking just perfect. All the males dressed up to please girls. But all the girls dressed up to please the ASR like every other year. All girls just wished that maybe only once they get the sight of the number one businessman in India Arnav Singh Raizada. But all I wanted to do was enjoy my new years eve with Payal as we enjoyed Pani Puri and walked towards our favorite place, the lake.
I could careless about getting the attention of the ASR slash businessman slash laad governor. I smirked at the name I had given him, after reading a news paper article in which he acted as a dictator. Did he ever consider himself lucky? I thought.
His whole life was perfect! He had something that I was deprive from, in my childhood. The love of a family. But he acted as if he could careless that he had something most people yearned for. Stupid laad governor. But at least I had Payal.
My cousin, we both were orphans. Spending our whole life in an orphanage, we had learned how to live our life happily. We learned how to take care of each other. We were the only family that the other had. I shuddered as I remembered the day our parents car fell off the hill. Tears made their way down. I saw a hand, holding a white cloth towards me. I stared at the male in front of me, and my hand clutched onto Payals, who was seated next to me on the bench next to the lake.
She also stared, the guy eventually took the hand kerchief back as Payal wiped my tears away with her hand.
Another male came towards the one in front of us. He whispered something and both walked towards a group of males, who were seated on a beautifully decorated table. Hewas just wow. His face was covered due to the darkness. But his body was just wow. Broad shoulders, big muscles. I would've thought him to be ASR himself but, why would ASR come here. He was a busy man.
The guy who had offered me a hand kerchief stood up and shook hands with the three males as do the guy next to him. The males started walking towards our lake. I clutched Payals hand scared. Payal just assured me with a nod.
We both stood up. As we heard the broad shoulder guy speak about breaking the bridge above the lake and draining the water and expanding the ground to make a fashion house. Me and Payal stared at each other with tears in our eyes. This was the last memory we had of our parents. KHUSHI KUNARI GUPTA WOULD NEVER LET ANYONE RUIN THIS.
I walked towards the guys.Payal smiled and nodded as she took my hand. The guys saw us walking towards them. The other guys had left. It was the two guys only.The other man walked towards us. I hesitantly took his hand and roughly dragged him towards where Payal won't be able to hear me.
The guy just let himself be dragged and I hesitated but kept walking, I finally stopped.
"HOW DARE YOU!!" He said. His voice was like an alpha speaking.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled. This was not Khushi speaking, it was the daughter who had lost her parents but would never let their last memory be gone.
"HOW DARE YOU!! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO!!!!" The guy yelled!
HOW DARE YOU!! HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK OF MAKING A FASHION HOUSE HERE!! ON THIS GROUND!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS LAKE THIS PLACE MEANS TO ME!!! DO YOU!!!?? THIS IS THE LAST MEMORY OF MY PARENTS AND I WILL NEVER MEVER LET YOU!! YOU STUPID IDIOT MAKE A FASHION HOUSE HERE!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! YOU DON'T KNOW ME YET!! I KNOW THE RAIZADAS AND IF I WANT I CAN TELL ASR TO MAKE YOU REGRET, FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT TRASHING THIS PLACE WITH YOUR STUPID FASHION HOUSE!!! DO YOU SEE THAT SHEESH MAHAL THEIR!!! THAT ONE, WELL THTS WHERE THE RAIZADAS STAY!!! IF I TELL ASR, OR ANY OF THE RAIZADAS THAT YOU ARE TRASHING THIS PLACE YOU WILL PAY!! ASR IS MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LENGTH HE CAN GO TO IF YOU MESS WITH HIS FRIENDS!! I yelled. I don't know what had compelled me to lie. But anything for my parents.
I felt the guy smirk and cross his arms.
"Yeah you are right, I don't know what length ASR can go to if I mess with his friends. But do YOU know what length he could go to if you mess with HIM!!!" He said as he held my shoulders.
I stared at him.His arms around me felt so right. As if he was created to hold me. My other half. I shook my head at my thoughts as I tried to get away from him.
"YO..." But before I could finish he silenced me.
"Sshh"He swirled me and I saw people gathered around. the spotlight was on us. People stared at us.
"Think before you say something" he whispered into my ears.
As the clock struck 12, the fireworks exploded, the street lights for the new years celebration turned on. I turned around as he stepped into the light, shocking everyone standing near the lake. I knew that I was fighting with someone an threatening him using ASR's name, but what I didn't know was that I was threatening ASR himself.
I pulled away from his hold. But he continued to stare at me, making me self conscious. Payal hurried towards me. Our faces reflected each others. I soon realized why she had my face expression as well, the other male the one who had offered me a hand kerchief had also stepped into the light. He was none other than the laad governors brother cousin Akash.
We both ran off, away from the lake, from the people, from the spot light, from the attention, from the jealous girls and their mothers, and from the rising tension.
I felt his eyes on my back, I turned for a last look, and all I saw was anger.
~..Present..~He entered the room, I knew he had been running, all the Raizada's followed him. They knew his obssession for me, and were expecting this reaction from him. He looked mad, but behind his anger was love and care, I could see that but as usual I ignored it. I hated him. And that was the fact. He ran to me, and pulled me in his embrace. I didn't hug him back as usual, he pulled me away.
"I told you to take care of yourself mishti,and this is what I get after I return, you on the bed with a bandage covering half your forehead." He said in concern
"I am fine!" I said rudely. He didn't care, he was used to me behaving this way after all this is what he deserved, but he didnt care, because the thing I hated the most, he loved the most. He loved his decision, which made me hate him. For him that was the best decision he took in his Life.
I shook away from his arms that were still on my shoulders, he sighed and quietly pulled his arms back. He looked around and found the food I hadn't touched.
{Arnav}
She hadn't eaten and that was the only thing running through his mind. He suddenly got scared, what if she falls sick, what if she becomes weak from not eating? What if something happens to her. He shivered from the scary thought running through his mind and quickly grabbed the bowl of soup and took the spoon and made her eat.
{Khushi}
I would have never taken it, if it was someone else but I was scared of him, I didn't want to upset him for which he would get mad, I quietly ate and laid down without his help.
He sighed again and looked at everyone. Everyone left from the room and he sat beside me on the bed all night for me. I felt him but I didnt care. I felt him pulling me in his arms as he rested his head on the headboard. He managed my head on his chest and his arms around me. I slept after trying so hard, because I knew he might get sick if he stayed up like that all night and I knew he would, but I had to convince myself that I didn't care and besides he deserved it for wht he had done.
