Khushi was sitting on the bed, just folding some clothes, while I was looking at a file.
Okay, that part was a lie, I'll admit. The truth is I was looking at her, she was gorgeous, I'll admit.
Di stormed into the room," Chote humein tumse baat karni hai."
" Haan Di bolo?"
She looked at Khushi," Humein tumse akele mein baat karni hai."
Khushi left the room in a hurry.
Di began," Chote hum dekh rahein hain ki aaj kal tum Khushiji ke saath kuchh zyada samay bita rahe ho. Hum samajhtein hain ki voh tumhari patni hai, par isska yeh toh matlab nahi ki tum baaki sab kuchh ignore kar lo-"
" Di aisa kuchh nahi-"
" Humein apni baat puri karne do. Tum nahi jaante ki maine dawai li hai ya nahi. Nani ne khana khaya ya nahi, tum apne kaam ko bhi ignore kar rahe ho? Kitne dino se office hi nahi gaye! That's why I'm giving you a choice; Khushiji or your family. Kal tak Khushiji ko ghar se nikaalo varna tum humein di kehene ka haq hanesha ke liye kho do ge."
I froze, Di aisa kaise kehe saktin hai!," Di yeh aap kya kehe rahe ho? Main Khushi aur apni family ke beech choose kaise kar sakta hoon? I'm sorry agar aapko lagta hai ki main apni baaki ki duties ko neglect mar raha hoon, it won't happen again I promise. Just give me a chance Di, to prove that I can take care of all of you-"
Di shook her head," Nahin chote. Hum faisla le chuckein hai. Hum, ya voh."
With that she left the room.
Khushi came back in," Kya hua Arnavji? Di aise yahan se gayi..."
" Di chahtin hai ki main apni family aur tum mein choose karoon. K-Kal tak mujhein tumhein yahaan se nikaalna h-hoga varna Di mujhse baat nahin karengi. Khushi, main yeh nahi kar sakta! What kind of a choice is this? Di ko ho kya gaya hai?"
Khushi took his hand," Par hum jaante hain ki aapko kisse chunna hai. Arnavji, voh aapka parivaar hai. Aapka janam se saath diya hai unhone. Agar aap voh sab kuchh mahino pehele milli ladki ke liye bhulla denge, toh theek nahin hoga. Aap khush nasib hain ki aapko aisa khoobsurat parivaar milla hai, usse jaane mat dijiye. Hum apna samaan bandhte hai, kal subha-subha yahaan se chale jayenge.-"
" Par Khushi-" I began.
She smiled sadly," Par kuchh nahi Arnavji. Aaj humari shaadi ke che mahine pure huein hain. Humne socha tha ki shaayad hum che mahine se zyaada reh jayein..."
She started packing her clothes.
I went to Di and begged her to change her mind, but she shook her head every time," It's up to you Chote. Tumhari marzi."
A tear escaped my eye," Theek hai Di. Jis Khushi ko aap ghar ke bahar nikaalna chahti hain, voh aapke liye pack kar rahi hai. I hope you're happy. I'll drop her off in the morning."
Di smiled
I felt like my heart was tearing apart, I wanted to shout, scream, yell, but i couldn't. That would just make everything worse.
When I reached my room again Khushi had dozed off. I lay down next to her and grabbed her hand tightly as if my life depended upon it.
Khushi Point Of View
I smiled slightly as Arnavji held my hand. It pained me to realize that this was probably the last time I saw him.
He dropped me off the next day, but didn't seem to want to leave.
I smiled sadly," Alvida Arnavji. Humein ab chalna chahiye."
He left in a hurry and if he wasn't Arnav Singh Raizada, I could've sworn I saw him wipe away a few tears.

3rd Person Point Of View
Arnav was looking at Aman's presentation, but his mind and heart were elsewhere. He had tried, so hard, to forget about her, for his sake, her sake and his Di's sake. But he couldn't. No matter how much he drank, how much he ran, how much he immersed himself in his work, she was everywhere.
The receptionist entered the room," Sir, I'm sorry o interrupt but your mother-in-law is on the line; she says it's urgent."
Arnav said," I'll be out in five minutes. This meeting's just about to end. Aunty was calling him? Why? They hadn't spoken to him since he had dropped Khushi to Buaji's house without a reason...
The receptionist shook her head," Sir? It's about your wife."
Arnav ran out the door as fast as his legs could carry him," Hello? Namaste Aunty, kya hua? Sab theek toh haina? Baubuji, Buaji sab theek toh hai na? Aap kuchh bol kyun nahin rahin hain? K-k-hushi-"
Amma answered with a trembling voice," Babua tumhein inhaan aana ch-chahiye. Khushi ne apne aap ko apne kamre mein band kar liya hai aur khol nahin rahi..."
There wasn't a force in the world who could've stopped Arnav from going to Khushi, hell, he even ignored his sister's call.
