It's Complicated;Family Tree on page 100 - Page 7

Loved it.Can I have a moment of self-indulgence? I told you so moment ... Lekin mera kaun
sunta hai ...? Bus gaye dadi ko gaali dene ... This is probably one of the defining moments in the life of ArnavSingh Raizada and for Barun as an actor... It was a homerun, he simply rocked ...
Dadi brought the deepest emotions out of him ... .Love and respect for his wife ... . Today he saw and felt what his wife was suffering all these months & stood up to the forces against her... Today he was a true husband, a true protector... It was a true clash of titans...What ASR neededwas someone to challenge him...Nani always did it but she did not demand respect; she got it pyaar se, haq se. But dadi demanded respect zabardasti se, rishte se aur umar se...Big difference...When someone hurts a dear one ASR rises...
Nani was another one who had a fabulous day, she was exceptional. First the gentle soul, then a friend who had tough questions and a grandmother who was proud of her grandson ... .She raised him well ... T oday we saw nani's grandson, a Malik by birth but a Raizada at heart ... The one who challenged Dadi's ill-treatment of his wife, her no show in their lives ... He was a true protector today of Khushi and nani's belief system ... Nani had the right questions for dadi & he had the right answers for dadi's questions ... .
One look at dadi, the past haunted him ... that fateful night when their world came crashing...His sisters dreams shattered... and a family ruined...
Dadi abandoned them never to be seen. She was back and the love and respect for dadi ha d n't changed... He was still the boy she had met 14 yearsago... He forgot all about the past & was in her arms like they had never missed a beat... He had tried very hardto keep her in their lives and he was willing to forgive her for her absence and just enjoy in the moment with his sis looking on...There was the hunger, to be loved and accepted by his grandmother... But Dadi does the unthinkable, she doesn't accept his love, his marriage...If only dadi knew how much it meant to him...
Beautiful reunion, but not quite...
Khushi quietly walks in after being rejected by his grandmother ... ..He silently heard her blaming herself, like all the other times, he was stoic ... .Not a word or an expression on his face ... .Little did she know he had a soul searching moment ... .A man whothought he was always right now was questioning his own decisions ... .
A soul searching moment ... ..
A shattered girl quietly walks and contemplates over the happenings, tears flowing ... .Yet again, she is being tested for no fault of hers ... . Maybe she didn't say or do the right things, maybe she just didn't like her or maybe it is the wedding ... .Like all other times, she would be blamed again ... .. Still fresh from the accusations not so long ago ... .Her husband blamed her for all the wrongs in his sisters life ... .Maybe, just maybe this is her fault too ... ..
Tumari ko yi galthi nahi thi, meine tumhe majboor kiya shaadi ke liye...
One quiet look at her and he realizes she is down that slippery slope again... He quietly looks at her holding on to her chin with all the love ... .He sits by her & looks her straight in the eye, almost asking her for forgiveness ... ..He assures her, it's his dadi. Yes, a Malik trait again ... ..
She couldn't believe what she just heard, there was a look of surprise, joy ... .A sense of gratefulness, finally he accepted she was innocent ... Nothing else mattered ... .She was once again the fierce protective wife ... .Always giving, always caring ... .sheforgot that she was hurting, instead she rushes to his aid ... ..What is that he was hiding from her? She wants toshare his grief, his anger; his disappointment ... .She is there for him ... .Once again he shuts her out ... .
Kabhi kabhi humein lagtha hai ki hum aapke bohat kareeb hai, aur kabhi aisa lagtha hai hum bilkul ajnabi hai... Th e girl will not rest untilshe gets to the bottom of it ... .She will now be his friend, his wife and his soul mate ...
Clash of friends...
Nani was gentle, ever so loving but one little allegation from her friend she jumps to Chote's defense. She was the fierce tigress guarding her cubs. Where was she all this time? Why did choose to distance herself? They were her grand kids too , her family ... .Why was she here now?
Clash of titans...
Arnav Singh Raizada never hesitates to confront any situation head on ... . He never shied away from his responsibility ... . T onight he was no different ... .He wasn't going to let nani fight his battle ... . He was the one who chose to marry secretly ... .A dadi who was missing for most of hisadulthood was now questioning his judgment and comparing him to his dad ... .He has never liked it when people associated him with his father& dadi touched that raw nerve ... .
Dadi, shaayad apne teek se suna nahin,iss ghar mein unke baare mein
baat karna mujhe p asand nahi hai...
Khushi walks in assuming all will be fine if she just apologizes ... .So much innocence...The yearning to be loved and respected drives her ... .Dadi stops her at the door ... .Arnav Singh Raizada this time stands by his wife ... .
Jahan meri patni ke liye jagah nahi hai, mujhe nahi lagtha waha meri koyi zaroorat hai ... A proud nani looking on ...
The bakri had walked into the den alright, but the sher was her protector ... .He had never made any vows on that night they married but today he stayed true to those vows ... .Khushi's emotions were beautiful ... .She knew she had found her soul mate, a man who would love, respect& cherish her ... .She looks at him withgreat love, her unconditional love finally won ...
Today she found love ... she found trust...she foun d remorse ...she foun d respect in her husband's eyes ... . A wife who truly loves her husband, will she want anything more?
Do they really a need to say their vows to stay true to each other? He proved marriage is more than just social acceptance... . A defining moment for Arnav Singh Raizada...Marriage is truly a union of souls..Thank you soo much for your comments and likes. i have read each and every comment. luv u all

"Stop it yaar, now you both are acting as if I am a joker. Please, don't move from here. Don't talkto anyone. I will go and arrange for the taxi."
NK asked them to wait and wentto get the taxi but poor soul hadno idea that they would never listen to him.
It was getting impossible for Khushi to wait until she could ask Pooja about this newly found information.
"Why it feels so good when someone kisses you?" She asked innocently, knotting her dupata and Pooja felt like ground is slipping under her feet.
"What? How do you know? Did.. I mean did someone kiss you?" Pooja asked flabbergasted and then Beejee's face zoomed in front of her eyes and she prayed that nothing of that sort would have happened with Khushi.
Khushi glanced at her in confusion. It was clearly evident from Pooja's reaction that kissing someone was really unscrupulous and immoral. She had a feeling that Pooja wouldn't be able to understand her.
"No!" She said, shaking her head in fear.
"But is it bad to kiss someone? I know it's immoral but what if you also want to be kissed in return? I mean, I don't know how to put in words." She tried to explain her.
Pooja didn't know how to answer. But one thing was sure that if beeje came to know that she has told Khushi something out of the way, she would sure kill her.
Somewhere, even Pooja was scared now. Maybe they had made a grave mistake by sneaking out. But atleast she had one relief that even if they would get caught here, she won't be solely blamed. But if beeje get to know about all this,then she will surely know it's none other than Pooja so she tried her best, not to divulge into the details and corrupt her innocent mind.
"Hmm, yeah it's bad to kiss someone." Pooja said.
"Did you see that scene in the movie, where they kissed each other?" Khushi probed further.
"Yeah, yeah, I know but look, they both were on love with each other, in that movie. But please never even think like that.Just keep one thing in mind, never kiss a guy." Pooja paused and then continued
"You know, these guys can easilymake a fool out of you. They kissyou and do whatever they want and then they leave you, when you get pregnant."
Khushi looked at her with horrified expressions, hovering over her face.
"What? You become pregnant if you kiss? Pooja, do you think I am a fool? You are mistaken. You don't get pregnant by merely kissing someone."
She didn't know much but at least she knew that a girl can't get pregnant just by kissing.
"Yeah, you don't get pregnant by kissing someone. For that youhave to.. I mean.." Pooja clarified.
Kahan phas gayi mai. Pooja thought and continued.
"For that you have to." she didn't know how to put it in words and then again Beeje's face appeared in her mind and she decided to keep her mouth shut.
"Yeah, I know, for that you have to sleep with someone." Khushi casually completed her sentence.
"Yeah, right," Pooja confirmed Khushi's analysis happily, although she knew that Khushi meant sleeping in the most plutonic sense. All khushi knew was a boy and girl had to sleep together and she took that termtoo literal.
"You wait here. I will look for NK." Pooja decided to run away from this dangerous situation.
"No yaar, NK has specifically asked us to stay here." Khushi tried to stop her.
"I will be back in a minute." But Pooja dashed from there to look for NK.

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se
Hey stranger, you're calling out from somewhere too.
Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se
Hey stranger, you're calling out from somewhere too.

Arnav just walked out of the house in frustration, totally unaware where he was actually heading.
That girl was driving him insane.Her innocent face, her deep eyes,and her luscious lips, everything was tormenting him. He desperately wanted to forget her.
But those eyes were chasing him. One small part within him wanted to see that stranger once again or wanted to hear her once.
But another dominant part wanted to erase even the slightest trace of her memory, off his mind. He didn't know who she was and where she was right now.
Yes, she was a stranger but yet she seemed to be so familiar.
Roz roz resham si hawa aate jaate kehti hai bataEach day, as it comes and goes, the silken wind says, "Tell me!"
Resham si hawa kehti hai bata
The silken wind says, "Tell me!"
Vo jo doodh dhuli masoom kali
The one who is like a pale, innocent flowerbud --
Vo hai kahan kahan hai
that girl, where, where is she?
Vo roshni kahan hai vo jaansi kahan hai
Where is her light? The one who is my very life - where is she?
Main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahein hain
I am incomplete, and you're onlyhalf-alive.
It was dark and it seemed that sky would pour at any moment. Cold breeze blew again, reminding him of that innocent angel.
**********
Khushi was standing there whensomeone jerked her towards him.
" Wow rani.. Waiting for someone? How much would youcharge?" She tried to free her hand but failed. He was totally out of his senses as he was drunk.
"Leave me, you idiot." She again tried to free her hand.
"NK!" She screamed.
The person loosened his grip, to see if anyone was with her. She took advantage of the loose gripand pushed him with full force and ran from there.
Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se
Hey stranger, you're calling out from somewhere too.

Hey stranger, you're calling out from somewhere too.

Tu to nahin hai lekin teri muskurahatein hain
You're not here, but your smile is.
Chehra nahin hai par teri aahatein hain
Your face is nowhere to be found, but the sound of your footsteps are.
She glanced back to ensure if he was following her, when she bumped into a rock hard chest. She closed her eyes and the warmth and the smell seemed to be so familiar.
It was the same masculine smell, which was drugging her again. It was him. She could tell even when her eyes were closed.
Thunder bolted on the sky and rain started pouring heavily. She hugged him tightly.
She could tell the difference. Thisvery person forcefully kissed her yesterday but even then it felt sosecure to be near him. Whereas the person who had held her hand. His touch was so disgusting and repulsive for her.
But here, she wanted to hide herself in him. The feeling that he was passing through that simple hug was indescribable.
Khushi hugged him as tightly as possible. She inhaled deeply in his chest to get feel of his scent once more.
All Arnav knew was that he was walking on that road, when someone bumped into him. He couldn't see the face but he knew it was her. It was his angel, same angel whom he hadkissed yesterday.
Her warmth, her scent, her softness, he was unable to take anything out of his mind since yesterday. He could still feel her lips and the moment she hugged him, ripples of pleasure, coursed through his body.
Gush of heavy wind blew, bringing more rain with it. They both stood there in the rain, while she was hugging him.
Tu hai kahan kahan hai
Where are you, where?
Tera nishaan kahan hai
Where is there a sign of you,
Mera jahan kahan hai
Where is there a sign of you,
Main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahein hain
I'm incomplete, and you're only half-alive.
Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se
Hey stranger, you're calling out from somewhere too.

He never wanted her, to cross his path again. But then why was this happening? She was again their on his way unwantedly and unexpectedly.
No, I don't want this. I can control so many people easily, then why can't I control this damn feeling within me? why?
Arnav Singh Raizada can be anything, but he can't be weak. Idon't care about anyone, ANYONE, and who this girl is? I don't even know her. He graspedher shoulder and pushed her back to maintain the distance between them.
Her eyes, there was so much worry and panic in those eyes. These eyes didn't deserve this panic or worry. No, it's not for these eyes. He thought but cursed himself again for thinking like that.
"That," She said, pointing at the empty space. "He is after me."
He gazed into her eyes again. The panic and worry had been replaced by hope. She knew thathe would save her. She trusted him.
That trust pierced him. He could not afford to have that trust. Not at all..
"Go to hell!" he barked.
She looked at him flabbergasted.
"How the hell you can assume that I would care who is after you? It's none of my business. I am not your body guard, understand?"
Her eyes welled up at his rude words.
"Nobody talks to me so rudely." She complained.
"I am not nobody' , I am Arnav Singh Raizada and ASR does what he wants.
If you are not used to this way, then it's not my problem."
She was a born princess. All her life, she had seen people, following her orders and here a stranger was insulting her, with his rude words. It was unacceptable.
"Shut up! Shut up! How dare you talk to me like that?"
She raised his hand to hit him onhis chest but he grabbed her hands.
"Don't ever shout at me." He warned her.
"It doesn't make any difference to you, that someone is chasing me? haan?" She asked him.
Even she didn't know what she was doing, she trusted a stranger and was expecting thathe would take care of her, he would save her.
Her innocent eyes were filled with so many expressions. He wanted to hug her and tell her that everything would be alright. He wanted to tell her, that he was there with her, but he couldn't.
These conflicting emotions weredriving him insane. He was seething in anger. He increased the pressure on her wrists.
"Leave my hands. How dare you hurt me?"
"Just keep quit." He shouted, without leaving her wrists.
"Oh, just shut up" She yelled in pain because the pressure of his hands on her wrist was hurting her.
"I said, DON'T ever SHOUT AT ME." He repeated again.
"What will you do? I will shout, it's my will. Why would I listen to a person who doesn't even care about me?" Her words annoyed him and he couldn't let her speak further.
He left her hands and held her waist, bringing her closer to himself. She looked at him. It seemed that he wanted to repeat the last night again.
"Don't shout," He warned her.
"Or else?" She asked him innocently, yet in a low tone that seemed seducing to his ears.
"Else," He said, gazing at her lushlips. He again felt his throat tightening in desire and withoutthe second thought. He again slammed his lips on her.
She was again drowning in him. His hands were roaming on her back, bringing her closer while he was angrily kissing her. She was unable to respond. She didn't know how to kiss him back. She just let him do, what he wanted.
He kissed her harshly first but then started kissing her slowly. His one hand supported her nape, to adjust her properly so that he could deepen the kiss.
He wanted her to respond. He wanted to experience that feeling so badly. When she didn't respond, he nibbled her lip in frustration, making it bleed.
"Khushi, Khushi,". She got awareof her surroundings, when NK's voice hit her ear.
He was kissing her fervently. He was way too lost right now. The temptation was so strong that he was violently pressing her waist with his body, nearly digging his nail into her slender waist.
She pushed him and this single push was enough to make him realize what he was doing. He left her abruptly.
" Khushi!" Now the voice seemedto be coming from near.
He brushed his hands in his hair and turned around, to vanish again into the darkness, leaving her alone with this new temptation.
yeh mujhe kya ho raha hain
mera apne aap pe kabo kho raha
ek hi baar use mil ke
dobara milne ki tamanna hain
mera dil mujh se hi
bewafa ho raha hain
mein kya karoo is dil ka
jo baar us ko soch raha hain
kitne maine wada kiye
apne dil ko band rakhne ke
par use ek baar dekh kar
mera dil ko woh sab bhool gaye
uski masoomiyat ne
mere dil ko aise dharkaya
ke mein sab kuch bhool kar
us ke phir kareeb hua

CHAPTER SEVEN (PRECAP)

She went to the past again,

These incidents occurred after Arnav returned India to attend Anjali and Shyam's engagement'

Anjali took Khushi for her engagement shopping and after their shopping they found the car's tyre got punctured. Anjali called Arnav to get her a lift. Though he didn't want to come knowing Khushi would be there but he can't let the opportunity go.

Anjali kept all the bags and other stuff and asked Khushi to do so.

Arnav saw Khushi around a fortnight after his return to India and that bubbly, cheerful Khushi was no where. The glow that was there when they last met outside Singhania Palace had now vanished. He felt bad because he knew he was the sole reason for Khushi's unhappiness. But what could he do??

Anjali knew that Arnav would be in a thought after seeing Khushi so remorseful.

Anjali told Arnav to take for lunch as she and Khushi had breakfast early morning and after hours of shopping they are fatigued.

Anjali ordered for herself and then asked for them.

Arnav and Khushi: anything Di.

They looked at each other and kept quiet.

Anjali: but why?? None of you had breakfast properly.

Arnav and Khushi: I am not hungry.

Anjali: interesting. Both are feeling same for food. But, what about the other things??

Great update

Thanks for the PM. Nice updates.

CHAPTER SEVEN:
SHATTERED REALITY

He felt khushi's hand moving. She came back to her senses. She saw him near her. She retreated and asked him to leave immediately.

Arnav: Khushi??

Khushi: leave now' I don't want to talk to you.

Arnav: I will leave now. But remember, you are coming back to me within seven days.

Khushi: never. I won't come back to you. Leave seven days. I will not come back to you for these seven lives.

Arnav: if you don't come Khushi. I promise to take you.

Khushi: don't forget that I am married to someone else. I am no more your wife that you can force me.

Arnav: you were,you are and you will be my wife only. You are my Khushi. If someone else tries to take you away from me,he will pay the price.

Khushi: you can't do anything Arnav. You can do nothing.

Arnav: you are wrong and I warn you, if I can't do anything in straight path'I won't step back. I will do anything to get you by any means.

Khushi: don't you dare to harm others.

Arnav: if he needs to get harmed he will be'I will write his fate if he still continue messing with me.

Khushi: get lost'get out now'

Arnav leaves. He had decided. He won't get Khushi legally. He has to take some other way. No way is wrong to get your love.

ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR.

He was driving and remembered the good old days'..

### SHATTERED FLASHBACKS ######

[After his accident'

Khushi had severed all ties with Akash.

She had gone to Akash's office and had thrown the deals over Akash's face thinking he is the reason for Arnav's accident.]

[When she came to know she was pregnant'..

Akash tried to make her understand and abort the baby; she slapped him in front of everyone]

[After the Nainital trip'

When Anjali confronted Arnav of deflowering Khushi'she blatantly said he was incited by her and she wanted him though he had refused and Anjali must not interfere between them now when everything is fine and being a girl she doesn't have any problems]

[When Akash forced her to get married to Armaan,

She slashed her wrist for Arnav]

Khushi had always been over reacting over anything regarding Arnav.

Meanwhile in the hotel,

Anjali was waiting for Arnav to return and tried to work on some new plans. Whatever she was thinking had been carried out earlier.

Anjali to herself: I can recollect all those plans and make a master plan out of it. This time it is a total role reversal. What was the first step?

She opened her diary.

"got it"

PLAN 1- HUM TUM

She went to the past again,

These incidents occurred after Arnav returned India to attend Anjali and Shyam's engagement'

Anjali took Khushi for her engagement shopping and after their shopping they found the car's tyre got punctured. Anjali called Arnav to get her a lift. Though he didn't want to come knowing Khushi would be there but he can't let the opportunity go.

Anjali kept all the bags and other stuff and asked Khushi to do so.

Arnav saw Khushi around a fortnight after his return to India and that bubbly, cheerful Khushi was no where. The glow that was there when they last met outside Singhania Palace had now vanished. He felt bad because he knew he was the sole reason for Khushi's unhappiness. But what could he do??

Anjali knew that Arnav would be in a thought after seeing Khushi so remorseful.

Anjali told Arnav to take for lunch as she and Khushi had breakfast early morning and after hours of shopping they are fatigued.

Anjali ordered for herself and then asked for them.

Arnav and Khushi: anything Di.

They looked at each other and kept quiet.

Anjali: but why?? None of you had breakfast properly.

Arnav and Khushi: I am not hungry.

Anjali: interesting. Both are feeling same for food. But, what about the other things??

Arnav finally ordered for himself

Khushi was still nagging. Anjali ordered for her and was trying to make her understand. Arnav got irritated and scolded Khushi.

Arnav: Khushi, stop being a spoilt brat. Show your anger or frustration on the person not on the food. Have you seen yourself in the mirror?? Stop fussing and eat properly. I don't want you to look or fall sick on Di's engagement.

That was enough for Khushi. At least he cared for her. She had a smile.

Arnav was baffled. He understood. His little actions and words make her smile.

She looks better.

Anjali went outside for a phone call and hid herself from a distance to see what these two will do. Arnav and Khushi were sitting all alone.

Both of them were trying to talk but their egos were not letting them.

Khushi moved her dupatta and it got stuck in Arnav's watch. She was trying but couldn't untie it. Arnav helped her and their fingers entwined with each other and they looked at each others faces. Both were deeply immersed in each others eyes. Anjali waited for 10 minutes. But they were in that position only and she came back.

Anjali finally saw Khushi cheerful again. Things were working. She is now dying to meet him again.

She also noticed her Chotte relieved from the inner turmoil.

PLAN 2- jealousy is the proof of love

Anjali (on phone): ya Khushi, Lotus caf. He is a nice guy. Don't worry. I can't go. But some one else can. I would call you back. Wait.

Arnav can you drop NK at Lotus caf? He wants to meet Khushi.

Arnav was already fuming and he was asked to drop NK for a date and that too with his Khushi.

Arnav: No way. I am busy.

Anjali: please. Else I will think you are jealous.

Arnav: jealous and me? No. not at all.

Anjali: but be careful Lavanya doesn't get to know. You know she is a bit possessive about NK.

Arnav: ya Di I will take care of that.

Arnav smirked and left.

Anjali knew he will call Lavanya to come at the caf.

Arnav and NK went out.

Lavanya called her,

Anjali: plan worked?

Lavanya: smoothly. He had asked me to come at Lotus' at 6.00 p.m.

Anjali: table no.?

Lavanya: 4

Anjali: ok, bye.

The plan worked. But not the way they planned. Arnav was too jealous to let Khushi to sit with any other guy. Lavanya-NK spent the date and Arnav took her at shantivan.

The last plan was needed to be executed and they will be united forever.

Shyam and Anjali's engagement was done at Sheesh Mahal and everyone found that Arnav himself was avoiding Khushi so her family allowed her to go to Mumbai and stay at Shyam's place like early days and continue her studies.

Anjali pestered Arnav and they came to Mumbai.

Shyam's colleagues and friends couldn't go Lucknow for his engagement.

That was just a party post-engagement celebration and the dress code was red for women and black for men. Only couples were allowed.

Anjali emotionally blackmailed Arnav and made him agree to take Khushi as his partner, just for the party. That evening changed many things in Khushi's life and she got Arnav.

PLAN 3- paper dance

There were many games for couples. At first both Arnav and Khushi were pretending to be normal'later they got normal while playing those games.

Then there was a paper dance. Both of them denied playing that. But again at Anjali's request they did the honour.

The first round was easy. They maintained the distance and danced.

The second round was bit tough. The paper was half of its initial size and they have to be quite close to stay on the paper. Though both of them didn't want to be so close but they danced as if they had a challenge within them and still their egos were working.

Last round,

Khushi's body was touching Arnav's and both of their ego, anger, tension, irritation, fury, hatred, disbelief and everything melted away and burned away in ashes. From the ashes rose a true love, complete trust, faith for each other.

Anjali's job was done.

After that their love story moved as a bullet train. Within 6 months they got married and so many things']

( I couldn't mention any song as none of them suggested any song that i asked you all in pm...😭 )

Knock'knock'.

Anjali got up from bed and opened the door.

Anjali: Chotte??

Arnav entered her room and took the weight off his feet. He was completely shattered. Though he had warned Khushi that he would take her back he knew if he takes her back he would take only a living body and a dead soul. His only ray of hope was Anjali now. Anjali could understand her brother's condition. She had seen him broken down like this when their mother had died. He had been bearing this enduring pain regarding Khushi for the last four years. Today he has become a shattered soul. She knew Arnav's strength was Khushi and his weakness was Khushi herself. She could feel today Khushi's state made him weak. Khushi had moved far away from him. He was lost, completely lost. Was there no way of reviving the old Arnav? Only Khushi can. The more Arnav was breaking the colder and tougher was ASR becoming. She was completely sure now'.Khushi will now no more meet Arnav'Arnav was dying. Khushi had been the murderer. Khushi will meet the ASR. And this time ASR will be very, very hard to mould into Arnav again.

Location- SEN MANSION

Khushi herself was crying on the other side'

She was still trying to nurse her pain.

She could hear Armaan talking with amanAman in the next room. She heard Arnav's name and tried to listen what they were speaking. She couldn't hear everything and heard tit-bits of their conversation. She even can't make out who was telling what. Since the topic was related with Arnav she can't hold back.

''.no Aman'.this is not the right way

'.shut up'.do as I say'..

Why?

'..that Arnav Singh Raizada'

...leave you'

'he knows everything'

...in danger'..as well'

..me'..no'

'Armaan'

..you'

'..regret.

'already'

'..let it be'

'.Khushi had gone'

'.meet'

'.What?

''Are you sure'

'..but'.forbade'

'Yes. She can't''..

'betrayal..

'.kill us'

'.but'.

'''all has to be reworked again''..

'''Shyam wants to meet''.

''.he is here'..

..Arnav doesn't know??...

...That is a lie''.

''you are '

'.wrong again'.

'meeting'.

..Where??...

'''no'..

'..same hotel...

'.risky'

'..i warn you'''.this time..

..game over'..

'whatever happens let it happen''

'..full of guilt'''

..women, property''.

'never'true love'.

'.just want peace''..

They saw a shadow near their door and they stopped talking.

The shadow moved away.

Armaan and Aman got alerted. They had come to know that Khushi had met Arnav though Aman tried to keep both of them away. Both of them were worried as they would be revealed if Arnav Khushi conversation ever happened. They were wondering what could have happened. Arnav would kill them if ever knew that Khushi was tricked to marry Armaan. But Aman was sure that Khushi came back here'so she still didn't know about Armaan much and they need to work immediately. As soon as possible. Meanwhile Armaan informs that Shyam wants to meet him and Arnav doesn't know that Shyam has been following. Aman doubted whether it was their plan. But Armaan realised their game is over and he is full of guilt and he wants to end this game. He doesn't want anymore. He is tired of women, property and everything. He understood true love. He wants peace.

But Khushi interpreted something else. She presumed'

They had come to know about the meeting of Arnav and Khushi. Arnav will try to harm them to gain Khushi. He has never forgiven anyone, not even his father. He will not spare them. Khushi herself was the reason of their problems. He will kill them. He is vindictive. Khushi though came back here Arnav will come and take her away by forcing her. And everything would be upside down and everything has to be reworked afresh and again. Shyam has come here in London. Most probably with Arnav. But they are misguided. They are confused as Arnav met her and Shyam wants to meet them separately. May be it is a plan for business deal. May be Shyam is used by Arnav to gain Khushi. Arnav doesn't love her. Whoever thinks or believes is wrong. He came here for business deal. This time Arnav will try to get her anyhow. Last time he tried to get her forcefully. This time everything will be over. Arnav has planned another game. Last time he married her by playing with her feelings. This time something more dangerous has been planned. Whatever happens they doesn't want Khushi to be in any more trouble for Arnav. Though it will be risky they will meet and try to protect her from Arnav who understands only women and property. Arnav never loved her truly. And they know that Khushi wants peace now and they will help.

Khushi was now trying to know the location where they would meet. May be she can deduce what was happening and Arnav's plans.

Next morning,

FASHION FLORA office,

Khushi was working on her laptop. She was waiting for the call where she would meet the model. But Aman called her and she asked Armaan to attend the call and note the place. Aman gave some important papers to sign. It was a legal document of getting her shares from the Singhania group and Raizada group as she is a member of their family and was Arnav's ex-wife.

At first she had retaliated as she was not at all related with them anymore. But Armaan made her understand it was a part of the plan of destroying Arnav by misusing those shares and her position.

She came back in the cabin. She found Armaan in tension. He told her that he is guilty and want to let her know something and handed her few documents and a bunch of keys and asked her not to let anyone know about it and keep it safe. She would need it later. Khushi was going to ask but a call came and she went to attend the call. He stormed out of the room.

She suddenly noticed two addresses written in a paper by Armaan. She couldn't understand why there were two places. Had the model given two venues and had asked to select or something. She was confused. She called the model. She came to know that the meeting is tomorrow and took the address again. She got one of the two addresses. But what was the other venue for?

She went inside Armaan's cabin. It was empty. She found at the reception that both Aman and Armaan had left.

She understood immediately. She quickly grabbed her keys and rode to the site. She was deadly sure that Armaan has gone to meet Shyam.

But she was quite late'the conversation had started long ago. She saw Shyam after four long years. Her cousin was like her father figure and guided her all the way through in all her ups and downs. Why is he here now? For Arnav? May be Arnav has forced him for anju di' he can do anything. They were having a heated argument.

Armaan: no I am not talking about leaving her. I have misused Khushi earlier and I regret and I want her as my wife now. I will never give her to Arnav.

Shyam: no'you can't do this'you will regret.

Armaan: I will not leave Khushi till my last breath.

Shyam: so better to breathe your last.

Armaan: I will give all documents and won't claim anything over Raizada-Singhania. But I can't leave Khushi.

Shyam: this is my final warning to you. Surrender yourself and forget her.

Armaan: I want to reveal myself, but this way? Impossible. I can't do this. I can't lose Khushi.

Shyam: better do this or risk losing yourself, leave Khushi. Arnav can go to extreme ends for Khushi. No one knows better than you.

Armaan: but Shyam you are blinded by Arnav. Trust me. I realised everything now and want to change myself. I don't want her anymore for any more business purpose.

Shyam: you are giving two choices. But I am giving you a chance. Take shares according to this deal and free Khushi.

Armaan: this is tough to decide.

Shyam: don't worry. You will be given 15 days to decide the amount and shares. Here is the blank cheque and the papers.

Armaan took them in his hand.

Armaan: I have decided.

Shyam: good. So??

Armaan: I am not leaving Khushi. Tell Arnav to do anything.

Shyam: you are getting what you toiled for four years and now you are retreating?

Armaan: yes'tell Arnav let him rise and be successful.

Shyam: what will you get Armaan? Neither Khushi nor money with your decision. Because Khushi will be back in India very soon.

Armaan: better to die for Khushi than living without her. Tell Arnav, he will realise.

He threw the deal papers and blank cheque over Shyam's face and left.

Khushi felt someone was present there other than her who was watching them.

Who was it?

Few hours later,

She was in her office. Attending the meeting. Aman came running and broke the news.

Unbelievable'.

Armaan had met an accident. The car fell from the cliff into deep bushes. while rescuing Armaan's car had exploded and the rescuers along with Armaan was declared dead there.

It was impossible to believe.

At the burning ghat.

(remember the prologue ??)

Khushi- can a person go so low ? I never knew that this would be the result of betraying him,Aman.

Aman- I had warned you earlier Khushi. Don't mess with Arnav & Shyam. Who asked you to tell about Armaan? Why did you do that ? Anjali is just your friend. She will believe them not you.

Khushi- but how could they kill him?? it is impossible. Mrs. Sen will never ever leave them until she die.

Aman- but no law can prove that it was a murder. Everyone will tell it was a fatal accident.

She struggled with the thought that Arnav has stooped so low. She battled within herself. Meanwhile Mrs. Sen accused her as the murderer of her son and threw out of Sen mansion. Aman being her good friend asked her to stay at his home.

He called Arnav,

Aman: hello ASR, a very important news.

Arnav: what? She hates me more?

Aman: no'Khushi was thrown out

Arnav: what?? Who dared to throw her out??

Aman: Mrs. Sen. She had accused her.

Arnav: for what??

Aman: her son's death'

Arnav: so where is she right now?? I don't want to lose her out anymore aman. Four years were too long for me.

Aman: I had asked her to stay at his apartment now. This is the high time.

Arnav: I know. Thank you aman. I was confused with your whereabouts. But you are really a true friend. Thank you for helping to rescue Khushi.

Aman: yes ASR.

He hangs up the call hearing Khushi screaming.

(chapter one reference)

Aman hears Khushi screaming "HEY DEVI MAIYYA''''..help me help me"'''' and a crashing sound. Something falls.

Aman hears the crashing noise and comes and finds Khushi unconscious. He takes her to the NIGHTINGALE HOSPITAL''''informs Arnav, Shyam, Anjali, Akash.

Well now the question is whom do you think was the real murderer of Armaan?

Arnav?

Shyam?

Akash?

Or

Aman?

And what was the actual plan??

MYSTERY WILL BE SOLVED NOW.
