On the night of 24th july in a lavish banquet hall stood a furious Arnav Singh Raizada. It was the day when he was to get engaged to Lavanya Kashyap. They had known eachother since college and were comfortable in each other's company, they did not love each other and were truthfull about it. The media had picked up the news of them seeing eachother and had several articles in all media forms. Arnav had tried to explain to his Di and nani that it was just gossip and had no truth in it. The articles just would not stop and they had fabricated a story that arnav and lavanya were living together for several months now, this got Anjali and Nani very upset. They gave arnav an ultimatum to announce his engagement with lavanya as quickly as possible. Arnav had spoken to lavanya and they reached an agreement that they will pretend to get engaged for a few months and then will go their separate ways citing irreconcilable differences. Arnav was dressed in a black suit and was wating for lavanya to announce their engagement when instead of lavanya, he got a message from her stating that she had found someone and did not feel right in going through this sham. He was livid and without a care in world for the numerous journalists went out of the banquet hall, he called his driver and went to lavanya's place.
At lavnaya's place
A saree clad Khushi was waiting for lavanya and her best friend Nand Kishore to pack up their belongings and leave. Khushi and Nand Kishore had been childhood friends, so when Nk's parents asked for Khushi's hand in marriage from her buaji everyone was thrilled except for the intented bride and groom. Khushi wanted to get married only when she was in love with someone and Nk was her best buddy nothing more. NK on the other hand had met lavnaya at an fashion event and both had hit it off instantly. By the time Nk realised he was in love with lavanya, his family had planned his engagement he had no choice but to get khushi in his confidence and elope with lavanya. Since lavnaya was already in the news with her alleged link up with ASR he was afraid his family would never agree to his enagement with lavanya .
NK: i am so sorry for doing this khushi i know how terrible it would be for both the families and for you, people will speak ill about you for sometime too.
Lavanya: Khushi you have been such a good friend to both of us, i wish we had another way to make this work. Oh God ASR will never forgive me too.
Khushi: Come on you two i understand the situation and am sure ASR will too once he gets to know the whole story. Both of you should right now concentrate on each other and enjoy your time together. Do not worry about anything i am sure with time things will work out in your favour.
Khushi hugged them both and bid then farewell. As soon as their car left the building another one came to a screeching halt and Khushi saw a man with a grim face in a black suit step out of a SUV. Without glancing in her direction Arnav started to ring the doorbell.
Khushi: Whom are you looking for/
Arnav: I would like to meet Lavanya, my name is Arnav singh Raizada.
Khushi stared at him for a couple of minutes trying to form words to tell him when he asked impatiently.
Arnav: Who are you and what are you doing here?
Khushi: I am a friend of Nand Kishore, Lavnaya and he just left a few moments back.
Arvav was fuming
Arnav: Oh i see you are the one responsible for ruining my engagement is it?
Khushi: I know what you must be feeling. I can sympathise with you but they are in love with eachother, it was good that they realised it before things went any further.
Arnav: You can never understand the feeling of being betrayed, who the hell do you think you are to give me a lecture on what is good for me. You know nothing about my circumstances to say that you sympathise with me.
Khushi: Mr ASR for your kind information i too was to get engaged today to NK, but Lavanya and Nk told me that they loved each other, i understood their predicament and helped them out. I too have to go and face the society just like you so please calm down and think rationally for some time.
Upon hearing this Arnav's mind started forming another plan to save face in front of media and to appease Di and nani.
Arnav: I see so you are also in the same boat as me. If you are interested i have a proposition for you which can benefit both of us.
Khushi: What are you talking about.
Arnav stared at her and for the first time took in her appearance. She was stunning to say the least. She had beautiful long black hair, almond shaped eyes that could reach into the depth of ones soul at the same time reflect all her inner emotions and turmoil. Her skin was flawless and radiant. She was of average height and had curves in all the right places. To sum it up she was breathtaking. This made Arnav even more pleased with the offer he was going to make to her.
Khushi was squirming under ASR's scrutiny. His eyes were taking in her appearance from head to toe, which made her feel exposed and vulnerable to this man. He was aristocratically handsome , his eyes devoured her and the way he looked at her it seemed he could read her soul all in one glance.
