Hi there, i have read a lot of stories based on Arnav and khushi and I also have a passion for writing and thought that maybe I could come up with a little story of mine too! The concept follows closely to the serial that I loveee, iss pyaar ko kya naam doon and I've decided to do a little experiment myself with the characters. This is my very first time writing something! So to all arshi fans, hope you enjoy! :)
PS- Please excuse my Hindi, I'm not very fluent in it and also, all work has been originated by me, with no intention to directly or indirectly hurt anyone's feelings. Any comments or feedbacks you provide will be dearly appreciated! :)
--- Chapter 1 --- The Silence
/FLASHBACK/
* Shantivan, Arnav Singh Raizada's bedroom - poolside*
She shivered when the breeze from the poolside area grazed her bare skin. The gentle blow of the cool wind made her long hair flow with it. Wearing a red colored Salazar khameez, a thin dupatta round her neck and complimenting accessories, she sighed and hugged herself. She looked at the sky, staring into the night. The sky was dark, cleared of any traces of stars as clouds covered the vast expanse of the never ending sky space.
" Amma, bauji, kya aap bhi humse naraz hai? Itne naraz, ke aap aaj badel ke gheraiyo mein chupna chahte hai? Kya aap humare teref dekhna bhi nahi chahte? " whispered khushi while gazing at the sky.
[ " Mom, Dad, are you angry at me too? So angry, that today you want to hide yourselves behind the depths of the clouds? Can't you even bear to look at me? " ]
She often did that, she talked to the stars that shone in the night. She was an orphan, her parents died in a car crash when she was only eight years old and since then believed that her parents had become stars, stars that were forever present in the sky, looking down and over her. She lived with her cousin's family whom she treated as her own. She treated Payal as though she were her real elder sister and called her JIJI. Payal's parents were addressed as Amma and Bauji and she called Bauji's sister her BUA.
Her thoughts slowly drifted from her parents to the people she considered her own family.
" Amma, Bauji, Buaji, Jiji, koi bhi humse baat nahi ker reha hai. Un sabh ki choro, iss Waqt toh shantivan mein humse baat kerna toh door, koi humare teref dekh bhi nahi reha hai! " she raised her voice with each word as she still continued staring into the night.
[ " Mom, Dad, Aunt, Sister, nobody is talking to me. Forget them, at the moment in shantivan, no one is even looking at me, let alone talking to me! " ]
" Yeh sab kya ho geya, itna sab kuch itni jaldi kaise badel geya! Kal tak humari zindaagi mein khushiya hi khushiya thi, humari jiji ki shaadi mein kitna naach rahe the, poora ghar khushi se khil utha tha, aur abh? Abh sab kuch ek jhatke mein khatam. Ghuten si ho rahi hai. Ghar mein khamoshi chayi hui hai. Hum Phir se dobara anarth ho gaye!! " grief consumed her as she spoke into the silence, her own voice echoing back to her. The silence was deafening.
[ " What's happened, how did everything change in a flash? Till yesterday my life was filled with happiness, I was dancing so much in my sister's wedding, the entire house was lively with happiness, and now? Now in a heartbeat everything is gone. I feel so suffocated. There is pin drop silence in the house. Once again I'm an orphan!! " ]
The winds took up their speed and she could hear the distant rumble of a thunder, warning the upcoming storm that was brewing. Shivering even more, she hugged herself tighter and turned to look at the room that she was expected to live in for the next six months and do as told as though she was a robot. She had never felt so lonely in her entire life, not when she first lost here parents to the car crash.
She took a step toward the bedroom and her gaze fell onto the beautifully decorated room, like a typical honeymoon suite as a single tear fell from Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada's eye.
/FLASHBACK ENDS/
* Poolside *
Khushi woke up with a start and felt an ache in her neck as she realized her sleeping position caused her neck to be stiff. She looked around, adjusting to the bright light that shone on her face. She calmed herself and reminded herself that it was just a dream and that it had happened a long time ago. She gathered her sleeping materials from the poolside and mentally noted to take an extra pillow to cushion her head from the hard step she slept on. Bracing herself, she stepped into the room, away from the sunlight. Clutching her pillow and blanket tightly with both hands, she slowly walked towards the bed and saw her husband sleeping peacefully on his bed.
' Nahi khushi, kitni baar apne aap ko yaad dilana parega? Unhe apna pati samjhna band karlo! Tum iss ghar mein sirf kuch hi dino ki mehman ho. Bhale tumari shaadi hui hai inse, lekin shaadi kin halato mein hui, yeh to tum achi terahse janti ho na? Apne uss ateet ko bhulao aur aaj pe dhyan do ' she thought to herself
[ ' No khushi, how many times are you going to remind yourself? Don't refer/think of him as your husband. You're just a guest in the house for a few more days. Even though you are married to him, you know very well the circumstances under which you got married. Forget that past of yours and focus on today ' ]
Arnav Singh raizada turned from his side and rubbed his eye. He opened them and khushi came into his view. He made a small noise of clearing his throat and brought his upper body up so that he now half sat on the bed. Registering his movements, khushi realized that she was staring at him
And snapped out of her trance. Without a word, she quickly walked to the bed, put her pillow and blanket on the bed and rushed to into the toilet without looking back.
Arnav was about to yell at her for using the bathroom first when he felt very heavy headed. He groaned as he Realized he had a headache. He took a sip of water from the glass on the table beside his bed and went back to fully lying down. He kept turning his head towards the bathroom, impatiently waiting for khushi to get out as he wanted to get dressed for work. Within two minutes he dozed off to sleep and khushi exited the bathroom in five minutes, her hair dripping water on the floor as she prepared herself to hear Arnav scold her for using the toilet first.
She came out in a hurry only to see Arnav sleeping. She had scolded herself for rushing to the toilet immediately once she realized he had woken up and thought that she would be scolded. But her mind had no control over her feet as they ran to the bathroom On their own accord.
She was shocked at the sight of Arnav sleeping as she had thought that he would've prepared a speech by now to scold her. Quietly she walked to the dressing area and dried her hair while glancing at Arnav time and again. She was done dressing up, bangles, anklet, earrings and of course her sindoor and mangalsutra that she had to put on for show.
She got lost into her own thoughts as she remembered what Arnav had told her the night he had married her..
/FLASHBACK/
* Mandir *
" Arnavji..? "
" Tumhe in sab cheezo pe bohot vishwaas hai na? [ you believe a lot in these things right? ]So there you go. There's your mangalsutra " - he pointed to her neck to indicate it
" Aur abh yeh hai tumara sindoor " [ and now here is your red vermillion ] he said as he brushed her maang tika [ head adornment ] aside and applied the red vermillion onto her hair parting.
Khushi gasped in shock at his actions, not quite digesting what he had just done. She couldn't believe he had done such a significant and symbolic gesture and behaved as though he did this everyday.
His next words had paralyzed her with fear
" Abse tum meri patni ho. Lekin sirf che mahine ke liye. Che mahine ke poore hone par mein tume iss jhoote rishte se aazad kerlunga lekin tab tek khushi kumari gupta SINGH RAIZADA, Tum mere ghar mein mein kamre mein mere saath meri patni ban ke rahogi. Jo mein kahunga voh karogi, no questions asked, you get it? Maine yeh sab kiya hai, iska galat metlab mat nikalna tum. Mein nahi toh tume kabhi apni patni manuga, nahi patni ka derja dunga aur nahi patni ka huq " he said through clenched teeth, looking at her with intense hate.
[ " Now you're my wife. But only for six months. On the completion of six months I'll free you from this fake relationship but till then khushi Kumari Gupta Singh raizada you will live in my house, in my room, with me as my wife. You'll do as I say, no questions asked, get it? I'm doing all this, but don't take it the wrong way. I will never accept you as my wife, nor will I give you that status or the right. " ]
She stood in front of him, trembling while sobs shook through her body as she tried to comprehend And keep up with his words. His every word sliced through her heart and the look of immense hate shattered her heart into a million pieces.
" Hum sirf duniya ke nazro mein ek happily married couple ka drama karenge. Lekin kamre ke andar tum mere liye kuch nahi ho, kuch nahi, get it! Koi maine nahi rakhti ho tum mere liye!! " he said with digust covering each of his words.
[ " Only in front of the world we will to the drama of being a happily married couple but in the room you are nothing to me, nothing, get it! You mean absolutely nothing to me!! ]
The moment she'd heard those words khushi could literally feel her heart breaking into a million pieces and instantly knew that she would never be able to piece her heart back as a whole.
/FLASHBACK ENDS/
Realizing she was getting late for the morning aarti, she turned to exit the room but debated whether
Or not to wake up arnavji. Then she remembered something he had said about not showing him her face early in the morning and ruin his day so she decided to proceed on.
She made her way to the staircase leading to the hall and took a deep breath as she plastered a fake but believeable smile on her face and put on her daily pretense of a happily married wife like she had been doing for the past five months as she approached the rest of the family.
