{Ch-1}"KHUSHI-JI" The very foundation of Shaantivan shook as the residents of Shaantivan heard their porcelain-doll-like-daughter raise her voice against the elder daughter-in-law of the house. Everyone looked at their ever-so loving Anjali with shock on their faces. They have never seen or even imagined Anjali to raise her voice against SOMEONE or ANYONE. But amongst these people were three people who were shocked out of their choice. Khushi, Arnav and that slime creature Shyam looked more than shocked and bewildered. "Di..." Khushi tried speaking something only to be stopped abruptly by the hand shown by Anjali. Khushi's eyes moisten as the unshed tears filled her eyes. Arnav was confused with all the happenings of the day. Starting from getting almost burnt by thr goons to crying over a lifeless Khushi, has already made him drained out of energy. The only thing he wanted to do was now support. But whom? Anjali was already filled in with all the negativities (pseudo) of Khushi by Shyam. As soon as he got to know that ArShi had run away safe from his hired gonns, he had first framed his accident. Bcoz he knew seeing him hurt, Anjali would forget all her suspicious on him and just mend him. The next he did was in which he was the best. He filled in the family members above how he knew Khushi before ArShi's marriage while all Payal could do was shed helpless tears as Aakash didn't let her speak anything. Is this how an innocent get a justice? Everyone least believed to what Khushi was saying but still Payal and her best friend NK supported her. Arnav was a silent spectator not knowing whom to believe and whom not to. Anything might be the case he was sure this time he won't repeat his mistake of jumping into conclusions without knowing everything. So he remained silent and he knew his Khushi understood his silence. "Go away Khushi." Neither an order nor a request but a helpless cry left Anjali as more tears fell from her eyes while Khushi and Arnav looked at each other shocked. "Di what are..." This time Arnav made an attempt to make his di understand things but seems his di is more stubborn than him. Arnav somehow and anyhow wanted to stop his Di from doing this to Khushi. He has finally found happiness in his life and this time he wanted to be selfish. He couldn't let Khushi go away from him. He needs her with him, for him and beside him... Forever. Anjali was in no mood to listen to anyone. She got reminded of the day's early morning events where Mamiji warned her about Shyam. She recalled how Mamiji said that her husband agreed to divorce her for Khushi. And that nailed it. She could sense the danger. She recalled all the times of the past few days when she had seen Khushi and Shyam going out somewhere together while Shyam had told Anjali abt some acse of his. Her heart twisted knowing her husband might have been behind someone but then she lost it. She had earlier chided her heart for thinking of her husband cheating on her but then her heart just concluded to blame Khushi... Another girl in her husband's life. Of course Khushi had to be the reason. After all her husband wasn't so rude or mean to divorce her for someone else. He loved her, didn't he? Anjali didn't want in any way to lose her husband. She was under a high misconception that Khushi is taking her husband away from her and she would never let that happen. She needs to make Khushi stay away from her husband and with the same thoughts she ordered Khushi to move out but had no response in return. "Khushi you have already tried stealing my Chhote from me now I don't want u to take my husband away from me. So just leave the house right this instant. I don't want ur bad omen to lurk over my house. I should have trusted Chhote when he said that middle class girls are nothing but gold-diggers. Just go away Khushi and never... I mean it never show me or any of the family member ur face." Anjali spat venom on Jhuhi who looked at her numb. She didn't know where did her love for this Lady had gone wrong that now she was being accused for saving her and was named a bad omen. Arnav... He was shocked seeing his sister hurt his love. For the first time ever in his life, Arnav felt self-loathing when he heard his sister say abt middle class girls being gold-diggers. Wasn't he the one who used to mock Khushi saying so? Then why did he flinch when his sister said so? Obviously bcoz he was out of his world that according to him revolved only around power, status and money. But now it was enough. Arnav was just processing his thoughts and actions of past and present when Khushi took a quick glance at him and then turning round she started walking towards the front door with tears flowing freely out of her eyes. Khushi was about to step out of the threshold of Shaantivan when she felt a warm rough hand slip into her right one. She stopped abruptly and turned to her right to see her love, her Arnav-ji standing right beside her facing her with his hand tightly holding hers.
She looked at their COMMENTd hands and again at Arnav as if assuring that she wasn't dreaming. Arnav pressed her hand lightly and gave her a small smile of assurance and it was enough for Khushi. She didn't need money or fame... She just wanted her love beside her supporting her when she needed him the most. And here he was standing right beside her choosing her over his beloved Di. For a moment Khushi thought to ask him to stay with his Di but even she needed love. She was adopter by the Gupta's. They never let her feel adopted yet she always craved for someone who was just hers and on whom none can point their finger and say that he/she isn't completely related to her. So for the first time even she wanted to be selfish, even she wanted her love to be with her so that she can shout in front of the whole world and say that this handsome supportive guy standing beside her belongs just and just to her and no one else.
"Chhote... What are you doing there with that gold-digger? She tried to take your jijaji away from me. Who knowsaybe she was the one who tried harming you? Stay away fron her Chhote. She might harm you once again. Let her gow away from our lives... " Arnav heard his sister ask him to get back to her leaving Khushi alone but this time he had made his decision and like every time he won't be changing it for anyone. Not even for his Di. But his blood boiled when his Di called Khushi a gold-digger once again. That made his anger shoot up inside him.
"SHUT UP DI" Arnav shouted in his anger taking everyone by surprise...not bcoz of his anger but bcoz for the first time he shouted on his Di. Anjali was too shocked to react. Her Chhote raised his voice on her for Khushi. She hated that fact. She has always been pampered by her Chhote then how can he shout at her?
"Chhote you are shouting at me for this..this girl..." Anjali asked with disbelief filled in her voice.
"Di the one you are referring as a girl has a name Khushi... And she is MY legally wedded wife. So stop calling her names. And talking about she trying to take JIJAJI away from you then u r misunderstanding Di. So better try analyzing the situation and then react. I had done a mistake of rushing into things and I won't repeat my mistake. Last time I didn't trust Khushi and I had punished her for no mistake of hers. But this time I won't do that" Arnav said while Khushi looked at Arnav with respect and love brimming in her eyes for this man. He has always taken her by surprise with his acts. He might be bad in saying sorry but he did apologize to her through his acts and she knew and acknowledged then well. She didn't need a word from him to understand him.
Anjali looked at him in disbelief. Her Chhote was indeed supporting his wife over his sister. She looked at her Chhote with shock. No this can't be her Chhote. He won't have supposed anyone else but her.
"Arnav u might trust and be with Khushi but I am not allowing hher to stay in this house. She will never ever take a step inside this house" Anajli announced making Shaym smirk while Arnav looked shocked at Anjali. Anjali called him Arnav instead of Chhote and that was enough for him to know that he had lost his Di to the dirty games of the slime. She was no more his Di but Mrs. Anjali Jha, the wife of Mr. Shyam Manohar Jha.
"Fine.. If that's ur decision then listen to my decision too. If Khushi isn't allowed in this house anymore even I won't enter this house. I will never stay in the house where MY wife isn't welcomed." Arnav said with determined eyes and looked at Khushi who was lost. He pressed her hand and getting a response he smiled slightly at her while she returned the same radiant small smile to him that made his determination stronger. Both took a quick glance at their ex-houee and moved out of the Raizada Mansion with their heads held high and hands entwined together promising to stay beside each other for the rest of their lives and after that.
