"Jaane se pehle hum aapse kehna chahte hain ke hum bhi aapse I Love You dammit"
Khushi's words keeps ringing in his ears. Arnav hasn't seen Khushi since two years, but there hasn't been a single day when he never thought about her; about her love, her beauty, her beautiful big eyes, her innocent face and HER BETRAYAL.
His hands turns into a fist as he remembers the horrible incident that took place in his life; the incident which changed his life completely. Even after her betrayal, he is not able to forget her, and this is what's making him restless, frustrated and angry.
Getting up from the couch, he throws his laptop across the room in anger.
"What the...what have you done to me Khushi?"
yells Arnav
After hearing the loud sound of the laptop and his yelling, Anjali rushes in his room. Reaching in front of him, she examines him from top to bottom. Anger, frustration and hate, are visible in his eyes and his hands are turned into a fost.
"Choote kya hua?"
asks Anjali, concerned
Arnav looks towards Anjali as his facial expressions turns soft seeing his sister, but the anger inside him does not reduce. He loves Anjali to an extent and he won't say anything that'll hurt her, so he decides to lie.
Turning his back towards her, he shuts his eyes in order to control his emotions.
"Kuch nahi di wo bus..."
replies Arnav
Without letting him complete his sentence, Anjali grabs Arnav's left arm with her right hand and turns him towards her.
"Kya baat hai choote? Tum humse jhoot nahi bol sakte"
asks Anjali
Arnav looks towards Anjali with painful eyes. She knows him well enough to guess that there is something wrong. First, she thinks it's related to his work, but now, she is sure that there is something else that is bothering him.
"Kuch khas nahi di!"
replies Arnav, lowering his eyes
Anjali knows that for sure Arnav is hiding something from her, she knows her choote. This is when Anjali understands that this is something related to Khushi because since the last two years, her choote has changed, he has turned into a stone and back to who he was before, the arrogant ASR, Arnav Singh Raizada.
Holding him for his shoulders, Anjali forces him to look at her.
"Kya tum Khushi ji ke baray mein sooch rahe ho?"
asks Anjali, looking directly in his eyes
This does not surprise Arnav because he knows her sister can guess his state easily.
Anjali waits for few seconds but Arnav does not utter a single word, so, she decides to ask her second question.
"Kya tum abhi bhi Khushi ji se pyaar karte ho choote?"
asks Anjali
This bold question from Anjali surprises Arnav. In the past two years, Anjali hasn't asked him this question, then what happened suddenly?
"What the..."
Utters Arnav and turns his back towards Anjali in order to hide his feelings.
"No way di"
he says further
Anjali knows that he is lying. Even though he hasn't expressed it, he has been dying inside since the past two years.
"Toh ye baat tum hamari aankhoon mein dekh kar kaho choote"
says Anjali
Turning towards Anjali, Arnav holds her by her shoulders.
"Mein theek hoon di"
says Arnav
Without answering his question, Arnav walks towards the door to go out when Anjali's voice drags his attention.
"Tum ek baar Khushi ji se mil kyun nahi lete choote?"
questions Anjali
Arnav halts in his tracks after hearing Anjali's question. Anger boils up inside him as Anjali utters each word. Turning towards Anjali, Arnav takes few steps towards her until he reaches in front of her.
"Haan di mujhe bhi ab lagta hai ke mujhe ab Khushi se mil lena chahiye. I will make sure she gets what she deserves. I will make her life hell"
utters Arnav
Taking a step back, he dials a number on his phone.
"Aman, mujhe Khushi Kumari Gupta ka current address chahiye as soon as possible"
orders Arnav and he disconnects the call
With that, he marches out of the room in anger leaving a scared Anjali behind. Anjali is scared for Khushi, she knows her Choote well enough, he can do anything when it comes to satisfying his ego.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Get out of my life Khushi"
"Aaj ke baad mujhe apni shakal kabhi mut dekhana"
"I hate you Khushi...dhoka dia hai tumne mujhe"
This jerks Khushi as she sits up on her bed, drenched in sweats. The horrible incident and Arnav's words keeps ringing in Khushi's ears. Not for a single minute she has forgotten Arnav. She wants to forget the past and move on, but she is unable to, something inside her is stopping her.
Reaching the glass of water on her right side table, she grabs it and takes few sips of water in order to calm herself down.
Putting the glass away, she sits back on her bed comfortably. Looking at the clock on the wall, she realises it has been 12pm and she has been sleeping for a while.
A lot had changed in the past two years. She has gotten dark circles due to the lack of sleep. She cries all night as she remembers each and every word that Arnav has said to her. She stays up all night and sleeps around nearly 4am. She has stopped making jalebis and she hasn't been talking to her "Devi Maiyya"
The only thing she does is stay at home. She has tried getting a job, but she fails every time because of her lack of qualifications.
Chalo maiyya ke bhawan bhawan bhawan
The ringing of her cell phone brings her back to reality from her thoughts. Looking towards her right, she picks up the phone from her side table. Pressing the green button, she answers the call.
"Hello"
says Khushi
"Kya mein Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta se baat kar sakta hoon?"
asks the person on the other side of the phone.
Khushi's heart skips a beat as she hears this familiar voice. She has heard this voice before, but she fails to remember where.
"Ji hum Khushi bol rahe hain"
Replies Khushi, stammering
"Hi ma'am mein Aman baat kar raha hoon. ASR aap se baat karna chahte hain"
says Aman
