Punishing the punished

Khushi was sitting in her room all alone and was looking out of the window and was staring at nothing. Her mind was only occupied with the thought how her life changed completely within in few days.

Someone's lust and power destroyed her innocence completely.The person whom she loved the most never trusted her. The person with whom she wanted to spend her life with called her "characterless". She didn't knew what was her mistake, for what she was punished so brutally. Tears were continuously flowing down from her eyes remembering all the beautiful time spent with NK. She never knew the destiny will play such a joke with her. She wanted to forget everything but it was impossible for her. Every passing second was killing her internally. She wanted to kill the person responsible for this but she can't do anything. she somewhere knew that she will never be able to fight against him. She had left all the hopes.

Garima was quietly standing on the door and was observing her daughter quietly. She knew what her daughter was really going through. The pain was clearly visible in her eyes. She wanted her daughter to forget the past but it was not at all easy for Khushi to forget the bitter past of her life. Arnav had not only destroyed khushi but her entire family was suffering from the pain given by him. Garima quietly entered Khushi's room and placed her hand on Khushi's shoulder sitting just next to her on the floor. Khushi was not reacting much after all that had happened in her life but as she saw Garima next to her she couldn't control anymore and started crying badly in her mother's lap. The only words that came from her side were

"Maaa... why always me !!! why cant I stay happy. Why did he do this to me ? why don't he trust me and believe that I am not a ch...ar..act..erle..s..s girl."the word characterless was pricking her heart. "I was f..orc..ed". (She choked in between but continued)."His brother...f..o.r..ce..d me.."

Garima was letting Khushi cry but her heart was paining looking at her daughter in such a state. She will never be able to forgive both the Raizada brothers responsible for her daughter's condition. She was trying hard to console Khushi and only managed to say "everything will be fine one day. Devimaiya will not let her kids suffer so much. She will give you all the happiness you deserve but for now (cupping Khushi's face and wiping her tears) you have to be strong. You have to fight for the right. You can't be a coward. You are my brave daughter. Show this world that though we are not financially strong but even we have respect..."

"yes...beta ..you have to fight for the right. You can't lose hope"..said Shashi entering Khushi's room. He was passing from there and looking at his wife and daughter's state he came to console them.

All these words of encouragement gave a good impact on Khushi. She was ready to fight for the right. As the family was consoling each other suddenly Khushi's phone buzzed and she was shocked beyond words to see the name on the phone. It was NK's text message. She hurriedly opened it and become happy and smiled a bit.
Khushi-" ma..babuji..its NK..he wants to meet me. I am sure he had found out the truth...maa see.."

Garima took Khushi's phone and read the message...
"I want to meet you. Please come as soon as possible. I know I was wrong please come back to me. I am waiting for you at AR"

Garima and Shashi were happy looking at their daughter's excited face.

Khushi asked her parents " may I go babu ji...please"..." I know NK must be very sorry for his behavior and that's why he called me" "May I please..."
Shashi - "What if Dhruv comes to know about all this"..."he had very strictly said that you should not meet NK..and even I think you should not go there"

Garima- "yess...even I think that your babuji and Dhruv are right...you should avoid going there alone...and moreover I had arranged for puja for your well being..we had to go there..Dhruv is also coming directly to the temple..what if he comes to know about all this..he will not like this at all..he will get very angry"

Khushi:  Ma babuji please let me go.. you all want to see me happy na...see NK text made so happy today..and I will be more happier once I meet him and clarify the things..." saying this she tried standing up but felt a sharp pain in her abdomen..clutching hard her stomach she tried controlling her pain..so that no one notices it..she stood up and pleaded like a kids.

"Please let me go..I promise I won't be late and will directly reach temple"
Garima and Shashi though were unwilling to send her daughter alone...but in the end could not say no to Khushi..she was smiling after so many days...I can they make her sad again..

Garima: "But be on time and don't be late..."
Khushi: "yes..ma sure"
Shashi: "and take care of yourself"

Khushi was so excited to meet NK that she forgot all her pains..she kissed her parents and thanked them for letting her go...and rushed towards AR.

AT AR-

It was all dark in the company. No one was there except the watchmen. She hurriedly made her way to NK's cabin. It was all dark in his cabin too. She saw a figure standing near the window. She ran towards the figure and hugged him from behind thinking of NK. She was hugging him from behind and started crying..they were her happy tears. Tears of getting her love back. Controlling her sobs she managed saying "I love you NK..I knew...I knew that once you will know the truth you will call me...you know how difficult it was... for me... to live without you...I knew you know ..."

She was cut off by the person standing whom Khushi was hugging...he turned to look towards Khushi and hugged her...and whispered in her ear "welcome back Ms Gupta."

Khushi was familiar was this voice and instantly recognized that it belongs to none other than ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA...she tried shrugging him off but his grip was too tight on her waist...

"why are you being so stubborn..no one is here..and why are you so scared of me..i wont do anything..i had already marked you..."

Khushi- "Leave me...i said leave me...how dare you touch me like that".

Arnav- (still hugging her)" I had already touched you EVERYWHERE...every curve every inch of your body...".

Khushi-(shrugging him off and pointing her finger towards him "how dare you talked to me like this??? And what are you doing here whereas my NK? I don't want to talk to a person like you..you are a rapist.."

Arnav- (her attitude was enough to make him angry) he pinned her on the next wall in such a way that her back was facing his front ..."how dare you...so much guts...so much courage...keep all your attitude within yourself..don't try messing with me again otherwise you know what can I do to you.."

Pain again aroused in her abdomen..she was unable to say anything...pushing her more towards the wall he continued.."you think NK called you..you are such a foolish girl...it was I who texted you and called you here...do you think after accusing me for your rape NK will trust you..NO... Ms Gupta ...he can never think of this...after all he trust his brother more than a girl like you.."
His words were more hurtful then the pain her abdomen...tears were continuously flowing out and she only hissed in pain.."ahhh"

"Ohh is it still paining...I told you to compromise but you didn't obey me...you were busy in your useless efforts...now bare the consequences"...said arnav in a casual way.

"Please let me go...now what you want...you had already taken away everything that I... possessed now what you want..." pleaded Khushi

Arnav -(still pinning her)" I...( with a smirk)...I don't want anything from you...I already took what I wanted...haan but if you don't want me do to anything to you and your beloved family...you have to leave this city"

Khushi-"w..h...y should I follow your ...orders..."...(controlling her pain)..."we are not going anywhere".

Arnav-seems like that you don't love your family...(pressing her more in the wall...making her pain unbearable)

Khushi-" I am not scared of you anymore"..."do what you want to do"...
"and don't forget that I will forget everything easily...very soon you will be behind the bars..you will be suffering more than I am suffering...you will be alone...that day you will regret your deeds"

Arnav-(with a smirk)"Keep on dreaming Ms Gupta...that day will never come in your life" (letting her free from his grip) "you may now leave as it seems you are not interested in this deal and I don't have time to waste on you, I have to do some important things too...haan but if these stupid dreams make you happy then you may because after what all things I have done to you...you have no reason left to be happy".

Khushi was feeling disgusted with his presence near her. His words were so rude and hurtful that she couldn't control her tears.

"You will suffer one day Mr Raizada...that day all your money will not be able to bring happiness in your life."

Arnav was really not interested in all these crap..." if you are done with your nonsense you may leave...and we will see who suffers the most...and mark my words you will pay and suffer for your disobedience as you are suffering now"

Khushi ran away from their as soon as possible clutching her abdomen wiping her tears she was running as fast as she can. She was scared...very scared. She just wanted to reach temple as soon as possible so that she may hide herself in her mother's warmth.

She was standing on the stairs of the temple searching for her family. She was getting restless and Arnav's words were echoing in her ears.."seems like you don't love your family". Her thoughts were broken by the sudden noise of someone's scream.

The scream seems to be of a familiar person. She ran towards the source of the noise. As she reach their she saw a truck and crowd surrounding it. She went close to it and heard people talking about an old couple who were crossing the road and met with an accident. Khushi was getting panic...she cleared the crowd and was shock beyond words after looking at the horrible sight.

"Maaa...Babuji..."
Khushi couldn't control the pain anymore Arnav's word were echoing in her mind "seems like you don't love your family" and then suddenly she felt some wetness... and her vision blurred.

Khushi fainted and laid lifeless just near the dead bodies of her maa babuji...
