Chapter 21: Scars of past

Arjun baby...how are you darling sorry to cal you at this time but now I can't bear a moment without you..lets get married tomorrow infact I am thinking why not today itself..make me yours..i wanted to feel you inside me and...! Before she speak further he snatched her phone and break it into pieces. He is splitting fire in anger.

''What is this Mr raizada, how could you broke my phone..do you know its Arjun's first gift to me..it's his symbol of love'' He get mad by her words and without thinking anything he dragged her in front of idol and filled her partition with sindoor getting furious.

Khushi get dumbstruck and stood motionless glaring at him blankly for a moment. She felt numb and could not fathom what was happening ...did he really? She shook and keep on denying but everything sacked within few moments. She touched her partition disbelieving and looked at her fingers delusional which is filled with red color. She arched back and began trembling when he supported her by holding her hand. Her eyes welled with tears. Then her tears turned into painful anger realizing he is holding her. She immediately pulled him away with all her force.

''You monster..how dare you do that without my consult...I won't accept it..i hate you...I hate you. She began smacking off her sindoor angrily feeling disgusted but it getting more dark. He exhaled a sharp breathe realizing what he had just did. He again hurt her unknowingly. He clenched his jaw cursing himself. He is the sole reason of every drop of her tears and sorrow. More he is trying to sooth her but he again end up hurting her and this time probably she would not forgive him at all.

She began rubbing her partition to shrugged all his touches that make him believe she is now belong to him but she won't let this happen. She will never let him win. This forced marriage is a biggest shock for her. She never thought in her dream he will do like that to broke her but she will not broke. Nothing affects her. She became stone hearten. Her amma babuji murderer is now her husband..? No this is not possible. They will never forgive her. She began feeling disgusting of herself and in anger she is trying to hurt herself by using nails to remove vermilion from her head. Her sindoor is mixed with her blood. He get panic by seeing her blood and trying to stop her but she is not allowing him to come near her and pushing him whenever he is inching closer that is making him more distraught.

Khushi stop it...what you doing? She began pushing him on his chest angrily and he hug her to calm her down. She is making all efforts to wave him away but he clutches her tightly and hugged her possessively.

''Hosh mein ao khushi..why you are hurting yourself..punish me as much you want but don't hurt yourself?'' he careless her face to make her feel better. She could not gather strength to look back into his eyes. Her mind went blank and everything seems dark before her eyes. She is feeling secure and relax after some moments and then get dizzy into his arms.

''I would never accept you my husband..i am going to marry arjun and you won't stop me''! She murmured before losing her conscious. He shuddered looking back at her and patted her cheeks to gain her conscious but nothing is affecting on her. He can assume due to stress and tiredness she get fainted.

He lifted her in his arms and took her inside his car and settled her properly. Removing first aid box he began applying cream by blowing on her wound lovingly. Few strains of tears still visible on her cheeks. He wipe it away gently. His eyes moistened seeing her condition. Her pain make him feel more vulnerable. He still can't believe she try to hurt herself. If he wouldn't stopped her on time then don't know what would have happen. The wound get healed with time but how can he cure her wounded heart where extreme pain is buried. She was not in her senses yet there is so much sorrow visible from her face.

How he rectify his mistake? What he should do to bring back old khushi? He wanted to make her smile but if his presence always hurt her then he will go away from her life forever and never come in front of her.

This marriage step was biggest mistake he committed. He would never force her to be with him. He decided to surrender himself probably then she would get peace. He played her words how she wanted to marry Arjun and hurt him. If by marrying him she feel happy then he won't come in between them. It's unbearable for him to see her with someone else.

"I don't deserve khushi..arjun is perfect choice for her but what about anju..what I tell her if she ask about khushi?''

*******

Arjun gulped down his throat and looking down in shyness by his elder sister queries His sister sitting beside him was keenly waiting for his answer. She pressed her lips to control her laugh.

Bro I am asking you something? Who is that girl who stole your heart? There is only pin drop silence from his end. She was looking at his helpless eyes who get caught. If she doesn't saw him talking with a girl then she never came to know about that his mysterious girlfriend and now she won't spare him.

There is no one didi..why you are hell bend behind me, he denied callously. She is not satisfied by his answer and charged him folding her hands. He is making random excuses that she is misunderstanding him. She is only his friend nothing more than that. Deep inside he wanted to tell her but he feel scared what if khushi don't like it. He yet don't know if she really loved him or just for their friendship she proposed him.

''I am not your real sister that's why you are not sharing your feeling, wasn't you? Its okay..i don't bother you anymore!!'' She grumble sadly but inwardly smiling thinking this blackmailing always worked on her innocent brother.

What rubbish you talking didi..blood relation is not everything so what you are my cousin sister you are more closer than anyone. Did I hide anything from you ever? You are my soul sister and I love you a lot. She look on touched and emotional and side hug him deliberately.

''Didi I love her and she propose me for marriage...I am sorry if I hurt you''. She slapped his head annoyingly.

I was just kidding dumbo..anyways I am so happy for you..I never seen you so desperate for marriage. Did you remember whenever mom shows any girl pictures how you ran away and due to her continuous groaning you went to US, haina? She grinned.

''Yah di you are right but I am so grateful for mom..I never able to meet khushi if she won't force me for marriage. She pulled his cheeks sweetly but then suddenly froze listening khushi's name.

Khushi? Something stuck to her mind but she shrugged all unwanted thought and console herself that girl won't be her. Her chain of thoughts broke by his voice.

Didi? Where are you lost..don't you want to know about my girl..she is so charming and beautiful..I can't wait to make her mine. He was continuously blabbering and praising her but on the other end his sister is lost somewhere and urge to clear her doubt.

What her full name? She questioned him to clear her doubts.

Khushi gupta!! She widen her eyes in shock and jerk back a little. A sudden smirk appear on her lips.

What happen LAVANYA DIDI? Yes the girl is none other than Lavanya kashyap, Arjun kapoor's cousin sister.

Wow bro...I can't tell you how much I am happy for you..you did an awesome job in trapping her...euww..I mean her name sounds so cool then how lovely she would be. She gave him a content smile.

''Miss Khushi gupta I thought till today you would have died after what had happen but no..you need a good treatment and this time I won't leave you so easily''. She glance at arjun who is lost in day dreaming about her and gave a cunning smile.

*Flashback*

Asr please don't do this to me..please forgive me... I love you!! She went ahead to touch him when he gave her a tight slap on her face in return.

Don't you dare come near me...stay away..you stole important tender of my company and sold to my biggest rivals..I had forgiven you last time for the sake of your ill mother and gave you last chance in a hope you will change but you lost it all..because of you I punish an innocent girl..i hate you more than anything..get out!!!!!! She dropped on his feet and showed her fake tears.

Security!!!!!!! He barked furiously. 'Throw this filthy girl out of my sight otherwise you all are fire...!!''

After 2 days:

''What are you saying..please don't do this. Hello..listen please''. The phone already disconnected. She fumed.

''How could you do this to me, Asr...you cancel all my contracts from your company and now no one is ready to hire me by your damn reputation..I am lavanya kashyap I never leave you so easily..you will paid off for messing with me''!

Next day she went into his office even though security tried to stopped her but she didn't gave any ear to them and hurriedly dashed inside.

''What the..who let you in!!'' he yelled on top of his voice.

''My carrier is ruined no one is ready to give me any kind of contract..asr please don't do this to me? Gave me one last chance...I would do anything for you.

She seductively inched closer and bend down to gave him little view of her assets. He looked away flaring his temper and pushed her away. He painfully closed his eyes remembering khushi innocent face. She began approaching him but then stopped glancing at khushi picture to his desk.

''Its all because of that Bi*** don't know what magic she created that even after she left still you can't get over of her..I wished she would have died or committed suicide'' He tightened his jaws listening the abuses. His eyes turn red in anger.

''You ashamed me..i was such a pervert trusting you over khushi...how badly I treated her..i can't look into my sister's eyes because of that incident and somehow you are the reason of everything..I will never forgive you..you messed with my life and now you will be punished for all those sins..i will make sure no one would assign you..your dream to became topmost model is finished miss kashyap...if you again show me your disgusting face ever again I would send you in jail and no one able to save you...now get the hell out of my life before I take any crucial step against you..this is my last warning.. don't awake monster in me that you regret whole life''! She boiled and turned to leave.

''Now I am going but one day I will come back..you will regret by ruining my carrier..i won't spare you and your so called khushi.''

''Don't you dare utter her name from your bloody mouth''! With a stern voice.

''Oh my god...i never seen you affected by any girl..what that downmarket girl made you that you can't see anything other than her? Don't tell me you develop soft corner for her...are you in love with her?'' She asked in a teasing tone.

''A girl like you would never understand the purity of love and before I take any action against you just get lost''!!!

*Flashback end*

''Khushi is your biggest weakness, doesn't she? You have no idea what I have planned for you in near future, asr. Now I will make sure khushi will marry arjun as soon as possible...Bro you make things so easier for me I love you for that''. she laughed evilly.

*********

Khushi was standing in front of mirror staring at her partition aimlessly. Arnav dropped her back home and thankfully dhruv went to meet anjali so he won't get chance to meet him. Arnav called doctor and after she regain conscious he go back without meeting her. He did not gather strength to face her. She went inside washroom and cried her heart out leaning under shower to remove every trace of sindoor but the flashes of their previous encounter came before her eyes.

''This marriage meant nothing to me..I will never accept that rapist, my husband''.

After a moment while, She soak her face with towel and move out of washroom, lost in her own world when her mother words gathered her attention.

How she always used to taught her the meaning of sindoor and mangalsutra. A lone tear fell from the corner of her eyes remembering her each and every word.. She used to tell her how sindoor importance for any married girl but now it is nothing more than a scar for her that brutally broke her apart. Her amma-babuji murderer can never be her husband..never ever.

''No this is not right..what I am doing? I cannot marry arjun and ruin his life as now arnav forcefully married me.''! She is feeling traumatized of herself seeing her partition is still filled with redness where he played his cards by filling her partition and due to wound at that exact place, it is not going away even though she made several attempt by applying soup several times to get rid off but the mark remain the same and showing the clear view of that scar. She was struggling with her thought that when someone's hand shook her.

Khushi!! You are back...i didn't realize when you..? said Anjali and Dhruv come to her.

She was yet facing to other side finding a way to hide herself and began panicking what if he see her then how she would explain him? She quickly placed dupatta on her head and cover herself till forehead so that he can't able to see her sindoor.

Khushi did you like my bhaiya? Anjali asked desperately pulling her hand to look at her face. She gulped and turned toward them hesitantly. Dhruv noticed dupatta that she is covering her head

And why you are putting dupatta so weirdly, he shoved it away instantly and in next moment, widen his eyes seeing vermilion on her head. Both looked at each other in shocked expression.

What is this khushi...yeh sindoor? He amost yelled, can't believe his eyes and anjali is still in bewildered state.

Bhaiya woh..main...! she looked down sobbing cannot manage to met his eyes.

Answer me khushi!!!! He grabbed her arms and raised her chin to looked at him.

''Bhaiya, arnav and i..we are marr.. humne shaadi karli!'' She spoke in one motion and embraced into his arms weeping. Both gasped unable to digest her words.
