There is a warning love sends and the cost of it is never written
Till long afterward

                                                              -Carl Sandburg

With a storm approaching, the wind slowly but strongly picks up. A lone figure strikingly dressed in red wanders the street.

Not noticing where she's going, feeling as if the she could be swept off her feet like a leaf in the wind.

Remembering HIM....his words....his eyes....

Not too far away a man driving his car with such speed he can easily hit something or someone.

With a determined look in his chocolate orbs, drives his car seeking the girl that haunts his thoughts.

Khushi suddenly hears a car screeching, she looks behind her blinded by the SUV lights.

Arnav forcefully opens his car door and emerges from the car and swiftly walks up to her.
"Get in the car" stiffly ordering her. Look up at him then turning her head Arnav grabs her arm and drags her to the car.

Before she can say anything she's in the passenger seat with seatbelt buckled securely as if he's imprisoning her.

=====================================

The car drive was deadly quiet she nor he wanted to be the first to say anything.

He glanced at her waiting for to speak or react, but she looking out the passenger window defiantly.

Arnav mood turning angrier as each minute passes finally broke the tension.

"Aren't you going to congratulate me?....You were so happily congratulating Lavanya that you forgot me?

She almost turned to look at him, but was nervous to know what she would find if stared into his eyes. Looking in front of her she plastered a forced smile saying " You right, Mubarak ko finally you and Lavanyaji are getting married;what Lavanyaji, Anjaliji and I have worked towards has finally come true....Even Naniji is happy.....Now that the two of you will be married soon, my work is done".

Arnav sharply turns her "So you don't want to know why I kept your anklet for all these months?"

"That doesn't matter anymore... What's important is that you and Lavanyaji will be starting your lives together,
I'm really happy for the both of you".

With a pained and angry expression " Are you happy that I'm getting married? " glaring out the windscreen of the car.

Smiling with tear rimmed eyes she replied "Of course main khush hoon. This is best for everyone".

Hearing this Arnav abruptly stops the car a few feet away from her house.

" Get.Out." he angrily orders her.

Glancing at him then looking away she then tries to unbuckle her seatbelt seeing her struggle he almost ripped the seatbelt unbuckles her out of the seat. Getting out of the car as she's turning to leave her sari pallu gets caught in seat.
Khushi not able to keep up this cheerful act anymore starts to feel her resolve crumbling.

As if the heavens have shown mercy,Khushi finally pulls her pallu free and rushes insides the house before she completely unravels.
