Oh Khushi... I love you so much...

You know... This is the best day of my life...

Her laughter... As she was being twirled

Her smile

Those eyes... Which twinkled just for him...

HE WAS THE REASON FOR HER SMILE!!

HER TWINKLING EYES!!!

ALL THAT WAS HIS!!!!

HIS!!!!

NO ONE COULD TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM

NO ONE!!!!

Yet.. He sat in his car. Driving recklessly to god knows where.

"KHUSHI!!!!" He screamed in agony.

Feeling as if someone had clawed his heart in a painful grip, He stopped his SUV somewhere on the outskirts of the city

"HOW COULD YOU?? HOW COULD YOU KHUSHI!?!?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME??" Arnav cried bitterly

"Arnavji.. You'll never leave me Alone Right?" Khushi asked. Her head resting on his chest. A content smile playing on her lips.

"Never Khushi... Never in a million years" Arnav assured stroking her cheek lovingly

"I kept my Promise Khushi... I did. I never left you alone. I-I never even thought-"

"Agar tumhe kisi aur se pyaar ho Gaya toh? (What if you fell in love with someone else?)" Arnav asked

"Jis din iss Dil ne aapke liye dhadakna band kar dia... Uss din yeh dil dhadakna band kar dega (The day my heart will stop beating for you... It'll stop beating altogether)" Khushi said

"JHOOT!!!! JHOOT... SAB JHOOT!! (LIE!!!! LIE.... EVERYTHING IS A LIE!!)" Arnav screamed

"Tumhara dil... Ab mere liye nahi Dhadakta Khushi... (Your Heart... doesn't beat for me now. Khushi)" Arnav sobbed

"Arnavji Ko dekha aapne Di?? (Di... Have you seen Arnavji??)" Khushi asked

"Nahi Khushiji... Kyu kuch kaam Thaa?? (No Khushiji... Why was something important??)" Anjali asked

Only if she could tell her... But no!

"Aa jaeinge Chote... Don't worry. Aap so Jaiye (Chote will come.. Don't worry. You go and sleep)" Anjali said

Khushi gave her a nervous smile and went inside the kitchen instead

Arnav entered Shantivan long after midnight. His eyes were Red and Swollen due to all the crying.

He entered the Kitchen and found the Kitchen lights on.

Khushi was sleeping with her head on the table,

Why did she care to wait for me... How does it matter to her whether I have my dinner or not??

Arnav sat beside her on the chair and had his dinner noiselessly. He couldn't keep his eyes off her the whole time he took to have his dinner.

He knew she must've had her dinner long ago. Even if she denied.. His family never let her wait for him to have her dinner if he got too late.

For what felt like hours, His heart and Mind debated on whether to wake her up or not

In the end He gently scooped her up in his arms.

His heart had won!

Khushi opened her eyes a little

"Just me... Sleep" Arnav said softly

Just one more night... Just one

Khushi wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled into him.

"What the hell are you doing Khushi... I can't understand you" Arnav thought 

The Next Morning

"Arnavji... I wanted to tell you something" Khushi said

"I want to talk to you as well" Arnav said

"Um... Boliye (Yeah... Tell)" Khushi said

"Not here... Come with me" Arnav said dragging Khushi with him to the Hall.

"Kya Hua Chote? Why have you called us here? (What happened Chote?)" Anjali asked

"Haan Arnav Bitwa... What Happened" Manorama Mami asked

"Di.. Jija-ji Kahaan hain?(Di.. Where is Jija-ji?)" Arnav asked

"Here Saale-Sahab. What happened? Sorry Raani-Saheba I got late" Shyam said standing next to his wife

"Ek Hadd hoti hai harr cheez ki (There's a limit of everything). There's a limit of Shamelessness Shyam Manohar Jha..." Arnav said angrily

"Saale-Sahab... What happened?" Shyam asked bewildered

"Arnavji... What-"

"DON'T YOU DARE ARNAVJI ME KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA SINGH RAIZADA" Arnav roared

Khushi flinched at his loud voice

"Chote... Hua kya hai?(What has happened?" Anjali asked

"Our partners are cheating on us Di.. My Wife and Your Husband" Arnav said gravely

Khushi wanted to laugh out loud at that... But her laughter never crossed the threshold of her throat as Her husband said the next words

"They are having an affair behind our backs" Arnav said

"What the..." Khushi whispered

"What are you saying Arnavji... Is this the time to joke around??" Khushi asked

"No it's not. And I'm not joking Khushi... I am dead serious!" Arnav said.

That was when she noticed that Arnav's eyes were red

"Did you cry Arnavji?" Khushi asked

"Its none of your concern" Arnav replied curtly

"None of my concern... I am your Wife Arnavji" Khushi said baffled

"A wife.. Who has cheated on me.. With my own Jija-ji" Arnav retorted

"This is not funny Saale-Sahab.. What are you talking about?" Shyam asked

"That... You and Khushi are in a relationship... An illegitimate relationship" Arnav said

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!! HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ARNAVJI??" Khushi shouted

"Don't shout!! Sach keh raha huin mein. Tum dhoka de rahi ho mujhe... (I'm saying the truth. You're betraying me... ) " Arnav said

Khushi went near Arnav and cupped his face in her palms

"Aap... Mazaak kar rae hai haina? Yeh mazaak bahut taqleef de raha hai mujhe Arnavji... Please band kariye iss tarah ki baatein karna (You're... Joking right? Its hurting me Arnavji... Please stop saying such things)" Khushi pleaded scared

Arnav jerked her hands away

"Stop Pretending!! BLOODY STOP PRETENDING!! You don't need to pretend anymore!! I know your truth. I know that You and Shyam love each other. You don't have to pretend." Arnav said brokenly

"Arnavji...-"

"Khushiji... One minute. Saale-sahab. What is wrong with you. What makes you believe that I and Khushiji are in a relationship?" Shyam asked calmly

"I saw you at the terrace last night. When you were smiling and laughing with each other... When You were twirling her... When you said I love you to her.. I heard each and everything!!! Each and everything!!!!" Arnav roared 

"What... The... Hell" Khushi whispered horrified

He had misread the whole situation!!!

"Saale-Sahab... It's not like you think it is.. You are reading it all the wrong way." Shyam explained

"Oh Am I? Okay... Let's give you the benefit of doubt here Shall we?" Arnav asked rhetorically

Khushi Anjali and Shyam looked on anxiously

"Questions Number One: Were you... Or were you not there on the terrace with each other last night?" Arnav asked

"Yes.. But-" Khushi answered

"Saale-Sahab-" Shyam voiced

"Number Two: Did Shyam not say that he loves you?" Arnav asked

"Arnavji-"

"Yes Or no"

"Yes"

"Have you ever known each other beyond RM. As anyone other than Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law" Arnav asked

"Yes Arnavji" Khushi answered. Her voice flat.

"Out!!" Arnav yelled

"Saale-Sahab!"

"Chote... You're overreacting!"

"I said... Out of my house!!" Arnav roared

Khushi stood still as a statue

"OUT!!" Arnav roared angrily

Khushi staggered a few steps scared

"Di..." Khushi called softly

"Khushiji..."

"How many years... Have we been married for Di?" Khushi asked

"Th-Three" Anjali whispered

"This... Is what I reap... After loving him with all my life. All my soul. For three years." Khushi whispered brokenhearted

"Khushiji... This is just a big misunderstanding. It can be sorted" Shyam said

"No... He told me to get out. He told me... That he doesn't trust me. He doesn't trust me... He doesn't" Khushi whispered in tears
