Khushi sat on her bed in the house of Suhani and Aman thinking about her life and how Arnav was defending Anjali after her atrocious suggestion.

Khushi knew no matter what happens Anjali will forever be his priority and no one could change it not even what they had discovered would stop him from being his sister's puppet and he is even capable of accusing them of framing his sister out of jealousy but she can't blame him because she also didn't believe Anjali was capable of doing what they discovered and it took her own confession to believe she is capable of doing it.

She walked downstairs to the kitchen as she remembered all that happened in the past two months.

Flashback.

Khushi walked aimlessly on the streets of Delhi with tears streaming down her cheeks.

She entered Laxmi Nagar to find Shyam in the house threatening the family.

"How could you deceive us like this?..... And you have the nerve to threaten us...... We will surely expose you. " Garima threatened and Shyam let out an evil laughter.

"Go ahead...... They would never believe you..... What prove do you people have that I was engaged to Khushi? " Buaji and Garima looked defeated knowing he was right. "Not only will they not believe you but Payal and Akash's marriage will be called off for framing their beloved son in law...... No one will want a woman who has been rejected twice..... So go ahead and tell them
"

A loud slap resounded in the hallway and Shyam turned to find a fuming Khushi.

"You are a sick man...... Anjali deserves better and I will surely tell her. " Khushi threatened and Garima spun her around and held her shoulder.

"You will do no such thing..... I won't allow you to break Payal's marriage again...... We don't know this man and that's how it will be forever. " Garima said shocking Khushi who looked at her aunt but she looked like she was in support of Garima.

She moved away from Garima and towards Payal.

"Jiji..... You don't want to start you relationship with Akash based on a lie....... Akash loves you and he will believe and stand by you..... Please help me expose this man.... Please jiji. " Khushi pleaded with tears in her eyes but Payal looked angrily at her.

"Amma is right...... We don't know him and that's how it will stay...... And please stop this..... I won't let your bad omen ruin another chance at happiness for me. " Payal said without remorse making Khushi gasp in shock as she moved back and fell on her knees.

"Give up Khushi..... I will always win and remember you will be the one at loss and not me...... Am leaving and if you people know what is good for you, you will all keep your mouths shut or something really bad will happen to all of you. "
Shyam walked out leaving the family behind.

"Hey Khushi...... If you value this family, then you will keep your mouth shut. " Buaji threatened and Khushi stood up and walked into her room.

She couldn't stay with this disgusting people anymore.

She knew it will break the heart of her father but she has to do it.

She took her suitcase and packed some of her belonging and took all her savings and divided it into three parts and put them in an envelope.

She then placed one in her bag and walked out with both her suitcase and the envelopes.

Garima, Buaji, Payal and Shashi looked shocked seeing her holding her suitcase.

Khushi then handed one of the envelopes to Payal.

"This is for the household expenses. " She said and walked up to Buaji. "This is for babuji's medical expenses and don't worry, I will get you more if you need it because I am the only one who can  since none of want to do anything to help this family financial...... And one more thing, call me when you people need me to put one a show of how much of a good people you all really are but from now on until she gets married I am still going to pretend to be part of the family but after that, you all except babuji is my family and after that you can make up any lie to the Raizadas about how I left. " Khushi then turned to babuji with a smile on her face.

She kneeled to his level and smiled at him.

"I have to go babuji..... I can't stay with these despicable people anymore..... I hope you understand. " Khushi cried out and Shashi smiled and lifted his hand and onto her head.

He silently blessed her and Khushi looked at her father.

She smiled seeing his understanding and hugged him.

After a few minutes, Khushi broke the hug and walked out turning a deaf ears to the calls from Payal.

She stopped at the window and watched her father for the last time and he looked angry at something a crying Garima was saying.

But he ignored it and walked away.

She knew there was only one person who would help her and that was her good friend Aman.

He has always protected her even incuring the wrath of Arnav several times but he never stop helping or protecting her and at that moment, she knew he was the only one she could trust.

And just like that he arrived with his car to  Laxmi Nagar park within minutes of calling him.

She had no other choice than to tell him the whole truth.

Aman looked pissed hearing all this.

"It's good you didn't tell Arnav..... You leave every thing to me . ...... I will handle it myself because that fool is like a puppet in his sister's hands and he has nearly fired me countless times for pointing it out. " Khushi looked shocked hearing this and Aman nodded. "Anjali will forever be his priority and that's why I haven't been a great fan of you falling in love with him. " Khushi bowed her head and  Aman lifted her chin. "You will never be happy with Arnav as long as Anjali is in the picture...... He may be a smart man but he is blind in his love for his sister. "

Khushi agreed with Aman and decided to stay away from Arnav for good.

Suhani the mother of Aman happily invited Khushi in as her daughter because she has always wanted a daughter before Aman's father died and God has given her one through Khushi.

Suhani was furious hearing what Shyam and the Guptas did and wanted them to confront him but Aman stopped her and she trusted her son to make things right.

Khushi started living with the Mathurs which was only known by the Guptas.

Three weeks after Arnav and Lavanya broke up out of the blue, Aman took his mother and Khushi shopping for the wedding.

Suhani wanted to use the washroom and Khushi followed her as Aman waited for them at the parking lot.

Suhani and Khushi were walking towards the washroom when they were halted by the sound of a slap.

They were shocked seeing a woman in a cashier uniform slapping Anjali but what she said shocked them.

Suhani pulled Khushi away and they hid behind a pillar.

"You and Shyam cheated my sister behind her back...... You are a bloody mistress and it's because of you and Shyam that my sister committed suicide and I will never forgive you or Shyam for it and don't you dare think you can bribe me to leave Delhi because I am not weak like my sister. "

The girl walked away leaving a fuming Anjali behind.

She looked around to find no one around and she looked relieved as she walked away.

Suhani and Khushi looked at each other shocked and run back to the parking lot and told Aman everything.

"We have to find that woman and make her help us expose Anjali...... Once we do this, it will be easy to expose Shyam...... Maa.... Khushi..... Do you guys remember the uniform she was wearing? " They both nodded and went looking for the shop.

After half a hour, they found the girl and she was shocked seeing Aman because everyone knew he was the right hand man of Arnav.

Suhani then told her how they needed her help to expose Anjali but she didn't believe them and it took a lot of convincing from Khushi but she agreed in the end.

Khushi gave her Anjali's number and she called her asking to meet in one of the shops warehouse with money for her to keep her mouth shut.

"Dear...... Can you tell us more about what Anjali did to your sister? " Suhani asked and the girl not more than twenty years old nodded with tears in her eyes.

"My sister was married to Shyam for six years, they married young and he was the perfect son in law even though he lived with us...... A few days to their seventh anniversary, our parents died in a car accident and that was when we found out my father made a bad business decision and lost all our money and the accident was rather a suicide to cover the shame that will be bestowed on them so they killed themselves....... Shyam immediately started abusing my sister and one day a colleague of his told us to me him at a hotel on the outskirts of Delhi....... It was there that we caught him and Anjali kissing and my sister yelled at them and she didn't seem surprised and that's made us realise she knew about my sister...... She right there offered my sister money to divorce Shyam and abort the child she was carrying but my sister slapped her and Shyam pushed her to the floor to defend Anjali." The girl cried out and Suhani gave her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "My sister started bleeding and unfortunately she lost her baby..... The shock of losing the baby and the betrayal of Shyam made her jump from the terrace of the hospital and she died that very day...... I was only sixteen years old and in high school by then so I couldn't fight against them...... I was able to perform the last rites of my little nephew and my sister and left town after they both threatened to kill me...... I come back here because of a job opportunity and she found me here and started threatening me to leave again. "

Suhani and Khushi were shocked by this but Aman was unfazed since he has always known and seen how manipulative Anjali can be.

Anjali arrived afterwards and was lured into the warehouse and was recorded.

Aman then helped her escape the country to London where he found a good job for her until she is needed again.

Suhani wanted them to reveal everything to Arnav immediately but Aman stopped them and promised to do it his own way and both women knew it was better left to him.

Flashback ends.

Khushi stood in the kitchen as she prepared some vegetables for dinner.

Suhani showed up looking nervously at Khushi who looked at her confused.

"Khushi dear....... Go to your room. " Suhani said in a calm voice and Khushi looked confused but nodded and walked into her bedroom.

She stood shocked seeing the most unexpected person in her room.

It was none other than Arnav with red eyes, an indication he has been crying and Khushi wondered if Aman told him the truth.

"Is he here to judge or insult me. " Khushi wondered looking at Arnav who was looking at her in silence.

"I am so sorry Khushi. " Arnav cried out and Khushi was stunned hearing him apologize. "I am so sorry for everything I did to you and all the hurtful words I used to hurt you....... I can't trust anyone but you........ You are the only one I can trust now....... Please don't send me away. " Arnav cried begging and Khushi hugged him as both cried.

Suhani was watching them with tears in her eyes.

She knew her son has found a way to make Arnav know the truth.

And she knew that immediately she saw Arnav at the door not long ago.

Without saying a word, she lead him to Khushi's room and made him wait there.

To be continued.
