Dil keh raha hai usse musalsal kar bhi ao...

"Look Mr.Raizada.."

"NO YOU LOOK KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA!!!" he pointed his finger at her.He used his ASR way to get through her because other ways won't work he now knew.

"If you don't want your parents to face humiliations because of you then agree right away otherwise I'll make you my mistress right here if not PA."

Her head shot to him in horror as she registered the implications behind his words.

"W-What?"

"You heard me" He glared at her.

"I...I'll scr--eam" She whispered frightened seeing the menacing emotion erupting out of his eyes.

He looked the same ASR who has hurt her time and time again and she was sure he would act on his words if she didn't listen. She shivered in fear and apprehension.

He laughed evilly.

"You're funny Khushi. No one would be able to hear you in this silent night.Can't you see there is silence everywhere?"

"Some...one will see...and...will s-save me...from..you." She stammered as helpless tears formed in her eyes when he laughed again at her blabbers.A mirthless laugh.

"No one can see or hear you from inside this car Khushi. The car is sound proof and besides these mirrors only show us the outside world. No one can see through it from outside."

She panicked as he finished.Tears after tears rolled down her cheeks making him look away.

Please Khushi agree...agree please. I don't have it in me to hurt you anymore which i already have. Agree to it, agree to it.. Please...he pleaded in his heart to her clenching his hands into fists.

But she was Khushi Kumari Gupta.

When has she made it easy for him?

Never!

"Lets see how much more low could you steep? If you want then do it... Destroy me at once because i don't have it in me to get broken by you piece by piece" she gritted out in a strong voice even though her tears flowed unchecked making his heart clench and unclench painfully.

"Khushi.."

"No Mr.Raizada!" She cut him "Do whatever you want but i won't listen to any of your threats from now on. I won't let you control me and my decisions anymore." She croaked in a teary yet strong voice.

He swore under his breath at her stubbornness.

Sorry Khushi for what i am going to do now.

You didn't leave me any other choice.

Fine then!

"If that's what you want then okay. Now don't blame me for what is going to happen to you."

She looked at him scared as he caught her hand in his and jerked her up onto his lap making her gasp in shock.She turned numb with shock as he placed his lips on her throat arching her neck by pulling at her hairs softly.

She shouldn't have come here.She shouldn't have.Her mind screamed.

But she was still in illusion that he cannot hurt her anymore which he already had but she was wrong, he has much much more power to devastate her like he was doing right now by forcibly encasing her in his lap in the closed space of car and was sucking her throat as if some delicious juice was stuck on it.

His threat of him forcibly making her, his mistress reverberated in her head making her shiver in fear because she can't ever think of doing this without marriage and degrading her parents teachings like this.It was against her morals.She was horrified as he ran his thumb across her throat and stopped at her cleavage when she shrieked.

"STOP! STOP! PLEASE STOP!!" She shrieked bursting out crying.

He was waiting for this only. He stopped at once because he wouldn't have gotten overboard even if she hadn't screamed.He just wanted to scare her to which he knew he succeeded.

Great huh Raizada. Great start of making her yours by scaring her! Good job man.. You're a master in wooing your girl. Salute you man!

Sorry sweetheart. But its just the last time i am hurting you i promise. I will win you back soon...very soon. Right now sorry for making you cry like this.

He swallowed as she sobbed covering her face with her hands mumbling.

"I'll do the job as your PA. Please don't do this. I won't be able to look myself in the eye ever if anyone pointed their finger at my parents because of me. I will never be able to forgive myself if my family got hurt because of me." She was still sitting on his lap and he was looking at her painfully as she cried her heart out because she has been made helpless by him that she didn't has any other choice but to agree to his commands.

He took an envelop from the dashboard and placed it in her hands removing them from her face.

"This is yours and Payal's appointment letter. You will join from day after tomorrow. You have one day to convince Payal too for this job." He tried to say as confidently as he could but failed as her swollen eyes and tears were making him want to hug and kiss her which he knew he can't do...atleast not right now when she was scared of him and was terrified of his intentions too.

Bravo ASR!

Add this incident too into the pile of things you did to hurt her

Mistress? Like seriously?

He has made this image before her about being mean and manipulative and now he will change it. He promised himself now that she has agreed to work with him, he would've plenty of time to woo her back and make her his.

Yeah good luck with that!

A voice sneered inside him making his insides clench with fear.

He hoped he hadn't lost the chance with her by doing this?

Has he?

As soon as he placed her back on the passenger seat, she curled closer to the window sniffling.

The drive back to her home was torturous for him as he heard her muffled sobs throughout the way.

She rushed out as soon as he stopped the car outside her home before he could say something.

"Dammit!" He punched the steering wheel.

Khushi was so shaken from the events that transpired in the car she couldn't sleep the rest of the night after coming back home safe, untouched.

She shuddered thinking what he would've done if she hasn't agreed.

She knew he was capable of doing what he threatened her off.

The morning dawned and as Payal turned to her sister's side in sleep and opened her eyes lazily, her glance fell on Khushi her younger sister who was wide awake staring up at the ceiling.

"What are you thinking Khushi?" Payal asked cautiously as she has noticed the faint dark circles under her eyes.

There was still time for them to leave for their job.Usually Payal has to hit her sister on head and shook her many times to get her up but today not only was she up, she has taken a shower as well this early, she noticed seeing her wet tresses over the pillow.

Khushi was jerked out of her thoughts at her voice.

"N-Nothing jiji."

"Some sankiness(craziness) has gotten into you? Why didn't you sleep the whole night?"

Khushi's head shot to her sister in surprise.

How does she know?

"Come on little sister. I know you!" Payal answered her unsaid question getting up to lean on the headboard.

"Now tell me what is bothering you?"

"Jiji i told you already. Why don't you leave that job in the hotel?"

Payal sighed.

"Pagal hai tu(You are mad) I am happy with it as long as you are working there with me i need not to worry.So relax. I am your elder sister not you so don't try to be like one.Samjhi!(Got it?)" she lovingly reprimanded her.

Khushi sat up restlessly.She has to make her understand.

Otherwise she don't know what that Rakshas would do to spoil her family's reputation.

"Jiji..." She whined.

She then looked sheepishly at her.

Payal narrowed her eyes.

"What have you done now?"

"I..applied for a job for us both and look.." She pulled out the same envelope which Arnav gave her last night that contained their appointment letters. "..we both got the jobs."

Payal confusingly took the envelope from her.

"But how come they didn't take any interview? I mean.." Her eyes widened as she read the company's name.She had her answers without Khushi replying.

She presumed Akash has done this.

If only she knew!

"What is this nonsense Khushi?" Payal threw the papers on the floor.

"You applied in AR? And what is this? You will work as Arnav Singh Raizada's PA? No way! Did you get it?" Payal told sternly.

"Par jiji..(But jiji..)" Khushi fumbled trying to find words to explain it to her.

"Khushi i can't believe you agreed and applied for a job like this." Payal softened up as she remembered her sister's condition when they moved out of Delhi to Lucknow.

Only she knew what she has to do to make Khushi come out of the heartbreak bestowed upon by that arrogant ASR.She has made her share everything and Khushi had told her all while crying on her shoulder.

Her heart has turned so hateful towards that Raizada that when Akash approached her for marrying, she has straight away refused because she don't want to be related to that family whose son has shattered her sister to this extent that it took her months to make Khushi come out of it, come out of the nightmares she started having at night since their return.

Khushi closed her eyes in pain.If only she could share the reason with her sister.But she can't.She don't want her to turn more against Arnav otherwise the little bit chance of Payal jiji and Akash ji's being together will vanish in thin air.

"Jiji, try to understand. It will be professional and we do need money to fight the case of our sweet shop don't we?"

"Yeah i know but we are working in that hotel aren't we?"

"Jiji, Akash ji is upset since the time he found out about us working there." She tried again.

"Oh so he has done this pitying favor on us?" Payal seethed but her tearful eyes gave away the love she has for him.

"Jiji, why are you punishing him for the fault of his brother?" Khushi cupped her cheeks.

Payal removed her hands.

"We aren't talking about it Khushi." She said rubbing the moisture off.

"Jiji please? He loves you." Khushi pleaded catching her shoulders.

"I don't care."

"Don't lie."

"I am not."

"You are."

"Shut up Khushi!" Payal shouted putting an end to their argument as Khushi saw relentlessness in her jiji's eyes.

"In this way you will make me guilty of being the hurdle in your path of happiness jiji." Khushi cried out freezing Payal in her spot who was walking to the washroom.

"You are holding back because of me.Don't do this jiji. I will not be able to live with this guilt."

Payal turned to her and found her in tears.She immediately rushed to her to engulf her in her embrace.

"Pagli, it is nothing like that. I am very happy with you all. With my family, with you.He isn't that important that i let go of all of you to get a life with him.I would rather marry a man whose family will respect mine the same way i would respect them.Not like that ASR who doesn't know how to talk to a girl.Who lead girls on and then shatter them in his wake by putting false accusations on them.Who try to get close to one and marry the other." She said disgusted.

Khushi gulped feeling her throat constricted. Last night incident, his advancing and threats refreshed in her mind making her shudder.

But she has to make her jiji understand anyhow.Gathering her bearings she said,

"Jiji apart from him. All the other Raizadas are well mannered. You can't deny that."

"Yeah they are and they must be but it doesn't matter because Akash's mother would never accept me.That is one of the other reasons that i am against this relation.Now this discussion is off here!" She declared pulling back.

"But jiji, Akash ji will make her agree. She loves her son, she will want his happiness only."

"Khushi.." Payal reprimanded her in a warning tone getting up the bed wiping Khushi's tears.

"Okay don't marry him but agree to this job in AR.Please?" She made a puppy dog face.

"I would never. Now get up and get ready. We have to report into the hotel in time you know that otherwise manager will cut our salary."

"Jiji i am not going. I have agreed to work in AR. I will join from tomorrow as its written in this appointment letter." Khushi said casually despite her inhibitions falling back into the bed.

Payal looked at her incredulously.

"Will you work with the man who destroyed you emotionally? I can't believe Akash could offer a job like this to you and...me"

Khushi averted her eyes. If she told her that it was Arnav who did this then her jiji would dig up more and won't stop until she blurt it all out and then all hell will break loose.Not only on Akash but Arnav as well.

Everybody has seen a silent, shy Payal but she has seen the protectiveness her jiji has for her since their school days. There happened an incident which not only made her stunned but stupefied her parents as well.That was the time, she saw a possessive and protective sister of her for the first time and it has stayed like that ever since.

Swallowing, she choose her words wisely because right now Payal was in that mode when she wanted to save Khushi from everything that has had the chance to hurt her.

"Akash ji don't know anything about mine and Arnavji's past.He offered this job to help us because he loves you.He can't see you suffering.As far as that ASR is concerned, Jiji it will be professional.I don't care what we shared in the past.We need money and AR is offering a good salary." Her heart wept as she said this but she to be strong for her family, for her jiji.

"I won't let you." Payal warned.

"Khushi he can harm you again. Don't you remember how he broke you year ago?"

Khushi turned her back to her to hide the tears in her eyes.She hasn't forgotten and she don't think she would ever.

"Time heals everything jiji. I don't feel the hurt anymore." She lied.

"Time has healed you, doesn't mean he would be changed too. He can play with you again can't he?" Payal softened up and tried to make her understand kindly.

"If you are so much concerned jiji then join AR to keep an eye on me, on him to make sure he never hurt me will you?"

This silenced Payal because she knew if Khushi has made up her mind then she won't listen to any of the logic.

"Fine!" Payal said grudgingly but held her hand out to her when she tried to hug her.

"That doesn't mean i am happy with it.I am doing it for you.To keep an eye on ASR so that he don't hurt you again."

Khushi's eyes teared up some more seeing her protectiveness.

Despite Payal's protests she hugged her sister tightly thanking her over and over again making Payal mellow down in anger and hug her back kissing her cheek.

PRECAP:

"Akash Sir, this..." Payal bursted in the cabin only to halt in her tracks seeing the scene in front of her.

"Khushi?" She murmured concerned and then fumed seeing the way that ASR was holding her and the tears in her sister's eyes were her undoing.
