NK and Lavanya looked up to see Khushi entering the suite. Looking behind her, their eyes became wide as saucer, standing before them was a look alike Arnav Singh Raizada but in real he is not even near to the ASR they knew.

Khushi 'come Arnav ji'

Arnav looked at the other occupant, they are shocked to see him and him too, he never thought he will see them especially Lavanya with NK.

Khushi 'Arnav ji!!!!' she caught hold of his hands and led him in.

NK 'Khushi ji what is all this?'

Khushi 'What?'

Lavanya 'Khushi what is he doing here?'

Khushi 'he is my husband and he is going to live here with me'

NK 'that cannot happen. He is not going to live here' Lavanya nodded her head.

Khushi flared her nose 'I don't care what you think, he is going to stay with me and if you both have problem then I'm going to shift with Arnav ji to another room'

NK was going to say something when Lavanya stopped him; he sighed heavily before throwing a disgusting look at Arnav and disappeared into his room with Lavanya following behind him.

Arnav gulped the pain he felt at such treatment from NK and Lavanya who once had respected him or at least pretended to do in front of him.

Khushi caught his hand and dragged him to her room. Arnav pulled his hand away 'why are you doing all this going against the people who are close to you?'

Khushi looked him in the eye 'they are not so much important than my husband. Now get some sleep. Doctor said you should rest well.'

Arnav 'I'm not a child, I can take care of myself'

Khushi 'yes, you very well can which I got the proof today. Either you are going to rest or I'm going to make you' He closed his eyes in dejection. She held his hand and made him lie on the bed. Khushi 'now sleep and don't think about anything else'

Khushi caressed his hair as he slept, it is due to the medicine doctor has given him that he is sleeping well, if not only Devi Maya knows he would have made a fuss. Looking at his sleeping figure in determined eyes 'Arnav Singh Raizada your tantrums and I'm the God of my destiny attitude is not going to work. I've got to see where your writing your own destiny had led us into.'

Muttering to herself in a whisper she wiped the lone tear slipping from her eyes rolling down her cheek. She bends down and kissed his forehead.

Khushi 'I Love You Arnav ji, a Lot'

She got up and marched outside towards the kitchen. Opening the fridge she took out few vegetables and other ingredients from shelf. Lavanya came out of the room, seeing Khushi preparing something came to her. Lavanya 'what are you doing?'

Khushi 'I'm preparing for dinner'

Lavanya 'Why? We can order it from outside'

Khushi 'I don't want any oily food for Arnav ji. I'm preparing myself'

Lavanya kept quite. Khushi 'do you need something?'

Lavanya 'huh? Ah yes water'

Khushi nodded her head without looking at her, she is angry at Lavanya and NK for their harsh behavior with Arnav. Lavanya took a bottle of water from fridge and went inside her room. It is a suite containing three rooms, common living room, and kitchen.

Later that night, Khushi took out the things she has taken from Arnav's one room he was living. There is a box, she opened it to see her torn duppata, the pearl he had broke from her dori on their first meeting, her payal which went missing again, her broken bangles, her photo from AR photoshoot, their pre rituals photo together. She sobbed seeing him safe guarding her things as a precious possession.

Khushi then took the dairy........

'She is Khushi, My Love!!!!'

She started reading the dairy; one after the other pages gave her heart ache unknown to her. She raised her eyes towards the man who lay sleeping peacefully as if worn out after a battle.

Lavanya hugged NK 'calm down NK everything will be alright'

NK 'how can it be? Why can't she understand it? He will hurt her; he knows only to hurt others'

Lavanya 'we know but she needs to understand this, we will make her understand this. Our family is with us'

NK 'No!!! I don't want them to know about him, they will be worried for Khushi ji. We will take care of it. I can't understand one thing how can she love him so much not even remembering an ounce of hurt he had inflicted upon her'

Lavanya 'that is because she has fallen in love with him truly and madly'

NK 'you are right. She is the same girl who took poison just because she does not want any man in her life'

Lavanya 'Do you feel bad that she rejected you? Did you love her?'

NK looked at her 'Love? No!!! But yes I liked her as a friend and when our family asked me to marry her I agreed.'

Lavanya looked out of the window, NK cupped her face 'Don't worry Lavanya she is a good friend and as a friend I don't want to get her hurt which is even true for you. You too don't want her to get hurt, don't you?'

Lavanya 'yes!!!'

Arnav woke up feeling light after one year, he felt content and peace. Musing over the drastic change suddenly, he looked around him only for him to remember the last day's happenings. His eyes wide open now realized he is not in his one room rather with Khushi in a five star hotel in her room. He made an attempt to get up only to realize that he is held captive. He looked down to see Khushi is sleeping with her one hand around his neck and one leg around his waist. What the!!! He started struggling for breath not because shortage of air but due to her nearness. This is hell torture.

His eyes rose to her face, his breathe hitched, eyes filling, he had dreamt of her beside him daily but today she is really here. Seeing her sleeping with her pout like always he chuckled, she hugged him tightly burying her face in the crook of his neck. Automatically his hands hugged her back, enclosing her in his arms. A few moment of bliss he will get why to shun it away. He kissed her forehead and kept his chin above her head, with her head above the place where the heart is beating inside him.

Khushi smiled slowly inhaling his murky scent, glad of him enclosing her in his arms securely, tears threatening to come out of her closed eyes but she stubbornly kept them in bay not wanting him to alert she is awake. Oh Arnav ji!!!!

Delhi,

Garima, Buaji, Nani and Anjali entered the temple of Devi Maya. They prayed to god to keep their family happy and safe.

Pandit ji looked at the four and smiled giving them Prasad. Garima 'Pandit ji we gave you Khushi's kundali'

Pandit 'Everything is fine. Nothing to worry for, all her miseries will soon end and she will be happy. Be assured, Devi Maya is with her.' he told them remembering fondly the girl who always comes to this temple asking for only one thing her love. He knew her, Khushi!!!. She is a good girl with kind beautiful heart. And he is well aware something is eating that child but now everything is going to be alright, she will get her share of happiness and it is already on her way or maybe she has already got her happiness.
