"Yes Sir.  The work is done!"

"Good! Now vanish from here"

The truck driver put the phone down after listening the beep sound.

"Khushi Kumari Gupta's chapter is now closed forever." The person who was none other than Arnav Singh Raizada gave a wicked laugh which echoed in the hall in which he was standing.

"I would have let you go alive but knowing that you have that thing inside your stomach. Never. I would never had let you have something which you snatched from my Di."

After a Day

"Hello" murmured a drowsy Arnav.

"Hello, can I talk to Mr.Arnav Singh Raizada?"

"Yes. He is speaking."

"I am calling from City Hospital Mr.Raizada. It's about your wife Khu.."

*Beep*Beep*

"To hell with that girl" he gritted cutting the call before listening to the person on the other end.

If only he had listened to the whole talk of the person that was actually the receptionist of the City hospital.

If only!

He dialed a number on his BB furiously.

"Aman how the hell that receptionist came to know that I am her husband dammit?" he barked as soon as the call connected.

His frustration and anger fueled when he remembered the last night incidents.

He wasn't been able to sleep a wink and a feeling of restlessness was always there not letting him live in peace.It was after taking a couple of pills that he actually slept a disturbing sleep in the wee hours of the morning.

He threw the cell phone on the side table grunting and pushing the covers aside he stood up and walked to his Di's room whom he brought back in RM a day ago after throwing that girl out.

Flashback:

Khushi Kumari Gupta, the renowned name of the law college of Lucknow. She was bubbly, chirpy and a hardworking student of the college.

She lived life to the fullest and her life literally were her jiji, Amma, babuji and her sweet Buaji.

Her smile was infectious as wherever she went she spread happiness true to her name.

She was the student of 2nd year LLB.

Shyam Manohar Jha, final year student of LLB always had a crush on his junior Khushi Kumari Gupta but he wasn't been able to approach her because he was afraid of her rejection as she wasn't the type of girl who would like the idea of dating a guy.She was unique and he knew that very well.

Though they talked sometimes but it was just because of studies as he was senior so she would ask his suggestions regarding what was important for exams point of view and all.

It was when his university was about to finish that he realized how much she meant to him.

Only the thought of not seeing her everyday made him agitated.So he decided to at least try to tell her his feelings.Whatever she will decide, he will honor her decision.

Shocked, heartbroken and hurt he was after telling her his feelings.

It wasn't that she shouted at him or slapped him, he would have been happy if she had done that but she was calm and composed after his confession.

She had refused him politely saying that she never thought of him like that.

After that he bid her a goodbye and turned around and left accepting that maybe she wasn't meant for him..

Their university finished and they went on their own ways to make their careers.

But Mr.Shyam Manohar Jha's love never faded. Not until he met Anjali Singh Raizada.

After 2 years they met at a court hearing in Lucknow.But the difference was that Shyam Jha was married to Anjali Raizada..

Talking and catching up of the past two years they reached the temple.

"Nice meeting you again Shyamji. Now I have to go as pooja is about to start." said Khushi enthusiastically.Both were standing close to temple stairs.

"Oh Ok! By the way Khushiji, forgot to tell you something" when she arched her brow curiously he smiled and said "I am married now!"

"Sachi!!" Khushi clapped excitedly and hugged him smiling at him.

Shyam hugged her back smiling as well.

"Congrats Shyam. I am so happy for you" she said relieved as she was happy he moved on.

"Thank you Khushi" he replied back still in her embrace.

Thats how Arnav and Anjali found them.

Shyam Manohar Jha embracing a girl who was hugging him back smiling at him.

Arnav was the first one to recover from shock and when he did he first turned to his Di, his first concern and what he saw stumped him.

His di's face was an expression of misery and her cheeks were wet due to tears..

His hands clenched and he took one step forward to grap that shyam's neck and strangle him to death for doing this to his Di, for putting her through this..

But it was Anjali's grip on his hand which stopped him from moving.

He glanced at her and nodded his head in negative when she asked him to leave through her eyes.

"I said leave Chote.Its between me and him!" said anjali sternly.

Not having any other choice he nodded with moist eyes,hugged her, turned and left but not before asking her to call him as soon as she talked with Shyam..

As Anjali saw Arnav left, she wiped her face and limped to where her husband was standing with that girl now chatting with her.

"Shyam ji" Anjali called coming just behind him.

A startled Shyam turned around to see his wife standing before him.

"Rani Sahiba" he asked shocked.Then he smiled a loving smile and engulfed her in a bear hug "What a pleasant surprise"

Khushi who was standing just next to them understood who the girl was and smiled...

A now relieved anjali pulled back from the hug and asked about the girl who she was?

Draping a hand around anjali shoulder shyam replied.

"Rani Sahiba, she is Khushi.Khushi Kumari Gupta.We studied together in law college, she was junior to me.It feels so great to meet old friends.Right Rani Sahiba?!"

Anjali felt like a huge burden was lifted from her shoulders when shyam called Khushi his friend, friend only..

Now a smiling anjali replied back "Yes shyamji it did feel great.Hello I am Anjali, his wife" she extended her hand towards Khushi who instead of shaking her hand, hugged her.

"Its feels so good i met you.Shyamji is very lucky to have a beautiful and innocent wife like you" Khushi said and with that she won the heart of Anjali Jha in a spur of a moment.

Now back to her usual self anjali invited Khushi to the dinner which she politely refused saying she need to prepare for another hearing tomorrow so she shall be busy.

"Some other time maybe." Khushi said with a smile.

"Of course. You must come visit us whenever you could."

In that conversation subtly Anjali mentionedhaving a younger brother whom she called Chote lovingly.

Shyam was in dilemma, he was pondering again and again whether to tellanjali about his past or not?

How would she react?

Would she be able to understand him?

But now walking back to his home at lucknow,he knew he had to tell her tocome clear with her..

Whatever his past was, she was now his present and future..

With that he turned to anjali and asked her to come with him to a nearbypark where he want to talk about something.

"...Rani Sahiba i was scared to tell you about my past when you askedme an year ago to marry you.I..I don't know when you became my only centre ofattention.I know it was my mistake.Please forgive me.I swear now i consider heronly as my friend.I admit that i was in love with her till i met you..But nowshe is my past.Believe me..Say something Rani Sahiba.." asked a visiblyshaken Shyam holding a shocked anjali hand.

"Shyamji please leave me alone for sometime.Please" anjali saidlooking at him with blank eyes.

He was about to protest but she cut in "Please i need sometime todigest all this.I will be back home when i will be fine"

A dejected shyam nodded"Take your time.But please be fine."

Kissing her forehead he left.

Arnav was in his office feeling restless.He was having a nagging feelingthat something big was gonna happen tonight.

He don't know how he managed to not run and barge in shyam's apartment?Maybe because his Di asked him to stay out of all this, so he just did so.

But for heaven's sake its night now. How much more time his Di need to call himand tell what happened between her and Shyam?

He was about to call when his phone rang showing the caller ID 'Di'

"Di are you okay?" he asked concerned as soon as hit the answerbutton.

All he got as an answer was muffled sounds of sobs.

"Di please say something" he pleaded, not being able to hear hercries.

"Di where are you? Please tell me, i will be there as soon aspossible.DI!! ANSWER ME!!" he shouted at the end when her cries grew moreloud.

"Di please" he cried out now on the verge of breaking down.

When finally she spoke, the earth beneath him slipped.

"Chote he...he..said he lov..loved her..." she sobbed out the wordsand cried some more.

"DIII!!!!" he shrieked when he heard a loud thud.

"Chote—h-hamara—bachcha." she whispered into phone and thendarkness engulfed her.

"Sorry Mr.Raizada, we couldn't save the baby" doctor revealedcoming out of the OT.

"No" he whispered and fell back on the chair, his face in hishands.

A hand on his shoulder broke his reverie.

"She is awake now.You can meet her" he nodded grimly and went toher room to find a pale looking anjali staring at the ceiling.

"Di" he croaked swallowing.

Her blank eyes met his and he died a thousands deaths right there.

Covering the distance in long strides, he hugged his Di to himself takingextra care not to hurt her on injuries.

"Di, everything will be fine.You will be fine.We..we will be happyagain..Main sab theek kar doon ga.I wont let anything harm you Di..I..Promisedi..I..i promise" he managed to cry out the words as he buried his head inhis sister's neck hugging her close to his chest like a precious doll.His tearssoaking her neck.

"Chot.e my..b..baby" she rasped out against his chest.

He cried out more silently hugging her more tight.

"Wo nahi raha na(He is no more.Right?)" she asked looking up athim teary eyed.

He sniffed painfully and swallowed looking down at her.

"Bolo na Chote? Hum ne kho diya na usse?(Speak chote? I losthim,Right?)" she asked miserably.

He looked away.

"Its all my fault" she shouted pushing him away.

"Nahi di.." he rasped out stumped at her reaction.

"No! No! No! ITS ALL MY FAULT! I LOST MY CHILD BECAUSE OFMYSELF!" she exclaimed while Arnav managed to grap her hands which wasabout to grap the knife on the table besides the bed.

"NOW I SHOULD DIE TOO!!" she bellowed trying to come out of hisgrasp but he held on more fiercely.

"Di, calm down..Please Di calm down.It wasn't your fault, Please calmdown" he tried making her stop struggling against him but she grew moreberserk.

Finally when she didn't had any strength to fight more she fell on his chestand sobbed out loud.

"HAMARA BACCHA CHOTE. YE NAHI HO SAKTA.HAMEIN APNA BACCCHA WAPISCHAHIYE(My child! It can't happen. I want my baby back!)" she cried out as arnav held on to her to himself closing his eyesat her every cry.His own face was drenched with tears.

After an hour of continuous crying she went limp in his arms.

"She went into coma Mr.Raizada.She can feel she can hear vaguely but cannotmove.Its due to shock and recently she had a critical accidental injuries to make it worse and her condition is more severe now.When she will wake up,we can't tell.Be with her and don't create any disturbance where she will bekept.If you can handle, you can take her home.But its strongly recommended thather treatment should be given in well equipped hospital like ours."

"I will take her home and all your equipments should be transferredthere as well as soon as possible." he ordered sternly to which the doctor nodded.

Coming out of the doctor's cabin he came face to face with Shyam ManoharJha.

Before he could react, a punch hit squarely on Jha's face due to which hefell against the opposite wall.

"Sale Sahab"

"Don't you dare Sale Sahab me.Samjhe!" he gritted gripping hiscollar.

"Who was she?"

"Who?" shyam asked startled.

Pressing his neck Arnav bellowed "The girl whom you were hugging in themandir"

"Khu.shi..Kum.ari..Gu.pta" shyam rasped out breathlessly as arnavpressed his neck some more.

"KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA" he gritted out her name as his blood boiled.

How much he hate that girl and now as she had made his Di's life miserablein just one day, he would make her go through the same and even more worse.

"Just wait and watch how I will make you pay Khushi Kumari Gupta"said the devil as his eyes were covered with blinds of hatred and disgust.His Di's cries and sobs filling up in his ears making his determination morestrong.

Shyam who heard him whispered weakly as Arnav still had his hand pressedagainst his neck.

"She is not at fault...She...is inno..." he couldn't complete ashe went unconscious and fell to the ground due to lack of oxygen.

"Aman tomorrow first thing in the morning, I want all the details ofKhushi Kumari Gupta on my desk. Tomorrow!" he ordered and cut the call.

His only goal was to punish and destroy certain Khushi Kumari Gupta along with this bastard Shyam.

The next day as he opened the envelope of that girls' name.The first thinghe saw was her smile and it unsettled him.

"Very soon sweetheart your this smile will turn into your sadness.Iwill make your life hell that you wont be left with any reason to smile.."he smirked and taking his coat he went to his first planned meeting withKhushi Kumari Gupta.

Flashback Ends.

PRECAP:

"Chote I am so sorry. I didn't know how to take the news of his first love. It's just that i was so shocked to think rationally and my stupidity ruined it all. I..I..am sorry." she sobbed and when she looked up at him his condition terrified her.

His eyes were red without any tears and he was shivering badly. His whole body was in shivers and he was sweating profusely.

"OH MY GOD! Chote are you okay?"

His next words had her numb.

"Di I killed her!" He croaked. Standing up he ran out with his breathing coming out in spurts.
