Rudra's POV

I smile at the sight of Saumya blushing. It's not every day you get to see her blush. Anyway, I carry her towards the car and then I drop her so she can sit.

Saumya (smiling) - Rudra... you are the best... so supportive...so nice...

Me (smirking) - I know I am...

Saumya (annoyed) - At least say thank you... stop being so full of yourself...

Arnav's POV

I look at myself while wearing yellow clothes. I would have never imagined me wearing this, I always wear pants. Then why am I wearing this... why am I changing for a stranger? As I am thinking all this, I hear the commotion downstairs and I rush down to see the media is questioning Khushi's parents.

Reporter - Sir, do you think that your daughter is really a gold digger?

Khushi's mum (angry) - Shut your mouth... I have been quiet for a long time but not now... who gave you the right to point at people's character? My daughter isn't a gold digger, she is marrying ASR for love, not for money... if you again call my daughter as characterless or a gold digger then ... I won't tell you... I will show you.

The reporter is about to reply back when I glare at them and that stupid reporter shuts up.

Me (annoyed) - You are here to film my haldi ritual not to annoy my soon going to be fiance... I will not tell you again, if I see you misbehaving with her or with her family then I will not only kick you out of here but I will also make you unemployed.

The reporter stares at me and then leaves while a crying di comes up to me.

Di (upset) - I want divorce choote... Rahul... he... he isn't the guy I married...

Me (consoling di) - Are you ok di? (angry) Did he hurt you?

Di (upset) - No, choote he didn't hurt me but he tried to slap Saumya and Khushiji... but Rudra came at the right time and kicked him.

I will not spare this Rahul, how dare he try to harm Khushi and Saumya? You wait and watch Rahul, you are about to be doomed.

Me (smirking) - I am glad all of you are all right... but where are Rudra and Saumya?

Khushi (worried) - Saumya wasn't feeling great so Rudra went with her to the clinic...

Me (worried) - I hope she is fine...

Om (smiling) - Oh she will be...

Om comes towards me and hugs her. ShivOm is like younger brothers to me. The bond that they share with Rudra is remarkable, they have been friends with Rudra ever since Rudra started school.

Shivay (smiling) - Arnav... it's so good to see you...and congratulations...

After Om leaves the hug, Shivay comes and hugs me.

Me (smiling) - Thank you...

Girl (smiling) - Khushi di... why don't we dance? You love dancing so much then, why not?

Di (smiling) - Why don't you girls dance? I am going to get Khushiji ready for the haldi ritual...

Khushi's POV

I nod at di and we both go inside to one of the rooms in the mansion.

Di (worried) - I have something to tell you...that Bhavya... she isn't good...

Khushi (shocked) - What are you saying di? I know Bhavya for a long time, she isn't a bad girl...trust me...

Di (upset) - Khushiji, a week ago... I saw her at a restaurant... I was there with one of my clients when I heard her bribing a waiter... I don't know why... but she was asking him to mix alcohol in two people's drink...

Me (shocked) - WHAT? Di... Bhavya isn't like that... she wouldn't dare to plot against her...

Di (upset) - I understand the reason you are not believing me... and I won't pressurise you to...(smiling) now Khushiji... I love your dress... however, for the ritual, you will have to wear something less heavy... I have got this dress... can you please wear that?

I smile and nod, di passes me the dress and leaves the room.

After 15 minutes

I look at myself in the mirror, and I am surprised to see how light this dress is. Doesn't di want me to wear something heavy like my previous dress? Why am I wearing a simple dress?

Di (knocking on the door) - Are you done, Khushiji?

I immediately open the door and di looks at me with awww.

Di (smiling) - You look so pretty...now, you must be thinking why am I making you wear such a simple dress? (I nod) well, it's because I believe in simplicity... I hope you don't mind...

Me (smiling) - Of course not di...

We both go downstairs but while coming down, I could feel a gaze at me... I look towards the gaze to see him... Mr ASR or Arnav...he has such a good name, why is he ruining it by calling himself as ASR... I will call him Arnavji after marriage. Wait, what am I thinking? I am marrying the guy that caused me so many problems. I will not spare him after marriage... you watch Mr ASR... this Khushi Kumari Gupta will make your life hell just like you made mine. I ignore his gaze, and I go towards Bhavya, Gauri and Anika.

Gauri (upset) - you missed out on our dance performance...

Me (smiling) - Sorry Gauri...

Om (smirking) - Bhabhi, don't be so upset... she can't dance... you are so lucky that you didn't see the dance that she did, because if you did then you would faint...

Gauri (smirking) - Because that's how amazing I was di... and Mr arrogant you didn't dance well either... you know di, Anika made the dance into a couple dance... and she danced with Shivay... while I had to dance with him... (disgusting face) I had to touch him...

Omkara (annoyed) - I had to touch you as well... so shut up... you are dirtier then me...

I watch their cute nok joke while laughing at some of the ridiculous comments until Rudra and Saumya come in. By her face, I could see that she was upset and Rudra was holding her and trying to console her.

Me (worried) - Saumya... are you ok?

Saumya (upset) - Di, jiju... we need to talk to you ... in private...

Saumya drags me towards one of the spare rooms, while Rudra drags ASR to that room.

ASR (shocked) - What's the emergency?

Rudra (looking at Saumya) - You will say it...

Saumya (annoyed) - No... you...

Me (worried) - Just tell us...

Rudra (worried) - Saumyaispregnant...

ASR (confused) - Talk slowly and in a way I... (looks at me)... we can understand...

Saumya (worried) - Di... I am pregnant...

WHAT? I immediately stare at Saumya with a shocked expression. How can she? Without thinking straight, I slap her. I feel as if I feel betrayed... I gave her so much love... so much support.. And at the end... she...she ruined our family name... how can she? I still love Saumya but...

Rudra (upset) - With my child...

As soon as Rudra says that, Arnav slaps him. How could our siblings do that to us? Why?

Me (disgusted) - Why Saumya? Why did you do that? How could you do this? I thought ...

Saumya (crying) - Di..di.. I am sorry... di... it's just... (continuously cries)

Rudra (hugging Saumya) - It's not her fault di... bhaiya... it's just that ... we met up last week... and while talking...we asked for mocktails for our new relationship...however...the mocktails... turned into cocktails... this waiter gave us alcoholic drinks... because someone bribed them... he is refusing to tell us... however, we have proof that someone spiked our drinks... and di... After that... things got out of control... I ... we are really sorry... we didn't actually expect this to happen... no one did...

Precap - None
