Chapter 3

Arnav made a few phone calls and called Payal to the hotel. Payal arrived in half an hour and was pacing down in worry for her sister. They were outside the room because they did not want to disturb khushi. Arnav filled Payal in with everything that happened, and Payal was so angry at Arnav finding out the truth of Khushi and His relationship.

Payal: What do you think of yourself haan? I can't believe you gave her so much pain...she was the Victim Arnav Ji...you have broken her...you have broken her...she loved you like no other person, she loved you from the beginning even though her anger towards you and when you guys got married, I thought both of you actually made up and everything was well. I didn't know that this was happening. I should have been there for her...I have been the worst sister to her, the worst sister...I failed as a Sister...but no-more...(she wiped her tears harshly)

She turned to Arnav with a fiery glint in her eyes and spoke like a ghost.

Payal: You will not come close to my sister and soon as she get's better, you will file for a divorse. I can't see her in pain anymore. It is too much..

Arnav: Payal...

Payal: No...you will not change my decision. You have caused her enough pain and I don't want her to be in anymore.

Arnav: Payal..I love her

Payal: Love? You call this Love? SHE WAS ALMOST RAPED ARNAVJI TO BLOODY SAVE YOU...yet her husband didn't believe her all these months that she was married to him. You no longer deserve her. Just please do her a favour and stay away from her. I don't want to give any stress to her whatsoever and seeing the condition of hers, I think that she doesn't want to be near you anyway. I am taking her home.

Arnav: Payal Please don't tell anyone at home, they will get really worried...

Payal: Hmm...

Payal took Khushi home, carefully. Payal had taken Khushi home, when they arrived the family asked her lots of questions. Khushi saw everyone with a smile but the paleness could be seen on her face...

Anjali: khushi ji aap ko kya hua?
Khushi: kuch nahin di..(anjali didn't believe her so she turned to payal)
Anjali: Payal...khushi ji ko kya hua? Woh theek tho hain na?
Payal: haan woh actually behosh ho gayi thi...usne aaj breakfast main kuch khaya nahi tha na...
Mami: hello hi bye bye isiliye phatti sari ka face bahot pale lag raha hain...
Dadi: MANORMA (mami turns her face somewhere else) akash help payal take khushi to her room...
Akash: ji daadi...

With the help of akash, payal took khushi to her room, she looked pale as a ghost. She was like a statue, like nothing happened yet the pain being reflected on her face. Payal sat my khushi and rubbed her forehead, she soon went to sleep. Payal was soon about to go but was stopped by akash.

Akash: payal yeh kya hua khushi ko? Yeh react kyun nahi kar rahi? Why is she so pale?
Payal: akash ji aaj maine ek promise li hain..ki mian khushi ke halat ko kisiko nahi bataongi toh please aap mujhse mat poonchiye...
Akash: theek hain payal...tum sirf uss waqt batana jab tumhe mujhe batana ho...

Saying that akash left, payal had tears stinging in her eyes. Unknown to them, there was someone standing by the door, looking at them with tears in his eyes. Arnav had managed to sneak in the house. He didn't want anyone in the house asking questions about him and khushi. Soon as payal had left the room, arnav had stepped inside the room.

He saw khushi's pale face an sat next to her. It was quite evident that she wasn't scared of every male presence because she not reacted to Akash touching her but JUST him. His khushi was scared of him. Was this love? Where Life is full of sadness?

Arnav came and sat next down to Khushi. He touched her cheek gently and even in her sleep she could sense his presence as her innocent expression turned into a frown. He knew he was to blame for. He retreated his hand.

Arnav: I am sorry khushi...I will try and make everything alright.

He then left her room...their room.

It had been a week but Khushi was looking more paler than before. She was almost lost to another dimension and wished to never come back. The wierdest thing was that the family had tried to talk to her and engage her in making jalebi's, in other words trying to keep her busy then she is, so her mind diverts but it was to no avail, she had built strong walls around herself that no-one could get through.

Arnav had sent her red roses every morning addressed from himself, letting her know that he loves her. Nothing was working, she was was in her own little shell. He tried making jalebis himself for her, he tried to make her smile by telling her jokes. He made food for her from his own hands, but whenever he used to come infront of her, she would start to scream, shake and shout. So then he decided that it was best for some time if he stayed away from her, but even then he would sneak in her room to get a brief glance at her and watch her dream or have a nightmare.

Two months passed like this. Arnav was now a broken man. He hardly went to office, as there was no such response from Khushi for so long. It was any ordinary day, he was hiding from khushi, actually sneaking in his own room. She was wearing a saree. All the girls of the house had decided to treat her, today was her birthday and the girls wanted to take her shopping. Arnav watched them go but didn't want to leave khushi on her own. He got into his own car and got in and followed the girl's car but at a safe distance. They arrived at the best mall in delhi. They all went inside the mall excitedly trying to be excited for Khushi.

They all made Khushi try on loads of different sarees and salwar suits.

Anjali: Ohh hooo jayyiyee khushi ji..this is your birthday and the birthday girl should look good.

Khushi: Kya anjali hi..I have so many clothes...

Anjali: Honge..thode aur aa jayegne...ab jaaiyee...

Anjali pushed khushi in the closest changing room. Khushi defeated started changing into the beautiful saree. The blouse was held by one string. It was far too exposing for her liking. It was a very sexy saree indeed. She came out the changing room but no-one was there. She stood infront of the mirror and looked at herself. Ofcouse she was unaware of the fact that someone else was staring at her in awe, Arnav stood at some distance and was gazing at her bare back then he looked at her nervous expressions like she knew that he was there. She suddenly spotted him from the mirror. She became restless, her chest was heaving. She turned around and saw him staring at her. Instantly she felt nervous and scared that he will shout at her. Her emotions grew out of hand, as tears descended her cheeks.

Arnav: Khushi (he whispered)

Today was her birthday and he wanted to plan so much for her but seeing her state made his heart wench with pain. Khushi quickly ran out and he let her. He already did enough to trouble her and he didn't wanted to increase her troubles but that didn't mean that he wouldn't keep an eye for her. He might have lost her, but he still loves her like he used to. He still cares for her, everything about her.

After Khushi ran out, she felt relived a little to get out of those closed space. She felt suffocated being in the same room, even though somewhere in the corner of her heart, she loves him. She put on a fake smile for Anjali & Payal. She didn't want toruin their efforts of making her day more lively.

She kept them close enough, so HE wouldn't come near her.  After shopping they went to the SPA. It was very relaxing but Khushi still felt restless, like there was someone watching her. She cleared her thoughts and she thought it was time to go home. It was 6 o'clock in the evening and it was dusk outside.  Khushi somehow convinced Anjali & Payal that it was an emergency and she had to go home but they weren't ready to leave her.

Payal: Nahi we will go home together...

Anjali: Absolutely...

Khushi: Aree...baba...you have to do some more shopping na...! I will go home as I am slightly tired and I will send the car back for you too...plus Jiji this is the first time you don't have Jeeja Ji around you so enjoy yourself...and Anjali Ji you should really look things for the baby.

They didn't looked convinced but Khushi assured them and said that everything will be fine so they carried on staying, while Khushi took the car back to the mansion. Arnav followed her away in his car but keeping a gradual distance.

The car was moving but in a sudden move their were 6 bikes around Khushi's car full of Drunk youngsters, this caused the Driver to stop the car. The driver got out but soon got punched in his face, leaving him unconsious. Khushi got worried and clutched her saree even tighter. One of the boys pulled her out of the car, now she was surrounded by 6 boys looking at her full of lust.
