I Love You

Khushi had been pacing up and down ever since she found that Arnav Ji was missing. He never got on that flight to London.  There was strange sense of worry, what if something has happened to him, could Shyam be behind this all? How was she ever going to deal with this. Everyone in the house seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere and here Shyam kept bugging her about those papers. How could she deal with all of this? On top of this...Arnav Ji believes that it was all her fault, she needed to tell him the truth, she needed to prove her innocence that she wasn't at fault.

Just then her mobile rang, bringing her out of these thoughts. It was HIS phone, meaning that he was ok. Her heart began to flutter in anticipation that her one and only love was okay. She picked up the phone almost too quickly.

Khushi: Hello...Arnav ji...aap theek tho hain na? Arnav Ji...hello...Arnav Ji...
Arnav: Khushi...(he said in a hoarse voice)

Khushi was alarmed listening to his voice.

Khushi: Arnav Ji...aap kaha ho? Why did you leave me?
Arnav: Khushi...mujhe baat karne do...(khushi turned silent, waiting to hear what he had to say) I shouldn't have gone...I should have listened to you Khushi...I never wanted to leave you and go but I was confused at everything that was happening. My brain was telling me something where as my heart was all the time saying that you were innocent. I am sorry Khushi, for everything.
Khushi: Arnav Ji...aap...
Arnav: Please...Khushi...let me talk...I am sorry for forcefully marrying you and threatening you about your sister...I am sorry for making your life a living hell...I am sorry for making you sleep outside on the cold and I am sorry for behaving with you in such a bad way. I am sorry for always  shouting at you...
Khushi: Arnav Ji...what are you saying...it wasn't your fault...you were just protecting Anjali Ji, being a brother because you cared for her, haan main manthi hun ki jo bhi hua galat hua...par aap tho sirf aur sirf Anjali Ji ke liye kar rahe the...
Arnav: No Khushi...I was wrong and I know that now...I was blinded by the love i had for my sister and just believed Shyam, that was my biggest mistake Khushi...I had always need somewhere deep that you were not at fault but at that time all the evidence was pointing against you...A night before the wedding I had come to talk to you...to tell you something, and at that time I saw you with Shyam, I saw you telling him that he should leave anjali if he loves you, I had recieved a shock at that point and couldn't believe it, so I married you to protect my sister, knowing that if you were my wife, then Shyam would have never get to you...but I was wrong...
Khushi: Arnav Ji I understand, and I forgive you...I know that it was not easy for you to believe me but please just come back...
Arnav: You know Khushi...you were wrong about one thing...I know I married you to protect my Di...but I also married you for another reason...
Khushi: What? (Khushi had tears in her eyes listening to him pour out his heart to her)
Arnav: I love you Mrs. Raizada (Khushi closed her eyes in bliss, she had been waiting to hear that for too long)
I might not have chance to say that to you again...I will always love you with my heart...wherever you are just smile...your smile is the most beautiful about you...is shows your innocence and your love. Also please try and move on with your life...for me...
Khushi: Arnav Ji...where are you? Where are you going?
Arnav: I don't have time Khushi...just listen to me...Please look after yourself and move on with your life...! I have only some time left, then I will be gone forever...it looks like I am being punished for the sin I committed by ruining your life. I Love you khushi kumari gupta singh raizada...I love you...(arnav had tears in his eyes knowing that it was time)
Khushi: Arnav Ji...where are you please come back to me...everyone is waiting for you...
Arnav: I can't come back to you Khushi...but just know that I love you...
Khushi: I love you but please what is wrong why can't you come back? (Khushi was literally crying knowing that something was wrong)

It was then that Khushi had heard someone from the back calling out for him.

Unknown Person: Oyye...bahot ho gaya shaanee...chal we have fulfilled your death wish...now i am sure tu haske upar ja sakta hain...and then Shyam can leave peacefully with his love lady...

Khushi's heart shattered into a million peices listening to that news.

Khushi: Arnav Ji...where are you? I am coming...please jaldi batadijye humhe...hum abhi aa rahe...
Arnav: Khushi...I love you...

It was then that she heard a gun shot in the background and heard a gasp. She clutched her mangalsutra in shock, and fell onto her knees. He was gone. The Line was dead. The Innocence that she had once was now lost, lost somewhere deep, but all she knew now was that she was had to seek REVENGE...from Shyam Jha.
