Chapter 28 - Shyam did this.

Arnav drove as fast as possible, he crossed 3 traffic lights when they were red, he didn't care about the fines he was going to have to pay, he cared about his Di.
He was going to tell Khushi once he reached the hospital.

"Ms, where is room 302?" Arnav asked the receptionist in hurry, she told him the directions to the room
and asked one of the staff members to lead him the way.

---

Arnav reached Anjali's room and he begged the doctors to let him go in, but they were scanning her for any broken bones or any inner organ damage.

"Doctor, hows my sister?!"
"Shes still unconcious, we're trying our best to revive, her heart beat is becoming a bit stable, but her breathing pattern is a bit too fast, we're trying our best sir, you just have a seat and i'll inform you once i'm out."
"Ok doctor."

---

"Arnav ji?! Anjali ji?! Is she ok?!"
"Khushi, I don't know. I just really don't."

And for the first time, Khushi started to hear Arnav trying to hold back his tears.

"Arnav ji, I'm coming to the hospital right away!"
"Ok Khushi, thankyou...I love you."
"I love you too. See you Arnav ji."

Arnav still feeling uncomfortable was waiting for Khushi.
Khushi arrived, she looked worried and you could clearly see she was crying because her eye liner was wet and dripped half way down her pale cheeks. Arnav could never stand seeing Khushi cry, he just hated to see her cry.

"Arnav ji, Are you fine?" Khushi tried to sound strong, but Arnav knew she was weak.
"Khushi, I'm ok, stop crying, sit here." She sat next to him and broke down into his arms, she felt helpless, Di was like her sister, she couldn't bare to see her hurt, just like Arnav.

---

"Sir, shes ok, still a bit critical, but she has regained consciousness and is able to move her fingers.
she fractured her foot, but it'll be alright with in 6 weeks, I'll assign you these pain killers, make sure shes takes 1 each in the morning, after noon and night. As for now, you can go in and see her."

Arnav and Khushi switched looks to each other and were in peace that they could go meet Anjali.

Khushi entered first, as Arnav was about to step into the room, his phone rang.
It was Shyam.

"What?" Arnav asked fiercely.
"Woah Saleh Sahab, bit harsh don't you think?"
"No, Kya chayye tum ko?" [No, What do you want?]

"I just want to know, is rani saheba, ok?" Shyam asked sarcastically signalling to Arnav that was the cause of her accident.
"You know she had an accident, I didn't tell anyone at home, but Khushi. You did this didn't you?"
"Wow, well done, you've figured out so quickly!" Shyam clapped in amusement on Arnav's discovery.
"I won't let you get away with this Shyam Manohar Jha."
"Oh but I have Arnav. I already have." And he put the phone down.

Arnav was furious.

---

"Di, next time, ask me to pick you and never drive while on the phone, actually now you can't drive at all for the next 6 weeks, 7 for extra care."
"Chotte, i'm fin-"
"Di don't exert your self."
"I'm not thhoug-" Anjali started to cough. Arnav called the doctor immediately and took himself and Khushi out of the room so the doctors could make sure Anjali was healthy.

"Khushi. I need to tell you something. I know who caused Anjali's accident."
"Kaun?" [Who?]
"Shyam. Shyam did this."

Khushi couldn't believe this, she immediately started to cry.

"Khushi what happened?
"This is all my fault Arnav ji!" Khushi wanted to scream out but she couldn't because she felt weak.

"No it isn't, its ok, don't blame your self."
"But?"
"No buts. Its not your fault, calm down."

Khushi fell asleep in Arnavs lap at the hospital out side of Anjali's room, she was devasted to know Shyam did this, she knew his reason to cause Di's accident, it was herself.

Chapter 27 - Lets see how you survive, Anjali.

Days had passed since Arnav found out about Shyams true colours, but he didn't say a word to his Di.
It was all a crazy situation Arnav was stuck in, and for once, he didn't know how to handle it.
What was he going to tell his Di? That she must divorce this cheap bastard because he fell in love with her brothers wife? No, that would crush her and Khushi.

"Chotte! I need to go for my job interview, I'll be back soon!"
"Ok Di, good luck!"
Arnav was all excited about all of the rasams nearly being done, but was still worried about how he was going to disclose the Shyam topic in front of his Di.

---

-phone call;

"Khushi, erm, tell me something...Tum Shyam ke barrey mei kuch jhanti ho?"
[Do you know anything about Shyam?]

There was silence at the other end of the phone until Khushi let out a sigh and started to lie.

"Nahi Arnav ji, hum bas jhanteh hai ki woh app ke jijaji hai, aur humareh hone walleh hai, aur app hai pyaari se di ke pati hai."
[No Arnav, I just know that he's your bro in law, and my to-be in law, and your lovely sisters husband.]
"Ap yeh sawal kyun pooch ra hai hai?"
[Why are you asking me this though?]

"Oh nothing, just wondering, if he was ever engaged to you."

That sentence made Khushi gasp and Arnav knew that, that was the truth, Shyam was engaged to her before.
"Ok, I was engaged to him. But I cut it off when I found out he was married, I swear!"
Tears started to well up in Khushi's eyes and Arnav could hear her trying to hold back the gag.

"Its ok Khushi, I know, I know."
"I love you Arnav ji.."
Khushi unknowingly said that cause Arnav to smirk on the other side of the phone.

---

It had been 5 hours since Anjali was out of the house, everyone got Anxious and worried.
Arnav was pacing back and forth in his room trying to calm himself down because he knew that his Di was sensible, she'd be back very soon.

---

Shyam

-phone call;

"I'll give you how much ever you want, just make sure those logs are released on the road
with the silver car behind, if the car isn't behind you, speed up, and let the logs slip from the side to the drivers seat, make sure this happens, other wise the consequences will not be pleasant,
UNDERSTOOD?!"

"Yes sir. I will not let you down."

-end of phone call;

"Just 10 more minutes until Anjali, leaves her job interview and my plan is in action. Ab dekhte hai rani saheba, app kaisa hum ko aur khushi ji ku jhuda kar sakte hai. Now lets see how you survive, Anjali"
[Now i'll see how you separate me from Khushi.]

Shyam said Anjali's name in disgust and was happy that he was finally getting rid of her.

---

"Haan chotte, mai abhi job interview se nikli, i'm on the road, see you in 10 minutes!"
[Yes brother, I've just left the job interview.]

"This chotte even, always worrying." Anjali giggled softly and started the car.

Anjali was driving smoothly, until her eye caught onto a huge lorry which was carrying heavy logs.
She always got scared next to these kind of trucks, so she tried to get as far away as possilbe from it, but it kept following her, an uneasy feeling in her stomach started to develop and she felt something bad was going to happen.

She saw the drivers face, staring directly at her, she let down a gulp and tried to focus on the road.

5 minutes after she thought she got rid of the lorry, it came back, the driver was focusing on her face.

"Di where the hell are you?! you said 10 minutes! Its been 45 minutes!"
"Sorry Chotte, I just went to get a drink!"

As she was about to say bye, she saw the logs were let go, and they were rolling towards her car,
as one huge log hit the back of the car, Anjali let out a huge scream.

"Di!?! DI!? WHERE ARE YOU!?!"

Another log hit Anjali's car, in the middle causing Anjali to scream louder.

"DI!??! KAHAN HO!? WHERE ARE YOU DAMNIT!?"

2 more logs hit Anjali's car, the last one hit her window, shattering the glass on to her face causing her to scream and then faint. The car was completely damaged, her doors broken, her seat straight, and her body half hanging out of the car with her phone clutched in her hand with an Arnav screaming on the other end.

"DI ARE YOU OKAY?!"

The moment Arnav screamed that out, the phone vibrated in Anjali's hand hardly, and fell out because of the grip she lost due to weakness.

The phone went dead and everyone was shocked.

---

"Shit!" Arnav smashed his phone on the ground.
Everyone was very worried to see Arnav so paranoid.

"Arnav bitwa! What happened?!" Mamiji asked.
He didn't reply, he shot straight out of the door.

He called up Anjali's phone, but no answer, he tried several and several of times, but still no contact.
He gave it a last shot, and finally was in luck.

"Di are you okay?!?!" The other end of the phone was blank.

"HELLO!?!" He was feeling hopeless until he heard a man's voice.
"Hello? Sir? Are you this ladies husband?"

"No I'm her brother! Give her the phone, I need to talk to her." He was in hope that he could talk to Anjali, until the man said;

"I'm sorry sir, but your sister has met with an accident, and I'm taking her to the hospital as we speak, her condition looks very critical, you should come to the kings hospital as I am taking her there."

Arnav's mouth dropped, tears welling up in his eyes, but he didn't let tears get to him, he ran out to the garage, started his car, and went to the kings hospital.

Chapter 26 - Tough Decisions.

"Khushi ji! Why are you doing this?! Kyun?!"
Shyam repeatedly was talking to him self in the mirror as if he was getting ready to say a speech.

"You know I love you, but you're still deciding to get married to Arnav?!"
Shyam was just flaring words and words at the mirror.

Anjali walked in noticing how stressed Shyam looked so she told him to lie down a while and just rest.
He was sick of Anjali now, he loved Puja, but he didn't love his wife anymore,
all because of Khushi.

---

The day of the Rokha had finally come, but no one was sure on what to wear.
Khushi was adorned in an orange and red flowing saree which had many little diamonds studded onto it.

She forgot how it felt like to wear traditional clothes, because after those 2 years of her being away from Arnav,
she was always the jeans, skirts, dress, shirt type of girl, but now since shes back in RM,
she started to re-wear traditional clothes.

"Ugh, I really wonder how I stood in this heat 2 years ago that too with these anarkalis and everything." Khushi mumbled annoyed.

---

The Rokha was nearly done.
Arnav and Khushi had exchanged beautiful rings for each other,
while Shyam was just staring at them being all flirtacious towards each other.
It annoyed him seeing how quickly things were progressing.

"Saleh Sahab, app kya asakteh hai yahan?"
[Bro-in-law, can you come here?]
"Um, these files were left in my car and there yours I think, so would you like to take them up?"
"Ok jijaji."

Arnav stared at Khushi before he left, he signalled to her that he's going to be back soon.
This was the perfect opportunity for Shyam to take Khushi away.

---

"Khushi ji! Why are you doing this?! Kyun!?"
Shyam was trying his best to use his speech well.
"Because I love Arnav ji."

"You don't love me?"

"no! I despise you! You gave me and my family so much of pain, how can I love you?!
YOU HAVE A F*CKING DAUGHTER NOW AND YOU CAN STOOP LOW ENOUGH TO CHASE SOMEONE ELSE, WHO'S GETTING MARRIED?!
WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU SHYAM MANOHAR JHA?
YOU DISGUST ME. NOW LEAVE ME!"

Shyam twitched, he didn't like it when Khushi yelled at him like that.
He pulled her back the moment she let go of his grip.

"Eeeep!" Khushi shrieked in pain, she wanted Arnav to be there so badly at the moment.

"No Khushi ji. You're on my mind, we can share Puja, I can divorce Anjali for you! Anytime!
don't marry Arnav! DON'T PLEASE?!"

Arnav walked in right at that moment, he was about to shout jijaji when he found Khushi and him by the pool side.

---

"Choddiye hummey! I don't love you! I love Arnav ji!"
"NO KHUSHI JI YOU LOVE ME! I WAS YOUR FIANCEE FEW YEARS AGO, HOW CAN YOU FORGET!?"
"I CAN NEVER FORGET, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BY GETTING MARRIED TO ARNAV JI, MEH ARNAV JI SEH PYAAR KARTI HU! AB CHODDIYE!"

Khushi started to tear because of the pain, Arnav was hearing everything.

"Ok, app Shaadi karliye, agar main aisa hone dyunga to hi na?"
[Ok, you go marry, if I let this happen that is.]

"What do you want?!" Khushi asked hopelessly.

"I want you to cancel off this marriage with Arnav and get re-engaged to me, I don't care about Anjali, I care about you. I also care about Puja, but I can take her custody and live with you!"

"No, I will never leave Arnav ji, you can hurt me all you like. I'm not leaving him. I'm his, forever."

"Remember when you were mine once?"
"I was never yours because you were married to someone else, making you someone elses.
I'm Arnav ji's end of discussion, now go to hell and let me go!"

She got free of his grip and ran off into the function as fast as she could.

Arnav was fuming as he heard those words from Shyams mouth.
But he was also calm as he heard Khushi that she will never leave him.

---

Everyone was out side, Arnav was staring at Shyam like he was going to get killed by him.
Arnav eye's were filled red with anger thinking about how could his own brother in law, be engaged to someone else, with out his family knowing.

"I need to do something. Di will be hurt, but I just have to do something."
Luckily Arnav knew Khushi was innocent because of how he heard her say she loves him, but he still, somehow, had to get rid of Shyam.

"Jijaji, please come out with me for a second."
"Chotte, kahan jareh ho?" [Chotte, where are you going?]
"Di, I'm coming back, just need to do some thing."

---

"I know everything. Everything about your connection in the past with my now fiancee. I just want to know Shyam Manohar Jha, if you mend your ways you can stay in this house only concentrating on my Di and her daughter, and not my to-be wife,  If you don't, and you leave me no choice of making a tough desicion, I will make it, even if it hurts my Di. I will get rid of you, so don't even think about trying to do anything stupid, or else nothing will be good for you as long as I'm here."

Shyam twitched his eye, listening.

"I swear I will make it." Arnav grasped his collar and made him look up at him in shock.
"Don't you dare."

"HOW DARE YOU HOLD MY COLLAR?
IF YOU'RE THIS DARING TO HOLD YOUR JIJAJI'S COLLAR IN A RUDE WAY, I CAN DARE TOO."
"I can dare as much as I like, and I donot look at you as a jijaji anymore."
"You are a waste of jijaji. You are low. Some one this low in personality can never be my relative."

Arnav walked off leaving Shyam mumbling rude things about Arnav.

"I will get you Arnav, you cannot escape."
Shyam once again took a vow to get revenge.

Chapter 25 - You shouldn't have done that.

Shyam was still in pain after the stab he took from Khushi's heels. He vowed to himself to get back at her for doing that to him, the great Shyam Manohar Jha.

---

"Khushi ji! Toh app Arnav ke rishtey kab chodney walley hai?"
[Khushi! So when are you going leave your marriage proposal?] NK asked.

Everyone stared in shock, they knew Arnav had proposed to Khushi, but they didn't know Khushi might leave him until she corrected NK.

"Arrey Nanheji, chodney nahi jhodney, ap be na..."
[Oh ho, Nanhe, Not leave, connect, you also..] Khushi smiled faintly.

---

Arnav was up stairs in his room doing work when he saw Khushi's shadow.
Poor girl would always get pulled into a room by some one or the other

Arnav pulled Khushi which made her give out a small scream, when she saw the owner of the arm that pulled her, her eyes popped right out.

"Aap!?" [You?!]
"Haan, main..." [Yes, me..] Arnav replied in his husky voice which would melt Khushi's heart to nothing but love.

"Chodiye hummey, hum ko kam karna hai."
[Leave me, I have to do work]

Khushi said meaning she had to decide a dress for her shaagun which was going to be in a day.

"Hum ko Shagun ka kam karna hai, chodiye Arnav ji."
[I need to work for tomorrow, Leave me Arnav ji.]

"Do it later." Arnav was leaning in, Khushi could feel his hot breath against her neck, she started to start showing Arnav she was getting nervous.

"Arnav ji, please." Khushi looked at him hopefully and he let her go.
"Shukriya." [Thankyou.]

Before Khushi left there was a glass of water on the small file table, Arnav picked it up and splash it across her back, already ruining the new oceanic blue shirt.

---

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" Khushi was furious and took another glass and splashed it right at him.
"You shouldn't have done that Khushi Kumari Gupta, especially not when I'm in a playful mood."
Khushi was feeling nervous of what he was going to do next.

He walked to wards her and she was walking back, he kept doing that until he got close to her face, he leaned in and gave her a hard kiss on the mouth.

Khushi gave in and seconds later they were kissing passionately.
Shyam walked in on them and was horrified at the sight of his Khushi ji kissing his brother in law.

"*clearing throat* Saleh Sab, ap ko Rani Saheba bulari hai.."
[Brother in law your sisters asking for you.]
"Tell her I'm coming."

Arnav winked at Khushi and was about to leave when she said she'd go along with him too, he agreed and Khushi saw Shyam twitch and she walked out of the room exchanging a disgusted look with Shyam.

---

"Khushi ji, I was going to call you later to give you this saree, but i'll give it to you now since you're here." Anjali giggled lightly.

"Chotte, um please from your car can you get the 'gift' you baught for your fiancee?"
Khushi looked at Arnav stunned.

He looked at his Di like ; you had to ruin the surprise didn't you.

Anjali winked and distracted Khushi by talking to her about the saree.

"Finally, mera pyaara chotte ki shaadi hori hai!" And she cupped Khushi's right cheek telling her how lucky she is to get such a gorgeous sister in law plus a good wife for her little brother .

---

Shyam was looking at his wife and his ex fiancee conversating about his own brother in laws wedding, there was a pang of jealousy whenever he heard the fact that Arnav and Khushi are going to get married.

He had to get rid of his brother in law, he just had to.

Chapter 24 - Whats wrong?

Everyone was eating while Arnav was side staring at Khushi and Shyam was just looking straight at her.
She saw that Shyam was staring at her and started to feel uncomfortable.
"Uh, mei abhi atti hu.."
[Uh, I'll just come...]
"Khushi betiiya, khana khalo, phir chalejayega."
[Khushi darling, eat your food, then go.]

Khushi with out uttering a word listened to Naniji and sat back down, as she ate her food, Shyam purposely started to slowly hit her foot, her eyes became wide and she gasped and moved her chair back, everyone was wondering whats wrong.

---

"Uh, Kuch bi nahi, hum sochey ek cockroach tha..."
[Uh, oh nothing, I thought there was a cockroach on my foot.]
Slowly looking at Shyam to show which cockroach she was talking about, also with out saying caaackroach like she use to.
"It must've been some big ugly cockroach." And kicked Shyams foot with her heels which made him about to shriek in pain, but he swallowed the gag and continued eating with a slight twitch.

---

Khushi just came out of the shower, she saw a gift on the bed, she opened it and saw a beautiful ocean blue transparent formal shirt with a tanktop in side it along with a pair of mint blue jeans.

She wondered who they were from, maybe it was NK she thought, or it could've been who she thought it would've been, Arnav.

She stepped outside and walked by Shyams room which gave him the opportunity to pull her in, again.

"CHODIYE HUMMEY! app hamesha yeh kyun karte! Leave me!"
[Leave me! Why do you always do this!]
"Kya tha woh Khushiji? Hamara pare ko kyun mara apne?"
[What was that Khushi, why did you kick my foot?]
"Cause I was speaking about the cockroach, meaning you.] Khushi retorded back fiercely.
Shyam felt hurt and was about to pull Khushi closer when she took a perfume bottle from Anjali's dressing table and sprayed it in his eyes.

---

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Shyam screamed out, his eyes were burning.
"Kya hua?!" [Whats wrong?!] Anjali came in running seeing Khushi inside.
"Uh, woh, akh mei kuch chalagaya Rani saheba, aur humney Khushi ji ko daradiya aur andar akhey dekhliya ki hum ko kya hora tha...."
[Uh, something went into my eye, and Khushi ji got scared and ran into see what was wrong..]
"Arrey, itni si baath hai?"
[Oh god, thats it?]
"Yup..."

Khushi left the room with a sigh of relief, she was about to slip but someone caught her, her eyes were
tight shut, she was ready to hit the cold floor, but realized she didn't,
she opened her eyes to see Arnav staring directly at her.

---

Khushi was trying to stand up, but Arnav wouldn't let her.
"Do you remember your answer?"
"Haan..--an..Toh?" [Yeah-h, and?]
"Mera jawab nahi sonogi?"
[So won't you listen to mine?]
"Tell me..." Khushi whispered softly
"Yes.."

They both exchanged cute smiles, Nk came out of no where and started to crack up Khushi while Arnav just stood there looking at them like they were right idiots.

"She's so cute."

He smiled and walked away, passed Shyam with the smile on his face;

"Hello jijaji"

It made him twitch to see that his reason of happiness was Khushi.

Chapter 23 - You have to tell me.

Khushi still intoxicated leaped out of her bed and chased Arnav.
"Mr Raizada. Tell me your answer. I've told you mine."
"Khushi, get back in bed, you're very drunk and I bet you, you don't even know what you're saying."
"I do!" Khushi hiccuped. And Arnav smirked at her.
"Wait until you're done being a drunk, and I'll tell you." Arnav said a quickly walked off.

"This laad governer sure knows how to get under my skin at times." Khushi talked to her self and went back to bed.

---

Shyam

Why did Khushi have to come back, why. Shyam kept thinking to himself, he was now stuck between who to choose, Anjali and Puja, or Khushi.
Shyam was nervously pacing back and forth in his bedroom until,
Khushi passed by his room.
He quickly ran out, grabbed Khushi's hand and took her into his room and before anyone could see, he locked it.

"What are you doing?! Chodiye hummey abhi isi waqt!" [Leave me at once!]
"Kyun Khushi ji? App hi ne mujse kahaan, ki jab pyaar ho jata hai, woh ladki ya ladka ku nahi chodna, ya bulna, aur app, app ne khud ki baat ko paltadiye!"
[Why Khushi? You only told me, that when you fall in love, You shouldn't forget the girl/boy, and you, you have done the complete opposite!]

"Kyunki app shaadi shuda hai aadmi ho! App kisi ke papa ho! Ab chodiye!"
[Because you're a married man, you're a father to a daughter! Now leave me!]

Khushi was struggling to get rid of his grip, seeing Shyam was hurting Khushi, he let go of her, but blocked the door.

"Khushi ji, Kyun? Kyun app ne aisa kiya hum ko?"
[Why Khushi, Why did you do this to me?]
"Humne pehle sey app ko jawab batadiye, ab haatiye hamare raste sey."
[I already gave you an answer, now move out of my way.] Shyam wouldn't agree, so Khushi pushed Shyam and ran out of the door as quickly as she could.

---

Khushi was sitting on her bed with tears in her eyes, that too fat and crystal clear ones.
Arnav came in all happy, but that changed when he saw Khushi sulking.

"Khushi, kya hua?! What happened?!"
"Ku-ku-kuch nahi Arnav ji.." [Nothing Arnav ji...]
"Tell me Khushi. Now.."
"Nahi.."
"You have to tell me what happened."

Khushi wondered if she should reveal the fact that she use to be in a relationship with Shyam 3 years ago until she found out he was married.

"Woh Sh-Sh-"

"Chooottteeeeeeee!" Anjali called out to Arnav and Arnav immediately replied back telling her to wait, but she was in a hurry so she kept calling him. So he went, to get the best-est news of his Di's life and his, Anjali was pregnant again.

---

"Khushi! Di's pregnant! Isn't that great?!" Arnav went by Khushi's side to inform the news but she immediately felt sick and rushed to the toilet and puked.

"Khushi, are you ok?! You shouldn't have had the vodka in the morning!" He was saying as he was holding her hair so it could be out of the way as she let out her puke.

"I'm fine Arnav ji, I just need rest.."
Arnav nodded and left her room.

---

I can't tell anyone this secret. Khushi was talking to her self, i'm just going to have to keep a far distance away from Shyam she thought. So she slept and just felt uncomfortable.

Khushi woke up to see Anjali Di trying to slowly come into her room without waking her up.

"Arrey Di, app? Aye ander, bohoth Khushiya miley app ko app ke chotte se pari ko!"
[Di, its you, come in! May you have many happiness and your little angel!]
"Hahaha Danyeva Khushi ji! App lunch kileye arri hai?"
[Thankyou Khushi! Are you coming for lunch?]
"Ji, hum atteh hai, app jaye aur acha sa khaye"
[Yes, I'll come, you go and have food, and eat well!]
They both exchanged smiles and Anjali left the room.

---

Khushi went to join the table, Arnav and Shyam were already there, as Arnav saw Khushi, he pulled out the chair for her, so did Shyam, but Khushi preferred to sit next to Arnav, so she did and he gave her a side smirk.

Chapter 22 - Yes or no?

Khushi woke up 10 minutes after Arnav and Anjali had their conversation about her.
Where am I? Arnav ji?! Where is he?! Khushi shouted that the moment she woke up and Anjali and Arnav were staring at her like she had gone crazy.

"Uh..Um...Er...Namaste Di."
"Namaste Khushi ji, kaisi ho?" [How are you Khushi ji?]
"Ji hum theek hai.." [I'm fine thankyou..] Khushi replied with a faint smile.

Anjali realized Arnav was desperate to talk to Khushi, so she just gave Khushi her happy grins,
and looked at Arnav then at Khushi and said;
"Chalo, hum chalte hai, Koi kam hai" [Ok, I'll go now, I have some work] Anjali said hinting to Arnav as she left.

---

Khushi couldn't stare at Arnav right in the eyes so instead she kept looking away as they talked.

"Toh Khushi, batao..." [So Khushi tell me...]
"Kya bataey? Kuch baki nahi hai bataney kiliye..." [What should I say? Theres nothing left to say.]
"Haan hai." [Yes there is.] Arnav retorted back.
"Kya?!" [What?!] Khushi asked demandingly.
"Haan ya na?" [Yes or no?]

Khushi ignored the question and got up to go to the toilet so she can freshen up, she was about to open the door when Arnav pulled it back.
"Haan ya na?" Arnav stood firmly and asked with alot of patience.

"Humme janne diye? Yeh batimeezi hai." [Let me go, what you're doing is rude.]
"Maine abbi bateemize shuru be nahi kiya Khushi Kumari Gupta." [I haven't even started to do what I can Khushi KG.]

"So tell me, Haan. Ya Na?"
"I'll have to think about it, then only i'll tell you." And Khushi ran into the toilet leaving Arnav amused.

---

The next day Khushi woke up to find a still Arnav sitting on the recliner in her room watching her sleep.

Khushi got startled and nearly fell off her bed until Arnav ran towards her and caught her, remind both of
them about her falling down 2 years ago just like this.

"Be careful!"
"What can I do if you're staring at me sleep like a creeper?!"
"Ok sorry, I won't do that again."

So Khushi...Arnav tried to hint Khushi to whether she's going to say yes or no.

Khushi realized what he was trying to do and played along;
"Ji?" [Yes?]
"Tum haan ya na bolne walli ho?" [are you gonna give me an answer?]
"Yes I will, but after a bit of vodka."

Khushi took out a bottle from the cupboard and started to drink in front of Arnav, he told her to stop but he was drinking and pointed her index finger towards him signalling for him to wait.
"You do know I speak my heart out when I'm drunk right?"
Khushi was getting tipsy, Arnav stood close to her to make sure she had balance.

"Ok Ok i'll tell you..." Khushi pretended to be serious.
"HAHAHAHA NOOOOOO." Khushi said sarcastically.
"I'm joking! yesssssssssss yess yessssssssss!" Khushi was jumping up and down.

---

"Yeh ladki pagal hai." Arnav took Khushi off the floor because she got intoxicated and fell.
She startled him by waking up with a hiccup.

"SO WHATS YOUR ANSWER MR ARNAAAAV?" Khushi asked cutely.

"I'll tell you my answer when you're not drunk."
"NOO TELL ME NOW."

Arnav put Khushi in bed and replied;

"Later." Winked at her and left her room leaving her mouth hanging in an O shape.

Chapter 21 - Di, I love her.

Khushi looked up at Arnav blushing, Arnav loved it when she became shy.

"Khushi tell me that you're not joking."

"I'm not though." Khushi said innocently.

"You're joking, I can feel it." Arnav teased Khushi.

"No I am not!" Khushi got angry with Arnav's teasing, she just confessed that she loves him and now he wanted proof. How am I going to give the great Arnav Singh Raizada proof? Khushi thought and thought until seconds later she gave out a wide smile.

"You want me to prove that I love you right?" Khushi asked confidently. Arnav not knowing where Khushi was taking things replied a yes in a bit of curiosity.

---

Khushi hugged Arnav in a tight hug and kissed him on the cheek. He still wasn't sure.

"You're still joking." Arnav teased Khushi again making her even more furious. 

"Ok Khushi forget trying prove things, tell me something, would you accept the challenge if I asked you to?"

"Jii-ji-Haan, hum dartey nahi hai." [Ye-yes ofcourse, I'm not afraid.]

"Are you sure you'll be able to fulfill this challenge?"

"Ye-ye-s...." Khushi was now very anxious about what his challenge was going to be.

"I'm still giving you a cha-"

"GO ON! give me the challenge! I don't have all day you know!"

---

Arnav pulled out a medium sized red velvet covered boxed, the boxes you get at a Jewel store. He put it his hand and put it in front of Khushi's face. Khushi's eye's widened. She had all sorts of questions going through her head, what could be in side that box.

"Come on, since you've accepted my challenge, guess whats in side this box, You only have 3 guesses."

"Um...a watch...?" No.

"A payal..?" No, Khushi was depressed at the thought of thinking of another payal when she was wearing her own deceased mothers. But she carried on with the game.

"A ring...?" Khushi asked awkwardly, and also wondered when did a 'ring' come into the picture.

Arnav gave his signature smirk.

"Yip, now guess what kind. Remember, 3 guesses."

"A gold ring?" Khushi sounded stupid to herself. 

Arnav was secretly smiling at her confused expressions.

"A toy ring?" Khushi was about to say her last attempt when Arnav cut her off.

---

Arnav couldn't be bothered to hear Khushi's other guess as he thought she'd say a silver ring.

So he himself opened the box infront of her face.

Khushi gasped.

"Arn-a-v jii-i?"

"Khushi. Will you marry me?" There was a faint gasp, and then Khushi's head was spinning.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing, Arnav Singh Raizada proposing to Khushi Kumari Gupta.

Khushi started to black out.

Khushi fainted right on the spot. She was about to hit her head on the floor when Arnav caught her. 

I need to have cushions around with this girl Arnav thought to himself. He carried Khushi to her bed and put a glass of water next to her, he planted a gentle kiss on her lips and smiled at her sleeping. 

He could hear his own heart beat and literally realized what Khushi had done to him.

---

No one knew the cause of why Khushi fainted except Arnav.

Arnav was in tension because of how Khushi often faints, however his Di was always by his side.

"Kya hua chotte? Itne pareshaan kyun hai tum?" [What happened chotte? Why are you so worried?]

"Di, Khushi. Woh hamesha behosh hojati hai!" [Di, Its Khushi, she faints too often!]

Anjali seeing his concern started to see that Arnav developed feelings for Khushi.

"Chotte, bolo...Tumhe Khushi ji pasand hai?" [Tell me chotte, do you like Khushi ji?]

"No..." Arnav told his Di trying to hide the fact that he did.

"Chotte, I've caught your lies before and I've caught one now. App Khushi ji to pasand karte hai?"

[So do you like Khushi ji?] Anjali was very good at talking to her quiet serious brother.

"Ok di, YES, I DO. Di. I love her."

Those last 3 words put a wide smile on Anjali's face.

Chapter 20 - Confessions.

"So Khushi, tell me, was last night special for you? "
"Ka-ka-kaal raaat, haan um special thi, new year jo tha!" [yesterday night...yes it was special, cause of new year!]
"Oh really?"
"Y-y-yes, why?"
"just asking, what did you remember before you fainted?"
"Merku yaad hai ki mai khudkhushi karna chari thi..." [i remember the fact that i wanted to commit suicide...] those words hit Arnav like an arrow, because hes lost many loved ones due to them becoming suicidal.

"Arnav ji, i'll freshen up and come ok..." Khushi walked away to the bathroom awkwardly.
"This girl is totally crazy."

---

Khushi's needed clothes cause they were all at her apartment, she had showered and completely forgot she had no clothes here.
"Arnav ji! Arnav ji!" Khushi was wrapped in a towel and she forgot that she was and she ran to Arnav to ask him for clothes.
"uh Khushi..." Arnav was staring side to side, he didnt want to look at Khushi and get her embarassed, but even in a towel he thought she looked very very elegant.
"kya hua Arnav ji?" [what happened Arnav ji?]
Arnav pointed at the mirror, when Khushi turned around to see, she saw a girl wrapped in a towel which was short and was revealing her bare back towards arnav.

Arnav saw Khushi got embarassed so he took one of his sport jackets and gave it to her, she felt awkward as Arnav was putting it on her. Arnav couldn't help but stare at Khushis red face.

Khushis towel was about to fall, bur Arnav just in time had made het wear his long sports jacket covering everything behind.

---

"Khushi tell me, do you miss Akshay?"
"Nahi, hum, hum kisi aur sey pyaar karte hai..." [no, i love someone else,]
"Kaun?" [Who?]
"Just. Someone." and Khushi ran out of her guest room and unknowingly ended up into Arnav's room.

"Ap?! Ab kya chahiye?" [You? What do you want now?] Khushi questioned Arnav, and was instantly shocked by the fact that Arnav had come here cause it was his room.

"Now tell me Khushi who do you love?" Arnav asked Khushi walking towards her.
Khushi felt uneasy in her stomach cause of the hangover and instantly vomitted, thanking her devi maiyya cause she really didnt want to answer that question.

---

"Ap theek toh hai na Khushi ji?" Anjali kindly asked.
"ji haan, shukriya" Khushi replied nicely, everypne was crowded around Khushi worrying about her and her health.

Arnav Looked and winked at Khushi to still carry on the question, Khushi filled with shock was just wondering what to say.

---

Quit hiding Khushi she thought to herself, after all she was Khushi Kumari Gupta.
"go tell him Khushi! He's not gonna eat you."

Khushi picked up her self and entered Arnavs room, he was on the phone.

"Yes do tell me the price, ok thanks! See you Aman."

The moment Arnav put down his phone he looked at Khushi and asked the same question to her again.

Arnav started walking towards Khushi, she was nervously walking back until she was finally pinned to the wall.

---

"Ok i'll tell you, I love you." her heart was pounding. Arnav smirked and replied to her with a kiss and then he broke away and said;

""I love you too Khushi."

Chapter 19 - What happened last night?

Khushi woke up, she still had traces of her hangover but she was in control enough to stay stable.
She recognized the room which she was in 2 years ago. It was still as beautiful as it was then, white, with furry white carpet and a beautiful balcony sliding window.
She knew she was in the Raizada mansion, but she felt like she was dreaming.

She saw her phone on the bed side table and checked her messages, she read the one Arnav read last night and started to cry. But her tears turned to tears of joy.

---

She replied back to his text - "Hey Akshay! I read your text now, just want you to know, thankyou for letting me know, we can be friends we always will be! And i knew I wasn't gonna get married to you anyway, cause it was obvious you were still in love with Nikki, so its alright! love you always pal!xxx
-K"

She got a text from Akshay 5 minutes later saying "Hey Khushiii! You're welcome, its better for you to know than to find out like most women do, don't worry i'll always tell you my secrets, promise!:) hehe sorry if you felt awkward....anyway, you know what i think you should do?! date Arnav, he's perfect for you and he seems like he knows you for a long time!:OO anywho take care love you too kbob!:Dxxx"

---

After reading the last text Akshay sent her, her eyes popped out. "Date Arnav....Date Arnav..."
She repeated those 2 words over and over again in her mind. Just as that happened Arnav walked into the room and Khushi looked up in shock. Arnav thought Khushi was hurt cause of the text seeing she had tears in her eyes not knowing there tears of joy.
"Khushi! Tum theek ho? Kuch hua?" [Are you ok? Did anything happen?]
"Haan, hum theek hai, kyun, kya hua?" [Yup, I'm fine, why? what happened?]
"Nahi woh...Akshay?" [Oh cause Akshay...]
"Haan Akshay theek hai, hum theek, sab theek." [Yes Akshay is fine, I'm fine, everyone IS fine.]
Khushi said cheerfully making Arnav wonder how can she be so cheerful after a breakup.

"Arnav ji, um kal raat ko kya hua tha?" [Uh, what happened last night?]

--- flashback ---

"Arnav ji mei mei ap se- pyaar karti hu"
*Khushi falls asleep on Arnav's lap, he carries her to the front and drives off."

---

"You were drunk Khushi."
"Haan toh?" [So what?]
"Tum bhaang peeti ho, vodka nahi...toh..um." [You drink bhaang, not vodka..so..um.]
"Hahahaa! Nahi mei ab vodka, bhaang peeti hu, liken bus occasions par." [No I now drink vodka and bhaang, but only on occasions.]
"Toh kal raat tumareliye special thaa?" [So last night was special for you?] Arnav was trying to make Khushi remember what she said in a flirty way.

Khushi blushed trying to understand what he mean't, she could only remember the kiss, not her confession.

Chapter 18 - I love you.

Khushi woke up in the car, she had no idea still what was going on around her, Arnav kept looking at her every 5 minutes to make sure she was alright.
She didn't know Arnav was driving the car and she had remembered what Akshay said; we'll go for a drink after the party. She saw a new vodka bottle next to her and decided this is the time that she'll start to drink, not knowing in who's car she was in.
After drinking the whole vodka bottle Khushi started to get trippy, she was completely unaware she was in the car or someone was driving, she just didn't know anything.

"Akshaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, I don't wanna come hooooooome with youu, I wannaa-" Khushi hiccuped as if she was a little baby.
"Kitni cute hai woh..." [She's so cute.] Arnav thought about Khushi, she was so drunk she sounded like a little sleepy baby.
"I wannaa go to Arnaaaaaaavs, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase, I don't likeeeee you ahahahaha! I'm in love wiith someoneeeee elsee! isn't this so funnny?!" Khushi just spoke out everything which was in her heart.
Arnav's eye popped out when she said she was in love with some one else.

---

Arnav stopped the car, and opened the doors of the back seat.
"Arnaaav ji, Appp? mai sochi ap toh akshay hai, liken woh milraha nahi, tohhh haan.." [Arnav ji its youuu? I thought you're akshay, but i can't find him sooo yeahh...] She point both her index fingers in the opposite direction showing how clueless she is, she pouted her lower lip and said
"Arnav jii, mujhey shantivan jaanaaa haii, hum apko kitna yaad kiye. Humne app ku bolney bohoth kosheesh kee, liken mei app ku bolli paayi nahi" [Arnav ji, I want to go Shantivan, I missed you so much! I tried so much to forget you, but I just couldn't.] Khushi started to say in a much serious tone event though she was drunk.
"Arnav ji, Mei mei ap se- pyaar karti hu..." [Arnav ji, I I love you.] And Khushi fell right into Arnavs arms all sleepy. Arnav was just sitting there, speechless and whisepred "I love you too Khushi."

---

Arnav transferred Khushi to the front seat because she was way too drunk, and he had to look after her.
"You sound so cute when you're drunk Khushi, and you look beautiful as well." Arnav spoke to a sleeping Khushi.
Khushi hiccuped as if she heard what he said, but she didn't so she continued sleeping.

---

When the couple reached Shantivan, everyone was shocked to see Arnav with Khushi, they didn't see her for 2 years so they really wondered how Arnav managed to find her now that too drunk and all modernized.
"Di I'm taking Khushi to her room."
"Theek hai Chotte" [ok chotte.]

---

Arnav took Khushi into her room she was living in 2 years ago, he put her on her bed and realized her hand was holding his collar.
He tried to take her hand off, but he couldn't do that with out waking her up, so he unbuttoned his shirt carefully and left it there in Khushi's hand, he got a spare shirt from one of the cupboards and was about to leave when Khushi's phone beeped, he ran so the phone doesn't get louder.

---

There was a text from Akshay.

Khushi baby, im so so sorry, but i spent my new year with my ex, we made up and the engagement, um it was just um a dare, baby i'm so sorry, we'll always be friends though xxx

Akshay.

Arnav became furious and wanted to smash the phone on the ground, but he knew there was another way to make Akshay regret. He switched off Khushi's phone and left the room.

Just as he was about to leave the room, Khushi said "Arnav ji" in her sleep, Arnav turned out to see Khushi snuggling with his shirt, he left again with a wide smile.

Chapter 17 - What if?!

Arnav and Khushi kept dancing, her dress was long and glowing as ever, Arnav couldn't help but just look at her, her face, her posture, her hair, he just couldn't resist Khushi anymore.

"Khushi..." Arnav spoke as they were dancing
"J-ji-ji?"[Ye-ye-yes?] Khushi spoke stuttering.
"How could you?" Arnav asked her with pain filling his eyes.
"Ap ka matlab kya hai?" [What do you mean?]
"Tum ghar kyun chordi? Aur ye aadmi se kyun shaadi kara hi ho?" [Why did you leave home? And why are you marrying this guy?]
"Kyunki meri wajeyse bohoth burey cheez huey..aur me isey pyaar karti ho..." [Because of me bad things were happening, and I love him...]
"Anyways why do you care?" Khushi asked at him furiously.
"I care because I l-" Arnav was going to shout that out but he held the words back in.
"Sorry but I have to go...I have to look for Akshay." And Khushi ran off with tears coming up.

---

Arnav was devastated, he wanted Khushi to be all his, but she was some one elses too.
"You should've kept an eye on Khushi that night you idiot!" Arnav was speaking to him self regretting how he let Khushi go that night.

---

Khushi was lovestruck with Arnav and she knew it, she just pretended to love Akshay all these years, she felt bad cause she realized she just used Akshay to fill that space in her heart, now that she and Arnav met again, that space healed and pushed out Akshay..But she still had to try, Akshay did so much for her when she was down, she couldn't just say no to him.
Khushi rang Akshay's phone multiple of times but he didnt answer, she was heartbroken because first she met Arnav and second she didn't love Akshay any more.

---

Khushi ran out of the building in tears, she couldn't find Akshay. She needed some one, not Arnav but Akshay, because only he'd be able to take care of her in this state.
Khushi was devastated and depressed that she couldn't find Akshay, everything she was going through right now was because of Arnav, but she didnt care, she had to accept the fact that she had become love sick.

---

It was night and Arnav was driving full speed, the road was dark and empty. He wanted to see Khushi again, but he was trying to resist. He was talking on his phone when all of a sudden he saw someone standing in the middle of the road in a white dress, not having any clue whats going around them, it was Khushi.
Arnav breaked the car so hard that the car tires left black rubber marks behind. Their hearts started to beat as one when they saw each other again.
"Khushi!" anger rusbed through his blood, he started to run towads her, he held her in his tight grip all over again and screamed at her "What if I lost you dammit?!" Khushi she fell down in tears.
"Khushi?! Kya hua?! Baatao!" [Khushi?! What happened? Tell me!] she was in his arms sobbing her eyes out.
"I don't love Ak-Aksha- I love y-y" Since crying always made everyone sleepy, Khushi had fainted there, right in his arms, it felt like time was repeating itself.

---

"What if I lost you Khushi? What if?!" he was shouting at an unconcious Khushi and he snuggled her head into his chest, she became cold, so he carried her into the car and gave her one of his suit jackets.
He was finally happy because he knew, Khushi was going to go to RM with him, all over again.
Arnav kept repeating those words in his mind "I dont love Ak-Aksha- I love y-y." smiling to himself.

Chapter 16 - New years kiss.

"Lavanya can you go tell Aman i'd like my car at 12:45 because I have to go then." Arnav signaled to Lavanya that she can leave him and Khushi alone.

"Sure ASR, see you." And she walked off leaving them two alone.

Khushi tried to leave but Arnav got hold of her hand.

"You're not walking away this time Khushi Kumari Gupta." He had a tight grip on her.

"Leave me alone Mr Arnav Singh Raizada." Khushi tried to get rid of Arnav's grip but she possibly couldn't.

Arnav pulled her closer with his hands on her waist.

"Why Khushi? We're meeting after 2 years, why should I let you go when I just met you again?"

Arnav was leaning in to Khushi as she was moving back wards, until Akshay came.

---

"Khushi! I was looking all over for you!"

"Akshay! Baby!" And Akshay pulled her into a big tight bear hug and gave her a peck on her lips right in front of Arnav, he was jealous, you could see it clearly etched on his face.
"Hey baby who's this?" Akshay asked pointing at Arnav.
"Uh he's um Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada..."
"Oh! Good to meet you sir, heard so much about you!" Akshay shaked Arnav's hand.
"Good to meet you too Akshay."Arnav said with a tone of hate.

---

"Attention! Attention to everyone!" Akshay announced clinging the spoon and the glass together.
He brought Khushi by his side and slowly bowed down on his knees to her.
"Khushi, i know this a bad time, but i would love to share my life with you as soon as possible."
He pulled out a ring, it was gorgeous, it was a 24 caret diamond ring. Khushi was speechless.
Arnav watched her, he was about to cry, but he held back the tears.

"Khushi Kumari Gupta, will you marry me?" Everyone was awing except Arnav, Khushi forgot about everyone, and she said yes.
"Yes, YES YES YES!" Akshay carried her and he kissed her while she was being carried, Arnav couldn't stand the sight.

---

There was 1 minute to midnight left. Akshay and Khushi had something planned, but Akshay had to go to the washroom.
"Baby, I'll be back alright, just going to the washroom."
"what?! what about the plan? ok just come back quick."

the countdown had begun and Akshay was still in the toilet. 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25.....
"Wheres akshay..?" Khushi thought to her self.

15, 14, 13, 12, 11... All the couples in the hall were preparing to kiss each other, but Khushi couldn't find Akshay, Arnav was staring at Khushi, the crowd started to get thick and every couple stood in the hall while Khushi was in the middle, alone.

10, 9, 8....Akshay?! Khushi was getting restless.

6, 5, 4, 3, SHIT. Khushi was nervous and sad.

2, 1, she saw all the couples kiss, and a milisecond later, she was kissing too.

---

She wasn't kissing Akshay, she was kissing Arnav, Arnav came out of the crowd just to kiss her, despite her being engaged. Khushi couldn't be bothered though, she missed this between her and Arnav and she kissed him back, they both forced their tongues into each others mouth, before they both got out of control Arnav broke away and kiss and whispered "Easy there."
"I always was Arnavji, you were the one who was difficult." And they went back into their first passionate kiss in 2 years.
Arnav and Khushi were the couple who kissed the longest, they both were showing so much of love for each other, it was unbelievable.
They both pulled away from the kiss, and saw each others eye's for the first time in 2 years, they stared at each others faces to remember all the memories which had happened 2 years ago.
"You look beautiful Khushi." He whispered in her ear.
"I missed you..." Khushi whispered back.

Arnav leaned in for another kiss and Khushi kissed him back again, they started to dance.

"Wow Arnav Singh Raizada knows how to dance..." Khushi was amused.
"All thanks to you Khushi Kumari Gupta." Arnav complimented her.

Akshay still didn't come back.

Chapter 15 - The party.

The party was in a grand ball room with tables all around the sides of the hall stacked with confetti poppers, there was big round table in the middle of the hall which had wine, fruit punch, fruit salad, pizza, garlic bread, a chocolate fountain and jalebi's. In front of the hall's entrance there was a stage for all sorts of events, but today it was for some one who was going to announce the new year count down, and to have a couple dance.

Arnav went to the table to see what was there, when he saw the jalebi's he instantly remembered Khushi hogging on them at the canteen back at his office 2 years ago, he missed how stupid she looked like, or how cute she looked like, he just missed her to bits.

---

Khushi and Akshay reached, the moment Khushi stepped out of the car, everyone's eyes went onto her, she looked gorgeous more because of the moon light shining on her dress, she looked like an angel. Everyone was wearing black and blue dresses, few were wearing white, but none were wearing a dress as beautiful as Khushi's.
"Akshay? I look good right?" Khushi asked nervously.
"Yes baby! You always do!" Khushi blushed, they both walked in, arm in arm.
The moment the couple entered, everyone greeted them, they were more than 60 people in the hall which is why Khushi kept sticking to Akshay, so she wouldn't get lost.

---

The lights were dimmed and the atmosphere was blue just like the moonlight, there were 30 minutes left till new year and everyone was drinking fruit punch or wine, many people got drunk and some stayed sane. But Arnav, Akshay and Khushi weren't one of the drunkards.

Arnav felt hungry so he went to the table covered with food, Khushi was at the table too. Khushi took her plate and got garlic bread with fruit salad. Arnav got the fruit salad and he also took pizza. As Khushi was getting her all time favourite indian Mithai [Sweet], her hand touched someone elses, she looked up to say sorry, but when she and the person's eyes met, they both were standing there with a blank face, speechless.

"Uh I'm uh, sorry." Khushi put her head down so she wouldn't have to meet with Arnav's gaze, she walked away looking at the floor.
"Khushi?" Arnav whispered to himself.

---

Arnav couldn't think about how that could've been Khushi, and if it was, he had many questions like; where was she for these 2 years? how did she come here? He left his plate and followed the girl in the white dress, Khushi kept looking from the corner of her eye to see if Arnav was on her tail, and yes he was, she fasten up her pace and kept walking faster to not let Arnav talk to her or see her.
Arnav was desperate to find out whether that was Khushi, but he wondered how he would do that, until he saw Lavanya.
"Hey Lavanya, long time! what are you doing here?"
"Hey ASR, nothing! I'm just here for the new year party, what about your self?"
"Same same, hey Lavanya, um can you do me a favour?"
"I've met you for a minute and you're already asking me for a favour, you're still the same ASR, but sure!"
"Could you find a girl with a white dress which you know, and just talk to her, I mean for few seconds, I wanna see something..."
"Um Okay? Sure? why not."

---

Arnav was following Lavanya through the crowd, she knew 3 girls in the crowd, one of them who was Annie, another Kangana, and last but not least Khushi.
She met Annie, she met Kangana and she was still walking around until she bumped into Khushi.
"Khushi?!" Lavanya was so excited to see Khushi.
"LA?!" Khushi was too. They both hugged and talked, Arnav was watching Khushi's face until he finally confirmed that yes, this was Khushi. Khushi Kumari Gupta.

Chapter 14 - 2 years later.

It had already been 2 years since Khushi left RM, despite her still living in Delhi, she didn't once see Arnav. Both Khushi and Arnav were moving on with their lives, they completely forgot about each other, but if they ever stood in front of each other, the pain, the memories, the moments, would all come back flooding in their eyes. They always had that one feeling in their heart for each other.

---

"Akshay! Akshay! Baby, can you please help me in the kitchen? I can't reach the damn jam!" Khushi in a baggy soccer tshirt with night short shorts shout out to her boyfriend who shes been dating for a year, who she will also now be getting married to in about 4 to 3 months.
"Okay Khushi baby, one moment!" He went in grabbed her waist, lifted her with one arm and carried her to reach the jar together, Akshay and Khushi's relationship was all what Khushi wanted, love, freedom, hope. She was never unhappy with him, they would have their ups and downs, but they were always there for each other, Khushi never spoke about her past with Arnav because she thought she should let that go.
"I don't know what I'd do with out you either Khushi" And they both kissed gently.
"Since its new year in 2 days, what do you wanna do sweet heart?"
"Um, lets go to this party my friend is throwing and then we'll go for a drink?"
"Ok! that would be amazing, lets." And Khushi agreed with a smile on her face.

---

"Di! I have to go for a new years party day after tomorrow of one of my colleagues. Is that Okay?" Arnav Asked his Di.
"Sure Chotte No problem!" Anjali replied with her little baby sleeping in her arms, her baby's name was Puja Jha, she resembled Anjali more than Shyam, Shyam was good again, his health was better, and he only cared about his new family.
"Okay thanks Di!"

And he dialed his colleagues number and confirmed his attendance to him. Arnav had lightened up since Khushi left, he had to change, he knew that and he did, from Arnav Singh Raizada, he had successfully become Arnav, with no one's help but only Khushi's thoughts, but despite that, he still didn't think of Khushi as much as he use to.

---

A day had passed, it was the 30th of December, Khushi and Akshay were busy doing shopping for New years and the upcoming party. Arnav was doing the opposite, he was busy with work, the only free day he had was on 31st December, that too at midnight for 1st January.
Khushi bought a white strapless dress studded with pearls at the waist like a tight belt, a thin sheet of lace coming out from the waist to half way down the dress. The top half of the dress was completely bow shaped, two edges would stick out from the back because of another seperate hand made bow. That dress was beautiful and it went with Khushi's posture incredibly well, she got simple matching heels with the dress and that was her shopping complete.

---

"Chotte please wear this for the party, I got it for you, you have to look smart at a social gathering ok?" Anjali commanded Arnav to wear a Blue casual shirt with black trousers and black shoes.
"Ok Di, I will, don't worry!" he replied back.

---

It was 31st December finally and there were just 6 hours left till midnight, Khushi and Akshay were both getting ready for the party at sharp 10:00. Khushi wore her dress and looked gorgeous as ever, she had her hair curled in thin locks and they were tied up in a bun making them pop out, a bit of her hair was left out on the sides which gave her whole look the perfect touch, she put on simple make up. Her and Akshay carried a spare bag so they could change after the party, and they left the apartment.

---

Arnav had a shower at 10:00 and then wore the shirt, the trousers and the shoes his Di had bought for him. He left his hair un-gelled due to his Di's commands, he thought about his hair style and decided that his hair wasn't so bad even if it was un-gelled. He put on his Bvlgari perfume and put in his light sapphire cuff-lings to match his shirt, he walked out of RM at sharp 11:00 and started to head off to the function.
