Hi guys am back again. Am very sorry for not updating for quiet some time now. My posting for my mandatory national service is out which has made me quiet busy of late.

This one shot is actually a prologue to a new story am planning to start soon, I hope u guys like it.

And thanks to all those who read, voted and commented on my previous shots, I deeply appreciate it 😘😘😘😘.

It's every girls dream to have a wedding filled with happiness, music and celebration.

But for Khushi, it was a day filled with tears and allegations. The most heart wrecking of all was that, the man who promised to stand by her through thick and thin was no where to be found. Again he left her to face the world alone, again he left her to face the sins of his
father. What was her fault!?. The answer is nothing. Now more than ever she knows that Arnav Singh Raizada does not deserve her love. She had had enough of his so called Dadi degrading her mother.

Especially if she was an equal victim and maybe the most hurt in this story. No more enough is enough.

" I knew these middle class women only know how to trap rich men with their beauty and fake character. Thank God my grandson got saved on time and did the right thing by leaving your cursed daughter. What do I expect from an orphan with no family or class?. What I.................... "

Dadi didn't finish when a slap resounded in the marriage hall and Dadi lifted her face after a few seconds with her hand on her abused right cheek which was still burning with the effect of the slap with the imprint of Khushi's hand on it.

She looked up to stare right into the face of a furious Khushi who was shivering in anger.

Her posture and state sent shiver down the spine of Dadi who for the first time in her life felt what it felt like to feel fear. The others stood in shock at the turn of events.

[PS: Some might find it rude but I would have done the same if my family was degraded and insulted like that]

"This is for insulting my mother and family, who the hell are you to judge people. The one who knew about her sons atrocities and yet never stopped them, the one who knows the real truth but twisted it to favour her and her twisted agenda.
You and the Raizadas have no right to point fingers at us when people are the cause of our pain and misery." Khushi yelled.

This shocked the Raizadas who bowed their head in shame and remorse knowing exactly what Khushi was talking about and the most affected was Anjali who knew what Khushi and Payal were put through by the family was because of her.
Dadi was about to say something when Khushi cut her off.

"You have said enough and we have listened enough, now it's my turn to say and for you and your so called family to listen, it's time for some reality check Subhadra Malik.
Yes am an orphan but devi maiya gave me another family, yes we are middle class but we don't steal. I have a loving family with flaws but will live and die for each other if need be  unlike your so-called family who only know how to manipulate, use and kill for money. You shameless woman, you are proud of ur first son who couldn't stay faithful to his wife even after having two kids with her. Garima didn't know of his marital status but he did and yet did what he did. So don't you dare blame my mother for your useless, unfaithful and two faced son because he was a coward and a bad person who couldn't take the responsibility of this atrocities, a coward who chose the path of suicide because his truth of his betrayal came out in from of society. A coward who ruined the life of people for his pleasure.
He ruined the life of his wife with his disloyalty by having an extramarital after and my mother's life. A coward who ruined his own daughter's life by choosing the easy way out and committing suicide and leaving his children to face this cruel world. It was your son and no one else.
He was just like you another coward, you too left your family and house when it needed an elder to handle everything but you ran away saving yourself and leaving your grandson, when the little boy was crying for his mother you chose to run away, when your granddaughter's for whom you tortured me needed you the most on the day her marriage broke and parent's took their own life you still chose to run away. Left them to face their father's betrayal and their parents death alone.

Your second greedy bastard of a son threw them out at the first chance he got, forgetting his humanity towards his niece and nephew and taking over the business his elder brother and father built.

It's you and your sons who ruin Garima and other lives not the other way around. And now that they've fought the world and got money and fame you are back to play the victim and enjoy together with your accomplice thinking because because you are rich we will fall and bow to you and their whims, no ,Subhadra Malik you are wrong.

So now tell me Subhadra Malik who is wrong here!?" said khushi mockingly

Dadi then bowed her head down in shame and realization.

This shocked everyone as the realised Dadi did this to separate Arshi. Her accomplice was also sweating knowing that all their plans has failed and at any moment now the possibility of him being exposed was high so he discreetly sneaked out without anyone noticing.

Everyone was miserable including Dadi as Khushi's words kept on playing in her head.

She moved to apologize to Garima but one glare from Payal, Shashi and Madhumati was enough to stop her and she knew better not to approach the Raizadas.

She then left with her head bowed in shame. Payal rushed to khushi and hugged her, both crying for their sad fate not know something better was about to happen to them in a couple of months. Garima moved to daughters and said with a heavy and sad voice.

" Come on both of you, we are leaving from here. Away from these people. I know it will be hard but we have each other and no matter how hard it gets we always pull through. "

Garima was moving together with her daughters with Madhumati trailing along while pushing Shashi in his wheelchair.

They were almost about to exist the marriage hall when Garima stopped in her tracks and turn to the direction where Akash was standing and said.

" Mr Akash Singh Raizada, my lawyer will soon come and give you the divorce papers and I hope you will sign them without causing any trouble "

This shocked everyone including Payal and Akash, but one look in her mother's eyes and she knew it was for the best.

Payal then smiled at her mother who was by now staring at her.

The Guptas saw this gesture and they also knew it was for the best. But for the Raizadas they knew it was the end of happiness in their lives and that of their young sons.

A realization that came too late. Akash automatically moved to Payal to plead but Garima forbade him and the look on Payal's face made him realise there was no hope left, he then fell on his knees broken and Payal wanted to go and take him in her arms and console him but she was tired, tired of being taken for granted, tired of the emotional, psychological and physical abuse at the hand of her soon to be ex mother in law and in-laws, tired of a man who can't set his priorities straight and tired of waiting for him to man up.

Anjali decided to try her luck forgetting that her luck has run out a long time ago.

She moved away from Nani and Mami who were supporting her all these while and starting limping towards the Guptas.

For the first time since she met the Raizadas she never thought she will one day look at Anjali with disgust but today was that day and it ticked her off seeing her still playing the victim.

She moved away from Payal and slowly moved towards Anjali. Anjali who saw this smiled and stopped in her track, Khushi also stopped a few steps away from her.

(Yes guys Khushi was the person looking at Anjali with disgust)

The following words from Khushi's mouth was enough to wipe the smile of her face.

" Don't you dare move an inch close to us as all my pain has been because of you. For once in ur lifetime stop playing the victim when you have been the silent villain in my story"

" Khushiji what are saying. How am I the villain" asked a shocked Anjali.

" Yes you are the villain"Khushi roared frightening everyone "you are and will always be the villain from the fashion show which was organized by brother for you until this day, you are the most deadly of them all" Anjali looked up shocked with tears cascading down her " You wan't to know why don't you?" Anjali nodded affirmatively. Khushi chuckled and shook her head at the stupidity of Anjali, but nevertheless she decided to let all the cats out of the bag and finally pull the veils of illusions she has" Then u better listen" Khushi started narrating everything from fashion show to the terrace scene to her first marriage, Arnav's abuse, the Kinapping, Shyam's deeds and everything.

[Note: The Guptas found out about all this from Khushi and decided to take her away but she managed to convince them thinking of how Arnav's believed her after the Kinapping and they were willing to put a little faith in Arnav's. There was no confronting of Arnav.]

When Khushi was done, the Raizadas with the exception of NK realized their crimes but still Anjali wouldn't barge but she finally realised the truth when she turned to look for Shyam and realised her plunder.

She cursed herself for indirectly being like her father and destroying her chote's life and her cousin's life.

But being the self obsessed woman she was, she decided to try again but Khushi's word dashed all her hope.

Khushi who has learn all her gestures knew she was about to start one of her emotional blackmail but stopped her before she could say any thing.

" Please don't start your drama of my chote loves you ,because if he was to show up now I will be the one to reject him. And don't worry am not going back to ur brother anymore. You can finally have his undivided attention now that am no longer in his life. You don't have to insecure anymore.

After she was done speaking she left the hall and the city together with her family vowing never to return but DESTINY has other plan in stored for her, Payal and the Raizadas with other new lives and people included.

Phew this is my longest one shot so far with over 2000 words I hope u guys love it. I hope I have compensated you well for my absence for so many days now. As I said before I have been extremely busy but I promise to update immediately I get a free time.
