"Shyam.. Shyam Manohar Jha?" Arnav asked numb.

"Yes.. Do you know him?" Khushi asked curiously and confused as well.

"I know him.. I know him very well Khushi.. he can't do this.." Arnav took a step back shaking his head in disbelief.

"That means you also don't believe in me.. You think I'm lying.." she asked with tears in her eyes.

"I do trust you Khushi.. but I know him very well, he's such a man who cannot even raise his voice in front of a woman, then how could he do this to you? Maybe you're mistaken.." Arnav said walking towards her, he wanted to wipe her tears but she shoved his hand.

"I really thought you could turn into my Rahul today, but you proved you're Tangaballi only.. that's why you support your friend.." she looked away.

"Khushi listen to me.. I do believe in your words.. I know you're not lying but it's just too shocking to me to hear Shyam's name as the one who did this you.. But if he really did, then I will punish him no matter what he's to me.." he cupped her face. Khushi looked at him with moist eyes.

"Sorry to disturb.. there's no door here to knock knock bro!" Pinky came smiling teasingly.

"It's okay.." both Khushi and Arnav composed themselves and turned to her.

"Actually.. driver ji came to take you both to train station.." Pinky said with tears in her eyes, "Ayee aye.. Pinky going to miss you two too much!"

Khushi smiled sadly and hugged Pinky tightly sobbing. Arnav also felt sad, his good days ended today only, from now on he won't have his Comedy Piece to make him smile, to fight with him, to say her filmy dialogues. Life isn't going to be like movie now, it's just going back to his normal schedule where there's no fun, only work all day and night.

To hide his tears, he went from there with the excuse of taking the bags to the car.

Maya and Dadi also came there and hugged Khushi not feeling like letting them go.

"Time passes so quickly.. I didn't even realized that you both are going away today.." Dadi pouted wiping her tears.

"We now got used to live with you both.. we're going to miss you so much Khushi.." Maya said side hugging her.

Khushi started crying more, "To tell you the truth, I don't even feel like going back home now.. I want to stay here only.. It was so much fun, I will never forget these days in my life!"

"Why are you talking like it's last time you came here? If you miss us, then talk with Chote he will bring you back here.." Dadi smiled.

Khushi bit her tongue realizing she just spoke too much, "Actually this Laad governor always busy with his works, I wonder when I will get time to come here again!"

"That's sach (true)!" Pinky said giggling.

"Dadi we're going.." Arnav said walking to their side, he hugged her smiling a little, "I'm going to miss you so much!"

"I will miss you too.. take some time from your busy schedule to meet your Dadi.." she pleaded lovingly.

"I will Dadi.. and you too promise me that you will take care of your health and take your medicine in time.. don't work too much because Maya aunty and Pinky are here also.. so don't take stress over petty things.." he said breaking the hug, and cupped her face.

"Okay.." Dadi nodded feeling pampered by her grandson, "Also ask Anjali bitiya to visit me, it's been so long I've not seen her neither talked with her.."

"I will.." Arnav blinked his eyes once as if conveying that he will pass the message to Anjali, "Maya aunty take care!"

Maya hugged him and caressed his hair, "You too mera baccha.. now that Khushi is here, I'm less worried about your health.."

Arnav and Khushi stare at each other and gulped, everyone here thinking that they're one happy married couple when reality is far from that.

"Let's go Khushi.." Arnav said and held her hand guiding her to the car, while he waved at his family who stood emotionally waiting for them to go.

******************************************************************

At train station:

Khushi was quietly on her seat staring at the window side with no emotion on her face. Arnav was typing something on his phone, he looked up from his phone to her, "Khushi what happened? Do something.. Will keep you sitting like that?"

"What will I do? Lungi dance?" she asked sarcastically glaring at him.

"WHAT THE..." Arnav frowned, "Say something at least.."

"Kahan se kharidi aisi bakwaas dictionary?" she pouted leaning her head on the window side.

"What the.." he looked at her in disbelief.

"What do you exactly want then? When I asked you if you want me to dance, you asked me to say something.. when I say something still you're with your What the.. what the.. all the time!" she spoke angrily now.

"Why is it looking like I'm Rahul and she's Tangaballi now?" Arnav thought to himself.

"Why are you getting angry? What's wrong now?" he asked angrily also.

"I'm not angry.. you're making me angry with your What the.. Am I not quiet in my place? Isn't this what you like?" she asked.

"Who said to you that I like when you stay quiet?" he asked taken aback, doesn't she know she is his Comedy Piece!

"You only keep complaining about me all the time.. Today is our last day together, I thought not to irritate you!" she shrugged pouting.

This time even he stayed in silent, why is it hurting so much to let her go? He doesn't want to leave her now, wish he could go back in time they were in Chennai and relive all those moments again.

He closed his eyes and leaned on his seat, thinking about their moments. Khushi stare at him with tears in her eyes, "Why don't you stop me from going away from you? I don't want to stay away from you Tangaballi.. that's why I'm cranky today.. I feel protected and secure around you.. and with my family only I feel out of place.. I don't want to go back home now.. I don't want to face those people again.. they will question my character again.. they will not let me live in peace.."

************************************************************

Sheesh Mahal..

"Hali Plakash please gimme some jalebi!" Mahi pleaded HP taking baby steps towards him, she followed him till the kitchen.

"Just one!" HP said and handled to her smiling. Mahi happily forwarded her hands to take the jalebi when suddenly she saw it on the floor, her eyes filled with tears.

"Have you gone mad? Who told you to give her these stupid sweets?" Anjali shouted at HP who trembled looking down.

"Mumma I want!" Mahi cried.

"Just shut up Mahi.. You're not going to eat sweets, they're not good for you! Already your Mamu spoils you every time with chocolates and now you want to add this too!" Anjali shouted.

Mahi sobbed, she covered her face with her palms and went running from there.

"And you.. dare you give her something without my permission.. you'll be fired next minute!" Anjali pointed her index finger to HP who nodded his head.

"What happened Di? Why are you scolding HP?" Sheetal came inside the kitchen witnessing a poor HP and angry Anjali.

"These useless servants don't concentrate on their work to spoil my child with their middle class habits.." Anjali rolled her eyes.

Sheetal shook her head, "Just let it be.. don't spoil your mood because of them.. come let me show my new saree.. I just bought from AR's shop only.. designed by ASR himself!"

"Oh, you want to surprise your lover.. Not bad ahn!" Anjali smirked and both went to Anjali's room leaving a deeply hurt HP behind.

****************************************************************

Railway station..

The train stopped and everyone started getting down with their respective baggage. Khushi and Arnav also got down and were received by Aman.

Aman waved at Arnav smiling.. he rushed to Arnav and hugged him tightly, "How's trip to Chennai? And where's the mad woman who got the chance to be your wife?"

"Behind you!" Arnav whispered in his ear with a smirk on his face while Aman widened his eyes and gulped. He turned to Khushi with sheepish smile, "Hi bhabhi!"

"So you're his girlfriend?" Khushi asked pointing to Arnav, Arnav rolled his eyes muttering his favorite What-the while Aman widened his eyes, "No bhabhi.. I'm his best friend only!"

"And I'm not Mad woman.. I'm Khushi only.." Khushi pouted.

"Sorry!" Aman whispered with sheepish smile to which Khushi slapped his arm laughing, "Caught you.. I was joking only.."

"Wow.. bhabhi quite fun hai!" Aman whispered smiling.

After some minutes, the three of them stayed in silent not knowing what to say.

"So.." Arnav broke the silence clutching his bag.

"So?" Khushi knew it was time to go, but still she pretended she doesn't know it.

"So.. this it it.. our journey ends here, now you go to your life and I will go to mine.." Arnav said breaking his heart completely now.

"Yes.. this is it.." Khushi smiled controlling her tears, "So bye Tangaballi.. thank you for everything!" she meant the best moments he gave to her.

Arnav nodded and looked at Aman, both started walking towards the car. Arnav wiped the corner of his eyes remembering of their first meeting, of their fights, their moments with Dadi, Maya and Pinky, the moments they got close, the pictures he clicked secretly of her, how she took care of Dadi, how she easily mingled with everyone in his family, how she used to smile and hide her pain from everyone, when both married each other.. and now he has to face another reality in his family, his other family must be waiting for him to question about his sudden disappearance and then starts the emotional blackmail for him to marry with Sheetal..

"ASR.." Aman called him.

Arnav looked at Aman smirking and asked: Are you thinking what I'm?

"You said no for that ASR!" Aman reminded him.

"That time I didn't want her Aman.. this time I do!" Arnav smile a little, "Think about it, if Khushi is my wife, then no one will force or blackmail me to marry Sheetal!"

"Then go and stop her ASR!" Aman cheered him up and patted his shoulder convincing him to go.

Khushi walked lifelessly towards her destination, she didn't feel like going back home. All the way, tears were making down her cheeks, "I don't mean anything to you.. Why did I start to like you in first place? All this is my fault.. I shouldn't have interfered too much in your life, I shouldn't have treat your family like mine.. now it hurts.. Why is hurting so much? I'm feeling completely empty in my heart.. clueless about my own life.. I don't feel like doing anything.. I don't know what to do.. where to go.. I just want you.. Why? I just want you back in my life Arnav.."

"KHUSHI!" he shouted her name running towards her and bumping with other people in the crowd.

Khushi turned back with her heart beating faster, she clutched her duppata near her chest but her face fell when she didn't saw anyone, thinking it to be her imagination only. She started walking again, wiping her tears.

"KHUSHI.. KHUSHI.." he shouted again running more faster and that's when Khushi turned back with shocked face, she really saw him coming towards her.

She smiled through her tears and walked towards him, when a lady bumped with her. She lost control on her feet and crashed with him, making both fall on the ground.

The crowd cared less but for them the time stopped, both were staring deeply and affectingly into each other's eyes.

Rabba vey.. Rabba vey..

"Come with me.." he pleaded huskily wrapping his arms around her, not breaking the eyelock.

"Kahan? (Where?)" she whispered still staring into his dark chocolate brown eyes.

"To my life.." he said placing her hair under her ear gently.

She smiled hearing these words and the answer is a big YES, but with what rights she would enter in his life, this made her expression turned into confusion one.

"As my Wife.." he cleared her confusion reading her expression.

"What about my family?" she pouted, "Who will convince them?"

"I will.. You just answer me Yes or No otherwise we will be crushed with these people here.." he said impatiently.

"What if I say NO?" she asked with mischievous look.

"Don't forget I'm Tangaballi.. I will take you forcefully with me!" he winked.

"Yes.." she blushed lowering her eyes. Arnav touched his forehead with hers, his heart sigh in relief that she was still here near him. She's his and that's it.

"What are you both doing?" Aman shut his eyes whining, "Shameless creatures!"

Arnav and Khushi stood up giggling at their own antics. Arnav held Khushi's hand possessively and signaled Aman to go.

"Sheetal is calling.. looks like she bought a saree that you designed it and wants to surprise you!" Aman said.

Arnav rolled his eyes while Khushi raised her brows, "Who is Sheetal?"

"The one who wanted to steal your fate!" Arnav replied.

Khushi bit her nails confused, "What do you mean?"

"She wanted to marry me.." Arnav said.

"Oh, so you want to escape from her that's why you're taking me with you so that you won't have to marry her.." Khushi crossed her arms cutely.

"Tomorrow we're going to register our marriage.." Arnav said seriously and Khushi blushed.

***********************************************

Sheesh Mahal

Arshi and Aman reached in the mansion.

"Wow.. Is this house or palace?" Khushi widened her eyes astonished, "I'm sure you have room to accommodate whole Delhi itself!" she giggled.

Arnav shook his head while Aman laughed at Khushi's joke.

HP opened the door and smiled seeing Arnav, then looked at Khushi, "Aiyoo..bhaiya you brought a wife too from Chennai!"

"Shut up HP!" Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Aiyoo.. Wife is from Lucknow only but marriage happened in Chennai only!" Khushi giggled.

"Are you done HP, can we enter now?" Arnav asked sternly to which HP gulped and nodded making space for them to enter.

They walked towards the living room, Sheetal came running downstairs with a red saree designed by the man of her dreams, he has got everything a girl wants, looks, money and fame.

She stopped on her tracks when she saw a girl holding Arnav's hand as if Arnav belonged to her only. Gritting her teeth she walking towards them, "ASR.. I missed you so much!"

"Must be that thief of fates only.." Khushi thought pouting, she didn't like this woman looks on her Tangaballi.

"But I didn't let him miss you!" Khushi replied blinking her eyes smiling, she tightened her grip on Arnav.

Arnav looked at her with You're-possessive-girl look.

"Hello hi bye bye.. Who's this clown?" Mami asked walking towards them with confusion written all over her face.

"Chote!" Anjali came downstairs, she rushed to hug him tightly. Arnav hugged her back smiling, "Di.. How you're?"

"Don't ask me this.." she broke the hug emotionally and slapped his arms pouting with fake tears, "Do you know what I went through when you were not here? I was so worried, it's okay if you didn't want to marry but who does this? Run away from your own house.. already I was missing you when you went to London and now.."

"It's because you fixed his marriage secretly na that he ran away.. now why are you crying?" Khushi asked confused.

"Khushi keep quiet.." Arnav signaled her to shut up. Khushi pouted and signaled to him that she zipped her lips to which he couldn't control a cute smile from forming on his lips.

"Who's this girl?" Anjali looked at her disgusted, "HP go and give her yesterday's food.. and also give her some money.. I don't know even beggars started interfering in our lives.."

"DI STOP IT!" Arnav shouted gritting his teeth, Anjali took a step back and Sheetal hide behind Anjali.

"Why are you shouting this much? This palace will break with your shout.." Khushi complained covering her ears with her palms.

"Hello hi bye bye.. you shouted at your Di because of this clown!" Mami widened her eyes while Anjali looked at him with moist eyes.

"She's not a beggar nor a clown.. SHE'S MY WIFE DAMMIT.." Arnav barked angrily.

"Aiyoo I will go deaf today.." Khushi rolled her eyes dramatically holding her head with her palms making Aman behind Arnav laughed out loud at such a serious situation.

"YOUR WIFE???????????" Mami, Anjali, Sheetal and now Nani who arrived hearing Arnav's shout stood shocked.

"Wife hi to hoon. husband toh nahin (I'm his wife not husband)" Khushi said confused with their shocked looks.

Arnav glared at her and she giggled sheepishly and zipped her lips again making him smile a little again.

"What kind of joke is this?" Anjali asked angrily.

"The same kind of joke you were going to do with me Di.. surprise me with a marriage without my consent.." Arnav replied.

"This is your Dadi's doing right.. I'm sure she instigated your mind against us.." Nani said hurt.

"It's my decision only.. Dadi has nothing to do with this.." Arnav frowned, "Why do you always blame Dadi for everything Nani? She's not at fault.. I love her as much as I love you all.. I won't hear anything against her.."

"I can't believe you left me to marry this middle class girl ASR.. just look at her.. chii.." Sheetal looked at Khushi with disgusted look.

"Chii is your name that starts with Sheeeeeeeeee!" Khushi glared at Sheetal.

"Woah.. what's happening here? Bhai.." NK rushed to them faking a smile, he just came back home when he heard shouts all around.

He stopped on his tracks when he saw Khushi, he widened his eyes shocked as sweat beads start forming on his forehead, "What is she doing here? Did she came to complain about me to Arnav? Oh no, this girl will spoil my long time plan with just one truth.."

Khushi gasped seeing him here, she clutched Arnav's arms tightly with tears in her eyes, "Shyam.." she whispered.

Arnav looked at her confused, why was she calling NK as Shyam? Why did she got so shocked seeing him here?

"NK.. look at your brother.. what he did.. he married with this girl without our permission.." Anjali rushed to NK crying.

NK coughed badly widening his eyes, "What?"

"JUST SHUT UP EVERYONE.." Arnav shouted on top of his voice irritated, "I MARRIED KHUSHI AND THAT WAS MY DECISION, SHE'S MY WIFE AND YOU ALL BETTER ACCEPT IT AND IF YOU DIDN'T, THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME ALSO.. IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE FACT THAT SHE'S NOW KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA SINGH RAIZADA! I DON'T WANT ANYONE QUESTIONING ME, I HOPE I'M CLEAR NOW.."

He turned to Sheetal, "AND YOU BETTER LEAVE FROM HERE AND STOP DREAMING ABOUT BEING A RAIZADA.. YOU CAN EVEN WANT TO BE A RAIZADA, BUT YOU CAN NEVER BE A RAIZADA!"

"Chote.." Anjali called him sternly with scolding tone for shouting at Sheetal. Sheetal shut her eyes feeling extremely insulted.

"Don't Di.." Arnav showed to her his palms, then turned to Mami, "And better look at yourself in mirror Mami to recognize who's the clown here.. I won't admit if you call my wife like this!"

Mami gulped and widened her eyes, "Hello hi bye bye.. scolds his Mami for this middle class girl!" she thought to herself.

"And Di, it's not you but me who should be angry with you.. You're my Di and I would do anything for you, but that doesn't mean you play with my life like this.. I've not given anyone the right to take decisions on me.. better think before you do something next time!" Arnav said in serious tone.

He turned to NK and found him staring at Khushi, surprisingly Khushi was also staring at him.

"So it's his brother.. Why would he trust me over his brother?" Khushi thought shaking her head with moist eyes.

Arnav looked at her, "What happened Khushi?"

"Kuch nahin.." she nodded sideways and left his hand slowly.

"No dammit.. Why this Khushi had to come in my life? She always come in wrong time, that day when I was kissing that girl and now as Arnav's wife.." NK thought clutching his fist angrily.
