"Why are we here?" Khushi asked confused as the car halted at a parlour.

"You both are so smart.. You both want to go and get married while leaving me here in ladies parlour but let me tell you that I don't like all these ladies things.. I'm beautiful the way I'm.." Khushi pouted.

"Shut. Up." Arnav gritted his teeth, glaring at her, "Go inside now.."

"See what kind of husband you're? You shouting at me at the day of our marriage!" she sobbed like a baby.

"Khushi bhabhi go na.. otherwise this wedding will happen tomorrow only.." Aman pleaded.

"Okay.." she pouted and Arnav opened the car's door for her.

"I'm waiting for you!" he said huskily.

"You have to wait only.. Who told you to bring me to ladies parlour? We could have gone and register our marriage quickly but no..Now you Wait only Laad governor.." she scolded.

Arnav rolled his eyes, "Romance" and "Khushi" are like "Earth" and "Sky".

"I will accompany you there.." he said and extended his hand to her.

"Booo.." she showed her tongue to him making childish expression and got down the car by herself, "I can go alone!"

Arnav just shook his head and watched her walking towards the parlour. Aman smiled, "Bhabhi is going to give you a tough time!"

"Don't even ask.. I'm already thinking about our future! It's going to be a Big Bang!" Arnav said crossing his arms and leaned on his car.

"You still have time to cancel the marriage... Think about it!" Aman chuckled teasing him.

"Had this girl won just ASR's heart.. Maybe I would have cancelled the marriage.. But she touched Arnav's heart.. In no way, I'm turning back now!" Arnav looked at Aman with small smile.

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

"Where's my wife Jenny? It's been four hours I'm waiting for her.." Arnav walked in the parlour making all girls shout in happiness, but he cared less. He just wants his wife!

"Calm down ASR.." Jenny said smiling at his impatience.

"What the.. I trusted your parlour to make my wife ready for our marriage and you're making me wait for four hours here.." Arnav frowned.

"Marriage!!!" the girls shouted shocked.

Jenny took Arnav outside the parlour before the girls started getting crazy and create a scene at her place, "Have you gone mad? Why did you came inside? You know girls get crazy about you and knowing about your marriage it will get worse.. You're giving me double work now, see I've already finished their make up and now they will start crying because you're not a bachelor anymore and spoil their faces and I will have to make up them again!"

"And you will get paid double also Jenny.." Arnav whined, "My wife now!"

"I haven't kidnapped her.." Jenny cried, "Your wife doesn't stay quiet in one place, she was always complaining that we're pulling her hair, she was hungry so we had to buy jalebis for her, or we're exaggerating on her make up, she looks like a ghost and not a bride and etcetera etcetera etcetera.. The only time she was silent was when she saw your designed lehenga for her.." Jenny smiled saying last line to him.

"She knows what's good and what's not.." Arnav smirked and Jenny smacked his shoulder.

"Your wife is ready Sir.." a lady employee came with Khushi.

Arnav stood still on his place, he stare at Khushi with his mouth slightly open forgetting that Jenny and the lady employees were still there. His eyes traveled through all her face and body. She was looking beautiful with the lehenga he especially designed for his wife! For the right woman in his life.. It looked perfect as if just made for her only.

Goriye, Tu Kinni Gori Ae, Tu Zameen Pe Chaand Ki Jodi Hai

(O girl! You are so fair(white complexioned), You're the Moon's twin on this Earth)

Buri Ae, Badi Buri Ae, Duniya Ki Neeyat Chhoriye

(It's bad, it's very bad, the intentions of the (people of the)world)

Nazar Na Lag Jaaye Jaanu

(May no gaze of an evil eye fall upon You)

Thought Yeh Ghabraaye Saanu

(This thought is scaring me)

Khushi took baby steps to reach him, she was sobbing silently on her way. She rested her hands on his chest and pouted, "I don't like these ladies.. They were pulling my hair.. Do you know how much I suffered? I don't want to come back again here.. They made me look like Ghost.. Half of the parlour make up is on my face.. My face became heavy now!"

Arnav's thought broke by her cute complaints, he cupped her face, "Shh.. You look so beautiful.."

"Sachi?" her eyes twinkled in happiness.

Arnav nodded wiping away gently her dramatic tears.

"I love this lehenga!" she said and twirled in front of him smiling.

"And I loved to see my creation (lehenga) on God's beautiful creation (Khushi)!" he smirked.

Khushi's heart started beating louder with his gaze on her Dhak-Dhak! She felt her cheeks hot and lowered her gaze shy of him.

"Shall we go now?" he asked huskily and she nodded her head. Jenny waved at them smiling, "Happy wedding!"

"Thanks Jenny! She's indeed looking the most beautiful bride ever.." Arnav whispered to Jenny smirking and then held Khushi's hand taking her gently to the car.

"Who ever thought that ASR would get married? First I made his bride ready (Sheetal) and he ran away from marriage and today he himself came with his bride to make her ready to marry him.. Unbelievable!" Jenny spoke to herself and went inside her parlour, set to work!

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

Gupta house:

Aman stopped the car as they reached Khushi's house, he turned to see Arnav and Khushi staring at each other lost in their thoughts at the backseat.

And why not? They're officially married now, and these both might not have confessed their love for each other yet but the way Arnav brought her to Sheesh Mahal, the way he kissed her, the way he accepted to make their marriage official clearly indicates he loves her. At least from Arnav's side, Aman is sure that he has some feelings for Khushi, he's just still not sure about Khushi's feelings. Is she getting married to him because she has no other choice? Her family and society blamed her and pointed finger at her character, maybe to run away from all these, she accepted this marriage.

Aman cleared his throat, "We have reached!"

Khushi and Arnav broke their eyes contact and composed themselves.

"Here is my house.." she said excitedly to see her family again, after such a long time. She never goes away from them for long time.

Her legs just wanted to reach her house, as she smilingly stare at her place. She started running without even opening the car's door and that resulted in her hitting her face on the car's window.

"Ouch!"she moved back and caressed her nose, that was most affected by her little accident.

"Normal people open the car's door then go to their destination but my Wife wants to go to her house without opening the door!" Arnav said sarcastically, "No wait, I've better solution for you, let's take this car inside your house, in this way you won't have to open the door itself!"

"Idea is not that bad.. Can you take your car inside my house?" she clapped her hands excitedly.

"Khushi tum bilkul pagal ho!" Arnav rolled his eyes and opened the car's door for her, letting her get down first he followed her to Gupta house. And Aman left to AR for some important work.

"Khushi.." Payal dropped the bucket from her hands in shock, as all the washed clothes laid on the floor waiting to be washed again.

"Offo.. She's reacting like she's seeing her sister for the first time!" Arnav rolled his eyes thinking, "Couldn't she react normally? This would save the clothes from being dirty again and now she will have to wash it again.. How can I forget? They're this Comedy Piece family!"

"Jijiiiiiiiiiiiiii.." his wife shouted on top of her voice making him look at her weirdly, isn't Payal some feet distance from them? Why is she shouting now?

Khushi went running with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face to her sister. But she forgot she was wearing a heavy lehenga, and not her simple salwars.. She even reached near Payal who opened her arms to hug her sister but the moment the emotional hug was about to happen..

*Thud*

Khushi fell in front of her sister and now giving company to the clothes all scattered over the floor.

Arnav face-palmed. Of course this would happen, could he expect something different from his Wife?

He rushed to her and she kept screaming on the floor, resting her hands on her tummy, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh.. Why me? I broke my whole body Arnav ji.. Take me to hospital.. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.."

He wanted to pick her in his arms, but some ladies came and shove him away from his Wife, making him grit his teeth, "How dare they?"

"Bitiya is about the deliver the baby.. There's no time to go to hospital.. Delivery has to happen now only.. Let's take her to some room.." the ladies whispered among themselves.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh.." Khushi hissed in pain, she was in no mood to explain to these ladies that she wasn't pregnant.

"What the.." Arnav frowned.

"Stay away from her boy.. Who are you? You can't see a woman in this state.." a lady scolded him.

"Which state?" Arnav asked in disbelief. Khushi just fell badly on floor and they are blabbering nonsense and even shoved him away from his wife.

"She's pregnant.. Are you blind?" another lady scolded him.

"Oh God.. Can people get more dumb here?" Arnav thought face palming.

"I'm not blind but you surely need an eye check up aunty.. What is this empty tummy going to deliver? A baby alien?" Arnav asked sarcastically.

The ladies looked at Khushi's tummy then back at Arnav with sheepish smile, "Sorry beta.. We thought she's shouting because it's her delivery time.."

"What the.. Not everyone shouts because it's their delivery time!" Arnav shook his head and the ladies left from there embarrassed.

By the time Arnav was fighting with the ladies, Payal helped Khushi stand placing her arms around her waist and Khushi's around her neck for support.

"Tum theek ho?" he asked concernedly to Khushi.

"Nahin.." she nodded sideways with moist eyes, "Bohot dard ho raha hai (It's paining a lot)"

"It will be fine! Who told you to run like a crazy woman?" he scolded, but still she could feel the care in his voice.

"Who told you to design such a heavy lehenga? It's your fault that I fell so badly.." she pouted accusing him.

"I've designed it having in mind a normal woman with some sense not a crazy-child!" he frowned.

Khushi was about to reply him back, but Payal pressed her hands on her gesturing her to stop, "Is he the one who helped you?"

"Haan Jiji.. He's Tangaballi aur abb mera pati.." Khushi glared at Arnav.

"Your husband?" Payal widened her eyes, "What.. What are you saying Khushi? You got married? When? How? Why?"

"Yes.. Now.. How people normally get married.. Because I want her in my life.." Arnav replied to Payal's questions.

Payal looked at him confused for a while, then understood that he was replying to her answers.

"But without informing anyone you both got married?" Payal gulped.

"I'm sorry Jiji.. Actually everything happened so fast that I couldn't understand anything.. Life brought us to this state now.. It was in our Destiny!" Khushi said feeling hurt, that her parents weren't part of her marriage.

"But.. Does he know about Shyam? Did he believe in you?" Payal whispered to Khushi and Arnav wondered what is she talking about.

"Haan Jiji.. He knows everything!" Khushi whispered back making Payal sigh in relief.

"Can we go inside now?" Arnav faked a smile, thinking: It's better we go inside quickly because I still have to bear her Amma breaking plates and Bauji tearing news paper in shock, then Buaji non-stop curses for us.. This dramatic family will waste my precious time and money and I'm only handling them because of this Sanki!

"Hold me.." she pouted opening her arms to him like a baby.

"Stop troubling him.. I'm holding you na.." Payal glared at Khushi.

"Kya Jiji.. You're not even that strong to hold a bucket how will you handle me? We both will fall again and this time people will think I'm really pregnant with an invisible baby.." she mocked her sister earning another glare from Khushi.

Arnav took Khushi, he wrapped his arms around her waist making Khushi smile at him, "Hamesha aise hi rahogi mere sath? (Will stay with me like this always?)"

"After seeing how much crazy you're.. I'm having second thoughts.." he replied all serious but the sarcasm could be felt in his tone.

"Laad governor.. We're going inside my house and you're saying such things.." she pouted as they walked inside Gupta house.

"You expect me to wait your Amma bring a copper pot with rice for me to kick then?" he grinned.

"Very bad joke!" she glared at him.

"I'm sure it must be a bad joke.. Who else can compete with the joke (Khushi) itself?" Arnav rolled his eyes.

"Jiji see.." Khushi looked at Payal with crying face, "I never thought I will find a husband like this.. He calls me a Joke! Joke? Do I look like a joke? Leave that.. Tell me did you ever saw Joke's face? How's Joke's face?"

"Agar hota, toh pakka tumhara jaisa hota (It Joke had face, then surely it would be like you)" Arnav muttered.

"Today is your first night.." Khushi gritted her teeth but was cut by an extremely shy Payal, "Khushi!!! Have some shame.."

Arnav smile amused that she talked about their FIRST NIGHT.. Sorry Khushi for calling you a joke, he thought!

"What shame Jiji.. He also doesn't have shame to call me Joke at my house only in front of you.. Then I also don't have any shame, today's night you're.."

Arnav covered her mouth with his palm, smirking: It's okay Khushi.. You don't need to say our private things to others!

Payal blushed looking down, wondering when did Khushi became so bold like this?

Khushi frowned, she shoved his hands from her mouth, "If it was in the recliner of our room, then it would be private.. But Mr. Raizada today you're going to sleep at the living room's couch.. So there is nothing private in that.."

Arnav's face fell, she was talking about his punishment and here he thought.. Oh no, Arnav this girl haven't started a kiss till yet with you, then first night is very very very far from that.

Payal sighed in relief, her sister is still the innocent one.

"Shashi.. Ohhh Garima.. Come to see your daughter.." Buaji shouted with wide eyes seeing Khushi in bride's lehenga and ASR beside her.

"Khushi.." Garima whispered with tears in her eyes, she came running outside the kitchen to the living room, as soon as she saw Khushi...

"3.. 2.. 1.." Arnav counted in his mind.

The plate fell from her hand, as more tears made way to her cheeks, "Meri bacchi.."

Khushi sobbed, she wanted to run to her mother's arms but Arnav tightened his arms around her waist, "Be careful Khushi.. If you fall this time, you will land in hospital, I'm telling you!"

Garima ran towards Khushi, her leg hit with the chair on her way, she was about to fall but Arnav rushed to her and held her in time, "Careful app bhi.. You're just like your daughter!"

Garima gulped of Arnav's intense gaze and husky dangerous voice.

Garima walked to Khushi and hugged her tightly, she broke the hug crying, and cupped Khushi's face: Where were you bitiya? We looked so many places for you.. Your father didn't rest one night thinking about you and I couldn't concentrate on anything anymore.. I missed you so much Khushi.. I know you were angry with us, but was it necessary to run away from us? Where had you gone? You didn't even took money with you and neither had food.. Where did you stay? Did goons attacked you? Where had you gone? Please forgive us.. But never do something like this again..

Garima was crying uncontrollably kissing her daughter and asking non-stop questions to her. Khushi was crying also, she was just hearing her mother sometimes scolding her, sometimes caring for her, sometimes asking where she was.

"Garima leave all that.." Buaji pulled Garima away from Khushi, then pointed to Khushi, "Look at her.. Your daughter is dressed like a bride and came back to her house with this man! Do you know who is he? Arnav Singh Raizada.. Ask her, what was she doing with him? Why did she came back with him? Kahin pregnant toh nahin? After getting pregnant outside home, she married without informing us with this man in hurry so that we accept them.. After destroying her sister's life, she successfully trapped a rich man and life is set for her.. Only our poor Payalia is suffering the consequences of her acts.." Buaji taunted.

Khushi stumbled back in shock, what had she done to deserve this? Why couldn't her family trust in her at least one time? How can Buaji accuse her of such things knowing very well that she respects her family and would never do something that will spoil their reputation in front of others, she would never make them feel ashamed of her. She would never let them down.

"You better watch your tone when you talk about my wife, you're her Buaji but you're nothing to me and you don't know what I'm capable of.." Arnav gritted his teeth angrily.

"Arnav ji please.." Khushi walked to him, and pressed his arms pleading him to not talk to her family like this.

"She is misbehaving with you Khushi.. I won't let her speak any nonsense she wants about you.." Arnav frowned.

"So this is truth?" Garima asked in disbelief, staring at Khushi.

"Amma.. Do you really think I would have done something like this?" Khushi cried.

"Then what is this? Why are you dressed as a bride? Why is he calling you as his wife? Khushi I can't believe you.. You left us with no courage to face the society now.. In Lucknow you slept with that man and now you're pregnant of this man.. Chee.. Is this why I raised you? You really proved that you aren't my real daughter! You can never be like Payal.. I'm so ashamed of you.. I don't know what to do.." Garima cried, she pulled Khushi and twisted her ear while scolding her.

Arnav angrily shoved Garima's hand from Khushi, "ENOUGH.. Did you hear what I said? Enough is enough.. Learn to trust your daughter also, it will do no harm for you.."

Khushi rested her head on Arnav's chest sobbing, she didn't want to face any of them. She just wanted him! Only him! She doesn't even know why she came back, only to hear more accusations on her character.

Arnav patted her back gently, then made her sit on a chair, he stood up ready to burst on Gupta, but she nodded sideways crying. Arnav blinked his eyes, "Trust me.. I know what I do!"

"You want to know who I'm for Khushi?" he gaze dangerously to Buaji, who gulped then nodded in no, "We already know everything.. Shashi why are you standing in silent? Throw them out of here.."

"I want to know.." Shashi blinked his eyes and asked Arnav to continue. While Payal consoled Khushi.

"Then listen.. Yes, I'm her husband.. Arnav Singh Raizada.." he glared at Buaji who gave a That's-what-I-said look, "But I didn't marry her because she's pregnant. I met Khushi in railway station and she didn't know where to go, I offered her to stay at my Dadi's house. In my Dadi's house, from strangers we became friends, but my Dadi thought she was my wife and because of her health issues we were forced to continue this lie, there I married Khushi and at last day of our stay, she shared her past with me. The man with whom she was about to get married is not Shyam, he is NK and he is my cousin brother, who also confessed that he was the one who made his friends expose Khushi's fake picture with another man, Khushi never betrayed her family, but you all betrayed her, you broke her trust, instead of supporting and trusting your daughter, you went to believe in some stranger.. And now you are repeating same mistake only, we surely came back to Delhi, but now I wanted to turn the lie of our marriage in truth, that's why today I officially married with Khushi.. Not because she's pregnant and did something wrong.. And if you want proofs, then I will bring the man who spoiled her life to confess everything to you all.." Arnav said.

"But.." Buaji was about to speak. Arnav walked to her angrily, "If you dare to speak anything against Khushi again, I don't know what I will do with you.. I'm just respecting the fact that you're Khushi's Buaji otherwise you don't know for that much you spoke, what would I've done with you!"

"Sorry.. This is what I wanted to say.. I'm sorry Khushi bitiya.. We thought wrong about you.." Buaji forced a smile on her face, when she was shivering in fear of ASR, "Jaise suna tha TV par, waise hi nikhla (Just like I heard in TV, he turned out to be like that only)"

Garima and Shashi broke into tears. They walked to Khushi and Khushi stood up staring with tears in her eyes, "Don't say sorry Amma Bauji.. I would have loved if you said that before Arnav ji proved my innocence.."

"Then punish us bitiya.. Punish us for not trusting your words.." Shashi cried. Garima nodded, "Haan.. We made you listen so much.. I uttered words that I will always regret in my life without knowing the truth.. Punish us Khushi.."

"Who am I to punish you both? I'm not angry with you both Amma and Bauji.. I'm just hurt.. really hurt.. Today I wished my real parents were alive.." she sobbed.

Shashi and Garima looked down crying, ashamed of their own deeds. If they had trusted their daughter and fought for her, this wouldn't have happened with her.

"No, don't think that because you all I'm unhappy in my life.. I'm thankful to my family today, because of you all I found Arnav ji.. The best gift in my life that God gave to me.." she smiled through the tears and stared at her Arnav ji.

Rabba vey.. Rabba vey..

"I'm sure he is!" Garima smiled and looked at Arnav, she knew that her daughter found a good man who will protect her all life.

Khushi took baby steps to Arnav, she held his hand and gestured with her eyes that they should go.

"Khushi.." Garima whispered seeing her leaving with Arnav. Will her daughter not come back again and let her live with this guilt all her life?

"Nahin Amma.. I've not broken ties with my family.. I just need some time!" she sighed.

"Come back quickly bitiya.." Shashi thought with moist eyes. Why did he fail to trust his Gudiya like that? Why did he believe in that man's word? He won't spare that man now.

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

"Yeah.. What? How did this happen?" Arnav freak out while talking on his phone, "Give me some minutes.. I'm coming!"

"What happened?" Khushi asked worriedly as they walked out of Gupta house, standing at the courtyard.

"Di met with an accident.." Arnav managed to inform her, with shaking hands he called Aman to ask the driver to pick them up and take them to hospital.

"Oh such an old player you're Anjali.. Faking accident so that Arnav ji forgives you.. And here is really shivering and crying for you and there you must be waiting eagerly for him to come and pamper you, then forgive you easily.. Don't worry Anjali, I won't let you win this time also!" Khushi thought.

"Arnav ji which hospital is she admitted?" Khushi asked.

"City hospital.." Arnav said waiting impatiently for the driver to come.

"Arnav ji maybe the driver is still going to take time.. Why don't you call some known doctor them and ask them about Di?" Khushi said.

"Good idea.." he said and called Dr. Sharma, his friend who upon his request went to check on Anjali. He talked with Anjali's doctor and was shocked to know that Anjali bribed to the doctor to lie that she met with an accident.

"ASR sorry to say that.. but your sister hasn't met with any accident.. She just bribed the doctor to lie that she met with an accident.. I don't know why would she do that!" Dr. Sharma said.

Arnav gritted his teeth angrily while Khushi smirked knowing that he already knows the truth.
