Aman walked towards her and sat on the couch beside her, keeping the glass of water he brought on the near table. He patted Khushi's back, "Calm down.. please don't cry.."

Khushi broke in more tears, "How can he do this to me?"

"Drink this water.." Aman brought the glass to her and Khushi shook her head with moist eyes, "I don't want.."

Aman sighed and kept the glass back on table, "You shouldn't have told him the truth so early.. I already told you this is going to be difficult na, because Arnav has full faith and trust on his family, he grew up with them and accepted them the way they're.. We also don't have any proofs to prove our point.."

"What would I do Bhaiya? Wait for Akash to play with my Jiji's feelings.. Wait for him to break her heart and see her suffer all her life.. I can't let him do what NK did to me.. Already my family suffered a lot because of me, we had to shift from Lucknow to Delhi to avoid those neighbors making our life a hell and now the same happen to Jiji.. no.. I will do anything but will always protect my sister from such evil persons.." Khushi said sobbing but still her eyes showed that no matter what happens, Raizadas haven't still broken her, she will still fight!

"And it's good I revealed the truth to him also.. Today I got to know how much he trusts me.." she smiled sarcastically, thinking about Arnav's confession of trust to her and next day he act opposite of his words.

"Shh..enough now.. stop crying and you need to rest.. you must be tired.." Aman said wiping away her tears.

But more tears made way to her cheeks as she numbly continued on the couch remembering what happened to her. The person she trusted the most, she loved the most now completely broke her heart and abandoned her like her family did in NK's matter. He thinks she took no time to accept to get married to him because she's a gold digger, couldn't he see how much she cannot bear a distance from him, that's why leaving her family she went to live with him and accepted marrying him even though he didn't even confess his love to her? Couldn't he think about those lovely moments they spent together at Dadi's place before ruining their relationship with such harsh words? Couldn't he see how much she cares for him that she was even ready to defeat his family and protect him from them? Couldn't he see the truth in her eyes? Why did he say he trust her when at the end he's going to break her heart like this?

"Maybe it's my fault only.. when someone becomes close to me, then I can even lay my life for that person.. but I forget that others aren't like that.. when I love someone then I can do anything for them.. But why is everyone so selfish? Why do they always push me away from their lives? Why Bhaiya? Don't I deserve anyone's love in this world? First my real parents left me and went very far away that I can't even reach them.. then my family also taunted me and trusted NK over me.. and now Arnav ji.. I just pointed a finger to his family and he went all against me.. He didn't even thought that maybe my Comedy piece is saying truth.. he didn't even hear a word from me and trusted his family over me.. He also left me.. but I never wished bad for anyone, neither for my family nor for Arnav ji.. then why they left me?" she covered her face with her palms crying.

Aman felt so bad for her now that he wanted to go to Arnav and shout the truth to him, but he knows that's of no use now. Arnav is not going to believe their words.

"I'm here for you.. from now on, I'm your Bhaiya.." Aman side hugged her, patting her shoulder to calm her down.

Khushi rested her head on his shoulder and cry her heart out.

Next day..

"Finally we can breath in peace now.. that middle class girl isn't here to burst our brains! " Mami said smiling and eat her food happily.

"Finally I could sleep in peace yesterday.. " Nani said smirking.

Arnav came downstairs with stern and rude look, he sat on his chair and took his glass pouring juice on it, without looking at anyone's face.

"Chote are you alright?" Nani asked with pity look.

"I'm fine Nani.. and I would like for you all to behave as if a girl named Khushi never was in our lives.." he gritted his teeth.

"Hello hi bye bye.. We can do that, but will you be able to forget her Arnav bitwa?" Mami asked. Nani and Akash glared at her and she smiled sheepishly.

"I've already erased that girl from my mind.." Arnav said with eyes getting dark at each word he took.

Nani, Mami and Akash had big smiles on their faces.

HP came to serve toast to Arnav, he heard last line and made a sad face, "Arnav bhaiya.. Khushi didi is not a bad person.."

Arnav clutched his glass and threw it to the floor breaking it in pieces and making everyone flinch.

He stood up angrily, "Khushi Didi isn't a bad person, right? THEN GO AND JOIN HER.. Work for her and she will pay you salary also..What do you think a servant like you will start giving me advices and tell me who's good or not? COME ON.. PACK YOUR BAGS AND LEAVE FROM HERE.."

"I'm sorry Bhaiya.." HP looked down in fear.

"Go back to the kitchen and do you work now.." Arnav barked.

HP went from there. Arnav took his bag and walked away from there angrily.

"Itna ego (So much ego).. I want to see your ego when we take all this mansions and AR from you.." Akash smirked.

"Hello hi bye bye.. gussa toh aisa karta hai jaisi ki puri duniya uske naukar hai (He shows so much anger as if the whole world is his servant)" Mami rolled her eyes.

"Bohot jald hum usse naukar bana denge (Very soon we will make him a servant)" Nani said caressing the ring on her finger with a evil smirk.

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

Aman's apartment:

Khushi came out of the kitchen with breakfast for both. Aman smiled, "You didn't have to do this Khushi bhabhi.. I would have cooked for us.."

"It's okay bhaiya.. If you make me your sister, then you have to let me cook for you also.." Khushi smiled.

"I really admire you Khushi bhabhi.. No matter what's the problem in your life, your smile is always there on your face.." he said noticing that after she woke up, they weren't signs of tears on her face.. just that smile that hides a lot of pain.

"Someone told me that no matter how much sad and broken from inside you're, we should make people around us smile.." Khushi sat on her chair.

"Good thoughts.. but that someone forgot to tell you that not only others, we should make ourselves happy also.." Aman said and stuffed paratha on Khushi's mouth. Khushi widened her eyes gulping it, and beat Aman on his shoulder. Both laughed at themselves behaving like kids.

"Today I need to go to my house.. to talk with Amma and Bauji about Akash.. I just hope they believe in my words.." Khushi said nervously.

"I think they will but Payal.. she seems in love with Akash and won't believe in your words.. She will think you're trying to separate her from him.. You know what I mean.." Aman said.

"Yes.. I know, but I will try.." Khushi nodded sadly.

"Aman bhaiya if you can collect some proofs against Raizadas.. to.. err.. show to Arnav ji.. their real faces.. I mean.. he threw me out of AR and I can't do anything now to save him.. but you still.. work for him.. please try bhaiya.." she said with moist eyes.

Aman smile staring at her, how cruelly Arnav threw her out of his house and still she wants to save him from his family.

"I will really pray to find a wife like you Khushi bhabhi.." Aman sighed and nodded his head, "I will try to collect proofs against Raizadas and hopefully Arnav will trust us then.."

"Thank you.." she smiled genuinely.

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

Gupta house:

Khushi knocked the door once and waited for someone to attend her. Garima opened the door and smiled, "Khushi bitiya.. It's good that you're here.."

Khushi smiled weakly.

"Come.. come.. See who came here.." Garima held her hand and pulled her inside the house, they stopped at the living room and Khushi widened her eyes in shock seeing Raizadas in her house.

"They came to talk about Payal and Akash bitwa alliance.." Garima said happily.

"See who reached.. Why didn't you came with Arnav bitwa Sanki?" Buaji asked.

"Didn't she told you?" Arnav asked smirking at Khushi. Khushi looked away with tears in her eyes clutching her bag.

"What bitwa?" Shashi asked smiling.

"Looks like you haven't spent the night at your house.." Arnav looked at Khushi.

"What happened? Wasn't Khushi at Sheesh Mahal yesterday?" Shashi asked worriedly.

"Khushi doesn't want her sister to get married to Akash.." Arnav said.

"What??" Guptas gasped shocked and Payal looked at Khushi with questioning look.

"Why Khushi?" Payal whispered.

Khushi was about to speak when Arnav interrupted, "This is the problem with middle class people.. when they find a treasure, they can't even share with their own family.. Khushi can't share the same mansion and the Raizadas status with you.. This is how much your sister loves you! .. She is always creating problems and fights wherever she goes, she came to my house and created fights between me and my family and now doing same thing with you Payal.. Now ask her what is the problem with Akash? She says Akash isn't a good man for you.. Ask her why?"

"You're insulting my daughter.." Shashi said coming face to face to Arnav.

"You daughter did such thing that she only deserves my insult only.. I won't keep quiet when someone messes up with my family and that's exactly what she did.. that's why I showed her place.." Arnav gritted his teeth.

"Khushi must have a reason to do what she did.." Shashi said.

"Yes, she had only one reason that is to be Mrs. Raizada.. Your daughter is nothing but a golddigger.." Arnav shouted.

Shashi angrily hold Arnav's shirt collar, "How dare you.."

He coughed a bit, Khushi rushed to him and patted his back, "Bauji please don't fight with him.. Calm down please.."

"I thought I hand my daughter in safe hands but you turn out to be worse than that NK.." Shashi said letting his shirt collar and wrapped his arms around Khushi shoulder, he looked at her smiling little sad, "When NK spoiled your reputation in society, I as a father never protected you.. but now, I won't repeat same mistake again.. I will protect you always my bitiya.."

Khushi looked at him sobbing. Arnav rolled his eyes, "Anyways.. I only came here to talk about Payal and Akash's matter.."

Garima was crying not understanding what was happening with her family.

"Which is not going to happen.. Your brother isn't going to get married to my Payal bitiya.. I'm breaking this relationship right now.." Shashi replied angrily.

"Think about it.. One daughter getting divorced and another with broken alliance.. What will society say? Who will marry your daughters after being rejected by Raizadas?" Arnav smirked.

"Bauji why are you doing this with me? I love Akash ji.. Why are you doing this with me Khushi? I always defended you from everyone and now it's my turn and you want to break off my marriage.." Payal cried.

"Shashi have you gone mad? You're believing in this Sanki words.. She's just jealous of Payal bitiya because Payal bitiya also getting married in Raizada family and she's getting divorced.. She will no longer be in that status that's why she want to destroy your blood daughter's happiness.. Bloody orphan..we give her shelter and she wants to destroy our happiness.." Buaji taunted.

Arnav clutched his fist hearing Buaji's words, and he wonders why Buaji talking bad about this woman he hates if affecting him now.

"See Payal.. It's your sister only that doesn't want us to be married.." Akash said innocently with fake tears in his eyes.

"We're leaving.. If you change your decision then call us.. Otherwise they are plenty of girls waiting for Akash.." Nani said and Mami nodded with attitude.

"My decision won't be changed.. so thanks for coming and sorry for wasting your precious time on middle class people like us.." Shashi replied.

"Okay then.. We'll get going.." Arnav sighed and walked to leave with his family leaving a broken Payal, crying Garima and angry Buaji behind.

Arnav stopped on his tracks and turned to Khushi, he walked towards her and took papers out of his coat, handling to her, "Our divorce papers.. read them carefully and sign on it.."

Khushi stare at him with tears flowing from her eyes as she slowly took the papers from his hand.

Rabba vee.. Rabba vee..

Arnav walked to leave from there feeling uneasy and disturbed to see tears in her eyes.

"I hate you Khushi.. I hate you.." Payal ran to her room crying on the way.

"Why you did this? Can't you see my daughter happy? Who will marry her now? First you spoiled our reputation with that NK matter and we are already finding it so difficult to get a good alliance for Payal and now that we found a good boy who loves her and is rich also.. You have problem with that.. why Khushi? I beg you as a mother.. please don't do this.. please let Payal marry Akash bitwa.. please.." Garima begged to Khushi crying.

"Are you happy now? Garima is begging you to get her daughter married.. See this is the consequences of bringing up an orphan.. Today she's making us dance to her tunes.." Buaji looked away angrily.

Khushi shook her head crying, "Amma please trust me.. he's not a good man.. he just wants to play with Jiji's feelings.."

"You're the only one great person in this world hain na? That's why even your husband left you.." Buaji glared at Khushi.

"Enough is enough you both.. Khushi is saying right, she's the one who lives in that house and has better knowledge of Akash is than us.. If she's saying he's not a good man, then he is not.. Why should we risk making Payal marry him to make her suffer later? And I also got suspicious of him.. Why was he in relationship with Payal till now in secret? I'm sure his intentions aren't good also.." Shashi said.

"Khushi where did you spent last night?" Shashi cupped her face.

"In Aman Bhaiya's apartment.." Khushi replied sobbing.

"You seriously don't care about our reputation at all girl.. What will people say you're staying at your husband's PA home? Do you know what people will think about it?" Buaji rolled her eyes.

"He's my bhaiya Buaji.." Khushi replied blinking her eyes.

"Who will explain this to society? They will think that you're having an affair with him.." Buaji scolded.

"Jiji stop it.." Shashi glared at her, then turned to Khushi, "It's better you stay with Aman only, because in this house, they will never let you stay in peace.."

"She destroyed our happiness and it's us who don't let her live in peace.." Buaji rolled her eyes.

Khushi looked down, Shashi sighed sadly feeling pity for his daughter. Holding a divorce papers in her hands, she still has to bear these insults.

"Can I talk with Jiji?" Khushi asked in broken tone to which Shashi nodded.

She went to Payal's room and found Payal crying sitting on the floor. She rushed to Payal and sat beside her, "Jiji please try to understand me.."

"Understand what?" Payal asked rudely.

"Jiji I'm not your enemy.. I always wanted good for you.. Why would I ruin your life? Akash isn't a good man, he just wants to play with you to revenge on me.. because of me, his brother NK got kicked out of the house.. and they wanted to make me feel same pain.. That's why he choose you to break me.." Khushi explained.

"Go away from here.. Just go away.. I don't want to listen to your nonsense.." Payal shouted.

"Jiji.." Khushi looked at her astonished.

"It's good that Arnav ji wants to divorce you.. You only deserve that for breaking others relationships.." Payal glared at her.

"One day you will know why I did this.." Khushi said sadly and walked to leave her room.
