Khushi walked to go from Mandir, she descended the stairs.

And found him leaned on his car, staring at his wrist watch.

Khushi walked near him, hiding the divorce papers in her purse.

"Arnav.. You? What are you doing here?" she asked him with a slight frown on her face.

"I came to pick you.." Arnav said opening the door of the car for her.

Khushi got in the car, and Arnav took his seat.

"I was waiting for you since long Khushi!! Why do you torture DM with you long list wishes?" Arnav teased her.

Khushi didn't replied to him, she looked at the glass window side of the car, while he was driving.

She was thinking how to tell him about the divorce matter, she knows she will miss him a lot. And she is making sure she cherish these last days with him before telling him about their separation.

"Khushi is everything ok? Are you thinking about the party? You don't have to worry about that Khushi.. I will be with you all the time.." Arnav glanced at a lost Khushi.

"All the time?" she asked him again.

"Yes.. All the time.." he nodded.

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

At 6pm Anjali walked on the silent and isolated roads, lost deeply in her thoughts.

"What will I do now? I have to pay the rent of the house I'm staying in, but now I don't have any money with him.. How could I waste my money without even thinking of the consequences!? And what friends I have.. They showed their real face when I need them the most.. Helped me waste my money with parties, shopping, holidays and trips.. And now that I don't have any money, they turned their backs on me.. No one even accepts me in their company.. What they say? I'm not talented enough!! Like seriously, I didn't had such good marks in college exams, but they could give me any work.. After I'm a Raizada! Now what will you do Anjali? One month is about to end, and I don't have a single penny to pay that woman.. She will throw me out of her house.. And I will be left on the roads to beg.. Nooo.. This can't happen with me.." Anjali cried while walking on the roads.

"Hi pretty woman.." a man on his bike teased her.

Anjali ignored him and went on walking more fast this time.

The man left his bike, and held her hand: Why are you ignoring you lover, pretty woman?

Anjali shoved his hand, getting scared now, she was alone in this dark and isolated road with this man.

"Don't touch me.." she frowned and walked to go.

The man pulled her behind by her arms, "I just touched you now baby.. Who will stop me?"

Anjali slapped him, "I will stop you.. Don't you dare touch me again.."

The man groaned in anger, no girl dared to slap him like that.

He pushed Anjali, and she fell on the road, getting hurt on her elbow.

"Ouch.. ahh.." Anjali cried in pain.

The man smirked, and came near her.

Anjali touched her wound, and looked at the man coming to her, his intentions weren't good and she felt that.

"Help mee... Is anyone hereeee? .. Help meee.." she looked around trying to spot someone on the place to help her.

"No one will come here darling.. No one.. Means no one will interrupt our romance.." he said with a dreamy look.

Anjali gulped scared, she tried to get up, but failed miserably because her knee also was hurt, it was bleeding now.

"No..please don't do this.." she nodded sideways to the man crying.

The man laughed and sat near her, grabbing her hand, he tried to kiss her.

Anjali tried to push him, beating him with her hands, but he didn't gave up and cupped her face now to kiss her on her lips.

She stare at the wood stick behind him laying on the road, to protect her dignity, she quickly grabbed the stick and beat him on his back.

The man screamed in pain, and left her to touch his back.

Anjali got up with difficulty and started running from there.

The man glared at her, then ran behind her, using abusive language to her.

Anjali cried when she turned back and saw him still coming to her. She was hell scared of what will happen to her, and who will help her. No one was there, and this man didn't left her at any cost.

She suddenly hit with something, and was about to fall again on the road, but two strong arms catch on her time.

She sighed in relief, and looked up to plead help from the person.

"This man is following me.. Please help me.. He wanted to force on me..please do something..please help me.." she said sobbing.

When her eyes landed on the man still holding her by her arms. She looked shocked.

"Sh-yam.." she whispered his name.

Shyam without staring at her, arranged her sari's pallu and made her stand behind him.

He looked at the man with eyes burning in anger, taking fast steps. Shyam reached to the man, and punched him hard on that man's face, then clutched the man's shirt collar.

"How dare you force a woman? Aren't you ashamed to be a man? Who gave the right to touch her? Ahn.. I will kill you.." Shyam yelled at him.

"Heyy who are you? Police officer? Why are you getting so hyper? Is she is your sister? No right? Why are you wasting your time on her? Leave this woman for me bhaii.. Then if you want.." the man said.

Shyam slapped him on his face, and didn't let him complete his sentence.

Anjali flinched in disgust with his words.

"She is my wife!" he gritted his teeth.

Shyam clenched his fist and hit on the man's face hard.

So hard, that he was bleeding on the corner of his lips, and his cheek swollen.

The man became scared of Shyam, he tried to run away, but Shyam pulled him back and started beating him more.

Anjali clutched her sari scared, "Shyam..don't fight with him.." she cried.

He heard her voice, and left the man on the road.

Then turned to her, "Don't think I'm your friend, I just did my duty to save a woman's dignity.. And yeah, do remember when you did the same thing to another woman Khushi, that day no one was for her, still she saved herself alone.. But today, I was here for you.. See after so many sins you did, God is great.. He still send me to help you.."

Anjali looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Thank you Shyam.."

Shyam looked away, and started going.

Anjali looked at him going.

He looked back, "Do you need special invitation to come? Let's go, I will drop you to your home.. Or you need phone to call Yuvraj? Call him and ask him to pick you!"

Anjali took baby steps to him, "I will go with you.."

"Call him! Here is my phone.. Or you can't bear to stay and touch a poor man like me?" he asked to her sarcastically.

Now it pricked her heart hearing him say that. Yuvraj and her friends kicked her out of their lives, and she kicked him out, HE.. The man who never left her in any situation.. HE.. The man who always knew how to handle her.. HE.. The man who always took his time for her, when she needed him.. HE.. The man who would never leave her hand..

"I'm not with Yuvraj.." it was more like an embarrassed whisper from Anjali.

Shyam looked at her shocked, still he mentally decided not to interfere in her life. After helping her reach home, he would go to his life and not think about her and her life. She knows better what she does.

Shyam went forward, and Anjali followed him wiping her tears away.

"You will never forgive me for doing wrong to you Shyam.. I know it.. It was my bad luck, that I lost such a man like you and went behind that loser who only wanted power, status and money from me.. I wish I never married you and spoil your life like that.. You never did any wrong to me.." she thought staring at him walking while checking his phone.

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

Arnav checked his phone, and messaged the three ladies to come out of RM.

No one responded to his message.

"Unbelievable" Arnav whispered.

"Did you really messaged Meera? She is always with her phone.." Karan whined.

"Karan shut up.. First I send a message to Khushi, then Meera, and last Nisha.. No one replied to me.. What can I do? They must be busy with make up and all.." Arnav rolled his eyes.

While inside the mansion, in Arshi room, Khushi sat on the bed wearing her earrings.

"Let me keep this divorce matter for three days later.. Because it will be Holi and I want to at least enjoy our first Holi after marriage with you Arnav.. On that day, I will tell you about our divorce and finally free you from this marriage.. And I will go back with our memories.." she thought staring at nothing in particular.

Nisha and Meera came to her room.

"Khushi..let's go.." Nisha said waking Khushi from her dream land!

Khushi nodded plastering a smile on her face, and then went away from her room with Nisha and Meera.

The three walked out of RM.

Karan sighed in relief, when he saw them coming.

"There they are.." he patted Arnav's shoulder.

Arnav whose attention was on his phone, shifted his eyes from his dear phone and stare at his wife coming towards his car.

The moment his eyes met with her, it stayed glued to her! He was speechless with her beauty again, and she really managed to make him open his mouth awed by her!

Karan went to the back seat purposely to let Khushi sit with Arnav.

"You three are looking gorgeous" Karan complimented the girls, and opened the door for Meera and Nisha.

Arnav quickly composed himself and went fast to open the door for Khushi, not letting any chance for Karan to do his duty.

Karan pouted at his possessive friend, who didn't let him open the door for his bhabhi!!

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

"This is where I live.." Anjali quickly said pointing to a house.

Shyam was surprised, but he composed himself and nodded.

"I'm not even interested to know.. Bye.." he said sternly and started walking to his home.

"Shyam.. " she called him.

Shyam sighed and turned to her, "What?"

"Thank you for saving my life.." she blinked her eyes.

Shyam didn't say anything and left from there.

Anjali walked inside the house, thinking about him and how he saved her life today.

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

Reaching at the hall of the party, Arnav wrapped his arms around Khushi protecting her from the media. He led her inside and behind both, came Karan with Meera and Nisha.

"Khushi are you really ok? You're behaving strangely today.." he asked with a worried tone. Khushi nodded: I'm fine. What would happen to me?

Arnav: I don't know.. But I feel you're not like my Jerry today..

Khushi: It's your imagination only.. I'm like I am everyday.. Nothing changed in me..

Arnav nodded: If you say so! Come let me introduce you to Mr.Khanna and others..

He held Khushi's hand, taking her to his business partners.

"Why do you want to introduce them your wife when you don't consider her one?" Khushi asked him plainly.

Arnav stopped walking, he slowly turned his head to her.

"Still it doesn't change that you're MY WIFE.." he replied stressing the last two words to her.
