2 weeks later..

Shyam's house:

"I swear Ma, it was my last meeting with Anjali. After that I won't meet her again.." Shyam said and took the news papers laid at the door on the floor.

He returned to his table to sit, and eyed to his mother.

"She is living here Shyam! You will see her everyday.. What was the need to help her stay in that room?" Shyam's mother scolded him.

"Ma how could I see her begging on the roads? That too in front of my shop.. She doesn't have anything Ma.. That's why I gave her that room where no is now.. At least now she has a place to sleep.. She did wrong to me, but I'm not like her.. I won't forgive her, but still I can't behave like I never knew her.. And I just helped her to find a place to stay, she will live her own life alone now.. And I don't care for her anymore.." Shyam said and caressed his sister's hair, he stood up and went to his shop.

While his mother only shook her head in disbelief.

Did he really forgot her?

While on the other side, Anjali woke up and was cleaning her small room, it wasn't her kind of room, this was far from being a Anjali Raizada's room, but now it's her house. She had to adjust in making a corner for the kitchen and then a place to sleep and the bathroom didn't even seem to be one.

It was a horrible place for her when Shyam brought her here, but now she was adjusting with the situation.

She opened the half broken window of the room, and stare at the neighbors screaming with each other to fill the water buckets.

Staring at the sky, she sighed: I'm getting late for work!!

She rushed with her bucket downstairs to fill it for her bath.

Ragini aunty, a lady who is her neighbor and knows about Anjali's life story, smiled at her. Ragini never judge Anjali by her life story, in fact when Anjali shifted to their place, she was already repenting for doing what she did with her brother and Shyam, she needed a shoulders to cry on and express her repentance over her deeds. Ragini offered her, her shoulder. Ragini although angry and upset that Anjali could do something like this to her brother for power and money, and betray her husband. She still had a soft corner for the lady, who showed she was truly repenting for what she did.

Anjali also smiled at her.

Ragini: You're getting late for work, right? Take my bucket and I will fill yours..

Anjali smiled amused, "Thank you so much Ragini aunty.."

The lady nodded and Anjali went upstairs to take a quick shower and head to her struggling life now.

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

Raizada mansion..

Khushi was busy setting Arnav's tie for him while he was busy on the phone with Aman.

"Yesterday Mama ji took Mami ji to a date.. How romantic na!!! New generation doesn't find all this important right?? They are so cute Arnav.. And.." Khushi was busy blabbering to her husband, thinking that he was hearing all the things she said to him.

"Khushi shut up!! Can't you see I'm talking with Aman??" Arnav frowned.

Khushi pouted, she left his tie and walked to leave the room.

Arnav looked at her going, he muttered "What the.." under his breath.

"Khushi come back here!!" he said.

"Nahin-No-No way, talk with Aman alone, you don't need to hear my voice na.." she nodded sideways.

"Who told you that? Look.." he showed to her that he disconnected the call with Aman.

Pointing to his tie, "Arrange my tie now.. You know I won't be able to do without you now.."

She smiled with her pink cheeks, and walked to him again.

Arnav wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her more close to him, while Khushi touched his tie but her fingers came to a halt when he brought her close to him.

"Do you want to go on a date with me?" he whispered in her ear, after gently tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Were you hearing my talks??" Khushi said changing the topic, being so close to him already was giving her dhak dhak and her cheeks were bleeding now!

"Hmm.. I hear everything you say to me. But the things I know makes no sense, I don't reply.." Arnav shrugged his shoulders.

"Aww Laad governor.." she widened her eyes.

Arnav smiled looking at her arranging his tie, murmuring her names to him.

"Laad governor.. Mr.Stone.. Mr.Ignorant.. Rude.." she was glancing at him angrily.

" Wait let me help you with some names too..Tom.. Dracula.. Beast.. Egoistic.." Arnav chuckled.

Khushi: Good that you know your names..

Arnav: There is Laddo too!!

Khushi nodded sideways: Laddo is for my sweet Arnav.. Not this ASR, who ignores me purposely.

She said and gave him his wallet and handkerchief.

"Are you angry with me?" he asked in a soft tone.

Khushi looked at him, she smiled and nodded sideways.

"No, why would I?" Khushi said.

"I thought so.. Are you sure na? You're not angry with me because I said that I don't reply to you?" he asked.

Khushi pinched his cheeks, "No my Laddo.. I know you're kidding with me.."

Arnav hugged her, "I will come to pick you tonight.. We will have dinner outside.."

Khushi hugged him back tightly, "Ok!! Come home soon.."

Both stayed in each other embrace for some minutes, they know they will miss each other now for whole day. Arnav would be busy in office and she would be at home. She misses him a lot when he goes to his office, but she can't stop him all the time from going, she only asked him to stay at the day after holi because she knew he would accept it, but now she can't keep saying for him to stay at home. The truth is that she never wants him to go. While Arnav stays at office, but keep waiting for the time to go back home to see his Khushi. He has

become addicted to her now. Now he can't spend a day without Khushi, he must have at least dinner or lunch or both with her only. He must hear her "Good night" and "Good morning" for him. And he must see her face everyday, otherwise his heart will not be in peace.

Arnav broke the hug, and planted a kiss on her forehead, "I'm going now.."

Khushi nodded and waved to him, he went downstairs to pick Akash and both headed to AR.

Khushi then left their room, and went to Nisha's room.

She found Nisha choosing clothes for herself, there was a strange excitement on her face, which Khushi knew it perfectly what it is.

"Stop doing this Nisha!!" Khushi stood behind her with crossed arms.

Nisha turned to Khushi, "Doing what Khushi?"

"You know I came here to this mansion fully prepared, Nani told me about each one personality here. So you don't need to hide yours from me. I know how Karan, Meera and you are. And I know that you don't see Arnav as a friend, but more than that.." Khushi sat on the bed.

Nisha gulped, still dared to lie: Nothing like that Khushi. Who told you this rubbish? Wait.. Are you feeling jealous of my and Arniee relationship?

Khushi laughed: Really Nisha!! The relationship I share with my husband is more stronger than the one you share with him, why should I be jealous of you?

Nisha: Then what are you saying?

Khushi: Nisha don't lie to me. I know you love Arnav. Nani already told me that you have feelings for him, and you would turn to be my enemy.. That's what I'm seeing.. Nisha aren't you ashamed? You're trying to be his wife!! Do you think you will succeed in it? Never Nisha.. Arnav never thought of you like that.. From the past two weeks, I'm seeing that you're trying to be his wife, I know your every move Nisha and I let you do what you wanted especially to show you that where do you stand in his life, and where I stand.. After being rejected by Arnav so many times, you still try to do this.. Invite my husband to go on a date with you?? Now you crossed your limits Nisha.. And I won't keep quiet now..

Nisha smiled faintly, "I love him and I know Arnav also loves me a lot.. You came in between us and confused him.. He is only with you because he knows Nani choose you for him only.."

"Were you both in a relationship that I came in between you both?" Khushi asked.

"He would have accepted my love for him if it wasn't you to come in our lives and change everything.." Nisha shouted with tears in her eyes.

"If he loved you Nisha, he would have asked divorce from me.. He would say to me to leave from his life because everyone in his family changed according to Nani's last wishes, now he doesn't need me anymore.. What do you think is stopping him? It's clearly his Love for me Nisha. You're the one coming in between our relationship.. I don't want Arnav to lose his friend. So please stop this.." Khushi stood up.

"You're lying.. Arnav.. I know he loves me.. He loves me only.. He never had a friend like me.. I was the only girl close to him in school, then in college and in AR also.. Tell me how can he love you then when he spent more time of his life with me? I know everything about him.. You don't Khushi.. If he says he loves you then it's not true.." Nisha cried.

"Nisha have you gone mad? My best friend is Arjun, with whom I spend my childhood with and grew up with him.. But I don't love him, and never will.. I only love Arnav, the man my heart beats for.. Why are justifying your love for him like this? Who said that because he spend more time with you, he loves you and not me? You know what.. You're forcing his love on you.. Wake up Nisha before it's too late.." Khushi said in disbelief with Nisha's behavior and the way she justified her love for Arnav.

"You don't love Arjun! But Arnav loves me.. He promised to me that he would never leave me.. " Nisha whispered.

"I won't argue with you! Just wanted to say that don't try to snatch my rights from me.. Because I won't keep quiet Nisha.. Every woman fights to save her marriage and I'm no less.. And yeah, stop choosing these clothes so excitedly, because Arnav is going to take me outside tonight.." Khushi said with a determined tone.

Khushi went from there, clenching her fist, this Nisha managed to get her on her nerves.

Nisha quickly called Arnav to confirm Khushi's words.

"Hi Arniee.." she said faking a smile.

"Hi Nishuu.. I'm driving, can we talk later?" Arnav said.

"No! Actually I just wanted to ask if we will go out tonight!? I mean it's confirmed right?" Nisha asked smiling, eagerly waiting for his yes, so that she could prove Khushi wrong.

"Nisha sorry. Tonight I'm taking Khushi to dinner with me outside.. Next time we will go somewhere with Karan, Meera and my Jalebi.." Arnav smiled as he uttered Khushi's name as Jalebi, she calls him Laddo and he called her jalebi, after seeing her love for this sweet.

Nisha stepped back in disappointment, tears blurred her vision.

"But Arniee how can you do this to me? I invited you first.. Why can't you cancel your date with Khushi? Next time you will go with her na.. But today I invited you first.." Nisha argued.

"No Nisha. Khushi comes first for me than anyone else.. And I invited her to go on a date with me, she is my wife.. So it's obvious I will go with her.. Will talk with you later ok!.." Arnav said as he disconnected the call.

"What's wrong with Nisha??" Arnav thought with a confused face.

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

Sweet's shop..

"Miss Anjali you're a Raizada in your place.. Here you're just my employee.. Understand that? I want the laddo to be perfect.. My clients shouldn't complain otherwise I will kick you out of here.." The old lady shouted at Anjali.

Anjali flinched, but still managed to compose herself and nodded her head slowly.

The old lady patted her back in a rude way, "Don't stop!! Keep working.."

Anjali nodded again and continued making laddos with other employees there.

The ladies looked at her with a pity look, they must be wondering everyday why such a rich woman is working here instead of living in her mansion and earn more than she earns here!! Little did they know, she committed a big sin with her brother and her husband.
