I looked at Aarav as we entered the house. he's smiling wildly as he talks with sheetal ji.. telling her about his experience of playing with chote.

then I looked at chote who was looking around probably finding Khushi ji. Khushi ji wasn't there at the basketball court. even though the basketball court is at the back side of RM , I still noticed his anxious self on the way to just the living room.

I sighed!

I realised my chote is too slow to realise what he has done!!

Even though I'm taking part in the conversation of every family member with sheetal ji and aarav , I do realise one thing that our family is again taking Khushi ji for granted.

my heart is always pierced with thousands of knives every time I see her smiling even though there is a storm inside her.

who will take it laying down that her husband is so busy with his Ex-girlfriend and her family is comparing her husband with his husband's ex-girlfriend 's Son!!?

I remembered when my so called Ex-husband was so into Khushi ji.. that he was so bent on conveying to everyone that Khushi ji is seducing him , just so that we hated her and he got the chance to get her.

and I was so in love with that man , that I just jumped into his woven net.. I still feel guilty that whatever pain and accusations Khushi ji faces was just because of me.

and I was actually finding ways to mend my mistakes and now I think it's time to encourage Khushi ji to take stand for her. so that chote doesn't do something which can never be mend.

I have been noticing him ignoring Khushi ji, even though it was unintentionally but still I can feel that Khushi is not the way she wase, A colorful ' Titali ' that fly cheerfully around and spread colours of happiness.

I needed to talk with Khushi ji so that she won't slip into darkness and stand for herself. it's High time she makes her heart stronger not to forgive chote so easily..

I looked at chote who stopped going towards his room in mid as he received a call.. he looked at the direction of his room and then his mobile forea while then walked towards side way to attend his call..

I looked around and saw Mami busy with her touch up and Nani and sheetal talking with Aarav. and in between I saw sheetal’s eyes on chote.

I felt it was very suspicious!!

I turned away and limped towards chote’s Room and as I entered I saw Khushi ji siting on the recliner with a Drawing pad with some pencil Colors spreading on the table next to her.

her hands move with rythmatically a little rusty in the beginning but then it was automatically comes to way where her hands flow like a magic. her eyes twinkling, which I was missing since sheetal ji come to our house.

I walked towards her without disturbing her and stood behind her and what I saw makes me gasp but I cover my mouth. I don’t want to disturb her with this. she’s happy after a quite a long time.

•AARAV•

I’m so happy today..

I spent time with mom and dad Both..

it was like a dream coming true to enjoying a day with my whole family. I wish to be like this, forever.

i actually felt it’s worth it to behave like my dad. I felt like I was losing myself. though I missed eating
‘ Laddu ‘ , ‘ Chocolate ‘ and spicy things but anyways , mom has promised that it was only till she married to dad.

but I don’t understand why Will mom marry dad , if he has Khushi aunty already!?

My teacher taught me that two marriages are not allowed in our law. So why!!?

•SHEETAL•

I Smirked as I realised that Khushi was not in front of me and others.

it felt so great that I’m not seeing her. she’s just a ‘ Behenji ‘ and she dare to snatch my Arnav from me!!

Hahh!!

what a stupid she’s to think that!!?

Don’t think that just because I was just away from my love for some years and she will have a chance to get him!!

huh!!

No way!!

never!

he belongs to me, not him but his family and his property too..

I’ll take everything that belongs to me from you Khushi, just wait and watch..

•PAYAL•

I sighed as Akash ji didn’t attend my call.. after coming back from basketball court, he left for AR immediately, without even informing..

i realised we are just loosing the spark of those newly wedded couples.. it felt so strange that your husband doesn’t have time for you and even ignored his mother taunting his wife every now and then.

what about those promises he had made before our marriage!!?

was it just words for him!?

and he didn’t meant it!

ahh!

it’s so painful when your dream broke..

having a perfect family and married life is everyone’s dream, but I think I’m not made for to live in my dream..

I released a painful sigh as I took the folded clothes from the bed and walked towards cupboard to keep it in it..

•KHUSHI•

it’s quite a long time that I never took my colour pencils to draw my designs that’s why I was little rusty at the beginning but as I kept going my hand started to move like clouds on the white drawing pad in my hands..

it’s so refreshing doing what I love after a very long time.

I was my habit since I’m young to draw my own designs on that blank page to fill it with colours. I even chose fashion designing after my 12th but due to the financial situation of my family I had to leave my studies before even the completion of the first semester.

but now I felt like that my painful heart is applied with soothing Cream, which not only gives me freshness but also reliving me from that pain. the wound still need time to heal but for the time being it’s not paining.
