Raizada Mansion , Delhi

         The house is glowing  like a new bride with flowers and lights. After all today eldest son   and the heir of Raizada clan, Arnav Sing Raizada is going to marry her lady love Khushi Kumari Gupta. It is going to be the most happening marriage of this year. All t.v. channels are buzzing with this news only. Their ASR, as Arnav known to the business world, at last, going to lose his bachelorhood.

                         But the man himself is now devoted to any kind of happiness.  The words uttered by his dadi Subhadra Devi are still ringing in his ears. He just can’t understand what’s going so wrong that his every dreams about his new life, a life full of happiness with his personal happiness, his Khushi, is now shattered in pieces like the broken showpieces of his room, which he broke just now to control his anger .  Why does the life has be so cruel with him? How could they do it with him? How can Aunty whom he loved and respected not less than his own mother is the OTHER WOMAN OF HIS FATHER’S LIFE? And Khushi ? What if she knew everything from begining and decided to hide it from him ? 

               FLASHBACK

          Arnav is getting ready in his room. A soft smile is playing in his lip by thinking about his pagal and childlike to be wife. Oh how much he loves to see her blushing like a red tomato  for him. And her nose ... Her that little red nose always a treat for his eyes. Uff he just can’t wait for tonight, when finally after lots of drama he will make her as his ... For eternity. There will be no more misunderstanding ... or any contact between  ... Finally, happiness is knocking on his door. But little did he knew that he is expecting happiness too early to be true .

                      But his trance is broken by a sudden voice, a voice which he least expected this time.

“ So you are still adamant to marry that girl? “ Dadi, who enters in this room ask him.

           He closes his eyes with irritation . This confront is the last thing he wants now ... Atleast not in this happy moment .

“ Dadi the girl you are talking about has some name.  Moreover, she is my wife. So I expect some respect for her from you. “ Arnav replies in a strong voice.

“ Dadi …. “ roars ASR not able to bear the insult of his lady love.

“ Don’t shout Arnav. I think you forget how to respect your elders. Now leave the topic and back to point.  I don’t want that you marry that girl Arnav. She is nothing but the only cause of your family’s sufferings. “ Dadi orders him.

“ Enough dadi. Not a word more about this topic. I already made it very clear that  I want to marry Khushi and I will marry her with or without your blessings. “ Comes Arnav’s sharp reply.

“ Arnav don’t you love your mother now? Does the love for that girl who does not deserve you overpowered the love for your mumma? “ Dadi wants to know suddenly.

                  Arnav just cannot able to understand why dadi suddenly changes the topic.

“ Dadi why are you dragging my mumma here? And whether I love her or not, I don’t think I need to give you an explanation about it. “ Arnav replies slowly.

“ No Arnav you does not love your mumma anymore. That’s why you are ready to marry the daughter of YOUR MOM’S MURDERER. “ Dadi suddenly blasts a bomb in the room.

“ What are you saying ? Just because you don’t like Khushi and her family, don’t blame them in this way. “ He replies back .

“ I know Arnav you will not believe me. So here is the proof. Look at the picture. She is the other woman Arnav who seduced my son. She is the reason your mother committed suicide Arnav. She is the reason of your di’s first broken marriage. And now here her daughter is trying to break her second marriage also. She is just a characterless girl like his mother Arnav. Now tell me do you still want to marry that girl Arnav who is carrying the blood of your momma's  murderer? “ Dadi plays her final card successfully

    
           By looking the state of Arnav she is sure that her arrow already hit on the bull’s eye. Now she does not need to do anything. Arnav himself will throw that girl from his life.

 “ No, it cannot be true. I am sure Khushi must not know any of this. “ Arnav replies in a slow voice. 

“ Arnav just think with your brain, not with your heart. You already told me she is from Lucknow. How comes she do not know about you? About us? I am sure her mother only sent her to you to accomplish what she cannot able to do 14 years ago. That is the status of Malik Bahu   “ Dadi replies by adding fuel in already burning heart of Arnav and left the room.

              FLASHBACK ENDS

                   Arnav just does not know what to do.  He looks at the picture in his hand and closes his eyes. The haunted memory of 14 years ago start to come in front of his eyes like some film.  The gunshots ... The cold bodies of his parents, his sister’s broken marriage, the gossiping of local people, his uncle is throwing them from their own house, her sister’s broken states and his lost childhood ... He remembers all.

        Arnav starts to feel suffocate even in his air conditioned room . He badly needs some freash air. So he starts to go outside just to cool his already rigging heart a little . 

         Suddenly he stops infront of a room . Something stopped  his legs . He is shocked .. the helpless ,like  14 years ago night when his mother commited sucide and he was nothing but a silent audience , starts to come back again . Taking a U-turn he again enters in his room and closes his eyes helplessly . 

                      After sometimes  he opens his eyes with a jerk. He already makes his decision. And like previous times he again comes to conclusion without listening both sides of the story.  Little does he know he will going to regret this decision like never before.

    KHUSHI'S P.O.V.

                           Today I am going to marry the person I love more than anything. My laadgovorner ... My Arnavjee .. This time with full rituals. I still can't believe Arnavjee is ready to perform every ritual from roka to visit  Kul Devi mandir with me, just because I love them and he loves me. If before few days someone told me Mr.Arnav Sing Raizada is going to fall in love with me then I will surely advise him to go and visit a physiatrist. But today it feels like a dream coming true for me. A dream once I thought never going to fulfill but he is making this true. 

                                                       
                      Suddenly my eyes fall on the girl in the mirror. She is blushing like some red tomato in her wedding lehenga. Red, his favorite color ... My eyes fall on my hand, which is now fully cover with mehndi.  Though it is not as deep as I want but still I know my Arnavjee will love me most. I pick the chudies gifted by him long times ago to wear. 

               KHUSHI'S P.O.V. ENDS

 " Aha ." Khushi cries suddenly.  As one chudi break and it pinches her soft skin.

" Khushi .. Khushi what happened? " Payal, who is coming to see her younger sister asks worriedly. 

" Jiji this chudi ... it is broken .. how can it? It was gifted by him .. What if something bad happens to him? I need to talk .. I need to talk with him. " Khushi replies and tears start to fall from her eyes.

                    
She tries to call him but his phone is coming switched off.  She can feel her world is crashing down. Her heart starts to tell her something bad is going to happen. What if her Arnavjee. no no she can't live without him. She will die if anything ...

" Khushi calm down. Everything will be okay. Maybe Arnavjee is busy in dressing. So he can't able to take the call. Don't worry and stop crying . or else you will look horrible in your own marriage. " Payal replies back.

" But Jiji ..... " Khushi tries to say something but suddenly she hears something unusual. 

  " Dadijee ... dadijee yeah? " She asks with confusion .

     Her heart is now beating very fast . she has feelings about something bad. She comes out from her room as soon as possible.  Her eyes fall on the madop which is now completely decorated for her marriage. Everyone is there except only one person, her Arnavjee.

" ARNAV IS NOT COMING. STOP THIS MARRIAGE ." Dadijee announces suddenly.

                        Khushi can feel the ground from her under is slipping little by little. And before she can understand anything the darkness welcome her. But before she touches the ground she can feel the well-known hand saves her. 

" Arnavjee " She whispers slowly before closing the eyes.  But already she saw a pair of eyes looking at her   the dark brown eyes are now devoted to any affection or love. Only hate is there ...

To be continued .......
