Part 17

Next morning:

Everyone assembled at the dining hall for breakfast. Khushi and Payal are arranging on the table. Khushi is observing Payal who din't even spared a glare to her since morning. Even when she wished she din't responded. Shyam left for his tour early morning.

"Khushi Bitiya and Payal Bitiya. Both of you sit down" said Nani to which they both did.

While eating Khushi's thoughts went to her parents. They both looked dull yesterday. She needs to meet them thought Khushi.

"Naniji" called Khushi. Nani and others looked at her.

" Yesterday I couldn't able to talk with Amma and Papa well. so If you accept, I will visit them today" said Khushi.

"What is there a big deal Bitiya ?? You can go and meet them " said Nani.

"Thank you Naniji. I will go and meet them after breakfast" said Khushi to which they nodded.

Just then Arnav entered into the house.

"Chote. From where you are coming ??"asked Anjali. But Arnav went to his room not paying attention to anyone.

Khushi too went upstairs to fetch her bag to go to GH. While she was entering the room, Arnav came out suddenly which resulted in their collision.

Arnav held her by waist and Khushi hold her shoulders for support. Soon Khushi realized their position and moved back.

"Don't you dare to touch me never in your life Mr.Raizada" said Khushi.

"You were going to fall" said Arnav.

"I would rather prefer to fall down than to take your help" said Khushi firmly.

Arnav was now angry and said" Fine then".. he dropped her on to the ground.. Khushi winced in pain and looked at him startled..

So he said" Don't think that I am dying to touch you. Your presence makes no difference to me" and left from there immediately.

IN GH:

Shashi and Garima both are in the hall worried.

"Shashiji. Khushi felt something fishy about us yesterday" said Garima.

"Did you say anything to her ??"asked Shashi.

"NO NO. How can I say ??"said Garima.

Just then door bell rang, Garima went and opened the door. She was surprised to see Arnav at the door.

"Damadji.. aap "said Garima and moved aside to let him come in.. Arnav smiling took her blessings.

"Arnav beta.. You" said shashi surprised. Arnav went near shashi and took his blessings too. Then he sat beside him.

"I will bring something for you" said Garima and was going but Arnav stopped her.

"No Aunty. I need to go immediately. I just came here to give you something" said Arnav.

Both looked at Arnav confused. He took out some papers and gave it to shashi who took them confused.

Shashi was shocked as well as surprised seeing the papers.

"Arnav beta. These are..." shashi stopped while Arnav said " your house and shop's papers. They are again your's uncle. I have paid money to the financier "

Garima too looked at him shocked.

"But Beta. How did you came to know about it ??"asked Garima.

"That's not important aunty. As a son in law of this house, it is my duty" said Arnav.

"But Arnav beta... we are sorry. We can't accept them. " said Shashi placing the papers in Arnav's hands.

"Why uncle ??'asked Arnav.

"Beta. How can we accept something from you. "said shashi hesitating.

"One side you are calling me as beta and in the next minute you are differentiating me uncle. It is my duty as son in law of this house. Son in law is the another form of son..I am thinking as of my parents. If you really think me as son then plz accept this." said Arnav.

Shashi and Garima's tongue tied. Arnav placed them in shashi's hands.

"Arnav beta. Thank you soo much. This house and shop are everything for us. We really thought that we lost our means of life forever. But you gave them back to us" said Garima.

"Aunty. I already said It is my duty" said Arnav" Now. I need to go"

"what ?? But beta you din't take anything" said Garima.

"No aunty. Some other time" said Arnav and went from there.

Garima and Shashi looked at each other smiling while the person at the door shocked as well as surprised. It was none other than Khushi..

Khushi was descending from the auto when she saw Arnav's car stopping infront of her house. He din't observed her and went to her house. Confused why he is in her house, she quickly reached there and listened their conversation. She was shocked when she came to know that their sweet shop and house were on bid. While Arnav is going she hid herself behind the pillar so that he won't see her.

"Amma" said Khushi. Garima and Shashi both looked at their daughter in surprise.

"Khushi.." said both at the same time. Khushi entered into the house.

"Amma. Why din't you said me about our shop and house ??"asked Khushi.

"Khushi Bitiya. You first sit" said shashi and made her sit beside him.

'Khushi. we don't want to give you any tension in your sasural" said Garima.

"So you were alone suffering. But why did you tried to sell it Babuji ?? As far as I know our shop is running well" said Khushi

Shashi and Garima exchanged their glances.

"Leave it naa beta. Now everything is solved. Arnav bitwa returned us the shop and house. We were soo lucky to have him as our SIL. We are very grateful to him " said Shashi.

Khushi kept a sulky face hearing it. She din't want her parents to give the credit to Arnav.

So Khushi said" There is nothing to be grateful for him papa. If Dhruv would have been alive, by now he would have already done it so soon"

Shashi gave a sarcastic smile to her.

"Dhruv is really gem in person. He thinks for everyone " said Khushi.

"Do you really think soo ??"asked Garima. Khushi looked at her mother confused.

"Garima" said Shashi stopping her.

"Shashiji. Don't you think it is the time for her to know the truth" said Garima.

"What truth Amma ??"asked Khushi confused. Garima looked at Shashi as if signaling him to say.

"Beta. It is Dhruv who forced us to sell this house and shop for your marriage" said Shashi calmly.

Khushi looked at her father shocked.

"No NO Papa. Dhruv won't do this. You must definitely have some misunderstanding. " Khushi tried to defend him.

"So you are thinking that we are lying to you" asked Shashi with a painful expression.

"But papa Dhruv............."Khushi is going to say something but stopped by Garima.

"Dhruv, Dhruv, Dhruv. Don't you no other name than him. I can't understand what black magic he had done on you Khushi. Today you are suspecting us. then listen it is the truth that your soo called Dhruv forced us to sell our house and shop. One day he came here and demanded us to arrange marriage in a grand way and he want 50 lakhs as a dowry..When we said we can't afford to such huge amount, he gave us an idea to sell the house and shop or he will break marriage.. It is he who brought buyers to buy our house and shop. Truly speaking, we never like that Dhurv. All our years experience said that he is not a good guy. It is only because of your stubbornness we agreed but not whole heartedly. He never respected us. He only showers respect on us infront of you. If you won't be there he won't even acknowledge us as humans. I can't even forget the day how rudely he behaved with your father. Now here you are supporting that leech. If you want, you can believe or else you can leave from my house" said Garima angrily and went in.

Khushi was dumbstruck hearing her mother. She looked at Shashi who is giving her a look which meant I din't expect this from you.

Shashi went inside to console Garima while Khushi couldn't digest the fact by her mother. She slowly got up and stepped out of the house.

How do you all want punishment of Khushi??
Should forgive her easily as she is unaware of truth??
Or
Should get give her little severe punishment
Or
Should give severe pain

Choice is yours guys..  Don't say me first unite Arshi,  then they both will work on Dhruv.. Because only ASR is capable of doing it
