Raizada Mansion

.

Since the engagement fiasco, Khushi never even has glanced at Arnav. She became silent. She comes out of their room only if required. Arnav tried his maximum to talk to her, but she never picked his call or talks to him in person. She is not conversing with anyone except for her buddies.

.

Breakfast time

.

Sheetal, Shyam and Anjali walked towards the table with a winner's smile. Sheetal intentionally sat next to Arnav's seat. Arnav walked down the stairs to watch Sheetal sitting next to his chair. He walked towards the table and sat near NK. This irked Sheetal. She watched him keenly and followed his line of vision and saw Arnav gazing at Khushi. Sheetal fumed seeing this. 

Sheetal :  Hey Khushi!!!! Your exams are over right?  

Khushi stared at Sheetal and just nodded her head.  

Sheetal : Don't you think you are overstaying your welcome here?  

All gasped at her statement...  

Arnav clenched his fist and was about to answer her but was cut by Aditi.  

Aditi : Who the hell are you to order my friend and ask her to go from here, huh? Keep your ruling reserved for your so-called fiance. Don't try to rule us, Ok. I warn you. It won't be good for you, Sheetal.  

Anjali : Adi !!! Is this the way to talk to your bhabhi?  

NK : Bhabhi my foot... We don't consider her as bhabhi. If Arnav is no longer our brother then how can she be our bhhaabhiii...  Mrs Anjali Jha? 

Arvind : Aditi and NK, mind your language. Sheetal bitiya is family and she has all the rights to take any decision of this family.  

NK : To hell with the right. Saying this, he walked out of the room dragging Khushi and Aditi trailing along. 

Akash : If that's the case, Bade Papa we are so sorry. We are not in for this drama anymore. I am moving out from here with my family. Amma, Papa...  If you can, please come with us. Anyway, Payal, NK, and I are moving out with Khushi.  

Hearing this Ratna intervened...  

Ratna : What are you saying beta? You are moving out for this small issue? We are a family beta. Inside the family, there may be so many differences in opinions, but that doesn't mean that you move out of your own house for a silly issue.

Akash : This may be a silly issue for you all, Badi ma. But this is not silly for us. At least not for Aditi, NK, Payal, and me. She insulted my sister. We won't tolerate it. 

Ratna : But beta, Sheetal is a part of our family now. 

Akash : Sheetal maybe everything for you all but not for us. I don't know about ASR but for us, if an outsider comes and rules us we can't accept it. And Ms Sheetal!!! Talk with respect when you talk with my sister, Khushi, or about her. I won't tolerate any insult towards her like others. He said looking at Arnav. 

Anjali : Chotte!!! See... Your brother is insulting your fiance, and you are not defending her? 

Arnav : Firstly I am not your Chotte, Mrs Anjali Jha. Secondly, it was a forced engagement and you don't force me to reveal the circumstances. Third and most important one... Sheetal is no one here. She may be my fiance to the whole world but not for me. For me, she is no one. This is my house and no one except my siblings, Khushi and Aman have any voice to take a decision here from now onwards.
Especially you, Mrs Ratna Raizada. You lost all the rights which you had in this house and my life forever. So I don't even want to hear your's or your so-called husband's opinions hereafter. Be within your limit otherwise, you will know who the real ASR is... He said looking at his mother with hatred and climbed the stairs to his room.

Shyam : What the hell is this? Why is Sale Saab behaving like this to us? This is too much.

Akash : Then what do you expect from him? Did you expect him to hold your sister's hand and dance on old Bollywood songs?

Manorama : Akash!!! He is your Jiju... Talk with respect.

Akash : Yeah right " Jiju". Who made his wife a pawn to get his sister engaged to a rich man by forcing him. I hate myself to call him Jiju. And Amma, respect should be earned not forced.

Aman stepped inside the house watching the verbal fight between Akash and Shyam.

.

Arnav's Room

.

Arnav is tensed at the thought of Khushi's departure.

Arnav self-talks : I hope my Khushi doesn't take Sheetal's words seriously. Oh my god, I have to clear this mess soon. What to do now? My baby is not even looking at me. I hurt her beyond the limit. Will I ever get a chance to talk to her, to clear the misunderstanding?

His thoughts were broken by the knock at his door.

He opened the door and found Aman at his door. He suddenly hugged him.

Aman : Arnav relax!!! What's happening here, man? Downstairs, when I came there was a verbal fight going on between Akash and Shyam.

Arnav : I don't know anything Aman. I feel like ending this life.

Aman : Chup... What are you saying? Have you thought of Khushi once? Will she survive without you?

Arnav : My Khushi... My Jaan... I miss her Aman... She is not even looking at me. I miss her a lot of Aman... If she moves out hearing Sheetal's taunt, how will I see her? How will I know about her wellbeing? She will go away from me. It's better to die than separation Aman. I won't survive without her.

Aman : You try to talk to her. She understands you better.

Arnav : My Khushi is hurt, Aman. Hurt beyond repair. Have you ever seen her silent? You know it has been three days since I listened to her voice. She is not even talking to Adi. What did I make her Aman? Arnav hugged Aman and cried his heart out.

Aman : Arnav!!! You go down and solve that issue otherwise it will go out of hand.

Aman dragged Arnav downstairs. There Shyam and Akash were having a verbal fight.

Arnav : Enough!! What's happening here? Akash what's the problem?

Akash : Didn't you hear? Your fiance wants my sister to move out from here. If she moves out Payal, Nanhe and I will move out with Amma and Papa.

Arnav : This is your house, Akash. Why are you listening to an outsider?

Arvind : Sheetal bitiya is not an outsider.

Sheetal: I don't like that middle-class girl here.

Arnav : Ms Jha. Who the hell are you to order my family? You are just a guest here. Behave like one.

Anjali : Chotte!!! Sheetal is your fiancee. Don't talk to her like that.

Arnav : You shut up Anjali.

Anjali kept quiet at his outburst.

Arnav : Khushi will stay here only. I don't need any discussion regarding this. Saying this, he turned to go back to his room then,

"I am moving out today", a voice came from behind. He turned and looked at the source of that voice with utmost love.

Arnav : It's not needed Khushi. Nobody will say anything to you. Please stay. He pleaded.

Khushi : I am sorry. I already booked my tickets, and my chauffeur is on the way to pick me up... Thank you for allowing me to stay here. I will always cherish the memories.

Akash : Bacha!!! It's not needed. We can stay together outside RM too...

Khushi : No Bhai. I don't want you to go away from your family because of me. We will be in touch, Bhai. Don't worry... Saying this, she walked back to her room.

Arnav stood rooted at the spot hearing her. The thought of her going away from him made him insane.

Arnav's Room

Aman : Arnav!!!! Be calm... Don't panic... You are hyperventilating man. Calm down.

Arnav with glassy red eyes: Calm down??? Do you have any idea what I am going through Aman? She is going... My Jaan... My baby is going away from me... You are asking me to calm down? Here my life is squeezed out of me, and you want me to calm down?

Aman : Relax relax... He gave water to Arnav. "Drink it and think about what to do next to stop her."

Arnav : Aman!!! Help me na... I am not able to think properly. I can't live without her Aman. She is my life. Please help me to get an idea to get her back Aman. Please...

Aman : You go and talk to her, man.

Arnav : I can't... I can't Aman... I can't see hate in my Khushi's eyes. You are not understanding that. In this circumstance, she won't believe me. She saw me exchanging rings with Sheetal for god sake, Aman. Do you think she will tolerate that? I deceived her Aman. Whatever the justification it may be, I shouldn't have done that. Do you have any idea what she might have gone through seeing me with Sheetal? You all know only the chirpy, happy go lucky girl Khushi.
But I know the possessive, obsessive and strong Khushi. You don't know her possessiveness towards me. She is so hurt to forgive me, Aman. I don't want her to forgive me for the sin I did to her. But the thought of being away from her is killing me, Aman.

Aman : Mmm... But I suggest you, let her go.

Arnav horrified : What!!! Did you hear what you said Aman? She is going to Mumbai. She won't come back.

Aman : It's better na... Mumbai is not so far for ASR. You can go and woo her na.

Arnav : No Aman... My heart is giving me negative vibes. The feeling of losing her. I can't Aman.

Aman had never seen Arnav so vulnerable and defeated. He felt helpless.

Arnav : How can I let her leave, Aman? I cannot live without her. I'm selfish in this matter. I love her. I love her more than anything in this world. I need her to live my life. I know I was an Idiot to bend on their demands. But, I can't stay without her. Arnav choked, his tear wetting his cheeks.

Aman's heart broke looking at his best friend in such a way. He looked exhausted.

Aman : You relax for some time. Let me go and check on her.

.

After sometime

.

Arnav heard a knock on his door.

" Khushi!!!!" He called her with utmost love and amusement and ran towards her. He didn't expect her to come to his room after what he did...

Khushi looked at Arnav. He was worn out completely. The charm which he had is lost. Eyes are puffy and red. There are dark circles around his eyes. He even lost weight within these few days.

Khushi : Eeerrr... Can I come in?

Arnav : You are asking for permission? Don't do this to me, Jaan...

Khushi : Excuse me... I am not your Jaan anymore. If you forgot, you are committed now............... to another woman.

Arnav : Khushi, please. Please don't misunderstand me. I can explain it. Please listen to me.

Khushi : There is no misunderstanding here, Arnav. Now everything is cleared. I didn't come to discuss that. I came to hand over these keys to you.

Arnav : Why?

Khushi : What why? It's your room and locker's key. Why should I keep it now? No one.

Arnav : Are you a no one to me, Khushi? He asked emotionally...

Khushi : Aren't I? Fine, you say who am I to you?

Arnav : Jaan!!! You are my everything.

Khushi : Lie... I am nothing but an option for you. You took my love for granted. You chose your family over me and my love. You insulted my love. Now please don't show your fake love to me, Arnav. You were just time passing with me... Using me... When it comes to marriage, you opted for another girl who met with your status and reputation, right?
I was a fool to believe you and love you unconditionally. Now I am happy that I didn't fall in your trap. She placed the keys on his table. I am giving back whatever you gave me. I am leaving Delhi and your life forever.

Arnav : Please don't go... Please don't leave me and go, Khushi...Please... I beg you...

Khushi : No Arnav. I have to go. We don't belong together.

Arnav : Baby please don't say that. We belong together. I am yours... Only yours Khushi. I can't live without you, baby... Please baby... I will clear all this mess. Khushi please try to understand. I was trapped, by Amma and Di...

Khushi : Trapped? And you? You are not a kid Arnav... You are the head of this family, who has the power to make the decisions here? And you are telling me that you are trapped? Do you want me to believe that? Whatever... You chose someone else over me... And got engaged with her... Now it's of no use to talk about it... Anyway, thank you for showing me my worth... Don't worry I will be gone from your life soon... I have no grudges against you. Maybe at the last minute, you had a second thought... Why do you need to marry a middle-class girl according to everyone when a sophisticated rich girl Sheetal is on the line... You chose the profitable one... Business mind... Huh... Great...
Anyway, thank god that our marriage didn't happen. You may regret it later. Anyway, you don't worry... Everything will be normal as soon as I go from here... I was a fool to believe you, to love you... But it's okay... I will overcome this and move on... My life doesn't end here na... Bye then.

Saying this, she turned to go then stopped and turned back.

Khushi : Congrats on your new life, Mr Raizada...

Saying this, she walked out of the room leaving a corpse-like Arnav in his room. Only the tears from his eyes were the evidence that he is alive.

Two days later

.

Sidharth's Villa

Sidharth : What the hell is happening, Doll? Why did you go to Mumbai? Why didn't you tell me about it when I called?

Khushi : Sidhu!!! Please calm down... I wanted to see Dad and Mom. You said you will reach today so I came back on the morning flight.

Sidharth : This much happened... And you didn't even give me a hint? Why Khush?

Khushi : I didn't want you to worry, Sidhu. Let it be... Leave it na... For me... Please...

Sidharth pulled Khushi into his embrace...

Sidharth : I know my Doll... Don't worry ok... Now I am here na... I will clear everything...

First I want to talk to that ASR...

Khushi : No Sidhu... It's his life... He chose what was good for him... Leave this matter here for me... He was indeed trapped by his mom, sister and brother in law.

Sidharth : If you know the truth, then why did you leave him?

Khushi : I am mad at him...

Sidharth chuckled hearing that. He hugged his baby doll and patted her hair... He made her lay on the bed and tucked her in... Giving a kiss on her forehead, he walked out of her room...

Sidharth over the phone

Sidharth : Yeah, it's me... I want full details of ASR's brother in law and his family. I need every minute detail in two days. He ends the call.

Sidharth : No one will go easily after hurting my Doll. Mr Shyam...You will never know what's gonna hit you... The countdown starts... ASR we are gonna meet soon. He smirked evilly.
