Chapter 2

Arnav singh raizada is the world famous business tycoon and achieved everything in a short spam of time. He is arrogant and heartless with lot of ego and attitude and he will make sure he got everything he desire either by hook or crook. He don't give any damn to any emotion that make him weak. The word L-O-V-E. don't exist to his dictionary. He is an orphan, lost his parents in a small age and living with siblings in Mumbai with his brother Akash, who is studying in Delhi university and sister, Anjali living with him in a same roof. Arnav love his family a lot and never show his rude side to them. His whole life revolve around them and he can go any extent to make them happy. Currently, his di has only one ambition to see her chotte settled in life. 

He had many affairs in past and used them for pleasure. No girl capable to be his wife except lavanya. He is committed to lavanya from past 5 years and believe she is the only girl deserving to be his wife and no one take her place. Certainly, she have heard in news channels about his rapport with models yet she denied to accept the fact as she don't want to loose him and blindly faith him. Even khushi and karan warning won't affect her. Many times khushi made an attempt  to alerted her in past about his ill behavior toward her but Lavanya denied saying it could be her misunderstanding as she trust him more than her best friend. However, khushi had no proper evidence against him to prove him wrong so she give up at last. 
Money and attitude was his biggest weapon and he believe he can buy any freaking girl by throwing any price. Every girl was in his feet by his one look except one. KHUSHI GUPTA! She entered in his life when lavanya introduce them in her birthday party one year ago. The moment he saw khushi, he is mesmerized by her beauty and wanted her at any cost. Girls were ready to go to any extent to spend time with him but for khushi those closeness meant nothing and that was a huge blow to his big fat ego. However, he tried to kiss her same night who had so much attitude. It made her furious and she did something beyond his imagination by hurting his ego. The rejection was something he cannot tolerate. He started hating her from that moment and made a plan to revenge her and to bring her down on her feet.
Present!
There was a breaking headlines- The handsome hunk of Mumbai was breaking heart of several girls by getting engaged with his girlfriend lavanya kashyap In TODAY'S EVENING AT five star HOTEL SUNSHINE.
Khushi came out from her trace when the karan's SUV reached the destination. He saw her staring at the newspaper with unreadable expression and put his hand on her shoulder to sooth her.
''Are you okay?'' She gave him a little smile and moved out from the car.
''Karan you stay here..i will be back in a moment..''
''Khushi stop!'' He tried to stop her as she was finding difficult to walk but khushi already crossed the road and went to meet an unknown girl. He had never seen this girl before. Who is she? And why khushi bribing this girl..for what?
''So are you ready?..'' khushi gave a bundle of notes to her and narrated her everything what she had to do.
''Don't worry mam..i won't disappoint you?'' Khushi nodded with seriousness on her face. After exchanging few words, she left and khushi walked back and took the seat beside him in the car. She seems so calm and relax that make him strange. He thought the news of arnav and lavanya distraught her but No! She looks so determined and stronger. Her changed behavior surprised him. He keep looking at her to examine the reason but failed. There was a glint of rage and fire in her eyes which he rarely come across.
''Are you alright!'' He asked worriedly holding her hand. ''What are you planning? I hope you are not doing anything stupid..'' Khushi broke the silence after few minutes and glance him back. She didn't hide anything from him and told everything making him astonished.
''Are you nuts khush..Its not so easy..he is very powerful and and if he got a little hint about your plan...he won't think twice before harming you and in no way I would allow you to risk yourself..its so dangerous..''
''He is dangerous but I can't give up without fighting I have to fight against him even if I am defeated I won't give up and let him spoil lavanya life as well..'' She decided but yet he look unconvinced. She try to convince him.
''Karan jis raste main hum chal padi hu vaha se vapas lautna namumkin hain..usne ek ladki toh kamjori ka faida uthake bahat badi galti ki hain aur hum aisa hone nahi denge..please hame mat roko..'' (I admit The way I choosen for myself is so difficult but its impossible to back off now..he did biggest mistake by taking advantage of my innocence..please don't stop me..'' ) He nodding in understanding realizing the intensity of pain that wounded her completely and this is the only way to get over of it. Khushi knew her next step would probably hurt lavanya but she had no option taking such step.
                                       ******
''Hello..'' The ringtone of lavanya's mobile echoed in the entire room and she ran to picked it up in one ring looking at the owner of the person.
''Hello sweat-heart..so all set to become Mrs raizada'' She smiled.
''Yup..! umm..Asr I m missing you..! She smiled gazing at her mehndi.
''If that so then why you denied to get engaged at first place..'' There was a pin drop silence by her end. He was waiting her to reply and finally she did that rose him into his feet.
''Because khush is unwell and I don't want to leave her when she need me so much..'' Hearing her name, he clenched his fists and lost all the damn control of his life.
''Whatever!'' He closed his eyes to calm down a bit.
''Asr can I ask you something..''
Hmm..'' he said in an unpleasant tone knowing well what she is going to blunt.
''Why you hate khushi so much..she is my closest friend and I don't understand why both can't stand each other..i hope there is not any big issue t-..'' His sudden yell jerk her in a sudden.
''Lavanya how many times I told you don't take that girl name in front of me again and again..I don't give a damn to that down market girl.. today is an special occasion not only for me but for di also.. I don't wish to spoil my mood by hearing all those rubbish craps..do you got that!!!'' She was taken aback by his anger and tried to comprehend the reason. He cut it off throwing the phone somewhere.
                                       *****
It was already evening when kashyap family arrived at raizada mansion. Everything seems perfect. This is the most happiest day for everyone and specially for lavanya. Anjali is so happy as her chotte finally taken a wise decision to settle down. She hugged lavanya and praised her beauty. Her eyes were only searching for one person, asr. Anjali teasing her seeing her desperation. Its lavanya dream to marry her love of her life and she can't believe arnav himself proposed her for marriage who don't believe in those relationships. After long wait, her dream going to fulfill but she is in little dilemma. 
''What happened lavanyaji..is all well?'' Anjali noticed her lost in thoughts.
''Woh..I m missing my friend KHUSHI..i wish she could a part of this occasion..'' she said in a sad tone.
''Khushi?'' A name echoed in her brain making her suspect something. She tried to figure out where she heard this name.
''Di kaha kho gaye?'' (Where you lost) She shoved her hand in front of her eyes and she smiled.
''No nothing..'' She brushed off those thoughts and cupped her cheeks affectionately.
''I m so happy you are going to be my bhabhi! Chotte is so lucky to get partner who loved him immensely..'' Her eyes were fixed on something and anjali look at the direction of her vision.
''Well, someone is getting curious..'' She winked at lavanya and climb upstairs to bring him down. In the meanwhile, lavanya rang khushi but her phone is out of reach.
''Where are you khush..i need you..'') Lavanya was busy checking her mobile when she heard her voice.
''Hey luvu..'' she look back shocked and bewildered.
''Khush??????''
                                       ******
Arnav was in his room getting reading in front of mirror. His sister anjali came to him.
''Chotte you still not ready..everyone is arrived..hurry up..''
''Just few minutes di I will come down soon..'' he said wearing his tie.
''By the way your bride looking so beautiful..''
''I know di she is beautiful that's why I wanted her to be my wife..'' She grinned slapping his head and walked down while he gelled his hairs with evil smirk. Arnav was wearing his coat when aman came rushing into his room with shocked expression.
''What the..! Did you forget your manners?'' Aman look around and closed the door so that no one could hear him.
''Asr.. khu..shh..i saw her just now in the party...''
''What?''
''I m damn sure she is upon something whatever you did with her she won't keep her mouth shut or may be blunt out everything to lavanya mam and..''
''Shut your bloody mouth aman! I know how to handle that wild kitten..'' he smirked stepping out of his bedroom leaving him with lot of doubts.
                                       *****
Nearly four hours passed yet Arnav wasn't able to meet khushi. Whenever he tried to approach her, someone or other surrounded by her. There was a unusual smile appear on her lips that literally surprised him. He wanted to know what is going in her mind and he was waiting for any opportunity to meet her. He tried to block her but every-time she escaped. That literally pissed him off. A hand snaked around his arms and he looked at lavanya growled.
Lavanya: ''Asr I m sorry..please forgive me..i know you are unhappy due to khushi..'' He was about to say something when her voice halted his tongue.
Khushi: ''She is right..ab maaf bhi kar dijiye meri pyaare JIJAJI..'' (Forgive us both) She stressed each and every word to mocked him.
Lavanya: ''Asr- Khushi is so guilty she shouldn't doubt on your intention but now she admitted it was her misunderstanding to judge you in a wrong way..she is really regretting and wanted to sort all the differences and start afresh..'' He gave a glare to her and she pretended a sad face.
''Please..for me..'' She requested with a plead and he nodded unwillingly with his eyes fixed on khushi. In no moment, lavanya been dragged by her cousin and now only arnav and khushi left. She show him her 24 teeth that anger him to the height. He gripped her wrist and dragged her toward his room and shut the door furiously.
Arnav: ''What is that drama khushi? What the hell you doing in this party?? i worn you not to show your face again..? Can't you understand in simple language!!!! He lashed out loosing his patience.
Khushi: ''Drama? What are you saying JIJAJI..'' She asked innocently. He was damn frustrated and upon that her pronouncing him by that name irking him like hell.
Arnav: ''What happen to you?'' He asked once he saw her calm than before.
Khushi: ''What happened to me JIJAJI???'' With frown brow. He was angry and frustrated and she is provoking him more.
Arnav: ''Shut up!!!!!!..'' He pounced her and she gave a side glare to hide her smirk.  He walked toward her and pressed her cheeks with his finger.
''Answer me dammit!! You are behaving as if nothing happened.. what are you planning in your cunning mind...'' He barked in rough tone. He was expecting any reaction but her odd pretense confusing him.
Khushi: ''Chill jijaji, shouting is not good for your health what if lavanya heard our conversation and it was definitely not good for you..isn't it? She said politely with honey coated voice. He leave her and bang his leg on the table frustratingly. she rubbed her cheeks annoyingly that become slightly red due to his assault and gave him cheesy smile when he glance her again.
Arnav: ''Don't mess with me..i am warning you..say something dammit!!!!! He yelled louder this time making her close her ears.
Khushi: ''Aphi ne kaha na chup ho jayegi aur vaise bhi Hamari itni jurrat ki hum arnav singh raizada ke samne kuch bol sake..'' (You only want to shut me up and I don't think I m capable enough to raise my voice in front of great arnav singh raizada..right?) She pouted her mouth like a puppy. He raised his left eyebrow in amusement.
Arnav: ''You think you are smart enough to play such games to trap me so easily..'' She had her ears closed hearing his continuous scream. 
Trapping? Look who is giving her lesson about trapping and games. What an Irony! He stepped out the moment he heard his di voice. 
''Don't forget my name is arnav singh raizada and if i got to know you create any scene here or tried to stop this alliance, I won't regret to rip you off once again..'' he worn raggedly before moving out. The moment he left, a wide smirk played on her lips. His so called threatening won't affect her anymore. She will do what ever she decided and this not even god stop her to achieve her goal.
''Aman keep an eye on her..something is defiantly fishy..'' he said to aman while exiting out.
''Very soon you will regret why your name is arnav singh raizada..MR. NOT SO HAPPENING JIJAJI'' She gave a devil laugh and look at her wrist watch.
''Time for plan A..''
                                      ******
She was standing aloof in a corner and spotted lavanya in the stage. Her face was glowing profusely when asr gathered a seat beside her. Khushi feel bad as she don't want to snatched her happiness. She grabbed her phone and dial karan's number.
''Karan I don't think I able to do this..she is looking so happy..I can't..'' she is getting weakening.
''What is going on there?'' Suddenly everything blur in front of her eyes. She hold the window for support and grabbed the bottle from other hand before she loose her conscious and splashed water on her face again and again to remain normal. By getting no response from her end, he started worrying.
''Khushi you okay..'' She nodded holding her head in a delightful tone not wanted to worry him more but does anything hidden from him for long.
''I had to..'' she whispered in a low sound.
''See..That's why I want to accompany you, If Dr akshat wasn't call me urgently I would have joined you..'' She groaned.
''Karan I m not a kid that every-time you wanted to run behind me like my mother..'' She chuckled and he made an annoying face and gaze at Dr akshat who is examining her reports very keenly.
''Okay I have to go now..you pick up my reports and let me know what is it..yah?..'' she hurriedly cut off while karan was desperately waiting for any positive reply from Dr akshat. Whereas, akshat broke the silence and let the word whisper.

''SHE IS THREE WEEKS PREGNANT..'' Phone slipped from his hand the moment he heard those phrase. His body stop functioning. A tiny drop of tear slipped from his eyes hearing the bitter truth of his one and only love, khushi.
                                       ******
Khushi breathe relief after talking with karan. Her old wound started to knock her memory storage and she stopped herself getting weak.  She don't feel this place belong to her. Only For lavanya sake, she is here otherwise she don't wish to greet her so called fiancee.  
Ring ceremony started. Arnav was standing exactly opposite to lavanya and his eyes not moving from looking at khushi that is not go unnoticed by anjali. It already create doubts in her mind. Khushi not even once glance him. Everyone were looking at them and he took the diamond ring and was going to slipped on her ring finger when in a sudden, Mr kashyap came forward once he finish his talk with someone and furiously pulled lavanya hand away from his grip.
''Yeh sagai nahi ho sakhti..''(This engagement cannot take place..)  He snatched the ring  from his daughter hand which she was holding very possessively and it directly landed near khushi's feet.
