"Please babuji, do what he says, I cannot live without him." Sandhaya desperately said tugging his hand. Hearing the desperation in his daughter's voice Ram Singh Decided that he will do what was needed to get his daughter happy.
He nodded at Surjeet, who was smirking.
"Kill Alok Singh Raizada."

*****************************
Whole chapter is in Flashback



24. Their Dead past Part 2.



*FLASHBACK CONTINUES*

Year: 1995



Raizada mansion was decorated like a palace, party of Alok and Priyam Singh Raizada's 10^th Anniversary was at full swing. All the children were at play section except Arnav and Khushi. Arnav was busy teaching Khushi how to eat ice cream. Khushi was enjoying his attention. They both were giggling for some unknown reason.





Priyam looked at them and fondly smiled. 





Hey devi ma keep my Arnav and Khushi always together She prayed.
 

************************

Arnav was talking with Khushi in their babyish language, when he stated worriedly.





"Khushi, you know what, I don't know why I am feeling restless, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, even di was also worried, and she can't be wrong" Arnav said worriedly.





Khushi at first frowned and pushed out her lower lips as if she was thinking, Arnav chuckled seeing her antics and caressed her cheeks.





"You don't have to worry till I am here" Arnav said proudly.





Khushi looked at him with wide animated eyes, and Arnav kissed her chubby cheeks affectionately that made Khushi giggle, she clapped before she too gave a wet kiss on Arnav's cheeks making him blush

***************************



Ram Singh entered the party hall with a grave expression; he closed his eyes once and remembered the face of his daughter, her tear stricken face and pleading eyes. He opened his eyes with a new determination and moved towards Alok.





"Sahab ji..." He called Alok





Alok turned towards him, and looked at him surprised, his gaze softened when he saw a tear trailed down from Ram Singh's eyes.





"What happened Kaka? Do you want to talk about Sandhaya? If yes, then you don't have to apologize, it was not your fault" Alok said and smiled.





"I want to talk to you, its urgent" Ram Singh pleaded





"OK, let us go to me study *turning to his guests* excuse me friends." Alok said and placed a hand over Ram Singh's shoulder and took him to his Study.





"Papa..." Arnav called out for his father but it was too late, Alok was already upstairs, escorting Ram Singh in the room.



*************************

Arnav was sitting quietly on the sofa with a sleeping Khushi on his lap, he saw Khushi frowning and pouting and decided to go to his room and put Khushi on the bed. As he stood up with Khushi, Priyam stopped him...





"Bitwa, do you know where is your father?" Priyam asked.





"Oh, I saw him going upstairs to his study with Ram Singh kaka." Arnav said as he continues to pat Khushi's back.





Priyam nodded one time before kissing Arnav and Khushi on their heads.




"Mom see, what you did, you woke her up" Arnav said a bit angrily. Khushi pouted holding Arnav's collar and rubbed her eyes with one hand.





"Ah see, she is not in sleeping mood too, let her enjoy the party." Priyam said mischievously.





Arnav rolled his eyes and again sat on the sofa with a playing and giggling Khushi on his lap.





Priyam walked towards the stairs to go to Alok's study, she turned back to look at her family, she did not know why she was feeling that she was seeing her family for last the time.


************************* 



Ram Singh told Alok everything, how Surjeet had trapped his daughter, how he made her pregnant, how he lied about his family, how he misused their trust, and how he blackmailed him by saying that if he killed Alok then only he would marry Sandhaya.





"Kaka, I am utterly sorry for you and your daughter, I will do everything under my power to teach that Surjeet a lesson." Alok said and patted Ram Singh's shoulder who was looking down.





"Now let's go to the party." Alok said, but was stopped when Ram Singh looked at him with red eyes; a maniac glint was there in his eyes.





"Kaka..." Alok uttered.





"I am sorry bitwa." Ram Singh cried and took out the gun and pointed it towards Alok.





SHOT!!!!!!!!!





Priyam gasped as she saw Alok flew and fell with a thud on the ground, she had heard everything, and she was going to intervene when Ram Singh shot Alok.





She was still standing holding the door knob, slowly she slid and knelt down in front of Alok's lying body, Alok looked at her and whispered her name before closing his eyes.





"I am coming... I am coming too Alok ji but not before knowing the truth." She said determining voice.





She stood up and questioned Ram Singh in a calm voice and he replied in a dead voice, after knowing the whole truth Priyam looked at him.





"Now will you kill me too kaka?" Priyam asked him.





"No betiya how can I kill you, I will never do that." Saying this Ram Singh walked a bit closer to Priyam and knelt down in front of Priyam and place the gun near her feet, he started crying badly, and joined his palm in front of her.





Priyam looked at Alok's dead body and let her tears flow free, she sobbed; she sobbed for her husband, her lost love, her children, her family, she screamed, cried, and cursed her fate. Then she remembered her promise to Alok.





She slowly bent down and took the gun. Ram Singh looked at her and the gun in her hand, and started horribly.





"No... Please... no... betiya don't kill me." Ram Singh pleaded but Priyam was beyond control.





"I am sorry too Kaka as you were also sorry when you killed my husband." She hissed.





SHOT!!!!!!!!!




**************************


"Garima ma do you know where is ma?" Adhiraj asked. Garima nodded and took him towards Arnav, where he was busy being horse for Khushi.





"Aree Arnav bitwa, what are you doing, stand up." Garima took Khushi off Arnav's back and helped him to stand up.





"Where is your mother?" Garima asked worriedly.





"Oh I told her that I saw papa going to his study room with Ram Singh uncle and then she too went there." Arnav said and tried to take Khushi back, but Garima stopped him.





"No, now go with Adhiraj and call your parents down, tell them they have to cut the cake, everyone is waiting, and maa ji is also waiting." Garima said.





"OK if nani wants, I am going, chal Adhi bhai." Arnav grabbed Adhiraj and ran towards study.





"Slow down bro..." Adhiraj said.





"No, I have to come back to Khushi, now hurry up."




*************************



Priyam laughed like maniac as she saw Ram Singh's body, he was struggling in order to breathe. She had shot him on his chest. She enjoyed how Ram Singh was struggling for his life.





Suddenly she started crying and fell down near Alok's body, she cried her heart out.





Priyam had thrown the gun, and it was near Ram Singh, seeing this Ram Singh took the gun and pointed it towards Priyam...





Sorry, but I have to kill you, and if I didn't my daughter will never get her happiness Ram Singh thought with sorrow. 




**********************



Adhiraj and Arnav heard their mother crying voice and ran towards the gate... and what they saw left them flabbergasted. Their father was lying with blood all over him, and their mother crying, and Ram Singh pointing gun at their mother.





SHOT!!!!!!!!!





Arnav and Adhiraj watched their mother's body tumbled down near his father's dead body as Ram Singh shot her, Arnav wanted to scream and run towards his mother, but Adhiraj closed his mouth and held him back. But Arnav struggled and broke free out of Adhiraj's grip.





MAA!!!





His voice boomed everywhere, he ran towards Priyam who was directly shot on her head and was now lying with her eyes open. 





"Ma... ma... what happened to you, papa... why are you sleeping, papa... ma, wake up..." Arnav was screaming.





But Adhiraj was looking at Ram Singh, who was trying to pull something out of his pocket, Ram Singh called Adhiraj to him and he obeyed.





Arnav was still crying bitterly holding and shaking Priyam and Alok, when Adhiraj walked to Ram Singh.





"F... Forgiii... Forgive me... take this letter, you will know why all this happened, I am sorry." Ram Singh said brokenly and closed his eyes.





Adhiraj walked towards Arnav and knelt beside him, he hugged him and after a long time allowed himself to cry, and they both cried holding each other. Arnav was still trying to wake them up when Adhiraj hugged him tightly.





"They are gone... gone chotey... they are gone."

***********************



Down in the party hall, Khushi was crying her eyes out, she was struggling to be out of her mother's lap.





"Aree Garima bitiya, only Arnav bitwa can handle her." Devyani commented and Garima nodded.





"But where is Chottey?" Anjali asked and Garima told her. Anjali nodded and went towards study.



**********************



Anjali came down screaming for help, and then what happened was something beyond imagination. Hearing about Priyam, Surjeet too ran towards Alok's study, and when he saw his love Priyam lying dead, and saw his crying nephews, Arnav and Adhiraj ran to hug him, he hugged them and broke down; he apologized to Arnav and Adhiraj, who were seeking support in their chachu's warmth.





He told them to call out everyone, and pushed them out of the room. 





Adhiraj carried a crying Arnav down. Surjeet cursed himself, he touched Priyam's cheeks which were red due to blood, he wanted to kill himself, and he exactly did that and before anyone could have reached and stopped him, he also shot himself on head, and fell down near Priyam's feet, where he exactly belonged.



****************************



Devyani saw the scene in front of her like a dead body, four dead bodies, her daughter, and son-in-law were dead, police was hovering over them, and the case was crystal clear. 





First everyone was confused but when Adhiraj handed them the letter given by Ram Singh, where it was written that this all happened because of Surjeet's lust for Priyam and hunger for money ... everything was crystal clear... case was closed... nothing left... everything was finished.

25. HER PROTECTOR




*FLASHBACK*


Sandhaya hadn't cried after receiving the news of Surjeet's death, she vowed that she would destroy the Raizadas... killer of her lover and her father. It had been six months; Sandhaya was now seven months pregnant. As per her plan she went to Raizada Mansion, to claim half property as she was pregnant with Surjeet's child.





But the scene in front of her left her enraged, everyone was playing with the little Khushi, and she was giggling, everyone was busy with her, it doesn't seem that three important people from that house had passed away.





Arnav was looking at Khushi with a small smile, he was content, and his small brain had accepted the fact that his parents were no more with him, but he had Khushi, and he would protect her. A boy who had witnessed his mother's death, a boy who knew the reason behind his parent's death was no more a child, his innocence was robbed, but his sanity... his Khushi was with him.





"What kind of family you are? You lost two sons of this house and you all are playing with this girl... Shame on you all" Sandhaya shouted drawing everyone's attention on her.





"What are you doing here? Your father has done enough to destroy us, now what more you want?" Shashi shouted.





"Lower you voice, I am not a weak woman, I am here to demand my rights, I am pregnant with Surjeet ji's child, and I want my share" Sandhaya walked inside.





"We would have even considered this if he had married you, but you were no less than a mistress for him, so stay in your limit and get out" Shashi shouted and Garima ran to him, to calm him.





"Who are you? Oh so you are here for property, isn't it? Everyone here loves your daughter... This good for nothing Khushi, so you thought that you will get your share, oh I won't let that happen" Sandhya roared 





"Shut up you wh**e, don't take her name with your dirty mouth, Surjeet was the real culprit, I lost my children due to him, and if you dare to harm our Khushi, you will face the worst" Devyani threatened.





All the while Arnav {5 years old} was a silent listener, Anjali {9 years old}, Aakash {4 years old}, Payal {4 years old}, Adhiraj {7 years old} were crying standing in the corner, and Khushi {2 years old} was busy playing with Arnav's hair.






 "I will return to take my revenge, and I know that how much you all love that little child... Khushi... I will kill her and when she will die my revenge would be complete, my child will kill her in front of your eyes" Sandhaya shouted, shocking everyone.





"Try it... if you ever even try to touch her, I will burn you..." Five years old Arnav hissed back. Everyone looked at Arnav shocked, only Garima smiled as she was confident about Arnav's promise.






And from that day Sandhaya only looked forward to kill Khushi, she was sure that her sons... yes she gave birth to two sons... and she was sure that they will complete her revenge, she adopted a child too, and named him Shyam, she died due to cancer but not before extracting promise from them to complete her revenge.




She was sure that the history will repeat itself.




*Flashback ends*


**************************


"You will enter in AR wearing canteen uniform tomorrow, and I want the work done, do you get that?" A man ordered.





"But sir what if they recognize that I am not their staff?" Another man asked with trembled voice.





"Shut up, you will enter from the main gate showing your fake identity card that I gave you" The man hissed.





"OK sir" Another man said confidently.





"I want the work done..." The man said and cut the line.


**********************


*FLASHBACK*


Anjali's marriage was successfully done, everything went well, and everyone was happy. 





Khushi was silently crying standing in a corner, missing her Anji di already.





"Missing me?" Arnav asked huskily.





"No, I am missing di" Khushi pouted.





"She will be OK, trust me, she will be happy, and I love you." Arnav said pulling her behind the pillar.





"I love you two, three, four" Khushi hugged tightly and cried but felt happy when Arnav's heartbeats increased. 





"You remember, tomorrow..." Arnav asked caressing her bare waist.





"Yes... tomorrow I am going to be yours... forever..." Khushi broke apart and smiled caressing his nape; Arnav closed his eyes in bliss. 





"I will pick you up in morning at 9, be ready, and yes wear something blue" Arnav said kissing her lips lightly.





"Blue?? But you like red on me" Khushi asked in confusion.





"Surprise!" Arnav said naughtily, making Khushi blush. Arnav bent down to take her lips when Garima called Khushi to help her, Khushi giggled and pushed Arnav showing her tongue.





"You will pay for this tomorrow night" Arnav smirked.





"I am all ready to pay Raizada" Khushi said blowing him a kiss.




*FLASHBACK ENDS*

***********************


Arnav was getting ready for office, as he don't want to be late, after getting that letter after the incident of party he has increased security around Khushi, he was ready, he looked in the mirror checking himself one last time when his eyes caught the letter from the attacker which he got yesterday night...





Protect her... or she will be gone... And this time forever and welcome me again Raizada, save your Gupta

Well-wisher





"Whoever you are, I will search you..." Arnav promised himself and stormed out of the room.

*************************


Khushi reached office early today, she didn't want to face that shouting Raksash/Boss of hers. As hers and Arnav's cabin was same, she went inside and sat down to work, exactly at nine O'clock Arnav entered the cabin and sat down without looking at her, she frowned at him.





"Stop frowning at me Gupta, we have lot of work to do, pass me the Mehra's file" Arnav ordered without looking at her, Khushi pursed her lips and passed the file. They worked in silence for few minutes; Arnav was looking at her from corner of his eyes, whereas Khushi was directly gawking at him.





He is handsome she thought while typing her presentation.





Why she is looking at me like that? Arnav thought.





Their silence was broken by the shrill ring of Khushi's phone, which made Khushi gasp in horror, she looked at the phone with 'O' face and then at Arnav.





"You should keep your phone in silent mode, remember it next time, now pick it up if it is important" Arnav said.






Khushi looked at the name of the caller and smiled.





"Hello, Anji di, how are you?" Khushi greeted cheerfully.





"I am fine Khushi, but tell me are you in office, Arnav is with you?" Anjali asked with urgency in her voice, Khushi looked up at Arnav who was looking at his laptop like his life depended on it.






"Yes di, he is here only, is everything OK?" Khushi asked suddenly concerned, even Arnav looked up at her and questioned her, and Khushi nodded in negative.





"Aree nahi, don't worry everything is OK, it just Nani had called me saying that Chotey didn't have his breakfast, and you know it is impossible for him to take his medicines with empty stomach, now it is your duty to force him to eat and have medicine... bye" Anjali said cheekily and kept the call before Khushi could say anything. 






Khushi looked at her phone and pouted.





"What happened?" Arnav asked standing up from his chair.





"You didn't have your breakfast, or medicine" Khushi stated strictly.





"So, what's the big deal?" Arnav asked shrugging.





"You will sit here, and wait for me, till I bring your breakfast here" Khushi said and stood up. Arnav was about to protest when her glare was enough for him to shut.





"But we can order food, let me call them..." Arnav offered, he didn't want Khushi out of his sight.





"No, I will choose the type of food you will have, OK now sit, and let me go or I will call nani" Khushi threatened and Arnav sulked like a child.





Khushi was moving out when Arnav stopped her...





"Listen... come fast..." Arnav said, Khushi smiled when she saw concern in his eyes for her, it gave her immense happiness.






"I will... in 10 minutes, pinky promise" Khushi said and moved out closing door behind her. 





Arnav picked up the phone... "She is coming down, keep eyes on her till she reaches cabin again... safely"



************************


"Veer, suniye, where are you going suddenly this morning, you said you will go to AR" Anjali asked while serving food to Kairavi.





"Nothing baby, I will go AR later, but first, I have a very important case to handle, well How is Khushi?" Veer asked and sat down to have his breakfast.





Anjali cheekily explained, how she trapped Khushi and chotey, she was happy that their plan of reuniting Arnav and Khushi was working.





"Let's hope for the best, OK I am leaving bye" Veer kissed Anjali and Kairavi and moved out.



**************************

"Khushi mam..." A person dressed in canteen uniform called Khushi who was waiting on the canteen counter for the food, Khushi turned towards the man.





"Mam, Lavanya madam is calling you, it is urgent" Man said to Khushi.





"Where? In her cabin? Is she OK?" Khushi asked forgetting about the food.





"NO in sauna room" Man said indicating towards the down floor.





"Sauna room? But it is in down floor, and that floor is under construction" Khushi asked furrowing her brows.



"I don't know mam, she said to call you ASAP" Man replied.





"OK... I am going" Khushi said, and ran towards the direction.

********************


Khushi reached at down floor after handling a hyper-ventilated guard who was stopping her, but she clarified that Lavanya had called her here, reluctantly the guard let her go, reaching at sauna room which was designed for models, Khushi looked around at awe, the place was warm and beautiful. She called out for Lavanya twice, but getting no response she started to move out when a large hand enclosed on her mouth, effectively shutting her from shouting.





Khushi panicked, she started to kick, and struggle, but the man in mask was stronger, not able to handle Khushi more the man dragged Khushi upto the shower stand and took out the hand shower from it, and hit Khushi on head.






A sudden pain course through her, her hand fell limb beside her, her vision blurred, her breath swallow, her body slowly slid down on the floor, and before closing her eyes, a very familiar voice echoed in her head.





"No don't kill her, Please, I beg, who are you? Khushi... Please... no... Please"





She closed her eyes and cringed in pain, the man gulped and took out a letter from his pocket, and he kept it beside Khushi, and ran outside.




************************

"Work done?" A man asked.





"Yes sss..sir" Another man stammered.





"Now get out of the building, remember no one should notice you, OK!" Man ordered.





"OK"


***********************


"Where the hell is this girl, it has been 20 minutes, she still didn't come... Khushi where are you?" Arnav said out loud.





After another 10 minutes, he called his security guards that he had appointed for Khushi.





"Where is Khushi?" Arnav barked on phone





"Sir... actually... sir" The guard stammered





"Stop stammering, tell me, where is she?" Arnav stood in rage.





"Sir we don't know, we are finding her only, she suddenly disappeared, and we couldn't follow her" Guard said showing his regret.





Arnav went numb, she was missing again, without thinking anything he ran, he ran down like his life depended on it, he knew, he was probably looking like a manic...





"Khushi... Khushi... I love Khushi..." He whispered this while running down, but stopped when the reality of his words dawned on him; he closed his eyes in defeat... yet again...





Yes, he loved her... he loves her, and will always love her.





 "I love you Khushi, and I will not let anything happen to you... not this time... I will get you back in my life... anyhow... I love you" Arnav said determining, but soon a scene from past disturbed his mind, making him numb with terror, as he heard his own voice begging for her life





"No don't kill her, Please, I beg, who are you? Khushi... Please... no... Please"

26. HIS LOVE


 "I love you Khushi, and I will not let anything happen to you... not this time... I will get you back in my life... anyhow... I love you" Arnav said determining, but soon a scene from past disturbed his mind, making him numb with terror, as he heard his own voice begging for her life





"No don't kill her, Please, I beg, who are you? Khushi... Please... no... Please"





He jerked back to reality and saw the security guards roaming here and there frantically, probably finding Khushi.





"You found her? Where is she?" Arnav panted as he asked the head security guard.





"No, sir we are still finding her" The person replied meekly.





"WHAT... I DIDN'T PAY YOU TO SIT DAMMIT, I TOLD YOU TO FOLLOW HER LIKE HER SHADOW, HOW COULD YOU ALL LET HER DISAPPEAR" Arnav shouted at top of his voice.





Staff of AR by now were used to his shouting, but now when he shouted; they all stopped working, giving each other curious glances, the way ASR was shouting it was proving one thing that a thing very close to his heart had lost. They were afraid of him, but never hated him, seeing their boss so helpless they prayed for him.



****************************


kyun nazrein teri yun anjaan hain,
aankhein hain meri bhi num,
kyun paakar bhi tumko khoya hai,
Hum kyun na ban paye hum...




It was getting hard for her to breath, temperature of the room was increasing, she tried to open her mouth to shout for help but no sound came, she tried to move her body, but no use, 





"Arrr... nav... Arnav" Khushi whispered brokenly.





Suddenly some strange scenes crossed her mind, again. A girl running in a dark jungle




*Flashback*


She ran, ran for her life, and ran to her love, she had to reach him, she turned to look at the person who was behind her with a hockey stick in his hand. She opened her mouth to shout but her foot got caught in the roots of an old tree and she fell down.




BLOOD




She could only see blood, blood from her nose, blood on her forehead, she saw the person in mask nearing her, she gasped in horror, she tried to move with her elbow, but his large hand caught her ankle and twisted it.





"Ahhh!!!!! Help... no... no... Please... Arnav... help... ARNAV"




 *FLASHBACK END*




"Arnav..." Khushi was half conscious, her eyes were dropping, she was out of sense and didn't know what to do or what she was doing, but she tried and shouted again...





"ARNAV ... ARNAV ... Ar... Arn... Arnav..." Her screams slowly turned into whispers as she lost her consciousness fully.




**************************


"Sir, we saw in CC TV footage that a man was leading Miss Gupta, down that stairs, on the first floor... but we don't have any CC TV down there" A junior guard came rushing towards them, by now whole office was aware of Khushi's absence, but what shocked them that no one knows where she went, hence ASR ordered them to take out all the CC footage.





"First floor, but she knew that it is under construction... Oh shit" Arnav said and ran towards first floor, guards tried to stop him saying it would be dangerous for him to go there, but one look from ASR, had shut them up.




**********************



"KHUSHI... KHUSHI..." Arnav was running around like a maniac searching for Khushi.





"Sir, I found her, oh my god" the guard found the room full of steam and Khushi's limp body, he checked her nerves and sighed in relief, he ran to turn off the steam. 





Arnav came running to her, and stopped when he saw her limp body down, his body froze, again an image from past, her limp, bleeding body lying in the forest came across his mind.





Run Arnav, go... I love you, run love run, I will be safe, run her words echoed in his ear.





"Don't worry ASR she is alive..." He couldn't complete his sentence as Arnav slapped him on his face.






"Look at her, this is all because of you, pray for her, if anything happened to my love, I will ruin you" Arnav said in a menacing tone and rushed forward to her, he carried her in his Arm and ran to a nearby hospital.




************************


"Payal, don't you think, we should at-least tell Khushi about our marriage, she deserves to know because she was the one who helped us get married when your parents had fixed your alliance somewhere else" Aakash said caressing Payal's bare shoulder.






They were in their secret flat, enjoying their cozy alone time. Aakash had come here after making excuse of an urgent work to Arnav, same case with Payal, she faked her non-existence urgent work to her father and came to her husband.






"I know, she deserves to know, but trust me I will tell her after sometime, as well as our family, it is getting difficult to stay without you" Payal said and kissed his naked chest, Aakash was about to kiss her when his phone started ringing, flashing ANJALI DI' on screen.






"Yes di... what... attack... oh shit... ya coming" Aakash gulped





"What happened Aakash?" Payal asked shaking him.





"Khushi's been attacked again" Aakash said





They both ran towards the hospital as fast as possible.

**********************


Arnav had taken Khushi to their family doctor, she was in emergency room. With oxygen mask over her mouth, as per doctor due to suffocation in the steam room, the oxygen supply has decreased in her body. As now he had realized his love for her all over again, he wanted her back with him ASAP. He was still busy staring at her when...





"Sir this is the letter we got near miss Gupta, it's again a threat" The police inspector informed Arnav, "threat?" Arnav took the letter from his hand and read






See, Arnav Singh Raizada, I tried to kill your Khushi just under your nose, and you can't save her. Accept it Raizada you are a loser, I failed to kill her before, but now I will not let her live more


Your well-wisher






Arnav clenched his fist and gave the letter back to police.




"Check all the CC footage, check backgrounds of all the staffs of AR, but I want this culprit alive in front of me, inspector, I will not take any loose security around Khushi anymore" Arnav ordered.






"OK ASR, don't worry, we will handle it" Inspector assured 



*********************


"Doctor, is she fine, can I meet her?" Arnav asked when doctor came out after checking Khushi.




"Yes, her system is shocked but overall she is fine, but yes there is a slight bulge on the back of her head, I think she has been hit on her head, and as per her previous report, it can be dangerous for her" The doctor said seriously.





"What do you mean; did she get her memory back?" Anjali asked and Arnav stared towards Khushi through the glass.





"No her memory is not back yet, her system is protecting her, so it depends on her body's coping strength" Doctor went away excusing himself and permitted them to meet her.





Veer came rushing to the hospital and ran towards a crying Anjali





"How?" Veer asked consoling a hysterical Anjali, as Anjali explained the little information she got from the guards, her chotey was like a statue, he was not saying anything and it was worrying her.





A calm Payal and nervous Aakash arrived and directly went to Arnav, Aakash moved to console him when Payal stopped him





"Go to Anji di, I will handle him" Payal said calmly and Aakash nodded.




*********************



"I heard doctor saying that we can meet her now" Arnav looked up hearing Payal's voice, his emotional turmoil burst out, he hugged Payal tightly as tried to control his tears.





"I don't want to lose her Payal, I love her, remember you said to give chance to my love... our love once again... I will give it Payal, just tell her to be OK, I can't see her like this... Please... I am afraid" Arnav kept talking and Payal let him, and as a good sister she listened and patted his back.




After listening to him, she said to him: "Don't be afraid, you are a powerful man...Go to her, go to her before Amma, babuji, buaji barge in, I will inform them later, first go to her, I am very happy for you that at-last you realized the value of your love... now make her fall for you again... Love her all over again; she is your love bhai" Payal said ruffling his already disordered hair.





    "But what if she remembers everything and started hating me..." Arnav asked worriedly 





"She will... I know... but don't let her go, prove your love, gain her trust" Payal consoled





"I love her" Arnav whispered.




"I know"

*******************************


Payal had still not informed any family members as she wanted Arnav and Khushi to spend some time





Arnav was sitting beside an unconscious Khushi holding her hand, talking to her, and apologizing for not realizing his mistake for not loving her, he promised her that from now he would never let her away from his sight, he bent to kiss her cheek but diverted his lips towards her lips, it's been ages since he had kissed her, so to console himself he touched his lips with her, as he kissed her lips slowly, Khushi's eyes opened...





"Khushi..." Arnav said brokenly 



"Arnav..."

Arnav was sitting beside an unconscious Khushi holding her hand, talking to her, and apologizing for not realizing his mistake for not loving her, he promised her that from now he would never let her away from his sight, he bent to kiss her cheek but diverted his lips towards her lips, it's been ages since he had kissed her, so to console himself he touched his lips with her, as he kissed her lips slowly, Khushi's eyes opened...





"Khushi..." Arnav said brokenly 





"Arnav..."




"Khushi... Khushi... you OK, oh my god, yes open your eyes slowly" Arnav stood up hurriedly, he was trembling with excitement, he was holding her hand and was shaking her to encourage her to open her eyes.





"I am OK, just my head is aching... here... *gasp*" Khushi hissed when she tried to lift her hand to show where it was paining.





"I know, there is a bulge, do you remember something... like" Arnav asked hesitantly





"Ya, there was guy who told me that La is calling me and wants to meet me on the 1^st floor..." Khushi tried to remember





"But how can she call you, when La and NK are out of country for a conference" Arnav said bewildered.





"Oh... and then when I got there, a man closed my mouth and then hit me on my head, that is all I remember" Khushi scrunched her eyes to ebb away the pain that was consuming her.





"Do you remember something else" Arnav asked crossing finger at his back, Khushi looked at  him, and stared, nervously he looked away and started fidgeting with her fingers that he was still holding.





"No I didn't get my memory back, tell me something, we are connected someway from my past which I don't remember... aren't we?" Khushi asked and squeezed his hand.





"No, I mean we are family friends..." Arnav said assuring her, and thanked god mentally that she didn't remember anything.





"Family se yaad aaya... where is my family... please don't tell them that I was being attacked again they will stop me from going outside if they get to know it" Khushi panicked.





"OK, but they will never stop you, don't worry now rest, and let me inform others about you" Arnav stood up but Khushi held his hand and again pulled him to sit.





"Will you be my friend, I find solace when I am with you, I know you think of me as a crazy funny person, but it will not harm you, will you be my friend, I feel safe with you" Khushi said suddenly her eyes beaming with tears.





"I am your friend, but Khushi I am totally opposite to you, and I have a past which is..." Arnav voice quivered






"We have ages to discuss this, till then know that you have a friend now, and can you please wipe that drop of tears from corner of your eyes, I only know you from 3 days, but I already know that you don't look good while crying for a crazy girl like me" Khushi smiled.





"Khushi Kumari Gupta, now rest, and that's my order" Arnav said in ASR mode.





"Laad governor..." Khushi pouted, but before going out Arnav turned towards Khushi






"Khushi are you afraid?" Arnav asked nervously.





"For" Khushi asked





"Like, you are attacked two times, don't you feel..." Arnav trailed off





"I said I feel safe with you, whenever I am attacked you were there to save me, and I know that you will be there in future too" Khushi had a faraway look and a small smile playing on her lips.






"How do you know?" Arnav whispered brokenly.





"I just know" Khushi's heart melting smile assured him.


****************************


Shyam looked at Anjali who was looking down without blinking; he slowly neared her and stood in front of her, Anjali noticed his shoes and instantly knew who could be that, yes she loved her husband Veer very much but unknown to her she shared a special bond with Shyam and hence when she noticed his feet she jumped up and hugged him and sobbed bitterly.




Shyam didn't need to ask her the reason behind her sadness, like all time he just knew, and he would be there for her in every path.





"Did you eat something?" Shyam asked huskily while caressing her back.





"No..." Anjali sobbed





"Idiot... let's go" Shyam dragged her towards Hospital canteen still hugging her close.



**************************

*FLASHBACK*


Morning after Anjali's marriage was pleasant for Khushi, she remembered Arnav words





"Be ready by 9"




She blushed and got ready in a pale yellow churidar, she was checking herself in mirror when





"You don't have to check, you look enough gorgeous that I can eat you up alive" Arnav commented cheekily.





Khushi gasped and turned around to see Arnav standing leaning on to the door.





"Tu... tum" Khushi asked nervously.





"Ha... haan main" Arnav said teasingly and made a serious face; he went towards her and stopped just in front of her.





He took a step towards her, and she took a step back, he again stepped forward and she again moved backward.





"Tum Hamesha piche kyun jaati ho" Arnav asked still moving towards her





"Kyunki tum Hamesha aage aate ho" Khushi collided with the cold wall behind her and Arnav caught the chance by caging her in between his arms






"Perfect..." Arnav smiled at her, his eyes turning dark as the view of her heaving breasts were bothering him






"What perfect?" Khushi asked nervously





"You are there, where I want you, close to me" Arnav said touching his nose with her






"But I am always this close to you" Khushi said





"I know, and I will make sure that you remain" he paused and looked at her pink glossed shiny lips "Can I kiss you?"





"Yes please..." Khushi said breathing heavily.





He slowly but sensuously caught her upper lip between his lips, before sucking it with a groan.





"Strawberry" he rasped out huskily





He parted her lips with his tongue and entered her mouth, he nudged her tongue and she forwarded it shyly, he caught her tongue between his lips and sucked, taking in all her saliva and giving her his.





"Chocolate" he again rasped out.




They continued, till they were out of breath, after their kissing session, they went out, to make that day memorable... as they knew coming night was theirs.


*FLASHBACK ENDS*


*************************


It had been 3 days since Khushi had been discharged from hospital, Garima, Shashi, bua ji all were hovering over her.





"Betiya drink this soup you will feel better" Garima pleaded.





"Sankadevi eat this fruit salad, it's good for your health" Bua ji shouted.





"Khushi Betiya you can watch TV, you will feel great" Shashi advised 





"OKAY, I will do everything, if you all let me go to office, it has been three days, I have not seen Ar... I mean AR designs, my office" Khushi said firmly, and Payal who was enjoying her families bickering smirked.





"NO" Three elders shouted.





"Okay, enough everyone, she is OK, and she can go to her office, she wants to improve in her career, her boss is quite insane, what if he kicks her out?" Payal asked faking bewilderment.






"He will never do that jiji" Khushi defended making Payal teasingly smirk at her.






"But... Payaliya why don't you understand, first that party incident now in office, I can't let her... I can't..." Garima's voice suddenly trembled when she remembered Khushi's pale face two years back on the hospital bed.






After Khushi got her consciousness, she didn't even recognize her, she had lost her memories, memories of her life, memories of her childhood, the unknown look that was in Khushi's eyes that time still haunts Garima.





Hearing her painful voice, Shashi side hugged her.





"I understand ma" Khushi said and looked down





How could she say, that why she wanted to go office when she herself was confused, but after lot of thinking she came to a conclusion that she wanted to meet her new friend... correction new best friend, because after the accident if Khushi ever felt safe and lively with anyone that was with Arnav, she felt at ease, she felt happy whenever he was around.





The dance which they had performed at party was engraved in her heart, she didn't say it out loud but she remembered her calling out Arnav's name before fainting in sauna room, and hence she knew that they were connected with each other in some way, but she was in no hurry, because as per doctor she couldn't pressurize her injured brain more than necessary.





But at the end, she needed peace, and hence she needed Arnav, she didn't know but there was a consuming urge to see him, to hold him, to talk to him about her painful situation but she was helpless, seeing her mother so broken, she decided not to go against her.





She didn't remember anything from her childhood but this woman was surely her mother, because the way she cradled Khushi face on her bosoms proves her motherhood purity.





Payal looked at her sister who was fighting within her, she prayed for her and her prayer was automatically answered when none other than Arnav Singh Raizada's voice boomed in Gupta house.


*********************************


"But beta, how can we send her in this condition" Shashi said and shared a worried glance with Garima




"Amma, bauji do you trust me?" Arnav asked.




"Yes..." Garima said caressing his head, for a moment Arnav closed his eyes and revived in the motherly touch.




"So let her go to office with me, I will take her and I will drop her to home, I promise... in her language, Pinky promise" Everyone laughed, soon they all agreed and blessed him, Shashi and Garima left the room.




   Arnav also stood up to go to Khushi's room and meet her when




"Babua... bahut prem karat hou na Sankadevi se {You love Sankadevi too much, isn't it?}" Bua ji asked smiling knowingly; Arnav gulped nervously and looked down to hide his embarrassment.





 "Go, to her, she needs you" Bua ji patted his back and moved out of the room.





When Bua ji disappeared, Arnav smiled, a genuine smile




"Yes, I love her lot, and this time I will not let her down"




Arnav hurriedly moved out of the room, when he got a call from ACP, he picked up call while moving towards Khushi's room, where he knew Khushi must be sulking.




"Any information?" Arnav asked in ASR tone.




"No, not yet, but we want your permission for..." ACP seemed hesitated.




"For?" Arnav inquired, he was in front of Khushi's room




"We are checking the backgrounds of all your employees, but we want to check backgrounds of your family also... So can we..." 





Arnav closed his eyes, how could he doubt his family, how could he gave permission of such thing, but Khushi's face flashed in front of him, and that was enough to wake up the protector inside him




"Go ahead ACP" Arnav said clenching his fist.

PROOF READ BY CHEESEMAD

This chapter is important for you all to know about the depth of feeling that Arnav have for Khushi

28. MINE

It had been three weeks since Khushi again joined office, she was happy with the way her life was going, she was thankful to Arnav, because before she met him she always felt incomplete, health was never an issue for her, she had promised herself to not stress her brain more, but before she had to try to distract herself but now Arnav was enough to distract her, she was again carefree, she was again happy, she was again living.

They worked together, they ate together, they laughed together, in short they spent most of the time with each other, but she knew better, she knew that there are many things they need to open up with, first her dreams, she wanted to share about her dreams, but she stopped thinking her friendship was new and she didn't want to look a lunatic in front of him.

The way he looked at her, the way he smiled at everything she said, the way he tucked back her hair behind her ear, the way he asked Tum theek ho, was something she could get use to, every moment spent with him was now Khushi's new memory.

Khushi smiled when she thought about her past 3 weeks, their friendship was becoming strong day-by-day but sometimes when Arnav looks at her, her skin broke into Goosebumps

Can I name this feeling only friendship? She thought while playing with the paratha which lay in front of her cold.

"Aree bitiya eat fast, where are you lost, you have to go to office too" Garima said pouring juice for Shashi in a glass.

"I am done ma, I am going, dad give me car key please" Khushi stood up cleaning her mouth with napkin, she asked Shashi for key, but Shashi sneakily passed a look at Garima and again resumed eating.

"What, dad I am getting late, see Arnav is not coming to pick me up today as he has an important meeting, jiji is also busy, but that doesn't mean I will miss out my office" Khushi pouted.

"Who said I am stopping you to go to office, just wait here I had called someone to drop you, I will not just let you go alone" Garima said in no-nonsense tone.

"Oh you called the driver" Khushi said with a relived expression.

"Do I look like a driver SD?"

Khushi turned back and found Karan standing with a smile on his face.

"Karan" Khushi said happily and went to him and hi-five-ed him saying hey buddy

"Only hi-five, I thought I deserve a hug" Karan said teasingly.

"That's only for my prince charming" Khushi said proudly which made Karan flinch a bit but he schooled his expression.

"Oh so Amma had called you to drop me off today, gosh she is too possessive for me; let's go I am getting late" Khushi said picking up her office bag. She started moving towards the gate when Karan called her from behind

"Hey SD, I must you look good in this office attire *coming close to Khushi* no actually you look beautiful" He winked at her and walked past her to his car

Khushi eyed his back suspiciously; somehow she didn't feel good the way Karan talks sometime, she shrugged the feeling and moved on.

*************

*FLASHBACK*

Arnav and Khushi spent the whole day together laughing, eating, cuddling, winking, teasing, kissing, but still they couldn't get enough of each other.

Arnav and Khushi had lied to their families about their night stay, they had excused themselves saying they would be staying in their friend's home tonight, but in reality it was their night, night of love.

Dinner was done, they were on the way to Arnav's farmhouse, and Khushi's nervousness was visible with the way she was fidgeting with her seatbelt.

Even Arnav's condition was not any better than hers, he was praying to Khushi's deity to intervene somehow, but he knew the truth, he himself wanted to mark her as his, but as it was his first time he was nervous too, may be more than her.

Yes, Arnav Singh Raizada was nervous, more nervous than Khushi, because the whole situation depends on Arnav, it is said that men are more experienced than women in this matter, Arnav was also known to the fact and process of love making, but he was expert only in theory as he had never done any practical before... In short he was a virgin.

He was a commerce student, not even a bio student, and sharing non-veg jokes with friends were altogether different from making love with Khushi.

As they reached their destination, he stopped in car in front of the farm house and clutched the wheel tightly, his knuckled turned white, then when Khushi placed her hand on his hand.

"Arnav you know I trust you"

This simple statement from her eased his muscles; he sighed and looked at her, his eyes showing his concern for her.

"Khushi I madly want you, infact you don't know since how many years I wanted to make love to you, every time kissing you was like a challenge to me, controlling my hands, my body was difficult for me, and then when you said you want me too, I was unable to decipher the situation, I wanted to crush you in my arms, take you to the bed, and ravish you, but I don't want to hurt you Khushi, you know how idiot I can be sometime" Arnav said caressing her cheeks, she closed her eyes in bliss

She took his free hand in hers and said: "Mr. Arnav Singh please can you mark me as yours, as I want to smell like you, I want to be known as yours, I want to see next morning with you, under a blanket all bare, and dare you to refuse me"

Arnav smiled at her feistiness and moved forward to kiss her, he caught her lips between his, and she too responded back by holding his nape to kiss him properly.

"Let's go inside, or you want my first time in this car" Khushi asked and pulled his cheeks.

"OK, chalo"

They moved inside the house, for sometimes they just talked about their memories of this house, they roamed here and there, and stopped in front of Arnav's bedroom.

Arnav looked at Khushi who was by now red, he held her chin and made her look up and gave her an assuring smile, he led her inside the room.

The room was decorated with flowers and candles, Arnav had made special arrangement for their night, he didn't want Khushi to feel bad anyhow, and he knew how filmy his Khushi was.

She smiled a teary smile and looked around

"Thank you" Khushi whispered hugging him and he hugged her back

"I have something for you, I want you to wear that for me, I have designed that keeping you in mind, will you wear that for me please" Arnav said breaking the hug.

She thought he wanted her to wear some lingerie or bikini, she blushed and nodded smilingly. Arnav went towards the bed and picked up a packet, he came to her and handed that packet with utter care

"Go and change" Arnav kissed her forehead

Khushi went inside the bathroom thinking how she will come out in a short dress, how Arnav will react after seeing her, all these questions were dancing inside her head.

She stripped off her clothes and looked at her hand and legs that she had waxed knowing the importance of this night, she was only standing in her inner wears, in front of mirror, she made her hair in a bun leaving few tendrils on face which made her look more exquisite, when she was done, she whistled at her image and bounced back to take the packet that she had hung behind the door.

Taking few deep breaths, she opened the pack guessing it as lingerie but what she saw left her stagnant, inside was a beautiful bridal red saree with blouse, inner skirt, and accessories with a note attached to it.

I want my bride to wear this for me

I love you

-Arnav

She sunk down holding the saree to her heart; she sobbed, smiled, and thanked every god for the man she got, the man who loved her like crazy

She was lucky, her love increased tenfold after seeing his respect for her 

I love you so much Arnav she murmured  

*FLASHBACK END*

****************

Karan stopped the car in front of AR designs; they both got out of the car

"Why don't you join KBS designs instead of AR, KBS is AR's branch, at least we would be together if you come there" Karan said leaning on his car

"And why would I do that Karan, I am happy where I am, actually working with Arnav is good for my career, he is a great company to work with, I used to dislike him first but after knowing him better, I know what lays inside that hard form of his" Khushi smiled when she talked about Arnav.

"Well, sorry to burst your bubble, the way you think he is a good man well he is not, he has a horrible past, you must know Sana..." Khushi cut him in middle

"Well she was his past; one thing I know is that he never loved Sana..." Khushi said 

"But he was..." Karan couldn't finish when he looked at the figure behind Khushi

"Let her decide what she thinks of me" Arnav said gritting his teeth, gulping his rage, he stepped close to Khushi with authority and placed his arm around her shoulder indicating about his presence

Khushi turned towards him with a wide smile and held his hand

"Arnav, how was your meeting, you know when you informed them you will be not coming to pick me up, Amma called Karan, I don't know why everyone hovers around me" She sulked and pouted at Arnav.

Instantly Arnav rage calmed down and he smiled looking at her, but again when his eyes went to Karan his temper flared.

"Khushi why don't you go inside and prepare the presentations, I will join you soon" Arnav said flicking her nose, Khushi made an O face and looked at Karan with an embarrassed face and went inside.

Arnav went towards Karan with a rigid face and stood in front of her

"I will tell her everything that how you had not trusted her, I will tell her about Sana, you get that" Karan said challenging Arnav

"Well I will do that myself, you don't need to worry, I love her, and she is mine, and no bloody moron can change that fact not even your god" Arnav said calmly, he tuned to leave but then stopped: "And one more thing, if you dared to tell her everything, I will finish you and your family, I will forget that you are in- laws of my dead brother"

"You will not do that" Karan said with an alarming expression.

"I can even stoop low to protect her" That being said Arnav walked out of there leaving a bewildered Karan

After getting his sense, he took out his mobile and dialed a number

"You said you will help me to get Khushi, but here Khushi is again..." Karan whined 

"I said I'll help you Karan, don't worry, Sana is on her way to AR, everything will be OK"

"Thanks" Karan sighed and kept the phone

Khushi I only want you to be safe, but if you stay with Arnav bhai anymore, you will in danger, and I am not ready to lose you like I lost my Di and jeeju, he can never keep you safe, you have to be with me, you are mine Khushi, MINE  Karan thought with determination
