Chapter 6

Three weeks passed and Khushi’s spirits seemed unbattered.
She was her old self, her happy self, truly Khushi. Arnav loved watching her like this. How many days had he hated himself for putting her through  this?? Since the day of her confession that night, his guilt was racking him. It was tearing him to pieces. He so much wanted to say he was sorry. But, fear of rejection and fear of his love getting her into more trouble with Shyam was stopping him. But after the incident last night he decided its time to tell her. They would face things together. No matter what. And she was more brave than him.
Khushi was filled with life once again. Geet and Khushi spoke daily. Geet brought out the best in Khushi. Khushi was so happy when she spoke to her Geet di. She guided her and listened to all that Khushi had to say. Geet narrated her entire love story of her and Maan to Khushi. Till the day they had become one in all true sense. Khushi was overwhelmed. She couldn’t help but think of this man who trusted and loved his wife immensely. She was so happy for her Di. Seeing them interacting on the phone, fighting over small things, the love that was passed on from him to her and her to him, Khushi couldn’t imagine life any better for any women.
Sometimes she felt herself even feeling little jealous of Geet Di. Geet laughed out loud hearing to her little sister. She understood that though Khushi was happy she was never truly happy. She had a faraway look when ever she told her and Mann;s story. Geet wondered what would have gone wrong in the life of this cute little girl who was a bundle of joy.
They went to temple together, spoke at night, discussed about everything and shopped together. Geet and Khushi was on one such conversation, discussing their shopping trip tomorrow.
Khushi: Acha Acha !!! I’ll defnetly come. Sure.
Khushi suddenly felt her pallu being tugged. Geet was still on the line and Khushi stopped listening to her. She saw Shyam’s reflection on the dish kept straight ahead.
Khushi was so angry. Shyam just smirked and neared her. Khushi by then had a streaming cup of hot  water that she was boiling for tea ready. As he neared her she sprang into action and splashed the hot water on his face. Shyam was so surprised and shrieked in pain. He somehow muffled his pain and looked at Khushi who was smirking at him. She walked forward and he was scared by the look in her eyes. She was exactly looking Mrs Arnav Singh Raizada in all sense. She walked to him and Said. “Don’t you dare. Don’t you dare you dirty scumbbag. Don’t you dare touch what belongs to Arnav Singh Raizada. I would never allow it. She again smirked and said, “if at all anyone asks you about this , tell them that you were wrong to touch what did not belong to you.” So saying she walked out of the kitchen. She then saw that she hadn’t disconnected the call and reached back to say Hello , but she bumped into Arnav.
Geet was worried sick when she stopped talking. She was calling out Jalebi, jalebi all along. Maan came into the room and saw Geet worried and calling out jalebi . Before he came near her, Geet stared speaking. “ok see u tomorrow jalebi’ and disconnected the call.
Maan observed Geet was so happy these days and always said. “Patha hein Maan, who jelabi na  yeh jalebi nah…. On and on…” Maan really wanted to see this jalebi who had taken a fare share of hos wife’s time apart from him. Maan came and hugged geet from behind.
He placed a small kiss on the nape of her neck “ What happened??? Why were you selling jalebi’s in our bedroom Geet?”  Geet immediately forgot everything the moment Maan hugged her. But his question brought her back She turned in his arms facing him and said “ Maan I told you khow about Jalebi, I think she is in big trouble, I am scared for her Maan. She is such a lovely girl. We need to help her.” Maan was surprised looking at Geet’s protective instinct. He looked at her and said “ Geet we can, but it should not be like we are interfrearing in anyone’s personal life. If it is something very serious and could be helped by us we shall defnetly do it for her.” Geet was so happy and she kissed Maan. Maan was surprised first and then he took matters in his hands.
As the night passed away in happy passion for Maan and geet it was a different story for Arnav and Khushi. Khushi bumped into Arnav and did not even stop to ask sorry. She just passed him and rushed to her room.
Arnav saw Shyam coming out of the kitchen and looked at his burnt skin and was so happy at what Khushi did. He had come in search of Khushi and saw her talking merrily over the phone without any hint of the creep looking at her from behind. Arnav’s jaw clenched and his temper hit height when he saw him catching her pallu. But before he could do anything, he saw what Khushi did. Arnav could.nt help but smile. Her next words brought great relief to his tormented heart and soul. The way she regarded his things, the way she said that she belonged to him brought happy tears in his eyes. He quickly moved away from her and was about to head to his room. But curiosity got the better of him and headed back and bumped into her.
He then smirked at Shyam and went back to his room. By the time he got back she was sleeping on the floor. He could’nt help it but he bend down and kissed her and that night he slept on the couch making wicked plans to make his angel sleep on the same bed. Till then he would also not sleep on it

Chapter 8

Maan was very happy these days. He felt that his life was complete. When he spoke to Jalebi the first time, he felt like his heart had found a part of it in her. Her voice, strangely reminded him of someone so close to him. When she said that her name was Khushi, he was over whelmed. One fleeting second, he thought that she might be his Gudiya.   Her name, her voice, the warmth he felt listening to her chatter was increasing his gut feeling that she might be his Gudiya.   Geet was on their bed, flinging her legs and humming a tune happily. When he entered, she smiled at him and asked, “Maan, are you free tomorrow evening?” Maan looked at the beautiful picture she was. Lying on her stomach in his bed, just turning half towards him and looking at him so lovely with that big doe like eyes. He smiled at her. Who could deny her? He joined her on the bed “ Haan Geet anytime for my beautiful wife” Geet smiled and placed her hand on Maan. Both of them were facing each other lying on o...

Chapter 9

Arnav drove recklessly. He had ruined everything. His happiness, his life, his Khushi,. His Khushi, Oh how it felt. Why him? Why him always??? Why had he been the one to see that none of his dreams turned in to reality. Why?? Why could he not take this? This is too much. He is a monster. It all started well. That Scum . If alone he could kill him, he would definitely.   **Flash back** Arnav walked into the room tired of all the preparations for his sister’s Godh barai ceremony tomorrow. It was the first in the family and he had literally done each and every arrangement himself. He wanted it to be the best and alas!!! This is the best he could. As tiredness threatened to overpower his senses, he saw the most refreshing site. He saw his wife clad in green saree just like the sangeet night. Hair put up on a small top not and looking dreamily at the night sky and her parents. Her saree was transperant and netted. She had carelessly clad it in a single pleat. The saree was blowing with ...

Chapter 3

Maaannn!!!!! screeched Geet. Geet was getting irritated and impatient. SHe had to go to the DM temple for the pooja and this Maan... " Hey Babaji, how long will it take for him to get ready. He is making me wait for almost 30 mins. " Maan called out to her "Geet!!!!!  " "Haan Maan" "Get me my towel na " Geet was just mimbling " yeh Maan be na" suddenly she felt her being pulled in "Maan !!!!!" the rest of her words were drowned in within as Maan never allowed her to utter any word further. Geet smiled to herself as she was going on in the car with the thali to the Temple. It was almost 5 mins since she dropped him at the office and headed to the temple and she missed him already. She was hopelessly in  love with Maan.!!!!!!! She got down from the vehicle and breathed in the pure air. She had a great feeling suddenly. But could'nt just identify it. SHe walked up the stairs and prayed in front of the DM. She prayed for h...
