Arshi ki kahaniyan

SS 1.2

Khushi woke up to a throbbing headache next morning. She tried to stand up but gave up feeling weak . For a foodie like her staying without food for so long was taking a toll on her health. She only had a glass of juice last night. As much as she didn't want to eat, she knew she had to eat something so that she doesn't pass out because she knew a family like hers wouldn't even bother to check on her .

She was about to move towards the door when hp entered with a food trolley. He wished her good morning in a cheerful voice to which she responded with a soft smile. Hp was much better than those people she called her own.

Bhabi Arnav bhaiya called and told me to make sure that you have your breakfast properly.
Hp informed her when he noticed her questioning gaze.

Arnavji?
Khushi felt her heartbeats rise at the thought of her husband caring for her .

Yes bhabhi , now please have your breakfast otherwise Arnav Bhaiya would scold me.
He completed with a fearful tone making khushi chuckle a little

Thankyou hp ji . Hum kha leinge .
(I will eat)
Khushi spoke and went to freshen up while hp left to do his chores

Khushi could only manage to eat a little because her heart and mind were not a peace . Traitor tears would grace her cheeks every now and then which she would wipe away harshly. Angered at her ownself for crying for such people. Khushi made a decision or rather promised herself that she would only wait till Arnav comes back home to see his take on this whole fiasco and even if he slightly holds her responsible for any single thing she would leave, leave him to stay with this selfish family of his because she just had enough.

Afternoon

Anjali was discharged and Arnav and anjali reached Raizada mansion where everyone stood at the door to welcome their princess . Mami and nani hugged her one by one . Once they were done pampering her at the door they moved inside . Anjali was still wearing an emotionless expression giving zero cents to the love and care showered upon her .

Arnav looked around in search of a particular someone,in search of those hazel eyes which captivated his heart. He silently moved towards the kitchen to check if his wife was there but she wasn't there . Instead payal stood there busy preparing food and it looked like it was some special occasion because of the amount of dishes that were made . Hp and jp were helping her .

Arnavji do you need something?
Payal asked

Before Arnav could say something hp spoke

Khushi bhabi is upstairs in her room.
Arnav just nodded at him thankfully and walked out of the kitchen leaving a somewhat confused payal .

Payal Singh Raizada was fighting a fight within herself. On one side was her baby sister whom she loved dearly and always protected from her amma and buaji . On the other side was her husband and his family . She knew no matter how much she does for them , they will never accept her wholeheartedly . Atleast her mother-in-law wouldn't. So for the first time in her life she went for the option dearest to every single person of her family i.e. abandon khushi and become good in the eyes of others . In her heart she knew that she didn't want this, her sister did not deserve this but she couldn't risk her relationship with her husband for that. When Arnav asked about khushi she was confused as when Anjali was in such a state how was Arnav bothered about khushi instead of roaming around his di . She sighed . This family was something she could never understand.

Arnav moved towards the staircase when mami stopped him much to his annoyance

Where are you going Arnav bitwa . Sit with us and eat something. You too did not eat anything properly since yesterday.
She silently signaled him to look at his sister who was lost in her own thoughts
