THE HAPPINESS CAFE ~ THE ARSHI STORY

1. The Wedding Day

Khushi was waiting for the Raizada's to come. She was so excited to start a new life with her husband. It's not like she hasn't been in that place before, but this time it is different. She started getting the flashbacks of the night they spent together. His touch was so soothing. The way they were lost in each other. After what they have shared yesternight, she is being more desperate to be his legally wedded wife.

On the other side, Arnav was also in the same situation. He couldn't wait anymore to have his khushi in his arms again. He could still feel khushi's taste on his lips. Last night's flashes were sending him chills and he wanted to have her again. But before that he wanted to bring his wife back with full honour and respect.

BOTH ARNAV AND KHUSHI WERE ENJOYING THEIR WEDDING JITTERS AND DESPERATELY WAITING FOR THE AUSPICIOUS TIME TO COME, UNAWARE OF THE STORM THAT WAS TO COME THEIR WAY AND READY TO DESTROY THEIR LIVES.

Arnav was getting ready when dadi came to the room and told him the truth about Garima. The truth broke something in him. The ASR, who had successfully buried the vulnerable Arnav inside him for years, could feel that he has lost control on his control over his vulnerability. All the flashes from that horrific day, could again be seen. Arnav could not think right.
His mom. The other lady. His cheating Dad. The Gunshot. He could see it all happening again. He couldn't hold it and blasts into tears. He shouted at the loudest of his voice. His heart was bleeding. And suddenly the flashes of last night came in his mind. He could hear khushi saying "hume bharosa hai.. aap par... aapke pyaar par." He whispered "Khushi". He immediately remembers about his love who is waiting for him at the alter. He was so confused now. What should he do now? Whom should he choose? Khushi or His Mom. He was so confused and angry that he left the house taking his car.

Dadi smirked. She was successful in making that unmannered girl out from her grandson's life. Immediately after Arnav, Dadi too left for the marriage venue.

Meanwhile Raizada's have already reached the venue dancing and enjoying. Listening to the voices, Khushi immediately ran towards the hall to see her Arnavji. She was roaming her eyes everywhere to find her solace but couldn't find him. She was now getting anxious. There is something wrong. Everyone started teasing here for the desperation to meet her husband and told her that Arnav is coming in a different car with Dadi. She smiled a little but deep down she could sense that something is not right. She took a deep breath and prayed to her devi maiya for Arnav's safety and started looking towards the entrance, waiting for him.
