Khushi : Happy Birthday little girl ( She smiled as Ashi jumped happily pulling her )
Ashi : Yeh Mere Liye ? Do ? ( She asked, snatching the gift away from her hand before she closed her eyes tight hearing her mother's voice )

Ashi : chalo nah angel dost .. I will show you my gifts ... And My friends also .. ( Ishita shook her head, as Ashi pulled her along with her )
******************
Khushi rubbed her throat by her palm as she looked around standing at a corner of the hall ..
Ashi is a sweetheart who was excitingly introduced her to her friends before she got busy and rushed around the area with her friends to play ...
Ishita smiled handing her a glass of  Coldrink while Khushi reluctantly took it ..
Ishita : Arrey ? Why are you standing here all alone .. kuch lijiye nah ... ( she said ) Look at her Energy level but when it comes to  study she will fell all tired ( she laughed ) Come nah ..I will  make you meet my Husband .. inha pe bhi inhe kaam se fursaat nahi ..( She laughed out before spotting her husband who is speaking with some one and Ashi has already got on his lap bickering her to cut down her cake )
Khushi frowned looking at Ishita's husband who was facing back towards her with Ashi in his arms ..She can feel the Aura that screamed richness around him .... she fiddles her fingers before Ishita dragged her to meet her husband
Ishita: Suniye nah.. ( Arnav turned around looking at Ishita with a smirk playing in his lip but then his eyes shifted on Khushi who stood rooted at the spot ) She is tucking on you already ? Energy Khatam ( She sighed ) I told you about Ashi' Angel Dost ... She is Khushi .... My friend from Temple .. and Khushi ..He is my husband ..Arnav ..Arnav Singh Raizada ..
Arnav's eyes darkened as his gaze fixed on Khushi with anger started seething into his senses .....
Ashi : Angel Dost .. Paah ... Ashi's Angel dost ( the little girl clapped her hand happily as she tried to lean towards Khushi but Arnav's hold tightened around her waist )
Khushi suddenly felt hollowness around her, as the realisation drawn upon her .. ASHI ... She is Ashi Arnav Singh Raizada ... that is why she have felt her resembling so much with Arnav ..
It's his daughter's birthday party ..... and Ishita ...she is no one but Arnav's wife ..She glanced at the small family ..they looks so perfect with each other .... but where does she stand ?
Khushi : Arnav ji ... ( Words escaped automatically from her mouth as Ishita frowned)
Ishita : Why do I feel you both know each other ..
Arnav : She works at AR ...Ishita ... Anhh ASHI ... Behave ( He told his daughter who tried to lean to Khushi ) Ishita you should have checked with me before calling each and everyone  to our Party .. We have a Standard not everyone belongs to the class ..
His tone was quite rude enough making Arnav's prospective very clear ...
Ishita sighed looking at Khushi who felt humiliated with tears filling her eyes ...
Arnav : Come We should not waste more time .. Let's cut the cake It might have arrived .. Ashi you don't want to see your cake
He took his daughter away as Ishita sighed ..
Ishita : I am sorry ...He didn't mean to offend you ... He might sounds rude but Dil ka kharab nahi hai .. Please ...
She whispered before she walks away as Arnav called her ....
***************************
"Zindagi pyar ka geet hai
Isse har dil ko gaana padega
Zindagi gham ka sagar bhi hai
Hans ke us paar jaana padega"
Khushi gulps the turmoil forming inside her throat as she stood at a corner staring as the scenes unfold infront of her
Ashi jumped in Arnav's lap as she leans cutting her birthday cake ... The Applause echoed around with a Birthday song playing across ... Arnav fetch his daughter who seems to be so happy with her Parents ...
She gulped as she find them posing for the camera .. He looks so happy , so contend !!
Khushi let out a sigh, as she felt a palm on her shoulder ... She turned only to find Aman looking at her concernedly ..
Aman : Bhabhi ( He whispered )
Khushi : They looks so happy together .. He moved on ... so easily ...
Aman : bhabhi ..... I will not ask you what are you doing over here ? But Bhabhi I will suggest please leave ..
Khushi : I am fine !! ( She sighed) I am fine ... I know He have moved on ... But it still it hurts me here ..( she stroke at her heart by her fingers ) . Dard hota hai ... aaj bhi dard hota hai ...  Bhul nahi pata hoon woh zakhm jo unhone mujhe diya ..
She stepped away from Aman as tears make way of her own
*****************************
"Jiska jitna ho aanchal yahan par
Usko saughaat utni milegi
Phool jeevan mein gar na khilein to
Kaaton se bhi nibhana padega"
Khushi grasped as she find herself being pinned against a corner as she find Arnav looking at  her, as she find his nails digging on her skin
Arnav : Waah Khushi Kumari Gupta... You curved your path reaching my family ... Not Bad !! Impressive !! FIRST my Office and now my home and targetting my daughter ... What you intend to do ? Using them against me ?
Khushi looked at him with tears in her eyes before she shrugged his hand away off her
Khushi : What do you think of me ? I am not you who uses people for their own benefit .. Neither did I have any idea about them related to you .. But  aap kyu darr rahe ho ...
Arnav : Darr ? ( he laughed out ) The Feast is quite delicious .. Do enjoy it ... I am sure you have never seen such food forget about eating in your life time ... ( He left her with a jerk as he turned around leaving )
***********************
Khushi closed her eyes tight as the flashes of the past started coming infront of him ..
" Khushi , It's you who understand me so well .... After Maa if I find solace in anyone it's you "
" Khushi .. Bharosa Karo  Mujhpe .. We will overcome together "
" Ek Aashiyaan Banayenge Jaha tum ... Mein Aur Dher Saari Khushiyaan Hoga "
" Khushi I will bring the World at your feet .... I promise ... The happiness will swipe off your feet "
" I got a Job Khushi!! The City of the Dreams will definately fulfill our dreams "
" Ek din!! One Day, I will own a mansion right across this Arabian Sea ..  and the first thing would be the ocean which we will see every morning from our bedroom window .. Tum aur Mein Khushi "
" Marry Me Khushi "
" Hold on me tight Khushi .... I cannot afford loosing you .. I love you "
" Let me embrace you my Love.. Let me show you the Passion I have for you .... You are mesmerizing Khushi ... Do Dil Ek jaan ... We finally becomes One "
" Arnav has denied coming to the Wedding .. He is not responding to the call "
" I am sorry Khushi ... We cannot able to save your baby  "
"Hai agar door manzil to kya
Raasta bhi hai mushkil to kya
Raat taaron bhari na mile to
Dil ka deepak jalana padega
Zindagi pyar ka geet hai
Isse har dil ko gaana padega"
Khushi stumbled her steps as she walked aimlessly on the road  ... Rain started pouring ...as her heart cried louder with tears blurring her vision .. She knows that Arnav have started a family and have a daughter she thought she have moved on .... Overcome her fear, Pain ... but then nothibg changed .. She felt herself going vunerable seeing him with his family .. A Woman carrying his name, his baby which is not her ...
Sigh!! Her baby would have been of same age as kf Ashi  if it could have make it's way to the world...
She  stood up holding on herself as she find her feet bleeding ... She didn't realise when her foor hit a stone making her fallen down
"Zindagi ek peheli bhi hai
Sukh-dukh ki saheli bhi hai (x2)
Zindagi ek vachan bhi to hai
Jise sabko nibhana padega
Zindagi pyar ka geet hai
Isse har dil ko gaana padega
Zindagi gham ka sagar bhi hai
Hans ke us paar jaana padega"
****************************
Aman sighed as He watched Khushi getting inside the Auti .. He have followed Khushi seeing her leaving the hotel ...
He clenched his fist feeling the pain she must be gone through .. He turned around only to find Arnav there who have come outside to attend a phone call ...
Arnav : What are you doing here Aman ? I heard that you have sanctioned an early leave to Khushi ? Why is that so ? And don't tell me you are falling weak on her ..
Aman : Do you realise your Word? ... and Khushi do you look at her state ?
Arnav : Please I am not interested in her , Darn She reached till my house samjhti kya hai khudko
Aman : Arnav Singh Raizada ... The woman you are loathing so much is the one for whom You are able to celebrate Ashi's birthday today .. Maa Hai uski .. Tu bhool sakta hai but Dekh Tera Beti uske Maa ko thik Pehchaan gayi ..
He said mockingly as Arnav grits his teeth before he punched hard on Aman's face..
