Reality Check ✔

Part 4

Arnav sighs and tells what he saw and heard in the terrace, his confrontation with shyam, how he decide to tell all this to di and come to know about her pregnancy, how he blackmailed khushi by threatening to break aakash and payal marriage and put condition of 6 months contract marriage, khushi's acceptance without no choice and their bitter past 6 months marriage. The minute he said finishing a loud sound echoed in hospital room,

SLAP...

Arnav holds his cheeks and sees his nani who was standing opposite to him with spitting fire in her eyes and raising her hand. He was almost shocked but he deserved it didn't he?? He tortured the poor soul in this marriage without caring her feelings who happened to be his love. But what to do when a mother-like figure in your life is in danger and the miseries are due to the love of his life. Again if the history is going to repeat then what can he do? He did the only option that is available to him because he cannot send his love away, who taught him to smile and live his life. But his thoughts are broken by nani,

Nani: How can you do this arnav?? Who gave you permission to play with khushi betiya's life? Is this what we taught you?? You are not the chotte we raise; you are your father's son. You accept it or not you are like him only, don't understand woman feelings and play with others life, said with venom in her voice.

Arnav stood still hearing nani words, how much he hates his father but today he is compared to the same man.

All are shocked by the new revelation. Here all behaved coldly with khushi but the actual culprit is arnav. But khushi being khushi doesn't even let to others know about this sacrificing her life. These are the thoughts that are running in all their mind.

Buaji asks to khushi: Is this true titaliya ? All eyes turned are now shifted towards khushi.

Khushi sees all of them and finally her eyes land on arnav whose eyes are guilty and again turns towards buaji silently continues, "Haan buaji what arnavji said was true" Payal suddenly hugged her and cryingly says,

Payal: Why you agreed to this khushi? You should have told me, pagal why you sacrificed your life for me???

Garima: khushi betiya atleast once you should have told us. When i slapped you, why you stood silent. You are at no fault but we punish you, sorry betiya...said this hugging her.

Buaji: we are sorry titaliya, you bear so much in small age, we too don't understand you at that time, said caressing her hairs whose head is on garima shoulder.

Khushi: Don't say sorry buaji, amma, jiji, she pleads wiping her tears.

Nani comes near gupta family and holding her both palms together and says,

Nani: We are very sorry for our son's fault. I know one sorry is not enough and it cannot bring back past moments. So please if khushi betiya wishes to live with arnav, we are happy to accept her as bahu of raizada house. This time with a marriage full of traditions. I promise you arnav will take good care of her.

Arnav was happy to hear nani's decision of marriage. He mentally plans how to woo khushi and a big fat traditional indian wedding like khushi dreamt.

But khushi's thoughts are opposite, she recalls all the past from the time she met arnav and the following encounters until arnav and mami conversation in the hospital. What did she got till now for fallen in love with a heartless man? Only hate, abuses, his arrogant heartless words, what not? Finally, recalls arnav saying how she's the mistake of his life. That's all, she hold her place in his heart. She is nothing more than a mistake for him. Now it's time for her to leave from this forced marriage and she decides her answer.

Khushi: I am sorry naniji, i don't want to live with arnavji said with a determined voice, shocking arnav to the core.

Arnav was shocked would be an understatement. He thought she will accept nani's wish and come to live with him. How irony is it? He wants her to forgive him for his mistakes but he didn't even showed her ounce of his love, yet his foolish heart refused to believe that. But at the same time his thoughts wander around the possibilities of her reason behind this decision. Is he broke her heart that much? Khushi who can forgive anyone with a smile not forgive him or she doesn't love him. He's shuddered at the thought. His thoughts are interrupted by,

Shyam: Because of my mistake don't punish saleesahib khushiji. Due to my greedy, i thought to separate you both with my lie. Saleesahib has no mistake in this whole thing, he said trying to mend his mistake by uniting them both. This is his first step of repentance.

Khushi: Don't interfere in my decision shyamji. I know how to take a decision. So please you keep your concentration on anjali di, that is enough. I'll be happy if you don't poke your nose in my matter, she told sternly.

This day couldn't be more shocked than this-escaping from shyam, khushi's almost death, di's miscarriage, khushi's decision...thought arnav. He don't understand that shyam is truly repenting or not?? He supports him and tells khushi to accept him indirectly. This is not the time to think about all this arnav concentrate on khushi now, his mind chided him. He come out of his musings and said,

Arnav: I want to talk to khushi alone.

Nani: No arnav, till now you did what you thought, but now onwards you cannot do that. We don't allow you to talk to khushi alone who knows maybe you can again threaten her, she almost ordered him.

Defeated himself before nani, arnav painfully sees khushi but she turns aside. Arnav heart broke into million pieces seeing this and suddenly he felt all his full energy drained out.

Buaji: Samadji we like to take khushi betiya to our home. Now she did not want to live with arnav bituwa, so what is the use of her here. So please allow us to take her to our home.

Nani: ok madhumatiji, we'll soon come to your home for discussing khushi betiya's life after anjali discharge. Namaste.

All left the waiting room leaving broken arnav who still stares painfully at the side khushi went. He felt as if his whole life went away from him.
