Khushi jerks out of her thoughts sighing harder , She cannot even thought that her Own Mother ..can go to such extent .. If it was not for Her … Arnav would not have leave Garima for the act she did that day ..
She never thought her mother can able to hurt ASHiI just because She never accepted Arnav or their relationship ..
It is so complex !! Gosh!! Where is he messing up 
******************************************************************************** 
Next Morning , 
Ashi narrowed her eyes as she keep swaying her legs enjoying her choco Milkshake while looking carefully at her Grand Mother who seems to be busy in Making Preparation , Seems some guests are going to come .. 
Khushi looks at Ashi and gulps seeing her narrowing eyes , Her Mother has just inform her in this morning that the Family is coming to see her today .. Dam!! Where is she stuck ? why the hell she gets ready for the Marriage .. Now Knowing her daughter Very Well this girl cannot keep anything in her stomach ..and surely this news will soon been reaching to his Ears .. After all a Devil’s daughter is always being a Devil Herself …

Khushi : you have not finished your milk shake yet ? 
Ashi : mumum .. Why Nani is saying that My papai is coming today in the home ? But Papai ko toh moti nani dislike hai … ( She said making a huffy face) and .. I find Out .. Ki .. Nani is calling that Uncle My Papai ? why ? Mein Papai ko bolti hoon abhi ..( she said jumping out of the couch keeping the glass down on the table before Khushi hold her hand shushing her daughter) 
Khushi : betu !! You are a Good girl are not You ? you know that your Dad must be busy in Working Now ? Why are you disturbing him unnecessarily … !! and Ashu does it matter when you know who your dad is ? 
Ashi : don’t try to fool me mumum ? You are not worry about Papai ..You are fearing about Papai’s Gussa ..i know everything !!! 
Khushi groaned as she called for Ashi who ran away while Khushi sighed placing her palm on her forehead groaning out loudly .. 
*********************************************** 
Khushi : Maa ? was it too necessary for you to arrange all these in such Hurry ? I mean 
Garima : Why Khushi ? Are you rethinking about your decision khushi ? Dekho Nikhil is a good Guy Beta .. and his family is quite a Good Reputed one in the City .. I don’t want to miss the Opportunity 
Khushi let out a sigh looking at her Mother !! How the Hell would she tell her Mother that she is not interested in marrying anyone else … Why should she marry when she is already married to the father of their Child ASR .. 
Sigh !! Wish Her Mother would have understand her … Then Things would have been bEtter !! Wish .. She could do something to wipe out the Hatred that is been sowed in between Arnav and Her Mother 
Khushi : Maa ..I did not mean that .. 
Garima : I can understand Beta .. ( she touched her Cheeks ) Whatever happened in the past .. Let it Go ... .. You deserve better Khushi .. a Brighter a Better Future … 
Khushi closed her eyes letting a deep breathe but then sighed as she opened her eyes looking at her 
Khushi : Maa .. I know .. You are not much happy with the way I chose in the past … 
Garima : True !! I was always against the path you have chosen .. Neither I was happy of you entering into a Relationship with that Man … Nor I was happy when You decided to give birth to ASHI ..
Khushi : But Maa .. Ashi has no fault in this ? 
Garima : Do You Realize that What impact it led on the Woman who becomes mother without a being Married ? Khushi … Whatever You called it ..Your stubbornness or Foolishness but You have paid a Big Price while staying with that CRIMINAL …. I am Your Mother Khushi … Before Everything My children happiness comes first .. and .. Moreover it ..I am sorry to say But How much I am concerned about ASHI but whenever I see her I remember about the Dirty blood of that Criminal in her body who killed Your Brother … 
Khushi : (gulps) Maa … Please …. Don’t call her with Names .. 
Garima : I am sorry !! Let’s not talk with these .. It’s that I want your happiness .. Go and Get Ready .. The Family would be coming soon to see you ..
Khushi sighed looking at Garima’s disappearing back as s he wipes out the corner of her eyes 
Khushi : Wish You could have understand where my happiness actual stays!! I don’t know Maa … What future leads but I doubts if Arnav will ever able to forgive you … and if He cannot forgive you .. then you will be losing your daughter also like the way you lose your son .. Just the difference will be .. Unlike Him , I will be alive but still will dead for you
