The Contract Marriage Period //Arshi Story//

Chapter 30 ~ Last

'An old building in the village Arshapur caught fire an hour back. It was believed that no one lives in the street but then, a lady found dead few metres away from the building.

Upon, enquiring we get to know that it is Anjali Jha, sister of the business tycoon ASR.

Another interesting fact is that, Anjali's husband Mr. shyam Manohar Jha, who was searched by police for his illegal activities, was consumed by the fire in the building.

Raizada family is in deep sorrow and Mr. Aman , PA of ASR, released a statement on behalf of Raizadas.

He said, that the family is in agony for loosing their daughter.

When asked about what happened and how did Mrs. anjali die?

All he said was, "They were some family disputes and Mrs. anjali and Mr. Jha separated few weeks ago after knowing about Mr. jha's illegal activity...

And there was a huge fight which resulted in being them dead unfortunately."

He refused to divulge any information further.'

Arnav saw the same news being hired in every channel.

A business tycoon's life is after all a trp game to all channels.

They don't care about what the truth is until they get good trps.

That's the reason he made Aman speak to them. He knows no one will dare to disturb him after his strict warning.

He looked at the person sleeping on the bed with one hand clutching the baby fingers.

Looking at the pale face of Khushi, his heart ached. But he was happy that she is alive and before him.

***

Arnav raced with all the vehicles on the road.

All the way, his mind was repeating 'please let her be fine.'

When he reached there he found his di struggling to take the match box of out shyam's hand.

At one side,Akash lying on the pool of blood and his body covered with several wounds.

He ran towards him, and shouted at akash to wake up. He heard a slight whisper from him.

Rahul ran near anjali and helped her.

Arnav called Rahul for help, who by now, tied shyam down to a stand with anjali's help.

Asking Rahul to take akash hospital.

He looked at the room but found her no where.

'Chotte, shyam tied her in the room. I think khushi's labour pain started. Go fast and take her to hospital. Go don't stand...'

He ran towards the room and saw khushi clutching her stomach in pain. He ran towards her and carried her out with him.

Opening the car door, he gave a glance at anjali who gave a weak smile.

'Di why are u standing there? Come on, let's go...'

' no chotte, you first take khushi ji to hospital. I have to take care of few things here.'

Oblivious to the fact, that he saw anjali for the last time, Arnav took khushi to hospital.

******

'Arnavji...', khushi's soft whisper pulled him out of his thoughts.

'Are you thinking about di Arnavji?'

He looked at Khushi who tried sitting up but fell back in bed making him rush towards her.

'Khushi be careful what was the need to get up. You had an operation, just rest.'

'I am ok Arnavji... You tell me... Are not you thinking about Di? you had no one to share the sorrow. Even I was in labour... So at least open up now...'

He embraced khushi and weeped his heart out.

She didn't disturb him and supported him with her silence.

She knows di's act of killing Shyam and then killing herself shattered arnav.

She knows di is wrong in doing it but then, what happened is happened.

They can't do anything apart from moving on...

*****

Few years later,

Arnav and khushi married with all the proper rituals and soon they are awaiting the presence of new born.

Their four year old daughter Zeba is soon going to be a sister.

Akash and Gupta family apologized to Arnav, who was sad with his Di's death, accepted it so that he won't loose akash too.

Manorama was realesed from jail and upon khushi's insistence he brought her back Home who now is a changed person.

Nani and dadi passed away two years back.

Rahul flew to states to set up his business and now a successful business tycoon there.

Aki can now speak and hear. Thanks to arnav who contacted best surgeons to treat her.

Khushi played cupid and made Rahul remarry.

All was well and soon they the newborn arrived...

Arnav and khushi was content with their life.

They know the life is not full of roses. But they have each other to support and walk on the thorns that pricks them.
