The story starts from the point shown in the cover picture, Arnav and Khushi reuniting in the kidnap location.

"Gustakh dil, Dil mein mushqil Mushqil mein dil mushqil mein dil Gustakh dil, Thoda sambhal, Thoda buzdil Dard ke dar pe thehra hai kyun Sazayein sazayein yeh khud ko kyun deta nayi Hasne ki dhun mein rota hai kyun Sahi kya ghalat kya Yeh kuch bhi samjhta nahi Gustakh dil..." It was their siblings wedding day and they both had decided to finally confess their feelings to each other. So with the intention of professing his love for her, he had made his way to the terrace and instead he had witnessed the scene of seeing the girl he loves in another man's arm... in his Brother-in-law's arms. The scene broke his heart and hours later he walks in his home married to the girl without letting anyone know. Everyone is angry, verbally jabs are thrown at them but no one knows the reason of this sudden marriage... Why did Arnav marry Khushi...? People are jealous and want to separate them... can they both face the odds together...? Or will they both be at odds themselves...? [ON-HIATUS DUE TO BECOMING NEW PARENTS. WILL RETURN WITH NEW CHAPTERS AS SOON AS PERSONAL SITUATION AND HEALTH ALLOWS.]

Nani 'Where is Khushi betiya? Can't see her anywhere?' Maami twitching her nose 'Aur nahiin toh ka, today we have come to see her sister for marriage proposal and she is not around' Buaji looked at Garima with apprehension before telling too sweetly 'She has left to Lucknow' Payal sitting between Anjali and Nani is all tensed. Arnav's head snapped towards her Lucknow....Akash, Lavanya, and Anjali too surprised at the news. Anjali voiced out everyone's mind question 'When? Why?'

They were betrayed by people whom they loved. They lived all these years in pain. NOW IT'S TIME FOR A PAYBACK!

He hated his past not knowing it will lead him to LOVE and his REAL IDENTITY AND TO HIS MOTHER AND RIGHTFUL PLACE. SHE wished she was dead after her parent died not knowing she was alive for a good reason. SHE is hiding from the world with a new face thinking she lost everything not knowing she was about to gain the lost part of her and avenge her love and son Things are not the way they seem in the Gupta and Raizada houses and hearts are about to be broken and healed with love and truth. Watch how their broken roads lead to each other. Peep in to know more. This is my first story and has been sitting in my draft for over a year and half. I hope you like it.

As an avid fan of Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon? on Star Plus, there were many moments where I felt the story could have been better. This is my attempt at taking a divergent route from what was shown on TV. This is my take at what the Arshi story would have looked like had the story taken a turn after the temple bandage scene. At this point Arnav and Khushi realize there is an unnamed tug between the two of them. It does not have a name yet. They are both engaged or to be engaged to other people.

ये इश्क़ नहीं आसान बस इतना समझ लीजिये, एक आग का दरिया है और डूब के जाना है. Yeh ishq nahi aasaan, bas itna samajh lee jiye
Ek aag ka darya hain, Aur doob ke jaana hain (This love is not easy one needs to understand, it is an ocean of fire and you can only drown in it to cross it) ---------------------------- AN ARSHI FANFIC - Picking up from the night of the contract marriage this will be a tale of passion, deception and unbreakable resolve. Will the fire between them burn away the lies, or will silence become their undoing? I don't own the characters of Arnav, Khushi & others and this story is fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead or actual events is purely coincidental.

A story based on the characters of Indian TV series Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Not related to the series, so can be read as an independent story too. Arnav and Lavanya are engaged to be married, but when Lavanya elopes, all hell breaks loose, and Khushi, her best friend, has to pay the price. Khushi is harboring a secret from the Raizadas, and when she enters the Raizada household, she struggles with her conscience, since she really likes the family. Arnav wants to find out Khushi's secrets, while trying to keep his distance from her. A light-hearted, sweet tale about the journey two strangers take to get to their very own romantic end.

What if Devyaani Raizada was the one who saved Khushi from the goons in Lucknow instead of Shyam?

Its a story about our beloved Arshi. Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta
