CHAPTER 15: ON HIS DEMAND

(DIVULGEMENT)

 

***
Lavanya smiled her evil smile inwardly "She will be happy if I will give her chance to. Laugh Mrs. Raizada as much as you want because today is your last day. At least I could do this much for you."

***

"Payal bitiya are you ready!?"

"Yes, Dadi! I am all ready! Just have to see if Gavy and Addy are ready."

"Don't worry I have asked their nanny to get them ready!"

"Alright Dadi. I look for other things while then!"

"Thank you bitiya!"

"Akash, NK, Dhruv are you kids ready?" Nani asked as she knocked on the door of guys changing room.

"We all are getting Dadi. Another 5 minutes,"NK shouted from inside the change room.

"Okay where is chote? Is he back yet?"

"No dadi not yet. I have called him and he said he will be back in an hour," Akaash replied.

"It's already 5:00 PM and guests has started arriving."

"Don't worry dadi he will come!" Dhruv replied.

"Okay, fine you come outside soon!"

"Yes, Dadi!"

"Mary is Khushi bitiya ready?"

"Not yet mam she is looking after some work that needed to be finished and her dress and her beautician are not here yet!"

"What? Okay, call Sharon to drop her clothes in ten minutes and ask Pam what time she will be here!"

"Yes, Mam!"

"O.P. has H.P. back from his village?"

"Yes, Naniji!" H.P. said as he came running and touched her feet.

"God bless you! When did you come? And how is your mother?"

"She is prefect Nani Ji and I just returned in the afternoon!"

"Okay, H.P. check in the basement kitchen, if chefs have gotten all the sweets ready and ask Mary to check the food too."

"Nani ji Khushi bhabi ji has checked the kitchen work already!"

"Oh, okay go and ask her to get ready!"

"Yes, Naniji."

"Why she is doing all this work? This girl doesn't even take care of herself! But this manorama, she doesn't care about anything except herself," Nani Ji was muttering under her breath when she bumped into mami. 

"Here she is?"

"Hello, sasu ma (mother-in-law)!"

"Are you just back from salon now?"

"Oh sasu na you know how important is for me to look beautiful. After all, there will be my picture on the front page of the morning newspaper. So, yes it just took me 9 hours to get ready! Well how do I look?"

"Beautiful as always!" Nani said fuming at her.

"Thank you sasu ma!"

"If you could please do me a favour and stand at the door and welcome the guest!"

Mami ji got irritated.

"Don't worry your makeup will not fall apart, just stand with me!" Mama ji said as he came from behind.

"Whatever I am not going to do anything such!"

"Okay forget about that diamond necklace that you asked me to get it for you!"

"Are you trying to bribe me?" Mami ji asked in disbelief. "If yes, then okay let's go!"

"Thank you babua!"

"Ma please relax you just sit down I will look after everything."

"Khushi bitita has done almost everything."

"Hmm, Ma we have gotten the best bahu for our Arnav bitwa. Right?"

Nani nodded.

"If Anjali bitiya was here today she would have been really happy!" Nani said sadly.

"Yes, don't worry Ma she will be fine!"

***

"Khushi!" Payal said.

"Bhabi! Please come in!"

"How are you feeling? I am sorry, I just didn't get to ask you!"

"It's okay bhabi. I know you were busy. And I am okay!"

"Good! Here you go your saree. Come, I help you! I know these dresses that we have to wear are too heavy!"

"How do you manage them, bhabi?"

 

"I have been wearing these for last 5 years, so eventually have gotten used to them!" Payal said laughing, as she passed her white coloured saree with red shades with broad borders, net saree and it's blouse had heavy latkans at the back.

"Okay I get your jewelry meanwhile, you wear your saree," Payal said as she went to retrieve her jewellery from her jewellery closet.

When she returned she looked at Khushi in awe.

"Khushi I am sure Arnav will fall in love with you again," Payal said when Khushi came from the washroom dressed up in her saree.

Khushi's calm mind subsided when Payal mentioned his name, but she hid it well and gave her a smile.

But it was true Khushi was looking extremely beautiful in the saree yet very vulnerable with almost backless blouse, a three inch zipper and a hook holding it together and her net saree revealing her petite body.

Payal made Khushi to sit on the stool in front of the dressing table. "You know what Khushi when you and Arnav got married we were in England and I truly felt bad that we couldn't able to attend it. After all it was the marriage of my brother-in-law. But I am happy that this party is held for you and we are part of it," Payal said as she put necklace around her neck.

"Why couldn't you able to come, Bhabi?" Khushi asked.

"Uh," Payal stuttered "because of our sister-in-law," she added. Before Khushi could ask Payal continued "you know Anjali, she is our sister-in-law, Arnav's sister."

Finally Khushi came to know who Anjali was. "But she still couldn't remember where she had heard this name before."

"What happened to her?" Khushi asked as Payal helped her to wear the heavy earrings.

"Khushi before you came into this house, lot of things happened. Anjali is in the hospital! She..."

Khushi turned around to face Payal. Her usual happy go smile had totally disappeared.

She got quite when beautician entered into the room. 

"Here you go, Pam has come. Hey girl what took you long?" Payal said hugging her.

"Hey, Payal I am so sorry there was a lot of traffic in the way!" 

"Oh, okay let me introduce you to Khushi. Khushi she is Pamela, she is a make artist and Pamela she is my Devrani!"

"Hi, Khushi! Payal actually we know each other. I was the one who did her make at her wedding day!"

"Hi!" Khushi said as she gave Pam a smile.

"That's awesome!" Payal replied.

Although Payal was trying her best to hide her grieve, Khushi had read the uneasiness on her face.

"Pam get her ready in five minutes, it's already too late."

"Okay!"

"Please bhabi don't go!" Khushi said to Payal when she was about to leave.

"Are you nervous?" Payal asked.

"I can understand, but don't be. And don't worry I come in 5 minutes, you wear your bangles, I have to see if Kids are ready!"

Payal exited the room and Khushi was left confused. "Lot of things had happened before me, in this house? And Anjaliji in the hospital? What has happened to her?" She was too lost in her thoughts she didn't realize that Pam had done her make up.

"Okay here Khushi you are ready! I should leave now but I think I shouldn't have come here at first place!"

"Why?" Khushi asked nervously.

"Well you look so beautiful without make up and I am sure Arnav sir must fall in love with you every time he looks at you. No jokes!"

Khushi resumed her smile despite of the anger that she held inside herself.

"Are you ready?" Payal said as she came back.

"Yes, all ready newly wed bride is all set to go!"

"Thank you Pam!"

"No worries!"

"But you can't go just like that you have to stay back here and enjoy the party."

"I would have love to my friend if I hadn't had to go to Paris. I have to get prepare for Arnav Sir's next modelling show."

"Oh, when is your flight?"

"Yeah, it's at 8:00PM and its already 7:00! See ya guys, enjoy the night!"

Pam said good bye to both the ladies and left.

And in the other moment Addy came crying.

"Mom Gavy bro has spilled chocolate milk on my suit," he babbled.

"Oh my baby, it's okay we got other set of clothes let's change. Khushi I am sorry I have to go!"

"It's alright!" Khushi assured.

"You sit here and we all are waiting for Arnav he hasn't come yet," Payal said in a hurry as Addy continued to drag her out of the room.

"Where is he?" Khushi thought. Party was going to start in another half an hour.

"Bhabi have you heard anything from Arnav Bhai?" Dhruv asked as he stood outside the door.

"No!" 

"What happen where is he?"

"I don't know bhabi he said he will be here in half an hour, but don't know. He didn't even tell where he has gone."

Doesn't matter how hard she tried to remain unaffected, but couldn't. She sure hated him for what he did, but there was a soft corner for her that resided in her, which no matter what she can't hide from herself. 

"Should I call him!" She asked herself. "But what would I say?"

She was going to call Arnav when someone shut the room behind and locked it.

"Who are you?" Khushi asked as her whole body started shaking in freight as old man moved towards her after locking the door.

"Look don't come close to me! I will kill you!" Khushi said as she grabbed a vase from the side.

"Khushi ssh it's me!"

A person removed his fake beard, eyebrows and moustache. And it was Rahul. 

"Rahul what are you doing here?" Khushi asked as she kept vase on the table and approached him in quick steps.

"Khushi, my life is in danger!"

"What?"

"Yeah, Khushi your husband wants to kill me. He has sent his bodyguards to kill me."

"That's why he isn't here" Khushi questioned.

"Yes, Khushi he is the one who is looking for me. Khushi he has found out that I have told you that he is the one who has killed your dad!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Khushi he will kill you too. Let's go. I am here to get you from here. I promise I will take you from here away from him. I will do everything to protect you, but please let's go from here. Khushi you don't know how much I love you!"

Khushi got startled as someone knocked on the door.

"Rahul go from here someone has come."

"No, Khushi this time I won't go without you. I love you Khushi!"

"Rahul okay go in the second basement I see you there!"

"Promise you will come there!"

Knock on the door got louder and louder.

"Yes! Now please go immediately, after I get out from from here. And I will see you in the basement."

Khushi collected herself and took a deep breath and opened the door.

"What the heck took for you to open the door?" Arnav growled as he angrily walked into the room.

"No-nothing," she stuttered. "I was getting ready," she nervously answered. 

Arnav immediately looked at her from toe to the head. Her beauty would kill him he thought to himself. It was something that every time he encountered her, he just couldn't breathe. He knew that the dresses that he design are the most beautiful, that increase the beauty of any lady who would wear it, but here it was opposite the sari that he had designed looked nothing in front of the beautiful lady that stood in front of him. His anger had evaporated in the air, his heart had already started beating in his chest furiously. 

It was the reason, that in the night sky, there was no moon today because it was right in front of him. 

Khushi looked downwards somewhere but him at the way he looked at her. 

But more than that she was scared what if he would get to know about Rahul is in his chamber, he would kill him. Arnav moved his gaze away when NK cleared his throat.

"I am sorry bhai you have whole life to leer at bhabi like that, but please go and get ready! Everyone is waiting for you," NK said mockingly and left as he was in a hurry. 

Khushi's cheeks immediately turned into a crimson red.

He was going to get his clothes from the closet. Khushi's heart beat increased in fear. But luckily Dhruv had put his clothes on the bed.

"Arnav ji your clothes!" Khushi said as she gave him his clothes without looking at him.

 

"Thank you!" Arnav said and left.

Khushi rushed to the walk in closet and see Rahul wasn't there.

"Where did he go?"

She then saw the door of the sun deck opened and knew that he must have gone through that door. She took a sigh of relief and put her hand on her heart to calm it. She closed the door behind and she didn't see Arnav standing behind her and bumped into his bare chest. Arnav held her before she could trip in her high heels and slowly made her stand properly.

"I am sorry!" She said and walked up to bed and sat there.

 

Khushi was so mad at him. He wanted to know his limits. 

"How dare he could even think of killing Rahul and for what reasons?She thought and clenched the bed sheet so tightly that she would have broke her nails.

She sat on the bed for complete 20 minutes. 

"Where were you?" She asked when Arnav finally came out of the washroom after getting ready.

"I had to go to an important meeting," he answered.

"A lier!" She wanted to scream at him but she controlled herself.

"Let's go everyone is waiting for us."

Khushi took her good five minutes thinking and didn't hear Arnav calling her name until Arnav actually took her in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

"Remember Raizada custom!?" he questioned and resumed his walk.

His Clive Christian perfume hit her nose and made her every sense alive as soon as he took her in his arms.

A spotlight shone on both of them the moment they appeared to the audience.

Everyone eyes had bored on both of them as they walked downstairs. But Khushi's eyes were unknowingly looking at her husband. His stubble hiding his fair skin under. His perfect strong jaws and his lips that looked only nice when arched into a smile. Just one smile from his side, any girl would fall in love with her. She knew that even though he was looking at the party crowd but his attention was pretty much at her when he instantly looked at her, into her eyes. 

A loud cheering, people gabble broke in the party hall. 

"Aww how romantic!?" NK said to Dhruv.

"That's true!" Dhruv answered.

 "I wonder when I would get my dream girl?" NK asked almost in a dreamy state.

"They look so beautiful together!" Payal said to Akaash and he nodded.

"Kisi ki nazar na lage!" Nani ji spoke.

"Ah, she doesn't look as beautiful as me!" Mami Ji spoke up.

Mama ji resisted the urge to laugh out loud at mami ji's statement.

Arnav finally made her stand on her two feet when he got downstairs and went straight to his brothers, leaving her alone standing there. But she was shortly accompanied by jaya auntie, Jayshree auntie who came towards her with Nani ji.

"Deviyani your daughter-in-law is really beautiful."

Khushi touched jaya and Jayshree auntie's feet.

"Thank you jaya! I hope you guys are happy now."

"Why shouldn't we be happy?" Jayshree auntie asked.

"Okay you enjoy the party I have to introduce Khushi to few other people!"

"Go ahead!"

***

"Oh ho somebody just can't take their eyes off from his beautiful wife!" NK said laughingly as he caught Arnav looking at Khushi lovingly.

"Hello, stop teasing Arnav bhai, no one has right to say such things to him, except me!"

Arnav glared at him angrily. And Dhruv gave Akaash a high five as three of them chuckled. 

"Ladies and gentleman may I have your attention please!" Mama ji said to the audience. A silence prevailed in the hall.

"I hope you all enjoy this party and having good times. Thank you for gathering here today and to be part of our happiness. Thank you to every single person present here who took out their precious time to come at the reception party of my son Arnav and daughter in law Khushi. My whole family is truly grateful. Thank you, thank you ones again!"

Again loud cheers broke in the party hall.

"Thanks dad!" NK said as mama Ji passed him the microphone.

"Hi, good evening everyone! Well I guess this party is little bit cold don't you think? There should be more fun added to it."

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

"What a perfect response! Okay, then let's the fun begin. So, the very first performance is of course by one of the most dashing, handsome, absolutely stunning..." 

NK was going to take his own name when Dhruv interrupted him.

"Well, yes, NK bhai is pretty right! Well we don't want to make you guys wait for the most awaited moment till the end. So not wasting anytime more I would love to call my bhaiya bhabi on the dance floor."

Arnav and Khushi looked at each other in shock when Dhruv asked both of them to come on the dance floor.

"What the?" Arnav snapped.

"Bhai go!" Akaash said. 

"But who told you to do all this!"

"Bhai it's your party!" Akaash answered.

"Yes, Nanav bhai common!"

"Bhabi how could I go!" Khushi said to Payal.

"Why not Khushi? Go you would be perfectly fine!"

Every other lights were turned off and two spotlights shone both of them (Arnav and Khushi). It was for sure unplanned, out of the blues situation for them.

"Common bhaiya bhabi!" NK said with a smile.

They both walked towards each other. For Arnav it was normal, but for Khushi, totally nerve wrecking as she felt hundreds of eyes at her.

***Music***

As they both got closer to each other, their minds went blank. Arnav first put his arm around Khushi's bare waist, a chill ran through her spine and butterfly fluttered in her stomach at his touch. It was vulnerable, protective touch. Without her consent she slide her one hand on Arnav's shoulder and other in his other free hand. 

It was hard to believe for a moment that they had any contempts against each other. Their body moved in a perfect sync, their minds concentrated just on each other.

 For a moment they had forgotten hundreds of people presence in the party, just lost into each other eyes, as they were devouring the moment. 

They shared the most weird relationship with each other. It was hard for them to live together, at the same live without each other.

***Music stopped***

They continued to look at each other eyes as they were looking for answers to their questions. They continued to sway at the beautiful rhythms of their heartbeats.

And then NK screamed in Arnav's ear when he didn't hear him for the first five times.

 "Bhai it's over!"

"Huh?"

"Your performance!" NK replied.

Both of them immediately parted away from each other.

"Bhai you may go to your rooms!" NK whispered in Arnav's ear.

"Shut up!" 

NK chuckled. 

Everyone laughed out.

"Wow it was an amazing couple performance! Now I would like to call all the beautiful couples up here! Everyone, common! The theme pretty much is we would be changing our partners!"

"Music please!" NK said to the DJ.

As all of them started dancing. Arnav was dancing with lavanya. And Khushi with Dhruv. But their eyes were glued at each other. 

"Missing bhai?" Dhruv asked.

"Huh? No!"

"Just kidding bhabi!"

"Oh!" Khushi smiled.

Dhruv swirled her around slowly and Khushi was now with NK. And Arnav still remained with lavanya. He wasn't looking at Khushi but at lavanya. There was knot of emotion  had formed in her heart which she couldn't able to distinguish whether it was of an anger or jealousy. Just to ignore that feeling she looked away somewhere else. And she was dread to see Rahul standing upstairs gesturing her to come to the basement.

She shook her head.

"Bhabi are you alright?" NK asked as he looked at her troubled state. 

"Huh! Yes, I am fine!" Khushi stuttered. 

When she saw again he was gone she looked around and he was nowhere to see. She took a sigh of relief. But to double check she looked around again and she saw another dark figure and it was familiar it wasn't Rahul, but somebody else. 

"Shoan! she remembered but what he was doing at the party wasn't he thrown out of the Job?" She thought.

Her nerves went cold when she realized that he was looking at her with an evil smile on his face.

She clenched her fingers onto NK's shoulder tightly.

"Bhabi what happened? Are you okay? You don't look fine!" NK asked with concern.

She wanted to go from there first but now she was just too scared to leave.

"Yeah!" Khushi said as she tried to conceal her frightened state.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah!" She assured. 

"You could tell me I can talk to Nanav bhai!"

"No, no. I am seriously fine."

"Okay!"

Then she saw Arnav looking at her. And soon after she moved forward with the other unknown man. Arnav excused himself from the girl with whom he was dancing and in few quick strides he approached the man with whom now Khushi was dancing to excuse her as well.

Arnav wrapped his arm around Khushi upper back.

"What are you doing?" She snapped angrily but at the same she was shocked by his sudden action.

"Shut up don't move and come with me to the room!"

"What the just let go off me!"

Arnav didn't listen to her protest and literally dragged her with him maintaining a smile until he was out of every person sight.

***In the room***

"Have you gone crazy why did you bring me here?" she said as she broke herself free from himself.

Then she suddenly went silent. Her blouse hook clicked open and the zipper too. She inhaled a quick sharp air inside her lungs in shock.

Arnav moved towards her.

"Let me quickly fasten the zip!"

And she backed up "No, I will do it myself," Khushi replied embarrassingly. Her heartbeat was out of her body control.

"Whatever!"

He turned around and went to the washroom. 

Khushi's back was scratched a bit due to the zipper and was bleeding. She faced the mirror as she tried to zip the blouse. She hasn't realized when Arnav had moved forward to help her. 

"Khushi it's bleeding. Let me help you!" He said as he pointed at her scratch. 

"Don't worry about it!" She simply answered. Arnav walked to leave from there.

Khushi continued to fasten her zipper but failed.

"Arnav ji!" She said before he could leave the room. He immediately stopped and looked at her. 

"Uh...Can. You. Help. Me?" She asked in utter embarrassment. Her cheeks were radiating heat as they were the heaters. 

Arnav was left shocked and he first got the bandage from the night table drawer and turned her around slowly. Her body went almost numb. She closed her eyes tightly shut when his cold hands touched her warm skin. 

"Is it hurting?" Words left his mouth.

Khushi nodded. He blew the air at the scratch. Her whole body tingled and shivered and her sense went blank but she was self conscious as she felt his eyes digging holes not only her back but her whole body. He gently applied the band aid.

"Do you want to change to something else, there are few other dresses too?" he asked.

"No, it's just fine!" she mumbled.

Arnav didn't say anything further and took her blouse in his hand and stretched to close the zipper. Her breathing got rapid and laboured. He moved the zipper up slowly at the awfully slow pace making sure he doesn't hurt her wound and then fasten the hooks that were on top of the zipper.

When he was done, he walked out of the room.

***

"Where are bhai and bhabi?" NK asked as he looked around and they both were nowhere to be seen.

"Oh here you go, there he is?" Dhruv replied when he saw Arnav coming downstairs.

"Where were you and where is Khushi bitiya?" Mama ji asked.

"Oh I was just."

"That's okay Nanav bhai you really don't have to answer this question. We understand!" NK said with humour yet in a serious tone. 

"It's nothing like that."

"Nothing like what bhai? Can you elaborate on that?"

"Shut up!"

NK chuckled.

"Okay enough of ragging common Arnav bitwa let's cut the cake! Where is Khushi Bitiya?"

"She is in the room!"

"Go bitwa go and call her!"

***

"Aditiya beta listen me, don't run you will fall!" Khushi said to Addy.

He didn't listen her and ran away with his friends.

"Devi Maiyan these kids!" Khushi shook her head laughing.

It was when Khushi's phone beeped. It was a text message from Rahul.

"Khushi where are you? I am waiting for you in the basement!"

"Rahul I can't come everyone is waiting for me!"

"Khushi what are you even upto? Why don't you understand you have to get out of here? Do you even want to go with me? That Arnav Singh Raizada is not a good person."

Khushi herself didn't know the answer to the questions he had asked. 

She was going to type something when she heard Arnav talking angrily to someone. She approached at the source of loud talk as it was hard to hear over the loud music.

"Find him, where ever he is. I don't care about anything," Arnav yelled at his bodyguard on the phone.

"I want him dead or alive!" was his final words.

Khushi got startled and anger took over her.

Arnav furiously threw his phone and turned around and was aghast to  see Khushi standing there. 

"Where were you?" he asked trying to ignore any questions that he knew Khushi would ask.

"Come everyone is waiting for you!"

Khushi remained standing where she was and didn't say a word for few minutes.

"Whom were you talking to on phone?" then she asked absentmindedly.

"That's none of your business,"

he replied.

"It is Mr. Raizada. Anything that relates to the people close to me, is my business."

"Oh, really that person is still close to your heart? Do you still care about your boyfriend?"

Khushi remained silent.

"Why are you quite, Mrs. Raizada? You are married, you don't care about that, but your ex fiance."

"Yes, I care about him because I am a human being not an animal like you," Khushi responded. "Today, you have to tell me why do you want to kill, Rahul? What he has done that you want him dead? Weren't you just happy just by killing my dad?" Khushi's said heatedly. What do you think of yourself? You are not God! You have conflicts with me, deal with me, why are you involving Rahul in this matter. Are you that possessive? Let me tell if anything happens to Rahul I will never forgive you."

That was it! It was Arnav Singh Raizada with whom Khushi had to face now no matter what!

"Yes, I want him dead do you get that?" Arnav shouted back."You know why? I want him dead because!" Arnav stopped.

"Why tell me, don't you dare to stop today? And you better have good  reasons!"

"I have better explanations for you to regret!" 

Every muscle in his body tightened. As adrenaline rushed in his veins.

 He marched towards her and took her hand in his.

"Where are taking me?" She asked.

Arnav didn't answer and took her in the room that she remembered he had asked her to not to go in.

He opened the lock of the door and threw her inside the dark room. She almost defend herself from hitting the bed. Arnav turned on the lights bringing the view of the room into picture and closed the door. Khushi looked at him. It was the anger that he never had seen before, it gave her a mental tug but she didn't allow herself to fell weak. She then looked around her surroundings. It was nicely set room but Mary had told her that neither comes in the room nor anybody cleans it.

But what Khushi saw, left her shocked. Her world turned upside down.

"He?" she asked shockingly. She couldn't able to breath due to the sick feeling that arose in her chest.

"Rahul?" She asked looking at the picture that hung on the wall. Even though she asked "Who is this girl with him?" but she wasn't ready to hear the truth that she knew, she would be told.

"Rahul Manohar Jha, the bloody husband of my sister Anjali Singh Raizada," Arnav replied.

Each and every word with such a harshness that it was a as sharp as a cutter.

And Khushi froze in her tracks. Arnav's revelation was a hard blow to her heart. The truth stroked her like a lightening, and it's roar deafened her. 

The burden of truth that Arnav carried in his heart for doesn't know how long was finally told. 

"You wanted to know why I hate that b**tard so listen MRS. KHUSHI...because he is the one who ruined my sisters life. I HATED YOU because you are that second woman because of whom that b**tard deceived my sister, You are the woman because of whom my sister is fighting with her life. Do you know why I married you for a child? Because you are the woman due to whom my sister lost her child. You are the one who ruined everything that I had!" Arnav said as he broke down. "You and that bloody Rahul took every happiness from me. Why do you expect that I would let both of you happy?"

"No. No. No!" Khushi screamed and shook her head in disbelief. No, you are a lier, it can't be true. No, Rahul can't do that!" She said more that to herself than to Arnav, as she was trying to convince herself, what she had heard is all false.

But the picture was right in front of her. The person standing in the picture was Rahul. 

"No, it's all a lie. Tell me it's a lie!" Khushi clenched her hair in her hands tightly. Now she knew that where she had heard Anjali's name before.

***FLASHBACK***

"Rahul, somebody called today on your phone. Sorry you left your phone at home so I picked it up," Khushi said as she sat in front of the T.V. 

"Who?"

"I don't know it was some lady. She wanted to talk to you. But I don't know what happened she cut the phone."

"Really?" 

"Yes, she was like I am Anjali!"

"What?" Rahul looked at her in shock and a carton of milk dropped from his hands on the floor. 

"Oh Gosh, what happen? Are you okay?" Khushi said as she got up from the sofa and went to Rahul.

"I am sorry. I mean nothing!" he stuttered. That phone was neither mine nor for me!"

"What?" 

"Yeah, it was Rahul Khanna my friend's phone. My phone is with me! Here!" Rahul said as he took his phone from his pocket. "Look what the coincidence is. His name is Rahul too and our phone also the same, iPhone 4S"

"Oh!"

"Yeah, gave me the phone I will return to him tomorrow."

***END OF FLASHBACK***

"How does it feel to know the reason why I hated you so much Mrs. Khushi Singh Raizada?" Arnav said and she looked at him instantly.

"No, it can't be true. You are lying!" Khushi was still unable to believe.

All of sudden every picture got clear, everything had started making sense.

***FLASHBACK***

@Janamashtmi 

"Rahul ji!" a woman screamed.

But Khushi couldn't able to see whom she was, due to the crowd. 

"Rahul I heard someone calling your name!"

"Oh, common Khushi your ear are ringing. What happen have you started loving me that you just hear my name every time?" he answered casually but there was a sudden change in his behaviour. He forced herself to leave from there.

"Let's go Khushi I have work!"

"But you said you were free today!"

"Khushi I just realized that I have important meeting with my client."

***END OF FLASHBACK***
