Arshi One Shots✓

Promise fulfilled

Hi people....  I know, I said it's my exam time... But I got time... As I had a good exam and Mumma allowed me to use the phone for a while... So I came up with this one

Whoever of you have read my fanfiction "Broken Promises "will be able to understand this OS

It's a kind of alternative plot

So the story is same upto The first two chapters of that fanfic

Arnav was just sitting in an isolated room of Shantivan. His mind wandered back and forth between the scene he had witnessed on the terrace and the helpless tears and pain that he had witnessed in the eyes of his love... His life!! His Khushi

"Chod dijiye Anjaliji ko" He heard

"We love each other Saalesahab..." Shyam had said when he had confronted him

Wait! Did he really hear it right?? WE??

As in His Khushi?? And Shyam??

His Khushi??

Khushi, The Khushi who had loved him unconditionally... Without any questions... Stood by him throughout... Fought his fears with him, Loved him.. Like no one has ever loved him... He'd always told her that she was an angel who was sent to him by his mumma.

Could he really believe Shyam... That Khushi... His Khushi Loved Shyam, And not him??

"Chod Dijiye Anjaliji ko" The terrace scene flashed right across his mind

He closed his eyes, A few tears fell from his eyes as he felt his heart breaking into a million pieces just at remembering that dreadful moment "Khushi... " Arnav whispered painfully

"KHUSHI!!! WHERE ARE YOU??" Arnav heard a yell from downstairs. No it wasn't a horrified Call, They just needed her downstairs for something... After all it was Payal's wedding... Khushi was her sister and she needed to be there. But it stirred something in Arnav

Was she not downstairs?? Had he not told her to go??

He remembered with a jolt the condition she was in when he left her in the room. Fear gripped him. What if he'd read it wrong?? What if whatever he saw was just presented in the wrong light?? And yet again... He felt terrified

What if she... No, She's not that weak

"You're my strength Arnav... I can fight anything as long as you are there with me" He heard her voice.

But!! Was he there???

No!!! A big No!!!

Arnav ran towards his room, Where he suspected or knew Khushi must be in... In what condition?? He was yet to find out

He dashed insidethe room sweaty and scared. He found her in fits of tears, Shaking hard, One of her hands tightened dangerously around something.

Her father's Locket!!! Which she had given to him... It must have unhooked and fell on the ground

Arnav crouched beside her nervously

"Sh-Shona" He called uncertainly

Khushi looked at him with fear and terror filled eyes, Arnav's heart broke even more if possible. The terror which should've soothed his ego was now breaking his heart, As he realized that maybe... He took it all the wrong way

"Ar...nav" Khushi whispered breaking down into his arms

"Don't leave Arnav... Please don't leave... I need you... Please, I don't know what you're angry at... I don't know what I've done to anger you... But please Arnav, We can sort that out later... Just don't please don't leave me... I'm scared Arnav... I can't fight him alone please I need you" Khushi pleaded momentarily forgetting that the reason she was crying her eyes out was Arnav... Her Arnav!!

Arnav soothed her the best he could by rubbing soothing circles on her back and palms. His heart bled seeing her like that... Only if he wasn't a jerk

"Kya hua hai Khushi?? (What has happened Khushi??)" Arnav asked softly

"Sh...shyam Arnav... Shyam wants to Kill Anjali Di... He is... Lusting on me Arnav... Please Arnav... Please trust me... He tried to force himself on me... He's threatening me Arnav... With your life and Anjali Di's... He wants you and Di out of his way to have... me All by... All by himself... I can't, Bear all this Arnav... Please" Khushi cried into his chest

Arnav was shocked... But relieved as well that he had heard the voice of his heart at the right time and avoided taking a rash decision... Or he would've ended up hurting his life to an extent he knew not of

"I don't want to lose my only family after Bhai Arnav... I don't want to lose you... Please Arnav" Khushi cried more

"Shona... Chup baby... Calm down, Stop crying... Jaan I'm there, Shhh... Everything is fine" Arnav consoled a shaking Khushi wrapping his arms around her slender form

"Arnav... He's evil" Khushi said

"You trust me Shona?" Arnav asked

Arnav felt her nod in his chest

"Toh Bus! I'll never let anyone harm you or Di" Arnav said

"Marry me... " She breathed

"Wh-at??"

"Marry me Arnav... Make me yours in front of the whole family, In front of HIM. I want him to know that I belong to you... Just you. I want to get rid of his nagging... His advances... Please. I want to hold your hands whenever I like..  Please Arnav... I need just- This Assurance that you're there... That I can come up to you whenever I feel like Please Arnav... I want the family to know-Please" Khushi said choking

"But... Khushi" Arnav whispered unsure

That seemed to snap her out to the reality... She remembered the words that he had hurled upon her

And his DEAL

Of the contract marriage

She broke the hug abruptly

"I'm... I'm sorry. You don't want to marry me Right?? No you do... But Just- Just for S..six months! I'm not... Not your Sh..shona... Just Khushi Gupta... R..Right? I'm sorry... I won't f..force you... I don't want to be a baggage to... You" Khushi said crying badly

Arnav looked into her eyes, And found deep pain... Inflicted by him!! Dripping from her eyes.

"Khushi... You're not a baggage, Shona I'm sorry... I don't know what came over me... I am sorry for hurting you jaan please forgive me Please baby... I didn't mean to say any of that jaan" Arnav tried explaining

Khushi looked at him with hope, One look at him and she knew that every thing that he said just now was the truth, "I am scared Arnav... His moves... His advances... They're getting on me... I can't fight him" Khushi said

"I'm there for you Shona... Always! I promise" Arnav said

"Go... Get ready, You need to look like The Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada nee Diwan... we're going to get married..." He added

So... Another Shot???
