Part 2 Who is she?

Arnav felt bad hearing her tears-filled words. Did she eat nothing for three days? But why? How was it even possible to be alive without eating anything? How hard it would have been for her to be starving for three days? He walked to the kitchen stage. Taking a plate, he filled it with a few roties and sabji. He forwarded the plate to the girl. She looked at him surprisingly.

"Have it..."

Taking the plate, she sat on the floor and ate. She stopped eating and looked at Arnav, hearing his words.

"Wipe your tears"

She wiped her cheek with her knuckle and continued eating. Arnav put a glass of water, in front of her and waited without disturbing her. She stood, after finishing the plate. Washing the plate, she kept it on the kitchen stage.

"Who are you? What's your name? How did you come here?" Arnav questioned her.

"My name is KHUSHI. I came here by mistake while running from THEM"

"Them? Who?"

Khushi started crying badly.

"Why are you crying?"

"I don't want to marry HIM" she cried again.

Arnav somewhat understood, what was the problem.

"So, you came running from your family..."

"No... my father was the one who asked me to run away from this marriage"

"Whaaaat?"

She nodded yes.

"My had cancer. My father borrowed money from someone for her treatment. She passed away last year. My father could not return the money which he borrowed. The credit grew with interest. My father was even ready to give him our house but he didn't accept it"

"Why?"

"Instead of our house, he asked my hand for the marriage. He wanted to marry me"

Arnav raised his brows getting amazed.

"His horoscope has some major issues it seems. His family astrologer insisted him to marry a girl who was born in a Virgo, Chitra star with one special feature."

"Special feature?"

"Yes, the girl should be born in the middle of September."

"So?"

"I was born in the middle of September and my zodiac sign is Virgo, Chitra Star."

"Oh..."

"My father went to the same astrologer to write my horoscope. As my horoscope is having the same features the man searching for, he asked my hand for the marriage" she said crying.

Arnav was looking at her miserably.

"I don't want to marry him... I don't want to be a second wife..."

"Whaaaat? Second wife?"

She nodded yes.

"He is older than my father"

"Whaaaaat?"

"That's why my Babuji sent me away from them before marriage. They locked me in a room and didn't even feed me because I'm not interested in the marriage."

Arnav felt bad for her.

"Where is your house?"

"Surya Nagar"

"Ok, I will take you there tomorrow"

She nodded ok.

"Sleep for a while. You look tired"
