"The important now was to gain our power, money and status back Meera and not Arnav.." said Karan sighing hard.
"Exactly.. I told her before, if we get our property back, then we could have done something to separate Arnav from his wife, and then you would get him easily.." said Shashi staring at her in disbelief.
"But no, now he knows you still love him, and he won't let you near him.. And because of that, we won't get our property back also.." said Shashi.
He screamed on top of his voice, "Why?.. Why is this happening with me?.. Why did I lost everything?.. Why did I ever listen to your words Meera?.. Everything was going good, it wouldn't be Arnav who would buy my property, but I would snatch AR from them using Sharanya.. I don't know why Ichanged my plan, and went on to hear your words, Sharanya died, we became poor you didn't marry Arnav.. And he's on top now, he become powerful now and I'm nothing in front of him today.."
"Our bad times started!" said Garima crying on a corner, "I can't live this life anymore!"
Shashi looked at her with a tensed face.
Flashback..
"So tell us Pandit ji, will my Princess bring luck in my life?" asked a happy Shashi, holding the small baby in his arms.
"Nahin.. She will bring bad luck to your life Shashi.." said the Pandit with serious face.
Shashi and Garima looked at him shocked.
"What are you saying Pandit? Are you sure?" asked Shashi stammering.
"Your bad times started Shashi.. This girl came in this world only to destroy you!.. You will see.. One day she will expose all your evil deeds to everyone.. You will be destroyed if you keep her near you Shashi.. You will be destroyed!" warned the Pandit.
Shashi gulped in fear, then looked at the baby staring into his eyes, that made him more scared. He left the baby girl, in Garima's arms.
"I don't want HER.." he said looking away. Garima looked at him shocked.
"Karan and Meera are enough for us.." said Shashi, "Just take her away from here.. Take her away!"
Garima nodded and for two years she kept Khushi, the baby girl in her mother's house. Shashi wasn't satisfied knowing Khushi was still near them, he asked Garima to take her away from their families also. That's when Garima pleaded Dadu to take Khushi with him.
Flashback ends..
"You think.. that girl is near us?" asked Shashi shocked.
Garima nodded her head, "It's possible.."
"It's not possible.." Shashi nodded sideways.
Meera and Karan looked at them confused.
********************************
Raizada mansion..
Arnav hugged Khushi from behind, nuzzling her hair. Khushi leaned on his chest, "I never thought we would be like this today.."
"Means?" he asked caressing her waist softly.
"Means when I married you it was purely for Aashi and not because I had feelings for you.. I wanted to distance from you, and I always thought I would only be Aashi's mother and will not keep any relation with you.. I was scared you would want a real marriage relationship from me, but then you also didn't like me.." she said.
"Yeah.. I have to admit it, you were irritating and you wouldn't just keep quiet, always talking
nonsense.." he said chuckling, while Khushi pouted.
"I didn't even want to see your face in a day neither hear your voice.." he said.
Khushi turned to him, she started beating him on his chest with her hands.
Arnav held her hands stopping her, he pecked her lips, "That was before falling in love with you Jaan!"
Khushi looked down shyly, she hugged him tightly hiding her face on his chest.
"Now I love to hear your nonsense.." he said, kissing her hair. Khushi giggled.
She looked up to him, while he stroke her hair.
"Now everything changed.. Not only Aashi, now I live for you and our family.. Now I can't imagine
living my life without staring at your face in the morning, without talking with you, without you
pampering me.. Without you calling me your baby wife, without our cute fights, only those cute.. I don't like that big wala fights!.. (embarrassed).. and I don't like when you stay near women!" she cutely confessed.
Arnav smiled faintly, he kissed her forehead, "Okay.. we'll have those cute fights only.."
"What about those models who keep clinging to you?" she asked.
"Hmmm.." he acted like thinking, Khushi glared at him.
"I will stay away from them.." he replied making her lips turn into smile.
"But you know you don't need to be jealous of them.. You know that Khushi.." he said rolling his eyes.
Khushi pecked his cheek, making him stop talking. Arnav looked at her with a surprise look.
He kissed her cheek also, making her blush.
She kissed his nose, and Arnav did the same enjoying this game now!
He started walking forward, making her go backwards.
Khushi placed a soft kiss on his lips, and Arnav caught her by her waist, kissing her deeply on her lips.
He broke the kiss, staring at a red like tomato Khushi. She was looking so beautiful in red sari, and even more now that she was blushing.
"You're giving a tough competition to the moon Khushi!" he said and winked.
He lifted her making her gasp smiling.
As they reached inside the room, he made her lay on the bed, and looked at her intensely.
Khushi's heartbeat increased, she gulped and looked away not able to bear his intense gaze.
Arnav came on top of her, he gently nuzzled her face. Khushi looked away closing her eyes tightly, she clutched the back of his shirt.
He planted soft kisses all over her face, then moved to her neck. Khushi was shivering, she turned to the other side.
Arnav smirked, seeing his effect on his baby wife!
"Can I?" he asked huskily, Khushi blushed lowering her eyes. He knows she gave him the permission to go ahead, to mark her as His, only His..
He untied her sari's dori, Khushi hide her face on the pillow beside her.
Arnav smiled as he stood up and walked to close the door, then switched off the lights knowing very well how she is!
And that was the most beautiful night of their lives!
