OS - NOW OR NEVER
“You are the biggest mistake of my life Khushi” Shouted Arnav releasing his frustration on her.
Khushi looked shocked at him.. the last string of her life had been broken mercilessly by her love. The reason of her existence exist no more…
“You have caused enough trouble Khushi… Because of you, My fashion show was ruined, Because of you, My Photo shoot was ruined, because of you, My peace was ruined, Because of you, My Sister’s Life was ruined, Because of you, Your own sister’s life was ruined, Because of you, My Life was ruined… Only Because of you, its all happening. Everything was only because of you.. I curse the day I met you. Your parents would be ashamed of yourself if they were a” but was stopped when he felt a hard slap on his cheeks. He looked at Khushi with eyes widened…
“Enough is Enough Mr.Arnav Singh Raizada” Khushi shouted at top of her voice waking up the entire RM…
Arnav realised the mistake he committed a minute ago. He looked at Khushi who has no love for him in her eyes.. He was taken back by the hardness it was showing. He had never seen her like this in all his life.
“Kh.. Khushi”
Khushi looked at him with a cold glare making him shut his mouth.
“NOW OR NEVER” saying Khushi went out, followed by Arnav…
In the middle of the living room, Akash, Mami, Nani were sitting with sad face because of today’s happenings. They saw Khushi getting down the stairs with Arnav walking behind her…
Khushi was everyone looking at her, everyone flinched seeing her eyes…
“ANJALI………. ANJALIIIIIIIIII.. ANJALIIIIII.. Come out” shouted KHUSHI…
Hearing her shout everyone looked at her in shock state. They had never seen her calling Anjali without no respect.
“Pha…” Mami started but stopped getting a glare from Khushi…
Anjali came out of her room, with her crying face…
“Welcome Mrs.Anjali Jha” said Khushi in her sarcastic tone.
Anjali looked at her as if she doesn’t know anything…
“Enough of Acting Mrs.Jha… Yeah Let me tell you, you are good at acting… Shall I recommend your name for next Oscar award?” asked Khushi…
“KHUSHIIIIIIIII” The lion roared..
“Stop Roaring Mr.Raizada… You are not a Lion, hearing your roar I will keep my mouth shut up.... You are no one to me, to Shout at me” Shouted back Khushi..
“Don’t forget Khushi, you are my wife” replied back Arnav in equal tone..
“Im no more your wife……....” Saying Khushi broke her mangalsutra, making the beads fell on the floor. Everyone were shocked at her audacity.
“KHUSHI/ KHUSHI BETIYA/ KHUSHIJI/ PHATTI SAREE” Everyone shouted…
The only person who didnt react was Arnav. He was standing like statue without any movement. His life was sucked out of his body. His world were spinning around him.
“Now, Im not your wife Mr.Raizada.. I think this gives me the chance to speak” saying Khushi turned and looked at Anjali who was also looking at her…
“Yeah coming to our discussion… Finished enjoying with your husband” asked Khushi dropping the second shock on the Raizada’s
Arnav’s eyes turned towards his sister, it shows betrayal..
“Khu.. Khushjii”
“What Mrs.Jha?.. You thought None will come to know about this.. Right?... You are fooling yourself Mrs.Jha.. come out of that.. The person whom you are trusting more than yourself, never worth for your trust… but I admire you, because even after all this, your love for your husband remains the same, you trust your husband more than anyone.. great.. **clapping** At least one of the Raizada knows What it means by Trusting **Eyeing Arnav** What a drama you did?... Great… I just wanna tell you one thing.. Come out of your illusion.. This world is more cruel than what you were thinking off.. No one can be trusted in this world.” saying Khushi moved towards Mami…
“Mami… One thing I should say.. You are true to yourself… You never put an act of loving me when You actually hate me.. You did What your heart said… Wish I could be like you in this” said Khushi, piercing the Heart of Mami.. Mami could feel the pain of the girl standing before her..
Arnav closed his eyes, all the incidents when he faked his love for her flashed before him…
Khushi moved towards Nani, she folded her hands before her..
“Nani.. You trusted me with everything, then why didn’t you trust me with your grandchildren.. Where did that trust went when I stood before you after marrying your grandson?, Where did that trust went when I stood in the same place being accused of spoiling your granddaughter’s life?... Answer me this Naniji.. Oops sorry.. Answer me this, Madamji” said Khushi looking at Devyani for Answers.
“Khushi betiya?” Nani said, her voice was clear with her answer, that was she doesnt know.
“Leave that Madamji”
“Call me Nani, betiya”
“You are no one to me Madamji..”
Khushi moved towards Akash… She passed him a smile, a sad smile…
“Speak for yourself Akashji… Or else you will lose your life… Yeah.. also think before you speak.. because spilled words can never be taken back”
Akash looked at her and nodded, understanding what she was trying to say…
She looked at Payal for a minute, and then turned..
“Khushi” Payal called her.
“Yes Mrs.Raizada”
“Call me Jiji, Khushi” Payal pleaded at her…
“Im not your sister Mrs.Raizada.... I’m an orphan.. Thanks for taking me in and giving me shelter.. Take care of yourself and everyone” Khushi said and left her side…
Finally the face off between Khushi and Arnav Singh Raizada..
Khushi gave a mock smile…
“Biggest mistake of your life… Isn’t it?... Sorry for ruining your Fashion show. Sorry for ruining your photo shoot. Sorry for ruining your peace. Sorry for ruining your sister’s life. Sorry for ruining your sister in law’s life. Sorry for ruining your’s life.. yeah at last, Sorry for breaking your relationship with lavanyaji and sorry for spoiling your name” saying Khushi took his hand and placed the broken mangalsutra in his palm.
Arnav couldn’t believe what he was hearing from her mouth… He wanted to voice out, but seems like his word was died in his throat. He saw her moving toward the table, removing the jewels she was wearing.
He called her by her name, but his voice didnt help him much, it went with a slight whisper. But he thought his Khushi would have felt him, but no, she never reacted. he wanted to call her again…. He was about to open his mouth when he heard..
“KHUSHJI”
Everyone’s head turned towards the entrance to see NK standing there with confusion…
“Nanheji?” said Khushi with small hint of happiness in her voice..
This gave an unsettled feelings for Arnav..
NK showed a pouch which he was holding in his hand. Everyone looked at it curiosuly..
“I got it Khushiji… We can prove the truth to everyone” said NK…
“It is not needed Nanheji”
“Why?”
“Because, the reason for this evidences exist no more.. If wanted you can give this to Mr.Raizada”
NK looked confused…
“But Khushiji… Everyone thinks…”
“Please leave that Nanheji” saying Khushi moved towards him and gave a sisterly hug to him…
“Thanks… Thanks for being a true friend” Khushi said, a lone drop of tear fell from her eyes..
All the while, the girl who stood with strong face started crying in his arms, as if she got the needed solace… NK enveloped her in hug trying to console her.. He looked at everyone’s face and understood something went wrong…
He saw the broken mangalsutra in Arnav’s hand and understood that he was not worth of his friend’s love.
Arnav wanted to take her in his arms and hold her securely.. but couldnt.. He has no guts to do it.. Each and Every member of the Raizada’s were crying for the poor soul.. They were guilt for their action.
After a minute, Khushi got out of the hug and wiped her eyes....
She passed small smile to NK saying she was completly fine…
She once again looked at everyone and started walking out of the house..
NK looked at his friend with pride.
“Khushi..” said Arnav..
She was walking away..
“Khushi..” said Arnav keeping a step before..
She was walking away for good…
“Khushi…”
She was walking away from all the pain…
“Khushii”
She was walking away taking all their happiness..
“Khushiii”
She was walking away in search of her happiness…
“KHushiii”
She was walking away leaving her love behind…
“Khushiii”
She was walking away in search of her destination….
“KHUSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII” Arnav shouted in agony… He fell on the floor crying her name…
Khushi, the girl who kept others happiness in the top of her priority list, for the first time kept herself in that place and moved out, for the betterment of her life…
THE END
I know many would have cursed me, even bashed me mentally.. But this was what I had in my mind. I placed myself in Khushi's position and wrote it... Sorry if I did disappointed anyone of you.. Im extremly sorry....
You don't have to say sorry and no, you didn't disappointe us, what you wrote is great and completely normal, and I'm sure that many women, if not all, would've acted in the same way that khushi did in your story when they are in a similar situation, I loved your take on the story, you did well
ReplyDeleteAwesome. If I am The Khushi, I will be doing same as this. Well written.

ReplyDeleteYou did not disappoint. Alas, in many a story I wanted to see a retaliatory Khushi. You provided that. Sometimes I find Arnav to be such a coward.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Enough is enough and she has done with them. Good one.
ReplyDeleteCheers....
Love your story. No one will be mad at you for writing the story in this way. In fact this should have happened in the show. Where Khushi stands up for herself and thought about herself for once.
