Arshi OS: Sanam Teri Kasam

Sanam Teri Kasam

SLAP!!!!

The sound echoed across the four walls of the Raizada Mansion.

Arnav Singh Raizada stood in the middle of the room, his face down and his left hand rested on his left cheek where he just got slapped.

Everyone gasped in shock seeing the ASR get slapped.
They looked at the figure who dared to slap him. 

Anjali Singh Raizada.

Arnav{perplexed}:"Di...?"

Anjali{furiously}:"Mat bulaao Humme "Di"!!"
(Don't call me "Di")

All looked confused at Anjali. Why did she slap her chhote? Why was she so angry? 
These questions were running through each and every person's  mind.

Arnav{softly}:" Di..? What did I do? Why are you so angry?"

Anjali:" Khushiji kahan hai?  Aur Sheetal kahan hai?!"
( "Where's Khushiji? And where's Sheetal?!")
She asked angrily ignoring his question.

Arnav{confused}:"Sheetal has gone out with Aarav to get his school stationary and Khushi...? I don't know... Maybe in our room?"

SLAP!! Another slap echoed through the mansion.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Anjali{Sarcastically whilst clapping}:" Wow! As expected!!! THE GREAT ASR KNOWS THE WHEREABOUTS ABOUT HIS EX GIRLFRIEND AND YET HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHERE HIS OWN LEGALLY AND RITUALLY WEDDED WIFE IS!! GOOD GOING MR RAIZADA!"

Anjali's powerful voice rang into everyone's head. She was right.
Where was Khushi?

ARNAV:"Di...? Aap aise kyun Bol rahi hain? Sheetal aur Khushi ka muqabla kyun kar rahi hai? Khushi upar room main ho gi. Itna pareshaan kyun ho rahi hain?"
("Di..?!Why are you talking like this? Why are you comparing sheetal and Khushi? Khushi might be upstairs In her room. Why are you getting so tensed?")

Anjali:"Tumse yahi umeed thi Arnav. Tum bilkul apne papa ke upar Gaye ho! Tumhe ahsaas bhi nahin hai ke khushiji ghar pe nahin hai. Sheetal ka aata paata hai lekin khushiji? You don't even know where she is! Apni Ex girlfriend main itna kho gaye the ke Tumhe yeh bhi nahin yaad raha ke tumhari  Abhi kuchi hafte pehli shaadi hoyi hai?! Kyun Arnav?! You promised me that you'll always stand by khushiji, that you'll always support her. Then why?!! When she needed you why weren't you there?!!"
("That's what I expected you to say Arnav. Your exactly like your father. You don't even know that khushiji isn't here. You don't even know where she's gone!! Were you so lost in your ex girlfriend that you forgot that you got married only a few weeks back? WHY Arnav?!!You promised me that you'll always stand by khushiji, that you'll always support her. Then why?!! When she needed you why weren't you there?!!")

Arnav stood still. It was the first time that Anjali called him by his actual name and not by "chhote". But that didn't bother him.
He was compared with his father. That didn't bother him. What bothered him now was that Khushi wasn't at home.

Something's wrong. Why else would Di cry like that?

"Khushi's in pain" His heart cried.

Anjali was crying with agony.
Everyone's eyes were moist.

Nani:"Anjali bitiya, Khushi bitiya kahan hai?"
(Anjali dear where's Khushi dear?")

Anjali { croaking}:" Hospital main Nani. NK bhai ke saath"
("in the hospital Nani. With NK bro. ")

Shock.
Arnav stumbled backwards.
His Khushi was in hospital.
Arnav felt the same fear in his heart that he felt 15 years ago. The same fear when he lost his maa.

Payal{screaming}:" Di!! Kya hua Khushi ko? Ho... Hospital?! Why is she in the hospital? "
She asked going hysterical with fear and tension.

Anjali{brokenly}:" shes dying. She has final stage lukemia. She wanted to tell Arnav but he was so ignorant towards her that she never told him. You know nani Khushi thought that Aarav and Arnav shared some sort of relation so that's why she took a DNA test to see if her doubt was true. But then again that hurt the great ASR's ego so he stopped talking with her and started to spend more time with Aarav and Sheetal. Nani it just wasn't him. It was us as well. We kept comparing Aarav and Arnav that the poor soul felt so insecure. I feel like a fool Nani. I couldn't understand Khushi's pain. But you MR ASR broke her trust. She was sorry and still is. She loves you to bits that's why she didn't want me to tell you but after finding out your actions towards her I couldn't stop myself. Mind you Mr ASR if anything happens to my Bhabhi I will never forgive you in my life!!"

Saying that she ran towards the door with Payal rushing towards the hospital with Akash and Nani behind.
All left leaving  Arnav standing in the hall by himself.
Anjali's words vibrating in his mind.

She's dying....
She has final stage lukemia. 
She's dying...
She's dying....
She's dying.....

"NO!! MY KHUSHI WONT LEAVE ME!!SHE PROMISED ME!"
He screamed as he rushed out of the door to go to the hospital.......

**********************************************************

Barely avoiding 5 accidents and breaking all of the light signals Arnav rushed inside only to see part of his family outside of Khushi's ward.
He rushed towards her room by was stopped by a stone cold voice.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE NOW? After all she's gone through! Aren't you satisfied?"
His Di asked. Her voice cold as ice.

Arnav{shattered}:" please Di. Let me see my wife. Let me apologise. She can't leave me like maa. Please di!!"
He begged tears rushing down his face.

She didn't reply, she turned her back towards him and motioned him to go.

As he entered her cubicle he saw a sight which he never wished to see.
The love of his life lying on an uncomfortable hospital bed, wires attached to her body, her arms bruised with the injections she had consistently been getting. 

Betahasha dil ne

tujhko hi chaaha hai

har duaa mein maine

tujhko hi maanga hai

without any limits,

the heart has loved you only

I have wished for you alone

in every prayer of mine.

He walked closer to her and sat beside her. Tears continued to make their way go down his face

"I'm so damn sorry Khushi. I'm so sorry! I wish I listened to you. I'm so sorry. Please Khushi give me a last chance! I'll give you everything that you want! Please! Just don't go!" He cried.

Khushi raised her hand and reassuringly moved it slowly through his hair. 

tera jaana jaise koi baddua

tera jaana jaise koi baddua

door jaaoge jo tum

mar jaayenge hum

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam..

your going is like some curse,

if you go far,

I'll die..

I swear on you, my beloved..

"I'll die Khushi! I'll die without you" He cried harder.
Yes he had been unfair with her.
Yes he took advantage of her.
But he never wanted her to leave. And that to a place where no one comes back from

tumhe dekhte hi aankhen ho jaatin nam

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam..

when I see you, my eyes get wet..

I swear on you, my beloved..

"Shh Arnavji. It's ok.Stop crying Arnavji." She lightly consoled him.
Her throat was sore but she still managed to speak.

"What was this girl made out of? Even after everything she wants me to be happy?" Arnav thought in dispear.

"YOU DON'T DESERVE AN ANGEL LIKE HER!!" His heart mocked.

"I don't deserve you.." Arnav whispered brokenly.

"Shhhhh... I'm sorry for doubting you Arnavji. Please forgive me so I can die in peace."

"NO!! YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE SORRY FOR. IT WAS MY FAULT! I WISH I WASN'T A JERK! I WISH I UNDERSTOOD YOUR INSECURITIES! IM SORRY KHUSHI!!!" Arnav wailed tears falling uncontrollably down his cheeks.

huaa ye kya hashar mera

judaa huaa sabar mera

main tere bin ek lamha 

kyun kabhi naa jiya

what condition I have reached

that my patience has left me,

I have never lived for even a moment 

away from you..

"My times up Arnavji. I'll be leaving soon. And it's ok Arnavji. Maybe.... Maybe we weren't meant to be. I love you Arnavji... To the square of infinity...." He voice was cracking. Arnav bent his head down to her neck and rested there.

"No. Please no..." The Rasping voice said.

raat bhar ashkon ne tujhko pukaara hai
har dua main maine tujhko hi maanga hai

all night, my tears have called for you only,
in every prayer I have asked for you only..

The door of her room flew open and their families rushed into see Khushi. Arnav didn't move an inch he just laid there along with Khushi.

Everyone's face held guilt, regrets and sadness. Tears in each and every eye.

There was a certain figure by the door which didn't enter.

Little Aarav.
His eyes and nose crimson from crying.

"Aarav! Come inside beta" Khushi called. She held out her hand for him but what Aarav did made every person gasp in the room.

tera jaana jaise koi baddua

door jaaoge jo tum

mar jaayenge hum

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam..

tumhe dekhte hi aankhen ho jaati nam

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam..

Aarav ran to Khushi's feet and rested his head and hands on them.

Khushi{Gasping in surprise}:"Aarav! Kya kar rahe ho aap? Utheye! Chaleye utheye!"
("Aarav! What are you doing? Get up! Come on get up!")
She wriggled but Aarav kept his grip firm.

"Mujhe maaf kardo. Maaf kardo. Main aap ke saath bhot bura behaviour rakha  tha. Main uss Sheetal Aunty ke bataaon main aa Gaya tha. Unho ne mujh se jhoot bola. I'm not her son. She adopted me from the orphanage claiming to be my mother. She provoked me against you. She fed me lies against you. Then today I found out her truth. I also know that you legally adopted me. Forgive me.... Please...maa...? Don't leave me. I'll be a good boy. I won't misbehave. I promise! Maa! You made me your son and a child always needs his mother. Please maa...."
Aarav broke down into harsh fits of tears. Khushi lightly pulled Aarav upwards to her chest.
Her one arm was around Arnav and now the other one was round little Aarav.....

nasha tera dil ko lagaa

dena nahi mujhko dagaa

main teri aadat ka maara

hai kya meri khataa

my heart is addicted to your intoxication,

don't betray me now,

I am now so addicted to you,

what's my mistake here..

"Shhh beta. Your a brave boy aren't you? You have to take care of your dad after I go. I'm sorry beta but this is the one wish I can not fulfil. My time has come. But before I go can I ask for a promise?"
Aarav just nodded, still crying.

Khushi:" Make sure you and your father take your medication on time. This is now YOUR responsibility as MY son. Ok? Take care of your father and yourself. Be each others backbone! And beta call me "maa" again.... Please..."

"Maat jaao maa! Maa!"

tere bin naamumkin

apna guzaara hai

har duaa mein maine

tujhko hi maanga hai

without you it's not possible 

for me to live..

in every prayer, 

I have wished for you only.

Khushi held both her husband and son close to her and turned to her family.
Khushi:"Di.... Thank you Di. I have one request for you Di. If true love does come in your life again don't waste it. Grab it. You deserve it di. Naniji, mamiji, Amma, babuji, Buaji thank you. I'll miss you all. I have one request to make before I leave. I don't want me body to be burnt. I want to buried in Mamaa's garden. Please?"

Anjali turned her back towards her and placed her hand over her moth to suppress her wails.

Khushi:" Jiji, jiju live a happy life and have lots of kids of your own!! And nanheji remember me at your wedding!!"

Payal leaned into Akash for his support. Crying bitterly. Akash felt his own tears falling down . His bhabhi cum saali was on the deathbed and there was nothing he could do.

NK himself had gone weak with grief. His best friend was leaving him. And he couldn't help her in anyway.

"I'm sorry" everyone thought...

tera jaana jaise koi baddua

door jaaoge jo tum

mar jaayenge hum

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam..

"Jaa rahi ho..? Mat jaao..." A scarce whisper breathed on her neck.

"It's too late now Arnavji. It's time..."

Kissing both Arnav and Aaravs heads she held them close.

"I love you Aarav"
"I love you Arnavji"
"I love you maa"
"I love you Khushi"

Holding them tight the three of them hugged.

tumhe dekhte hi aakhen ho jaati nam

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam o..

sanam teri kasam..

Her hands slowly left the grips on their hands.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEEEEEEP.
The heart monitor shut off

SHE WAS GONE.

The room erupted with loud cries of pain and horror as they saw their angel dead.

Arnav and Aarav were unmovable. Shock hit them. 

She was actually gone...

Background: An Arshi Os based on trust, assurance and pure love.
Based on the Sheetal Track.

Perfect Just The Way You Are!

"I'm sorry Khushi. Aarav is my son. Mine and Sheetal's son. I'm sorry to say but You are just an embarrassment for me. You're  so low class, and you've got absolutely no fashion taste. That's why I decided that Sheetal and I should get married because Aarav has the full right to live with both of his parents. Please sign these divorce papers and free me from this relationship!" Arnav requested, ignoring the look of shock, betrayal and hurt that was clearly reflecting on Khushi's face. Besides Arnav, stood a smirking Sheetal, casually leaning against Him and in between them Aarav stood, his face expressionless. 

His previous harsh words began to rush around her again. 

"You're just a gold digger!" 
"Damned characterless girl!"
"You would do anything for money!"
"Low status woman!"
"Because I HATE YOU!" 

"Arnavji! H... How can you even demand a d...di...divorce from me? We've spent so much time together. Has that not meant anything for you?" Khushi found her voice. Her voice cracked as her throat constricted with emotion and her eyes began to drop those wretched tears of acid.

"Sorry to say Khushi, that was just mere attraction from me. My true love is Sheetal. Please sign these papers."
His voice was completely firm and held no regret on letting her go.

"Sign the papers Khushi!" Arnav demand once more.
All her hopes died out as she saw him proposing Sheetal in front of her.
Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada had now lost against her husbands Ex-girlfriend...

****************************************************************

"NAHIIIIINNN!!!! ARNAVJI PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! YOU'RE ALL THAT I HAVE!! PLEASE!"

Khushi woke up with a jolt. She looked around to look at her surroundings. Thick beads of sweat fell from her forehead down to her face and neck. Her eyes red with the tears she had unknowingly wept in her sleep and she was breathing hard, in order to catch her breath. 

"Khushi? Khushi?!" Arnav's worried voice echoed around her, but Khushi stayed lost, unable to understand what was happening around in her surroundings.

Arnav gently placed is hand on her shivering shoulder. Khushi jerked in response, causing Arnav to be flabbergasted. He immediately took his hand off and stared at his scared shivering wife.

Khushi huddled herself to the corner of the bed as if she was trying to save herself from him. 

Did she just jerk away from me? Arnav mutely asked himself.

"You're just a gold digger!" 
"Damned characterless girl!"
"You would do anything for money!"
"Low status woman!"
"Because I HATE YOU!" 

All of Arnav's hideous words echoed around the four walls of Their bedroom again. 
As Arnav touched her shoulder Khushi jerked back in order to save herself from another abuse from Arnav.

"S...stay away! D...Don't  c...come cl...closer!"  Khushi screamed as Arnav came closer to support her.

"Khushi! Khushi relax sweetheart! It's me, Arnav! Your Arnavji! Calm down dear!" Arnav comforted but Khushi was no where near stopping. She whimpered as Arnav pulled her close to him.

"Shhh. Calm down. I'm here now. Shhhhh." He  consoled, hugging her  close like a baby.

"Baby, it's just me. Your Arnavji. Why are you scared of me?"

"Leave me! You're going to hurt me again! You hate me! You're gonna marry that Sh-" she was cut off as Arnav silenced her with a drugging kiss. Arnav couldn't understand what Khushi was on about but he was sure that she had a nightmare on  him either hurting or abusing her.

His kiss wasn't of passion or anger. His kiss was just a simple gesture in telling her that he's there no matter what.
Khushi finally came to her senses and kissed him back in her own unique way making Arnav give out a slight smile. 

Pulling out of the kiss, Arnav kissed the top of Khushi's forehead,he cradled her in his arms and asked her to tell him what was wrong.

"I'm sorry. I'm just missing  my parents. I'm sorry." Her lie was caught instantly by Arnav who chose to ignore it and rested the matter there itself.

"Sleep baby girl." He said as he caressed her hair, making her fall in a deep sleep.

Arnav stared at the calm sleeping face of his wife and wondered what had gotten into her some time ago.

He recalled how her behaviour had changed in the past week, ever since Sheetal and Aarav arrived.
He noticed how she had distanced herself from their family, who were quite busy with the hospitality of the new guests which were now staying over. Arnav  also noticed how disturbed Khushi had been since she had found out that Sheetal and him were dating during collage.
Right then the bulb to his brain lit and he finally found the answers to all his unvoiced questions. 

"She's insecure! She thinks that I'll leave her!" He exclaimed to himself.

Arnav felt a tad bit disheartened.
Couldn't she confide with me? Does she not trust me? Is she doubting me? He asked himself as he cuddled his wife in her sleep.

Maybe she was scared. Maybe she didn't want to anger you. Maybe she wanted you to tell her that she mattered. His heart replied in response to his silent questions.

"I need to make you confide with me Khushi. I need to make sure that you know that I'll always be there. Don't worry khushi. I'm never leaving you and that I'll prove tomorrow!" He mumbled to Khushi's tired body in the dimly lit room. Smirking at his plan, Arnav kissed the top of her head again before allowing fatigue to take over him...  

~~Next morning~~

When Arnav had woken up the next morning, he had found the right side of his bed empty and ready made.
He smiled as he shook his head knowing that his little wife would be downstairs making breakfast for him and his family.

After getting ready, Arnav made his way downstairs to find nearly everyone sitting at the dining table. He sat down in his chair and wished everyone a good morning to which he got a happy reply back from everyone.

Just as Khushi was about to come next to Arnav to it down, Sheetal came and sat on her seat, instantly angering Arnav.

"Sheetal, that's Khushi's seat. Move from there." He stated not so nicely.

"It's just a seat Arnav. Chill." Sheetal casually replied, making Arnav even more furious.

"It's not just a seat. It's the seat that holds ASR'S wife's status. Move from there now!"

Muttering a "sorry", Sheetal moved to the opposite side of the table, sulking.
No one in the Raizada family chose to retaliate against Arnav as they very well knew that he was absolutely right. In fact, they were proud of Arnav for standing up for his wife.

Arnav lightly pulled  a paralysed  Khushi down, breaking her out of the shock she had just received.
He began to fill her plate with the various dishes and started to feed her.

The whole table hooted as they saw Arnav openly romance with Khushi, who was blushing harshly. Arnav couldn't help but smirk at the sight of her being so effected by him.

Anjali:"Khushiji! Ab asoolan aap ko bhi Chhote ko khillana chahiye, hain na Nani?"
{"Khushiji! As per rule, you should also feed Chhote, isn't that right Nani?"}
Anjali teased as Nani joined in.

Khushi then began to feed Arnav, due to the silent pleading of Arnav and the constant teasing from Anjali.

As she fed him, Arnav slyly licked and bit her fingers making her go red; but to add to that, every time she looked at him in a please-stop way, he'd just wink in response causing her to huff in annoyance. 

Finally after a long  breakfast, Khushi began to help Payal clear up whilst Arnav went and sat in the lounge to wait for her.

Arnav:"Khushi! Hurry up! We need to leave soon!" He called out.

"Kahan jaa rahe hain hum Arnavji?"
{"Where are we going Arnavji?"}  Khushi asked confused. Arnav hadn't mentioned that they had to go anywhere so the sudden plan surely made Khushi confused.

Arnav:"Just get ready Sweetest. I've informed Nani and Di, so don't worry. We need to leave in five minutes. Oh, and pack a pair of night wears for yourself and I."

Confused at the sudden damand, Khushi just nodded and left to get ready, not understanding what was going on in Arnav's ASR mind. 

**************************************************

"Arnavji! Where are we going? Why have you tied a cloth to my eyes? Tell me na! Arnavji!" Khushi wailed in absolute annoyance as Arnav drove to the destination, which was till Unknown to her.

"Khushi, just  zip it. Or else I swear that I will kiss you right here!" Arnav warned and it worked. Khushi huffed and puffed but didn't allow a single syllable to rise from her throat.

Screeching into a stop, Arnav gently led an angry Khushi out of the car and guided her to a bench. He took off he blindfold and Khushi looked at her surroundings in pure delight.

"Mumma's garden!" She breathed in sheer happiness as she saw Arnav sit beside her, taking her hands in his.

"Confide with me Khushi. I'm all yours. I brought you here today as I know something has been bothering you. You're not that same Khushi that I had married. You don't confide with me, you don't fight with me. You don't act like who you are! What's wrong? Tell me baby girl! It's killing me! It's hurting me! The fact I can't help my lady love is slowly killing me with utter guilt. Tell me sweetheart! I promise to stand by you! To stay together!
Trust me! I love you!"

By the time Arnav finished what he was saying, Khushi's eyes were already wet it's the shedding tears.

"I can't handle it anymore Arnavji! I can't! I've bore everything that's happened in life with a happy smile but now I have no strength!
It hurts Arnavji! It hurts to see when you give Sheetal and Aarav more importance, even though it's unknowingly. It hurts to see a complete person of flesh and bone who acts like a Xerox copy of you. It hurts to see Sheetal lovingly staring at you! I'm sorry Arnavji but like a typical wife, I'm very insecure. I can't handle the fact that you'll leave me. Arnavji, you're the one person I can call as mine. I love you!" Her voice held deep emotion, as tears flew out of her eyes. Arnav's condition was no less. His eyes turned moist seeing how much of a burden his baby wife was carrying.

He led her inside the farmhouse and gave her a glass of water, calming her down.

"Arnavji, I know I'm not modern. I know I can barely speak any English. I know I'm not up to your social standards. I have no financial status and I am a complete embarrassment for you but I have one request. Please don't leave me! I swear if you do, that day I'll di-"
Khushi couldn't complete her word as Arnav had brutally slammed his lips on hers, pushing her against the wall of the kitchen.
The kiss was a punishing one. Arnav was punishing Khushi for saying such things about herself. He was punishing her for not confining with him. But most of all, he was punishing her for talking about death.
Arnav bit and sucked ruthlessly, whist Khushi moaned and whimpered  in response.

Finally the two broke  off due to the lack of air.

"Don't you dare say that again Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada!" Arnav growled.

"What does Sheetal have that I don't?" Khushi asked defeated. She had no stamina left to face the world on her own.

Yes, she was insecure.
Yes, she needed support.

Sighing, Arnav led her onto the couch, and kneeled down before her.

"Can I tell you something? Khushi you are everything that Sheetal is not.
Your smart, selfless,giving, sweet, sexy and innocent! Sheetal is nothing compared to you! I'm sorry if you felt like I was giving Sheetal and Aarav more importance, but I seriously didn't intend that. Khushi, you are my everything! I love you! As for Aarav and my similarities, your doubt will be cleared soon.
Khushi, You're  beautiful! You are perfect just the way you are! Your laugh? I find it so damn sexy! You don't know what goes through in my mind when I hear it! Your eyes? I could literally stare at them throughout eternity. And your lips? I'd literally kiss them all day if you'd let me! You are so beautiful Khushi! I love you for you! You are not an embarrassment for me! Actually, people get jealous of me for having such a pretty wife!
Khushi just remember: YOU'RE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! Don't ever change! I love you Mrs ASR!"  Arnav declared, pecking Khushi's lips a couple of times. 

Overwhelmed, Khushi pulled Arnav in a tight hug, continuously muttering "Thank You" on his neck. 

Hugging her back Arnav smiled, thanking his lucky stars that his Khushi had finally let her heart out to him.

Arnav:"Now let me show you how much I love you, eh?" He asked a giggling Khushi who understood the hidden meaning of his words.
Picking her up bridal style, Arnav carried a blushing Khushi to their farmhouse bedroom, to prove his love for her.

Finally Khushi's insecurities were put to rest and Arnav was glad that he had helped her like a good husband.
Up above three stars twinkled , blessing their madly in love children....
