Khushi collapsed on the floor the moment Arnav left the room, Breaking into fits of tears

She had finally lost all hope, All strength to fight. She had never expected a mother's love and warmth from Garima Gupta, She was used to their ways... Their tortures... That was why she avoided visiting Lucknow if she could help it.

After getting her call letter from Harvard... She had built for herself a world of her own, And she was quite content in that world. She never visited her family more than once an year, That too just too meet her Bauji. She had sought permission of her father to settle in London, Start Dream Designs. Her dream project. She was doing well wasn't she?

At that point of time, No one could imagine that Khushi's life would take such a drastic turn that it will overturn her life.

But she had trusted Arnav to hold her together if she shattered, Had he not promised that He will always be there for KhushI No Matter What? Had he not promised to love her till the end of time? Then what had changed now? Why did Khushi's Arnav turn into the Mighty ASR. And how did Arnav's Shona turn into Khushi Gupta?

Arnav had never ever misbehaved with her, He had never Manhandled her. His words used to make her blush, They used make her feel shy, They used to make her feel loved. But today, His words had made her feel scared, They had terrified her.Arnav's words had always conveyed his love for her, They had always conveyed how much he cared and loved his shona. But today... His words had conveyed his Anger, His hatred.

A fresh wave of tears flowed down her cheeks as she remembered the first time Arnav's chocolate eyes had locked into Her hazel ones. She was so nervous, It being her first ever Fashion Show. And in her nervousness, She had tripped and fell off the stage. She had shut her eyes ever so tightly, Expecting to fall headfirst on the floor, But that had not happened... Instead, She had landed in Arnav's Arms. Both Arnav and Khushi had been more than startled, Her heart had started beating wildly

Dhak Dhak

Dhak Dhak

That moment seemed to last forever. Arshi were lost in each-other

Then, After what seemed like eternity, Khushi and Arnav had recovered from their trance

Arnav had awkwardly put her down.

Khushi was so overcome with self conscious, That for the longest moment, She had not dared to look up at Her savior

"Ah... I am Arnav, Arnav Singh Raizada" Arnav introduced himself and held his hand out for a shake

"Khushi, Khushi Gupta. I'm studying Fashion Designing" Khushi said and shook his hand gently

"Oh, So these are your designs?" Arnav asked gesturing to the stage, Where the models were showcasing the designs

Khushi nodded a little, Nervously

Arnav couldn't help but feel a little proud of those designs, Khushi had seen a little pride in his eyes, And it was no doubtedly for her.

She wondered what had changed now, That she was being forced to marry the love of her life, Forcefully!!
