Part 4
"Nani I am thinking to send the proposal to the Kapoor family for Arnav". Anjali said while having breakfast with the Raizada family.
"To whom you are indicating? I am unable to recall such family." Devyani said trying hard to remember but her old age is not helping much.
"If I am not wrong then Anjali want Sheetal Kapoor as the elder daughter in law of the family". Manorama interpreted.
"Did you forget he got married a week ago? Confusingly Manohar spoke in between the conversation.
"Come on dad it is a contract marriage, not a real one". Payal answered on behalf of the family.
"Exactly dad. Let him enjoy with her for a year then automatically their contract will be nullified". Smirkingly Akash said.
Manohar shakes his head in disappointment not getting why his family is hell bend to destroy a girl's life.
"Nani shall I proceeded". Anjali again asked.
"Why not if you think she is suitable to be daughter in law of the Raizada family." Nani approved without care of her grandson's wish.
"Let's meet them this weekend. An official meeting has already been scheduled for Saturday ". Akash informed the family.
"That's a good idea. I will call Arnav in the noon he needs to come back from Uk before Saturday as well". Anjali said.
"Bhai is already in India".
"Akash you must be a mistake as if he is here then why didn't come home!!"
"Anjali di I am sure he is here only I heard Aman talking to him yesternight".
"Aman.... Sometimes I think he is the only family Arnav have and we don't matter to him". Frustrated Anjali spoke.
"And Aman knows his importance in bhai's life boosting his ego to the next level." Payal split venom.
"Don't worry once Arnav marries Sheetal she will kick him out". Anjali assures the rest.
"I will prepare the requirements for the proposal". Said Payal leaving the dining hall while others also left after completing their meal.

The right hand of the Arnav Singh Raizada or more like a brother and one and only best friend of him. Aman Mathur is the verbal diary of THE MAFIA KING. He was there in each step of Arnav Singh Raizada's life he has witnessed his downfall of how the innocent charming happy go lucky guy transformed into an unidentified beast although a small part of the goodness still exists in him which only come out in the fort of Aman.
His loneliness is something reeled by haunted memories in account to come out he chooses to bed different model Aman did try to stop but all went in vain.
Aman Mathur has only one aim to live that is to guard his boss cum soul brother and now the biggest danger luring is the girl he marries off for a million-dollar deal.
Aman Mathur is moving to and fro restlessly as for the past five days he is unable to find Khushi Gupta. It's like she has vanished from the surface of the earth.
No legal document of her has been detected except Adharcard but it's of no use as it contains the address of Gupta Mansion. He tries every way to find anything and everything about her only to reach a dead end. It's the first time he is facing failure in his work which is not getting well with him he will surely make the world upside down to find her information.
Right now the main point is to dig her whereabouts as he visited Gupta Mansion to check her presence over there but she was not there in fact not a single family member asked regarding her welfare all they discuss is the profit coming from the deal between Raizada and Gupta's. Even he check and recheck the CCTV of the building and the nearby places to see at what time she left the penthouse just to be empty-handed yet again.
The whole situation is making him frustrate urging him to pull his hair.
"Wait..wait... I have searched all the possible places but left the penthouse. What if she has never left the apartment!! Is it possible for a person to survive without food for a week because as far as if my estimate her being in the penthouse itself is right then she must be a hunger for around six to seven days now? Ugg..hhh... I should do them to clear my doubts".
Immediately he marches towards the penthouse.

The smell of delicious food drag Arnav to the kitchen where his unwanted bride was busy cooking lunch.
Khushi engorging deeply into her work fail to notice the presence of the other person in the kitchen. She was roasting paratha stuffed with vegetables and cheese in it giving a mouth-watering smell.
"You don't need to cook I prefer to have food from outside only". He said rudely barely controlling himself to taste the food made by his wife.
In response, she nods her head in an okay sigh.
To not show his real emotion he left to get ready for the day while with a sad smile Khushi clean up the mess created during cooking and pack the half uncooked food into different containers.
Soon Arnav leaves for office without giving a second glance to the girl who is now his responsibility.
On the other hand, Khushi's mind was weaving a lot of thoughts most of them are negative only a handful were good. From the time she has started to feel or sense what love and care are all she gets was hate don't know why everyone hates her. In her heart there is still a few memories of her lovely father who use to give her piggy ride while her mom run behind her to have at least a bite or two of nutrient when she doesn't want to eat in order to play more cause as per her tiny mind eating is a waste of time and playing is more fun but now she is logging for a single time meal. No one cares whether she is alright or caught fear due to her sensitive immune response towards changing weather.
If crying over such things will help her then it is a big NO she has figured out long back that she has to fight alone in account to survive but when her supposed husband wipes her tears in a small corner of her heart a hope lit up to end her mercy and to have a normal life like any other girl but guess what her mind was right and its proved in the morning when she denies having her cooked food.
