●Khushi's P.O.V.●"Khushi?""Khushi, get up. It's late." Mother's words roused me from sleep."Good morning, Ma," I said as I wiped my eyes and rose from my bed."Morning," Mom said with a sour expression."What's wrong?" I yawned and stretched my back."You ask me, what's wrong?" Ma yelled. "Darsh woke up at 6 a.m. He is such a polite young man.He got up and went for a morning stroll with your father. Long ago, while you were still asleep, they both had breakfast. Do you also sleep this way at home, huh?""Aaaiii!" Her incisive yell made me grab my ears. "Ma, calm down a little bit. My ears are hurting from your shriek.""You shameless brat! Your entire body will hurt if you don't get up and shower right now!" She ordered and then stormed out of the room.I shook my head and murmured, "I didn't know you still got scolded by your parents even after getting married," as I gazed around the room.However, I soon realised I was on my bed when I should have been sleeping on the floor.Why

●Khushi's P.O.V.●We headed to the Lake Gardens after finishing our lunch. It seemed to be the best plan for the next destination.After staying under the direct sun, my body felt so much more refreshed under the blanket of leaves over our heads as we walked by the lake, looking for an empty seat to rest."There's one." I felt Darsh's hand take hold of mine when he pointed to an empty bench. Before someone else claimed it, he dragged me to the seat. I felt like I was out with a kid who just got a break from his busy school.As we took our seats, he mumbled, "It's beautiful.""I know right," I replied, admiring the lake and its other fringe, covered with trees. Most of them were flamboyant trees. The orange hue blended well with the green, giving spectators a pleasant glimpse. Some people were practising rowing in the lake."What's that?" Darsh gained my attention as he pointed at a Kulfi seller. It was a type of frozen dessert made of milk, sugar, and different types of nuts."You don'

●Khushi's P.O.V.●After Darsh left, it was almost 3–4 days, and he never called or texted me. Even if I tried calling him, Darsh ignored my calls and never called me back.At that point, I was certain Darsh was avoiding me on purpose. Hence, I stopped calling him because I felt annoyed. I asked him to go back, mostly because I didn't want him to abandon his responsibilities because of me, but he was acting absurd at that point.After a few more days, Mandira's wedding day finally arrived. We were having fun at her house during a Sangeet party, singing and dancing with our family and friends.Suddenly, Mandira's expression darkened as she received a call. She sprang to her feet and dashed to her room. I decided to follow her since I had a bad feeling.As I entered Mandira's bedroom, I saw her sobbing while hunching over on her knees. I hurried inside as soon as I could."What's wrong?""He called again," Mandira said."Your ex?"She nodded while pressing her lips against each other."W

●Khushi's P.O.V.●My eyes started to tear up. I glanced up at Darsh and asked, "Do you trust me? I just want to hear yes or no."Our marriage depended on his response.A few silent seconds passed as I kept staring at the calm stature of my husband, who was peering at the hooded man. Consequently, I noticed his blank expression turning into something. It was wrath. He was incredibly quiet, despite having almost red eyes from anger. He had been observing everything up until that point and hadn't even asked a single question to the man or me.But eventually, he turned to look at me, and his eyes sealed with mine.Darsh exhaled a prolonged, deep breath before uttering, "How can I not believe you, idiot?" Causing my eyes to expand in bewilderment. His response stunned everyone else in the room.His fingers traced my damp skin as he placed a palm on my cheek. A faint wave graced his lips as he said, "Even if the entire world turns against you, I'll still stand by your side."His response o

●Khushi's P.O.V.●Many more bodyguards were waiting for Darsh and me as we exited the Delhi airport to protect us from the paparazzi. Though it wasn't something new, it felt like it had happened to me earlier too, which I couldn't remember.Uncle Hemant greeted us as we approached Darsh's car. "Welcome, My Lady.""I missed you, Uncle Hemant. How are you?""Like always, I'm doing great." He said and bent to open the door for me, but before that, Darsh did. Uncle Hemant seemed like he had witnessed a ghost.I sat inside the car, and Darsh followed me while Uncle Hemant took the seat behind the wheel."Master Darsh seems to have changed." He coughed, earning Darsh's glare from the back seat.After seeing his expression, Uncle Hemant simply grinned before igniting the engine and directing the vehicle in the direction of the Sinha mansion."By the way, how was the wedding, My Lady?" He asked from behind the wheel."It was good, I guess." I replied nonchalantly."Too good." With a smirk, Da
