IAL Chapter 19: Shyam

Chapter 19: Shyam

 

Arnav stared at her blankly for a while before confusion clouded his features. “What the- This is utter bakwas Khushi!”

 

But Khushi wasn’t shaken by the outburst. “Do you remember how we met?”

 

“Yes, but how does that-”

 

“Do you remember how you sent out that video of me falling off the ramp and into your arms?”

 

“Yes, but-”

 

“That brought my family so much shame. But you high class people wouldn’t understand that. Because of that video, my family and I were assaulted outside because a couple of goons thought I was a cheap girl. They wanted a piece of me, if you know what I mean. So because of your big ego; my sister’s wedding was cancelled, my family was put to shame and I nearly got raped.”

 

Arnav’s face consisted of disbelief and a dropped jaw. “Khushi, I-”

 

“Let me finish. I said I nearly got raped. Shyamji came and saved me. He beat up the men who had hit my Babuji and tried to rape me. He was a perfect gentleman, which is more than I can say for you. If Shyamji hadn’t come when he did, I don’t know what might’ve happened.”

 

“But how did he come to live in your house?”

 

“Well, because of you we left Lucknow and moved to Delhi. I accidentally met him again and he offered me a job at the AR factory. We became friends and my family began to trust him. We offered him a place to stay because he said he didn’t have anywhere else to go as he said he didn’t have any family. He then asked Buaji for my hand in marriage.”

 

“He did what!”

Yes I am aware of my evil nature but I just restarted college and teachers just love dishing out work for us to do. Between college and babysitting, updating long stuff is very hard and reserved for the weekends. By the way, this story should finish in approximately 3 weeks, just a heads up.
