Hi Everyone,


The Two Unique Tales of Deserted Love with their Excerpts.

1. Deserted Love - Season 1







Everyone closed their eyes and the Havan started.. Aashi's photo was at the Center and Arnav didn't get the courage of see a Aashi's photo almost covered by a flower garland. That would only make him feel more upset.. He just kept his eyes closed, remembering the moments he spent with his love..

Arnav: (To himself): I Love you Aashi.. My Heart Stopped beating since the time you left and now its dead forever.. I know I promised you something.. But I don't think I can ever fulfill it.. Forgive me Aashi.. Forgive me..

The moment he said that he could feel his heartbeats and he didnt know what was happening.. After a year, for the first time he was hearing and feeling his own heart beating once again.. Why?? Why now?? He didnt had the courage to open his eyes and see Aashi's photo and ask her what does this mean.. But finally when he couldnt remain anymore quiet like that, he did open his eyes only to find her in a White Dress , pressing her eyes to shut, controlling her feelings, standing before him for the Havan ..

Arnav: (To himself) : Aashi??

He instantly got up from his Place and moved to her .. He always hallucinated Aashi everywhere.. And today was no different he thought.. He wanted to touch her.. To take her in his arms and cry his heart out.. The moment he reached before her and wished to caress her cheeks with his fingers he heard Garima Gupta calling .. "KHUSHI"..

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Him.. Arnav Singh Raizada was standing before her.. Before she could react, he himself moved a step back in shock.. He wasnt hallucinating.. She was real. This face was real.. She and Aashi had no difference at all. Same face, same expressions, everything just matched 100%..But the only obstacle that he had to reach her was HER NAME... Which was KHUSHI.. She wasnt his Aashi.. She wasnt her..

She was the same girl whom his Aashi asked him to marry.. He fisted his fingers and then turned back to leave.. The moment he did.. Everyone were surprised.. Not that she was here.. They were aware she was coming.. But today, she looked so much Like Aashi that for seconds they did feel their Aashi is back..


2. Deserted Love - Season 2






Temple


"Aaj woh Jiji ko dekhne aaye hai Devi Maiyaa, woh aur unke saare gharwale. Issi liye toh hum aaye hai aapke paas. Yeh Maangne ki aap kisi bhi tarah yeh rishta pakka kar dijiye. Humaari Jiji Raizada Khaandan Ki Bahu bane aur Arnav Singh Raizada ki Patni. " (Today he has come to see Jiji with his whole family. That is the reason I have come here. To pray that he fixes this marriage with her. Let my Jiji be the Raizada Bahu and Arnav Singh Raizada's wife)

She folded her palms and continued praying this in the Temple until she heard the Car Horn from the Driver. She opened her one eye and then turned around to see the Driver showing her his watch meaning, they were getting late. She had to quicken these Prayers. She bent down on her knees and then bowed her head before the Devi Maiyaa Idol. After taking a circle around the Temple, she rushed outside and the Driver opened the Car Door for her and she got inside.

"Chaliye Mohan Bhaiyaa." (Lets go Mohan)

She reached the Sheesh Mahal and rushed inside to meet the family. There she saw her Jiji Jeevika and Arnav Singh Raizada coming outside from a room to join the family again. Probably they were made to talk alone for some time. Before she could even enter, he heard his reply to his family who was waiting curiously to know if he is ready for marrying Jeevika or not.

Arnav: Main Shaadi ke liye taiyaar hoon Di, par Jeevika se nahi, uski chotti behan Khushi se. ( I am ready to get married Di. But not to Jeevika but to her younger sister Khushi.)

The family got up bewildered while Khushi dropped the Puja Thali on the floor in shock. There his attention diverted towards her . Confusion, anxiety, panic everything surrounded her as she met his eyes which were stuck to hers showing how affirmative he is in this decision.

Jeevika was shocked too hearing this. She was constantly looking at Arnav's face on why he took such a decision but looked like he was busy in understanding the expressions on Khushi's face. Daadi was angry and so were his other family members.

Daadi: Chotte? Yeh kya mazaak kar rahe ho? (Chotte? What is all this?) Arnav (Seeing Khushi who was fiddling with the end of her Saree pallu): I have told my decision Daadi. I leave it to Khushi now.

That was enough for Khushi to get off that place and run straight to her room. Jeevika called her and asked her to stop but she was not interested in staying here any longer.

Jeevika: I.. I will handle her
