ARNAV'S ROOM

Arnav - I so wanted to give back this chain but I just couldn't take it off...though those memories were fake for you it was real for me and this had very important memories of my life...why Khushi why you cheated me again...

NEXT MORNING - KHUSHI'S ROOM

Doctor was called again as Khushi got fever due to drenching and the trauma she was going through. Doctor checked her

Doctor - Don't go to college for 2-3 days. You need rest and be warm don't let the temperature shoot up.

Khushi - Ok doctor (Doctor goes and Shashi follows him)

Garima - You rest... I told you to be careful and get rid of all this sports stuff but you never listen...

Khushi - Maa..

Garima - Ok ok...you sleep now...(Garima goes)

Khushi - I think I should call him... how many days will I be like this waiting and waiting

ARNAV'S ROOM

Arnav got up and saw it was late as he slept late due to his old memories haunting him...his phone starts ringing and he picks it lazily.

Arnav - Hello

Khushi - Arnav...

Arnav - You??? How dare you call me..

Khushi - Arnav please listen to once...I never intended (Arnav cuts her)

Arnav - Look...I am not interested in your intentions..

Khushi - If you hated me so much, then why did you save me...

Arnav - Dont assume Khushi... I never knew it was you...if at all I knew it before I wouldnt have...I think thats the biggest mistake I did ever

Khushi - Dont lie Arnav...you still wear the chain I gave you and you say this...dont think I am fool...we can sort out...

Arnav - There is nothing to sort...and regarding chain...I am just wearing because its a gud luck asset...since you have told it off now I will return it to you...I dont need it...(He cuts the call) why are you making it difficult for me Khushi...dont hurt me more...(throws his phone on bed)

KHUSHI'S ROOM

Khushi - Arnav listen... (She also cuts and keeps the call aside. After a while Manoj comes to see her)

Manoj - How are you Khushi

Khushi - Better now...

Manoj - You had to be careful dear...

Khushi - I dont know what happened Sir...

Manoj - Ok ...dont stress yourself...thanks got Arnav came in time or else...

Khushi - Sir...he dint save me...he saved Khukhi whom he knew...if he had known it was me he would have never saved me...

Manoj - What non sense...he is not inhuman to let a person die...you are just thinking too much about him (Khushi's tears dwell up)

Khushi - Manoj Sir...you are not understanding...he thinks its a mistake saving me...(She runs to bathroom)

Manoj - Where are going Khushi...

She closes the door by then. He starts banging the door...Inside Khushi fills the bathtub and trying drowning her head herself...Manoj hear the water bubbling sound) What the hell are you doing Khushi...he starts banging the door with shoulder and in a hurry she hadnt closed the door lock properly. By Now even Arnav came there and sensed something wrong looking at Manoj banging the door. He also helps him and door is opened. But he stands out. Manoj sees her drowning her head...immediately pulls her off. Slaps her hard...

Manoj - What is this?? I have told you many times Khushi and this is not good for you...its your life and you cant take nasty decision for one person...(gives a stare to arnav) come...(he slowly helps Khushi come out and makes her sit on the bed) relax...

Khushi - Sir...I am feeling very dizzy...ahhh(she holds her head)

Manoj - Then what if you such non-sense act what else will happen...Just sleep for a while...you already had (Khushi starts passing off...) Khushi...Khushi...look at me...(She faints...and Arnav was silently watching all this, now he comes and keeps the chain on the side table)

Arnav - Give it to her when she wakes up..(This rages Manoj so he drags Arnav out of the room)

Manoj - Just get out of my site Arnie...(Roars in anger. Arnav walks off) Garima...ji...Shashank...(He calls out her parents for help)

ON THE ROAD

Arnav is crazily riding his bike remembering the scene in Khushi's room. He goes and hits a divider getting his left arm injured. People surround him and help him to reach hospital.

HOSPITAL WARD

Arnav's Parents have come in and Arnav is already treated. He is resting his back and sitting on the bed.

Radha - I have told you 100 times to be careful...see now.

Arnav - Maa

Mohan - This time I am with her...what is this Chotte?? (Turns to Docter) Nothing serious right doctor...

Doctor - Nothing major..but its still a harline fracture...so its better if he takes off from professional tennis for 6 months...otherwise its going to be very tuf and the injury might turn worst...

Arnav - Thats fine doctor I can

Radha - Just Shut up will you?

Mohan - I am saying that you will not play for an year...

Arnav - Papa... I am all fine..

Doctor - Arnav I suggest you to not take this risk otherwise it would affect you long term

Arnav - Sure doctor (Doctor leaves) all this is because of you Khushi...I wont spare you...(Murmers to himself)

KHUSHI'S ROOM

Khushi has gained back conscious. Her parents are worried for her. Manoj is not here as he went to see Arnav.

Shashi - What is this Khushi...?? how could you try something like this?

Khushi - Sorry Papa...but ...he told that he saved me by mistake...

Garima - Whatever it is ... I am seeing you since you met him in school ...you act all mad for him...look he returned the chain..he is stone hearted Khushi...he cant see what you feel for him

Khushi - Maa he is my best friend...

Shashi - Its too much now beta... you cant get hurt like this everytime...I have supported you till now...I know he helped you with so many things in those 3 years . For that you spoil you life right. I even tried getting you both married.

Khushi - What??? Papa...why did you do this...he would be more angry for that...

Garima - Forget all that now...sleep...do not do anything like this now on...(She make Khushi sleep...switch off the light and walks off the room with Shashi)

ARNAV'S PARENT'S ROOM

Manoj has told about Khushi being hurt by Arnav and Radha is angry as she never knew about why Khushi suddenly stopped coming to their home after his 10th std party. They both are sitting on bed discussing

Radha - You know she was such a nice girl even after being such a rich man's daughter. So much humble at that small age and this devil has hurt her...what if something would have happened...

Mohan - I never knew these both were friends...remember I told you Arnav reject my friend's daughter's proposal of marriage...it was the same girl.

Radha - You menat Shashi Gupta ji's daughter?

Mohan - Yeah... even you were not very much interested

Radha - Yeah...because from childhood I had liked that girl for my Chotte...I know it sounds stupid to think about marriage when they were kids, but I felt they both gel well with each other.

Mohan - really?? you chose a daughter-in-law and you never discussed it?

Radha - This mad guy stopped talking to her and he never told what happened. Tomorrow I will go and find out what is the matter with these both

Mohan - ok fine...sleep now (They both sleep)

NEXT DAY - GUPTA HOUSE

Radha has come to meet Khushi. She rings the door bell. Garima opens the door.

Radha - Namasthe

Garima - Namasthe...you...

Radha - I am Radha Singh Raizada... Arnav's Mother (Though Garima's mind had many thoughts listening to this she welcomes Radha)

Garima - Come in

LIVING ROOM

Radha explains about the intention of her visit.

Shashi - Even I dont know what went wrong...just after this incident she told me that Arnav is the same guy
