Part 23
Inside the room, Anjali raises her hand and puts in the air to stop him..bus..I don't want to hear any of your excuses. All Raizadas hide behind the dooras they see Anjali leaving the room taking Khushi along with her.
In the hall...
Anjali and Khushi come to the hall followed by other Raizadas. However, they are unnoticed by Anjali and Khushi.
Khushi realizes what happened inside the room and regrets about her suggestion she gave to Anjali.
Khushi: sobbing...di..I am sorry..I am very very sorry...I think I shouldn't suggest you to work. If I didn't encourage you to work, JIJAJI wouldn't have fought with you or raised his hand on you. I am extremely sorry..
Anjali: no..Khushi..n...however, Khushi runs off from there without any response. Anjali tries to go to her room but is stopped by a voice behind her.
Arnav: di..
Anjali: turns to him and finds all Raizads standing there...she too cries..
.Chote..not now..I have to go to Khushi..she is alone..in pain..she is blaming herself whereas there is no fault of her...even she goes upstairs without listening to Arnav.
Meanwhile, Khushi goes to poolside and stands there with tears in her eyes and face. She cries herself out.
Khushi: (thinking to herself)..how can I do this? I shouldn't have encouraged di..to work..what if..what if I didn't reach on time..that creepwa had been slapped di...noo..no...I cannot let him be with di...the truth should come out now...but di id pregnant...she won't be able to bear it...she pauses her thoughts for a while and cries...then, she goes back to her thoughts where, buaji and amma came to RM for Payal's pagd phare rasam and how Khushi burst her anger out. How her jiji refused to talked to her parents untill Khushi forgives them. Thinking all of that, she cries more and says to herself...how can I forget that. Because of me jiji doesn't talk to amma and buaji...She must be missing them. I am the cause of all people's pain. First, because of me jiji's rishta was broken. Then, we came to Delhi. Then, that Shyamji following me and the engagement and bauji's illness. If I didn't get married, Arnavji would have broken jiji's rishta from jiju. The, we got married. Arnavji didn't trust me. I hurt them by getting married this way. They abdomen me. Then, I got angry and made jiji not to talk to them. She must be in pain. amma and buaji would be hurt so much by my behavior. Then, I encouraged di to work. Arnavji got mad at me. Now even he thinks I am jealous of his di...what should I do...why I always end up hurting others...she stands there for a while crying and lost in her thoughts.
Nevertheless, she wipes her tears and dials a number to someone.
Khushi:..hello...
After some talking her hangs up the phone feeling someone tapping on her shoulder. Khushi turns to find Anjali standing in front of her.
Khushi: di...she hugs her sobbing uncontrollably.
Anjali: too cries, but caresses her hand on Khushi's back to sooth her.
After a few minutes, she breaks the hug and wipes Khushi's tears..
Khushi: still sobbing..di..I am sorry..I shouldn't have..
Anjali: no princess, it's not your fault...
Khushi: what if..what if he actually slapped you..she is shivering by just thinking of that moment. She cannot even imagine what would have happened as she knows how cunning and evil her di's husband is..
Anjali: no princesses, no..it;s not right to blame on yourself. Please stop crying. I am not bother about what happened today. In fact, it's good I have raised my voice for my desire. At least I got to know some real face of my husband. He could have let me work after my baby is born if not now. I am shocked that he raised his hand on me. You know Khushi, I wouldn't mind if he slapped me, but I felt hurt that he raised his hand on me when I am pregnant with his baby. Anyways, leave all these..you know I am so proud of you. I really respect you more now that you stood up for me, for a woman who is pregnant.
Khushi: but di..because of me you two fought.
Anjali: no..it's not because of you. It's just an argument. It will be solved.And anyways, do you think I will leave this matter this easily? I will of course talk to others and start working. I won't let your efforts go wast just because he raised his hand. But you don't worry and make yourself sick crying otherwise, your make-up will be ruined and starts giggling to light her mood.
Khushi: making baby face...kya hum acche nahi lagte..[Am I looking awful?]
Anjali: no, not at all. In fact, you look so beautiful even while crying.
Khushi: di...
Anjali: aree...it's not me who is saying this, but it's chote..who always compliment you for anything you do.
Khushi blushes a little, but it's fades away remembering all the words said by him. Anjali notices this and understands that they must have fought.
Anjali: chalo princess, let's go in. humm? Khushi nods and they both go down. However, they didn't notice that Arnav was listening to their conversation between them...he feels proud and happy seed the bond between his di and his wife.
Raizads see Anjali and Khushi come downstairs, but they kept quite knowing it's not right time to discuss about anything happened about an hour ago. They all go to their respective room after the breakfast except Khushi and Payal.
ArHi's room...
Arnav sitting on the bed sadly thinking about the incident happened few hours ago. He is proud of Khushi the way she stood up for his sister. But sad and guilty on the other side as he hurt his Khushi saying all those ugly awful words to her.
He is lost in his thoughts on how to talk and manofy Khushi when he hears a knock on the door.
Arnav: gets up and opens the door to find Anjali standing at the door...Di..
Anjali enters the room to find her chote sad and lost. She drags him to the bed and makes him sit on the bed then, she sits beside him.
Anjali: what happened chote..why weren't you there to console Khushi?
Arnav: woh di..you told me that you are going..so I..
Anjali: is that so, or you two have fought?
Arnav: di..no..not at all.
Anjali: really?
Not being able to hide anymore, he hugs Anjali and cries his heart out.Anjali doesn't understand all of his sudden cry as she thought they would have fought on small silly things..She caresses his back to sooth him.
After a while, she breaks the hug and cups his face in her palm.
Anjali: what happened chote..what happened?
Arnav: di...I ..
Anjali: haan..
Arnav: di...I hurt Khushi..di...then, he tells her about their last night fight.
Anjali is so shocked to hear this from him...Chote..how could you? How could you thinking something like this about Khushi? Don't you know she is the one who takes care of me to the most? Don't you know she loves me equally you do? How can you hurt her. She was just helping me. She was trying to encourage me so I can fulfill my wishes and dream I ever have dreamed. Do you even know, by encouraging me..she is trying to fulfill her dream. I mean I can see the spark in her eyes while talking about independent and strong. She sees herself through me working.
Listening to Anjali, now Arnav feels more guilty and breaks down totally. he puts his head in her lap and cries out loud.
Arnav: sorry, di...I am really sorry.
Anjali: well you should be Arnav.
Arnav gets shocked as his di called him Arnav. He knows she calles him Arnav only when she is upset with him.
Arnav: di..please now you don't stop talking to me. I know I have hurt Khushi, but please tell me what to do. Help me. Please I am sorry.
Anjali too has tears in her eyes and cups his face once again in her hand
and gently says, Chote..this is between you and your Khushi. You have to realize that your anger is affecting your married life, on her. You have to learn to control your anger. You should have listen and tried to understand her prescriptive view. You have spoil it now, you have tend her, sooth her. Please don't take your anger on her. Poor she, always makes others happy, but what does she get in return? pain and pain all the way. I know you cannot voice your feelings that much, but you have to learn to voice them out. I know we both have a painful past, but Khushi's no less. She too lost her parents. Then, she was adopted, but after your marriage, she got an orphanage again as buaji and ammaji refused to accept her. since then, she is all alone even we are here for her. Now, it's your responsibility to tack care of her, to make sure, she does not misses her parents.
Arnav: listening to his di, he realizes, how much pain Khushi would be bearing. ..di..I am sorry, I promise, I won't hurt her again.
Anjali: yeah chote..please talk to her and solve the differences between you and make sure not to say any of these words to her ever again.
Arnav: di...you are not mad at me..are you?
Anjali: no. I am not mad at you. It's just...anyways go and bring our old Khushi back humm?
Arnav nods and hugs Anjali. She too hugs him back. After a minute, she breaks the hug, kisses on his forehead and leaves the room.
Precap: think about the phone call Khushi made..who do you think she called??
