It has been about one week since Khushi's father was admitted to the hospital. Lavanya and Arnav have broken up right after he got home from the trip and it was a peaceful breakup. She left the house knowing that she could never make Arnav happy and Arnav could never give her what she needed. Shyam's attempt at killing Shashi in the hospital has failed and he left due to some "work" because he knew the doctor was a bit suspicious of him. Also, with the Raizadas constantly visiting the Guptas in the hospital, Shyam told Anjali and Buaji that he must leave immediately and he will return as soon as possible. The hug happened one week ago and was witnessed by Anjali, Nani, Akash, Payal, Mami, and Mama. Garima and Buaji were waiting near the ICU. After the hug, Arnav, who hugged back, tried to comfort Khushi as Anjali told him that her father had just had a severe heart attack that may cause certain parts of his body to be paralyzed and therefore hinder his ability to speech. Arnav put his hand on the small of Khushi's back and led her to the ICU. The hug left Mami outraged and and everyone else was shocked. Payal looked at Akash and he gave her a reassuring smile and led her along aswell. Anjali and Nani each other a knowing look with just a hint of a smirk, careful of the somber atmosphere. So for the past week the Raizadas has been visiting and bringing food for the Guptas. This gesture made Garima and Payal feel like they had someone to depend on and they became quite fond of Nani and Anjali...and Akash. Mama was busy but visited when he could and Mami tried her best not to come but was forced nevertheless. It was no surprise that Bua and Mami would butt heads in the hospital, but they did tone it down for the sake of the others. Shashi, though was mostly impaired from speaking, was saving his voice for the one moment when he really needed it. He had known of Arnav from Bua and Khushi and Payal. But he realized from the way Khushi had been speaking of him before the trip that Arnav was maybe not as bad as his Jiji thought. He also noticed how thoughtful his family was and he instantly became fond of Anjali and Nani. He also knew of how much Arnav took care of khushi as he could tell on the phone when he talked to his daughter at the dabba and he overheard Nani and Anjali talking about Arnav being nicer and more caring towards Khushi. Shashi knew Shyam had left for a while and knew that he was also hiding from Anjali. He knew the easiest way to save Khushi from marrying Shyam was for her to see Shyam with Anjali and then everyone would come to know about his secret. As the days passed by the doctor kept reminding the family of the fees needed to be payed in order to keep the treatment going. The possibility of Babuji going into a coma was strong. Anjali overheard khushi talking to her mother about how they were to pay the bills. After Anjali left, she told Arnav about their situation. Bua mentioned that Shyam would help but khushi and her mother snapped back that he isn't even here in their time of need proving that he is an outsider and they couldn't ask him if he didn't offer himself. One day in Shashi's room, Arnav was talking to the doctor and he said that he would take care of all the fees and to start the treatment. Shashi realized what he had to do.Saving his voice for a week, told the nurse to fetch some sindoor from the hospital mandir and to call Arnav and Khushi inside. With the weakest voice which broke oftenly he managed to voice out
"Humri bitiya ki zindagi katre mein hain...shayad hum aur waqt is duniya mien nahi rehenge. Khushi ki kayal rakna. Ek din ap ko sab samaj aayega. Aap bohot aache aur nek insaan hain.Khushi ka haat thamlo. Yeh humari aakri ichcha hain," said Babuji to Arnav.
Khushi and Arnav, both shocked looked at each other. Arnav knew that Khushi could deny her fathers last wish and he didn't have it in him to break the trust of someone who believed he was capable of being a good husband to Khushi. Shashi slowly took Khushi's hand placed it in Arnav's. Then he took the small container of sindoor and offered it to Arnav. Arnav took one glance at Khushi and saw the pleading look in get eyes. Khushi knew that if her father had chosen this as her fate, then he must have a good reason for it. He did say afterall that they will figure it out soon. She couldn't bear to see her father leave her disappointed that she didn't eve fulfill his last wish. And with that thought she bowed her head and closed her eyes as Arnav, her new husband gently filled get maang with the sindoor of his name. Just having witnessed the scene after barging in, Anjali, Nani, Bua, Garima, Payal, Akash, Mami and Mama were shocked.
