part 3..
Khushi: Humne kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki aap pyaar me itne matlabi ho jayenge!(I never thought u'll become so selfish in love)
She turns away from Arnav, a tear escaping her eye.
Arnav wanted to yell at her for thinking he was selfish when all he wanted to do, was to spend as much time with her as possible.
But the change in her voice told him she was crying and so he immediately melted.
Afnav(turning Khushi to face him): I'm sorry Khushi!.. Main... mera woh matlab nahi tha.. Plz rona mat! Tumhe pata hai na, main tumhari aankhon me aansoon nahi dekh sakta?(I.. I never meant that.. Plz dont cry!.. U know right, that I cant see tears in ur eyes?)
Khushi looks at him, as another tear rolls down her cheeks.
Arnav wipes the tear with his thumb and kisses her cheek.
Arnav: I'm sorry...
He cups her face and kisses her lips.
Khushi closes her eyes and kisses him back, forgetting about the rest of the world, submitting herself to the one she loved the most.
They are forced to break apart when Arnav's phone rings.
A: What the.. ! Hello.. Yes Mr. Mathur.. (pause) I'll get back to u in five minutes...
He cuts the call and looks at Khushi.
Arnav: Wait right here! Main study se hokar aata hoon.. (I'll be back from the study)
With that he walks off leaving Khushi ashamed at her own self.
Khushi(to herself): Phir se tune wahi kiya Khushi! Unki toh aadat hai- galti karenge, sorry kahenge, kiss karenge aur sab bhool jayenge! Par tu? Tu kyun har baar unke aage ghutne tek kar kamzor padh jaati hai? (Again u did the same thing Khushi! That's his habbit, he commits mistakes, says sorry, kisses and forgets everything! But u? Y do u go weak in the knees every single time?)
She takes out a duffel bag from the cupboard and starts stuffing it with some of her clothes.
Khushi(to herself): Nahi! Is baar hum peeche nahi hatenge! Ab toh unhe unki galti ka ehsaas karvana hi hoga! (No! I will not give up this tym! Now I will have to help him realize his mistake!)
She goes to the dresser and takes her sindoordani(sindoor box), bindis, kohl and other stuff and puts them into the bag as well.
Her eyes fall on her wrists.
Khushi:Chot k nishan toh ab tak nahi gaye..(she looks at her MIL's bangles adorning her wrists) Maji k kangan se puri kalhai toh nahi dhakegi.. Choodiyan pehen lete hain! (The wound marks are still there. Maji's bangles will not be able to hide them.Let me wear some bangles!)
When she opens the drawer in her cupboard, her eyes fall on the bangles that Arnav had gifted her for Teej, the color of those bangles perfectly matched the color of her dress.
Khushi(sliding those bangles down her wrist): Yeh hi pehen lete hain.Waise bhi wahan jaakar humein Arnavji ki yaad to ayegi hi.Tab inhe dekhkar apna man halka kar lenge.. (I'll wear these.. Anyways, I'll miss him after going there.So if these will be with me I'll feel better..)
She picks up the duffel bag and is about to exit the room when she turns back to have a last look at it.
Khushi(thinks): Hey Devi Maiyya! Aapko pata hai na, hum inse aur apne ghar se zyada samay tak door nahi reh payenge?Aap Arnavji ko unki galati ka ehsaas jaldi karva dijiye taaki woh jald se jald humein lene aa jaayein! (Hey Devi Maiyya! U know right, that I wont b able to stay away from him or my house for I long time?U help Arnavji realize his mistake asap so that he will come to take me home very soon!)
She sighs and leaves hurriedly, lest Arnav came back before she could leave.
________________________________________________________________
10 minutes after Khushi leaves, Arnav returns to the room, only to find Khushi missing.
Arnav(worried):Khushi... Khushi...
He looks everywhere but when he is unable to find her , he goes to check with HP.
Arnav(angry):Hari Prakash!...
HP:Ji bhaiyya?
Arnav:Khushi kahan hai?
HP:Bhabhiji toh apni amma k yahan chali gayi. Humse kaha ki aap phone par busy hain toh aapko baad me bata de. (She's left for her mother's home. She told me u were busy on the phone so I should tell u when u r free.)
Arnav(controlling himself): Tum mera tiffin ready rakho. Main kuch der me office jaa raha hoon. (U keep my tiffin ready. I'll be leavin for office soon.)
HP: Woh toh bhabhiji ne pehle hi taiyyar kar diya tha.. (Bhabhiji has kept it ready)
Arnav: Hm.. Aur suno, uske saath kaun gaya hai? (Listen, who has gone to drop her?)
HP:Mohanji gaye hain..
Arnav:Theek hai..
______________________________________________________________
He comes back to his room.He knew Khushi would not take his call and so he calls his driver and asks him to hand the phone to Khushi.
Khushi(to the driver): Aap yaheen rukiye, hum us dukaan se phool lekar aate hain. (U wait here, I'll buy flowers from that shop.)
Mohan: Ji bhabhiji..
She steps out of the car and goes to a lonely corner, away from the car, where she could talk freely to Arnav.
Khushi:Kahiye..
Arnav(in a calm but rude tone): Main kya kahoon? Tumhe jo karna tha tumne kar diya! Ab batao, shaam ko Mohan ko tumhe lene k liye kitne baje bhejoon? (What do I say now? U did whatever u wanted to do. Now tell me, at what time should I send Mohan to pick u up in the evening?)
Khushi:Uski zaroorat nahi padegi, hum wapas nahi aayenge.. (He need not come, I will not come back)
Arnav(unable to control his anger): Main Mohan ko 8 baje wahan bhej raha hoon. Tum uske saath aa jana. Agar maine ghar aakar dekha ki tum yahan nahi ho, toh main khud tumhe wahan lene aaunga!Aur chahe koi kuch bhi kahe, main tumhe apne saath lekar hi aaunga! (I'll send Mohan to pick u up at 8.U come home with him. If I dont find u home when I come back, then I'll personally come to pick u up!no matter who says what, I'll bring u home!)
Khushi: Hum nahi aayenge Arnavji!.. Hum tab tak nahi aayenge jab tak aap humse maafi nahi maangte! Jab tak aapko aapki galti ka ehsaas nahi ho jata! Aapko wahan aana ho toh aap aaiyye, par hum aapke saath ghar nahi aayenge! (I'll not come back!.. Not until u say sorry! Not until u realize ur mistake! If u want to come there, u come, but I will not come home with u! )
Arnav(totally enraged):Khushi!
Khushi:Aur suniye.. hum kuch der me HPji ko phone karenge. Agar humein pata chala ki aapne naashta nahi kiya ya Amanji se pata chala ki aapne khana nahi khaya ya dawai nahi khai, toh hum yahan khana aur pani dono ka tyaag kar denge! Samjhe aap?(and listen.. I'll call HPji soon. If I come to know that u have not eaten ur breakfast or later if Amanji tells me u hav not had ur lunch or taken ur medicines, I will not take water and food over here. Got it?)
She cuts the call. Arnav throws the phone on the bed and plops down on it.
He looks at the room, an eerie silence all around, then he looks at his breakfast.
He sighs as he remembers what Khushi said.
Arnav :Tumne pichchle 3 mahino me is kamre me jaan dal di thi. Tum itna kuch boli jitna maine pichchle 3 saalon me bhi nahi bola hoga! Tumhari hasi, maa k kangan ki khanak, tumhara pyaar-yeh sab lekar chali gayi! Aur mujhse ummeed karti ho ki main normal rahoon, khana khaoon, meeting attend karoon.. Kaise Khushi? Apne peeche jo sannaata chodh gayi ho uska muqabla main kaise karoonga?How dammit?! (U put life in this room in the last 3 months. In these months,U spoke more than what I did in the last 3 yrs! Ur laughter, the tinkling of mom's bangles, ur love, u went away with it all! And u expect me to behave normally, to have food,to attend meetings, how? How will I face the silence u have left behind?)
He goes to the cupboard,takes out a cd labelled "Akash sangeet" and plays it on his laptop.
He fast forwards the videoclip to Khushi's dance.
He eats his breakfast while going through the videos, his eyes are moist all this while.

2 hours after Khushi reaches home..
Garima: Nahi bitiya, tum baitho.Hum aur jiji khana laga dete hain. Tumhre babuji bas aate hi honge. (no bitiya,u sit here.I will serve lunch alongwith jiji. Ur babuji is about to come home.)
Khushi's phone rings so she nods at her mother and goes to pick up her phone.
She smiles as she answers the call.
Khushi:Kaise hain aap? (how r u?)
NK:Khushiji! O, I mean, bhabhiji! I'm fine, aap kaisi hain? (How r u?)
Khushi:Aap humein ab bhi Khushiji keh sakte hain, Nanheji. Hum theek hai. Aap bataiyye,mamaji aur mamiji kaise hain? (U can still call me Khushiji.I'm fine.U tell me, how r mamaji, mamiji?)
NK:Sab theek hai. Aap bataiyye, masiji k haath apke liye kya gift bhejoon?(Everyone's fine. U tell me, what gift should I send for u through masiji?)
Khushi: Aap Arnavji k liye jo sugarfree chocolates bhejenge, bas woh hi hamare liye bhi bhej dijiyega. Aur humein kuch nahi chahiye! (Send me some sugarfree chocolates,just like the ones u send for him.I dont want anything else!)
NK:Par Khushiji, woh toh main bhejne hi wala hoon, Nannav k liye. Aapko woh kyun chahiye? Aah!! I guess aap Nannav k saath woh share karna chahti hain, right? (But I will be sending those anyway for Nannav,then y do u need them?Aah!!I guess u want to share them with Nannav,right?)
Khushi:Ji..
NK:Yaa!I remember.. kaatne se pyaar badhta hai! (love increases when u bite!)
Khushi's eyes go wide at what NK said and she blushes as she recalls all the love bites Arnav gave her on her neck and shoulder.
She closes her eyes,a shy smile spreading across her lips as she recalls how Arnav would moan when she would bite his ear lobe.
Yeah, so NK was right! But she knew he didnt mean that,so she corrects him.
Khushi:Nanheji..!Baatne se pyaar badhta hai! (Love increases when u share!)
NK:O yea.. sorry, sorry!Ok Khushiji, main bahut sare chocolates bhejunga, taaki aapke aur Nannav ka pyaar bahut sara badhe! (I'll send lotsa chocolates, so that ur love increases manifold!)
Khushi:Thank u Nanheji!
NK:Aaya mom! Khushiji, abhi mujhe jana hai, so bye!Nannav ko kehna maine yaad kiya.Use mere greetings dena! (Coming mom. Sorry Khushiji but I gotta go now,so bye!Tell Nannav that I was remembering him. Give my greetings to him!)
Khushi(sighs): Ji Nanheji.Bye.
She looks at her phone, an urge to call Arnav surfaces in her heart.But she ditches it.
Garima:Khusi bitiya,tanik hiyaan aao.. (come here)
Khushi:Aaye amma.. (coming)
She keeps the phone on the table, brushes aside thoughts of Arnav and goes to her mother.
________________________________________________________________
Precap: Shashi:Aur bataiyye damad babu- karobar ka kaam kaaj sab theek chal raha hain?
Arnav:Ji babuji..
He looks at Khushi, who is approaching him and frowns.
