Khushi signed the contract papers to join 'Rhythm'.
Arnav:Very good.But one thing.Your first show is coming up.First impression is the best impression.So if you have to really perform well...
K:Yes.I will give my best.I promise.
A:Good.I liked your confidence.

Khushi's first show...
She dressed in green in a contemporary style.She danced with full energy leading her group members..
'Jaa na na na ki saha nahin jaaye
Jungle mein bole koyal ku ku ku ku ku ku
(kukuku)
Jungle mein bole koyal ku ku ku ku ku ku
(kukuku)
Kahin aag lage lag jaave
Koi naag dase das jaave
Kabhi gagan gir jaave
Chaahe kuchh bhi ho jaaye
Is toote dil ki peedh sahi na jaaye..'{Taal}.


Everybody clapped their hands through out.Arnav stood up and clapped his hands.Khushi became emotional.Arnav went towards her:Because of you this show is successsful Khushi.
Khushi shed tears due to happiness.

The next show.Khushi was dressed up.Arnav entered the back stage.
A:Khushi,your partner Abhinav cheated on us.He broke his contract and went abroad to do someone else's show.
She was shocked.
A:I will never leave him.I will file case against him.
K:Leave it Arnavji.If you file case against him also there is no use.Tonight's show is more important.Without him how can i perform?If i don't perform wt will happn to our troupe?It will harm our troupe's name.
A:Never.I won't let it happen.
K:What will we do?
A:I will dance with you.
Khushi could'nt believe it.
A:I love dace.That' why i started this troupe.Because of other commitments i could'nt continue dancing.But today i'm getting a chance.Our show has to rock Khushi.
She was relieved.But still she was tense.

Stage...
Khushi swayed her body o music:

Ishq bina kya marna yaara
Ishq bina kya jeena) - 2
Gud se meetha ishq ishq, imli se khatta ishq
Vaada yeh pakka ishq ishq, dhaaga yeh kachcha ishq
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Ishq bina kya marna yaara
Ishq bina kya jeena{Taal}.

Arnav pulled her towards him and danced romantically:
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
(Gud se meetha ishq ishq
Imli se khatta ishq ishq) - 2
Vaada yeh pakka ishq ishq
Dhaaga yeh kachcha ishq ishq
(Ishq bina kya jeena yaaron
Ishq bina kya marna yaaron) - 2
(Gud se meetha ishq ishq
Imli se khatta ishq ishq) - 2
...


After the dance they got lost in each other for a few moments.They shared an eye lock unknowingly.

Everybody clapped their hands.They came back to their senses.
Khushi thought:I have danced with so many men.But why i did'nt feel like this while dancing with others?I have a strange feeling.
Arnav thought:Khushi,you have aays caught my attention.At first sight itself you impressed me.Now i realize that it was love.When i danced with you it was pure romance,the beautiful expression of love.

Khushi went to a lonely area and danced in the rain fogetting the surrounding.
'Dil ye bechain ve, raste pe nain ve
Dil ye bechain ve, raste pe nain ve
Jindari behaal hai, sur hai na taal hai
Aajaa saanvariyaa, aa, aa, aa, aa
Taal se taal milaa, ho taal se taal milaa..'{Taal}.

She was drenched in rain.Water drops fell on her face ad made her cool.Unexpectedly Shyam held her hand.Khushi was shocked:Shyamji!
He had an evil smile on his face.
S:You thought by laving the bar you can escape from me?Never.There s no one here.No body can save you now.
She was shocked.She pushed him and ran way.He ran after her and held her hand.
S:I told you Khushi..this time you can't escape from me.
His rough hands fell on her soft petal like skin and it pained.It wounded her heart also.She screamed loudly:Arnavji!
Surprisingly Arnav reached there.He hit Shyam heavily.Shyam hit him back.Arnav's face got injured.Khushi cried:Arnavji!
Arnav hit him back with full force.
Finally Shyam became so weak that he could'nt move his body.
S:Please don't kill me.I will go from here.I will never trouble Khushi in future.
Khushi was relieved.
Arnav and Khushi walked away.Thy saw a small cottage and got inside.
Arnav removed his torn shirt.
K:Thanks Arnavji.You saved my life.How come you were there?
A:I felt like seeing you.I felt that you will be here as i know that for secret pleasure you come here to dance.But Khushi...stop coming to this lonely place to dance.It's dangerous.Why did you call out my name when you were in danger?

K:I don't know Arnavji...unknowingly i uttered your name.
Arnav's eyesfell on her body.Her wet white saree showed her curves.
A:Khushi,never wear white saree and dance in rain.
Suddenly she looked at herself and got embarassed.She covered her bosom with her hands.

She saw his wound on his face.
K:Wound..
Unknowingly she touched it.
A:You touched my wound.I have no pain now.Your touch was a medicine.
She became conscious and took her finger off his face.She walked backward and her leg got sprained.
K:Ah!
A:Khushi!
He went towards her
and caressed her face.She closed her eyes.

A:Don't wory Khushi.
He lifted her in his arms.She looked at him unbelievingly.

He placed her down softly.

They lost in each other's eyes.
A:Khushi...i touched you.Why did'nt you stop me?

She became very emotional:I don't know Arnavji.I was a strong girl.But in front of you i become weak.

A:Is it love Khushi?
She looked at him with shock.
A:I love you Khushi.
She was stunned.
