Arnav: Let me finish! He whispered darkly against her shivering lips. I am not letting you walk away on me today Mrs. Khushi Arnav Singh Raizaada. I am your HUSBAND and YOU owe me an explanation! He said pushing her body more into the wall. Khushi tried her best to turn her head away due to the smell of the alcohol, but it was impossible for her to do so.

Khushi: Do you really wanna know the reason? She asked putting the best of herself in front of him.

Arnav: Any doubts? He asked in a tone full of sarcasm. Khushi swallowed the lump in her throat.

Khushi: It's Alcohol! She whispered against his lips trying hard to keep the memories away.

Arnav's body froze to its place... his hold on her wrists loosened instantly and it took him little time to fathom what she had just said. Once he did, his first reaction made him move back. He took two steps back unable to look at her as he felt the need to maintain a distance since he himself had consumed alcohol sometime back. Khushi stared at him trying to decipher his reaction. Why wasn't he saying anything?

Khushi: Arnav? She whispered his name trying to get an answer and reached to him with her hand. But before she could touch him he raised his hand indicating the distance and moved further away from her. Khushi just stared at him blankly... while Arnav looked in every possible direction but not towards her. Without saying any other thing he just descended down the stairs and went to the lower level where the bar was. Khushi stood there waiting for him for a few minutes but when he didn't return she quietly went back to her room resting herself on the grey color couch surrounded with burning candles.

She lied down on the couch thinking about what had just happened; had she done the right thing by telling him her fear? His reaction was' confusing! She didn't know what was going on in his mind. Although she had let go her silence in the moment... she knew she couldn't have seen him in so much pain. He was blaming himself for her condition... which was completely unacceptable to her. No! She wouldn't let him blame himself and bare so much of pain.

Khushi closed her eyes thinking about what she had done to her marriage. The man whom she loved her whole life... thought she didn't think of him to be worthy of her. How could he even think such a thing? And now he didn't even believe her... he didn't believe her when she said she couldn't stand alcohol... therefore he just went back to the bar not even returning. Khushi looked at the wall clock seeing the time which was about 3:30 in the morning. It was still dark outside and Arnav had still not come back. It had been half an hour or so since he went downstairs. She contemplated whether she should go down or not. If he did not believe her on this then how would he believe her past? Will he listen to her with complete faith in her, and trust her with her childhood memories? Khushi sighed a deep breath and got off the couch running down the stairs into the lower level of their penthouse where she was stepping only the second time since she had first stepped into this house 4 days back.

Khushi descended the last few steps very slowly making sure not even her anklets make any sound. She didn't know where would she start from? What would she tell him? It wasn't easy for her to tell this part of her to anyone. She had never ever in her life shared such experiences with anyone, not even Aunt Lintonbon and not even Payal. Then how will she talk to him about her family... tell him that it was his best friend because of whom she is like this. Tell him that she sorry to make him feel so unwanted when he is the only one she ever wanted and will always want. Tell him that...

Khushi: I love you Arnav! The words escaped her mouth in a melodious whisper unknown to her as she stared at her husband's back who stood a few feet away from her. Arnav who had been packing a card board box dropped the brown tape roll on the ground and turned to look at his wife.

Arnav: What... what did you say?

Khushi: huh? A...Arnav, why didn't you come up? I was starting to get worried for you. She said not looking him in the eye. She just didn't know where to start the conversation from?

Arnav: What did you just say Khushi? He asked her looking straight at her pale face. Khushi still looked away as he walked towards her with firm steps, cornering her to the wall. She was breathing heavily with the proximity and she mentally kicked herself for not being able to control herself around him. He need for him was increasing day by day but she just didn't have it in her to tell him that she needed him and wanted him more than any damn thing in this world.

Arnav: Why are you here? Khushi smelled mint when he spoke and surprised looked in his eyes.
Khushi: Why didn't you come back to the room?

Arnav: I asked you the question first... you wanted to tell me something; that's why you are here right?

Khushi: I've already told you what you wanted to know... I've nothing more to say!

Arnav: I know there's more to it... something terribly wrong... *He sighed helpless* why don't you just tell me Khushi?

Khushi: Arnav please... You wanted to know the reason to my behavior... and I told you. It's not you... so don't you ever blame yourself. As far as... the 'more to it' is concerned... there's nothing exciting about it... which would give you any peace of mind or me any happiness. So we rather not talk about it!

Arnav: But Khushi...

Khushi: You won't ask me a word about it now... please, If I mean anything to you! She said looking him in the eye. She got out of his hold wanting to go back upstairs when her sight fell on the packed cardboard boxes... and the empty bar shelves.

Arnav had been packing all the alcohol? Arnav: I'll get all this removed from our home by tomorrow morning. And I promise you... I won't drink from now on! Khushi looked at him shocked, her eyes wide open and her lips forming a cute little O. Arnav slowly walked to her and cupped her face in his palms kissing her forehead lightly.

Arnav: I won't ask you about it if you aren't comfortable talking. But it's important for me to know Khushi... think about it. Khushi nodded her head and turned around to go back to her room.

Arnav: By the way... *He called after her and she turned around* you dance really well Mrs. Raizaada! He complimented her winking at her with a sweet smile playing on his lips. The whole night had been stressful but he didn't fail to bring a smile on her face even after such an eventful day. Khushi blushed crimson turning her face away from him and ran up the stairs, her anklets playing a musical sound.

Krystle sat in her boutique office thinking about what she could do to help Khushi. After last night's party and especially getting to know that Khushi was indeed married to Arnav who was Karan's best friend... Krystle wanted to help the couple even more. Krystle: What can be done? Hmm. She thought!

Krystle: Yes honeymoon! She exclaimed excited almost jumping on her chair. Krystle immediately picked up her phone and dialed a number super restless to share her idea with someone.

Lavanya: Hello... La this side? La answered her landline, holding the cordless in between her shoulder and ear while she painted her nails with care worried that she would ruin the art.

Krystle: La... I have an idea and you are going to pat me on my back for telling you this first! Aaahhh!! OMG!!!She almost shouted on the phone excited making La drop the cordless down not able to stand the high pitched noise in her ear.

La tried to balance the phone in her hand and in the process smudged the nail paint.

La: Look what you made me do? She answered the phone irritated. Because of you... I ruined my nail paint... I've been doing this for the last one and a half hour!

Krystle sighed: Why the hell can't you just behave yourself La?

La: I am myself! She defended. And anyways' why are you so excited anyways? Planned a party for your 366^th wedding day?

Krystle: Oh, shut up La, you won't believe what I have in mind... We are going to plan Arnav and Khushi's honeymoon!

La: what??? She shouted shocked as well as excited as she dropped the nail paint bottle on the floor.
