Prologue:
"It's all over! Everything's over Arnav! Everything!" Khushi sobbed on Arnav's shoulder.
"No, Khushi! You still have Liya. Our Liya!" Arnav responded trying to console Khushi.
"Khushiji, Ranisahiba and I are both with you! We are with you through thick and thin!" Shyam said.
"I have always lost what I loved!" Khushi was sobbing harder now!
"Khushi, please just relax."
"May I talk to Arnav?" The doctor asked.
*****
"Khushi is suffering depression. This loss was very hard for her and I think it's best if you take her out of Delhi for a little bit. She needs a vacation, whether she goes alone, or you accompany her doesn't matter. She just needs to relax. I will give her a prescription for anti-depressants, but she needs your whole family's support. It's very tough for her to get through this alone."
"We are all willing to support her, and I know just what I have to do!"
"Good! She will be discharged tomorrow."
"Thanks Dr.Priya."
"Please, call me Priya. Khushi is a really good friend of mine."
"Thank you Priya."
*****
"Chottey, she's always wanted to go to London for the fashion course. It's only six months."
"I know Di, I told you about that myself, but I'm not sure that'll be such
a good idea. I mean, Khushi alone in London for so long."
"Go with her! Stay in London for a month and help her get situated!"
"Hello, Aman book two one way tickets to London!"
