Part 3
Khushi spun around so fast that she misbalanced. She felt strong arms grip her waist to keep her from falling. Arnav pulled her to him and opened his mouth to rebuke her, but no sound came out. He just continued staring into her intoxicating hazel eyes. Until she felt someone grab her hair and spin her around.
Lavanya- "How dare you touch my boyfriend?"
Khushi- "What? Listen..."
Lavanya- "Just shut up! I have no time to listen to your cheap talks."
Khushi- "But I..."
Lavanya- "I know all about you middle class girls. You come here to the city to trap rich handsome guys but unfortunately for you this time I'm here to stop this."
Khushi- "Listen, I'm not stealing your boyfriend from you and I certainly do not want to fight over him. So..."
Lavanya- "Oh I see! You know what those innocent tricks may work on other people but Lavanya is no fool. I just know a tramp when I see one."
Khushi felt tears well up into her eyes and she was just to hurt to give Lavanya a fitting reply. She did not even notice that Arnav's eyes had turned red with fury and his palms balled up in fists. Khushi looked up and met Arnav's eyes with teardrops rolling onto her cheeks. She turned away from him and started for home.
Arnav knew she was hurting so much but why is it making a difference to him?. She deserved everything that was said to her, so why is her tears making him feel as if someone had taken a knife and stabbed him through his chest. With the mixed emotions he was feeling he started walking to his car when he heard Lavanya mocking Khushi with her two friends Pam and Sim.
Arnav did not know why but he felt like slapping Lavanya and dragging her to Khushi to apologize.
Lavanya- "ASR! Baby, I thought you where going home."
Arnav stood there silent because he knew if he opened his mouth he's going to say something he's going to regret. He just turned and walked to his car leaving a confused Lavanya gaping at him.
Gupta house
Khushi walked into her house without even giving her family a glance.
Garima- "Bitiya, you came, go freshen up and come I'll serve dinner." But no reply came from her.
Buaji- "Hey Sankadevi! Where are you lost?"
Khushi just walked to her bedroom and closed the door leaving her family stunned at her behavior. Payal knew that something was wrong with her sister today. The girl because of whom the Gupta house is always noisy, is silent for the first time today.
Payal walked to the bedroom door and walked inside. She saw her standing against the window frame and just staring outside, lost in her own little world.
Payal- "Khushi? What happened? She walks toward her and puts her hand on her forehead and said " Are you feeling ill? Do you want me to phone the doctor?"
Khushi turned to look at her Jiji and tried to force a smile and said " No Jiji, I'm fine. I just have a slight headache that's all."
Payal- Khushi! You can lie to the world but I can see the the lie in your eyes. Have you forgotten that I grew up with you?
Khushi burst out crying and held her sister tight. In between her sobs she narrated the incident that happened today.
Payal- Hey my silly girl, where's my strong headed Khushi gone to? My sister is a fighter not an emotional fool. The next time this happens let my fighter Khushi take over and then watch how everyone will be left stunned.
Khushi started to smile a bit feeling so lucky that she has a Jiji like Payal.
Payal- Okay, enough drama now let's go and eat. Shall we?
Khushi- Yes Jiji, I'm so hungry and here you are standing and lecturing me. Come on!
Raizada house
Arnav walked like a storm into his house. He did not even hear when his Di called. He had no time for all their questions today. His family is so fond of asking him questions even when he did not want to answer. He walked up to his room, opened the door and banged it shut.
Why am I only thinking of her? I'm suppose to hate her, he thought. He was so furious with himself for having this unexplainable feelings. He just could not understand this new emotions.
Arnav- "I'm not going to let some middle class girl come into my life and change who I am. What the? What nonsense am I talking? And since when did I start talking to myself like this? What the hell has come over me? He just had one word to say after this crazy day "Unbelievable"

Precap part 4
Arnav- Khushi get into the car I'll take you to college!
Khushi told him calmly- No thank you Arnav, I'm a big girl I will manage.
Arnav- I said get into the DAMN car NOW!!!!!!
Khushi looked at him stunned. How dare he scream at me? she thought.
Khushi- Like I said before thank you but I will manage. Now run along or else your girlfriend will think I'm stealing you.
Khushi started to walk away when Arnav furiously yanked her by her arms and pinned her against his car door, digging his nails into her creamy delicate flesh and bruising it.
Arnav screamed- Don't you ever walk away from me when I'm talking to you! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
