She follows him, and he walks really fast not caring about Khushi who is struggling to keep up, talking to his business clients on the phone. While Khushi stops for a second to quickly tie up her hair as the heat of the sun causes her to feel extremely hot, she loses Arnav in the crowd. Running around, she tries looking for him, and tries calling him but is unsuccessful.
she stands next to a shop, and ponders over everything that has happened over the course of last month, and she feels her anger increasing. As she starts to walk aimlessly, Arnav finds her, and screams at her for not sticking with him. Khushi ignores him, and asks him to "take her back home". Arnav, momentarily, taken aback by her behaviour, takes her back to the hotel room and finds himself getting angry at her ignoring him. He snaps at her, and Khushi loses control of the last shred of patience and control and unleashes all her wrath at him.
Arnav is shocked, and tries to retort, but Khushi does not listen, and Arnav apologises.

It seems that Khushi has given up on the marriage, while Arnav has finally started to realise what Khushi has been going through, and decides to gain her forgiveness.
