It starts once Garima and Arnav's father's truth is revealed by Dadi.Garima does not say anything in her defence .She looks speechless being worried what will happen to Khushi now.
Arnav is shattered. rest of the family were silent spectators. They were scared about Arnav's reaction even Anjali. dadi and Shyam were eager to see what happens next. Payel was worried about her sister.
Khushi reaches next to Arnav to console him and places her hand over his shoulder.She had firm belief that her Arnavji needed her today. It did not occur to her for the slightest bit of moment that he might call off the wedding. She had full faith on him. And she was disappointed with what he did next.
He brushed off her hand, gave her a disgusted look and walked away from there. She tried to stop him begging him to listen to her, to be with her but he ignored her cries. All these she was doing to support him when he needed her most or so she thought.
He went back to his room as the wedding was taking place in Raizada Mansion. That cursed night was flashing in his mind, nothing else. He was fuming with anger. Khushi followed him. She was still trying to console him.
She called out "Arnavji!!!...Aab shaant ho jayiye. Sab theek ho jayega. Hum ..."
Before she could finish, arnav yelled " ...kabhi ek nhi ho sakte...dadi ne theek hi kaha he khushi...mein hi galat tha. Khun apna rang dikha hi deta hai. Shyam toh gunegar tha hi par tum bhi kuch kam nhi. Ab mujhe sab saf najar aa raha hai. tumne ne bhi wohi kiya na jo tumhare mausi ne kiya tha. yeh coincidence kaiese ho sakta hai?? ye sab sirf tumahre saath hi kyu hua, khusi??"
He comes forward to hold her firmly in his grip " aisa kyun kia tumne Khushi?? Mere emotions ke saath khelte tumhe zara sa bhi sharam nhi aayi?? Aur tum janti thi na apne mausi ke karnamo ke bareme??" He holds her more firmly hurting her "un hone toh mere papa ko barwad kar diya tha ab tum kya chahti hoh mujhse..."
Khushi stares at him with tearful eyes and a broken heart. arnav speaks again " How could you do this to me?? after I loved you more than my life???..." his eyes were red with pain and hurt and anger.
Khushi was still staring at him with disbelief being numb. Then he frees her of his grip and stormed out of the room driving away in his car. She felt her heart was bleeding , that Arnav had just stabbed her right through her heart. At least she wished he had for even that would have been less painful. She could not believe what just happened. Her marriage was broken. The more harsh reality was that she was half married.
On the other hand, Dadi spoke after Arnav had withdrwan from the mandap " ye din toh ekdin aana hi tha. ye shaadi kabhi bhi mumkin nhi thi."
Nani said " Arnav ko hi decide karne do Subhadra"
Dadi :"Ab decide kar ne ke liye bacha hi kya hai??...Khushi was always charcterless. I never wanted such a bahu who had been sleeping with a man without being married to him. Now the marriage is finally called off. Arnav mandap chorke ja chuke hai..." She ordered Garima,
Buaji and Babuji to leave along Khushi and their relatives and never to show their faces again. Anjali and the others were still recovering from what just happened. Shyam was satisfied thinking Khushi would soon be his. Payal ran upstairs to look out for her dearest sister.
She was hell scared when she could not find either of Khushi Arnav's room. After all she was right there before Arnav left. Where could she go?? She screamed for Aakarsh. All the Raizadas and the Guptas went looking for what happened. payal was very scared for her sister for she knew how it felt.
She asked Aakarsh "lets go find khushi. I am so scared" , she said holding Aakarsh by his shirt and crying over his shoulder. Dadi ordered her not to. She said she can only be continuing her marriage if she agrees to end every relation with the Guptas. Payal froze and stood numb. So did Aakash. Aakarsh took Payal to their room.
The Guptas left being worried about khushi. Buaji assured Garima that she trusted her and that she knew Garima could not do anythng wrong but she would hear the story later from her and that khushi might have gone home. After all she is very strong. She would not do anything to hurt herself or her family. So no need to worry.
Arnav was driving very fast. That night was flashing in front of his eyes in details. his eyes were red and wet.Then he remembered Khushi. How she saved his life when he was kidnapped. What happened the day when he and Khushi returned home after kidnapping.these thoughts came flashing to his mind that Khushi could not priduce any proof to him that it was actually Shyam and that she was innocent. He had just believed in her seeing her innocence in her eyes. He could never believe Shyam because he had confessed before. But what about Khushi?.She might have played a game as well to win his trust. She might have plotted to get rid of Shyam and to be the mistress of Raizada Mansion overnight. After all if her aunt could be so mean, why cant she be?? Then he rememberd all his moments with Khushi. Was she acting all along?
His heart could not agree but now he was reluctant to listen to his heart. May be he need to look into the matter more deeply.He wanted to rip his heart apart. Even he was feeling a big hole in his empty heart which had been wounded only by his Khushi. He stopped driving, got out of his car, banged his hand on the hood of the car and sat down in the road in front of his car crying his heart out. Was there no way that Khushi could be innocent. The arrogant ASR in him was telling him that Dadi was right all along. Khushi was a cheap girl just like her aunt. It was in her blood. its not a big thing for her.
But his heart was speaking again and again that he needed to know more. His Khushi could not be mean. She loves him. He needed to find out what actually happened that night. He remembered he was looking Garima right through her eyes when Dadi was accusiing her. Somewhere he felt Garima could not do so. She could feel her honesty. She had known her as Khushi's mother for a long time now and he knew she was caring and honest. Then??...He was lost in his thoughts.
on the other hand in Gupta House it was past mid night but yet no sign of Khushi. Everyone was worried and Garima was crying inexcessibly holding Babuji's hand in front of his wheel chair saying "Its all my fault. I should not have..."
Bauji tried to raise his hand and keep it over garima's... assuring her he understands...Buaji was speechless saying over and over again "Nothing will happen to Khushi...Just then NK called Buaji to ask about Khushi.
He was hell worried and wanted to support her throught out as a friend. Buaji informed him that Khushi did not return yet. They do not know where she was. NK was shocked.
He called Arnav to inform him about Khushi. Because deep inside even he knew that Arnav loves her much more than his own life.
Arnav's phone was on vooice mail. But when he got the message, that Khushi was missing, though he was so confused in his accusations and was determined that he would look into the whole matter in details but he would not give her a chance to hurt him again, he would hate her from now on, he could not stand it. He got so restless. He felt that his world was actually over. His Khushi was missing.
