In Raizada house Shashi,Garima and Madhumati had come.They all were worried as Khushi had left with Gauri at night without informing anyone.
Manorama:Phatti sari has no manners.We don't know where she took our dear Gauri bitiya.
Aarav:Hey'don't talk like this about my mom.I will not tolerate it.
Mano:Hello hi bye bye'see how this little boy is talking in this age.No wonder.Tht phatti sari only is bringing him up.
Akash:Maa'please'
Mamaji:Manorama..don't over react.Let Khushi and Gauri come back first before coming to a conclusion.
Nani:Manorama,we have faith in our Khushi bitiya.She will never do anything wrong.She is brought up very well by Shashiji and Garimaji.The same upbringing is given to Aarav by Khushi bitiya.
Shashi,Garima and Manorama were relieved.
Mano:Sasoomaaa'
Payal:Maaji'Khushi must have gone out for an important purpose.She can never do any wrong thing.
Mano:You and your sister are on one side.
Anjali:Mamiji'Khushi is a very nice girl.We trust her.
Lavanya:Khushi is a well mannered girl.She only taught me the importance of culture.What if she is with ASR?Even he is not here.
NK:Yes'Khushiji must be with Nannav.
Suddenly Khushi and Gauri reached home.
She was excited to see her her parents and buaji.
K:Bauji'amma'buaji'when did you all reach?
Manorama:First you say where you took this innocent girl?
Nani:Khushi bitiya,where were you?We all got scared.
K:Sorry Naniji,we had to leave in a hurry.So I could'nt inform anyone.
Nani:But where were you?
Khushi and Gauri looked at each other.
Khushi smiled:Don't worry Nani.Arnavji will tell you everything.There is a happy news.
Dadi:You can't run away easily by not giving an answer Khushi.
Khushi and Gauri were nervous.
Arnav came.
K:Arnavji,you came back fast?
Arn:Ya'there was no traffic block.
Mano:Hey'phatti sari..tell where you took Gauri at night.
Khushi was nervous.
Arn:I will tell.I only called Khushi to come.
Nani:Chottey'you were with them.
Arn:Yes Nani.
They all were relieved.
Arn:Aman was also with us.
Akash:Why Aman?
Arn:Aman and Gauri like each other.We both made them confess their love to each other.
They were shocked.
Nani:Chottey'what are you saying?Gauri is so small.
Anj:Ha chottey'You know Gauri's age?
Arn:But Gauri loves Aman.
Dadi:It's too early for her to think about any relationship.It is the elders' duty to make her understand what is wring and what is right.Instead of doing that what you and Khushi did was wrong.Khushi'you have helped Anjali.But what you are doing this is not for Gauri's good.
K:But Dadi...
Dadi:Enough...don't say anything.
Khushi could not move.
Dadi:First you seduced Arnav and made him marry you during Akash-Payal's wedding.Because of you, he did'nt care about the culture,tradition and custom.
Dadi's words tore Khushi's heart and the blood which flowed from her bleeding heart came out through her eyes as painful tears.
Shashi,Madhumati,Payal and Garima were really upset.They could'nt hear it anymore.They were in tears.
Garima:Please Subhadraji'please don't talk like this about our Khushi.
Dadi:Garima,a cheap woman like you has no right to support your daughter when she does something wrong.
Madhumati:Arnav beta's dadiji'we cannot tolerate if you talk like this about our Sanka Devi.
Shashi:You are misunderstanding Khushi.
Payal:Dadi'please don't talk like this about Khushi.
Anjali:Dadi,please don't hurt Khushiji.She has done so much for this family.
NK:Yes,Khushiji risked her own life to save Nannav.
Nani:Subhadra'don't be so rude.
Dadi:Devyani,sometimes truth can be rude.I can't help it.
Lavanya:Dadiji'because of Chamkili ASR can't forget tradition,culture and custom.Because Chamkili is the epitome of all these.So her influence can only help ASR to learn all these.
Dadi:Lavanya,don't talk when elders talk.Whatever you say I know that it's Khushi who made Arnav take this drastic step.Because of Khushi,Arnav is misguiding his own sister.Khushi,like you tempted Arnav to show disrespect to everyone by marrying you all of a sudden during his own brother's wedding again you are stooping so low.Oh!How could I forget that it was not even marriage?It was a fake marriage to which Khushi tied Arnav.She lived with him for 6 months shamelessly without marrying him properly.
Khushi was really broken down.
Suddenly Arnav burst out:Enough Dadi.I kept quiet,not because you were right,but only because I wanted to know to what extent you can go.I thought after knowing Shyam's truth you apologized to Khushi from the bottom of your heart.But still there is poison in your mind.
Dadi:Arnav,I apologized to Khushi sincerely.But I cannot support her always.I can't support her when she does mistakes.What she did for Gauri can't be forgiven.
Gauri was upset:Please don't blame Khushi bhabhi.She did it for my happiness.
Arn:Dadi,you can't blame Khushi alone in Gauri and Aman's case if we were wrong.Because we both are equally responsible for it.Khushi did'nt force me for anything.
Dadi:Ok'but I know that she tempted you to get you married to her.Otherwise you would not have married her all of a sudden.
Arn:No Dadi.Don't use such cheap words to blame Khushi.She did'nt tempt me.I only did that.
Dadi asked in a sarcastic tone:You tempted her and immediately she got tempted and submitted herself to you.How can you trust such a woman?After all she is Garima's niece.
Khushi was deeply wounded by Dadi's words.
Garima:Subhadraji,please don't hurt Khushi just because she is my daughter.You blame me.But please don't blame her for no fault of her's.
Madhumati held Khushi's hand:Arnav's dadi'we also have self respect.We can't tolerate our Khushi and Garima getting insulted like this.
Dadi:I was just telling the truth.
Arn:Khushi is not someone who gets carried away by temptation.I forced her to marry me.
Anjali remembered her conversation with Arnav.She was insecure about Arnav-Khushi's closeness when she felt that because of that,Arnav was going away from her.But Arnav made her understand that no one can come between him and Anjali.He even told her that he married Khushi not because of love,but only because of his misunderstanding that she had an affair with Shyam.Inorder to save Anjali's life only he married her.But that time she did'nt understand it in the full sense.
She stared at Arnav to hear the full truth.
Arn:Yes,I married her forcefully.
K:Arnavji'please'.
Arn:Khushi,today you can't stop me from telling the truth.
