Arnav frowned at Maan and Khushi:Maan…you should be ashamed of yourself.Just because you faked death shamelessly to be with your wife's sister poor Geet is getting insulted.And Khushi,you broke your own sister's heart.
Maan and Khushi could'nt reply back due to pain though these were fale allegations against them.
Arnav went away from them.
K:Maanji,I know that di cheated us.But she should not get insulted here.Because she is not a widow.
Maan raised his hand hinting her to stop talking.Khushi was helpless.
Maan heard some ladies talking rudely to Geet:You are a widow?Then how could you come here?
Geet tried to run away crying.Unexpectedly Maan held her hand.She looked at him with a shock.
M:Geet is not a widow.I am her husband.
They were shocked.Arnav and Geet were stunned as they never expected Maan to speak out the truth.
M:It's just that now we are not together.So she has the right to attend this puja.Don't you think so?
They all nodded their head.Khushi smiled emotionally.
The puja started.But Geet's teary eyes were on Maan.
After puja…
Geet went near Maan:Thank you Maan for saving my reputation.But why did you save me from humiliation.
M:Like you stood for truth during the fashion show competition today I stood for the truth.
Suddenly Devayani said loudly:I want to inform you an important matter.
Everyone looked at her.
D:Today my Geet was insulted by others telling that she was a widow.I won't allow anyone to insult her again telling that she is a divorcee.So my grand son Arnav is soon going to wed Geet.
Geet and Arnav were shocked.Maan and Khushi became sad.
Maan thought:Why should I be upset hearing that they are going to be married to each other?It was expected.
Khushi thought:I hate Arnav.Still why did my heart get pricked while hearing their wedding anniversary.
Maan-Khushi went near Arnav-Geet .
M:Congrats!
K:Congrats.
Arnav and Geet became upset ,because somehow they felt bad to be congratulated by their ex-partners who have place in their heart now also.
They walked out.Geet's eyes were full of tears.Suddenly she opened her mouth.
G:Maan!
Man looked at her with hope.
He thought:Geet…are you calling me back to your life?
Geet went near him.Man looked at her with hopes.
He said in his mind:I am willing to forget the past if you come back to me Geet.Let us start a new life.I know that you also long for that.
Geet suppressed her pain and said:Maan,hope you understand that we need to get divorced legally.Otherwise I won't be able to marry Arnav soon.
Maan was disappointed.His heart which had hopes for a new start was broken again.But his ego was not allowing him to reveal his pain.
M:I am also willing to give you divorce soon Geet.Only then I will be able to marry Khushi.
Geet felt upset.Maan walked away with Khushi.
Geet's tear drops rolled down her cheeks.
She said in her mind watching Maan go with Khushi:How could the people I loved the most betray me?How could they?One my husband with whom I shared everything and the other one who was with me through out my life.
Arnav-Geet went to the textile shop for wedding shopping.Arnav picked up a nice shervani.
Khushi selected a Lehenga for the Mehendi function.She went to the dressing room and wore it for trial.She heard the footsteps outside the changing room.She assumed it to be Maan's.
She opened the door:Maanji,how is it?
She was shocked to see Arnav.
K:ASR!
Arnav was also shocked to see her.
K:Khushi!
A:Sorry,I came searching for Geet.We have come for wedding shopping.
His eyes rolled over her.She became conscious.Her heart beat fast.
Dhak Dhak Dhak Dhak...
A:Khushi,you look pretty as usual.You are always the best at picking up clothes.Any ways Ok...bye...
K:Bye...
Khushi turned back and shed tears.
She thought:We dreamt of shopping together for our wedding.We are at the same place for our wedding shopping,but not together,with different partners.
Why did Geet di snatch ASR from me?Maanji was such a loving husband.Still...Because of her I lost ASR.
Arnav watched it from outside.
He felt sad.
Her tears were dipping down.
He thought:Khushi...what should I understand from your tears?
Why did you break my heart?Tell me...I can't bear this..you are going to be some one else's bride.Oh!So painful.How will I tolerate this?
Kyun Khwabon Pe Tere Saaye Hai,
Dil Kyun Hai Tanha Mera,
Kyun Khamoshi Hai Zubaan pe meri,
Ashkon se keh paun na,
Kyun Dard Hai Itnaaa,
Tere Ishq Main,
Rabba Ve Rabba Ve
Rabba Ve Rabba ve.
Geet was searching for Arnav.While walking fast she bumped into Maan.They both were shocked to see each other.
M:Sorry.
G:Sorry.Why are you here?
M:Came with Khushi for our wedding shopping.Dadimaa has decided to conduct our wedding soon.
Her heart was pricked.She thought:Though I hate Maan,why do I feel pain when I heard about his wedding with Khushi?
She tried to walk away.But her leg sprained.
G:Ahhh...
She was not able to walk even a step forward.Unexpectedly he carried her in his arms.
M:I will take you to Arnav since your leg is sprained.
She did'nt resist.They kept looking at each other while he walked.
Mahi...mahi...
Arnav came that way and was shocked to see the sight.
M:Sorry,Geet's leg got sprained.She can't walk.So I thought that I will carry her to you.
Arnav carried Geet in his arms and walked away.Geet looked at Maan.He was burning with jealousy.Khushi who had come back was also jealous seeing Arnav carry Geet in his arms.
