OS: He knew her so well, he understood her

Khushi just looked at him, his worried gaze meeting her teary eyes. She then remembered who she was in front of; she was in front of a very protective brother, a brother who could do anything for his sister and his sister's happiness. How could she tell him about her betrayal, about her dilemma which was directly linked with his sister? He would be heartbroken and wouldn't even b in a state to believe her..

ASR knew that he had hit the spot on due to Khushi's silence

ASR: Khushi, what did he do?? What??? Tell me. Did he try to hurt you??

Khushi: Arnavji, still in tears.. the only thing I can tell you is he has given all of us a very big dhoka, he has betrayed and lied to all of us. Being married and...

Arnav: WHAT THE???? HOW DARE HE??? Being married and he still got engaged to y..y..you.. L et me sort him out..How dare he even think of doing this to you Khushi??? Well, Now he'll have to face the wrath of Arnav Singh Raizada

Khushi: No, Arnavji please.. this is my problem.. you don't need to get involved..it will only make things more complicated..please.. I'm really sorry for pouring out my pain and all my problems on you.. I'm..I'm leaving Arnavji..I'm going to leave for Lucknow right away..I'm leaving..thats the only option..it'l b better for everyone..

Arnav: Khushi, what do you mean thats the only option?? Dont tell me your going to just give up and not fight back.. That person needs to be behind bars Khushi. We cant let him just get away. I will show him that he can't play around with people who mean everything to m.. family.

Khushi: Thats the very reason I'm leaving Arnavji..family..Please don't ask me any more questions on this as ..as I can't tell you..and even if I do nobody will believe me and everything will be ruined..everything (Khushi keeps crying through out this whole conversation)

ASR: Khushi, what are you saying? I cant understand..what do you mean everything will be ruined, and family? The whole family will be more than relieved to have that person behind bars. Who wouldn't want him to b punished for such an evil doing.. And I've already believed you haven't I?? Why are you so worried Khushi?? I'm with you on this and we'll make sure that man is penalized for such an unforgivable doing.

Khushi: Arnav ji thank you for all you have said, I cant thank you enough.. but I'm on this on my own.. I don't want anyone to be involved, I cant just have anyone being involved, it'll just spoil everything..Please..Let me just go

Arnav: Khushi.. why don't you want me to help you.. Dont I mean anything to you?? Is is because of our past differences that you don't want me helping??

Khushi: No Arnavji, you mean everything to me..that is exactly y I don't want you to get involved.. You still don't know half of everything.. If you did, I don't know if you would really be standing by my side right now..I don't know if anyone would stand by my side..

She had said it, she had said that he meant everything to her

Arnav: I..I mean everything?? That y don't you tell me everything Khushi DAMMIT

I cant have anyone hurting you, I can't bear to see the tears in your eyes.. I just can't see you in pain Khushi..

Khushi: Bye Arnavji..

Arnav: Khushi, No.. you cant leave.. I WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE DAMMIT

She just runs down the stairs wanting to leave before anyone else see's her, stops her..

When running down she bumps into Anjali

Arnav comes running down after her

Anjali see's Khushi's tear stricken face and gets worried and asks her

Anjali: Whats wrong Khushiji?? Why are you crying??

She sees ASR behind her..

Oh Chote must have told you something.. Chote y do you keep scolding people??

Khushi: No..no Anjali ji, (trying to control her emotions) I might have caught a slight cold, so too many sneezes made my face red and my eyes watery

Anjali: Oh, you must be careful Khushiji, do take some medicines..We need you in very good health, especially with the 2 engagements coming up

Just the word engagement made Khushi lose control of her emotions again and her eyes started welling up and her heartbeats started increasing

But Anjali was to busy looking at her husband, wanting to introduce him to Khushi that she did not realize the change in Khushi's face

Anjali: Khushiji, today I finally get to introduce you to my husband

Khushi could not take this anymore..How could she stand right infront of the person who was responsible for all her pain, her misery

She barely put her hands in a Namaste and said it sofly, her eyes dodging his face.. She did not say anything after that.. After the greeting she tuned her face slightly away and tried to cover the new tear droplets forming in her Eyes

Arnav during this whole time was trying to analyze her face..trying to figure out what was going on

Shyam: (after many seconds): also lifted his hands and uncomfortably greeted her..N..n..namaste (he too did not look directly into Khushi's eyes)

Arnav noticed this..usually he knew his jijaji was a very jolly person and was not really that shy so why was he..and why was he stammering? Something was really wrong..Could it mean when Khushi said family, nobody believing her..Could it mean that..Jijaji..No it wasn't possible, how could it be?? But everything was pointing in that direction.. His jijaji wasn't that kind of a person, I mean how could he be??? He had to find out, he would find out everything.. He remembered that his jijaji had never been present in any encounters with the guptas and.. Khushi's fiance's name was Shyam too..no ..no.. how could this be happening..was it true??

Anjali was too busy clinging onto her dear husband and singing his praises to notice anything with Khushi

Khushi: Hum, I need to rush home Anjaliji, Babuji needs me..

Anjali: Okay Khushiji, but aleast you met my husband today..I hope everything is okay at home, ur Babuji's health

Khushi flinched at the word 'husband'

Arnav noticed that

Khushi: yes, It was time I met your husband, Mr.Shyam Jha (stressing on the word husband)

Arnav noticed that too, and this time was looking at his jijaji while Khushi was speaking.. He noticed that nervousness was clearly visible on his face and his hands were also wobbly..And Shyam wasn't looking at Khushi, instead he was facing down at his shoes

Arnav purposely asked his jijaji a question: Jijaji, why are you so shy today infront of Khushiji??

Shyam: Saale sahib, (any person smart enough would be able to make out the nervousness in his voice)..w.why would I be Shy??

Arnav saw Khushi's eyes turn into a glare at Shyam

He was partially sure about his doubts a few minutes ago about his jijaji, although before any action could be taken he needed to confirm everything with Khushi.. He was fuming from inside, his anger building up

How could his jijaji, do this?? Do this to di.. his di,.. to Khushi.. His Khushi

He would not spare this person, even if it was his Jijaji.. He would never spare him

Khushi turning away to leave,

Arnav: Khushi, wait I'll drop you.. I have to visit a client near you house anyways so..

Khushi tried to attempted at saying no to the lift..but she was broken physically as well as mentally so all she managed was to just nod..

There was a painful silence in the car, the only noise was that of Khushi sobbing

Arnav wanted to make sure that they were a well difference away from the Raizada house and in a quiet place before he could question her, ask her, and more importantly comfort her..

Arnav: (stopping the car)Khushi, I need to know.. Is it..Is it my Jijaji who is responsible for all of this??? Please say no, please.. Even if it is, you can trust me to believe you.. He put a hand on her head and said, Whatever it is I will support you.. that is my promise

Khushi: just looked into his eyes wondering how he knew her so well, her eyes filling with tears again..But..but h..how..how..did u..u ( She couldn't complete the qn)

Arnav could see how this was affecting her and he knew the truth.. But how could Jijaji...He too was shattered at hearing the truth

He just embraced her and tried to comfort her, not wanting her to know how broken he too was from inside..He could just not break down as he had to punish the man responsible for ruining the lives of people who were most important to him..his Di & Khushi
