I Am Guilty Of You - Ehsaan Tera Hoga : Pg 80 - Page 47

Just when Arnav realized how much pain and hurt he had caused his beloved Khushi and despite all of that she had only showered her love and are on him, his heart filled with repentance and he could not wait to accept his mistakes in front of Khushi.. no matter what time of the day or night it was..

Arnav parks the car in front of Buaji's house...He walks up the stairs and about to ring the door bell when his hand stops... He pulls out his phone and about to ring when he thinks, "I cannot disturb Khushi's family at this hour just because I want to meet with her... He is about to leave when a breeze comes.. the same one that tells him Khushi is close by... indeed.. Khushi stands at the window.. deep in her thoughts... when she hears her phone vibrate.. she goes and picks up the phone.. it's Aranv.. she answers while takes slow steps towards the window.. Arnav's soft voice says, "You haven't slept yet.?" "You yourself are still awake, " answers Khushi. "You look very nice in white... and with your hair loose even better..." Arnav's heart finally says it! "Really? You called this late at night just to say this?.." Khushi says .. but within a fraction of second something occurs to her, "Just a minute! How do you know what I am wearing.. and that my hair is loose.. " As Khushi talks Aranv appears behind her with his cell to his ear.. he walks close to Khushi and whispers in her ear, "I tend to know everything about you!" Surprised Khushi turns around and finds Aranv staring her in face, but stumbles as usual .. Arnav's strong arms catch her.. as she hangs on to him with both her hands around his neck... they get lost in each others eyes for a few moments.. Khushi's angelic face mesmerizes Aranv.. his eyes sip in her beauty as his passionate gaze caresses her face with love..his love filled tender heart reflects from his eyes.. Khushi's face.. still with some surprise.. she cannot help but get drowned in those passionate eyes.. Finally she comes back to reality.. pulls herself away from him and whispers, "You..! What are you doing here?" In a sincere voice Arnav says, "Khushi, I have come to have a serious talk with you.. "

Most Tender Moment of Repentance: Arnav holds Khushi's hand and leads her to the bed.. they both sit down on the edge of the bed.. Arnav looks Khushi into the eye and says in soft voice, "Khushi, do you remember the first time we met? I had locked you inside a room! .. and did not allow you to go for Payal's wedding... Because of me.. Payal's marital alliance broke.. . I also let you fall down from upstairs straight down in the office! ... I made your life miserable onwards.. .. After that I harbored a misunderstanding that you had an affair with Shyam... and I married you! " "You.." Khushi tries to stop him, but Aranv makes a gesture to let him talk... continues in a soft, heavy voice drenched in emotions.. , "You tried to tell me many times that there was nothing between you and Shyam but did not listen.. You tried so hard at the airport but I did not give in... Regardless of all this.. you risked your life to save me!" Khushi asks in a soft voice and heavy heart, "But.. Aranv ji. Why are you saying all this to me now?... why do we need to recall the bygones..?" "It's necessary, Khushi, because I want to say something to you! " His gaze stays on Khushi's face.. her eyes locked into his.. he gently places his hand on Khushi's.. hold it in his hand and wraps his other hand around and over it.. he slowly stands up holding her hand wrapped into his.. says in a soft, heavy voice, his eyes moist.. his face soft.. his eyes gentle...and sincere, "I am really sorry, Khushi! .. I probably don't even know how many times I might have hurt you.. for every single time.. I'm sorry!" .. Khushi looks into his eye.. stands up slowly. Her hand still into Arnav's ..She lets go of his hand and cups his face ever so gently.. her eyes well up.. her voice heavy with emotions and soft.. she says, "You don't need to say any of this! .. because I know, .. that you love me very much!.. Damn it!" Arnav's eyes well up.. his face relaxes.. Not just Aranv.. even my heart felt the peace.. the sukoon.. the relief.. his finally at peace! A soft smile flickers on his lips through his tear filled eyes.. .. they both hug each other.. both the hearts that have suffered for each other and because of each other.. finally come to peace,,.. beat in unison,. As they both derive comfort and solace from each other...A smile finally breaks on both their lips as they tighten their embrace ...

At RM: Nani ji and Dadi .. in Nani's room.. work on the 'sahagun' prepapartaion.. when Dadi says, "Devyani, Aranv still wants to marry that girl... even after I said that her Buaji's misbehaved with me...she insulted me and my whole family... Does Arnav have no self respect? .. and that girl, Khushi.. what kind of upbringing she has had!" "Enough!" interrupts Nani, " Enough ot it, Sumi! How much do you know Khushi dear yet? .. She is such a sweetheart! You don't know but she has done so much for this family.. and she does everything with care and understanding.. so much of it that sometimes wonder how does she understand this much at this young age.. Coming to her upbringing..since you want to know, let me enlighten you.. .. " Nani continues in a soft, gentle voice, "Buaji.. talks a bit loud.. but is very clean hearted.. and.. Khushi's parents.. Shashi ji and Garima... what should I say about them! You will find out when you meet with them what great values they have imbibed in Khushi darling!" Dadi's eyes already have apprehension set in.. she asks, "What name did you say?" "Shashi ji..".. "Anr mother's name?" Dadi seems more concerned regarding the mother.. "Garima.." Nani ji answers with pleasant face.. Dadi immediately stands up.. clouds in her eyes thicken.. She takes few steps forward, says in a apprehensive tone, "Garima... This name.." she becomes obviously restless... Worried.. Nani ji gets up, walks up to her and says in friendly tone, "Yes, this is Khushi's mother's name... What's the matter? Do you know her?" Dadi ji acts mysterious... says in a low thick voice, face still restless.. , "I will have to think..." And leaves...

In the middle of the night... Garima stands in front of the Gods..Extremely worried, troubled... her voice cracks qas she confides in God, "O God, those folks will be coming tomorrow with the 'shagun'.. and me.. .. I don't know what I should do! .. We married one daughter in that house.. and Khushi... my younger child.. getting remarried to Arnav ... Going to the same house... and me! Me.. ! How can I let this happen?" Obviously Garima harbors a deep dark secret from Arnav's past... if not him, at least his Grandmother and his family... "I don't know anything.. I don't understand. Who should I tell this to? I just don't know.." Garima breaks down in tears... A comforting hand sits on her shoulder.. it's Buaji.. concerned she says, "Garima, what are doing in this dark?" Buaji switches the lights on.. Garima grabs this opportunity to wipe her tears off.. Garima averts Buaji's gaze.. Buaji senses that something is wrong, she tries, "Garima, what's the matter dear?" "Nothing.,. just not able to fall asleep.." Garima avoids answering the question...In a mellow voice Buaji says, "Oh My Lord... you are still thinking about the non sense Arnav's grandmother spilled.." places a comforting hand on her arm and says, "Don't worry, by God's grace, everything will be alright!"

Just then they hear the sound of a car's ignition start and hear the car drive away..worried Garima says, "Who is it?.. Jiji.. who... " Buaji's eyes twinkle... with a mischievous smile she says, "It's not only you.. there is someone else who cannot fall asleep.." and she makes a gesture.. indicates that she follows her.. brings her to the door of Khushi's room... Stands in front of her with both her hands on her hips.. Khushi, who just steps out of the room, says, "Buaji... Amma..." Buaji puts her hand on Khushi's shoulder affectionately and says in an affectionate voice, with a little tease mixed, "We know... who came over.." Khushi becomes shy... blushes.. walks away with a sweet smile on her face... Buaji's affectionate gaze follows her.. Garima still worried..

Late at night in RM: NK yawns., fights to stay awake as he sits and waits with Anjali...in the lounging area... Anjali's eager. Affectionate.. mischievous gaze awaits... For someone.. NK taps her on shoulder, says, "Di! It's too late.. you should sleep now.." Excited Anjali says, "No, NK Bhai! I don't want to miss out on such a great opportunity!" her eyes still looking out for someone.. NK yawns some more as he responds, ". Ahh.. OK.."





Just then opens the door and Aranv enters.. Anjali shakes NK awake and gestures that Arnav has arrived.. NK quickly gathers himself... Both keep staring at him while he walks in unaware of their presence in the lounging area... Anjali hits NK few times playfully indicating that he should do something.. NK finally blurts out, "Stop!" That stops Aranv in his path,...As Anjali and NK rush to him, not knowing what to expect, Aranv says, "What the..!" Anjali walks over and says, "What the! This is what I wanted to say too!" Anjali says with a stern face,.. Aranv frowns.. not knowing what to say.. Anjali then breaks in a pleasant smile and says mischievously, "Where did you go this late at night, Chhotey?" Nk attacks with his jacket on his back and with an attitude, "Who did you meet with?" Aranv gives him 'the' look... Anjali smiles mischievously.. NK pushes it, demands, "Tell us! Tell us!" Anjali makes a cute eye gesture and then with innocent eyes asks, "May be you.. you did not go to see Khushi ji, right?" her eyes and face regain the mischief! Arnav is about to say something when NK chimes in, " Yes or No? Come on, tell us fast!" Arnav being Arnav he says, "Yes.. then?" Anjali's jaw drops open at his attitude, but Nk takes over, demands, "Hello.. mister! .. Weare asking 'jawaab'.. .. you should give the "sawaal".." NK says in his broken Hindi..Aranv catches Anjali making a gesture that says, "You messed up!" to NK.. he looks at Nk and says in a soft voice, "Other way around..Say it the other way around!" Anjali suppresses her laugh. "Other way around..?.. Why?" asks NK.. Without getting angry, Aranv explains, "Jawaab is answer and Sawaal means question!" A pleasant smile flickers on Arnav's lips.. his face relaxed.. happy. Anjali smiles as NK responds in a playful fashion, "Correct!.. Correct!.. You have become very smart, OK?.. so then, tell us.. why are you smiling so much?" Anjali's mischievous gaze has the same question... "Say something.. talk!" NK says.. Anjali affectionately touches Aranv's face and says in a soft, affectionate voice, "Because.. my Chhotey is in love! " Aranv rolls his eyes.. NK puts his jhand on his heart... Anjali continues in playful and affectionate fashion, "OK, you can deny all you want!.. But, do you know, Chhotey, love brings changes.. " Aranv thinks to himself.. NK cannot control his sleep anymore, "Ok, Nannav mere Bhai.. now you've changed.. so, I will go upstairs and change.. then I will go to bed...I am not able to fall asleep, you know..!" he does not catch Aranv and Anjali's smiles.. he hugs Anjali and says, "Good Night, Di!.Love you.. Good Ningt, Nannav, Mere Bhai.. " He turns to leave but then stops, turns around agagin and says with style, "And one more thing.. ".. cracks the joke in Hindi.. , "What is tru.. ;'such'.. is what a 'mooch' .. moustache is!" and leaves.. This cracks Aranv up.. he bursts in a pleasant smile and says, "What's wrong with him?.. Suc hai.. mooch hai.. like really?" He smiles and Anjali laughs.. Her laugh quickly turns into a coughing bout.. worries Aranv, "Di, are you OK?"





He walks her to her room.. her bed.. gets her settles in the bed.. her cough persists. She gestures at the drawers, "Chhotey!" Aranv opens the drawer, pulls out some medications.. he notices a different medication bottle.. his flag goes up, he holds it upright and asks Anjali, "Di, what is this?".. "Chhotey, doctor has asked me to take it. It's something preventive.." Then she again bursts into a bout of cough.. worried Arnav sits down, grabs the glass of water, hands the medication to Anjali and says, "Di, why are you exerting so much? ... and why are you up so late?" "It's alright, Chhotey!" Anjali takes the meds and swallows the pills down with water.,. Worried Aranv observes her.. then this little brother says, "Di, you can tease me all you want... " brings a smile to Anjali's face.. he continues, "There are so many rituals of marriage.. You must take care of yourself.. otherwise I won't do any of this!" he threatens.. Anjali says, "OK, dear! I will take care.." "And remember to take your meds too!" Aranv reminds her.. Anjali puffs her cheeks and says, "No, I won't do that! " and smiles at Aranv.. Aranv smiles back.. both of them know that Anjali counts on him to remind her of her meds.. Aranv's affectionate smile killed me!

He tucks Anjali in the bed before saying goodnight to her.. He leaves the room, pulls the door closed behind him when he catches Nani's aggravated voice..

"Sumi, what does it mean that you left my room with such an anger and returned in anger?" Arnav runs upstairs... Dadi paces in the room as Nani says, "What;'s the matter, Sumi? Why do you look so upset?" Dadi answers in a harsh voice and in a harsh tone, "I am upset because my grandson is getting married to a wrong girl!.. And Aranv does not care about me at all! He does not even know who her parents are! Since I have come here, they haven't showed up to meet with me even once!.. And what amazes me is that we will be bringing 'shagun' to them tomorrow.. when I don't even know who her mother is!.. How can we bring 'shagun' under such circumstances?" Dadi throws her dice! Arnav walks in and asks confidently, "Why? What's the problem now, Dadi? Why can't we bring the 'shagun?" Nani immediately moves to make peace, says, "You stay calm, Chhotey!" Aranv talks straight, "Nani, I will stay calm if Dadi stays calm!" He asks aggressively, "What is your complaint now? .. that Buaji did not talk to you appropriately?. . that;'s because you said inappropriate stuff about Khushi... and Buaji loves Khushi very much.. so obviously she would defend her!" Dadi walks over and asks retorts in a harsh tone, "And the history of their family,.. does it not matter?.. Who her parents are.. and why have they not shown up[ to meet me yet?" Aranv tells her off in straightforward words, "Her dad has suffered a paralytic attack and he is on a wheel chair, OK?" Dadi gets really furious and aggressive, clenches on her teeth as she asks, "And what about her mother? Why have yet not been able to meet with Garima?" Arnav can now read through Dadi's thoughts.. he says, "OK! So, that's what the problem is!.. Alright! Let go meet with her right now!" Aranv proposes. As he starts walking away, Nani calls, "Chhotey, what are you saying?" Aranv calmly answers, "Yes, Nani! Dadi wants to find,... and count... faults in Khushi and her family,.. in everything!.. But.. I won't allow that to happen.. . If Dadi feels that Aunty has not yet met with her then I shall do just that!.. I will be back with my car keys! We will go right now to meet with her!" "Let's go! I am ready!.. I will be relieved once I meet with her mother!" Dadi fires back. "Sumi, " Nani tries to talk sense into Dadi.. but Dadi leaves..

"What?.. Now?" Khushi says surprised.. Picking up his car keys Aranv says on his phone, "Yes, Khushi! Dadi wants to meet with Aunty.. She keeps finding faults after faults .. so I got angry.. I said we will go now!" Loved Loved Loved how he confided in Khushi!~ "Arnav ji, how can you do this?" Khushi says worried. "I said it, so be it! OK?.. We are coming!.. I can't tolerate it that Dadi keeps pointing finger at you and your family.. over and over.." then he takes a dep breath, controls his emotions and says in a gentler voice, "I mean.. don't worry, Khushi! I will be there and I will take care of everything!.. Right? OK..." he hangs up. Khushi hesitantly looks up at Garima working in the kitchen.. walks up to her.. says hesitantly, "Amma.. it's that... Dadi ji is coming to see you!..." "What?" Garima ends up knocking down the jar from the counter in her bewilderment..Khushi picks the jar up, says with hesitation, "Yes, Aranv ji called.. said that she wanted to meet with you...that's why, I mean.. he coming here now.." "What...?" Garima snatches the jar out of Khushi's hands and says, "Now?.. At this time?" she obviously is very disturbed.. Khushi asks concerned, "What happened, Amma? Are you alright?" Garima controls herself, says in a slightly controlled voice, "I.. I am fine!" Buaji hurries in, "What's the matter, Nand Kisore..?" To Buaji's surprise, Khushi says, " dadiji wants to meet with Amma-Babuji. So those people are coming over!" Bauji smacks herself in her head, says, ":Now? At this time? At eleven in night?.. what?.. coming to see Shashi and Garima?.. Has she gone insane with her age?" Then she notices Garima's disturbed face, asks, "What's the matter, Garima?" Scared she says, 'Jiji, I cannot meet with her!.. I mean.. it's too late.. can't meet with her at this time.. " Khushi says, "Amma, let it be.. " and leaves.. Bauji comforts Garima, "Why do you worry so much? I know that Arnav's Grandmother is quite scary.. .. but you don't need to worry at all.. because. Arnav is coming with her, right? He will handle everything by God!" her face is relieved at the thought.. but Garima still looks scared.. disturbed..

As Arnav and Dadi walk down the stairs, Dadi says, "Your anger stops your thinking, but today, what happened, happened for the best! Now I can at least meet with her mother. Do you know that I don't know anything about your wife?" Aranv answers calmly, "I know everything that is necessary, Dadi. I know about Khushi and that's what is important for me." Then he stops, stands face to face with dadi, looks her into the eye and calmly tells her, "I love Khushi and I know everything about her family." "Really?" Dadi asks sarcastically. "Khushi is an orphan, just like me. Garima aunty is Payal's mom. Shashi uncle married her long time ago. Payal is their real daughter. When Khushi's parents met with a car accident... they adopted Khushi then.. and thus, Khushi was raised and brought up by her Aunt and Uncle." Somehow a relief appears in Dadi's eyes... Her face slightly relaxes, she asks, "Is this the final story?" Dadi, this is not a story.. it's reality!" Dadi's eyes narrow.. she starts thinking.. deep in her thoughts, her cunning mind starts weaving the tangled web of unknown...

Arnav Singh Raizada is a man of his own will.. true to himself, whatever he does, he does not seek anyone's permission nor does he wait to declare his love...The same man who had so much trouble saying "Sorry" to Khushi for the first time one year ago, today comes in the middle of night.. as soon as he realizes his mistakes... To admit those, accept the responsibility and apologize.. not once but for each single time he hurt her... This is what sets Arnav Singh Raizada aside.. makes him a very special person... A man can take initiative in business.. in love... in anger... in dissolution... but to accept one's mistake and take responsibility... and apologize on the top... Khushi indeed is a very special person.. she has brought out the gem in Arnav Singh Raizada! This unpolished diamond of hers is shining better and better each day...

Khushi, the good hearted person.. finally has recognized the deep rooted love of Aranv Singh Raizada.. for her.. and the Khushi that Aranv Singh Raizada has shaped up to be.. she has learnt not to delay declaring her love for him either.. It has granted immense solace to Arnav's bruised heart to know that Khushi knows well that he loves her tremendously.. Their first hug ever.. initiated simultaneously by both of them and completed by both of them at the same time.. finally their hearts can heave a sigh of relief.. because their hearts now know and it has been endorsed verbally by both, in front of each other.. that they beat for each other... Their eyes can dream.. their lips can smiles.. their hearts can yearn... and minds immerse in each others thoughts...

Dadi ji has discovered the surprise missing loop in the story... related to the past of Khushi.. or is it more related top Arnav's past?.. or better yet.. to Dadi's past itself?

Dadi shall leave no stone unturned to stop Arnav's marriage to Khushi... Whatever agenda she has, has to do with her own past.. as she does not seem to care about Aranv's happiness.. Anjali's happiness.. forget about Nani ji..

Nani ji is the most wise person in the Raizada clan.. she holds her head on her shoulders really strong... level headed that she is.. I loved the way she stood up in defense of Khushi and her family.. Unlike Manorama... this is where she proves why she has the ability to be the main pillar of support in the family.. she is fair.. can look beyond people's narrow minds.. and had courage to stand up for the right... The day Manorama develops these qualities, she will rightfully be the daughter-in-law of this royal clan.. till then.. she merely carries the aura of a common woman's mentality... Nothing wrong with that, but one cannot carry the clan's responsibility with such a narrow point of view..

Buaji.. she is the counterpart of Buaji.. but for the differences that Nani pointed out herself.. A loud mouth, clean hearted, protector and soft hearted.. at the same time.. Buaji stands for all those good willed people who may say things in a fit of anger but are so clean hearted that once they spill it , it is out of their system... Arnav has recognized her well.. and has appropriately defended her...

Garima... Harbors a big secret.. she seems to know much more about Arnav's dadi and definitely does not seem to be in favor of her.. How dangerous is this secret to Aranv and Khushi's presence.. only DM knows... Garima does not seem to take it well,.. thus it bothers me the most.. I don't think I can go to bed with peace anymore..
