Anjali says, "Thank Devi Maiyaa! You came back!" Shyam holds Anjali affectionately as she turns around to go upstairs, Anjali notices Arnav. She goes, puts her head on his shoulder.. Arnav says nothing' his face stays sharp.. Anjali cups his face and says, "Thank You! ..for giving me my husband back! You don't know what you have given to me! You have given me my life back, Chhotey!" Arnav gives a sharp look to Shyam, Shyam looks at Arnav with moist red eyes.. Arnav's gaze returns to Anjali. Everyone else watches them, some with moist eyes, Dadi with happiness, others apprehensively. Shyam says, "Come, Rani Sahiba!" takes Anjali with him upstairs. Everyone follows them upstairs. Arnav's rage filled gaze follows Shyam till he gets out of site.His face shows disapproval, dislike and anger clearly. As if nothing big has happened, Khushi goes, "Arnav ji'. I'." Arnav says nothing, grabs Khushi by her hand and takes her upstairs with him.
In Anjali's room, everyone helps Anjali get settled in the bed. Shyam sits by her side. Mami says, "Anjali, at least now have something to eat!" Anjali puts her hand on Shyam's shoulder and says with a smile, "Yes, Mami ji! Whatever you want to feed me.. medication.. food.. I will have it all!" Mami and Nani exchange apprehensive glaces, Dadi looks at them with pride.. Anjali holds Shyam's hand,.. Shyam reciprocates the gesture with affectionate, teary eyes'
Arnav drags Khushi in the room, as soon as they enter the room, he swings Khushi around to face him and asks with clenched teeth, in a raged voice, "How dare you bring that man in this house! How dare you?" Khushi does not realize what she has done to Arnav, she goes, "Arnav ji.. I.." Arnav interrupts her, says in a hurt voice, his eyes full of hurt and some disbelief, "Khushi, I would have tolerated it had someone else done it' but you? You know that I hate that man tremendously!" Anger evident in his eyes and on his face now.. Khushi says, "I know, Arnav ji! I tried to call you.. but I did not get through.." Arnav says, "You did not get through.. So, you decided on your own!" Khushi goes, "Only for di.." "She is my Di!" Arnav says reminds Khushi, "I can make decisions for her!" "Arnav ji, believe me! Whatever I did was meant to be good for Di!" Khushi says. Arnav says with clenched teeth, "I know very well what is good for Di!.. Shyam's presence is not bad only just for this house but it's the worst thing in her life! As long as Shyam is around her, Di will never get better." Khushi yells back, "Di will get better!.. And she will get better only if her husband is with her." Khushi completely misses Arnav's point. She goes on without any realization of what harm she might have caused, "Probably you failed to see, Arnav ji! Di could not even move before he came! Everyone in the family was thinking that something may go wrong with her.." "So, you went and brought him home!" Arnav says as his rage mounts. Khushi looks at him as if he is the one making big deal out of it! Arnav goes in a hurt voice, with suppressed rage, "In my house! 'despite my warning that whoever brings him in this house will be my biggest enemy?" looks Khushi in the eye.. Khushi still fails to see his point, says with welled up eyes, "Don't say that, Arnav ji! I only.. about Di.." Arnav lifts his hand, "Enough, Khushi!" looks down and closes his eyes with deep hurt.. Khushi just looks at his hand.. with surprise.. with shock.. still unaware of the hurt or damage she caused.. Arnav looks at her.. his face depicts deep hurt.. his eyes lusterless.. he says in a heavy voice, as his hurt reflects through his words, "I always knew it! Never ever allow anyone to be so close to you' 'cause.. these same people then hurt you the worst!" His hurt reflects through his eyes.. Khushi's mind wraps around his words only.. she takes a step forward, says, "Arnav ji, don't say that!" "It's my fault.. that I allowed you to get so close to me!.. that's why you crossed the limit today!... you broke my trust.. !" Arnav's eyes well up. Khushi's eyes fill to the brim.. she still does not understand his point. She says, "I never thought that you would think this way!" She asks him almost with a challenge in her voice, "I did? I broke your trust? .. . Did you not see how Di was? The happiness that reflected on her face after seeing her husband.. did you not see that?.. If I did not bring Shyam ji here today, then probably Di would not have been with us!" Arnav cannot believe that she still fails to see his point.. rather does not try to understand what he tried to say' he clenches his teeth and takes couple of steps forward in rage.. Khushi looks at him with fearful eyes.. Arnav controls himself, with clenched teeth, he says in a low voice, "Just leave!" When Khushi tries to reach for his shoulder, he turns away and says, "Khushi, go away from here!" she looks at him' few tears trickle down her face.. Arnav looks away from her.. his face sharp' when she does not move, Arnav loses it, shouts, "I said, go!" that startles Khushi.. it's been a while since Arnav had shouted at her this way. She looks at him with shocked eyes.. Arnav stands with his gaze averted.. his body stiff.. his jaw firm.. his face sharp. His fist tight.. Khushi looks at him with hurt eyes.. tears trickle down her face freely.. she keeps looking at his face as her feet slowly move towards the door.. as soon as Khushi steps out of the door, Arnav closes the door behind her. Khushi looks back.. her tears flow freely.. Arnav hurts inside, Khushi .. outside.. Arnav's nostrils flare up as his eyes well up.. Khushi touches the door gently before she leaves.. 
Anjali sits on the bed surrounded by everyone. Shyam feeds her soup. Happiness overflows from Dadi's eyes.. Everyone else watches apprehensively.. Aakash hands Anjali's meds to Shyam. Anjali swallows her pills without any drama.. But now Shyam starts his melodrama.. he holds Anjali's hand into his hands, gently rubs on her hand affectionately and then looks at everyone, "I did not come here just to see Rani Sahiba.. but, also to ask for all your forgiveness!" Nani, Mami, NK, Aakash, Payal.. all show disapproval on their faces.. Obviously no one believes him.. Nk cannot take it anymore, "Jiju, please!" he raises his hand to say 'Stop!" Shyam, Anjali, Dadi look at him shocked as he says with anguish, "Leave all this asking for forgiveness and all.. aside, please!.. with pretense.. you.." "Nand Kishore!" Dadi interrupts in a harsh tone.. , "will you keep quiet?" No one likes that.. Nani, Aakash, Mami, Payal' NK they all leave the room. Dadi follows them. As they step out in the corridor, Dadi says to Nani, "For the first time.. that girl.. Khushi.. did something sensible!" Then she complains, "When I said the same thing, no one took it seriously!" Just then Shyam comes out of the room. As everyone looks at him he says in a low, worried voice, "I must talk with Saale Sahab! I will have to help him understand what the reality is!" Nani makes a face.. that shows that she does not believe in or approve of it. Dadi shows her admiration for Shyam, "good! At least someone is acting responsible in these circumstances!" Dadi rolls her eyes, almost says, "Unbelivable!" .. Mami looks at Aakash.. rolls her eyes.. Loved Loved Loved the way whole Raizada family showed their disapproval for Dadi's words through their eyes..
Shyam's eyes search for Arnav before they find and settle him.. Arnav stands up with rage.. His cols stare stweadies on Shyam's face as he says, "saale sahib.. I .. to you.. some.. " Arnav tries to control his anger as Shyam walks in with a mellow face, "Saale Sahab' I came to 'thank' you and ask for your forgiveness!" As Arnav's piercing gaze scrutinizes Shyam's face, he says, "I want to thank you for letting me come back to Shantivan!" Shyam keeps taking slow steps forward towards Arnav as he continues to speak with Arnav's piercing gaze steady on his face, "Saale Sahab, I ask for your forgiveness for whatever happened between us!" He rubs it in, it works.. Arnav's rage mounts as Shyam pushes, "I agree that much.. much has gone wrong between us.. and mind you, most of it is just misunderstanding! .. But Saale Sahab! For last four years we have had a good relationship! .. So, why can't we start afresh and forget the last one year?" Shyam knows pretty well that his words are working to irk Arnav further.. he gives the fine blow, "As far as regarding my return.. please, don't blame Khushi ji!.. She just'" This.. Arnav cannot take! Shyam now crosses the limit as far as Arnav is concerned. He swiftly moves forward, grabs Shyam by his neck and pushes him backwards till he becomes flushed against the wall! Then Arnav looks at him with warning in his eyes, in a stern voice says, "Beware! Dare not bring her name on your lips!.. Don't even try.." he pushes on Shyam's neck so hard that he almost chokes.. OK, Arnav, I would like to see you control your anger before you start getting physical with someone..unless necessary.. don't behave like other low moral people do.. You should never be called a murderer or someone who attempted to kill someone!
As Shyam struggles to hold Arnav's hands and save himself from choking, Arnav warns him, "If ever again I see tears in my Di's eyes. I won't spare you!" He clenches his teeth and stares Shyam in the face.. his gaze sharp and penetrating. Shyam starts to cough.. real or pretend.. but Arnav lets him go.. takes his hands off, releases him. As Shyam starts moving towards the door, Arnav warns him, "Don't think that you are back in Shativan for good! It's because of Di's ill health that I allowed you in.. as soon as Di gets better.. I will throw you out of here!" Shaym leaves with a mellow face.. Arnav turns around.. Once Arnav has his back towards Shyam, Shyam looks back at Arnav with eyes full of revenge.. a broad, evil smile spreads across his face..
Late that night' Khushi sits in front of Devi Maiyya in her room. Tears trickle down her face.. Arnav lays in his bed.. restless.. hurt.. unable to fall asleep' Both their minds mull over the painful, heart breaking conversation they had earlier today. Hurt deep in the heart. Tired minds due to non stop thinking and worrying.. both of them hurt away from each other' Khushi cries in front of Devi Maiyya.. Arnav's eyes well up as he realizes how harshly he yelled at Khushi..
Anjali tries to reach for the jar of sugar in the kitchen when Shyam's hand suddenly grabs the jar.. he and Anjali smile at each other as he hands the jar to her. Shyam asks Anjali with a lot of concern in his voice, "Rani Sahia! Why are you doing all this?.. You have not yet completely recovered.. and.. " Anjali grabs the jar from his hands and says, "I am fine!" walks up to the gas stove, "That's why I am making 'kheer'.. rice pudding for you!" As the dish cooks, Anjali takes out a biot of the pudding in asmall bowl, asks Shyam to taste it.. Shyam plays the games really well.. he says with few frown on his forehead, "It's not sweet enough!" Anjali goes to add more sugar to the pudding when Shyam says flirtatiously, "Oh... No need to add more sugar.. Just touch it with your hands and it will be fine!" This brings smile to Anjali's face, says"You knowhow happy I am upon your return?" and hugs him. Shyam says, "Rani Sahiba, I am happy to be here.. more than even you! But.. something is bothering me! I feel bad when I think about Saale Sahab and Khushi ji. Dadi said that he has not spoken to anyone.. or has eaten anything..! He is still upset with me.. I can't blame him! . I must talk with him.. After all, I want everything to be fine, the way it used to be earlier!.. and . for this, I have a very good idea, Rani Sahiba!" "Really?" asks Anjali with high hopes.. "Yes!" nods Shyam.
Arnav tries to work on his laptop' but his heart is restless.. he cannot concentrate on his work' he gets up.. paces restlessly in the room.. finally he takes out his cell phone.. dials Khushi's number.. Khushi makes Jalebis at Buaji.. her stress buster.. when she hears her phone ring. She picks the phone.. a smile brightens her face as she sees it's Arnav's! She is about to answer the phone when she starts thinking.. then she gets upset.. angry.. and shuts the phone off.. that surprises Arnav. He tries to call her again.. she hangs up on him.. with anger.. "What the!" exclaims Arnav.. Khushi shoves the phone among the vegetables as her anger mounts. Arnav thinks for a moment.. then throws his phone on the chaise .. and leaves the room.. The way he walks.. the way he throws the cell phone.. ASR is back in his true essence! The way his heart struggles'. Only if Khushi could see him like this.. she would melt right away..
Downstairs.. as Nani ji, Dadi ji and NK walk into to house.. they are surprised to see the house being decorated.. Manorama walks in eating her apple.. she looks around with surprise too.. Aakash and Payal also come downstairs.. Mami wonders, "Hello Hi Bya Bye! What's going on here? Marriage.. is still.. " Jus then walk in Shyam and Anjali.. Shyam says to one of the worker, "What are you doing? Do it properly.." Everyone looks at them with question filled eyes.. Anjali walks supported by Shyam.. says with a chirpy smile, "Whether you all come or not.. we are going!.. there's a wedding to do!" Everyone has disbelief in their eyes.. Anjali steps forward.. says, "I know.. we had a huge mishap.. but.. how long can we lament about bygones?" Everyone looks at Anjali with surprise, as she continues, "We must move ahead.. " Shyam steps forward.. hold Anjali by her shoulders.. says, "Rani Sahiba, I did all of this just for you! Now.. how long can we mull over bygones.. we cannot spoil the future for the past!" Anjali smiles.. Nani's face depicts anger.. she knows his deceptive self.. but Dadi falls for it! She says with pride, "It's not even a day since Damad ji has arrived.. but look at this! He has changed the whole atmosphere of the house!" Shyam gives a smile... while he thinks, "What can I tell you, Dadi ji! This is exactly what I wanted! .. I will make a place for myself in all your hearts again!" Then he says loudly, "Come on! There is so much more to do.. !" Nani still does not buy into his pretense.
"No need!" comes Arnav's voice.. everyone turns around.. Arnav stands on the landing.. he says with a determined face, in a firm voice, 'Out!".. as Anjali and Shyam look at each other, Arnav demands, "I want all the workers out of the house within a minute, understand?" Everyone looks at each other, confused.. Anjali asks, "But, Chhotey!. At least listen to me.." Arnav interrupts, "Di, please!" Dadi immediately jumps in, "Arnav!" Now Arnav Singh Raizada takes the control of the situation, "Stop it!" he says to Dadi. Arnav turns to the worker behind him and says, "I said that you all must leave!" Everyone looks at him stunned.. Arnav Singh Raizada stands tall, determined.. firm.. confident.. a sharp challenging gaze blazes through his eyes..
How I love this Arnav Singh Raizada! It's the tiger! Fierce.. brainiac.. sharp' knows what he is doing! He was fooled enough.. not anymore! The blaze in his eyes.. ahhh'.Essentially he said to Dadi and his Di, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"
