GH-Unconscious Kushi on the bed. Payal says, " Kushi open your eyes." Shyam goes to get a Doctor.
RM- ASR walks in. Nani- "Chote, where were you?". He stops exasperated. Di- "Chote?" He holds out his hand to stop her from saying anymore and she sees his wound. She jumps to her mother role and calls for the first aid kit while he tells her "it is only a scratch. I am going to my room , I want to be alone."
Oh, no, dear ASR, that tiny wound has left you deeply scarred.
Nani is adamant to find out where he abruptly left to and continues with her badgering. "You've gone to meet HER! " Nani, if I wanted to meet Lavanya, I would." But he didn't want to, he wanted to save Kushi! " I had an emergency and I left."
GH- Shyam pulling the Doctor out of the clinic to see Kushi and he is threatening him. Do you think this Shyam guy cares about her?
RM- ASR in his room. He looks besides himself. He looks at the wound'which has deeply scarred him. He relives the scenes of the guesthouse incident'.holding her wrists, moving the hair from her face, wiping the lone tear from her eye'
It gets the best of him. He sinks onto the bed. He can't stop looking at the small wound on his hand, the reminder of what he has done. He touches the wound, just maybe he will feel her. He has been deeply scarred in his heart.
GH- The doctor has treated Kushi and Shyam asks his forgiveness, saying he was very worried. Buaji hears this and it registers in her head'hmmm'.maybe'..
RM- Chote comes to Nani. Nani beckoned him and asks him questions, which he says he doesn't want to talk about. Anjali shakes her head pleading to Nani not to push him. Anjali knows her brother well. Nani reminds him that she is his grandmother and not his enemy. She knows what is best for him and this family. ASR retorts with, "But, some decisions good or bad, are taken by the person himself, because hasty decisions never end well." He is not just talking about this situation but the decision he had made to send Kushi to the guesthouse. Di interjects and he turns around saying,"Di, please, I don't want to talk about Kushi at this point!"
OOPS! Everyone is shocked to hear her name! First slip, he realizes what he did! He purses his lips, he rolls his eyes back and forth, thinking why did I do that. "I mean Lavanya." A fast recovery.
GH- Scene: ASR is pushing Kushi's hair behind her ear. Payal: "Kushi?" She wakes startled..."NEH!" Payal:"Kushi?!" She holds her head, dazed. Shyam asks if she is ok. She is holding her head, dazed still. Buaji asks her if she hurt her head? Kushi turns to Payal and ask how did she get there. She doesn't remember anything! (She wishes!) Payal, "HE brought you home". Kushi relives the guesthouse incident, still holding her head and we see her getting visibly upset, I thought she didn't remember. She looks at her wrist and becomes even more distressed. Payal takes note and asks her did he misbehave with you? Kushi shakes her head, NO. Payal relieved. "It's not that."She tells the story'.
"When she went to the office he was very angry with me. He sent me to the guesthouse which was under construction, the roof was about to collapse and I was all alone in building and couldn't get out. There was no one to hear me. I was very frightened'"
Kushi has been deeply scarred.
Buaji, like a prizefighter motions like she will beat up ASR. "How dare he torture you? I will teach him a lesson he will never forget Is he human or a demon/ Rakshaas!" Payal says he's an idiot! LOL
Shyam insists she should quit this job. Why would she want to work for a person like him. "Am I right, Kushiji?"
Her face saddens, she is in deep thought. Although she has been scarred deeply, there is something...'something... about what he just said doesn't feel right.
RM- The discussion continues among the Raizada's. "This is not so simple. You can't leave the family for the sake of love. I wanted you to be more responsible. I hope you understand what I am telling you."
Open the door of the past'
"Your parents.."
Chote- "Nani, please, I don't want to talk about it."
Nani-" I know you and Anjali don't like me to talk about it but you can't hide the truth. LOVE IS DESTRUCTION." Mami rolls her eyes; is Nani talking about her? Maybe, but not right now, there is something else. "He ruined a wedding, a family and took someone else's life."
ASR responds," I don't believe in love. I know what I am doing. What you call love has no place in my life. I say this because I don't trust anyone but me!"
Nani- "Chote, easy for you to say but I knew you would choose the wrong girl but I won't let that happen. You will do as I say. Break up with that girl. That's it!!!"
ASR is going to leave a scar on Nani next.
ASR-" I am telling you something you are not going to want to hear. I will not part with Lavanya nor will I marry her because I don't believe in marriage. I want to live my life according to my terms, my own rules."
OUCH that hurt.
He leaves. Everyone in shock.
ASR room- He is reminiscing, ( I am not sure this is the right word), about Kushi'her in the rain, her in the red saree, the wrist incident, laying her on the bed, Buaji tending to her wounded wrist '. He slams the closet door. It's just too much. Scars run deep.
Anjali comes and interrupts him and his pity party and deep feelings of guilt. "Chote?" He quickly responds with, "Di, I am not hungry, leave me alone." She says how can she leave him alone? She knows he is worried and she knows who he is thinking about. ASR-"Di, I do not think of Kushi." OOPS, again he slips. He turns his back to her. His face and eyes show he is wondering whether he has given himself away. Has he betrayed himself. Di shocked, "Kushi? I was thinking Lavanya. What happened to Kushi, Chote? Are you going to tell me? Okay you are stubborn. You won't tell your sister, nor eat." Loving his sister like he does, he turns back, grabs the food and sits on the bed and starts eating. She asks to feed him and he hands over the dish to her. (This is a beautiful example of the mighty ASR surrendering, as Chote, to his sister, whom he loves and trusts.) "Since you are eating now tell me what happened". He still is staring. He looks like such a damaged little boy. A man who has been scarred for life, it seems from his past and his present. "Are the vegetables made well?" He says, "yes". "Then for their sake of them, tell me what happened. Don't you trust me?" She places her hand on his shoulder; almost sensing her support, that little scarred boy turns and looks at his sister.
GH- Kushi is having a nightmare of the incident. She wakes and looks at her wrist. That certainly is going to leave a scar if it hasn't already!
GH- living room, Payal, Shyam and Buaji. Buaji worried about her livewire who has become complacent and dull. Bang! Clang! The sound is coming from inside the kitchen perhaps? They all go in to see'...to be cont'd
Get the bandaids!

The entire episode was truly MAGICAL! And yes, from this point forward every time he hurt Khushi, his heart hurts ten thousand times more! This is really the first episode where ASR became Arnav displaying such tenderness and wonderment toward Khushi! With her state of unconscious, Arnav was able to come out of his shell with just this vulnerable man completely in awe of this beauty! His world will never be the same again! Both have left a permanent mark on each other! 
He was completely breathtaking in the entire epi so I sympathize with your dilemma regarding which frames to include! 
I couldn't take my eyes off of him! Bravo to the entire cast, crew, director, cvs, cinematography, etc...
