Khushi sat infront of Aliya as both the sisters chatted, Aliya offered Khushi some papaya to eat but Khushi denied it.
"Papaya is not good for the baby, it can even kill it.." Khushi bit her lip making Aliya gasp.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know. Why will a girl like me know all this.. I've never been pregnant, never been married." Aliya spoke sadly.
"You should get married Aliya, you are just 25 now. You will get so many men who'd love to marry you." Khushi said smilingly.
"But the man I love, won't marry me..I know.." Aliya trailed off. "I want ASR."
The moment Aliya said this, Khushi's heart sunk.
"Oh.. well.. he... he's hurt, by you." Khushi shook her head.
"I know! But everyone deserves a second chance, right?" Aliya asked.
Khushi didn't know what to say anymore so she just got up and drank some water.
"I will go now, Tara must be home from school. Take care Aliya." Khushi said before Aliya waved at her...

Khushi was walking on the pavement, looking for a taxi while her mind was filled with the thoughts of what Aliya said. Tears flooded her eyes, gosh these pregnancy hormones drove her crazy and made her too emotional.
Her head felt dizzy as the flaming sun was above her head and she fell on the road, unconscious.

When Khushi's eyes opened she found herself laying into a white bed. She found Arnav sitting beside her laying body in the hospital and there was so much anger on his face.
"KHUSHI! Why did you leave the house?! I got a call from someone that you fainted... on the road!" he cupped her cheek and she tiredly looked around before he bought an ice-cold drink for her and made her drink it.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left without telling you that I'm going to Aliya-"
"Aliya? Why did you have to meet her? Dammit Khushi! Stay away from her! Aliya always talks shit about you.. don't you remember how she told you you're not beautiful anymore? What kind of a sister says that? She's a bitch." Arnav's anger was skyrocketing and Khushi held his hand, telling him to calm down. He leaned towards her and lifted her kameez, kissing her stomach.
"Baby, you're okay right.." Arnav spoke softly to her pregnant stomach making Khushi smile a bit.
Arnav sighed and looked up at her. "It's actually my fault.." his voice broke. "I should stay with you when you're already sick since morning cos you didn't get sleep because I got drink last night. I should have stayed with you, but I was at the office, attending some damned meeting."
"It's not your fault, it's okay-" Khushi tried to comfort him but he guiltily looked at her before leaving the place to let her rest...
