It has been a few days now since holi and Khushi has vivid thoughts of what might have taken place at the poolside. Arnav is avoiding Khushi... by the time she wakes up in the morning, he has already left the room. They are rarely alone and she always comes back in the room after she thinks he has gone to sleep.

Anjali has been really happy for the last few days because of this new change she has noticed in Arnav but she sensed that there was some tension or something going on between khushi and arnav...they seem to be avoiding each other. She was wondering why, maybe chote told khushi off for making him drink bhang, "oh my brother, he is in love but still doesn't know how to treat his wife... i know my Chote, expressing his emotions is hard for him, I think I will have to speak to Khushi."
She had so much to share with her bhabhi. She was shocked and angry at Chote for the quick marriage but now she is the happiest and luckiest sister in the world. Khushi is the best girl for my chote, Anjali thought and headed to Arnav's room.
Khushi was sitting by the dresser looking at the red bangles Arnav had given to her (the kangan were sitting next to the bangles) and trying to recollect those tender moments they shared just a few days ago. 'He did not want to let go of my hand...he did not want me to leave his sight...then why is he not speaking to me, why is he avoiding me??' Khushi thought, she wanted those moments to come back, she wanted him to hold her hand again, she wanted to look into those eyes...
"Khushiji, oh I mean Bhabhi" Anjali interrupted Khushi's thoughts, she was standing at the door.
"Oh Di, come in" Khushi looked up "do you need something?"
"No, I wanted to talk to you..."
"Umm talk to me" 'what did Di want to talk to me about' Khushi thought a chill went down her spine. Khushi stood up.
Anjali came in and sat on the bed and gestured to khushi to sit next to her.
"Yes, I have been meaning to speak to you about something very important, something very close to my heart..." Anjali said, her voice was cracking and she had tears in her eyes.
