[Khushi instantly awakes from the sound of Buaji's roars]
Khushi: What is it B-..., [Looks at her clock] Hai Devi Maiyan! Is that the time [Khushi frantically prepares herself for work] You're such an idiot Khushi Kumari Gupta. This is like what, the billionth time you're late to work and that Laad Governor will surely rip your head off today.

Garima: Look Jiji, sleeping beauty has finally come down.
Khushi: Amma, blame that Khadoos for giving me ridiculous amounts of work to do in the night. He did this on purpose to further torture me.
Garima: Oh dear. Do you want to keep your job?
Khushi: Haan , why?
Garima: Well instead of moaning and groaning at us, get your butt back to work. Otherwise you'll have no job to go to tommorow.
Khushi: Oh yes! Sorry. [She rapidly scoffed bits of breakfast in her mouth and headed to work]

[ Work]
Khushi: Rhea, where is sir? I've looked everywhere, I need to know where the Singh's files are kept. [She managed to ask her colleague whilst she regained her breath back from the amount of olympic style running she'd done]
Rhea: Oh gosh! Do you not know what date it is today?
Khushi: Er.. no.. not.. really.
Rhea: As an employee at AR you should know these crucial dates, Khushi.
Khushi: I've only been working here for 2 months, so you going to tell me or...
Rhea: It's the death anniversary of ASR's wife Lavanya Kashyap. [She snapped, leaving a gobsmacked Khushi] ASR never comes to work on this day.
Khushi: What? ASR is..was married?! This is unbelievable. How did his wife.. you know?
Rhea: ...die? Nobody really knows exactly why she died except for ASR. Ask him if you dare...
Khushi: But wasn't her death investigated? What if... what if he murdered her?
Rhea: [Laughs] Please, ASR is everything but a murderer. All I know is that she committed suicide. Only ASR knows the REASON to why she did.
Khushi: The poor girl probably couldn't tolerate spending her whole life with him.
Rhea: Hmm... Maybe.
Khushi: Oh well, at least I've got myself a day off then.
Rhea: I don't think so missy!
Khushi: What now?!
Rhea: You'll have to deliver these designs to ASR's home.
Khushi: You just said that he doesn't work today. [She wanted to avoid his face where possible]
Rhea: It's an order from ASR so obey it if you still want your job here.
[Annoyed, Khushi accepted the order and went off in a sulk. She hated that ego head, Arnav Singh Raizada, especially after what he did with her sister Payal...]

Anjali: Chote.
[ He placed his watering can down and turned to face his sister]
Arnav: What, Di? If it's another life lecture then I do not want to hear it.
Anjali: No, no life lecture. I just wanted to see if you were okay.
Anjali: Why? Why are you so afraid to talk about Lavanya? [She cupped his face in her hands and wiped his small trail of tears away] Vent your feelings out to me Chote, you know I'll always be there for you and Aryaan.
Arnav: She died because of ME, Di. [He said in an almost whisper] I didn't love her, I couldn't love her. Unfortunately, I'm turning out to be exactly like him, aren't I Di?
Anjali: Eh,you're nothing like our 'father'. Don't you ever think that! You may not have loved but you definitely supported her and you sure as hell do a good job as a father. That's why, for the sake of Aryaan you have to move on...

[Raizada mansion]
Khushi: Laad Governor. He couldn't order one of his many servants to get his designs delivered. [She muttered in her own thoughts]
Om Prakash: Andar Aaaye, Khushiji! I'll call Arnav Baba down.
Khushi: Thank you.[She smiled as OP scurried to find his boss. The house seemed to be unusually quiet today. Khushi sat herself down in the empty living room, waiting until she heard a sound of a child whining]
Aryaan: *Waaah, waaah*
Khushi: [She had managed to track down the crying culprit] Hey little man, why are you crying?
Aryaan: [Immediately stopped crying as soon as he saw the weird stranger]
Khushi: What's up?! I can help you, you know.
Aryaan: My aeropwane is... is.. stuck in da tree. [He blurted still fascinated over this stranger]
Aryaan: Fanks, I like you. [He squeezed Khushi into a tight hug]
Khushi: [Giggles] It's okay buddy. Do you live nextdoor?! [ Khushi asked, last time she was at RM there were no children mentioned or present]
Ayaan: No this my big house.
Khushi: Really? Where's your mummy? [Upset that he had no answer to this question, Aryaan exploded into tears]
Aryaan: DADDY!...
**
Arnav: If only I could go back and rectify my actions then I would. Atleast then she'd still be here.
Anjali: We can't live life with regrets. The best thing you can do is learn from your mistakes and..
Ayaan: DADDDY! [Ayaan cried, interrupting the two siblings, deep conversation.]
Arnav: [ ASR rushed over to his world] What's wrong, A?
Aryaan: Why... why... don't I have a Mummy? [Aryaan sobbed]
Arnav: [ This was the question he had always dreaded. Aryaan asking about his Mum] A, stop crying. Big boys don't cry remember. [It was no use, Aryaan had the Mother topic on his mind] You do have a.. you..
Khushi: Oh there you are little boy. [Khushi happily sighed until she realised t she had in fact entered ASR's garden. With a fuming ASR, crying Aryaan and a confused Anjali staring at her]
Aryaan: [Tugs onto his Dad's sleeve] Daddy she's the stranger who asked about my mummy.Tell her who my Mum is Dad. Tell her that she's in heaven.
Khushi: Arnav Sir... Anjaliji..mein.. mein voh [As ASR brutally glared at her, Khushi trembled with fear. She medalled with a wrong kid.]
Anjali: Arre, Khushiji. How are you? Take a seat.
Arnav: No Di, she will not take a seat in MY garden. Especially as she just made my son cry.
Khushi: I didn't make him cry!
Anjali: Chote, stop being so rude to Khushiji
Arnav: She's the one being rude entering my house without my consent.
Khushi: Actually Sir, you're the one who has instructed me to come.
Anjali: Arre, please, both of you don't argue, especially in front of Aryaan.
Arnav: Di, take Aryaan inside then.
Anjali: But Chote..
Arnav: Di
Anjali: Fine but leave Khushiji alone Chote. [She huffed, took aryaan into her arms and gave Khushi a sympathetic glance]
Arnav: How dare you invade into my house and then have the nerve to mess around with my son? [ASR growled, grabbing onto her slender arms tightly]
[She sarcastically waved, leaving a frustrated Arnav]

[Back at the Gupta Household]
Khushi: You'll never guess what Jiji, LG had a wife and they have a cute but evil son called Aryaan.
Payal: I knew that. Aryaan would have had a little brother/sister.
Khushi: Jiji, I'm sorry but I promise you, he'll pay for what his done..
