Khushi had finally returned to the Gupta's with Buaji there awaited her mother and father. Buaji filled them in, everyone except Khushi's father had told her off. "You have brought shame onto our family", they said. "We didn't bring you up like this", they cried.
Khushi did not defend herself. On she and Arnav knew the full story and she wasn't about to ruin her true love's image by telling everyone the truth. Khushi remained quiet and walked off to her room.
Arnav was confronted by his Dadi and Nani, they both wanted to know how he could live with Khushi without having a proper marriage with all the rituals included. They kept giving him ammunition, Anjali and Mamiji both had joined in. "ENOUGH!" shouted Arnav, "in the eyes of the law me and Khushi are married and not that it concerns any of you, me and Khushi have not yet started living like a fully married couple. We took it in turns to sleep on the recliner" he muttered. Everyone looked confused, Arnav looked up at Akash and NK who obviously knew what he meant.
"Omg Nanav, you didn't have a Suhaag Raat?!", cried NK. Arnav merely looked at him and had walked off, his silence had answered all questions.
"I know Khushi, she's a decent girl" said Nani, "she would never commit a sin but we still don't know why these two rushed to get married" she continued. Dadi was furious, she too wanted to know the reason behind this marriage.
Arnav had retired to his room, he was expecting to find Khushi there when he had finally remembered that she was taken against her will to the Gupta house. Arnav searched for his phone, "hello khushi?". "Arnav ji I knew you would call" said Khushi, "I was so worried, Dadi must be angry with us both". "Khushi, forget Dadi and my family. What did you parents and Buaji say? Did they lay a finger on you" he asked, clenching his fists. "No Arnav ji, they just shouted at me anyway forget it, that's in the past" replied Khushi.
"Okay fine. By the way Khushi, do you miss me?" asked Arnav with a cheeky grin on his face. "Miss you? Why?! All this time I wanted to get away from you, remember?!" replied Khushi. Arnav knew what she was upto "yeah ofcouse that's why you ran back to me and said you loved me, remember??!".
Khushi did not know what to say, she remained quiet. "What's wrong khushi, cat got your tongue?" laughed Arnav. "Okay it's late, go to sleep. I'm sleepy" replied Khushi angrily and she put the phone down.
"What the.. how dare she put the phone down on me" laughed Arnav, "well Mrs Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, you will soon get your punishment when you're back in my arms".
There was a knock on Arnavs door. He wondered who could it be. He walked up to the door only to find that it was Payal. "Payal, you?!" He asked. "Arnav ji can I come in? I need to talk to you. It can't wait until tomorrow" she said. "Yeah, ofcouse come in" replied Arnav.
"Arnav ji, I love my sister a lot. And she's always faced a lot of grief by both our families including me but today I need answers. I want to know why you rushed to marry Khushi? And I'm not leaving without any answers" she said. "Payal I think we should talk once khushi is back" replied Arnav, avoiding her gaze. "Like I said, I'm not leaving without any answers" repeated Payal.
Arnav had never seen his sister in law in this light. He didn't know what to do. Lie through his teeth or be honest with her, before he could continue she said "I'd like for you to be honest with me". It's as if she was psychic and knew his thoughts. He gestured her to sit down on the recliner while he sat on the bed.
"Payal, about 6 months ago I saw Khushi and shyaam on the roof. I misunderstood the whole situation and thought she was having an affair with Shyaam." Arnav could see the disgusted look on Payal's face yet he continued, he told her about the contract marriage and how he wished to make Khushi's life a living nightmare. He finished by telling Payal how much he loves khushi, and how he could turn back time and undo all his mistakes so that he could give khushi the happiness that she deserves.
Payal remained quiet, she smiled. "Arnav ji, I know how much you love Khushi and I also know that she loves you back. You made a mistake, fair enough but khushi has sacrificed so much for us. I also know how much she means you, it was more evident the day that you stood up for her against Dadi. Even today, against Buaji. But whatever you do, trust Khushi and love her with all your heart" and she walked out the room, justified with Arnavs honesty.
Arnav was shocked at Payals reaction, she did not shout nor shout however her words had an effect on him.
He ran downstairs and before he was out the house he saw NK standing before him with food in his hand. "Nanav meri bhai, where are you off to? Hmmm??!!" he asked. "NK, I have some work to do so" before Arnav could continue, NK said "I know you're going to Khushi jis house. Don't worry Nanav, I will cover for you in the morning" and he winked. Arnav gave him a smile which gestured his appreciation.
Arnav drove all the way to the Gupta house however he decide to park his car elsewhere. He walked towards the house, he saw Khushi's windows were open, she was not asleep. She was talking to herself, with her hand on her heart. Arnav knew that khushi could feel his presence and he walked up towards her window. "Khushi" he whispered. "What the.. I'm hearing his voice how? Oh DM please save me" she cried.
Arnav could not help but laugh, khushi turned around to see him outside. "Youuu!" She shouted. "Khushi shhh be quiet or else everyone will wake up! Now open your front door and let me in!" He whispered. "No! You should go back home!" Said khushi. "You want me to go back home? This late at night? What if I get kidnapped?" Arnav said. He knew the emotional blackmail card would work with Khushi and before he could say anything else she ran and opened the door.
The two star crossed lovers snuck back to Khushis room. They locked the door and Arnav moved in for a hug. "Arnav ji, why did you come here. It's late. You shouldn't be driving at this time" said khushi hugging him back. "Khushi you know that I cant keep away from you. I had to come. I was missing you" and he cupped her face.
He was slowly moving in for a kiss. The distance between them was decreasing. He tilted his head, so did khushi and finally after so many months they were about to have the moment that they've been waiting for until.. "KHUSHI!! REMEMBER TO CLOSE YOUR BEDROOM WINDOW!" shouted Buaji.
Both khushi and arnav couldn't help but laugh. "Khushi I think this is a sign. We shouldn't do anything until after we're properly married" smiled arnav. Khushi nodded her head in agreement.
The two decided to go to bed inside, between them was a pillow which khushi had placed so that Arnav did not do anything silly during the night.
The two slept, holding each other's hands.
Little did they know that in a few days time, Shyaam would be back with a vengeance.
Khushi did not defend herself. On she and Arnav knew the full story and she wasn't about to ruin her true love's image by telling everyone the truth. Khushi remained quiet and walked off to her room.
