Discussion

Khushi – I know you won't like eating with employees.... I am good (She smiles fearfully as she remembers the day when he had said that...Arnav gulps his uneasiness, but he continues to eat as she got it exclusively for him)

Arnav – What is that you want to discuss?

Khushi – I want to leave the job...

Arnav – What nonsense.... you agreed to stay till Di's delivery right? (He was angry)

Khushi – I am feeling sick very often nowadays.... I myself need a help so I can't continue concentrating on this job....Not good for Anjali Ji also, right? (Arnav washes his hand and gets up) why are you leaving food...you did not like?

Arnav – I can't eat food when I hear lies....

Khushi – I am not lying....

Arnav – Oh really? And you want me to believe? You think I am fool? Look I am sorry for yesterday, I shouldn't have come in to your room like that. I dint intend to intrude your privacy

Khushi – Arnav Ji please... accept this, I am unable to continue....

Arnav – I won't agree Khushi.... (Khushi silently started crying as she knows his attitude. He won't be convinced...she starts cleaning his plate in the sink...he comes and hold her shoulder softly, but she shivers and gets back. She did not want to be touched) what happened? You can share it with me.

Khushi – Shyam Ji feels that we both have affair....

Arnav – What?

Khushi – He said I come to you room every night to lure you... (She narrates Shyam's comments and his behaviour in room) I wouldn't say all this, but I am feeling suffocated (She had clear pain in her eyes, he knew convincing her now will make her more adamant. He controls his rage as he was helpless for now)

Arnav – Ok...I see your point.... but there is Akash's engagement tomorrow...can you give me sometime.... once I deal with few things I will relieve you...will you be, ok? (Khushi wipes her tears and nods ok...she collects everything arranges in bag to leave...Arnav extends a card) That's my personal number only for family and friends you can call me when you feel insecure.... (She takes the card. He wanted her to feel safe somehow) don't worry Khushi, till you are in our house you are my responsibility...

Khushi – Thanks... (She leaves.... Arnav just managed to dodge this for now, but he wanted her to be in the house till he finds out the complete truth about their marriage and about Shyam's intentions in doing such atrocity with his wife)

EVENING

Khushi felt better after speaking to Arnav. His assurance made her feel little stronger. She is happily arranging for engagement of Akash. Arnav has ensured Shyam to be away from home all day. Arnav comes back to home and Akash is running away from Khushi...

Akash – No Khushi ji...I am not going to match my kerchief with Payal's dress...it looks funny....

Khushi – Uffo.... Akash Ji...you see this once...it will look so nice.....(Akash looks at his brother)

Akash – Bhai you please tell this Di and Khushi Ji... they will make me look like joker (Everyone are sitting around now and Arnav joins.

Anjali – Chote...you see this (They show is pretty kerchief embroidered by Khushi) Khushi has done it herself to match with Payal's dress and this Akash is acting pricy...please chote, convince him (pokes Khushi to request Arnav)

Khushi – Han han...please Arnav ji....I have done this even with this wrist pain (makes puppy face...) and Akash ji is not even bothered.

Arnav – Hmm. This is really pretty...if you ladies don't mind let me wear it.... even Jaet Ji can match with Payal. What say? (he winks)

Akash – Bhai you can't do this to me...

Arnav – Akash this looks really classy and it's so sober...what's your problem......??(Akash whispers something) Hmm... I will take care of it...you take it now.... (Akash takes it and Khushi is happy...Anjali also smiles) ok let me go now ... I am tired.... HP...please get me some coffee....(He walks off)

ARNAV'S ROOM

Khushi gets snacks and coffee. Arnav comes out of bathroom after freshening up and change of clothes.

Arnav – Khushi, you need not do all this. Such things make people like Shyam to consider you as servant. You please take care of Di and her needs, that's more than enough.

Khushi – I will keep this in mind. Now you please have it, (hesitantly) you dint have lunch properly in anger. I prepared it, to thank you for making me feel better.

Arnav – That's nice... (he tastes it) ... good Khushi I badly needed something to eat...this is so relishing (he is enjoying...she leaves from there happily...After a while he gets a message from his wife....he reads it with smile)

You know you were right. I told about that bad Person to my Owner. He is so supportive... I felt so secured when he said I am his responsibility. He is very sweet person. I had misjudged him initially.... don't know why his stupid wife doesn't stay with him...if I get her ...I will tell her if you don't want such a nice husband, you give me....

Arnav laughs at her comment and replies cautiously to know her view about him after yesterday's incident.

Why did you misjudge him? Did he do anything wrong? And why are you wishing him to be you husband? Are you falling for him?

He gets sudden reply.

I was just excited. Husbands can't be given and taken right? But I am sure he would best husband anyone could get....

Arnav replies

Don't make excuses. I shared my guard's number you never appreciated.

Khushi responds

You gave your guard's number; but he shared his personal number. That's the difference. whenever I see him, I feel like he is the dream boy of my childhood. But my actual husband doesn't even bother. why should I appreciate you? You, doing something to me is your duty. Him doing, it is different.

Arnav reconfirms her.

I think you are falling for him.... or should I say already fell for him.

Khushi clarifies.

No .... I shouldn't even think of such things ...he is married....

He tries coxing her to accept her liking towards him.

But you do like him, don't you?

Khushi – You are my husband...what kind of a question is this? I shouldn't be eyeing any other man...

Arnav – Relax...we decided to not continue with our relation...so its ok.... you are not a saint....one or the other day you must move on...what if he is the guy.... I don't mind. I will call up and explain him.

Khushi – No...I shouldn't aim for sky......he sympathises me.... I am glad that I met a person like him...I can never dream something like that with him.... he is way above my reach...leave it...bye for now I have lot of work to do...

Arnav (To himself) – So you are falling for me and unable to accept? Khushi, I won't let you down.... just give me some more time...I am feeling guilty that I am playing with you after knowing things...but revealing things now will create a dangerous situation. Please hold on to this for some more time.... I won't disappoint you. I can't put you any danger

FUNCTION DAY

Arnav wears his Sherwani and comes down; his pocket is empty. Anjali observes him.

Anjali – Chotte...you own a fashion house, and you have empty pocket...

Arnav – Di...I dint get anything matching.... (Khushi was passing by)

Anjali – Khushi Ji...you did matching work for this Sherwani as trial before Akash's right...get it to chote..

Khushi nods and rushes to her room. Arnav felt like having his first husband moment with his wife...he follows her...Khushi hasn't noticed him following so she carefully takes that piece out feels it with love...smiles....and turns back with excitement and turn bumping to him. He holds her looking in the eyes and smirks. She struggles at their closeness and moves away wiping tears.

Arnav – Why are you crying??.... If you like it so much (takes a pause) leave it Khushi... I am fine without it as well...

Khushi – Its...not like that (She gulps as he gets closer) and you please don't scare me like this by coming close or speaking suddenly (She stammers)

Arnav – I just came to take this (he slowly takes the kerchief from her shivering hands brushing them deliberately...folds it on the wrong sides looking at her...keeps it in the pocket. Khushi gets back to her normal self, looking at him folding wrong way)

Khushi – Arnav Ji.... (she plucks it and folds it properly and keeps in his pocket) ...it should be like this she is admiring him... (she pats on his chest.... he coughs)
