She couldn't believe what she heard few minutes back from her Arnav ji. She felt a dull ache in her heart, knowing that her Arnav ji thinks so low about her. She felt her head spinning. She slid down the floor closing her eyes, losing her conscious. After sometime like few hours, she woke up from her unconscious state and looked around to see the bright light, the Sun causing on above her head. She looked at herself and confused seeing her fully wet and lying on floor. She quickly stood up to feel her head spinning and legs trembled. She quickly held the parapet wall to balance herself. She slowly walked her home, wondering why she is feeling this much weak.

***************

"Look who came... the que..." buaji about to say something but stopped seeing Khushi's state. She immediately rushed to her "Titaliya... are you okay?" worry is clear in her voice

"Yes, buaji... I'm fine, don't worry... it's just I didn't eat the breakfast so feeling weak" Khushi said searching for the person she wants to see.

"Unbelievable... go, freshen up and come I'm setting the table. We will have our lunch" she sent Khushi inside.

******************

Throughout lunch she looked at the person, who blamed her without her mistake. Seeing his indifference, her eyes teared up and tears rolled down her cheeks without her notice.

"Khushi... why are you crying?" her mother's panic voice disturbed her thoughts.

"May be this is her another prank to stay here Aunty... don't worry about her. I will deal" Arnav's words pierced Khushi's heart more.

Taking his words as a tease, both Garima and Buaji smiled and continued having their lunch.

******************

After bidding bye to Gupta's both Arnav and Khushi made their way to RM. The journey was silent. They didn't even say a single word. Now, they are sitting in the living room along with everyone. Arnav looked like killing someone after hearing Shyam's saying he missed Khushi. Arnav looked at Khushi to see her expression for that comment. But when he saw her lost in her thoughts and felt something wrong. But he brushed that thought

"How are your parents and Buaji, Khushi ji?" Anjali asked

"Khushi..." Payal shook Khushi to bring her from her thoughts.

Khushi looked around her, getting same question again from Anjali, she felt emotional and need to be with her family. Suddenly she felt out of place and a stranger. She slowly stood up "I am feeling tired. I need to rest" said in common and stepped forward listening to Arnav's loud voice

"Stop there" Khushi closed her eyes, controlling her tears.

"What's wrong Chote?" asked Nani

"How dare she go without answering Di?" Arnav's frustrated.

"Stop it Chote... can't you see how tired she is looking?" said Anjali

"She didn't do anything to get tired, Di. If she tired also, she doesn't have any right to go like that. She should answer every one of this family" Arnav is not ready to let her go like that. Everyone looked at Khushi slightly swaying on steps. Akash, who is near her held her tightly in place

"Are you okay Khushi ji?"

She nodded her head and stepped forward towards her room making Arnav boil in anger. after answering his family's questions Arnav rushed towards his room and looked at his wife sleeping. He gritted his teeth not able to wake her up and shout on her. He felt more betrayed than before, feeling his love towards her one more time.

****************

Everyone sat in dining hall, thinking about Khushi. She didn't come down for dinner saying she is not feeling like having. This is not like her. After thinking much, they concluded like she might missing her family. So, they left her to take her time.

****************

Arnav opened the door when he heard the knock. He saw worried Payal at the door

"What's wrong Payal?"

"Is Khushi okay? She didn't come down yet" she voiced her worry

"She is still sleeping. If you want, you can wake her up" with that he made his way going to his cupboard. Payal slowly entered the room and tried to wake Khushi up

"Jeeji... I'm not feeling well; can I sleep for some more time?" Khushi's voice come low. Both Arnav and Payal looked at her with confused eyes.

"Sure, Khushi... come down when you can" saying that Payal kissed her and went out. Arnav can see the tears rolling down Khushi's cheeks.

"Stop your drama and get out of bed. No one is going to work as your slave, just get out of this room as soon as you can" Arnav said in his harsh tone and left for work.

******************

Khushi came downstairs to have her dinner. It's almost a week Arnav left to London, not listening to her or giving her chance to prove her innocence. Everyone noticed her aloofness and lost charm. They thought Arnav's absence is reason. They didn't push her much about that. After finishing their dinner, everyone except Payal and Khushi sat in living room silently thinking about Khushi. Suddenly they heard Payal calling Khushi loud. Everyone looked at dining hall and rushed there seeing Khushi on the floor. Akash quickly took her in his arms and rushed out to take her to hospital while Shyam drove the car.

*****************

Anjali and Akash are trying to call Arnav on his mobile continuously. They stopped calling when they saw doctor coming out from room.

"Doctor, how is Khushi Betiya?" Nani is worried

"Sorry ma'am... we can't say anything till she comes to conscious"

"What does that mean? She is just unconscious because of her weakness, isn't she?" asked Akash with a thudding heart

"Weakness? Who said heart-attack is weakness?" doctor asked shocking everyone

"What are you talking about Doctor? Heart-attack? That too Khushi ji? She is just 20 years" asked shyam

"Heart-attack can occur to anyone. She is in depression and she is looking much hurt. May be she faced a shock. By the way... when did she get her first attack?" doctor asked casually noting something on the patient-case-sheet leaving everyone in shock

"Doctor, are you sure you are talking about Khushi Singh Raizada?" Anjali asked hoping no as answer.

"Of course I'm talking about Khushi Singh Raizada, the girl whom you brought here"

"But... she heart-attack?"

"This isn't her first time, I'm sure about this. Don't you even know that your family member is suffering from a Heart-attack? How can you..." before he continues a nurse came and informs him about Khushi's condition getting serious. He rushed towards the room along with Raizada-s

****************

Arnav pacing in room feeling restless. He couldn't make what's the reason, but he wants to know about Khushi. He quickly took out his phone to see it's dead. Cursing under his breath, he switched it on, keeping for charging. Immediately after getting life it showed the number of missed calls he got from his di and Akash. He immediately called them to know the answer for his restlessness. But whatever he heard left him dead in his place.

After hours like life time, he rushed towards the room where Khushi was kept, he came directly from the airport.

Seeing him, everyone burst out into cries filling him about Khushi's condition. He hugged his sister and looked through the glass window to see Khushi's almost lifeless body. He can clearly see the pain on her face. After so much argument, he left to home to fresh up and come back immediately.

****************

He is looking at the paper in his hands, which he found on his cloths; with fear enveloping his heart.

"Arnav ji...

I don't know I can call you this or not... if not, then please forgive me. This is the last time I'm calling you anything from now. I know something is wrong with me. I want to tell you that I'm not doing good. But... you left. I'm feeling lonely without you Arnav ji. The feeling you are avoiding me or misunderstanding me is eating me up. Please trust me... I never was in a relation with him. I never will... devi mayya ki kasam. How can I do that when I lost my heart to YOU, my Arnav ji? You believe it or not, that was, is the truth. Please Arnav ji... for the last time, trust me. I don't know whether I can say this directly to you or not, but I loved you then, I love you now... and will love you till my last. I miss you Arnav ji... It's hurting... here in my heart... I know something is surely happening with me. I'm scared Arnav ji... please come back to me. My heart can't take your absence. Please trust me... forgive me... before I die, please... I need you most... come back..."

Arnav sat on the bed with a thud. He looked around the room to see her once.

"Khushi..." He whispered.

Suddenly stood up and rushed outside the house towards his life. He knows, she can't leave him and go just like that... after all it's their love...
