Arnav rushed towards Emergency ward, where Khushi is being treated. When he tried to go inside, nurse stopped him saying treatment is going on and no one is allowed inside. He paced in the corridor restlessly, peeking inside through the glass window in every few seconds.

After waiting for hours, all Raizada-s saw doctor coming out from Khushi's room. They rushed towards him to ask about Khushi

"I will explain her condition clearly later. But for now, she is not doing good. Her blood pressure is not under control. To get her into conscious, we need her BP and vitals to be under control. We are really worried seeing her not coming to normal condition and being unconscious after giving injections. This is not at all good to give so many injections at a time. We have to observe her condition for some more time to give next medicine. We have to give intervals between the medication. We are doing our best to bring her out. Please be cooperative and positive. I need to go now" Doctor left from there.

"Devi Mayya... what's happening with my child? Why are you giving punishment to her? What's her mistake? Please save her Devi maiya... please save my child" Nani cried out loud

"Sasuma... please control yourself... nothing will happen to our Khushi. She is a fighter, she will come back with a bang... please sasuma, control yourself... please..." Mami cried with nani, trying to assure herself by assuring Nani. She suddenly turned to Arnav as she remembered doctor asking about Khushi's first attack. She started her interrogation

"Arnav bitua, doctor was telling Khushi has an attack and he was telling this is her second time. When did she get first attack and why didn't you tell us? What's is happening Arnav? What made Khushi land in this situation? Doctor said she is in under much hurt and shock? What's the matter? Do you want to talk anything? Are we unaware of anything?"

Arnav stood there not knowing what to answer. He is in confused state whether to reveal the reason he is 100% sure, which pushed Khushi to this state. He stood there thinking, what If he reveals, how his family's reaction will be? What will be his sister's condition? Will they able to take this or not? His thoughts got disturbed by Anjali, who shook him vigorously.

Seeing Arnav in complete silence, they understood that he knew the answer, they understood that they were kept in dark. Somewhere they think, that all these to do with their sudden marriage and it might have started from that time.

"Mami is asking you something Chote. Answer her" Anjali's commanded him in her Stern voice

"Di..."

"We need answers Chote" Nani too stood up from her seat and walked to Arnav.

He looked at everyone and he eyes stopped on Shyam, who is looking at him with curious eyes. His eyes moved from Shyam to the girl who stood before him questioning her fears

"You know about him, don't you?" Asked Payal seeing arnav looking at Shyam

Arnav looked at Payal with painful eyes

"Please don't tell me, you misunderstood her..." Payal feared to hear the answer

But Arnav looked at her with same pained eyes

"Please don't tell me, you forced her into this marriage, because of your MU" Payal literally begged him by folding her hands before him

"Forced her into marriage? What are you talking about Payal?" Asked Akash completely perplexed. But neither Arnav nor Payal reacted to his question. Everyone looked at the duo with terrified expression on their faces.

"Payal..." he called her with so much guilt in his voice

Her name from his mouth, gave all the answers to her worries. She collapsed on the floor crying bitterly.

"Did she know the reason?" Payal asked through her tearful eyes

Arnav nodded his head again not able to answer or look into her eyes. Everyone looked at her and at Arnav worriedly, not understanding anything. Mami and Buaji rushed towards her and made her stand.

"Oh... what did you do Arnav ji... Other than loving you and your family, what did she do to get your hatred this much? Why are you hell bent on spoiling her life? I thought you will see her pain behind her every smile. But I failed to guess you are the reason for the pain behind her innocent smile. I thought she is happy with you. But I never guessed that she is faking her happiness before all of us, just to save you from the questionings. What did you do Arnav ji... she loved you as much as she loves her parents. But you just done whatever her parents did, just left her to face her fate by herself not supporting her in any way. Do you know what she said, when we came to know about him? She said, whoever trust her or not, whoever support her or not, you will support her, you will trust her and you will believe her. But you proved her wrong... you proved her belief in you wrong. You broke her arnav ji..." Payal cried her heart out

Mami and Buaji led her to the chair. Gupta's somewhat can understand what she and Arnav are talking about

Payal looked at Garima and said "This is why me and Khushi wanted to tell them everything amma. But you pushed Khushi to the edge by swearing on you not to tell them. See now, what happened to our Khushi. She is on her deathbed, battling for her life... How can we be selfish in this amma. Can you see how much your worry about my marriage push our khushi to what extent? What did we all do with my baby sister. I'm sorry Khushi... I'm sorry for failing you... I'm sorry for not being with you when you needed us most... I'm sorry for not understanding your pain... I'm sorry for not responsible as much as you were... I'm sorry for not acting like your elder... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." with that Payal cried her heart out loud, making everyone more confused...

"Can someone tell me what is happening here?" Nani shouted, not able to bear the secrecy of and in their family.

"Chote... tell us Chote... what is Payal ji saying? What are we hearing? Did... you... did you force Khushi ji into wedding? But why? ANSWER ME CHOTE..." Anjali shouted in the top of her voice

"Please be calm... this is hospital you shouldn't raise your voice like this. Please take your argument to your home" came the incharge doctor of ward, warning them.

Apologising for their behaviour, they remained silent not uttering a word, because they somewhere knew that if they continue this topic, there won't be any control for their emotions which may lead any type of reaction. So, they stayed silent for now.

Arnav leaned on the door and looked at Khushi's sleeping form from the glass window. Her body is completely covered with all the pipes and needles. The sight made him close his eyes in pain. While his heart pained seeing Khushi in that situation, his hands went to his trouser pocket on their own accord, reminding him about the letter she left for him. Her first and to his dislike may be last letter to him. He slowly walked towards the secluded end of the corridor and sat on a chair. He slowly opened the letter to read it. Tears rolled down on his cheeks when his eyes caught and stopped on his name - 'Arnav ji'

The way she called him by that name, sounds so different than when Payal calls him. He can feel the longing when khushi calls him, he can feel the love and care of her for him now. He closed his eyes while so many feelings engulfed his heart.

"Khushi" he called her in whisper. He leaned his head on the wall remembering their last meet at the airport. The way she pleaded him to give her a chance and to believe her, to trust her, was really heart wrenching. He remembered all the times he spent with her before their marriage, their small cute encounters and every pain he inflicted upon her from the start. He looked at the ceiling remembering her words about how Shyam betrayed her and her family. But he never believed her or trusted her. Seeing her in this situation, made him understand her turmoil, made him understand what he had done to an innocent soul, made him understand how much he pushed a pure heart till it's own breakdown and how he insulted her love towards him and his Di.

"I'm sorry Khushi... please come back... Please... I can't live in this guilt Khushi. Please come back... I need your forgiveness to live my life... please come back..."

'Where were you when she need you most? How can you expect her to come back to you after whatever you did to her, when you never stood for her? Did you even give your shoulder to her when she was in her worst condition while her father was in difficult situation? Weren't you the person who gave her immense pain on Diwali night saying she doesn't even exist for you? Weren't you the person who insulted her for what she was never in first place? How can you expect her to listen to your words and come back to you, Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada?' His heart and mind asked him in grief.

He kept his face in his palms, remembering his incredulous behaviour towards her once again. He cried his heart out behind his palms for whatever he did, how he punished Khushi for the mistake she never did. He cursed under his breath for being a monster.
