Khushi shocked seeing Arnav and his stern expression. Rohit; who followed Khushi also shocked.

Arnav: Shashi uncle is waiting for us in RM. Let's go.

He said plainly. Khushi nodded yes and took a step ahead whereas Rohit composed himself. He blocked Arnav's way making Khushi perplexed. Arnav looked at him sternly.

Rohit: Look ASR...

Khushi(cutting him): Rohit, behave...

Arnav showed his palm and Khushi stopped sighing.

Rohit: I love Khushi very much. I know she loves me. But she hides her feeling for her father's sake. You can get many girls. But I can't think of anyone instead of Khushi. She always goes with her father's decision. Her father forces her to do everything. You have no idea, how close we are. We share everything, she likes me very much. I don't even know when I started loving her. Please try to understand.

When Rohit uttered those sentences; Khushi was looking at him, gritting her teeth with unnamed expression. And Arnav's was observing only Khushi's expression.

Rohit: ASR, please ...

Arnav (looking at Khushi): If she loves you, I will get her married to you.

Shock was crystal clear on Khushi's face. She turned her face towards Arnav with the same shock. Whereas Rohit's face glittered like ever before.

Rohit: Khushi... see, he himself is ready to make us together. Only your stance is needed. Tell him, you love me.

Khushi(gritting her teeth): I can't believe this Rohit... I really can't believe this. What a man you are? We share everything? Did you ever share, you love me?

Rohit: I thought you will stop talking to me. I was scared Khushi...

Khushi: Then how the hell did you think I'm in love with you damn it?

Rohit went speechless.

Khushi: Even if my father gives me choice, I will choose Arnavji over you because you disappointed me, disrespected my father, behaved cheap in the public and all the above, you have put your assumption in front of "my would-be husband".

Rohit: Khushi...

Khushi (showing her palm): Leave the place before I slap you. And never dare to come in front of me. It's over...

Saying she started walking towards Arnav's car, leaving stunning Arnav and shocking Rohit.

Arnav silently left the place. He saw Khushi sitting in the car closing her face by her palms. She looked disturbed. Why not? Rohit should not have behaved that way. He seemed frustrated. Khushi showed him the right place. That's great. He liked when she said "My would-be husband". He smiled softly. Arnav wanted to console her but how will she take it? He started the car. Khushi sat straight. She stole a glance of Arnav whose gaze was on the road. She saw his face without any mover which made her mover.

Khushi: Arnavji, stop the car.

Arnav frowned at her confusingly.

Khushi: Stop the car.

Arnav halted the car at the side of the road. He looked at her without asking anything.

Khushi: you don't have to keep anything in your mind. I can't understand what the hell is wrong with him.

Arnav: He loves you... nothing wrong in it...

Khushi: It is... if he would have told me, I had clearly denied him before itself. But he... he hid it and blamed me... idiot... I never knew he has feelings for me. We are friends from childhood you know. I can't believe he can do this. How could he disrespect my Dad...? (pause) Do you know how good my Dad is?

Arnav was looking at her not answering.

Khushi: He wants everything right. At the same time, he respects our feelings. He sacrifices his stubbornness for our willing. Do you know, he sent La to Singapore and Malaysia trip?

Arnav raised his eyebrows, like "really?"

Khushi: At first, he was not ready. I and La consoled him and he understood. Would he spend one and half lakhs just for his daughter's trip, if he doesn't care about our feelings?

Arnav nodded NO.

Khushi: He wants us to be disciplined. That's the only thing he expects from us. For that he does restrictions. He won't tolerate if we lack discipline. I know it's for our goodwill. I don't have any problem to be in his dominance because I love my Dad and he also loves us. I can't tolerate how Rohit missed to understand me and my Dad.

Her eyes brimmed with tears and started rolling down. Arnav's hand rose from the gear to wipe it. Before he doing that, Khushi wiped her face and sat straight.

Khushi: I'm done. We can go.

Arnav smiled at her. She wants him not to take her wrong. She looked correct-cut in her decision which made him double happy.

Khushi: Will you get me married to Rohit if I love him?

Arnav was stuck. He gulped not taking his eyes from the road nor did he reply to her.

Khushi: I like your stance.

Arnav looked at her firmly, controlling his smile.

Khushi (murmuring): He tried to push me from his life... but who could escape from the fate.

Though her voice was not loud but we can't say, Arnav didn't hear it. He rolled his eyes.

RM

When Arnav and Khushi reached RM, they saw Raizadas and Guptas are waiting for them. Shashi smiled at them.

Khushi: Dad, why did you call me?

Shashi: Sit...

Khushi looked at Ratna questioningly who shrugged her shoulders like "I too don't know". She sat beside Garima. Arnav sat right opposite to Khushi.

Arvind: Tell us Shashiji, what do you want to talk?

Shashi: I got three SUB MOORATHs for the wedding. As per Arnav's convenience, we can fix the date.

Arnav's eyes robotically rushed towards Khushi. Undoubtedly she was observing him only.

Shashi: As we decided to get Arnav and Khushi married, I want to clear a few things here.

Everyone looked at each other clueless including Garima.

Shashi: I agree we can't forget Lavanya. She is a part of our lives. But we should understand that she is our past. I don't want her memories to be reflected in our present. Arnav and Khushi should live happily. Lavanya's memories should not be a barrier to their lives. I want you to forget about Lavanya.

Ratna and Arvind liked Shashi's "not beating around the bush talk". He looked straight forward.

Shashi: Khushi...

Khushi jerked hearing her name from her father who was looking down till then.

Shashi: I don't want you to drag Lavanya into your marriage life. Don't think you are taking her place.

Khushi and also Arnav amazed at his stance. How does he know what Khushi thinks? Arnav's respect for Shashi rose into double. He is a very good father who reads his daughter's mind easily.

Shashi: Do you understand what I'm saying?

Khushi nodded YES and bowed down.

Shashi: You shouldn't make Arnav remember Lavanya by your action.

Khushi nodded yes.

Arvind was damn happy. He thought to do something like Shashi and took lead.

Arvind: I'm so glad about your open talks Shashiji. I will appreciate you if you advise Arnav also.

Arnav looked at him shockingly whereas Ratna cursed herself inwardly for telling about her drama to him.

Arvind: I want him to forget Lavanya and start a new life with Khushi.

He blurts out not knowing the seriousness of the matter. Arnav rolled his eyes. Here, Khushi is already thinking that he is unimaginably in love with Lavanya. Adding to it, his father is pouring oil in it, thinking that he is helping him. He glared at Ratna who was looking at him miserably.

Shashi: We don't have to say anything to him because he is clever. But we have to understand that he wants time to cope-up. That's why I don't want to wait until Khushi's collage gets completed. That time period will help them to understand each other's stance.

Not only Arnav but also Arvind and Ratna were satisfied with Shashi's approach.

Arnav understood something. His relationship with Khushi will take time to progress. Though they are getting married he should give her time to complete her studies. In that little time, they will get many chances to understand each other as well like Shashi said. She is a more understanding girl than what he thought. He thought she won't be serious, seeing her playful gestures. But seeing her and Shashi's understanding, she was enjoying every phase of her life and its positivity's. What a good quality! Now day's girls always blame their parents for everything. But Khushi is out of the list. She not only respects her father but also understands his strictness.

Cherry on the cake she doesn't have feelings for Rohit. The way she handled Rohit says, how straight forward she is. Like father like daughter. He has to be careful. She says everything on face.

Shashi's advice may change her behavior of "I won't disturb you" he supposed.

It seems, her "I won't disturb you" stance has already started disturbing Arnav. Let's see, how Khushi Kumari Gupta will be without disturbing her husband who is going to be with her 24*7.
