IN GH:

Arnav, Akash, Aman and Payal are waiting for Khushi to come. It is already 10.10 pm. Arnav is pacing impatiently seeing time for every passing minute.

"Why is she taking more time ??"asked Arnav impatiently..

All looked at him quietly.. They knew it is no use to ask him to be calm.

"I will go inside and get her "said Arnav finally.

"ASR. Plz relax. We can't take risk "said Aman.

After a five minutes, they saw a person coming towards them. It was Khushi. As soon as she came , Khushi hugged Arnav tightly and cried in his embrace.

"Khushi..plzz don't cry"said Arnav stroking her back.

"Khushi. we are all there for u"said Payal.

Khushi came out of the hug.

"Arnavji. I don't know how he came to know I love someone. He threatened me to say your name....... I din't say. Then he asked me to marry him. I denied it........ he beat my Di in front of me mercilessly threatening until I won't agree for marriage , he will be torturing my Di and parents. He had a gun Arnavji. "said Khushi crying hiccupping.

"shhh Khushi don't cry. I am here now. "said Arnav wiping his own tears.

Others too had tears in their eyes and seeing her vulnerable state.

Arnav wiped her tears and calmed her down.

"Let's go Khushi from here" said Arnav.

"No Arnavji. I can't come. He will kill my Di and parents"said Khushi.

Suddenly they saw a person standing and watching them shocked.

It was Anjali who is looking at them.

"Khushi!!" called Anjali..

"Di "whispered Khushi turning around

She slowly stroded them. They could see the bruises on her body.

Facing to Arnav, Anjali asked" You are the one whom Khushi loved ??"
Arnav nodded his head.

"Do you really love her ??"asked Anjali.

"More than my life" said Arnav.

"Do you want her to be always happy ??"asked Anjali.

Arnav nodded his head. Anjali could see the truth and love for her sister in his eyes.

"Then plz take her away from here "said Anjali.

Khushi looked at her shocked.

"Di. What are you saying ?? NO Di. He will kill you "said Khushi crying.

Anjali cupping her face said" Khushi. Listen to me. I don't want you to destroy your whole life because of me... I can see Arnav loves you a lot. By keeping in his safe hands I don't even regret to die . I can die in peace.......... If you marry that shyam I can't even die in peace. Plz go with him. I will manage here"

"But Di......."Khushi was going to say something but Anjali said" Tum ko meri kasam (You have my promise). Go with him"

Khushi din't say anything and stood confused.

Arnav went near her and said" Khushi. You don't worry. I have kept my men around your house. They won't even allow that shyam to touch your di and parents. Do you trust me ??"

Khushi nodded her head and said" more than myself "

"Then you come with me"said Arnav then turning to Aman signaled something.

Aman went and brought something.

Arnav giving to Anjali said' Anjaliji. This is for you"

Anjali took it which is an ornament with a big stone embedded in the centre. She looked at it confused.

"Actually this is a spy camera with a sensor in it. If you wear this it will record your every activity. If you are in trouble , you press the stone. The sensor in it will alert us. In the next minute my men will be in your home. Actually I brought it Khushi for her to wear now but you came so..."said Arnav.

Anjali looked at him astonished and wore it infront of him.

"We will leave now "said Arnav.

Anjali nodded her head. Khushi hugged her sister tightly.

Anjali looked at Arnav and was going to say something but Arnav cutoff" I will take care of her. You don't worry"

"Take care Di "said Khushi and they all drove off from there.

Arnav took Khushi to her private apartment rather than to his house not to make Nani worried.

Anjali when entered into the house saw shyam coming towards her.

"Where were you ??" asked shyam suspiciously.

"I went to feel fresh air" said Anjali.

"I can't understand what's your problem ?? I am bringing your own sister as your sauten and you are not accepting it... It will be good naa both the sisters marrying one person."said shyam smirking evily.

Anjali giving an disgusting look at him went from there.

IN Arnav's apartment:

Arnav asked Akash and Aman to come early in the morning.

After they left he went and sat beside Khushi who is sofa lost in her thoughts.

"Khushiii "called Arnav. She looked at him.

"Everything will be Ok" said Arnav cupping her face.

"Did you had anything ??'asked Arnav.

"I am not feeling hungry "said Khushi keeping her head on his shoulder.

"But you have to take something "said Arnav indicating a room said" You go and fresh up. There are even dresses for you. I will order food"

Khushi nodded her head and went in. she need a hot shower to come out of this.

When she came out, food already delivered and Arnav arranging them. He smiled to her to which she reciprocated feebly.

They both completed food feeding each other.

After dinner Arnav got a call and went aside to talk. When he came into room he saw Khushi again lost in his thoughts.

He went and sat beside her. She looked at him and hugged him.

"I thought I lost you Arnavji "said Khushi with tears.

Arnav bringing her out of the hug said " You will never lose me Khushi" and kissed her forehead.

"Arnavji. Will you fulfil my wish ??"asked Khushi.

"Ofcourse Khushi. Why not ?? What do you want ?"said Arnav.

"Make me yours Arnavji "said Khushi.

Arnav looked at her dumbstruck.

"Khushi. You know what you are asking ??"said Arnav.

"I know Arnavji. Plz I want to be marked as yours in every way. Assure me. plz make me your's forever' said Khushi with tears.

Arnav looked at her and understood her situation. He slowly kissed her tears , her cheeks and captured her lips. Soon he took her to the world of passion where only love exists. It is neither lust nor desire but just an assurance to her that she is his, only his.
