Next day,

Buaji: What are you saying payalia? Did titaliya really agreed for marriage?

Payal: Yes buaji, she agreed. You all come here we have to speak to radhika aunty.

Buaji: Wait payalia, don't tell anything to radhikaji regarding khushi's marriage.

Payal confused but said 'ok' and cut the call.

Buaji: Garima get ready fast we have to go to RM.

***

In hospital, aman is speaking in phone,

Aman: yes NK doctor said to wait for 48 hours.

NK: Did you inform this to the family?

Aman: No need to inform them. They are the one who doesn't want ASR so let it be. You don't worry i'll look after ASR, said angrily.

NK: Maybe after knowing his accident they will realise their mistake and care for him.

Aman: Stop this topic here NK. I am capable enough of looking after my friend cum boss. ASR said that you supported him after the truth out. So only i am speaking to you, said dangerously.

NK: ok ok man, can you please arrange a ticket for me to India. I tried to book tickets but seats are full. You have high contacts na so please arrange a ticket for me. I'll directly come to the hospital.

***

Meanwhile, in RM

Nani: Come madhumatiji, why you said not to inform anything to radhika?

Buaji: samandji, we are not interested in this proposal, she dropped the bomb slowly. Please don't mistake us. We don't want our betiya to marry for compromise when we clearly know she cannot love another man other than arnav bituwa.

Nani: But khushi betiya did not want to live with him.

Buaji: I will talk to her. Now she is not taking decisions her ego takes all.

Nani: Don't force her, i know she is your betiya. You wanted her happiness only, we too want the same.

Buaji nods and went towards khushi room accompanied by garima, while shashi is in downstairs with payal. In guest room, khushi is standing near the poolside.

Garima: khushi....

Khushi: amma, when did you come? Buaji you too? Babuji also here, asked chirpily.

Buaji: Don't jump like a kid sankadevi. We came here to talk important matter, said this eyed garima to take lead.

Garima: betiya payal told you agreed for marriage. Is it true?

Khushi: haan amma....said while lowering her head.

Buaji: hai re nandhakishore....are your brain went for a holiday? Because of your anger in arnav beta you agreed for this marriage.

Garima: Think twice khushi it's your life, not a joke. You only said that you could not love another man another day, but here you are accepting this marriage. If you can't love your partner then you can't lead a happy life. If you once enter in this relation you cannot easily step out, four lives will be affected by this single decision. Think about ruhi, if you marry her father in haste and later come to know that you cannot live your life happy with them then what will you do? And it will affect little ruhi.

Khushi whined, Don't confuse me.....

Buaji: titaliya mistake happens sometimes, we are humans, not god. Please rethink your decision. Maybe arnav bituwa truly repents and want to live with you.

Khushi: If he truly repents then why didn't he react on my marriage news. One day passed still he didn't call me, if not at least he called here in RM na. But nothing sort of this happened and the news is still airing.

Buaji: Maybe he was stuck in work. Aakash bituwa said na he went for a business meet, so there is a chance that he doesn't know about this mess. We will wait for one-week titaliya, if he didn't try to clear this within this time then we will think about further.

Khushi nods, garima hugs her and smiles at buaji who stood behind khushi and started remembering their earlier conversation regarding their neighbour words in Laxmi Nagar. Her words give them realisation and save them from committing the biggest sin of their betiya's life. Like she said if once they forcefully keep some sense in khushi during arnav's repenting period then this problem will not arrived on first place.

***

Two days passed in spur so as doctor's deadline of 48 hours for arnav. Aman was sitting on the chair which is in front of ICU. Someone taps his shoulder,

Aman: hey when did you arrive?

Person: Just now. How is he?

Aman: Still same, didn't opened his eyes. Doctor gives 48 hrs deadline if he didn't open his eyes within this period then he may slip into coma, said sadly.

Person: Can we see him now? asked with a desperate voice.

Aman: No doctors are checking him. Doctor came out of ICU,

Person: How is he doctor? Is he fine?

Doctor: Look he already have diabetes, if i am not wrong he is in depression for days and probably drinking too much which is not good for diabetic patients. This adds too much stress in an already injured brain. He stopped and after a minute of silence and seeing a pair of anxious face before him & tells, 'I am sorry to say he slipped into coma'

Aman: What??? And instantly composed himself from breaking down, When will he recover?

Doctor: I cannot tell that now, that depend on his recovery speed. Maybe he takes one day or week or probably years. We have to put him in full ventilation system.

Aman: Can we take him home? We will look after him as per your instructions. You can send doctors to our house, we will look after their needs also and sadly continued, ASR hate hospital smells, so if he is in a homely atmosphere he maybe recovers fastly and feels better.

Doctor: As your wish...and yes happy and healthy atmosphere have a major role in patient recovery. You have to keep him happy even if he doesn't respond, said this he went from there.

Person: Aman you said he's living separately, where will we take him?

Aman: his penthouse.

They shifted him into his penthouse that evening as aman did not want to keep him in the hospital, the place where arnav hate most. Two senior doctors, three nurses are appointed and arnav room was turned into a hospital room with all machines. Next day NK lands directly into penthouse,

NK: Where is he?...aman shows the room.

NK hurriedly took the steps that lead to arnav room and enters. The sight in front of him made his eyes mist. There in king size bed arnav is lying with many wires attached to his frame and his face is pale as if all his blood was sucked out of his body. His head is covered with numerous bandages and face remains calm with no emotion or expression. The one who cannot sit calmly without work for a minute is lying there with no movement. NK went near him and touch his hands hesitantly.

NK: Nannav wake up ! see i am here...... I know i said i'll come in one week but see na now i came, get up and scold me...... I am missing your What The.....nannav scold me once.....see i am eager for your scolding, this chance will come once in a lifetime.....if you don't wake up then i will annoy you by crushing and making sounds using lays packet.....but arnav didn't even lift his little finger. He tried all possible ways he knows and finally,

See nannav this is my last offer, if you get up now then i'll call you arnav not nannav.....hereafter i don't irritate you.....see you are making a handsome, jovial, ever smiling NK to crying baby. Please get up na......

Nurse: sir, please don't make him emotional. Just now he pass through major operation in brain, so please speak about happy moments that will trigger his memory, not some emotional or sad incidents sometimes that will lead to the problem.

Now only NK notices he is not alone with arnav, nurse is also there. He embarrassedly nods and went out of the room to directly face with aman and a beautiful lady. He is confused who is this lady? Maybe aman's girlfriend.

NK: Aman is really khushiji going to marry?

Aman: I think so, if the news is not true then they may have released press statement.

Person: I have to meet them all, said with red eyes and anger evident in her voice.

NK: again confused why she has so much anger for raizada's and concern for nannav, thinking this he said tomorrow we can go see the time it is past 9. The lady nods.

Aman: NK where are you going to stay?

NK: obviously here only. I cannot go there till nannav enter that house again.

Person: What nannav? Who is he?

Aman: nannav means arnav, said with a mischievous smile. Here four rooms are there you can stay in one NK and turns to the person you?

Person: What question is this? Obviously, i'll also stay here. Till his recovery, i cannot go back. By the way aman where are you staying? You stay here today no need to go to your home. We cannot handle this alone.

Aman: I am staying here from the moment ASR left RM. If you want anything then don't hesitate to call me, i am in the left room that is adjacent to ASR room.

Again Nk confused why that lady care for nannav this much. Seems like she is not aman's girlfriend. NK called it as night all went to their respective rooms after dinner.

***

Next day morning in RM all are in living room. Khanna's too there to know the decision of khushi. Nani once again called Gupta's, anjali and shyam to RM to discuss khushi's life. Ruhi is getting bored so she start to see aakash and payal wedding album. Suddenly she shouts,

Ruhi: This uncle...

Rajiv: ruhi doll What happened? Why are you screamed?

Ruhi: points arnav in a photo and tell 'see, this uncle only held khushi aunty while falling na'....

Rajiv doesn't understand anything. Actually, he didn't properly see khushi husband.

Aakash: How do you know? Asked slowly.

Ruhi: They show it in TV. See na this uncle loves khushi aunty deeply, then why are they separated asked innocently.

All are shocked by her words and stood like a statue.

Buaji: found her voice and asks, how you know beta? She wonders how this little girl correctly figures out arnav loves khushi when elders can't.

Ruhi: again pointing towards a photo, see how this uncle lovingly stares at khushi aunty. Dad also looks my mom like this, when i ask this to dad he told me that he loves mom so much, that's why he looks at her like that. So obviously this uncle loves khushi aunty, said innocently smiling after giving a brilliant explanation according to her.

While all the members are stood rooted like a statue hearing ruhi's innocent statement regarding arnav's love. Suddenly someone claps all turns to see aman and a lady.

Person: waaahhh.......seems like all are enjoying, said mockingly.

Khushi: Lav..anya..ji....

PRECAP: REALISATION

...to be continued
