The unexpected turn [COMPLETED]

Past (II)

Arnav drove the car rashly without knowing his destination . He stopped the car with a jerk in a lonely road and came out , closing the door angrily with a thud . He leaned to the car door and slowly slipped down and brought his knees to his chest level . He remembered how he ignored Khushi and punished her for nothing wrong in the past , blindly trusting his sister's words .

Anjali : Shya....

Shyam : No Rani Saheba , he need to know this so that you won't get hurt again .

Arnav : What are you hiding from me di ??

Shyam : She is hiding that its your wife because of whom she is hurt today . 

Anjali : Shyamji please !!

Shyam : What please Rani Saheba ?? I don't give anyone the right to hurt my wife . 

Arnav : (frustrated) Can anyone tell me what actually happened ?? And how is Khushi the reason behind Di's burnt hand ??

Shyam : Saale sa...

Arnav : Di I am asking you and not anyone else , please tell me what happened ??

Anjali : Chotte , leave it I am fine .

Arnav : Di , you have my swear , tell me what happened ??

Anjali : (crying) Chotte , I don't want to hurt you but I cannot ignore the fact that you have given me your swear . Actually , what happened was I , Shyamji and Khushiji were only there in the house and as Khushiji is from a middle class family . she wanted a bucket of hot water to take a bath and she asked me to prepare it in the gas as she wanted . I didn't objected ignoring Shyamji who was telling me not to do it because HP , OP or JP could have done it but I thought Khushiji is new in this house so she would have felt bad if I did so and prepared the water for her . I went to your room to give her the water . I gave her the water and left but later I heard an angry shout from your room and went to check on her but she shouted at me and took me to the bathroom . I swear chotte , I did not prepare that hot water that would have burnt her . She dipped my hand in the burning water to punish me and my hand ..... I swear chotte I did not did that .
