Flashback begins

Khushi's flashback

While everyone was went to shamshaan for the final rituals of Arnav's parents except Nani ji, Anjali and Khushi police enters the house.

Police officer : who is khushi kumari Gupta.

Khushi : its me.

Police officer : ma'am do you have anyone else in the family.

Nani : we are her family. Please tell why are you asking all this.

Police officer : actually I have a very sad news for you all. While coming here Shashi and Garima's car fell into abyss.

Khushi fell down and cried bitterly.

Police officer : ma'am please.

After few minutes when Nani was able to absorb the news police officer handed some of the belongings of Khushi's parents to her and went away.

Nani some how managed to take khushi to her room and tried to console her ....the pain for the poor soul was becoming unbearable.

Arnav's flashback

When Arnav returned from shamshaan he went straight to his room unaware of the pain Khushi and what was going in the home.

And then came another shock for everyone when Arnav and Anjali were told to pack there bags as their father was getting married to another woman. Although nani bought all three of them Arnav took the changes to seriously and isolated himself so much that he became unaware of anything happening around him. Seeing him so much depressed elders decided to give him sometime to cope up with the loss of his mother and father before giving him the news of demise of his bare papa and bari maa.

A week later

Arnav heard someone crying near his room. Opening the door he saw Khushi holding her parents picture and crying bitterly.

Arnav : what is happened why are you crying over bare papa and bari maa's pic like this?

Khushi started crying more bitterly and soon he saw her swinging as unconsciousness took over her. He rushed and held her and carried her to his room and placed her on the bed. After making sure that she is resting he rushed out and called Nani.

Nani, mami, Anjali and Akash came rushing to khushi while Manohar mama rushed to call doctor

Nani : bechaari meri bachchi.

Mami : she is looking so weak...
In such a small age she has to go through all this.

Nani indicated Mami that Arnav is standing on the room so mami shut her mouth immediately . Hearing mami's word Arnav thought that she is stressed due to their marriage.

Soon mama returned with a doctor who after examing said : it is due to stress. I m giving her medicine please tell her to rest and try to keep her away from stress as much as possible.

All nodded ok and mama went to send off the doctor.

Arnav stood in corner and looked at Khushi's face and thought : it hought af er mumma you will stay with me forever, as mumma wanted but you are so stressed because of this marriage. In order to ease your stress I will go away from here. Slowly left the room without letting anyone notice him.

For next few days Arnav was very busy and no one knew what kept him so busy until one evening he came to Nani when everyone was sitting and having their tea.

Arnav : Nani and Di i want to talk to you

Nani : yes chotte .

Arnav :  tomorrow I m going to U. S. for further study.

Di : chotte why are you telling at last moment .

Arnav : Di I have got scholarship. If I miss this chance may be I will never get it again .

Nani pressing Anjali's hand : Anjali bitya Chotte is right let him go.

Anjali : ok but don't forget to call us and make sure you come back to India after completing your course.

Next day Arnav left for US but in all this he made sure to come as less as possible infront of Khushi as he didn't wanted to add stress to her.

It has been a week since Arnav has left India he used to call everyday and talk for hours with his Di, Nani and other family members except Khushi. At evening a like everyday Arnav called his home.
