Khushi(derisively ): Oh yeah! how can I forget?? You have 6 more in store! You don't have to buy until 2-3 days depending on your appetite..

Garima(angrily): Khushi how dare!! Don't forget that you are talking to your mother.

Khushi: Mother you!!! You are a cunning woman.

Garima slapped her.

Garima: Why are you talking like this?

Payal saw from distance where the sound was coming from. She saw Khushi and Garima talking something seriously. She apprehended. Was it about her?? But she remained silent gulping her words and curiosity.

Khushi(in tears): How could you betray babuji amma. First tell me!! What is the need to earn money like this?

Now Garima became more serious. She thought her truth was out. Every second after this thought made her dread. She connected the previous question of her's and thought she was divulged. She started sweating.

Khushi(bellowing): Do you even know what could happen because of this?? It's not one but two lives are going to be in a big problem!!!

Garima was now looking on what she meant.

Payal: What happ...happened Khushi why are

Khushi(in tears angrily): You shut up!! You don't know anything other than daydreaming. There is something called reality and many loose tracks of that. If you would have earned then this day would not have come!! Do you even know what is happening in the house??

Garima: Khushi why are you scolding her unnecessarily. I know you know ......

Khushi: Everyone keep quiet!! It is my turn now!! Do you all even know what is happening in each other's life?? why do you sleep with men for money mom when I am in job??

Payal was aghast. Garima thought that she lost it and cried. Shashi was listening to this and was proud of his daughter. Atleast she has the guts to voice out the wickedness of the others.

Khushi(turning to Payal): And you!! Why did you hide from everyone that you are dating Akash? Do you even know the reality?? Since when is this happening??

Payal was silent now. She didn't have the courage to look at either Khushi or Garima.

Khushi: Already it is an unpredictable outcome of me marrying Arnav and now you?? What would their family think? Especially Mamiji? I can even agree Payal's case to some extent but Maaji don't you feel that this is a cheap business?

She pat on the floor. Garima closed her eyes.

Garima: Enough!! I can't handle this anymore!!

Khushi: How could you not? Did you do this just for money? I am ashamed to call you my mother!!

Garima: Shut up Khushi!! You needn't though!! Since I ain't am your real mother!!

Everyone was stunned but what she said.

Khushi(shocked): Maa...What are you saying?? What more do I need to know??

Garima: Yes!! There is a lot!! There is a lot going on without your knowledge.

Khushi burst into tears listening to this. Everyone is hiding something. Poor Khushi, she still has a lot to know.

Garima(continuing): Yes Khushi you heard it right!!! you are Seth Ratan lal's daughter in Jagmanpur.

The world stopped for Khushi listening this. So Shashi isn't her father is it?? And whom she thought as parents weren't her parents.

Garima(irritant): He will send us money every month. He said that he wants to take you there soon. He wishes to get you married to a man of his village..
