Khushi remembers what he said when he first forcefully kissed her.

"""""""

Arnav: First time for me darling! You are not bad!

"""""""

She gets it why Arnav told her as just "me" and not "us".

Khushi(continuing): Do you think that it is the first time for you only?? It's first time for me as well idiot!! You know what dreams I had for my first kiss?? you spoiled it all!! Now what will I remember for my first kiss?? This lust?? I had dreams of my first night!! But you spoiled it all. The most shocking part is that it is the same person who I had the dream with but the reality is much different. Do you even know the difference between love and lust. I felt disgusting when you told that you know....on our first date....you went to the washroom and..and...

She cries not able to hold this much.

Arnav now realized what he thought of his pure girl. But he still had a few more questions regarding the happenings as he was still unclear.

Khushi(bellowing): Now tell me!! What will happen to my life after this?? Answer me Raizadha!!

Soon Khushi starts fainting and Arnav catches her on time in one hand and wipes his tears on the other. He lifts her and puts her on his car. She holds his collar when he was going back. He thinks of her and repents for what he did to her. He releases himself and withdrew.

Arnav took off the car and went to her house and laid her straight on the bed. She held his collar unconsciously. He sees this and caresses her face with tears. His Khushi was a virgin and he mistook her very much. He would not forgive himself for his whole life for the mistake he did. How did he misjudge her? He releases her hand from his collar. He was surprised to know that there was no one in her house. But he was happy for it as they wouldn't ask any questions. HE goes home with tears and pure loathe for himself. What if he had attended all her calls that day. Probably she wanted to tell this to him. She probably needed his support system badly. She wanted to share and bare her heart for all the happenings. She probably wanted to say something to him maybe. Why didn't he believe her? Why did he doubt her for his Dadi's sayings. Though Dadi was right on Garima's part. But she was not right on Khushi's part. Now he had to contradict his family, if not for his promise to marry a girl according to his Nani's choice. He drove his way crying. He reached home and cried for what he did to Khushi. She had lost his virginity for him. He became a rapist for his own lover. He was not happy with the thought that he would turn out to be this cheap. He tried sleeping but he couldn't. He took sleeping pills and slept.

The next day,

Khushi wakes up and discovers her environment. She at a point discovers this as a bad dream. But she very well knew that it was real as her saree that was wearing was similar to the one that Arnav had given her. She closes her eyes with her hands and cries seeing her fate.

Khushi(crying): Hey Devimayya... What will happen to my future??

She soon goes to bath. As soon as she comes out, she hears a knock on the door. She goes and opens the door and saw a man beaming at her.

Man: Khushi Beta! After years!!

The man suddenly hugs her. Khushi was shocked. She tries freeing herself.

Man: Don't worry beta I am your father, Ratan Lal.
Khushi now knew who it was and cries. He releases the hug.

Ratan: Beta, I had to leave you here for these many years for a reason I cannot say. You will know it all once you come to the village.

Soon Garima and the others come home. As soon as she sees Khushi with Ratan lal, she cries. She knew what was coming. She goes to him adjusting her pallu on her head and greets him to come home. Shashi too had tears in his eyes as he too knew what was coming. They all go inside. They are all in hall with Shashi and Ratan sitting and PAyal goes to her room to rest.
