GH [ At the same time when Arnav was with Shyam ]:
Garima strolled into her room. Tension and anxiety were palpable across her face. "I need to get Khushi's sign on those papers by any means. My daughter's future is at stake. I can't let my daughter's life and mine be ruined because of Khushi and her father," she grumbled.
"What haven't I done to get that girl out of here? I even tried to have her murdered. But no... she was born with nine lives. I don't want to risk hurting her again now. There's no other way. I must get Khushi to sign the papers before Arnav gets here. Why isn't this Khushi here yet?" she muttered, growing worried.
In her anxiety and tension, she missed a broken silhouette, which had overheard everything she was whispering. Khushi, who was about to enter Garima's bedroom, stopped in her tracks and was shocked. She couldn't believe a woman could sink so low.
She was crushed by what she heard from her so-called mother. Garima had tried to kill her? Did she loathe her that much? Khushi stumbled back, tears spilling from her eyes.
"H-how and why would she do that to me? Didn't she even think of the consequences of what she's done? She wanted to... se-sell me? Even tried to kill me? And for what? Just to get rid of me?" She felt like someone had stabbed her repeatedly. She couldn't move and remained paralyzed, tears bursting from her eyes.
Khushi rushed into her room, unable to hold back any longer, and threw herself onto the bed. "Why, Devi Maiya, why? What mistake did I make for You to punish me like this? I called this woman 'Amma', and she..." Her voice choked, only stifled sobs escaped. She wept uncontrollably.
All of a sudden, she sat up on the bed, frightened, as a thought struck her. "Which papers was she talking about? Is she planning something against me again? Or something against Arnavji now?" she whispered, terrified. Her heart shuddered at the thought.
She shook her head vigorously. "No... no... I can't let anything happen to him. I have to find out what she's planning. She can't break me like this. Not because of this woman, no... never. I need to be strong. Not just for myself, but for Arnavji and our family. If Arnavji sees me shattered, he will be hurt too, and I can't hurt him."
