Arnav could heard his wife's wails from outside the door of their bedroom. He didn't know why but her pain filled cries were tearing his soul in pieces. Taking a deep breath, Arnav opened the door and enter their bedroom. Silently, he placed all the gifts on one side of the bed and joined Khushi on the floor. 

"Whatever happened that night... there was no fault of yours in it. I didn't want to fall in love with you. I hated that you made feel those things. I blamed you for making me feel those emotions. I... I'm sorry, Khushi. I regretted saying those things as soon as I had said them, but.... My ego stopped me from apologizing." He shook his head, "When I got to know about your engagement, I was so jealous. You were going to become someone else's. That's why I kept on insulting you... to make you think that I was better than that guy.... I never considered the affects of my words and actions. It's my fault that you've became like this. I promise I won't repeat my mistake. I accept you... however you are. Even if you're Money hungry now... I accept you." he told her reassuringly before gathering her in his arms. After giving her a tight hug, he left the room.

Khushi stared after him in confusion. "Hey Devi maiya, did this man go crazy? In one hand, he's apologizing to me for his monster like behavior, and on the other hand, he's insulting me by calling me greedy? And why did he say that he will accept me even if I'm greedy?" she asked her best friend in her mind. "Apko to pata hai na ki humne inse shaadi sirf humari maa aur papa ko bachane ke liye kiya hai? Inse to humne sirf humari parhai ka kharcha uthane ko kaha tha. Isme hum lalchi kaise huye? Kuch samajhme nahi ata hume iss Laad Governor ki." she huffed angrily. [You know I married him only to save my parents. I only asked him to pay for my education. How did I become greedy by that? I don't understand that Lord Governor.]

A few hours later at the lunch table, Nani told Khushi and Payal to get ready as it was the 'Muh dikhai' ritual that evening. Arnav cleared his throat and gave Payal a gift bag. 

"This is for you, Payal." her told her.

Akash smiled. "Bhai ne khud design kiya hai ye lehenga Payal ke liye." he informed everyone. [Brother Arnav designed this himself for payal.]

Payal smiled as she was touched by his action. She opened the bag and found a gorgeous blue lehenga with matching jewelry inside. "Thank you, Arnavji. It's my favorite color." she said. 

"Can't I do this much for my new sister?" he asked instead making everyone smile

"Can't I do this much for my new sister?" he asked instead making everyone smile.  He then turned to his wife who was standing behind him. "Aur ye tumhare liye." he said handing her a matching gift bag. [And this one is for you.]

"Kholiye na, Khushiji! Hume bhi dekhna hai ki Chhote ne apko kaunsi rang ka lehenga diya hai." Anjali pleaded. "Please hurrily open this, Khushi. I want to see which color lehenga Arnav gave you.]

Nodding, Khushi opened the gift bag and found a beautiful mastered yellow lehenga with a matching jewelry set. "Ye to humara favorite rang hai!" [It's my favorite color.]  Khushi exclaimed in shock. She didn't know how her husband got to know about her favorite color.
