Khushi & Gauri

Khushi and Gauri were taken to hospital by Anika, Payal, Rudra and Om. Doctors were checking on them, while Shivaay who went on an important work reached the hospital. Shivaay tells Anika that they'll soon find Gauri as he came to know that Gauri escaped from Bareli and she's somewhere in Delhi. Meanwhile Gauri was checked by the doctor and was given medication. Om who stayed with the young boy, on his bhabhi Anika's insistence is being drawn to the boy. It was like love at first sight to him and he was confused. Anika and Shivaay met the doctor, who told them the girl dressed as boy is anemic, but fine and gave them a prescription for pain, weakness and Anemia. Anika then came to Gauri, felt it was her own sister, so she checked for her birth marks while Shivaay asked the doctor to check their DNA. Anika on instinct called Gauri aloud and Gauri responded. Anika asked if her pet name was Chutki and Gauri asked how she knew? Anika introduced herself and talked about their childhood and Gauri who recognised those memories and asked Anika, if she was her Anika Di? When Anika responded positively she jumped on to Anika like a koala bear. Om who just returned with water bottles was shocked on seeing this. Shivaay smiled and asked Gauri if she escaped from Bareli, from Kali? Gauri nodded positively while tightening her grip on Anika. Shivaay just laughed out aloud shaking his head. He praised Gauri for escaping from Kali and pinched her cheeks. He then introduced himself as her Jiju (BiL) and introduced Om and Rudra to Gauri. He promised her that now he will protect and provide for her as she is his Anika's sister and welcomed her to stay with them to which she agreed.

Meanwhile while Khushi who was unconscious was waking up after treatment. Her clothes were torn at places. There were scratches and marks at various places on her body due to struggle. Payal was next to Khushi holding her hand and cried. Shivaay came there and consoled Payal and told her that Khushi is not safe and that Khushi will recover if she is with Arnav. He offers to take Khushi to Arnav, as Arnav cannot come here leaving business to Khushi until they establish her identity to safeguard her. Payal agreed to this as she knows that Khushi will be safe with Arnav and remembered how Anika and Rudra fought to save Khushi. Doctor discharged Gauri and told that Khushi has to stay till night for observation. Meanwhile Khushi started mumbling Arnav's name as Nannav and woke up with a startle and started crying. Payal hugged her and calmed her down while she layed on Payal's lap and told how goons attacked her, beat her, didn't let her escape, tore her clothes, scratched her and how they degraded her while crying. Payal who was also crying tried to calm her down with no success.

Meanwhile Shivaay dialed Arnav who was punching holes into the sandbag letting out his frustration as he was not able to prevent the attack on Khushi. Earlier he talked with Shivaay and asked him to bring Khushi to Nainital as she will be safe with him. He called NK to inform about Khushi, who was overjoyed and told that he will book the next flight to India. Arnav asked NK ie; Nakul Singh Rathore to come to Nainital to meet his sister (paternal cousin) Khushi Singh Rathore.

Shivaay called Arnav and handed over his mobile to Khushi who was crying terribly. Khushi on hearing Arnav's voice cried even more hard, but Arnav calmed her down over the mobile and informed her that Shivaay will bring her to Nainital to him. Khushi nodded her head while Arnav and Shivaay smiled to themselves.

Shivaay told Om to drop Payal at home to bring Khushi's clothes and told Anika that he arranged for her and Gauri's DNA 🧬 test and told Gauri that till the test results were out her identity is established, who should continue to dress as a boy for the time being. He told Rudra to stay with Khushi while he arranges for a dinner for them and walks out. Rudra tried to cheer up Khushi while Anika & Gauri returned after giving blood samples for DNA.

Gauri saw Khushi trying to stop her tears and called baby Chutki and Khushi looked at her bewildered. Gauri then remembered the other baby Chutki in the orphanage before she was adopted and brought to Bareli. She informed of it to everyone and told that she orphanage owner tried to sell baby Chutki who was 8 years old, 2 years younger than herself. And then a mysterious person came and beat up the orphanage owner and didn't let him sell baby Chutki. She also told them that if baby Chutki didn't listen to them, the orphanage owner would often lockup Khushi in the cupboard because she was afraid of darkness. Sometimes when it's raining with thunderstorms, the orphanage owner would lockup Khushi alone in the cupboard to entertain themselves at Khushi's distress. Shivaay was furious and informed Arnav of the same. Payal returned with a few clothes of Khushi for her to change. Shivaay took pictures of Khushi, of her injuries and sent them to Arnav. Payal and Anika helped Khushi to change into a night dress. They all had dinner and Shivaay informed Payal that since Shyam's goons might have still kept an outlook at their home, Payal should be careful and that Om and Anika will stay to help her in wedding preparations and that he will take Khushi and Rudra to Nainital and they will start after midnight 🕛. Payal agreed and held Khushi in her arms for a while before kissing her and bidding farewell. It was half past eleven at night when Payal reached Buaji's home with Anika, Gauri and Om.

Buaji asked about Khushi and Payal told her about her condition and that she's tired so she will talk tomorrow and headed to her room with Anika and Gauri, while Om went to the guest room where Shyam used to stay.

At midnight Shivaay left to Nainital with Khushi and Rudra and informed of the same to Anika, Arnav and Payal. Meanwhile Arnav completed his work and decided to take a power nap as his Khush baby will reach Nainital by morning.
