Raizadas were downstairs, all ready in traditional outfits for today's Rakshabandhan celebration except Arshi. Seeing the absence of eldest son and daughter-in-law, Subdhara comments venomously.
Subdhara : Devyani ab kya kahna hain tumhara ? Arnav abhi tak niche nahi aaya yeh jante huye ki aaj Rakshabandhan hain aur har saal Anjali sabse pahle use hi rakhi baandhati hain ...
{ Devyani what do you want to say now? Arnav hasn't come down yet, knowing that today is Rakshabandhan and every year Anjali ties a Rakhi on him first... }
Anjali looked towards the Pooja thaali, eyes filled with tears ( always playing victim card ... 😮💨 ) and felt her chhote has gone far away from her. Arnav wasn't her chhote anymore but Khushi's Arnav ji which makes her envious of Khushi not realising that she was the one who pushed him away from her.
" Rishton mein jahar gholne ki apki purani adat abhi tak nahi gayi Mrs. Malik ? ", The Arnav's sarcastic taunt echoed in whole Shantivan, breaking the silence in the hall meanwhile Subdhara glared at him for insulting her like this that too infront of others.
{ Your old habit of poisoning relationships has still not gone away, Mrs. Malik ? }
" Umar mein bade hone se ijjat nahi milti hain Mrs. Malik, ijjat milne wale kaam bhi hone chahiye na ... ", Khushi who was beside Arnav, interrupted Subdhara's lecture which hurt the prestigious ego of old Malik.
{ Being older in age does not earn you respect, Mrs. Malik , you should also do things that earn you respect ... }
Before matter goes out of hand, Devyani asked Arnav to come in front so that Anjali could tie him Rakhi like every year but stopped hearing him, which shocks everyone including Khushi as she didn't expect to do this.
Arnav : Nahi nani, mujhe nahi lagta Di mujhe rakhi bandhana chahti hain aur naahi mujhe rakhi badwani hain. Rishte jabardasti se nahi nibhaye jaate ...
{ No granny, I don't think my sister wants to tie me a Rakhi, nor do I want to get it. Relationships are not forced ... }
Arnav takes pause to gather himself and spoke after gulping down the lump which formed in his lump and blinks his eyes to control the tears which formed in his eyes as what he was going say would be heartbreaking, not only for himself but also for his sister ...
Arnav : Nahi janta tha ki jo rishta mere liye sabse kimti tha, vo apke liye ghutan ban jayega. Pyar mein manta nahi tha magar apko protect karne ke liye kisi bhi had tak chala gaya ... Mumma ke jaane ke baad apko apni duniyaa bana liya tha maine, magar pata nahi kab hum itni dur ho gaye ki apko apne chhote par hi bharosa hi nahi raha ... Kab yeh guardian angel, ek aise monster mein badal gaya jisne apke innocent husband ko apse chhin liya ...
{ I did not know that the relationship which was most precious for me, will become a suffocation for you.I never believed in love but I went to any extent to protect you … After mumma passed away, I made you my world but I don’t know when we became so far away that you don't trust only your own chhote ... when did this guardian angel turn into a monster who took away your innocent husband from you... }
There was unbearable tension in the surrounding after hearing his emotional rant, no could ever imagine that their haughty ASR has this much in his heart. Devyani couldn't lift her eyes from the floor, feeling ashamed for not being with her Ratna's chhote who has also suffered from the same pain as Anjali, yet she favoured Anjali cause she is a girl and Arnav is a boy, such a hypocrisy ...
Arnav : Sorry for snatching your husband Di, keeping him away from you when you needed him the most ... Think of this as the last rakshabandhan of ours and this is the gift of the last rakshabandhan ...
As soon Arnav completed, the footsteps was heard and found the person standing in front of them, smiling nervously. No one was happy to see him except Anjali and Subdhara. Anjali couldn't control her happy tears and limped towards her husband crossing Arnav, forgetting about the celebration.

A single tear traced a path down his cheek, a silent testament to the depths of his misery. He closed his eyes, going silent as he tried to drag emotion back under where he didn’t need to feel it after he wiped the tears from his cheeks, dragging his fingers along his bottom lashes ...
He marched upstairs needing an escape leaving worried family members except somes. The rakshabandhan was long forgotten for others as well as Anjali dragged her husband to their room with Subdhara following them ...
