Gupta House.

Khushi informed her father and Aunt that Jha family were here.

Sa:Dev... How are you Man..?

Dev too replied with same joy and both shared a warm hug.

Radha:Arre wah bhai... You are only concerned about your brother huh?

Sashi laughed and soon everyone caught up with each other.
Khushi was more than happy on hearing Anjali's response and also apologized for pulling the act.

Sh:Anju.. Let's tell to everyone...

An:Just another minute Shyam Bhai is on his way..

Shyam nodded and Buaji called everyone for lunch.
While everyone were in middle of the lunch, the door bell rang.

Bu:Khushi open the door...

Buaji shouted from the kitchen.

Jee buaji..

On opening the door, Khushi was surprised to see unknown faces.

The person who was standing in front had many changes in his facial expressions on seeing Khushi.

Uhm.. May I know who are you?

A man was standing behind was about to shout but the first person silenced him immediately .

Leader:You are Doctor Gupta right?

Khushi nodded while the frown of confusion still persisted on her face.

The leader suddenly had a zeal of happiness but controlled himself.

Le:Mam could you please come out for few minutes..

May I know who are you?
Khushi repeated her question but Leader turned to his people.

Le:No need to continue the work... I will return the money to him... And will also pay for all of you... Go for now.

Everyone nodded and made there way out.

What's happening here? Who are you Mister.?

Khushi said, still in a calm tone.

Le:Mam I know you might not remember me... But I'm husband of Rani... She had difficult Pregnancy... You were the one who delivered my daughter Mam... Today she is already 4...all thanks to you Mam.. You came like God to our life..

Khushi was happy learning about her patient yet she couldn't understand why the patient's husband would come to thank her all of a sudden. And she worded her confusion to him.
And his reply made her blood boil.

Le:Mam... We were paid to create scene here in your locality... Questioning someone named Khushi's stay in Raizada farmhouse... The person who paid us wanted us to make sure everyone heard the allegations.. But I didn't know that it is your house . I didn't know you were related to Khushi..

I'm Khushi.

Leader gasped in shock and started to apologize but she didn't give a damn.

What type of work are you doing for living? Is this how you will bring up your daughter? By tainting someone's daughter's character? That too for money?

Le:Sorry mam.. I'm so sorry... I was just blinded by greed... That person paid us hefty amount-

Who is that damn person!?

Le:ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA... He paid us and also sent cctv clip of that farmhouse where you were seen entering and exiting everyday..

Had not Khushi seen Arnav's Anger yesterday, she wouldn't have trusted this person's words. But no... She somewhere had the idea that he won't hesitate to do this. But another part of her reminded her that he himself punished the person who dared to taint his sister's Character. Then how will HE pay for such things?

Many questions were running in her mind but she chose to confirm things later. She warned the Leader to never repeat such greedy stunts again and returned to her home.

She lied that some people were asking some adress when Buaji enquired. On learning that Arnav was going to be here anytime soon.. She chose to observe him and also reminded herself to not to react to anything or else he would become alert about his behavior.

Arnav reached the Gupta house and hurriedly made his way to the Hall.

He was welcomed with the scene of Khushi and Shyam giggling over something while all other family members were in their own talks.

It potrayed a happy family in his eyes.

A family which was being made on the buried love of his sister. He clenched his jaw on seeing Khushi.
No one were actually able to see him as he was still at the door step .

Khushi got a call this made her way to the door while busy in talking on the call.
Arnav who was by now a statue, held her arm from behind while other hand swiftly closed her mouth preventing her scream.

He effortlessly pulled her out to the veranda and pushed her back to the wall and caged her. Away from everyone's view.

Khushi was shocked at sudden actions but again started to analyse his behavior.

So... Finally you trapped him huh?.. And ready to build a family on the grave of my Sister's love... Such back stabbing people.. Aren't we?

He whispered while his hold on her shoulders tightened. But to his irritation, Khushi didn't react to anything. She was just gazing at him critically.

Out of bloody words huh??.. Yesterday you had so many things to spit... What changed today Dr. Gupta?

Khushi didn't reply to his question rather threw another question.

Did you do something that you will be regretting later?
She asked while her eyes held his.

She saw the way his eyes changed from anger to confusion to realisation to a tint of guilt yet again to rage.

You don't have to be bothered about my regret or any Shit.... Be bothered about yourself... Cause soon you will be tasting your own medicine... Betraying me will be the worst regret you will ever have.. Mark my words.

Khushi didn't reply anything. But he could tell her eyes held many emotions... But the dominating one was disgust.

Before he could continue his phone vibrated indicating the call from his sister.

Hello?

Bhai where are you?? Hurry up I'm waiting..

Where are YOU Anju?

Gupta house..

Anjali said while wiping her hands with towel. She continued to talk while returning to the Hall.

Come soon Bhai... We have something to tell you..

Before Arnav could reply, Khushi pushed him forcefully and rushed to the Hall.
