A Month has passed by within a blink of eye ..The conversation Khushi had with Nisha has cleared lot of things from her mind ... She still cannot imagine Arnav has gone through so much ... The Nightmares were definately the reason of his disturbed past ..
She has promised herself that she will ease away all his pain through her Love .. Her Love is enough for both of them to keep going ...
She knows Arnav does not believe in marriage and Love ...may be because of his dreaded past he could not able to bring himself out of it ..  But What she knows that Arnav Singh Raizada is one of true Gentleman who never runs away from his responsibility .. and More to It Khushi Kumari Gupta has fell head over heels  in Love with Arnav Singh Raizada . AND the symbol of their togetherness is growing up inside her ...
Khushi has been quite busy with the Fashion show that is on tomorrow  . She is here at the Venue since the morning checking on the last minute details ..
She was wearing a Short Kurti with a black Denims and her hair tied in a frizzy bun ... She was instructing her team and taking the notes what need to be done .. when she saw Karan coming there 
Karan : Ohh Hie Beautiful ... How are you ?
Khushi : I am good Karan .. How are you .. I never knew that you would be coming here ...
Karan : Yeah .. The Management has sent me to check ..and also you need some help ..
Khushi : Thank You .. But everything  is almost done ...
Karan : Khushi ... I am sorry .. ( Khushi frowned ) The incident you faced at Malik Corporate was not a decent One ... We should have not judge you based on Lewis ... But Khushi .. You should reconsider about your Resignation .. You are a good Employee ..
Khushi : Thank You .. But I don't think I will be continuing with you people anymore .. Not because I hold any personal grudges on you...but Because  I thought to give  myself some Break ...
Karan : Or You are Joining AR ? Your Boyfriend's Company .. You are still in relationship with that Man don't you ..
Khushi : If I would have thought of joining there I would had joined long back ... and about your questions ... I don't change my Relationship like clothes
Karan : But He does .. Look Khushi You are a genuine girl ... Don't fell in the conspiracy .. Even You have suffered Lewis rage because of his hatred toward ASR
Khushi : You are here for Work isn't it Karan .. I know you are trying to be friend with me .. And You are advising for my good but trust me I am good without your Advise .. ( She smiled ) Come let me show you the venue in details ..
*********************
Khushi has returned back to office at the evening and was working on her system  when she saw Ayush standing near her cubicle witha cup of Coffee in his hand ..
Most of the Office Staff has left ..as it is late 7 pm ..but Khushi has to stay to complete the task that is in her hand
Ayush : Coffee .. I thought You will be needing it today
Khushi smiled genuingly holding the coffee from him
Khushi : Thank you so much Sir .. But why do you bother ...
Ayush : There is nothing to be bothered My Dear .... But You should have go back to home directly ... Tomorrow is going to be a hectic day ...
Khushi : I was just calling it a  Day ... Just Few things that needed my attention ..
Ayush smiled as he pulled a chair sitting beside her
Ayush : Khushi ..I seriously want you to join Us .. I don't want to loose a Gem like you ...  You are not just a Good Employee but a Very Good Companion
Khushi : I am just a phone call away Sir .. You can call me whenever you wanted ..
Ayush : but do my son will sanctioned you speaking with me much ? He becomes  a jealous cat sometimes ....( Ayush laughed out making Khushi chuckles )
Khushi : Sir ... Do you really think Arnav can ever do such Henious Act ?  ( she said finally deciding to start the topic ) Molesting Someone ?
Ayush : Khushi ( He asked looking at her )
Khushi : I know ..I know about Swati as well.  But I don't believe this to be truth .. Do you really think Your son can stoop so low ...
Ayush : Khushi ..It's not about What we believes or not ... How can I let it go what we witnessed it ... and Swati's death...
Khushi : Swati was a coward ..sorry for the language .. But I could not bring anything better than this ... She claimed to love her husband but could not able to bring trust on him .. That is redicilous...  and You SIR .. You don't trust your son when he needs you the most .. You have failed somewhere .. apko lagta hai Arnav aisa kuch karenge ... Mereko nahi lagta
Ayush : Khushi ..Somewhere I know Arnav cannot do such things but then circumstances are not in his favor ...
Khushi : Sometimes we became Pawn of the situation .. Ek baat Bolu ..I don't like Astha .... I don't understand how could you trust her going against your son ..
Ayush : I want to trust my son.. Trust me Khushi ... But then I could not .... I could not bring myself to ignore the circumstances ... 
Khushi : You have forced your decision on your Son ..that is not right ..  You would have supported Arnav rather than handing him to the police . You know He is not good at expressing himself and that was a crucial time ..He would have being looking for his family support but then all he get nothing from him ... I am sorry ( She sighed) I might sounds  rude ...
Ayush : Khushi ... I know somewhere I am wrong ... but then I miss him ..  I miss my son ... I don't know will everything gets fine  like before ..
Khushi : why don't you try to talk with him .. I told you ..Nothing is wrong in trying.... Try to clear the distance Sir ...
Ayush : Stop calling me Sir .. It is too formal Khushi ... Call me  Uncle ... You know I would be so glad to get you as my daughter in Law ..
Khushi : You know  Marriage is something your son never believes
Ayush : People changes and I can see lot of changes in him these days .. Khushi are you fine .. You look pale these days ...
Khushi bite her underlip lowering her eyes as she nodded her head
Khushi : I am fine Uncle .....
Ayush : How are you going back home ? Shall I drop you ..
Khushi : Arnav is already waiting outside ...
***********************
Arnav : You are not eating properly ? What is the matter ? Everything Fine ...
Khushi : I am just worried about tomorrow's show .. Hope everything goes well ..
Arnav : And in your tension ..  You are going to keep my baby starve ....( He said glaring at Khushi who pouts fiddling with her spoon before she covers her mouth by placing her palm rushing out of the washroom )
Anny : She must have had some junk again ... .  She is always hungry when it comes of eating Junk ..
Arnav shook his head as he followed Khushi in the washroom ...
*************
Khushi throws up the remaining as Arnav keeps on rubbing her back to ease her down ..
He hold her by her arms as they walked out of the washroom leading her towards the bed ..
He handed over the glass of water to her as she drank
Arnav : Feeling better Now ?
Khushi : Thank you ..  I believe it's the stress ...
Arnav : You are not mantaining your diet properly ? ( Khushi bite her under lips before she said )
Khushi : I just skipped the lunch due to the work pressure ..
Arnav : That is unfair ..Did you forget you are carrying a life ..and You need to take medicines as well .. I won't be tolerating carelessness in this matter ..
Khushi gulped down understanding the anger in his tone...
Khushi : I am sorry ... It won't happen again
