It's almost two months, since Khushi started living separately from Raizada-s and Gupta-s. Arnav and all tried their best to take her to their homes, but she didn't change her decision. She took help from NK asking him to rent a flat for her, which he obliged happily on one condition that she should allow him to stay with her. She accepted with a smile and they both started living in same house.

Arnav almost killed NK when he rented the flat for Khushi and himself. Arnav made a big ruckus about this issue. When he was about to punch NK, Khushi came in between and stood silent looking at Arnav. The question her eyes held - 'don't you trust me still?' - killed Arnav one more time. He closed his eyes controlling his emotions, left from there saying sorry to both Khushi and NK.

In these two months Khushi recovered lot better. Her voice is almost back. But doctor suggested her not to talk much like before. Physically she became healthy. As she never knew about her attacks, she thought she was weak. It helped her greatly to come to normal state. NK took her to hospital daily for her sessions with psychiatrist, which helped her to become normal. She thanked NK for being there for her.

"NO thank you NO sorry between friends Khushi ji" NK said in Salman style making Khushi laugh whole heartedly.

Payal helped her financially, telling it's not Arnav's money but Akash's. With so much explanation from Akash's side, Khushi agreed to take their help. She knew, if she let her ego to control her, there won't be any survival for her now. So, she accepted their help much to both the families relief. For every three days everyone of her families, came to visit her. But still she maintained her distance from them knowing if she behave normal with the families, it will hurt Arnav.

For Arnav it took one month to gather courage to come and stand before Khushi to ask forgiveness, knowing she preferred his absence in her life. Arnav was shocked to know that Khushi preferred to stay away from him. He was terribly hurt knowing she preferred her mind than her heart, knowing she preferred her hatred and fear than her love towards him. He know how much difficult that's for her to choose.

He can clearly understand how confused she was to take that decision and how much painful for her to choose to stay away, knowing how she can never be able to stay away from her loved ones. He can understand how much she must have struggled or still struggling to stay away, knowing her selfless love towards her families. Isn't that quality which made him take that drastic step of their marriage? But still, she chose to stay away from her love, not because it will do good to HER loved one... but because she is scared, she is scared of the monster named Arnav Singh Raizada and his anger. She felt tired of being insulted by the monster, she felt tired to be heartbroken every time she hopes. She felt tired of becoming orphan again and again. She felt tired making others understand. So, she chose to leave, she chose to stay away from the monster and everyone. She chose to stop living and loving again. She chose to be lost rather than living in a hell with a devil... what she calls him? Yeah... rakshas...

After asking forgiveness from her once, Arnav used to come daily to see her and to know her well being. He asked her forgiveness and waiting for her acceptance. But she never gave any response to him, fearing about another heartbreak. Arnav, who understood her fears well, didn't push her much. But never stopped coming to visit or asking forgiveness. After spending little bit time in her apartment along with her and NK, he understood why she took that decision. He can clearly understand how scared she became around him and how free she stays around others. He can clearly understand how badly he shattered her heart. How can clearly understand how much he lost in his anger and fears...
