CONFRONTATION

"how dare you attack my husband . who send you ? tell me before I cut your neck " khushi screamed making everyone shocked at her statement .

Arnav hiss in pain distracted khushi and she turned to arnav whose right arm was bleeding . taking advantage of khushi's distraction , the man ran away from her hold pushing her hand holding sword away making khushi fall on the ground clumsily . she commanded her guards to catch him , fortunately he got caught . shashi ordered the guards to lock him up .

Khushi and shyam reaches arnav at the same time ,as khushi tried to hold his arm ,arnav turn his injured arm away from her hold ,making khushi look at him dejected . her eyes wet seeing him reject her help . shyam holds arnav as he was losing his consciousness and take him to the room calling for a doctor . khushi s eyes doesn't leave his form until he enters the room with help of shyam . she feels guilt seeing arnav in such state , if she had come earlier she would have saved arnav from even getting this cut from that , right now the only thing that she can wish for is that poison has not entered in arnav s system .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Khushi rolls on the bed restlessly , thankfully poison didn't spread in much part of his body , doctor has able to take out the poison in time but she knows poisson's effect will continue for 24 hours , hallucinations , extreme pain , feeling that your body will give in any second and only solution is to sleep let your body rest but it is next to impossible to sleep in such conditions she know .

She closes her eyes to take her decision because she know this decision will affect the rest of her life . her eyes open in jolt feeling as if arnav screamed in pain , without thinking for a minute she ran towards the guest room where only male members were aloud . guards tried to stop her saying that it not allowed for princess to come here in stranger's residence to which khushi had replied instantly that there is no stranger but her husband and no one has the right to stop her to meet him .

Khushi opened the door without knocking , her eyes turn moist and her face showing worry lines looking at arnav whose right arm has gotten fully blue and his face showing lighter shade of blue . their eyes meet , khushi saw the raw pain he is going threw her heart sink at the vision in front of her .

"what are you doing here ? at this time of night ." shyam voice pierced through her ears and only then she take look at him who standing by arnav's side taking care of him .

" poison is still in his system , if it remain in his system any longer it can be fatal " khushi said in revere completely ignoring shyam's question . before shyam could ask her anything else khushi ran away from there . shyam and arnav look at each other asking what just happened .

"maybe I should call the doctor , bhai " shyam said as he helped arnav lay down on the bed comfortably . not having much strength in him arnav just shook his head in NO .

"no need to call the doctor . I know what to do " khushi's voice make them look at her surprisingly . she enters the room with a bowl in her hand avoiding the questioning gaze of shyam . she kept the bowl on the table beside the queen size bed , her worried eyes travel to arnav but as soon as her eyes met hers , arnav turn his head away from her ignoring her .

Shyam open his mouth to say something but is stopped midway by khushi as she build up the courage to say her next words

" please leave , I will take care of my husband from now . thank you" khushi takes a deep breath at the end finally voicing her decision . her eyes looking at shyam's as his eyes turn questioning to hurt at her words but nevertheless he stood up to walk , arnav thought to stop him but he knew that shyam needed rest he has been taking care of him all day . khushi closes the door and moves towards arnav , holding the bowl near his mouth that was turned away from her face .
