Reality Check ✔

Part 5

All raizada's are silently waiting outside anjali's room.

Aakash: Please all go home. I will stay with di.

Arnav: No aakash you go. I'll be here, hearing this aakash becomes silent.

Mama: I think aakash is right, we all have to go home. Arnav bituwa, if anjali sees you near her then she will again may stress herself, you cannot help her in this state as anjali doesn't let you near her so it's better if you come with us. Arnav silently nods, what else he can do. Nothing in his hands now, there is no di and no khushi now.

Payal: I too stay with you aakash, said earning a glare from him.

Aakash: You should go home. I am enough to take care of my sister, saying this he turn aside.

Payal is confused by the sudden change in his demeanour and thinks, Why he is angry with me? Is he upset because i hide shyam's truth? If it is then, i am too angry on him for his brother's deeds. How dare he to threaten and marry my sister? It's not the time to think about all this payal, she chided herself. Now she has to take care of family, as khushi too not here.

Shyam is adamant to stay in hospital so he and aakash stays with anjali.

In gupta house,

After they came from hospital all silently goes to their room without speaking anything. Garima and buaji thought to give some time to khushi. Khushi too not in mood to sit and talk. She's fully frustrated. Her thoughts are fully occupied by arnav. When she decide to leave arnav, why his thoughts are not leaving her. From the time she left the hospital, he was the one who was always in her mind. This frustrated her more. So she silently went to sleep. She is lying widely awake on her bed looking at the stars that are hanging in her bed and silently pondering over her decision, "Is her decision is right?? Can she able to avoid and forget him?? Can she able to move on without him?? Can she has the strength to forget him and marry someone else??" her thoughts wandered about all possibilities. She didn't know when sleep took over her.

On the contrast, in raizada mansion arnav is lying in the poolside chair thinking about khushi. He don't know how he's going to woo her. He know it will be very difficult, but he have to do it. It's a matter of life and death for him. After a long wait, happiness knocks into his life, but because of his insecurities, fear, foolishness he lost it before he can feel it. Why always life gives him a tough time? Is it wrong that he fall in love and thought to live with his love? Why his fate always snatch it from him?

While others also wide awake thinking about the sudden turn of events. What all left for them to face? thinking this all spent their night as sleepless and the night too passes away without waiting for anyone. Only time will tell them an answer.

A new day dawn, one sibling is going to get full love while the other will lose all his.

In RM early morning, after getting ready arnav come downstairs and sees all seated drinking coffee in the living room.

Arnav: Nani, i am going to hospital, Are you coming?

Nani: looked up, You do what you want, till now you did that only. Don't worry about me. Others are here to look after me, said coldly and turns to manohar(mama), we have to go to hospital after breakfast. Nk bituwa you first go to hospital and tell aakash to come home and freshen up.

Nk: But dadiji, nannav is going there na he will tell to aakash.

Nani: If you can't go then directly tell me nanhe, don't recommend others who don't have any feelings for others than their anger & ego. They cannot do any good, other than hurting others. Please stay away from them it's for your own good, saying this she went to her room.

Arnav was deeply hurt by this and turns to nk,

Arnav: Go fast nk, aakash must be tired, he went out as soon as he said this.

In gupta house all behaved as if nothing happened, they don't want khushi to remind everything. They will support whatever decision she takes, they cannot force her to anything.

In hospital afternoon doctor checks anjali & tells they can discharge her and further adds,

Doctor: Mrs.Jha thinks Mr.Raizada is the sole reason for her loss. She thinks if he didn't drag her husband, she doesn't follow them and slips fell on that carpet. This all couldn't have happened. She needs a psychiatrist to treat her mental stress on miscarriage and fear about you. Until then please stay away from her Mr.Raizada saying this to arnav, the doctor went out.

Shyam: I'll pay raanisahiba bill. Please from now onwards i will take responsibility of anjali, i want to fulfill all the duty of a husband. After raanisahiba recovers i thought to take her to my home that means her actual home, i bought it in her name by my hard earned money. It's high time i have to leave saleesahib house, said sincerely.

Arnav: No way, i am here for my di you don't need to pay for her.

Shyam: No saleesahib, i want to pay for my wife, not for your di. For me till now she lives as your di only, so please allow her from today onwards she'll live as my wife. I had directly taken her to my house but in this stage, she needs family support so only we live in your house after that we'll leave.

Nani: Ok you pay but living in a separate house we'll discuss this later. Shyam nods and went for discharge formalities.

Arnav: Aakash please look after di carefully while discharge. I wish i'll look after her but it seems to be impossible.

Aakash: You don't worry, she is my di too. I'll take care of her, said in a no-nonsense voice.

Arnav sighed seeing his di getting ready for discharge, shyam and aakash help her while here he is standing from a distance doing nothing but staring at them. He don't know how long he is going to live like this, one side his di fears to see him, on the other side khushi also not talking to him when he called her in morning and the family, they also didn't behave well with him. They are just tolerating him.

He went from there to gupta house to talk to khushi. He parked his car outside buaji house and rings the calling bell. After some time buaji opens the door,

Buaji: Hai re nandakishore, who's there? oh come in arnav bituwa.

Arnav hesitantly enters, garima too come there with shashi in wheel chair.

Arnav: I know i did a grave mistake by forcing khushi into marriage. I should have clarified or investigated the matter before threatening khushi. I am very sorry aunty, buaji, uncle, because of me and that shyam you all had to face lot of taunts and troubles in society. If i didn't release the video that shyam wouldn't have meet you in the first place, you also didn't force to leave lucknow. I am regretting every minute for this. Please forgive me if you can, apologised with bowing head.

They don't know what to say. They always saw a strong arnav who loves his family and held his head high but not like this. They too angry on him for destroying their one daughter's life by threatening to break another daughter's marriage.

Arnav: Can i meet khushi??? he asked hopefully.
