Khushi and Arnav went to their room. Arnav closes the door.
Arnav: how are you khushi?are everyone treating properly?
Khushi: ji. Everyone are treating properly. how are you?
Arnav: I am fine. Sorry khushi i left you and went. I can't see you suffering infront of me. How many times i tried but i couldn't stop. On top of it, the promise. I hate seeing that Shyam. I don't know till how long I will keep the truth away from everyone. Am gonna reveal it.
Khushi: no arnavji, di is pregnant. Don't tell her now. After I leave, you tell her.
Arnav : what do you mean you leave?
Khushi: Arnavji, after our contract finishes i have to leave na. If you say then, I won't be their and i won't be remainder of di's past then.
Arnav: Khushi, no you are not going anywhere. Why do you have to leave? You can stay here.
Khushi:You know why I want to go and for what?
Arnav : I know Khushi. For that ,Why do you have to leave me? We will say everyone that we will go for a trip and after your work is over we can return.
Khushi: no arnavji, at that time di's delivery date will be near, how can you leave her and come with me? Anyway i accepted to stay with you for this six months only because you said you won't interfere in what i do after that. I called the doctor, he said me to join the next day after our contract ends.
Arnav: Khushi, the rest of the family members are there to take care of di. What about you? You don't have any one with you. At the same time you also have your delivery date. I am coming with you and thats final.

Khushi: arnavji, please listen to me.
Arnav: leave it khushi. Now tell me why did you leave this room and staying in some other room?

Khushi was shocked to hear that question .

Khushi remembered why she shifted to another room.
Flashback:
After arnav went, one day dadi came to the room to see khushi sleeping on the bed.
Dadi: khushi!!!
Khushi jerks from her sleep and sees dadi standing before.
Khushi: dadiji, apko kuch chayeiye tha? App is waqt yahan?
Dadi: khushi, aj se tum yahan nahi rahogi. Arnav bitwa yahan nahi he. Jab tak unhe nahi aya tab tak tum idhar ek naukar jaise rahogi nahi tho teri jiji ji ki shadhi thod detha hoon.
Khushi: ap jiji ki shadhi ko kuch mat kijiye. Ap jo bi kahoongi main karoongi. Teeke dadiji , i won't stay here.

Arnav: khushi kahan ko gayi ho.
He waves his hand in front of her.
She realizes that she is standing in front of arnavji.
she didn't want to tell him the truth lest arnavji won't spare dadi.
So she manages something.
Khushi: woh arnavji, mujhe akele main sona dar lagtha hai, islliye mein dusra room shift kiya. Waha, dadiji raat me mera sath sothi thi.
Arnav: theek hai khushi, ab main agaya hoon, tu ja kar so ja.
Arnav and khushi slept at either side of the girl who is sleeping.
Khushi could not sleep .
Today so many things happened .
she saw her arnavji today along with the person who she thought is no more.
Khushi could not belive that the person is alive and sleeping next to her.
She turned towards arnav. Saw him sleeping.
She remembered the day, all this started.

She takes the man to the hospital.
The man is unconcious.

Khushi waited for him to gain conscious.
She doesn't who the person is and don't about his relatives.
So , she waited there.
