They were seated in a private lounge in the Sheesh-Mahal Hotel. Arnav had picked her up from near her house an hour ago. The ride from Gomti sadan had been so quiet that Arnav was forced to check from time to time whether he still had Payal with him in the front seat of his SUV.
"Bhai.." Payal whispered
"What is happening Payal?" Arnav asked
"At least in front of me... At least here don't act like you don't know anything Bhai! Not when I know everything!" Payal exclaimed
"Payal.. I swear on Khushi I don't have any idea what you're trying to say" Arnav explained patiently
Payal looked at him confused.
"What? You honestly think I'll sit idle in my room or interact with my family instead of doing what I'm supposed to do?" Arnav asked amazed
"You.. Mean?" Payal tried to grasp the meaning of his words.
"I haven't been staying at home for more than 3 hours a day Payal.. I have constantly been working through all this.. I want this mess cleaned too" Arnav said softly
"So.. You have no idea of what a ruckus has been created in your absence. You.. You don't know what Khushi is going through do you?" Payal asked audibly shaken
"What's... What's wrong?" Arnav asked
Flashback
"Kuch nahi hoga Amma... Chot se farak nahi padta ab.. Pehle se bahut zakhm khaa chuke hain hum (Nothing will happen Mother... Wounds don't affect me anymore.. I'm already too bruised)" Khushi said weakly. Just then, A small piece of glass pierced her hand.
"Khushi... Didn't I tell you to let me do it" Garima said
"Arnavji..." Khushi called her eyes searching that one face everywhere and failing
"Arnavji..." She got up.
"Khushi... Aage kaanch hai, (Khushi... There's glass ahead,) Don't move" Payal said while clearing her path taking away any glass pieces.
"Arnavji... Kahaan hain aap!(Arnavji... Where are you)" Khushi asked frantically searching the source of that voice
Payal and Garima shared a horrified look
"Khushi... Koi nahi hai (Khushi... There's no one)" Payal said
"Jiji... Aapko awaaz nahi aa rahi?(Jiji... Don't you hear the voice?)" Khushi asked
"What voice..? There's no one Khushi" Garima said
Khushi looked up to meet her mother's eyes. "Par... Abhi woh mujhe- (But... He just-)" She said
"Koi nahi hai.. Khushi. Koi awaaz nai hai (There's no one.. Khushi. There's no voice)" Payal cut her off
"Jiji... Woh-(Jiji.. He-)" Khushi swayed and collapsed on the floor
"Payal... Is she-?" Arnav half asked
Payal shook her head in helplessness
Arnav sighed "What the hell!!!" He whispered
"Payal.. But. She.. Why's she behaving.. She's not supposed to behave like that Payal... She knows... She knows everything!!" Arnav exclaimed shocked
