Khushi pushed away Arnav slightly and held his collar.

"No! I am not fine! I am distraught, confused and going mad. All...all because of you! Anything happens in your life, you take the liberty to assume anything and then you blame it on me. Maine kya duniya bhar ke gunaaho ka theka le rakha hain?( Have I taken up the responsibility of all the crimes of the whole world?) Mujhe toh abhi tak nahi pata meri galti kya hai ki aap aise hi mujh par ilzaam daalte rehte hain?( I don't even know what was my mistake that you keep on blaming and accusing me?)

But now I know, ASR! Meri sabse badi galti thi ASR par vishwaas karna, unse pyaar karna!( my biggest mistake  was to trust ASR and fall in love with him)!" she said in a frustrated voice.

Arnav looked sadly towards her. Khushi moved away and leant on the table, holding her head.

"Aashi is Anjali 's daughter. Anjali is my room mate and unfortunately, she is the poor girl who was Shyam' s first wife."

"Shyam? Syam babua's first wife! Ooh I understand! Of course she must have left him! I don't know who can bear a person like him!" Arnav chuckled making Khushi giggle.

" Arnav, there is more into the story. We renedered Shyam as a lusty comic character but the truth is that he is the most disgusting person I could ever imagine! What he did to Anjali made me feel murderous towards him! Do tou remember his annoying mother?"

Arnav nodded. " That typical daily soap mother in law!"

" She tortured Anjali like an animal. She made her abort three of her unborn girl children. Before she could kill Aashi, Anjali went to the law and sought help for herself. Anjali's divorce was accepted the very day Aashi was born.

That's why that lady was disgusted that Anjali was educated, she got Shyam stuck in a case. Anjali had demanded lots of money from Shyam to drop that case. Using that money, she came here and started a new life with Aashi." She said sadly.

" Aashi is pretty close to me, since the day I moved here from Chicago. She broke up the term mumma. She calls Anjali Ma and  calls me mum. She keeps pretty interesting ideas in her little head."

Arnav smilingly nodded.

"Trust Indrani to be friends with such people and bring them to marry you. I knew Shyam was a pervert but  I didn't know that he is a criminal! He is gross! You were saved from grave danger!" He smiled.

"Only to fall for a danger like you." she mocked.

"I am sorry Khushi! I just misunderstood and misinterpreted. Khushi, I ... "

"That 's what you always do, don't you? You see things from only your point of view! You don't even make an effort to find the truth. The culprit is always me, right? I am not even given a chance to prove myself! That right to plead innocence which all criminals are given by the law is not given to criminal Khushi under jurisdiction of Arnav Singh Raizada" she eyed him, solemnly.

"I am sorry Khushi! I know I have made mistakes but please forgive me." he said holding her hands.

"You know Arnav if I would have been pregnant with your baby while we were in that illusion of amarriage, I would have loved and cherished it all my life. But to think of it now, if that would have happened after the truth of our marriage came out, I would have aborted the baby. I would never have let the baby of that man survive who has played with my heart! I would never let anything belonging to you be even an inch near me. I don't want to be in contact with you in any way!" she said with an attitude and went out of the room, leaving a distraught Arnav behind.
