"KHUSHI. KHUSHI. NO." Arnav kept chanting her name extending his hand forward while the men held him back. There Shashi saw who was obsessed with whom and who wanted to marry whom so desperately. He shuddered to even think of the consequences if he has had married his daughter to this mad man.

Khushi has walked out of the room several moments ago and after a minute he managed to free himself. He opted to the door only for his way to be blocked by his Nani this time.

"Nani. Please?" He choked blinking back the tears. "How could you do this to me? How could you? You know what she means to me. You know everything then why? WHY?" He started shouting maniacally then. He turned around in circles while saying,

"Whether you all believe me or not, the truth won't change. Khushi is my wife." He pointed to himself.

"I WILL FILE A CASE AGAINST YOU. I WILL TAKE MY WIFE WITH ME. THAT'S MY RIGHT."

His menacing voices sent chills down everyone's spine especially Khushi's who heard it clearly even sitting in other room except Shashi stayed calm neither scared nor intimidated by him. He has fought with his daughter for this deceitful man now he will fight for her with him.

That way Khushi Kumari Gupta made Arnav Singh Raizada get the taste of his own medicine.

It was the same like that day in the penthouse just that there Khushi was the one trying and failing miserably to explain herself while here it was him shouting, yelling, going berserk to prove himself right which he was.. at least this time he was but there was no proof. No one to prove him right. Nothing to support his words. Nothing at all.

Not even his shrewd mind helped him while he stood there breathing hard with his eyes red and nostrils flaring and then his raging wounded eyes met hers. She was peeking in the room hiding behind the wall outside the door. Putting a stone on her heart she stared back fiercely.

Two weeks ago on this very day Arnav Singh Raizada has shattered her beyond repair and exactly two weeks later she did the same without even doing anything but by just keeping mum.

By silence!

He may have won many battles before this but today she won the war and got even with him by all means!

"I may marry you. Yes. You may get rights on me after that. Yeah. But know one thing Arnav Singh Raizada, there will come a day when I will crush all of your dreams right infront of your eyes. You made one promise didn't you? Here is mine. I will defeat you in your own game. If I didn't then I--I will kill myself."

He lurched forward and made a run for the door making them all dumbstruck including Khushi that neither could she react nor run. Before she knew it he was before her and she was in his seize with steel grip of his arms around her waist.

Everyone came running out while Arnav looked down at Khushi smugly while she looked at him terrified as the daze of the winning left her and fear took over as she saw that despite her Babu ji, Akash jiju and Manohar Mama ji's attempts no one could release his hold on her.
