Arshi is shocked but she composes herself quickly.

Arshi : Morning Dad! How are you?
Arnav : I'm fine! How are you?
Arshi (goes forward and takes his blessings.) : I'm okay dad! ( she gets emotional.)
Arnav : Tum jaanti thi ho ki yeh sab karna zaroori nahi hai! ( You know that it's not necessary to do all this, taking my blessings.)

Arshi turns to Khushi.
Arshi : Mom thodi dher ke liye humme akela chor do. Hume dad kuch zaroori baat karni hai. ( Mom can you please leave us alone for a while? I need to talk to dad.)

After Khushi left, Arshi locked the door and turned to sit down.
She chose to remain silent for the first few minutes as she saw her father caressing a frame. She could see so much emotions in those eyes.
Wait a minute, was that pain and  longing she saw in his eyes?!
Arshi (Self talk) : Damn what have I put him through?! What have I put them through? Bearing their hatred would of been easier, rather than been the cause of their pain. Ab chahe kuch bhi ho, mein inn dono kabhi alaag hone nahi dungi. ( Come what may, I'll never let these two apart.)

Arshi took Arnav's cold hands in her warm ones, making him to look at her.

Arshi (in a soft tone) : Dad exactly hua kya tha?! ( Dad, what exactly happened?)
Arnav : This happened a few days before I called you. Khushi was busy in our room.

Flashback

Khushi had her back facing Arnav. He slowly wheeled his chair so that she doesn't notice that he is behind her.

Arnav : Agar tum hamare shaadi se itni na khush hai, mujhse na khush hai, toh chor kyun nahi deti mujhe?! ( if you're so unhappy with our marriage, with me, then why don't you leave me?)

Khushi was shocked and turned to leave but ended up falling on his lap. Both their eyes reflected pain.

Arnav : Mein tumhe girne nahi dunga Khushi, trust me! Lekin kya tum mujhe girte hue dekh sakti ho? Kya tumhare liye itna ahsaan hai?! Kya tum mujhe uss dard se nahi bacho gi? Humme nahi bacho gi? ( I won't let you fall Khushi, trust me! But can you see me fall?! Is it so easy for you? Will you not save me from that pain? Won't you save us?)

Kyun dard hai itna tere ishq mein?! Rabba ve Rabba ve Rabba ve Rabba ve....

Khushi is on the verge of crying but she quickly composed herself.

Khushi : Agar mein chup hoon, toh uska yeh matlaab nahi ki mein hamare shaadi ko lekaar khush nahi hoon. In fact mein chup hoon, kyun ki mein aapko jaanti hoon! Agar mein aapko baatyegi hamare past ke baare mein, toh phir aap mujhse dhoor... [Khushi remembered what she was about to say] (if I'm silent then it doesn't mean I'm not happy with our marriage. In fact I'm quiet because I know you. If I tell you about our past then you'll distance...)

Khushi (self talk) : Agar mein aapko sach baatogi toh aap aapne aapko mujhse aur Sab se door jaugi phir se. Aur pechle bhaar ki tara, mujhse bardash nahi kar paugi.  ( If I tell you about our past than you'll distance yourself from everyone and me again. And like the last time, I won't be able to bear it.)

Khushi (to Arnav) : Aap ki baalayi isse mein hai. Mein samajh (I'm doing this for your wellbeing. I understand) ... (Intervened by Arnav)
Arnav (angry tone) : ...samajh Sakti hoon? Keep that to yourself Mrs Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada! Kyun ki sach toh yeh hai ki koi kuch nahi samajh tha. ( that you understand. Keep that to yourself Mrs KASR because the truth is that no one understands a damn thing.)

Everyone comes to their room as they heard Arnav shouting.

Anjali : Chote aap kyun chila rahi hai? Kya hua? ( Arnav why are you shouting? What happened?)
Arnav : Di aap hi baataye, kya mujhe aapni past jaane ka haq nahi hai? Kyun sab nahi bata rahi hai. Mujhe jaana hai. (di you tell me, don't I've the right to know about it? Why ain't anyone of you telling me? I want to know.) Aur Khushi voh keh rahi hai , meri baalaye iss me hai. ( And Khushi says that my wellbeing lies in this.)
Arnav : I don't understand how!
Why can't she understand a simple thing dammit?! Ki mein usse takleef mein nahi dekh sakta. Aur haar bhaar ki tara voh baat badal jaati hai. Mein baas uske saath khush rehna chati hoon. Iss me harz kya hai dammit? (He said that giving deadly glares to Khushi.) [ I can't see in pain. And every time she changes the topic. I just want to be happy with her. What's the problem in that dammit?)

Khushi walked out of the room as she couldn't take it anymore. Her dam was going to explode any minute. Arnav sensed that and cursed under his breath.

Anjali : She loves you too much to let you go or to see you in pain. So trust her with yourself and try to see yourself through her eyes.
Arnav : But di...
Anjali : Hamari baat abhi poori nahi hue chote. (I'm not done yet chore.) She's right in her way,as she doesn't want you to stress. Trust her enough as she's the one who brought light into your dark world and pulled you out slowly. And don't lash out on her the next time. Aap dono ke liye aachi nahi hai.(it's not good for the both of you.) Rest now, we shall talk,later.

Flashback ends.

Arshi : Dad, why did you ask ma to leave you? You're her everything...
Arnav : If I'm her everything than so is she. I only said that to make her let go of her stubbornness but it won't go that easily and it ended up in both of us getting hurt.
Arshi : After all she's your wife. Then stubbornness is bound to be there. (she chuckles trying to suppress her emotions.)
Arnav : Very funny.
Arshi : Waise mera number aapko kisne diya? (Who gave you my number?)
Arnav : Ayaksh ne. ( Ayaksh did.)
Arshi : Bhai ne? Kya voh jaanti hai ki,aap mujhe yaha bulaya?! (Bhai did? Does he know that you called me here?)
Arnav : Haan. Voh sab jaanti hai. (Yes he knows everything.)...
Arshi : Kya?! Toh iska matlaab yeh ki sab hamare baare mein jaanti hai. ( what?? So everyone knows about me?)
Arnav : Ms Arshi Arnav Singh Raizada mujhe aapni poori baat suno aur phir aapni conclusions bano okay?! ( Ms AASR first listen let me complete what I've to say then draw up your conclusions.)
Arnav : In order to get your number I'd to tell him on the condition that no one will come to know about it.
Arshi : Okay. Dad?! Aap mujhse naraaz ho? (Are you angry at me?)
Arnav : Shuruvaad mein tumpe bahaut gussa tha. Abhi hoon!
(At the beginning I was very angry. I still am!)
Arshi (looking down): Kya aap mujhe kabhi maaf kar paugi?! (Will you ever be able to forgive me?)
Arnav : Yeah if you can give me a tight hug now.

Arshi looks up, bewildered and quickly hugs her father and in that process his beard tickles her cheeks. She felt at home being in her father's arms.

Arshi ( coming out of the hug) : Waise aapni dari kyun raki?!
(Why did you grow a beard?) Aap apna khoobsurat sa chehra kyun chupa rahi ho?! ( why are you hiding your beautiful face?)
Why don't you shave it?
Arnav : Taaki sab mujhe seriously lele.( so that everyone takes me seriously.) And as far as shaving it off is concerned, I will only do that when your mother asks me too!!!
Arshi : Excuse me!!
Arnav : You heard me!!
Arshi : Did you have your meds and did you eat?
Arnav : Your mother doesn't default in that Arshi. Phir bhi I, don't know why she's not telling me anything.
Arshi : Okay then , now you need to rest. Take care. I will see you later.

Arshi leaves and goes to her room

Self talk : Dad ko aise baat kar rahi hai jaise ki voh apna yadaasht khoya nahi. Shyaad ma ka pyaar unki laad governor ke liye usse uss pyaar ko bhool nahi payi?! Ek Aapna pyaar ke liye laaraha hai aur ek aapni pyaar raksha kar rahi taakhi voh usse dard na mile. Par inn sab mein voh aapni aapko dukh de rahi hai. Akir ISS PYAAR KO KYA NAAM DOON?!! 💘🌹🌹🌹 ( Upon hearing dad talking, one can never say that he lost his memory. Maybe mom's love for her laad governor never made him forget. One is fighting for his love whereas the other is protecting her love from pain. But in all this she's inflicting pain upon herself?!
After all...
WHAT NAME SHOULD THIS LOVE BE GIVEN?! 🌹🌹🌹💘
