Agar hamari past itni khoobsurat thi, kyun dher kar rahi hai mujhe batane se?!" asked Arnav.
(If our past was so beautiful, what's stopping you from telling me?)

All of a sudden, Arnav winced in pain as he felt the pain returning as he strained his body.

"Shh!"said Khushi. She kissed his forehead to relieve him from the pain. She slowly released herself from Arnav's hold and started massaging his back.

Khushi's (mind) : Mujhe Arshi se baat karni hogi! Shayaad vho mujhe madaad kar sakti hain. (I've to talk to Arshi! Maybe she'd be able to help me.)

After giving Arnav his meds, Khushi headed downstairs to talk to her daughter.

Khushi : Arshi mujhe tumhari madaad ki zaroorat hai. ( Arshi I'm in need of your help.)

Arshi : Ji Ma! Boliye! (Yes Ma! Tell me)
Khushi : Kya tum Arnavji unki yadasht dila sakti ho? Kya tum unse theek kar sakti hai? (Can you help Arnavji regain his memory? Can you cure him?)
Arshi (mind) : Yahi karni aayi thi mein! Iss liye mein India wapaas aya voh bhi dau saal ke baad. But yeh baat mein kaise baatayi aapko. Kyunki aapke paas sawaal hongi joh mere paas jawaab nahi hai. (This is what I came to do! That's why I came to India that too after 2 years. But how do I tell you this?!! Because you'll ask questions to which I don't have answers too!)

Arshi : Lekin Ma... Mein?! I mean you'll had specialist tending to him. Then what happened? (But Ma... Me?)

Khushi : If he's in this state then it's because of Me Arshi! I never told him about his past more to say our past. And I never intended too because he'll be hurt.

Arshi : Ma don't you dare say that! If you hid it from dad then it was because you were afraid of him being aloof from you'll. It happened before so I wouldn't blame you. I understand where you come from but dad wouldn't because he's not in the state too. But that doesn't mean you go on belittling yourself? You don't get to do that! Understand?

With that Arshi hugged her mother. Still remaining in the hug
Arshi : Thodi mushkil hogi Ma! Lekin agar Devimaya aur aap mere saath hai toh yeh mumkin ho payagi! (It would be a bit difficult Ma! But if DM and you're with me then it would be possible!)

Next morning
RM

Arshi got up early and came downstairs as she had to go to AR for work purposes.

She was about to settle herself when she took notice of a face she never wanted to see. She was seething in anger. When their eyes' met they said in unison

Arshi : Tum! (You!)
Shravan : Tum! (You!)
Arshi : Tum mere ghar mein kya karahi ho? Kaha tha na tumse ki mein tumhari shakal bhi nahi dehka na chati. (What are you doing in my house? I told you didn't I that I don't want to see your face?!)
Shravan : Yeh tumhari ghar thodi na hai. Yeh toh ASR ka ghar hai! (This is not your house this is ASR's house.)

All the family members were shocked by the sudden outburst.

Khushi intervened being very well aware that of her daughter's anger.

Khushi : Kya tum dono ek dusre ko jaanti ho? (do you know each other?)

Arshi & Shravan in unison

Arshi : No!
Shravan : Yes!
Arshi ( narrowing her eyes) : Excuse me! Mein tumhe nahi jaanti. Dau yah theen mulakate kaafi nahi hai insaan ko jaane mein! Toh mere saath kohi nakli rishta mat bana! Samjhi tum?
(I don't know you. 2 or 3 meetings is not enough to know a person. So don't forge a relation with me!)

Arshi : Ma!
Shravan's eyes widened in shock.
Shravan : Ma? Yeh tumhari Ma kaise ho sakti hai? (Ma? How can she be your mother?)
Arshi ( irritated as she was interrupted) : Kyun? Tum aapni Ma, Ma nahi pukaar thi? (Why? Don't you address your mother as Ma?)

Shravan stiffened at that but it went unnoticed by her as she turned her attention to her mother.

Arshi : Ma, aap inko kaise jaanti hai? ( Ma how do you know him?)
Khushi : Arshi , aapki dad ne unki business mein invest kiya tha. (your dad invested in his business.)

Shravan (mind) : Yeh toh ASR Aur Khushi mam ki beti hai, Arshi. Hai Rabba meine kya kardi yah? (She's ASR & KSR's daughter, Arshi. Oh God what I've I done?)

Arshi : That still doesn't explain how you know him mom! Because you obviously don't know every client dad works with.

Khushi : Jab voh Delhi aaya... Toh yaha kuchi dinno mein humare saath iss ghar mein rehti thi. Kyunki inke paas ghar nahi thi uss waqt. ( When he came to Delhi he stayed here for a few days. Because at that time he didn't have a house?)

Arshi (enraged) : Kya? Ma aap usse iss ghar mein le aaya kyunki unke paas ghar nahi thi? Yeh kohi hotel nahi hai Ma. Aap usse iss ghar mein le aaya jaha dau jawaan ladkiya hai Ma. ( what? Ma you brought him into this because he didn't have a house to stay. This is not a hotel. You brought him to a house where there are 2 young girls.)

Shravan : Mein...(I)
Interrupted by Arshi

Arshi : Jab mein aapni Ma se baat Kari hoon, toh mujhe nahi pasaand hai jab kohi mujhe interrupt kare. ( when I'm talking to my mother I don't like it when someone interrupts me!)

Arshi : Ma aap usse iss ghar mein le aaya jaha dau jawaan ladkiya hai! Aap yeh Sab kaise hone diya? [taking Khushi's hands in hers] Jab aap jaanti hai kya hua toh aap yeh Sab kaise hone diya Ma? Kya aap nahi sika uss haat se ke baad? ( You've brought him into a house where they're 2 young girls! How can you allow this? When you know what happened then how did you allow for this Ma? Did you learn anything after that incident?)

Shravan : Tum aise kaise soch sakti hai? ( How can you think like this?)
Arshi : Soch toh mein bahaut kuch kar sakti hoon kyunki tum aur tum jaise laug wajah deti hai mujhe aise sochne ki! ( I can think about a lot of things because you and people like you give reasons for me to think like this.)

Shravan : I swear agar mein jaanti thi ki tum ASR ki beti hai toh mein shayaad kabhi nahi karta. ( if I knew you were ASR's daughter then perhaps I wouldn't of done that! )

Arshi : You disgust me Mr Khuranna! Toh uska matlaab yeh hai ki agar kohi aur ladki hai toh tum usse aise pesh karti unke samne!!! ( so it means that if it were any other girl then you'd behave in a similar manner!!!)
Aur agar mein ASR ki beti toh kya hua? Kya yeh zaroori hai ki sirf mein special kartirdari mile laugo se? Aur mein sirf ASR ki beti nahi hoon! Mein Arnav Singh Raizada Aur Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada ki beti hoon! Samjhi? ( so what if I'm ASR's daughter? It's not compulsory that people should give me special treatment! And I'm not only ASR's daughter. I'm ASR and KSR's daughter! Understand? )

Shravan : Tum laug Arshi ko samjaye na! ( You people make Arshi understand )

Arshi : Bado ko aap kehte hai! Aur mera pura naam hai Aarushi Arnav Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. And it's Ms Raizada for you! (Address your elders with respect! And my full name is AAKGSR!)

Khushi : Arshi calm down. You also need to go to office so have your breakfast and then leave.

All sat down at the dining table when Khushi called Shravan to eat.

Arshi got angry and got up.

Khushi : Arshi kaha ja rahi ho? ( where are you going? )
Arshi : To my room!
Khushi : Lekin kahana? (But your food?)

With that Arshi served herself and headed to her room. Shravan found it the proper moment to apologize but the damage was already done.

Shravan : Arshi! I mean Ms Raizada. I'm so.. (Interrupted by Arshi)
Arshi : Save your sorry Mr Khuranna one day you're going to really need it!
With that she closed the door on his face.
