"Nani if you don't mind, then you all can stay in my house.." Payal said to them.
Arnav nodded, "It's a good idea.. you all go and stay in Payal's house for a while, I'm going to Aman's house.."
"I will also go with you.." Khushi said staring at him, as she pulled herself near him as if he would go
and leave her now.
"No, YOU'RE NOT GOING WITH ME.." he said stressing each word.
"But.." she tried to say something, when he cut her by saying to others, "Akash and NK I'm leaving
responsibility of our family with you both.."
Both nodded obediently. "But Chote why are you going to Aman's house leaving Khushi and Aashi alone? Both need you at this moment.."
"Di I have not accepted defeat from that Shashi.. I need to plan something with Aman to get my
rights back.." he said.
"Please let me go with you.." Khushi cried, she clutched his shirt sobbing.
Arnav looked away, "It's better I don't see your face for a while.. I need to forget who is responsible
for my and my family's state right now.."
"Chote.. what are you saying? Gudiya isn't responsible for us to be homeless and lose our wealth now, she just went to save you.. how would she know what Shashi planned? You can't say this to her.." Nani said strictly.
"Aman let's go.." Arnav ignored Nani's comment, and went with Aman on his car. While NK and Akash, took the family to Payal's mansion.
*******************************************************************
"Khushi bitiya stop crying.." Mami consoled her patting her back, Khushi was crying on her lap, "You know how Chote is, he gets angrily easily.. you will see he will come running to you and say sorry.."
"Haan, don't be upset Khushi.." Anjali said.
"He will not come.. he's very angry with me.. he thinks I'm responsible for everything.. I swear I would never do anything to hurt him or you all.. at that moment, I was only thinking about him, about his life.. but he blamed me for losing his property.. I never wanted Shashi to win, neither I'm happy about this.. I know I failed.. I'm wrong.. but I didn't do anything on purpose.. Mami ji I swear.." she
said crying badly.
Nani made a sad look, "We know you Gudiya, you don't need to explain.."
Aashi took baby steps to her mother, whom she was watching her crying for a long time. She saw the family trying to console her, but her mother didn't stop crying.
She buried her small face on Khushi's hair, whispering "Mumma please stop clying.. you cly then Aashi also cly.."
Khushi sat straight on the couch, she lifted Aashi and made Aashi sit on her lap. Khushi hugged the little one close to her heart, Aashi also hugged her back warmly.
***********************************************************
Next day..
"Mumma.." Aashi called Khushi, who was setting her bed.
"Kya hua baby?" Khushi asked her, Aashi came running to Khushi, "Mumma why ale we staying hele?"
Khushi turned to her, her expressions changed, but then she had to control herself and not be weak for Aashi who doesn't even have an idea of what happened to them, she knelt down and pulled Aashi near her, "Holidays.. we came here to spend some days playing with Aashi.. meanwhile Papa is modifying our mansion, when Aashi come back home, she will see everything different.. even her room, Papa will change Aashi's room to a princess one.. exactly like the one you showed to me while watching cartoons, you remember it?"
Aashi smiled brightly, "Leally? Yaaaaay..." she jumped in joy. Khushi smiled faintly seeing her happiness.
"But Mumma I folgot my toys.. how will I play hele? Let's go home to take my toys Mumma.." Aashi asked pouting.
Khushi didn't know how to answer her now, "Aashi.."
"Papa will buy new toys for you.." came a voice from the door. Both turned to the door, and found Arnav standing there.
Aashi smiled, she went running to him. Arnav took her in his arms, and kissed her cheeks, "How are you? Did you had your breakfast?"
Aashi nodded, "Yes Papa.. I'm finey and I eat aloo palatha today.."
"Acha? Won't you serve to Papa? Papa is very hungry today, he wants Aashi to feed him.." Arnav said tickling her belly. Aashi giggled trying to escape from him, "I will Papa.."
"Come downstairs.. I will serve your food.." Khushi said worriedly for him, she doesn't even know if he eat anything yesterday.
"I don't want anything.." Arnav said serious. He left Aashi on the floor, "Go and play with NK uncle my Baby.."
Khushi walked to him, she cupped his face "Please talk with me Arnav.. why are you getting angry with me?"
"If you had listened to Aman's words and informed the police, then nothing of this would have happened.. why did you had to do things on your own? Why didn't you listen to others? Did you saw the consequences now? I lost everything because of you.. I don't know why didn't you use your brain that time? This is your problem, being emotional for everything.." he said and sat on the bed, sighing hard.
"I made you lose everything, then why didn't you leave me for Meera? She would give everything back.." Khushi asked frowning.
"Because I LOVE YOU DAMMIT.." he shouted and stood up, grabbing her by her waist, "Don't you dare speak such thing again Khushi.."
"Then I LOVE YOU TOO DAMMIT..." she shouted with same intensity, "The same way you didn't leave me when Meera was ready to give you your power back, the same way I didn't leave you when Shashi said that he would kill you.. the same way you were scared that Shashi would kill me if you didn't sign on that papers, the same way I was scared when he said that he would kill you if I had informed the police.."
She pushed him away, "Today I promise you one thing, I will prove you wrong Arnav.. If my love made you weak, I will show you that your love makes me strong.. I promise you that I will prove Shashi wrong, and will return your property back to you.. Now I won't cry anymore, this time I will use MY BRAIN!"
Saying this, she left the room wiping her tears away.
