Aarushi considers herself the cause of Arnav and Aarav's plight. She is immersed in a whirlpool of guilt causing her to separate from her family. What will happen when she is forced to return after 2 years?! Will she be able to stabilize the relatio...
Shantivan, today true to it's name, emitted that peaceful aura. Everyone immersed in the prayer of honoring their loved ones. It wasn't new as it was held every year.
While everyone sat immersed in the prayer, Arnav sat oblivious, staring at the frame that consisted of his parents. Guilt overcame him. He watched as everyone closed their eyes and prayed whereas he didn't know what to do. It's been two years that this prayer has been conducted yet he has no memory of the people who brought him in this world.
He looked back at the frame and analysed it as if preserving it in his memory.
Arnav didn't realize that there were two people glancing at him. Khushi looked at him and could see the plethora of emotions that he felt. Whereas Arshi chose to shut her eyes tight and pray to her grandparents to give her strength.
Later that evening in Arnav and Khushi's room
Khushi entered her room only to witness Arnav staring at nothing in particular, all lost. She knew what he was going through. She still remembers the vulnerable look on his face when he first opened up about his parents.
Arnav : "Kya voh sach much tare baan jaati hai?" (Do they really become stars?)
That look was enough to shatter her.
"Kya mere mumma mere saath khush hai?!" (Is my mother happy with me?)
Given the circumstances back then she couldn't answer him. But now... Now she can say with conviction that she is.
Khushi (mumbles) : Mumma aap ke saath bahaut khush hai Arnavji. (Mumma is really happy with you Arnavji.)
She was brought out of her reverie when she heard him speak.
Arnav : Mein bahaut buri hoon hai na Khushi? Kisse puch raha hoon? (Dryly chuckles) Jis insaan puch raha hoon jisse mein hamesha takleef deta raha! Mere mumma papa ko yaad nahi karna meri saaza hai! Mein bahaut buri hoon. Iss liye voh chale gaya mujhe chor ke. Ajeeb baat yeh hai ki tum phir bhi mere saath hai. Kyun? Mein bahaut buri hoon! (I'm very bad right Khushi? Who am I asking?! I'm asking the person whom I've always inflicted pain upon. Not remembering my parents is my punishment. I'm really bad, that's why they left me. What's weird is that you are still with me. Why? I'm really bad! )
Khushi walked towards him and wiped his tears. She didn't say anything and wheeled him to their bed. She then settled him on the bed and went to switch the lights off.
Arnav thought that she was ignoring him but her next action made him confused she brought with her a remote and settled on the bed. He was about to turn around when she held him by his shoulder. Before he could think about anything he found Khushi lying on his chest.
She reached for the remote and switched on the projector.

Arnav was mesmerized with the view he was greeted with.
