-V&A

"Khushiji, kaisi hai aap?" [Khushiji, how are you?] Shyam said, his face contorted into an expression of worry as he stepped closer. "Kya zarurat thi Rani Sahiba ko bachane ki? Woh toh hamare beech bas ek rukavat hai. Yahan hum itni koshish kar rahe hai unhe raste se hatane ki aur aap ho ki hamara kaam aur mushkil kar rahi hai."

[What was the need to save Anjali? She is only an obstacle in our path. I am trying so hard to get rid off her but you are making my task more difficult.]

Khushi shrank back into the bed, anything to get further away from this monster. "Kaise insaan hai aap?" [What kind of person are you?] she shouted, "Chale jaiye yahan se!" [Just get the hell out of here!]

"Nahi, Khushiji, aap hume galat samajh rahi hai. Hume toh bas aapki parvah hai. Aapko khush dekhna chahte hai. Woh khushi jo sirf hum aapko de sakte hai."

[No, Khushiji, you misunderstand me. I'm just concerned about you. I want you to be happy. And only I can make you happy in that way.]

"Kitni baar kehna padega ki door rahiye hamari behen se!" [How many times you need to be told to stay away from my sister!] Payal's voice came from the doorway. She had brought Khushi's medicines. "Aap jaise ghatiya aur gire hue insaan se hamara koi lena dena nahi hai." [We have nothing to do with someone as sick and disgusting as you.]

"Aap ab aisa keh rahi hai. Lekin hum aapse vaada karte hai ki hum phir aap sab ka bharosa jeet lenge." [You're saying this now. But I promise you, I will win back your trust] he said as he walked out.

As soon as he was out of the room, Payal went over to Khushi and hugged her. "Hame maaf kardo ki tumhe inke saath ek hi chhat ke neeche rehna pad raha hai, Khushi. Hum jaante hai ki tum bahut niswaarthi ho lekin apna khayal rakhna kab seekhogi? Yehi wajah thi ki hum tumse naraaz the jab tumne jaldbaazi mein Arnavji se shaadi ki. Par phir hum samajh gaye ki woh tumhari raksha karenge."

[I'm sorry that you have to live under the same roof as this man, Khushi. I know you have always been selfless, but when will you learn to take care of yourself? This is why I was angry with you when you impulsively married Arnavji. But then I understood that he would protect you.]

"Jiji, hum vaada karte hai ki hum apna khyal rakhenge." [Jiji, I promise I will take care of myself] Kushi replied.

"Achha ab davai kha lo aur araam karo. Hume neeche kaam hai." [Okay now take your medicine and rest. I need to go downstairs.]

Payal stepped out into the hallway and found her path blocked. Arnav was standing there. Having seen Shyam walk out of the room, he had ended his phone call but had stopped himself from entering when he overheard Payal talking to Khushi.

"Mujhe tumse bahut zaroori baat karni hai, Payal. Main Khushi aur Shyam ke baare mein jaanta hoon." [Payal, I need to talk to you. I know about Khushi and Shyam.] He said. Payal was happy knowing that she could now speak openly with him and make sure that Khushi was safe. She walked with Arnav to her room so they could talk.

"Hume nahi pata ki aapko sachai kaise pata chali par hum bahut khush hai ki aap sab jaante hai. Humne socha that ki shaadi ke baad woh ghatiya insaan Khushi ko pareshaan karna chhod dega par yeh abhi bhi haath dhoke uske peeche pada hai. Lucknow se."

[I don't know how you found out but I am very happy that you did. We had thought that this disgusting man would leave Khushi alone after her marriage but he still harasses her. Since Lucknow.]
