Payal and her family reached at the hall of Payash sangeet function. As soon as Raizadas saw them, they rushed to greet them except Arnav who was sitting on a chair lost in his thoughts.
Khushi smilingly greeted Raizadas, but she felt her Laad govorner missing. She looked around to search him and finally she spotted him, looking so dull and lost sitting in a corner alone. Her heart ache seeing him like this and her eyes moistened automatically.
"What happened to him?" she rushed to his table. Even being standing in front of him, Arnav didn't realize she was there already.
Khushi sat on the chair beside him, and held his hand to gain his attention. Feeling her touch, Arnav stare at her startled.
"He's really worried over something.. His eyes tells me everything!" Khushi thought as she kept her head on his chest, holding his hand tightly, "You can share everything with me Arnav ji.. Is something bothering you?"

"I need to talk with you Khushi.." Arnav said.
"Now?" she asked. His serious tone was scaring her.
Arnav nodded, "Let's go to my hotel room.."
Both stood up and left the hall. They took lift to the 5th floor and head towards his room. All this while, Khushi was very nervous and scared. Why was he so serious? Why wasn't he saying anything to her? Why was he avoiding eye contact with her? And leaving all this aside, he didn't even compliment her for wearing his favorite red saree.. she thought she would be his centre of attention tonight of this party.. but nothing of what she had thought happened.
Arnav opened the door for Khushi and she entered in the room lost in her thoughts.
"Tell me Arnav ji.. What you have to talk with me?" Khushi asked fidgeting her saree palu as she watched Arnav close the door.
Arnav turned to her, "Sit.."
"No.. I don't want to.. Just tell me fast what happened.. I'm not liking this.. You're treating me as a stranger.. I'm so scared.." she said with tears in her eyes, her cheeks became all red.
"Lavanya came home tonight when I was getting ready for the sangeet function.." Arnav said.
Khushi listened to him with attention, "Why did she came to meet you?"
"Because I had asked her parents to send her to New York so that she get out of our lives and also it would be a punishment for her.. We argued over this but at last when my decision didn't change she.." Arnav stopped.
"She? Boliye na (Tell me)" Khushi asked.
"She called me a Malik.. she said I'm exactly like my father who betrayed my mother and for that she committed suicide.. she compared my mother's story with hers.. and also said that if she commits suicide because of me, it's because I'm worse than my father.." Arnav said.
