Anjali is seated in the living room when arnav enters dragging khushi along with him…

ANJALI; so you two decide to show up, why don’t the both of you tell me where you spent the night….(she asks unaware of the tension existing between them…but she thinks there must be something wrong by the look on khushi’s face while Khushi looks at arnav wondering where he spent a night if it wasn’t here)

ANJALI; is anything the matter khushi??... (She asks as she looks at arnav’s hand clutching khushi’s)

KHUSHI; why don’t you ask your brother??

ANJALI; chote….what's going on

ARNAV; it’s nothing di

KHUSHI; it’s nothing; you brought me here without my will and you say it’s nothing

ANJALI; chote

ARNAV; keep out of this di

ANJALI; but…(she doesn’t get to complete her sentence as arnav drags khushi up to their room despite her resisting and anjali is left on her own wondering what could have gone wrong with them this time around)
……………………..

KHUSHI; for how long do you intend on keeping me imprisoned here…. (She says as soon as they get to their room)

ARNAV; khushi listen to me

KHUSHI; is it so hard for you to understand that I don’t want to be with you; I can’t even stand you let alone stay here with you…what do you want to attain by keeping me here

ARNAV; I can understand the pain your going through right now but

KHUSHI; no you don’t…you don’t understand me. You can’t even begin to imagine the kind of pain you inflicted on me…if you did, you wouldn’t have brought me here with you…you would understand that I hate you; I hate you so much…may be now I finally understand why your own mother would chose to leave you (as soon as she utters those tears flow out of arnav’s eyes which makes her stop talking…didn’t she want to hurt as much as he had done to her but why does his pain still bother her when it shouldn’t..)

ARNAV; you can hate me all you wish khushi; at least I have your memories, my love. You can’t take them off even if you wanted to. Am not ashamed to cry for you khushi; am not ashamed, because when you love like how I love you tears are the witness to that lost love. Now my life is in chaos and I’d like to understand why you don’t want to be with me, fix things and be happy.

KHUHSI; fix things and be happy; that too with you…do you think it’s that easy to forget all the pain you caused me and start all over with you…it might be easy for you to ignore everything you did but not on my side because am never going to forgive you; never

ARNAV; you know never is just an “ever” with an “N” in front of it…(he says making khushi feel more frustrated wishing to bang his head with something really hard)

KHUSHI; let me out here

ARNAV;I wont; I know i don’t deserve your forgiveness; that am very much aware of khushi…so you don’t have to worry about forgiving me…it’s my punishment for what I did..i will be burdened with that for the rest of my life but it doesn’t matter your not leaving my side and if keeping you here against your will is what it takes then so be it khushi…your going to stay as my hostage till the day you finally realize you don’t actually hate me

KHUSHI; what do you think of your self

ARNAV; we have been arguing till the time I got you from your house to here…I think we both deserve a break
