Arnav parks his car inside the gate…and stares at khushi who is fast asleep now…waking her up wouldn’t be a good idea especially if she is still drunk…he lifts her up in his arms and walks towards the house…he knocks the door and it is opened by a servant…he is walking up the stairs with khushi in his arms when anjali calls out to him

ANJALI; chote…what happened…is she okay

ARNAV; why wouldn’t she be…di she is fine…she is just tired from the party..i didn’t want to disturb her sleep…that’s all and why are you still up

ANJALI; I came to fetch some water…but chote are the two of you fine

ARNAV; we are…

ANJALI; chote

ARNAV; stop worrying so much di…we are just going through the ups and downs of our marriage…have some sleep di…

ANJALI; If you say so…

It’s the following day and khushi wakes up feeling a sharp pain in her head…yesterday’s events keep flashing in her head and the last thing she remembers is kissing arnav…did she really do that or is her mind playing tricks on….

KHUSHI; think of the devil and he appears….(she says as soon as arnav enters the room…)

ARNAV; I heard that…

KHUSHI; you were supposed to…

She stands up from the bed only to realize her attire…this wasn’t the dress she was in yesterday at the party…then that means….he must have changed her

KHUSHI; you did this…she says pointing at her dress

ARNAV; you were uncomfortable…that’s why

KHUSHI; am not asking you the reason …who gave you the rights to undress me

ARNAV; instead of thanking me your reproaching me…what did you want me to do…call hariprakash to come change you…but if it helps I didn’t see a thing…I mean I didn’t see that much

KHUSHI; you

ARNAV; here have this…it’s for your hangover ….(He holds out the glass of lemon juice to her but she pushes it out of her sight and it ends up falling onto the ground…arnav stares at her dumbfounded…

KHUSHI; am sorry

ARNAV; what?

KHUSHI; am trying to apologize to the glass I just broke…did it go back to how it was before…it didn’t. Do you not understand arnav…it’s pointless…you keeping me here…you broke me and no matter how much you’re going to apologize the damage is already done…nothing is ever going to be the way it was before…am like this glass shattered in pieces…I saw you in my dreams and you would try to hurt me…but I would say to myself it was a just nightmare khushi….but I didn’t know that it was my reality…if you truly want me to be happy then you will stay away from me…because each time I look at you am reminded of my pain…all I see is nothing but betrayal and pain

ARNAV; you know I can feel the pain you carry around and I wish there was something I could do to help you let go of it

KHUSHI; just let me be arnav…all I want is to be away from you

ARNAV; will you be happy is I let you go

KHUSHI; yes….

ARNAV; you’re such a liar khushi…even if I stay away…even if we are miles apart…that won’t keep me from your heart…you can’t fight the rain when its already falling…you can’t hide the truth from yourself when you already know it
