"Yes, I am in love with you. I've been in love with you for the past 14 years, ever since the first day I saw you. You probably haven't noticed since you're always thinking about yourself! I don't know what these past couple of months meant to you Arnav, or those small moments throughout all the years we have known each other but they meant something to me. I want to be with you. I want to spend my life with you. I have these stupid dreams about you Arnav! I accepted the same University as you, because I thought we could possible be together even then!! I have been hoping that just maybe, one day we'll get married and have kids. We'll grow old together and watch our grand kids play by our porch. Why is that Arnav?? Why can't I picture myself with anyone except you?" she asked desperately, tears streaking down her face. "I've never felt like this for anyone Arnav. And obviously, the one person I do feel it for, doesn't give a damn!" she said pushing him. She turned to leave, but Arnav grasped her hands, and pulled her to his chest. "Khushii listen to me. I'm sorry. These past couple of months were fun, but it was just a good friendship going on between us. One day, you'll move on and find someone who trulyloves you. We could never have that future Khushi, I'm sorry you feel this way." replied Arnav, his voice sounding much calmer than the one in his head.

In this story, Khushi doesn't leave Delhi nor begs him to take her back, when Arnav Singh Raizada breaks her cliche wedding dream, the 2nd time. They slowly learn to live in inevitable presence of each other. This story is not typical sob story of Khushi who takes all bullshit from ASR nor she is suddenly glammed up modern diva to give it all back. This one just lives her life to fullest as she was meant to. A Happy Butterfly Arnav starts his journey as a father in a completely hostile environment, trying to become a husband BUT the problem is - His wife has already learnt how to survive without one.
