Shashi-I won't let Khushi stay with that man, not now.. He does not deserve her.. He can never keep her happy..
Shashi made his way out..
Garima and Buaji rushed and followed..
Garima-Wait!!
Buaji closed the doors fast before Shashi could walk out..
Garima made him sit on the Sofa in the drawing room, trying to calm him.. She sat next to him rubbing his arm.. Buaji got his medicines and water..
Garima-Calm down.. First have these..
Shashi denied, but Garima made him have his medicines.. Neither of the ladies were sure what to do, how to stop Shashi..
Buaji-Khushi ab Amma banne waali hai, kuch toh soch ke chalo.. ( Khushi is going to become a mother, think before react.. )
Garima-Aap dekhe naahi, kitni khush thi hamri Khushi?? ( Din't u notice Khushi's happiness?? )
Shashi turned to Garima.. Garima nodded in yes..
Garima-Aur aisa bhi naahi hai ki Arnav Babua ko kono pachtava naahi hai, hum ko maalom hai.. ( And it is not that Arnav Babua is not regretting, he is! I know! )
Buaji-And Shashi, tell us one thing.. We also misunderstood Khushi back in past, that means she should not talk to us either?? Neither could u, neither could any of us believe Khushi that time, what not did we tell her??
Shashi remembered his helpless state of paralysis, though he was paralyzed, that can't be taken as an excuse for letting Khushi go through the sorrow she went through.. He felt himself responsible too somewhere, though Khushi never though it this way..
Buaji-U were paralyzed and so, helpless.. I can understand ur anger, u are her father, I too was angry.. But.. *sigh* Arnav Babua too thought of his sister and went helpless.. He is regretting it now, at least give him a chance, for Khushi!
Shashi knew the ladies were right.. He calmed down, Garima pressed his hand, and Shashi saw her with tears rolling down his cheeks.. Garima nodded in no and wiped them off..
Garima-He loves our daughter very much! I know, he is my son!
Shashi-I can't forgive him so easily Garima, Khushi.. Khuushi!!
He looked down crying and hitting his head for his daughter's fate.. Buaji too cried..
Buaji-Shashi babua.. Garima, take him in..
Garima nodded.. The storm passed..

Next Day..
Khushi woke up, to see her husband come in the room.. ASR was carrying a tray containing toast and juice, morning breakfast for his pregnant wife!
Khushi-What is all this??
ASR looked up..
ASR-Oh, so u woke up, good!
He sat next to her..
ASR-I had a talk with doctor Kalpana, about ur routine check ups and all.. She told me about ur morning sickness and all, so this..
Khushi smiled.. ASR is being so gentle, so caring..
Khushi-Thank u Arnav ji, but, I am ok right now.. No vomit or nausea..
ASR-Just have it..
Khushi-But.. Am just up!
ASR-So? Wait, water first??
He gave her water, and fed her later.. Khushi felt light and smiled at the same time.. She was given the special treatment she wished, and deserved too.. Once done, ASR got the mess on bed cleaned by HP..
Khushi got up..
ASR-Careful Khushi, why u got up?
Khushi raised her brows..
Khushi-Um, washroom..
ASR-Oh. Okay.. Let me take u, u are very clumsy..
Her eyes went wide, ASR bit the tip of is tongue..
Khushi-Excuse me? What, did u just say? U mean I am irresponsible? Arnav ji?
She saw him with disbelief..
ASR-What the!
ASR shut up, and let out a sigh.. Khushi looked away pouting and a bit angry, and sad..
He understood her mood swings..
ASR-I, am sorry..
She saw him, and looked away.. May be this wasn't an easy catch!
ASR held his ears, she saw gasped, and nodded in negative and immediately stopped him..
Khushi-I, know.. It's okay, I'll be more careful.. U don't, have to hold ears..
She got his hands down.. He nodded..
ASR-Get fresh, ur cloths are already there in, go..
She nodded, and went.. He followed her until the bathroom.. Khushi turned..
Khushi-What? U will come inside also or what?
ASR thought of something, and..
ASR-Why not? What if there is a cockroach inside?
He chucked, she flared a nose..
Khushi-Very funny! I, I am not scared of all that now..
She went in, he nodded in denial and smiled and went to the poolside.. ASR made a few official and personal calls.. He talked to Aman about handling a few meets, and then dailed his Mama ji to know Anjali and her son Ansh's status..
Things went well on call..
***
Same Day.. Hyderabad City..
Anjali with Mami and Mama ji went to the Hyderabad Hospital and got herself and Ansh checked.. Dr. Rahul is the in-charge of their case..
Ansh was just a little weak, else Dr. Rahul assured, Ansh will survive to grow in to a healthy boy, Anjali was the most happy.. Mami was there to understand and comfort Anjali..

Raizada Mansion.. (Delhi)
Afternoon..
Nani had kept a small puja for family's betterment and happiness.. She wanted to thank God for Anjali's happiness, and her Son's health, including Khushi and Arnav's relationship and their expecting member, and Aakash - Payal, and all..
Khushi was sitting on the dining table as ASR had strictly instructed her to not near the temple, else he knew Khushi would start to work.. ASR helped Nani in every little bit which Khushi would have done anyway..
Though ASR knew nothing about all this, Khushi appreciated his efforts, he was doing all that for Khushi should rest, she smiled understanding what all this meant to him, and how much important she was for him today.. Khushi smiled feeling nice..
Puja went well, but when Nani went to give Prasad to Khushi, the plate fell from Nani's hands and the light of the diya too blowed off, Nani gasped, that's bad luck..
Khushi too got hyper but ASR handled it by lighting another diya, and instructed HP to clean the sweets from the floor..
Khushi's heart started to sink.. ASR understood her face reading it once already..
***
Night.. ArShi Room..
Dinner was done and Khushi was still lost in those negative thoughts of what happened post puja down.. ASR knew it.
ASR-Khushi, sleepy??
Khushi nodded in no and was going to bed, when he stopped her..
ASR-The wait.. Come..
He held her hand and took her out to the Poolside..
