Raizada guest house

Arnav and Khushi room

Arnav let her cry for some time

Arnav - shh Khushi now I am here don't panic nothing will happen to you till I am with you

Khushi just nods her head within hug

Arnav tries to come out of hug but Khushi doesn't allow

Arnav - Khushi you have to take your medicines let me get it

Khushi reluctantly move from him he gets up

Arnav - will be back in a minute Khushi let me get something to eat

But Khushi quickly holds his hand and nods her head not to go Arnav tries to free himself but sees Khushi face which has expression like she would cry any moment

Arnav quickly says okay let me call Aman

On call

Aman - ASR

Arnav - Aman get something to eat for Khushi she has to take medicines

Aman - okay ASR

Arnav and Khushi stayed silent one tired other making him believe she is fine

After 10 mins Aman enters in with a glass of milk and fruits which he brought while returning from medical store

Khushi doesn't even look Aman she hides herself and visibly shiver

Arnav notice change in Khushi

Arnav - okay Aman good night

Khushi didn't even pay attention what Arnav was saying just kept shivering by closing her eyes tightly

Aman just look Khushi once silently leaves from there

As soon as Aman left

Arnav - Khushi tum theek ho (are you fine)

But still Khushi was shivering

Arnav sits beside her and takes her hand which was holding him tightly in his hands and caresses gently trying to make her feel better

After some time

Khushi becomes normal

Arnav decides not to probe about it more he would discuss with doctor and makes a mental note to talk with doctor tomorrow morning as it is really late

Arnav fed her fruits she ate without commenting and then he made her drink milk she silently drank by pouting but did play any tricks

Making Arnav worry with her unusual behavior

Arnav gave her medicines she just gulped them quickly again making Arnav shocked

He make her lay down on bed and started stroking with lots of love making her slip into peaceful stumble (effect of medicine) and he plants a promising kiss on her forehead that nothing would touch her and he will be there for her always

And continued stroking her and staring her with content that she is with him safe and sound and doses off in the same position

Downstairs

Aman could not be able to handle himself after seeing Khushi he started blaming himself and thought this all happened because of his foolish idea and here she was suffering for that and thinks no matter whatever happens he will always be there for her

He double checked everything inside and gets out to check outside security and instruct them and gets in carefully and locks the door from inside and leave to his room but he could not get a wink extremely worried about Khushi's safety

Raizada mansion

living room

Anjali - naniji chote would be back in minutes

Trying to console not knowing why she was behaving weirdly from yesterday

Shyam - haa naniji clam down he can take care of himself

Seeing nani was not paying any attention they sat silently watching each other faces

Knock disturbs the silence

Akash thinking it would be Arnav rushes towards door stating that he would see indeed it was Arnav

Arnav assures Akash with his eyes and walk past him and see everyone sitting in living room and nani was panting mama and mama were claiming her

He rushes towards nani and asusual shouts what happened to you nani you should take care of your self

Everyone calms down Akash signs in relief and shyam was glad he was back (it was shyam who saw Arnav dashing out)

Nani instantly calms down as he see him fit and fine and gets backs to her normal self

Nani - where were you?

Arnav - where would I be?

Nani - that's not answer to what I asked you stop being smart answer me chote with curt tone

Nk, anjali, shyam and Akash were shocked with transformation of nani in seconds

Arnav - where else I would be normally (still not wanting to lie)

Nani - chote

Arnav - jogging

Nani - In this attair

That's when everyone saw what he was wearing Akash started panicking Nk notice it but keep quiet and thinks will talk to him personally then only Arnav realized he was in one of his suits cursing himself for getting caught but he was ASR wasn't he

Arnav - ha tho I have an early morning conference to attend that's why I was early to home than normal time

He replied casually

Though Nani wasn't convinced but wanted to talk more important matter than this

Others were just spectators watching and listening to exchanges between these two

Arnav smartly glancing everyone - what all are doing here this early morning even Nk giving surprising expression

That silence everyone and everyone thought how nani shouted for chote that made everyone think why did nani shout for Arnav like that so

Anjali - Nani why did you shout for chote

Nani - see yourself with that she forwarded some newspaper

Anjali quickly grabs it opens it with so much anxiety everyone apart from Arnav and nani surround Anjali as nani already know what it was but though Arnav wants to he doesn't want everyone to know even he was curious which is not so ASR thing masking his anxiety stands in his place

Everyone peeps into newspaper and stills unable to believe what was written and surprised of the photographs

Seeing them still Arnav gets impatient as he have to get back to Khushi

Arnav - Shouts would anyone tell me what's going on

Anjali like parrot read paper stammering with unusual pauses - ASR Arnav *pause Singh *pause Raizada *pause ki prem *pause kahani *pause lucknow *pause ki galiyo mein
