Gloomy Gupta's finally reached Gupta House in Lakshmi Nagar. In the cab no one talked to each other, every person had their own set of questions and every one knows that the only person who can answer them is Khushi. But is it right to question her now when she herself is disturbed. What about Payal? It was her Big day, she was going to step on the new journey of her life but what happened, It was destroyed, again. Whose mistake, was it? And the answer is, it is their own mistake.
Yes, it is their mistake, don't they know about the Raizada's, don't they know about Manorama's nature and what she thinks about middle class people. Didn't she humiliate them enough whenever they met each other. But they thought that Akash loves Payal enough to take a stand for her and support her. But there were signs that he will not support Payal and stand by her side, why did they neglect them. If they did not neglect them, then she would not have faced this day.
What happened they cannot change but that doesn't mean they would let one daughter stay indoors away from the world and the other would face the world alone. No, they let that happened once, they will not do that again and support both their daughters no matter what.
"Khushi betiya" called Garima once everyone entered the house seeing her daughter rushing inside her room. Khushi was going inside when her amma called her, she doesn't want to face anyone right now because once again because of her, her jiji's marriage broke and right now she wants to be alone which did not happen because she knew she has to answer their questions.
Khushi turned around and Garima wheeled Shashi beside the couch and sat there and patted place next to her. Payal and Buaji sat on the single chair, Khushi silently sat their ready to answer all the questions asked by them.
Garima taking a hold on Khushi's hand and started "betiya, we don't know exactly what happened that those people to accuse you but before that any of us are not pointing at you for the broken marriage, we might had done that before but now we know the reason is not you."
"How can you say that Amma? I am the sole reason..." said Khushi but Payal interrupted and said "No Khushi, you are not the reason it's them who did that and accused us all without even hearing our side. Did any of them give you or us a chance to tell exactly what happened? No, they just believed that man and said we are all wrong and that so called ex-fiancé of mine said that we misunderstood them, they were not even ready to hear a word against them and want to follow their "order". What does they think of us "SLAVES", shame on them."
"Payaliya, calm down. Let them think whatever they want but we know what are our daughters are and we are confident on our upbringing, that you both will not do any such thing that will let us down. Now Titaliya tell us exactly what happened," said buaji.
Khushi narrated what happened on the terrace but didn't say a word about any of the conversation between Arnav and her. Guptas listened to her attentively till the end.
Buaji said "Forget whatever happened both of you, let us all take rest and from tomorrow onwards we will start fresh. Payaliya, we can understand how you are feeling now but try to forget him that will be best, it will take time but it is not impossible OK. Now go to your rooms, get fresh, we will order something and take rest. Hmm go...go to your rooms all of you."
Before going to sleep, Payal and Khushi laid beside each other staring at the ceiling lost in the thoughts. Suddenly something clicked in Payal's mind and sat abruptly and startled Khushi.
Payal sat facing Khushi and asked "Khushi tell me what exactly happened after you came down from the terrace. Don't even thing about lying under that sweet smile of yours. You and I know better that I can easily tell when you are hiding something or lying to me, so start speaking."
"Hey Devi maiya what happened to jiji suddenly. She looked quite scary. How can I tell her about what happened between Arnavji and I. Seeing her, I can say that she will not believe me if I will not say the truth. Please save me Devi maiya, if I escape from her beatings then tomorrow, I will make lots of jelabi's for prasad." Thought Khushi.
"Jiji nothing happened that you are scaring me like this." Said Khushi smilingly hiding her nervousness.
"Oh yeah then let me enlighten you, hmmm? After coming from the terrace, you came to me and started speaking with yourself when I asked, you said that you have to say something to Arnavji and left and after sometime you came back but you were more disturbed than before and because of buaji you got ready in a hurry and again left. Then I again saw you when the chaos started. Now tell me what happened in between those two times." Asked Payal in a serious tone.
Without any choice left Khushi narrated to Payal everything that happened in between. Payal was shocked to the core.
"Those two brothers, are they mad, don't they even use their brain when it comes their precious glass doll "DI". For blackmailing others and making others life hell they use their brain with speed of light but when it comes to their Di, they stop using brain. Such idiots we fell in love with. (Khushi eyes bulged and mouth formed 'o' space) What do you think that I don't know what is happening between you both from the last few days. Leave it.
(After 1 or 2 min of silence) What I don't understand is why Arnavji is silent during and after all that. He will be the first person who will reacts and get angry when someone points a finger on his family and we directly pointed finger on his di and why didn't he say anything. What is running in his Harvard brain, Khushi are we missing something. Think Khushi, he will definitely come after us and will ruin our lives. It will be better if we say all this to buaji, amma and babuji." Said Payal fearfully.
"Hey devi maiya, nothing like that will happen jiji. When I talked to him for the second time there was a certain calmness in him like he is thinking. I can feel it jiji, I can't point what it is but I know he will not do any thing in a rush, I don't know how to assure you but I'm confident that he will support the truth, that I can say. Please jiji, buaji, amma and babuji are already in tension because of your marriage, let us not put more tension on them. If Arnavji will do something then we will handle him by ourselves. Already we left one city once let us not repeat the same. If again in future we face similar type of problems, are we again going to run away instead of facing it. No right. Now think only positive thoughts jiji. Every thing will be good." Said Khushi motivating.
After sometime, Khushi said "Jiji whatever happened we cannot change but we have to run our lives and we are financially weak and we both have talent, let us use them and make our lives better. Jiji our parents are worrying about our future but to make better future marrying is not the only solution if we stand on our feet and be independent then we can think about marriage. After what happened today, I understood one thing that marriage is part of life, if we get married then what about our parents and buaji what will happen to them. If we get life partners who will help us then it is good if not what about them, in this old age will they work now and support themselves financially. We know that buaji's pension is still pending and what about babuji's medical bills.
Is it not our responsibility to take care of them. I'm sorry to say this jiji, but what would have happened if Akashji would have married you, will he support you or at least let you work to support our family, I don't think so jiji. He would have hidden behind mamiji and mamiji, she would have taunted you for supporting our family members till the end.
If we don't stand for ourself then no one will stand for us. From the day one Raizada's look down on us because we are from middle class not because we lack in values or morals." Said Khushi remembering all those times when Raizada's and employees of AR look down on her, Payal agreed to each and every word said by Khushi.
