Khushi entered her office after solving a problem with her team's design, only to find a nervous Preeto pacing back and forth before stopping and letting out a loud sigh of relief at seeing her and this perplexed Khushi. 
"What is wrong with you?" Khushi inquired as she removed her coat, hung it on the rack behind her chair, and sat facing Preeto. 
"You will not believe who came here and what happened to them." Preeto exclaimed, and Khushi frowned, prompting her to continue. "Anjali and her aunt came here to speak with you, but ASR refused, but they were not barging, so ASR called the cops, and Aman just revealed to me that her own husband had just approved her and her aunt's trespassing charges."
Khushi was overcome with emotion; she was angry that Anjali and Mami dared to approach her, but she was also taken aback by Arnav's actions and Anjali's husband's decision to support Arnav over Anjali. 
She realised her assumption about Anjali's husband was incorrect, and he was not the henpecked husband she imagined. 
"That is not our problem......As long as she and her wretched aunt stay away from me, I am fine because if I had met them, they would have ended up in the hospital." Khushi exclaimed indignantly as she returned to her computer and resumed typing. 
Preeto was taken aback by her response, but shrugged and walked out of her office to finish her work. 
Khushi's facade vanished instantly, and a sinister smirk took over her lips, accompanied by a devilish look in her eyes, as she took a new phone from her drawer, typed a message, and pressed send. 
"Be prepared for my revenge. Anjali...... I promise to drive you and your aunt insane..... And when I am finished with you and your aunt, you will be sorry about that night." 
Flashback. 
Following Arnav's confrontation with her, Khushi sat on the floor sobbing. 
She knew he was speaking from trauma and pain, but what he said will stay with her forever unless Arnav comes to her and apologizes. 
She was about to enter the restroom when she heard the door open and smiled, thinking it was Arnav, but her smile faded when she noticed Mami supporting a pale Anjali and felt a bang in her chest. 
"You see what you have done......" If you have any dignity left, you will leave this house and Arnav...... He does not want you because you are just an object on which he can vent his frustration...... A punching bag, and if you do not believe me, listen." Mami spat venomously, causing Khushi to bow her head. 
Mami pulled out her phone, and Khushi raised her head, perplexed as to who she was calling. 
"Hello Mami. " Arnav's voice has emerged. 
"Hello hi bye bye....... Why is Pati Saree in tears?" Mami inquired, pretending to be concerned. 
"Mami I do not want to talk about her or even breathe the same air with her........ I should have never married her then di wouldn't be going through all this....... I do not want the Guptas pointing fingers at her, so I am tolerating her for now...... Please Mami, take care of Anjali. " 
The call and Khushi's fall to her knees occurred simultaneously. 
"Now that you have heard him.... Leave now and never return. "
Khushi, shaken by the hurt and revelation, picked up all of her belongings, leaving everything Arnav and the family had given her behind. 
Flashback ends.
