Arnav drove the car rashly without knowing his destination . He stopped the car with a jerk in a lonely road and came out , closing the door angrily with a thud . He leaned to the car door and slowly slipped down and brought his knees to his chest level . He remembered how he ignored Khushi and punished her for nothing wrong in the past , blindly trusting his sister's words .

Anjali : Shyamji please !!

Shyam : What please Rani Saheba ?? I don't give anyone the right to hurt my wife .

Anjali : (crying) Chotte , I don't want to hurt you but I cannot ignore the fact that you have given me your swear . Actually , what happened was I , Shyamji and Khushiji were only there in the house and as Khushiji is from a middle class family . she wanted a bucket of hot water to take a bath and she asked me to prepare it in the gas as she wanted . I didn't objected ignoring Shyamji who was telling me not to do it because HP , OP or JP could have done it but I thought Khushiji is new in this house so she would have felt bad if I did so and prepared the water for her . I went to your room to give her the water . I gave her the water and left but later I heard an angry shout from your room and went to check on her but she shouted at me and took me to the bathroom . I swear chotte , I did not prepare that hot water that would have burnt her . She dipped my hand in the burning water to punish me and my hand ..... I swear chotte I did not did that .
