Broken Promises ✓

Put her right

Arnav dragged a numb Khushi towards their car.

"Arnavji... Let me drive, You sit with Khushi. I don't think she's okay, You'll not be able to concentrate" Payal said

Arnav nodded and tossed the car keys towards her. Arnav made Khushi sit inside the car and soon slipped beside her.

The minute Khushi felt Arnav sitting beside her, She threw herself onto him, Crying hysterically. Arnav held her close to himself and let her cry in his embrace. Arnav felt miserable,seeing his love his life collapsing into his arms. He could blame the whole thing on Guptas, But somewhere, He was responsible too wasn't he?

He whispered sweet nothings to her while she cried uncontrollably

"I never... I never wanted to be a burden to them Arnav... I never... Meant to, I am a very bad girl... The worst daughter" She told Arnav

"No Khushi... Aisa nahi hai shona Aap jaante ho, (Its nothing like that Khushi... You know that) You are a very good human being jaan. Calm down" Arnav said consoling her

"They hate me Arnav... I considered them my... Family Arnav. All this while, I tried to be a good daughter to them... I really tried. But they don't... They don't love me Arnav. I am a bad daughter Arnav" Khushi said crying

"No you're not. You're not a bad daughter baby... Please Calm down" Arnav said urgently.

"I am Arnav... Thats... That's why they hate me so much. That's why everyone hates me. Arnav... Khushi is a bad girl. A bad daughter. She doesn't deserve to be loved... That's why even your family... Your Di doesn't... Every one hates me" Khushi repeated. Arnav felt helpless. Tears formed in his eyes seeing Khushi in such a desperate condition

"No one hates you shona... And as far as Di is concerned, She really needs to see the truth... ("if she doesn't, Well then... You've had enough... She'll have to go... It's purely her choice now, Either her stubbornness, Or me" Arnav thought)

He hugged her tightly saying soothing words to her. She kept blabbering but soon lost consciousness. Arnav leaned on the back of the seat as tears flowed down his cheeks. "Why DM, Why does she have to suffer... Even if... Even if its not her fault. Why doesn't she deserve happiness. She is your "Best daughter" isn't she? Then why is her patience getting tested" Arnav thought aloud. He messaged Ashima to come to RM as Khushi had had a panic attack

"What was that?? What happened to Khushi" Payal asked

"Panic attack. Di warned me I shouldn't let her stress herself. But I was a fool" Arnav said

"Its okay Arnav... It had to happen this way" Payal said and restarted the car and they drove off to the RM

Arnav picked Khushi in his arms and went inside. The whole clan gathered around Arnav but he hurried on to his room.

Akash and Nk followed Arnav to his room frantically searching his face for any hints of what has happened. All they could find... Was terror! Pure terror

"What has happened Arnav? Why is Khushi ji unconscious?? She was looking perfectly fine when you guys left" Nk asked

"Nk... She had a panic attack again, God! Why did I have to take her to the GH. Ashu Di had warned me... How could I be so careless??" He cursed himself

"Its okay Bhai... Don't worry, Khushi ji will be fine. But what happened that she ended up like this?" Akash asked

"From the past few days... Khushi was being stalked endlessly by an obsessive brat. Khushi was really upset.-" Arnav stated

"But the whole world knows she's married to you... Aapki life toh media ki favorite news item hai (Your life is the media's favorite news item)"

"Kuch logon ko farq nahi padta Akash (Some people don't care) And I suppose he was one of them. He's married too... Has a wife, Maybe children too." Arnav told him
