"Bhai calm down.." Akash patted his back with his other hand, while NK just held the over-angry Arnav who was ready to burst at any moment.
"Aman beta take this man away before Chote does something wrong!" Nani said staring at the man whose face was covered with blood, she looked away unable to bear the sight.
"Ji nani.. we need to take him to hospital.." Shyam said carrying the man with Aman.
"I will send him to jail and not hospital.." Arnav frowned, "Leave me you both.." he gritted his teeth glaring at Akash and NK holding him. Both refused, Arnav glared at them, they look down and left him.
Anjali walked to Khushi, she wiped her tears with her thumb, "What happened?"
Khushi narrated everything to the family sobbing, while Arnav hearing the details got more angry.
He walked to Khushi and pulled her harshly by her arms, "What was the need to talk friendly with him? Anyone comes to you and you start showing them your smile! Don't you how to judge people ahn? Did you saw the consequences now? What was the need for you to serve for him? Guide him to kitchen.. pagal ho tum? Aren't there servants here to do that task that he had to find only you to serve him? You both were alone in kitchen, didn't it clicked on your mind that man had bad intentions with you? If I didn't come here on time, did you ever think what could have happened with you?"
He shouted on top of his voice, making everyone's heart beat faster scared of his worst side. Khushi flinched, she started crying more than she was before, "I'..m sor..ry.." she whispered in a broken voice.
Arnav was about to speak, but Anjali interrupted him wrapping her arms around a crying Khushi, "Chote enough.. it's not her fault, why are you scolding her?"
"I'm scolding her because I LOVE HER DAMMIT.. I don't want anything bad to happen to her.." Arnav shouted angrily, and left from there with his long heavy steps.
The family ran to Khushi, hugging her and whispering sweet nothings to make her feel better.

Raizada mansion..
After making Khushi drink water, Nani sat beside her stroking her hair.
"Can I tell you something?" NK said looking at her. Khushi nodded her head innocently.
"You only said that Nannav is Lion na! Then how can you expect him to speak like normal person to you? He would bark na, it's his way of dealing with humans.. he's lost in this world.. you don't worry.." NK said.
Khushi giggled softly, "NK dogs bark, not Lions!"
"Acha? I didn't know that.." NK rubbed his forehead acting like he is unaware of it, and Akash smacked his head, "Because you're a monkey itself, you're also lost in this human world like Bhai..one scares people, other makes everyone laugh.."
Everyone laughed heartily especially Khushi, while NK pouted.
"It's true only, that Laad governor only know how to scare someone.." Khushi pouted, rubbing her moist eyes.
Everyone smiled relieved that she's fine now. "Khushi bitiya you can sleep with us today.. it's better to not stay near Arnav bitwa today.." Mami said with wide eyes.
Akash face palmed, "Ma how will she sleep with you and Papa?"
"Manorama doesn't think with brain.. My gudiya will sleep with me today, hain na?" Nani held Khushi's chin smiling.
Khushi smiled and nodded sideways, "I will sleep in my room.. Arnav jaise bhi hai, woh meri pati hai (however Arnav is, he's my husband) and I won't escape from him, I can't be near him in happy times, and far from him when we fight or he scolds me, marriage is being together in all kind of situations.. I won't leave my room neither him.. aur haan, I'm not scared of his anger! I can deal with him.."
Anjali kissed her forehead smiling, "In such a young age, you're so understanding Khushi. Today I'm proud of my choice.."
"A huge round of applause for my Bhabhi.." Akash shouted, making her clap for Khushi with smiley faces. Khushi giggled.
"Take her to rest Anjali.." Nani said, and Anjali nodded taking Khushi to her room. She helped Khushi to lay on the bed, and covered Khushi with the blanket.
"Di.. you don't need to do this.. I'm not sick!" Khushi said.
"I'm your elder sister, and it's my duty to take care of my little sister.. okay? Don't stop me, you do so much for us, can't I do this much for you?" Anjali hit her forehead lightly.
Khushi smiled faintly, everyday she feels she's so lucky to find them and become a part of such a loving family, even her Khaddos husband loves her a lot, and she knows he's angry because of her innocent nature that can lead her in trouble like today, that's why he scolded her.

Later..
Arnav took steps inside the house, it was dark all over. But soon, the lights came on and he looked away feeling something being splashed into his face.
"What the.." he uttered as soon as he opened his eyes and realized his family just made him take a bath with flour!
"Punishments for scolding our Princess!" said Nani angrily glaring at him. Arnav rolled his eyes, "With flour seriously? Have you guys gone mad?"
He frowned, patting his shoulders to remove the dirt from him which seemed impossible; he would take long hours showering today!
"You will say sorry to my sister today.." Shyam said pouting.
"Why should I?" he shrugged his shoulder, raising his one eyebrow.
Everyone looked at him with open mouth, then sighed hard and left from there leaving him alone.
Arnav just shook his head and went upstairs.
He opened the door of his room, and saw her who closed her eyes instantly as she felt the door being opened. She looked like a little baby who shut her eyes tightly pretending to sleep to escape from parent's scolding!
He went to freshen up, and Khushi opened her eyes slowly thanking DM that he reached fine and now she could sleep peacefully.
Arnav came out of the bathroom sometime later, wiping his wet hair with towel; he laid on the bed and looked at her sleeping now.
"I can't bear if something happens to you.. I lost Ma and Sharanya Di already, now I can't take any risk when it comes to you Khushi.. I love you to an extent you can't imagine.." he thought, staring at her sleeping form.
He tried to touch her cheek, but Khushi raised her arms under the blanket, to rest on the pillow. Arnav raised his eyebrows, "Angry with me even sleeping! Tomorrow I will say sorry.."
He raised his head to kiss her forehead, but Khushi in her sleep, turned to other side making him sigh, "Okay.. let's wait for tomorrow only!"

Meera's room:
"Yes! Arnav scolded her.." Meera fell on the bed smiling happily, "Khushi start counting your days in Arnav's life, you won't stay for long.. I guarantee you.."
