Dev notices Khushi come enter the office and dev starts fidgeting in his seat...
"You know i could ask whats wrong with you but i don't care. So why isn't arnav in his office? " khushi asks dev who at the question freezes in his seat....
"am asking you a question dev, don't just sit there and act all stupid.... " khushi asks on seeing dev silent
DEV: well that depends on what you mean by why isn't he in office ?
KHUSHI: And there it is again: your voice triggering the only impulse i have ever had to hit someone repeatedly and violently...what are you hiding from me, where is arnav?
DEV: why do you and arnav always have to put me in the middle of everything?
KHUSHI: where is he?
DEV: call him and ask for yourself
KHUSHI: you know that we aren't on talking terms
DEV: i know khushi you two aren't even on texting terms...you had to call me in the middle of the night to tell me that you wanted me to text arnav to remind him of a meeting he had as if he didn't have a secretary for that...if you want to talk to him call him or better yet text him..
KHUSHI: where is he and why isn't he here yet?? Tell me or call him to find out, i take my job seriously, this meeting is important
DEV: why cant you just call him yourself...its very simple just dial his number right and if you lost it i can give it you
KHUSHI: i don't want to
DEV: i know you two got in fight since he told you to meet less often especially after someone other than me is aware of your affair
KHUSHI: that does not concern you...where is he... Find out
DEV: i don't have to, he called me awhile ago to ask me to tell you that
KHUSHI: that what...
DEV: first swear to me you won't get angry and take it out on me...
KHUSHI: dev!!!!!!
DEV: first swear or i won't tell you anything
KHUSHI: Fine i swear on your life i won't take out my anger on you
DEV: on your life khushi
KHUSHI: tell me what he said or i will
DEV: today may or may not be karva chauth
KHUSHI: he told you to tell me that today is karva chauth and he is going to stay at home with his wife instead of attending this meeting with me..fine just make sure his secretary is ready to take the minutes
DEV: khushi
KHUSHI: what?
DEV: your not mad??
KHUSHI: why should i be... If arnav wants to take care of lavanya while she is fasting for his long life.. Let him... I mean he expected me to be okay with that so why shouldn't i
DEV: and where are you going...he asks as he notices khushi walking out
KHUSHI: am going to be okay with this
Before he utters another word khushi is already out...
At the raizada mansion....
RATNA: arnav stop staring at your phone... No business today last time you weren't around so today is her first karva chauth that's why i forced You to stay today
ARNAV: Mom let me pick this call... First (he says as he notices khushi calling)
RATNA: arnav
ARNAV: am here maa Am not moving an inch i will just take this in private if don't mind
KHUSHI: why did it take you so long to pick up?
ARNAV: khushi i picked your phone in less than 30 seconds..but if this is your way of saying you haven't argued with .me in a while and want to pick a fight with me... Find a reasonable excuse
KHUSHI: i need to see you
ARNAV: tomorrow
KHUSHI: Now
ARNAV: i cant meet up with you...didn't dev tell you...
KHUSHI: Oh he did... I need to see you now arnav
ARNAV: well i can't
KHUSHI: you can't or you don't want to
ARNAV: my mom wont let me leave and you know why??
KHUSHI: oh i get it... This is the part where i play the understanding mistress.... Arnav if i don't see you now, i will come over to your house and i will tell you what i want over there instead
ARNAV: khushi you know the kind of position am in... My mom wouldn't let me
KHUSHI: she wouldn't want you cheating on your wife yet you do...meet me in 30 minutes arnav or i will come over there and You know i will..
ARNAV: khushi...you know i cant.... (he pauses as he sees lavanya and wonders if she heard anything)
LAVANYA: don't stop on my account...i heard khushi's name go on...
ARNAV: what did you want to say...(he says as he hangs up the phone)
LAVANYA: maa wanted to... (before she can finish her sentence arnav's phone rings Again)
ARNAV: ignore it... (he rejects khushi's call)
before she can say a word the phone rings again...
LAVANYA: just talk to her first am sure you two have important issues to talk about.. I will wait
"do you need privacy? " she asks seeing him hesitant to pick up the phone in front of her
ARNAV: lavanya
LAVANYA: i asked you to do one thing for me... To fire her but you couldn't, could You? Am your wife yet it seems she is more important...pick up your phone arnav I will be outside
ARNAV: you don't have to do that
LAVANYA: arnav dont mistake this as us communicating Again.. Not until you cut all ties with her... She is your past and am your future... I have that much right to demand that of you and until you do, you and i are complete strangers...am only putting on a show for maa's sake
Lavanya moves out and he tries calling khushi but she cuts his call and knowing her she means whatever she says
30 minutes later...
KHUSHI: there you are... I almost thought you weren't going to make it
ARNAV: Well i did... Make it quick khushi
KHUSHI: i just wanted to see your face... I missed you... Its been how long.. ..13 hours since i last saw You...
ARNAV: i snack out of my own house like a thief because you missed me khushi
KHUSHI: lower your voice arnav... Am speaking to you calmly try to do the same...
ARNAV: my mom could be turning the whole house upside own looking for me right now
KHUSHI: she probably wouldn't find you
ARNAV: khushi do you think this is some kind of joke
KHUSHI: if i was, i would be laughing but am not arnav...instead i feel like am the joke... Lavanya is fasting for you today isn't she?? And you were planning to break her fast and you expect me to be okay with it
ARNAV: what do you want me to do khushi... She is my wife
KHUSHI: and am the other woman...i get it, trust me i do...i have no say in whatsoever you do.
ARNAV: so that's what this is about...your insecure...what more do i have to do to prove to you that your the one i love khushi
KHUSHI: stay
ARNAV: what!!!
KHUSHI: you asked what more you could do to prove you love me...don't break lavanya's fast...stay here with me instead
ARNAV: have you lost your mind??
KHUSHI: am in a relationship with you...despite you being married and you have to ask me that, of course i lost my mind a long time ago
