Khushi is seated on the bench when dev calls her on her phone...
KHUSHI: did you tell him???
DEV: he is on his way... Is lavanya there.....???
KHUSHI: she hasn't arrived
DEV: what if she doesn't come???
KHUSHIl : she will
DEV: are you sure you want lavanya to know the truth...
KHUSHI: yes and am hoping she arrives before arnav does....
A while later....
KHUSHI: you came....
LAVANYA: why do we have to meet here???
KHUSHI: this is where it all started...
LAVANYA: I don't understand
KHUSHI: you will in about 20 or 30 minutes
LAVANYA: khushi I don't have time for your games... I only came here because you told me it was about arnav
KHUSHI: I wasn't lying... But something tells me you won't believe a word I say...
LAVANYA: why should I ???
KHUSHI: see I was right.... what I have to tell you, you wont believe unless you hear it straight from the source.....
LAVANYA: what source???
KHUSHI: we aren't the best of friends but I need you to trust me and hide behind that tree.... Don't come out until you have heard the whole truth...
LAVANYA: what is going on....
KHUSHI: arnav is on his way here... trust me on this.... Hide behind that tree....he won't notice.... because he will be too preoccupied.... don't come out till the whole truth is out...
LAVANYA: why should i trust you???
KHUSHI: you want to know the truth... This is the only way how
LAVANYA: fine.... I will just go park my car further...
..............
KHUSHI; I would ask why and how you're here...but the both of us know the answer to that is dev...he couldn't keep his mouth shut....
ARNAV; what were you thinking....???
.............
Lavanya can't believe what she is hearing.... But she agreed to all of this.....
KHUSHI; yes iam...am going to tell lavanya am pregnant...and that am married to you...now that I say it to you at loud...its sounds horrible...but am a horrible person, I do horrible things what else were you expecting from me....
ARNAV; I won't let you...
.................
ARNAV; I can’t run away with you… I wouldn’t be able to live with that for the rest of my life…I would never forgive myself please understand…
Lavanya can't listen to any more of their conversation and walks back slowly..... if what she heard was true then that means arnav cheated on her.....she almost stumbles but gains her balance..............
ARNAV; look at me…I know you think your trying to punish me by doing this….or perhaps you think you’re a horrible person and you deserve it…but I know someone who is more horrible than you and your looking at him…just give me the gun…and we will talk…….
She doesn’t realize arnav closing in on her……….grabbing a hold of the gun but she doesn’t lose her grip….
KHUSHI; let go of it…
ARNAV; you let go of it….
They are both holding and pulling it when suddenly the sound explodes in the stillness…and arnav lets out a small cry…and stumbles forward onto his knees as khushi races towards him…….
Lavanya she makes her way to her car slowly crying and is still in a daze when she hears a gun shot.......she decides to rush back to see what's wrong???
KHUSHI: your bleeding
"look at me khushi it doesn't hurt" he says laying in khushi's lap....
KHUSHI : haven't you learnt by now that you shouldn't lie to me...what were you thinking???
ARNAV: what were you thinking?? that I would let you take a bullet on my account.....
KHUSHI : so you took one yourself???
ARNAV: I have always wanted to say I took a bullet for someone
KHUSHI: I should call an ambulance...but they might take long..... I don't have my car with me.... You came in a car... Your car right.... give me your keys
ARNAV: am sorry
KHUSHI : just because your dying doesn't mean I will forgive you.... Just get up and go to the hospital...i mean how could you??? You can't even stand... I will take you to the hospital.....you can't die....i still have to kill you..... you know what I mean??
ARNAV: I deserve this
KHUSHI : I can't argue with that....I will carry you.... You are not that heavy.....am even carrying your child.....
ARNAV : do you think if my father would see what i became....he would be proud???
KHUSHI : you don't want me to answer that....
ARNAV: I think he would be ashamed
KHUSHI : that makes two of us.... I shouldn't have said that
ARNAV: i shouldn't have asked you to have an arbotion
KHUSHI : stop talking like that
ARNAV : like what???
KHUSHI : like your about to die and your making a will...and your trying to rectify your mistakes
ARNAV : i do love you
KHUSHI: but not enough to be with me....
ARNAV: why did you stay??
KHUSHI: stay where??
ARNAV : stay with me??
KHUSHI: I know
ARNAV: i know why you stayed with me??? up until now your still believe you don't deserve the world but you do....the truth is you deserve more than me....you can't see your own beauty....i deserve this.... I deserve to die
KHUSHI : your doing it again
ARNAV : what??
KHUSHI : being a coward, you would rather die than own up to everything you have done
ARNAV: I guess that makes the two of us
KHUSHI: no it doesn't, because you would rather have me get an arbotion than take responsibility for your own child.... I would rather die than have that be my reality.....my mom didn't want me.... neither did my father...... i thought you were different....i thought my child would be different...... He would have a mom and a dad.....a complete family..... everything I didn't get and you took that from..... what did you want to tell our child.....that their father didn't want them..... he would rather they die before they are even born..... I didn't ask for this arnav..... you got me pregnant and you can't even own up to that..... you just want to escape your reality.....i can't recall the last time you called me your wife........maybe i should put another bullet in you....and then take you to the hospital
ARNAV: do you remember the first time we met???
KHUSHI: Stop talking like this.....your not going to die....am not letting you have an easy way out....
ARNAV: I feel sleepy....
KHUSHI : I will take you to the hospital..... I should probably stop saying that and actually take you to a hospital....arnav get up... where did you park your car?? Arnav.... say something.....arnav
"what have you done?? ""lavanya says as soon as she notices arnav laying down in khushi's lap bleeding......
KHUSHI : it's not what you think
LAVANYA : your holding a gun khushi
KHUSHI : it doesn't matter just help me.... take him to the hospital......stop standing there like your a statue and help me..... He is unconscious..... help me lavanya....
Lavanya gets out of her trance and rushes to khushi and arnav..... she helps her lift khushi and together they help support him to her car......
DOCTOR : there are some papers to sign..... who amongst you is family???
"me" lavanya and khushi both say at the same time..... they turn and look at each other...
KHUSHI : she is....
A while later..........
Khushi feels her head spinning but she can't afford to sit down not until the operation is done..... Lavanya comes back from the bathroom...and approaches her....
LAVANYA: I called the police
KHUSHI: of course you did
LAVANYA: you shot him
KHUSHI: that's not what happened
LAVANYA: and why should i believe anything you say??
KHUSHI: because he is my husband and i love him... Why would I try to kill him???
LAVANYA: your not his wife?? Why are you still calling your self that??? He is not your husband... He may have cheated on me but he is still my husband not yours
KHUSHI: he wasn't cheating on you...... he was cheating on me
LAVANYA: your not his wife..... So stop saying that..... he married me
KHUSHI: he married me before he married you...... that's the truth
LAVANYA: no the truth is....you seduced my husband and took advantage of the fact that he was still in love with you to get yourself pregnant..... you wanted to tie him down..... Infact am not even sure it's his child your carrying..... your with dev right???
KHUSHI: it's not just me.... you as well??? I guess he has that effect and i thought I was the only one who was stupid..... turns out your even more stupid than iam.....i showed the mirror but your still willing to believe your own version....i didn't have to seduce arnav into anything....he is my husband...... he did everything willingly..... If your too blind to see that.....then i have lost all hope for you
LAVANYA: your a liar..... that's what you are.... I treated you like a friend and this is how you repay me??
KHUSHI: no you didn't..... lavanya you didn't treat like a friend......you treated me like arnav's biography..... All the conversations we ever had were always about arnav.... Khushi what does arnav like??? What is his favorite color??? Should I throw him a surprise birthday party??? Which food does he like??? You always needed me to make your marriage work.... but even then it didn't because it wasn't a marriage to begin with....so don't act like you wanted to be friends with me......you just wanted to get to know him through me
LAVANYA: you asked him to leave with you and he didn't.....he chose me
KHUSHI: except he didn't chose you....He values the dead more than he does the living...... This isn't about you or me.... It's about him and his father.... You don't know the kind of relationship they had.......so you won't know what that promise means to him...... he is willing to damn me and his child all in the name of his father..... the one thing his father wanted more than anything and he couldn't even do it right.....he is not your husband.....you can be in denial all you want
LAVANYA: I will believe it when he tells me himself......there is no way that he could have married you
KHUSHI : so i guess that makes him our husband.... I did all of this because i thought he was going to choose me..... I thought wrong.... I have been you because I always thought that when it came down to the two of us he would pick me.... I thought that love was enough.....he is willing to keep one promise he forgot the 1000 promises he made to me....you didn't stay for the rest of the conversation...you missed out on the best part
LAVANYA: stop talking
KHUSHI : what should I do for you to believe me??? What will it take??? I have proof..... I have a marriage certi....
LAVANYA: you have what???
KHUSHI : forget it.... he is not my husband he lost that right when he told me to get rid of his child....you can keep him.....
LAVANYA: if I were you.....i would be long gone from here before the police arrives.... Your going to pay for what you did to him...... am going to make sure you spend the rest of your life in prison for what you did to my husband.....
KHUSHI : and who is going to set you free from yours..... arnav doesn't love you...... he is never going to....he does
LAVANYA : khushi what's wrong???...she says as she notices her swaying.....
Khushi can feel her heart race as her chest tightens…lavanya tries to ask her if she is okay but all she can see is her mouth moving but isn’t able to make out what she is saying, right now all she can hear are odd voices that seem to fade away, her vision starts to become blurry and before she knows her world is engulfed in darkness…
