"Take our stuff. I will drop you off at our home and come back." Arnav said.
"Are you going to come here again?" Khushi asked.
"I have to. Be with uncle. I will come after Dhruv's funeral."
Khushi nodded ok. They packed their things and came downstairs. They saw Sudhakar, Anjana, Anjali, NK and Dadi were sitting distraught. Arnav gestured for Khushi to go. She nodded ok and was about to leave, but she stopped hearing,
"If you have an idea to be here, don't..." Anjana said, looking at Arnav.
Arnav looked at her, frowning.
"You don't have to be a part of my son's funeral." She said rigidly.
Arnav looked at Sudhakar.
"Anjana, what are you saying?"
"My son is dead. Who is the reason?"
"He is not alive. He himself is the reason because he was not a good guy..." Arnav said.
"Oh, really? But you are a good guy, right?"
"What do you mean by that? What do you want me to do? He is the direct reason my relationship was broken. He made my girlfriend misunderstand me and made her leave the country. He attacked her father and became the reason for his coma. He kidnapped him. He threatened his servant and chased him from Delhi. And now, he kept a knife to Khushi's neck in front of your eyes. Still, you are thinking I'm the reason for his death. What do you want me to do, Chachi? Do you want me to sacrifice my love for the one who never wanted me to be happy? Haan?" he was furious.
"At least he would be alive..." She said with no regret.
Before Arnav said anything,
"Excuse me, aunty... I'm not a toy for anyone to play with. What do you think of me? After knowing how cheap and evil your son is, do you want me to marry him?" Khushi seethed.
Anjana looked somewhere.
"I thought only Dhruv is toxic in this family. But no... I wanted to be a part of his funeral because I'm grateful to this family. Even though you guys didn't help me stand in my life, you guys are my relatives. But I'm wrong. You are never my people. I feel ashamed of eating from your hand. If I can get your support, only if I sacrifice my Khushi, I don't need any of you. I don't care who you are, and what I get from you. It's all unworthy in front of my Khushi." Arnav said furiously.
Khushi pressed his shoulder to calm him down. She felt so proud. She knew Arnav loved her, but she expected he would give such an honour.
Arnav looked at Dadi, expecting her to say something, but she stood silent, which surprised him.
"I'm leaving Dadi..."
Dadi nodded, making him more surprised.
"Because of me, you stayed in RM even though you were firm enough to earn your own bread. I thought you would receive support here and motherly love from your Chachi, but I was wrong. This world is so selfish. It expects us to be nice to even a killer, but it won't be in our favour. Go somewhere and live your life happily..." she said, looking at Anjana disappointingly.
Arnav Held Khushi's hand and walked off. Aman followed them, pulling Shashi's wheelchair.
Anjana was supposed to go to her room, but NK came in front of her.
"What a great mother you are! You know everything. Still, you want your son to marry the girl he liked, even though she was not interested in him. What a great philosophy. For every man, his mother would be the ideal woman. But I'm not lucky enough to get such a mother."
Anjana looked at him, shockingly. She didn't expect NK to say that.
"What do you mean? Don't you feel proud to have me as your mother?"
"What do you think, I would feel proud to have you as my mother if you support your evil son? I'm not in that cheap. I have been with Nannav from the beginning. I know what your son did to him. You are the worst mother I have ever seen. You said Nannav was the reason for Dhuv's death. No... You are the reason for his death. If you had disciplined and raised your child, he would not have become a spoiled brat and remained alive. I feel ashamed to address you as my mother." He left the place.
Anjana stood, shockingly. And to her shock, no one from her family supported her.

Khushi looked at Arnav, who was driving a car. Aman Shashi and Ramu were silent. No one dared to speak, as they knew how distraught he was.
They reached their new villa. Neither was it big nor was it small. Khushi liked it so much. It looked so compact. They settled Shashi down in his room. He was provided with an intercom to call them.
"Ramu Kaka, I have arranged for a cook. You don't have to do it. Just be with Uncle Shashi and look after him." Arnav said.
Ramu nodded.
"ASR, I'm leaving. Call me if you want anything." Aman said.
"Ok, Aman. Thank you for everything..."
"Always..." he smiled and left the place.
"Khushi, don't let uncle be alone in his room. Be with him in the living room. Made sure he is comfortable."
Khushi nodded ok.
"I wanted to join you in your office..."
Cutting him off,
"No, Khushi. Be with Uncle Shashi. He will expect you to be with him, and it's necessary too. He is not that old, Shashi Gupta. He is weak. He needs care. Only you can give it to him."
She nodded yes.
"Get fresh and have something. You would be hungry."
"Aren't you?"
"Of course, I too am hungry... let's go..."
He took her to their room. Arnav and Khushi took a bath and got fresh. Khushi was observing Arnav to see if he was all right.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
"Are you all right?"
"What happened to me?" he smiled.
"Has nothing happened to you?" she asked with a deep meaning.
Arnav sat on the bed and pulled her next to him.
"No matter what happens to us, our attitude is what matters..."
"I didn't get you..."
"My Chacha's family was never at ease. Only NK is exceptional. I never expected anything from them. I would get disappointed only if I had an expectation. When I know very well how they are, what's there to get upset? In fact, I expected more drama in RM. I would not have been surprised if my Chachi had beaten me..."
"You are so balanced. I think life has taught you to be so. I, too, was the reason for your balanced state, right?"
"Don't think unwantedly. I'm balanced, it's because you are with me. What else do I need more than you? See, we are at our house. This is our world. I don't want anything more than this. I will live my remaining life happily."
"Don't you want more successes?"
"I will get more and more success if I'm happy and balanced. It's possible only for you."
Khushi leaned on his shoulder.
"I feel so proud and happy when you say, you don't need anyone but me. I felt honoured."
"It's true...I don't need anyone but you." he touched her hand, which was circling his bicep.
"I'm so lucky to have you..."
"Me too... I never had anyone for myself. You have fulfilled the place."
"I'm sorry..."
Arnav kept his index finger on her lips.
"Shhh... don't think about the past. Just forget it and be happy. The present is the only constant. So, live every minute happily."
"We will be happy not only in the present but for our whole life."
"Really? How?" he asked smilingly.
"This is how..." she locked his lips with hers.
They had a liplock. Khushi was the one who broke it. Arnav looked at her drowsily.
"You were hungry..." Khushi said.
"You made me hungrier now..." he said with a deep meaning.
"We will quench THAT hunger later..." She got up from the bed, but Arnav pulled her onto him and wrapped her in his arms.
"That hunger will quench if THIS hunger is quenched..." he captured her lips and flipped her on the bed.
It was a deep kiss that made their action deep. They forgot their hunger completely and got into something that pleased them like anything. They lost themselves in the pleasure. Khushi closed her eyes, clutching his sweaty shoulders. He fell on her, all exhausted and hugged her tightly.
Khushi caressed his hair and kissed his forehead, making him smile.
"Arnav, let's eat something..."
"I don't want anything..."
"Whaaat?"
"Let me be like this..."
Khushi smiled, circling his neck. Arnav looked at her, jerking.
"You too were hungry. Let's go..."
"My hunger fled away..."
"No way... come..." he got off the bed and pulled her.
Khushi circled his neck, making him raise his brows.
"I thought you were so obsessed with me..."
"Of course, I'm..."
"But you got apart from me..."
"To feed you... You will be healthier only if you eat well. Then only you will live long with me. Taking care of you is also a kind of obsession...! So that, I will always be with you!" he dashed his forehead with hers, smilingly.
Khushi hugged him smilingly.
