Arnav got furious on hearing the priests' words and looked at Khushi expecting her to stop him from saying this but she kept mum. Arnav thought of himself telling everyone the truth. He told "Sorry pandit ji, your blessings won't work on the child as Khushi is not pregnant." This left everyone shocked. Khushi looked at Arnav with tears in her eyes and signaled him not to tell anyone anything now but Arnav ignored her gestures.
Gauri went near Arnav saying "What are you saying Arnav?"
Arnav said "Yes mom, it's true. Khushi is not pregnant."
Vikram said "Let's not discuss this here. Come inside."
Vikram gave the priest money for the puja and he left.
They all gathered in Vikram's room and Gauri said "What happened? Will anyone tell me anything?" She went up to Arnav and caressed his face asking "Arnav beta, what's the matter?" She looked at Khushi and said "Khushi at least you tell me what happened?"
Arnav said "Mom, Khushi aborted the child."
Khushi started crying after hearing this and said in a low voice "Mom, I am not feeling well now. Can I leave please?"
Gauri hugged Khushi and said "Beta, don't cry please. Come, I'll take you to your room."
Arnav was worried for Khushi but his anger was still ruling his love for her. He told Vikram the reason why Khushi aborted the child and Vikram did not know how to react to the truth. Arnav left the room and drove off to spend some time alone.
Gauri took Khushi to her room and made her rest on the bed. She said "Don't cry. Just rest now." While she was leaving, Khushi held her hand saying "Mom, please stay. Don't leave me alone. I need someone to stay beside me. Please."
Gauri sat next to her on the bed and caressed her hair saying "I am here. I won't go anywhere."
Khushi said "Mom, I'll tell you everything and my reason for aborting the child as well."
Khushi told Gauri all that happened earlier and Gauri's eyes teared up on knowing that Arnav met with an accident and was in hospital for a month and she was unaware. She said "Khushi, I can understand what you are feeling. I also have gone through the same thing where I had to choose between my husband and my son. I did not want Arnav to misunderstand me as a mother but Vikram needed me the most and all these months, it was tough for him to live without his son. You too have gone through an emotional phase and at such a young age. I can relate to you and your decision was not completely wrong but those moments were tough for you. You felt that may be you cannot give your child a good life and hence took the decision. Arnav needs to understand this as it's not easy for a mother to decide to kill her own child. She needs to think of the child more than her own happiness. Don't worry, I will take to Arnav and make him understand that what you did was not wrong."
Khushi caught her hand and kissed it saying "Thanks mom for supporting me. My mom too did not understand me nor my dad. They felt that I did not love them and hence betrayed them but no, I always loved them and will continue to love them no matter what they feel about me. Arnav too is not able to understand me and I truly can understand his situation. He is right in his way but only once if he could try to think in my place, just once."
Gauri kissed Khushi's forehead saying "You take rest beta. I will talk to him. You just go to sleep and don't think much about Arnav. He is still immature and so takes time to understand things."
