Flashback continues
Now Khushi and Lavanya aged to 17. After some days Dadu died leaving 3 souls in the shadow of devils.
Karuna at one side she is happy that she can rule the house after Rajveer's demise, but it didn't long last because before death Rajveer wrote his whole wealth to Khushi and Lavanya with a condition that they can transfer the properties only after their husband's signature, this will not only infuriated Karuna but also Abhimaan.
Karuna started to treat Sanyukta as a maid in her own house. Khushi and Lavanya though small in age, they are more mature in understanding what is happening around.
So, they planned to move out of the house with Sanyukta without anyone knowledge.
On the other side, Karuna planned to sell Khushi to someone rich by marrying her to him and killing Sanyukta without Lavanya and Abhimaan knowledge.
Because she know that Abhimaan has soft corner for Khushi as she resembled like his mom in features and his dad in characters.
One day night
Planning everything and taking necessary items like their certificates and clothes, Khushi and Lavanya moved towards kitchen to see that Sanyukta was sleeping in the floor. They woke her up
Sanyukta: Baby, what you both are doing at this time with bags?
Lavanya: Maa, we don't want to stay here anymore, so we are moving out of this with you. Come maa, we will go somewhere. And live peacefully
Sanyukta: No...no this is not good beta. We should not go like this. He is your father you should resp...
Khushi(cutting her): I can give respect even to an animal but not to that man. If you want you can come with us, but we are not staying here anymore. You have 5 mins to think.
After Dadu died there is so much difference between Khushi and Sanyukta.
Day by day it grown more. Because she May be a good wife, good daughter in law and even good human, but she failed as a mother. Which her daughter craving for.
Finally, Sanyukta agreed as she want to become a good mother to her daughters and had enough of being in this house.
They moved out but unfortunately Karuna men saw them and informed her. Karuna don't care about Sanyukta but Lavanya and Khushi, mainly Khushi as she is her golden egg.
She made a plan and according to that, she sent Abhimaan to get them and after him sent a person to kill Sanyukta in an accident.
Abhimaan caught Khushi, Lavanya and Sanyukta in railway station and despite of their protest, he dragged them with him.
Sanyukta: Please leave us Abhimaan ji. I don't want to come there. We don't want to return to that hell, I want to be happy with my childrens.
Abhimaan: How can you leave? I'm your husband and they are my children, the heir of this empire.
Sanyukta: which husband you are talking about? That husband who abuse, molest and rapes his wife to release his frustration. Or that husband who despite of having his own wife, had an affair with other women who is portraying herself as a mistress of the house in front of his own legally wedded wife. And about being father, don't even talk about that.
She let him know the pain, she is carrying in her heart all this ears while he was guilty. Yes, guilty, May be he did all this but listening to all this from his wife who is nothing but only sweet to him even after all his deeds made him guilty
Abhimaan: I'm sorry Sanyukta. I know my one sorry don't solve anything, but I promise that I will try to rectify my mistakes. Sanyukta, I was a man who does his small, small work according to his wish, but when my father forced me to marry you, I lost all my calm. Even though I attracted to you, my ego overpowered me. But, now when you're trying to leave me I cant take that. Please forgive me. I cant live without you.
He said while tears are flowing continuously flowing from Sanyukta and Lavanya eyes while Khushi is keenly noticing Abhimaan, because he lost that trust and respect from her eyes long ago.
Abhimaan: Khushi, I know its hard for you to trust me, but believe it baby, I love you more than anything in the world. You are just like my parents, you are my most valuable possession dear. Please forgive your father.
But Khushi didn't melt nor she talked with him, but seeing the hopeful eyes of her mother and sister, she agreed as she don't want to become wall between them. While returning back the car is filled with silence as everyone are exhausted with the happening. Sanyukta and Lavanya slept keeping their heads on either side of Khushi who is sitting middle of them.
Khushi saw Abhimaan glancing at every now n then with a smile on his face, which is very new for her. Interrupting her thought a flash light flashed on her eyes and with in a blink of seconds their car met with an accident and smashed in the road.
Flashback ends
Ratna: Oh god, then what happened beta?
Lavanya: I was in coma for 2 months, after waking up I came to know that Sanyu maa and Mr. Abhimaan died on the spot and about Khushi, she was not there, I tried many ways to reach her even Karuna and other workers refused to say about her. After 3 months, recovering from my wounds I filled a case against Karuna as I turned into 18, she sentenced into life time imprisonment. I searched, searched for Khushi everywhere, but the results are null. Then one day, I saw her in a road with devasted looks and many wounds. So, I took her to the hospital and got to know she was abused badly and her mental condition are not good. After the advice from doctor, I took Khushi with me to London to continue our higher studies after closing the Singhania companies.
Arnav: Didn't you asked her what happened to her?
Lavanya: I tried many times Arnav, but she is not at all ready to disclose ot to me, eventually I left the topic. I don't want her to remember those incidents so I left the topic. She sometimes used to get nightmare on the initial days of London after that it eventually decreased , but suddenly, I don't know why she is behaving like that.
All are trying to analyse the situation, and they felt sorry for Khushi mostly Arnav who is very disturbed after the revelation.
