"Di...." Arnav rushed towards Anjali and held her gently. "Are you okay" he had so much pain in his eyes. Really it is too much for him to handle everything at a time. "Chote... Shyam ji" she couldn't continue as her tears rolled again. "Di... please try to control yourself.... Everything will be okay... he will be fine soon" he felt very difficult to utter the last sentence. He felt furious about her sister's condition. Slowly she stood and in the meantime doctor came out along with Akash.


"Doctor" Arnav approached him while holding his sister along with him. "How is he now" Anjali struggled. "I have given the drug to reduce the pain and other common symptoms... if we can find the scorpion we can treat him accordingly... knowing what type it is..." he suggested. "Hari Prakash" Arnav's yell made Anjali to wince a bit while made HP to rush to him within seconds. "I don't know what you will do... I want that scorpion to be found as soon as possible" he didn't need to say a word more as HP made himself engulfed in his mission along with his brother.


Arnav shifted Shyam to the guest room along with the doctor and others. Anjali felt so weak and couldn't handle her tears by watching Shyam like that. She moved herself to mandir and sat there looking at the Goddess idol. Naniji and Maamiji sat with her too. Arnav felt difficult to watch his sister broken so badly. He held his fist thinking what will happen if she comes to know about Khushi's broken engagement. "What will happen if his jijaji is at fault" he couldn't think even... this is so damn confusing to him. "Khushi" his heart cried for her. "Her eyes... it never failed him whenever she's uttering truth... and he has seen the same thing when she said about her broken engagement... the hesitation... in hurting him" he closed his eyes as everything haunted him.


"Khushi ji" NK's voice made Arnav jerk to reality. He saw NK in phone. He guessed that she must have called. Actually Buwaji wanted to talk with Naniji about the next day event also she wanted to thank her for the wonderful Sangeet. So Khushi called for Buwaji. But on hearing NK's worried tone she asked whether everything is okay. NK told all to her and hung the call. There Khushi conveyed to her family and they didn't know what to do.... How to react... that whether to be happy that Shyam got paid for his evil mind or to worry about Anjali's condition. Khushi stood in front of her Devi Mayya idol and prayed for Anjali's sake.


She thought about Arnav and tears welled up. She really wanted to be with him as she can guess how weak he must be looking Anjali's tears. But poor did she know that he had lots going on his mind. Finally to her relief Buwaji called her and told that they will go RM as they are family now and they needed them especially in difficult times though they didn't care for Shyam.... They do care for Anjali and others.


Very unfortunate for that scorpion since HP caught it dead and came out to others. Everyone looked at it with wide eyed. The doctor examined it and told them that it's a red scorpion, a very dangerous one and if not treated properly the victim can lose his dear life. With that he rushed towards the guest room and injected Shyam with another one. Shyam is unconscious and lying on the bed like a dead person only with his mild breathing. The doctor came out and told them that he will sleep for hours and he will feel better in the morning. He also told them to let him know if anything happens. Akash went with doctor. Arnav wondered how that scorpion came to their room. He felt suspicious about it and kept it within himself.


Anjali felt hard to breath and went to mandir again. She didn't listen to anyone when they told her to have something. She refused saying that she will sit there till Shyam opens his eyes. Everyone felt helpless. Arnav gritted his teeth and fumed unknowingly thinking about Shyam.


"Khushi ji" NK called out when she arrived along with Buwaji and Payal. Arnav's eyes felt relief in finding her but still his heart is heavy with his thoughts. She too looked him but when he moved his stare from her she was sure that something is seriously troubling him as her heart felt weird. She brushed every thought and instantly went to Anjali. On seeing her Anjali hugged her tight as if their unsaid words are understandable with each other. "Khushi ji" she trembled with tears relieving from their hug. "Anjali ji.... Please don't cry... I can't see you like this... Nothing will happen to him... Devi Mayya hai na" she uttered with her own tears.


Something struck Arnav's mind and he couldn't watch them anymore. His sister and now Khushi... they are his priorities now... no matter what happened. He went to his room. When Khushi came to know that Anjali didn't have anything, she was sure that others must be hungry too. She and Payal rushed to the kitchen and prepared some snacks along with tea. Khushi insisted Anjali so much that at last she gave up for Shyam and drank her tea to everyone's relief. Payal and HP gave it to others. Khushi took a tray of coffee and went towards Arnav's room with heavy heart.


Arnav is pacing restlessly. The pain in Khushi's eyes clearly showed her concern towards his beloved sister. His heart is cent percent sure that she must have struggled herself for his sister's sake. She must have feared how he will be taking it. Arnav even remembers how Shyam held her during Sangeet night and how she struggled... her welled up eyes.... He is damn sure that she will always think about others before considering herself. Maybe she hesitated to tell first coz of his sister... his thoughts came to halt when Khushi knocked his door.
