"May be its your punishment for insulting the true love which once knocked at your heart, Arnav" Saying that Khushi truned and wipe off her tears before it touch her cheeks and moved towards exit only to stopped at the exit.

"You are right Khushi, I don't deserve your love" His words made her to turn and looked at the horror scene.

Without thinking anything Khushi run towards Arnav.

"Stop there Khushi, You don't have to show the care for me" Arnav order.

"What the hell wrong with you Arnav, you are standing on the edge of the terrace. Will you please come down first" Khushi requested.

"You are right Khushi, I deserve this punishment as I did sin and you knew, I was puppet of Lavanya. but you don't know how I became puppet of her. You saw the pain in my eyes but reason for the pain was unknown to you. I entred college late because my di left all us for her love. I saw love where my dad left his wife and four kids for his so called love. I Saw love where my di left cheated and heart broken with a proof of baby who left this world on his birthday . So tell me how Could I believe the feelings called "love". I know the tragedy in my life doesn't give me the right to hurt anyone. But my stupid ego filled brain, hate against love and Lavanya's words against you and alcohols in me did that sins. And I am ready for any punishment you give me, But not ready to go through the punishment which never going to end. I am not ready to go through the punishment where no hope of love after that. I don't want to go through the punishment, WHERE YOU ARE NOT GIVING ME CHANCE TO PROVE MY LOVE AND WIN YOU BACK. BETTER THAN GOING THROUGH THIS PAINFUL PUNISHMENT AND KILLING ME EVERY SECOND WITH THE PAIN OF LOST LOVE. I AM ENDING MY LIFE HERE" Saying that Arnav turn to face ground and back facing Khushi.
