6 years later...
Anjali ran up the stairs screaming as Arnav ran behind her...trying to catch hold of her...but the mistress of mischief just wouldnt stop...just as he was about to give up...Payal caught hold of her...Anjali gave an angry pout as Payal carried her towards Khushi who was waiting at the dinning hall ready with a glass of milk in her hands...together Payal and Khushi made Anjali drink it up in one gulp...she was kissed on both her cheeks by Khushi and Payal while Arnav and Akash laughed seeing seeing Anjali pout...
Anjali was an exact replica of her mother...beautiful and cute...usually quiet but since Khushi was her mother...over the years she seemed to have absorbed some of Khushi's naughtiness...
it had been 6 years since Anjali died and still not a day passed when Arnav and Khushi didnt think about her...raising little Anjali had been a pleasure for them and they couldnt help wishing that if Di had been alive she would have been so happy to see her little princess now...little Anjali was the princess of her family...her every wish was granted thanx to the great Arnav Singh Raizada whom she had as her father...Akash and NK made sure that Anjali never stopped smiling...Mamaji Mamiji Naniji Khushi and Payal showered all their love and affection on Anjali but Anjali was at the moment excited about the two new arrivals in the family !!!!!
it was a morning ritual for her to walk upto Khushi and Payal who were in their 7th and 4th month of pregnancy respectively...she would place her face on their belly and talk endlessly to her soon to arrive siblings...she had already decided their names too...
life couldnt have been more perfect for the Raizadas...their only grief was the loss of Anjali...the daughter of their house...
Arnav and Akash were busy in a conference call...it was 10 pm already...they both had started working from their home since the day they came to know that their wives were expecting...so at the moment they were in their office room at RM busy with their work...they both just wanted to finish off the call so that they could go back to their wives...suddenly they heard a knock at the door...Arnav went and opened the door and was surprised to see Anjali giving them death stares...she walked in ignoring Arnav...she glared at Akash who immediately stopped talking to their clients and looked at her...
Arnav: what happened princess...did u need something ???
Anjali: Papa I dont need anything...but my mama needs something...and Chachu...my Chachi too needs something...
Anjali then took charge...she shutdown their laptops...switched off the lights...and dragged both of them out of the room and took them to their bedrooms...she went to Akash's room first where theysaw Khushi and Payal talking to each other...they saw Arnav and Akash being dragged into the room by Anjali and burst out laughing seeing their husband's defeated expression...if there was anyone one the planet who could control the Raizada brothers then it was Anjali...just like how Di ruled RM...her little princess now ruled it !!!
Anjali pushed Akash onto the bed and looked at him...
Anjali: there u go Chachi...Chachu u better stay with Chachi now or else tomo morning first thing she is moving into my room...if u cant take care of her then I will take her with me and u can sleep
all alone in this room...u wont be seeing Chachi after that !!!!
Akash couldnt help laughing at Anjali but he put on a mock serious expression and answered her...
Akash: sorry princess...today onwards your Chachi will never be left alone k !!!! its a promise !!!
Akash then lifted her in his arms and hugged her tight...giving her a good night kiss while Payal ruffled her hair...Anjali hugged him back and then hugged Payal and kissed her goodnight...she then hugged Payal around her belly and gave good night kisses to the baby...she looked around to see Arnav and Khushi watching her with tears in their eyes...she glared at them...
Anjali: Papa what are u waiting for ??? Mama needs rest and she cant walk...she is too tired...u have to carry her in your arms and take her to your room...cant u do that much on your own ??
why do I have to tell u everything that mama needs !!!!
Arnav couldnt stop his tears...Anjali reminded him so much of his Di...she bossed him just like his Di did...without a word he picked her up and placed kisses all over her face...Khushi too covered Anjali with her kisses...Anjali slowly got out from her parents arms...she wrapped herself around her mama's belly and kissed the baby good night and ran to her room...Akash saw Arnav crying and got up and hugged him...he knew how much Arnav missed Di...they all did...
Akash: Bhai I know I dont have to tell u but...Di wherever she is...she is very happy today to see her princess...she is happy to see all of us happy...she is happy to see her princess loved !!!
Arnav turned to Khushi who looked at him smiling...Akash hugged Khushi goodnight while Arnav hugged Payal...he then turned towards khushi giving her his signature smirk and before she realised he had picked her in his arms and carried her off to their room...
soon after Anjali's death...Dadi had agreed to testify against Shyam...she was witness to his confession at the hospital...Shyam was caught and was now locked up in jail for a good number of years...
dadi was immensely guilty for her actions...she stayed with them for 2 years...she loved Khushi and Payal like her own kids...but she started cravingfor the quiet life of an ashram...so she left them
and went off to the ashram but still visited them regularly...Akash couldnt have been more happy with Payal and their soon to be born baby...but little Anjali always came first for them...
Arnav placed Khushi gently on their bed and got in next to her and took her in his arms and hugged her tight...his one hand resting on her womb...he couldnt have asked for anything more out
of his life...Khushi was his world...his life...his heart...she was the perfect mother to Anjali...he couldnt wait to hold their baby in his arms...he secretly wished for a girl just like Khushi... Khushi knew he wanted a girl and hoped that his wish came true...
Khushi had insisted that she wanted a baby of their own only after Anjali had grown up a little...she wanted to make sure that Anjali didnt miss out on anything...she wanted to make sure that Anjali got all the love and care before she shared her parents with another baby...Arnav knew Khushi loved Anjali more than their own baby...he swore to himself that he would have the best in the world for Khushi and their kids...
He gently placed a kiss on her womb and then took her into his arms and kissed her...holding her tight in his arms...never to let go ever...lost in their love and passion as another day passed peacefully...in the wee hours of dawn they drifted off to sleep having spend the night loving each other...talking...laughing...feeling their baby move around in Khushi's stomach...whispering promises never to let go of each other...to always love each other...they slept hugging each other as close as possible...
Anjali smiled from the heavens above watching her family...tears in her eyes as she saw how much they loved her princess...she became their guardian angel...watching over them...preventing evil forces from coming anywhere near her family...
Life had come a full circle for Arnav and Khushi...they had their share of pain and troubles but their love won out in the end...they were at peace now...happiness and laughter filled their lives
as they prepared to welcome their first born into their world of perfect bliss...the Gods watching over them smiled seeing the much in love couple and their happy little world...they blessed them
with all the happiness in the world...

Anjali slowly turned towards her Dadi who for once in her life seemed at a loss for words...they had been terribly wrong...they had trusted the wrong person and now the naked truth stared at them without pity mocking them for their pig headedness...they had turned away from the people who loved them for someone who was after nothing but money and now he himself had deserted them.
They had nowhere to go and there was a little baby who had no reason to suffer for their sins...Anjali slowly found her voice...
Anjali: Dadi pls go and inform Nani and pls request her to come here...and pls could u take care of my baby...I want to be left alone for sometime...
Dadi realised that Anjali was right...she needed some time to herself and also Devyani was the only person who would understand them now...she had to talk to her...so she left Anjali in the room and went to talk to Devyani...holding the baby in her arms...
As soon as Dadi left Anjali broke down...but tears had deserted her...emotions had deserted her...her sins were mocking her...flashes of all the past incidents...her brother's tears and agony at her betrayal...Khushi's tears when she had insulted her...the image of Khushi who has stood shocked as she hurled insults at her...her heart writhed in agony...the reason why she left her family himself had given it to her...she had trusted a person who had cast his lustful eyes on her chottey's love...she had trusted someone who had tried to kill her brother...she realised that she no longer deserved to be loved by her family...she had proven herself unworthy of their love...she smiled when she thought about Khushi being in her brother's life...she knew Khushi would always keep Arnav happy...but she couldnt let her daughter pay for her sins...yes she owed her daughter that much...she knew who she could trust now...she knew with whom her daughter would be safest...she knew Khushi would be a much better mother to her baby...
Anjali got up from her bed...and grabbed a piece of paper and slowly wrote down her last words...Anjali Singh Raizada wrote her last words to Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada
Khushiji
I dont know if I have the write to beg for forgiveness...I dont think am worthy of even that...as I write this letter I know who is right and who is wrong...I know who loved me and I hurt the people who loved me...I raised chottey like my own son but I failed to understand his love...beyond imagination I have hurt him and if it wasnt for U my chottey would have been destroyed...I know its your love that keeps him alive...I can see his happiness with u and I want that to last forever...more than that I can see how much u loved me...U have loved me as much as chottey loved me...U truly loved me like your elder sister...but I have damaged my relation with everyone in my home beyond repair...nothing will ever be the same and I am not strong
enough to live with this guilt...I cant Khushi...each breath that I take...its hurting me...but I have one last request...my daughter...she doesnt deserve to be punished for her mother's sins...am leaving her in your care...I know u can be a much better mother to my baby...she doesnt deserve a mother like me...pls raise her as your own...never tell her about her mother...she doesnt have to know me...she doesnt have to live her life in the shame that she was born to an evil sinner like me...am going Khushi...take care of my baby and more than that take care of chottey...I know I dont have to tell u coz I know u love him more than your own life.my prayers are always with u.
Love
Di
Anjali kept the letter on the table and left the room...she slipped out of the hospital unnoticed...she walked off aimlessly...no clue where she was going...her life played out in front of her...her parents death...her chottey's love and care...her marriage...her betrayal...how Khushi had begged and pleaded her to believe her and the most painful...her husband's real face...his admission that he craved only Khushi...his admission that she was nothing more than trash for him...his admission that that he had tried to kill Arnav...
She didnt see the truck speeding her way...she didnt hear the blaring horns...she didnt hear the shouts from the onlookers...she heard nothing as she was hit...send flying into the air...the physical pain was nothing compared to her mental agony...felt nothing as her body lay in a pool of blood...the last image in her eyes was that of her baby...and a smile crossed her face as she realised that her baby was in safe hands...her agony was over and her baby had Khushi as her mother...
Anjali...born as a Raizada...died as a Raizada...died coz she couldnt live with guilt...she paid for her sins with her own death...she lost her loved ones coz of her own sins...had she tried to live she would have realised that her family would have taken her back...would have realised that her chottey and Khushi still loved her like before...that they hoped and yearned that she would come back...but life isnt always meant to be beautiful...life is also ugly and Anjali Raizada's life was testimony to the ugliness and cruel nature that fates throw at us at times...
2 hours later...
Anjali's body was found...she had died on the spot...Raizadas were at the hospital...Dadi kept uttering her silent apologies but nobody heard her...Nani and Mami wept...Payal and Mamji was with them...Akash and NK were taking care of the formalities...Khushi had not uttered a word all the while...Di's letter was pressed to her heart as she cried...Khushi
ran to the nursery to Di's baby...the angel was sleeping unaware that her mother had left her...Khushi took her in her arms...pressing kisses all over her face...as she held the baby she could feel Di in her...she felt like she were in the arms of Di once again...Arnav stood watching Khushi crying with the baby in her arms...he had read the letter his Di left Khushi...he had got his Di back but also lost her...Anjali had died as his Di...not as Mrs.Jha...he could understand her actions...his Di had never been strong...it had always been him who had supported her...his heart
broke coz of the fact that his Di was no more...he had lost his mother figure...but he was happy that his Di was at peace now...he knew that had she been alive she would have lived every second of her life in agony and guilt...he was happy that his Di was at peace finally...
He looked at Khushi who held his Di's baby as though it was the most precious soul in her life...he knew Khushi would be the best mother to his Di's baby...he walked upto her and hugged her and the baby in her arms...Khushi kept her head on his chest...her tears falling freely...he hugged her tighter in his arms...kissing her on her forhead...looked at the baby who seemed to be perfectly happy in Khushi's arms...baby looked like she had found heaven in Khushi...he couldnt help smiling...he knew Khushi's arms was heaven to anyone whom she loved...his love for her
was testimony to the fact...he placed a kiss on the baby's cheeks...promising his Di that he and Khushi would raise the baby like their own...He slowly lead Khushi along with the baby back to
Shantivan...back to their home and to a new beginning...Arnav and Khushi took little Anjali into their lives...she became the princess in their life..the princess of the Raizada family.

Shyam sat lost in his own evil scams...his plans had all gone wrong...he had been banking on Arnav's love for his Di...but that had backfired...Anjali was no longer part of Arnav's life...she was out for good...Arnav wasnt the same person for whom his Di had mattered the most...thanx to her love for her husband...she had lost her brother and family...Arnav had proved beyond an iota of doubt that his sister meant nothing to him...his wealth had been renamed in the name of the three Raizada brothers and they were united in their bond never to separate...what shocked wasnt just Arnav's actions...but NK and Akash too...the silent Raizadas had started talking and reacting...seeing their brother and wife in pain they had come forth very strong...the sting from NK's slap still burned his cheeks...the imprint still very clear on his face...frustration and fury were curling and threatening to break through his carefully built fake persona...
the sight of Anjali nursing her baby and Dadi hovering over them...the fact that these 3 people were his responsibility now cracked him...they were a burden he had unwittingly invited on himself...just then Anjali broke the train of his thoughts...
Anjali: Shyamji...the doctore have said that we can go home now.with our rajkumari...even am feeling fine now...why dont u complete the discharge formalities and settle the hospital bills...we will be ready by then.
thats when it snapped inside him...he had had enough...he was giving up now...he would think about some other way to get back at Arnav but he didnt want the burden of Anjali and her baby anymore...he decided to bring his wife to her senses...he was going to let realization hit her faster than a freight train...show her what a fool she had been to trust him...Anjali was a fool and she had fallen an easy prey...she had been fooled by her own stupid emotions that were ignorant to the truth that was staring at her...
Shyam: what home are u talking about Anjali ???
his voice was deadly calm as he faced her now...Anjali was confused at her husband's qs...his voice...the way he addressed her...something wasnt right...
Anjali: our home Shyamji...its time to take our princess home.
Shyam: whose princess ??? mine ??? I have only one princess in my life and thats neither U or your baby...its Khushi and u and your baby is the reason I lost her !!!
Anjali was shocked...this had to be a joke he was playing on her...she couldnt understand what her husband was talking about but the worst was yet to come...
Shyam: U are a fool Anjali...what do u think ??? that I truly love and your baby ??? why would I love a handicap like U ?? U are of no use to me now...I married u for your wealth Ms.Anjali Raizada...and life was comfortable with U...your brother took care of U..I just had to simply sit back and enjoy my life with U...but thats when she came into my life...Khushi...she was everything any man would want...beautiful is the word that describes her best...who do u think got her that job in AR so that she would always be within my reach...I did !!!
I tried all my ways to keep her with me...I wanted her so badly but I also wanted your money...her Bauji tried to come between us when he came to know about my marriage but i made sure that he doesnt speak another word ever...i made sure he spends his remaining life in that wheelchair of his...
but thats when your brother snatched her away...She came to know I was married to u and broke our engagement...she started hating me...she kept quiet thinking that I will love U...but she was so wrong...I could only love her...I saw her and your brother falling in love and I decided to put a break in their love story...I convinced your brother that Khushi and I loved each other and U were the one factor keeping us away !!!!
but what did your god damn brother do ??? he married her for a 6 month contract period to ensure that I stay with u...he hated her...he tortured her...but I could see his pain inside...he loved her yet he hated her...thats when I decided to take matters to the next level...I kidnapped him so that I could kill him and take all his wealth...and I would have succeeded had it not been for Khushi who understood my intentions and fooled me so that she could save him...I fell a fool for her plans...coz I wanted her so much !!!
things slipped out of my hands...I was thrown out and your brother and Khushi became each other's forever...I thought I could use u to get back at your brother but U are of no use to me now coz your brother doesnt give a shit as to whether u are alive or dead...and I dont give a damn either...I dont want u or your baby in my life...so its good bye time now Mrs.Jha...u can keep my name...thats your wish but u are no longer needed in my life !!!
and yes before leaving I have to tell u this...u are a fool woman...u are such a big fool...your brother has always loved u but u have lost him now...no one wants u Anjali...u are a loser...even he loves only Khushi now...but thats the charm of Khushi...no one can stop themselevs from falling in love with her...even I love her and one day she will be mine and also your brother's wealth...I will soon make sure that both of that comes to me...Farewell Mrs.Jha !!!
Anjali listened stunned as the devil she trusted and loved so much showed his true colors...her brother was right all along...and more than that...Khushi...her heart burned with guilt...Khushi had done so much to protect her and all she had been given in return was hatred !!!!
she watched as he turned and left...walking out of her life...trashing her as though she were a piece of paper that held no value to him...the baby was crying in her arms...Dadi stood witness to the revelation of the ugly truth.

NK took the wheels with Akash beside him...Arnav & Khushi were seated at the rear along with Payal...Payal looked at her sister who seemed to be lost as Arnav cuddled her in his arms...her face had gone pale...tear stained...Khushi was oblivious to everything around her...all she could hear was Anjali's and Dadi's accusations against her...Arnav closed his eyes...his fists clenched...veins across his temple were throbbing as he saw his wife...the reason for his existence in pain...it was always him and his family that became the reason for her pain...she had always tried to make everyone in his family happy and in turn had let herself get hurt...but he had enough today...he decided to put an end to it...he wasnt going to let anything hurt Khushi again...living or non-living...mortal or immortal...he wasnt gonna let anything anywhere near her that might cause her pain...yes Arnav Singh Raizada had seen enough of pain and betrayal...but not anymore...Khushi was all that mattered now.
Arnav looked at Khushi who looked at him...she could his love for her reflected in the molten brown eyes of her husband...his eyes full of tender love for her...her eyes teared up as fresh bouts of tears attacked her...but Arnav didnt let them fall...he kissed them away...slowly one by one...he cradled in his arms...pulling her into the crook of his neck...burying himself in her tresses...
Arnav: Khushi I know u are in pain...but I have decided Khushi...no more pain around us...u have been hurt enough...and each time coz of somebody in the Raizada parivaar...am not going to let anything or anyone hurt u again...my sister by birth...I have broken all my bonds with her...I wont let her be the reason for your pain again...its going to be just us and the people who truly love us now...its over Khushi...the pain is over..
Arnav placed a soft yet firm kiss on her lips...and Khushi responded...unaware that they had their family were around them...or maybe they didnt care...Payal looked away...she was happy...happy that her sister was with the person who deserved her the most...she looked at Akash...their eyes communicating silently...his eyes assuring her that he will never let anyone hurt her or her sister ever again...NK meanwhile was busying thinking where to go...finally he decided to stop at the beach.
as soon as they reached Akash and NK came around and dragged Khushi from Arnav...they literally lifted her and placed her on the beach...Khushi ran away from them with Nk and Akash chasing her...Arnav and Payal slowly followed them...smiling seeing the people they loved the most so happy...
Payal: Arnavji...I know u are hurt inside...we all know how much u loved Di and what she meant to u...we all know that her actions rip your heart...more than Khushi I know its u who is hurt...u are hurt coz of your Di and also in pain seeing Khushi in pain...but i want to thank you Arnavji...for giving my sister all the happiness she deserves.
Arnav: Payal...u are partially right and partially wrong...am hurt Payal but not coz of my sister...her actions did hurt me...she broke my heart...when she chose her husband over me...but it doesnt hurt me now...and its coz of Khushi...her love healed me Payal...I dont miss my sister anymore coz my sister whom I loved more than my own life has long been dead...she doesnt exist anymore...Payal today if am hurt then its coz my Khushi is in pain...do u see her running around with NK and Akash...she is trying to be happy for all of us but inside she is breaking...my Khushi is in pain Payal...and thats what hurts me now...I swear by all the gods Khushi prays to...I will remove all her pain.
Payal felt proud and happy that her sister was in safe arms...she gave Arnav a tight hug...Arnav was surprised initially coz Payal had always kept a distance with him...but he was glad that the ice was melting...he hugged her back...feeling the same happiness that he felt while hugging his sister...
Arnav: and as far as missing my sister...how can I miss her when she is in my arms...hugging me tight ????...next Rakhshabandhan...u have to tie your first rakhi on your brother okay ???
Payal looked at Arnav with tears in her eyes...she had finally got the brother she had always craved for...she nodded...happy tears cascading down her face...they didnt realise that the last bit of their convo had been overheard by Akash NK and Khushi...all of them happy seeing the cute bro-sis convo...Arnav looked at Khushi who was looking at him with so much love that he held out his arms for her and she ran into his arms...hugging him tight...she placed a firm kiss on his lips...a kiss full of love and passion...Akash laughed seeing the love birds lost as NK and Payal shared a hug...
Arnav was lost in his angel...he broke the kiss...and smiled at her...removing the stray strands of her hair from her face...he felt as though he could gaze at her for an eternity...Akash brought them out of their reverie...
Akash: okay love birds dont u think its time for some masti...we had enough of emotional talks today...and Bhai since u mentioned rakhi...Khushi I dont think I need to tell u that U have to tie rakhi for me and NK from next year onwards...
NK: thanku Akash for including me...u always steal my lines and then u always leave me out Payal bhabhi and Khushi bhabhi...both of u are going to tie me rakhi next year okay ???
Khushi and Payal smiled...nodding their heads and then went over and gave NK a big tight hug crushing him in their arms...Arnav and Akash couldnt resist joining the hug and went an dwrapped their arms around their respective wives turning it into a group hug
without warning Arnav lifted Khushi in his arms as she screamed in surprise and ran towards the water...immersing her completely in it as he held her tight...they were soon joined by NK...Akash and Payal...it was a treat to watch as the group went about splashing water on each other...they spend a good deal of time in the water and then came back to the shore...they lied down on the sands staring up at the star lit sky...Arnav held Khushi in his arms as they gazed at the stars together...occasionally Arnav placed kisses along her face...NK akash and Payal were busy building sand castles...they looked at Arnav and Khushi lost in each other and decided to spare them for sometime...
as it became late night...Arnav decided that it was time to get back...Khushi had almost fallen asleep...he carried his angel in his arms...soon they reached RM...Nani opened the door surprised to see her grandchildren drenched top to bottom...they told her they had gone to the beach...she smiled at them and then looked at arnav who held a sleeping Khushi in his arms...she smiled happily seeing an angelic Khushi sleeping in Arnav's arms...her pain forgotten...she placed a gentle kiss on Khushi's forhead...Arnav carried Khushi to their room...he didnt have the heart to wake her up but she had to get fresh...he placed her on the recliner and went to freshen up...once he came out he decided to wake her up...he placed soft lingering kisses on her face and neck slowly cajoling her to wake up...Khushi slowly woke up...Arnav told her to get fresh...Khushi went inside and freshened up...but as she came outside she saw that their room had been lit with candles and the lights had been turned off...she looked around for Arnav and saw him waiting for her by the poolside...he had a placed a quilt on the poolside...just enough for the two of them...he saw her looking at him...he smiled at her and held out his hand to her...Khushi took his hand and he tugged at her...landing her gently on his chest...their lips mere inches from each other...drowning in their love they gazed at each other lost...
Arnav: I love U Khushi and I promise U...the pain is over...no more...nothing will ever hurt u again...u are forever safe in my arms.
with that he rolled over...Khushi was beneath him...he looked at her and gently grazed his lips over hers...she opened them and taking it as her approval he kissed her...kissed her as though it was their first kiss...Khushi moaned as he ravished her...she pulled him into her arms...holding him tight...and the night passed as the two lovers lost themselevs in each other...lost in their love and passion...lost in their all consuming love for each other...

The Raizadas reached the hospital...Shyam saw the them coming since he was at the reception but he gets puzzled seeing Arnav Akash and NK staying back at the reception while the ladies proceeded to meet Anjali and her baby...Shyam made his way back to the room...he didnt tell Anjali or Dadi about the Raizadas arrival...he wanted to see the turn of events...wanted to see it played out without any warnings.
As soon as the door opened Anjali glanced up...her face broke into a bright smile as she saw her Nani and Mami along with Khushi and Payal...Dadi was surprised on their arrival remembering how Nani had slammed the phone when she had called her earlier.
Anjali: Nani I knew you would come to see me and my baby...I knew u wouldnt be able to stay away from my baby...knew your anger would vanish...Nani but where are the others...where is chottey ?? and what about Akash and NK...why didnt they come ??? I cant wait to see chottey holding my baby.
Nani: Anjali bitiya...dont go around looking for chottey...he wont come...neither will Akash or NK...do u think they are going to come to u when u have chosen to live with a man like Shyam ??? Akash and NK love their brother...U broke chottey's trust when u chose Shyam...after seeing Arnav in pain coz of u...do u think Akash and NK will come to u ??
forget about them do u think I came here to see u ??? u are wrong Anjali...I came here only to see your baby...the baby isnt at fault for what her parents did then why should I deny the baby her share of love...so pls dont think I have forgiven u !!!
Khushi saw that things were escalated and going out of control and decided to intervene but before she could speak Mami spoke up...
Mami: your Nani is right Anjali...after what u have done to Arnav bitwa dont u ever think that we will forgive u...if it was possible I would have taken your child also away from u...with a mother like u...the baby will only suffer...a mother who cant realise and judge right and wrong can never be a good mother...did u even think about your chottey ??? your chottey always did everything for your happiness and what did u give him in return...only pain and betrayal...thank heavens that Khushi bitiya is there in his life...if it wasnt for her love we would have lost our Arnav bitwa...if Arnav smiles today then its only coz of his Khushi...we saw him crying after ages the day u left and if Khushi had not been there we would have never seen him smile...do u know how happy your brother is today with his wife and family ???...so dont expect him to come and meet u...and Akash and NK will never meet anyone who have dared to hurt their brother.
Khushi decided to stop Mami...Payal also understood that it was time to stop Mami from saying too much.
Payal went and held Mami by her shoulders.
Payal: Ma pls its okay...Arnavji is happy today then why are u thinking back to those hateful days ???...we came here to meet the baby...didnt we ??...so lets just stop talking about what is already past...lets just meet Dis baby.
Khushi was holding Nani...seeing her hurt after recollecting all those days in their lives when her grandson was in pain.she looked at Anjali who looked shocked hearing her nani and mami speak to her in such rude tones...Khushi went upto Anjali and held her hands...
Khushi: Di pls dont take into heart what Naniji and Mamiji said...they still love u...what u heard is just their anger...Di...where is our little angel...I cant wait to meet my niece...Di how are u now ??? dont worry about Arnavji...he will also come to meet u one day along with Jiju and Nanehji.
Anjali snatched her hands away from Khushi and turned to her with a look of deep hatred...
Anjali: enough Khushi...dont act all innocent...u are the reason I lost my brother and my family...they are all so blinded by your fake love...U and ur sister are just gold diggers who have set out to ruin my family...one day they will realise that I was right and that day they will come back to me...first u went after my husband and when he didnt fall for your charms u trapped my brother and then my entire family...its coz of u my family hates me now...my brothers didnt even come to see my daughter and then u turn up acting all innocent...just stay away from me khushi and dont u dare come near my daughter...u are the last person I want to see near my daughter.
Nani and Mami seethed with fury seeing Anjali blame Khushi for no fault of hers...they regretted coming to meet Anjali...they came to meet Anjali only coz Khushi convinced them and now Khushi was in tears as she cried on Payal's shoulders.
Dadi was glad seeing Anjali hit back at Khushi...she decided to add her contribution to the already burning fire...
Dadi: Anjali is right...if it wasnt for this casteless girl my grandson would never have gone away from his sister whom he loved more than anyone else...this girl is a bane on any family she goes to...gold digger that she is..she has turned our entire family against us !!!!
Dadi and Anjali too busy in insulting Khushi didnt notice 3 figures who were standing at the doorway...Arnav Akash and NK had come up wondering why the ladies were taking so long...Arnav had sensed Khushi's pain...his heart told him that she was in pain and that she needed him...they had heard everything that Anjali and Dadi told Khushi...world turned dark around Arnav as fury overtook him...it took his entire self control to stop him from going and slapping his sister for hurting Khushi despite everything she had done for her...Dadi was too busy taunting Khushi when she heard a blood curdling scream...
Arnav: ENOUGH !!!
all eyes were on Arnav...Anjali and Dadi stood shocked seeing Arnav standing at their doorway...rage evident in his eyes...he gave Anjali a look of pure loathing...he looked at Khushi who was crying in Payal's arms...she looked at him and his gaze softened...he couldnt see her in pain...Khushi couldnt take it anymore...she ran into his arms...sobbing uncontrollably...Arnav hugged her tight as she cried her heart out.
Akash was holding Payal who was crying seeing her sister in pain.NK looked at Shyam who was smirking seeing the family he loathed in pain...it took all his control to stop him from going and slapping shyam...instead he went Nani and Mami who had tears in their eyes but no words were enough to describe Arnav just then...he had enough...his sister had done enough damage...he was going to clear out all her misconceptions today...he was going to let her know that he hated her.
Arnav was about to speak when Khushi looked at him with beseeching eyes pleading him not to say anything cruel to Anjali...he couldnt understand his wife just then...how could she forgive so easily...how much more selfless could she be ???
Arnav: why Khushi ?? why my love...how can u forgive so easily...how can u stand these insults she has thrown on you after all that u have done for her ?? no Khushi I wont let this repeat again...my sister by birth she maybe but she no longer has a place in my heart...u have cried enough love...not anymore...didnt we all come here coz u wanted us to ??? what did u get khushi ??? cant u see how blinded these people are ???
Anjali: enough chottey...u are talking about your sister...how can u be so blind ??? cant u see shyamji taking care of me...would he do all this if he didnt love me...he would have abandoned me long back...why cant u see that khushi is fooling u ??? why cant u see that she is taking u away from your sister ??
Arnav: enough Mrs.Jha...not another word against my wife...I feel disgusted to even think that we were born of the same mother...that the same blood runs in our veins...dont u dare call me chottey...my sister who loved me and used to call me chottey is dead as far as I know...u are nothing but a mere shade of my dead sister...do u even know why your family came to meet u and your baby ??? you should thank Khushi that we even came here...none of wanted to see u...we shouldnt have come...if we hadnt then Khushi wouldnt be in pain today...it was Khushi who convinced all of us to come here...she told us not to take out our anger on an innocent soul and now she is in pain...am making it clear today...u have no place in my heart or in my house...u can live with your husband who according to u loves u truly but if this man leaves u then dont even think of coming back to me coz I dont want to see your face ever...I have my family whose happiness is of utmost importance and now u are the reason they are all in pain...u accused Khushi and Payal of being gold diggers...u will very soon realise who is the real gold digger...and dont u dare anythin that hurts Khushi and Payal...Khushi is my life and Payal is my sister now...I dont think I need to make u understand the importance of a sister in my life...one word against them...u will have to deal with ASR for the rest of your life...I wont leave any stone unturned to make your life a living hell !!! as for this man being with u...its only coz he thinks one day I will take u back...he thinks he can lay hands on the Raizada wealth through U and the day he realises he cant he will leave u...mark my words Mrs.Jha coz that day isnt far away !!!
Arnav then turned towards shyam who was shaking in silent anger as he saw his plan falling apart !!!!
Arnav: if u think u can get our wealth through this woman then u are wrong...I have altered my will...this woman who is my sister by birth has no stake on any of the Raizada wealth...the will now states that Arnav Akash and NK has equal stakes on the Raizada wealth...so dont harp on your dreams of getting to us using your wife !!!!
Akash and NK were proud seeing their brother speak up for both the daughters of their house...they just wanted to take Arnav and Khushi and the others and get out from the dratted place !!!!
Akash: Mr and Mrs.Jha...I hope your misconception have been cleared...Mrs.Jha...u wont see your family again...anyone who dares to hurt anyone in my family...be it my wife or my sister or my brother or anyone for that matter has no place in my heart...we are leaving and Mrs.Malik...we all know u are the one feeding poison into Mrs.Jha...am saying on behalf of my brother here...your son has done enough damage to the Raizadas...its coz of him that my brother lost his mother and I lost my badi ma...I will personally make sure that Maliks dont inflict more pain on my brother !!!!
Khushi and Payal watched Akash stunned...they had never seen Akash so angry...Akash then gestured all of them to get going...Arnav held Khushi tight in his arms as he turned to leave..but he stopped seeing NK move towards Shyam...and before they knew it he slapped Shyam tight on his face...SMACK
NK: that was for hurting Nanav...Khushi bhabhi and my entire family...one isnt enough for the stinking bas***d that u are but I dont want to make my hands filthy by touching U...dont u dare come near any of us ever again...and Mrs Jha...u dont know what u have lost and by the time u realise it will be too late !!!!
the Raizadas left leaving the Jhas and Maliks stunned into silence...NK gave Arnav and Akash a triumphant smile. Arnav and Akash couldnt help laughing seeing the satisfied look on NK's face...he had done what they both were itching to do and he had done it for all three of them...they were truly at peace now.
NK: if u thought I was going to leave before giving that cheat what he deserves then u are wrong...am as much a Raizada as both of u...am not going to let that creep get away with hurting my family !!!!
Arnav looked at Khushi who seemed stricken seeing the events happenin around her...she looked at her husband and brothers who loved her so much...it eased her pain but it didnt stop...she still couldnt forget the accusations that Anjali and Dadi had thrown on her.
Arnav made her sit in the car...he arranged for Nani and Mami to be dropped off home...Akash and NK had decided that Payal and Khushi needed cheering up and Arnav couldnt have agreed more to them..they decided to have a night out before returning home...Nani and Mami were only too happy to let their children have some much needed fun...they kissed Khushi and Payal and blessed them and left for RM while the young Raizadas headed out for an all night rendezvous

Khushi had a busy day at RM...Arnav had left early since he had a conference call and he hoped to seal an important deal today which meant that he wasnt coming home for lunch...he usually made it a point to have lunch with his wife and family after marriage since he loved spending time with them but today he couldnt and that meant Khushi was taking his lunch to office...she wasnt going to let him skip meals...so she was busy preparing her hubby's favorite dishes...a song on her lips and a beautiful smile adorning her face since she was lost in her dreams that had only her hubby in them
meanwhile life wasnt going so happy and smooth for Anjali...her delivery date was approaching and she was missing her family...well her family wasnt missing her at any cost coz they never came to meet her...she had run into them a couple of times at the temple...Khushi was the only one who showed an inclination to talk to her but each time Nani and Mami took Khushi away ignoring Anjali as though she were a statue...she had also met Arnav Akash and NK...Akash and NK acted as though they didnt even care she existed and Arnav didnt even spare her a second look...it tore at her heart that her family hated her but her ego didnt permit her to admit her folly and her husband wasnt as adoring as he always used to be...infact he seemed greatly irritated by her prescence and pregnancy cravings...it made her feel foolish for leaving her family for her hubby but she didnt have the courage to admit it so she went about pretending that her life was perfect...also she had Dadi who added to her workload at home...without the luxury of servants it was upto her to take care of the house now...time flew and soon Anjali found herself in the hospital...writhing in pain as the baby seemed in no hurry to come out and ease her pain...Shyam was out with her Dadi...he didnt show any interest in staying with her in the delivery room to ease her pain...he was out hoping that the Raizadas would come...he had managed to brainwash Dadi and make her believe that the Raizadas had a right to know that the baby was soon to be born...Dadi had fallen for the trap and had called at RM and informed Naniji that Anjali was about to deliver...Naniji hadnt replied at all...she simply kept the phone leaving Dadi stunned !!!!!
Meanwhile at RM Naniji had informed everyone that Anjali was about to deliver...she looked at Arnav who didnt even look up hearing the news...it was Khushi who spoke first...she went upto Arnav...
Khushi: Arnavji I know U are angry but dont u think we should meet Di and her baby...maybe this could be the time to solve everything...why simply take our anger on that innocent soul about to be born today...the baby belongs to the Raizada family too...lets go Arnavji.
Arnav looked at Khushi pleading with him...her heart was such that she could easily forgive but her tenderness for Anjali and her baby only steeled his determination further...he got up and held Khushi by her shoulders and spoke directly to her...
Arnav: Khushi...my love...I love that heart of yours that can so easily forgive anyone no matter what they did but your husband isnt like that...I assure u Khushi I have nothing against the baby...my sister's baby is like my own blood to me but my sister has brokem my trust...she has ignored my love but what angers me most is the fact that she went with a man who made my wife's life hell...any person remotely connected to hurting my wife doesnt have a place in my heart...unless Anjali Jha apologises for hurting my wife and trusting a man who was lusting after my wife she has no place in my heart...u and this family is all that matters to me now !!!!
Arnav then looked at his family and spoke again...
Arnav: if there is anybody here who doesnt agree with me they can speak up now..am ready to hear them out.
The Raizadas assembled around them thought that their hearts might swell and burst with pride for Arnav Singh Raizada...Naniji was proud to see the love and trust that Arnav had on Khushi...she loved her grandson for giving so much respect for his wife and totally agreed with him...Akash and NK went and gave Arnav a hug and stood next to him...Payal was only to happy to see the love that her sister got from Arnav...Mamiji and Mamaji looked around and smiled see their united family...Mamiji was the first to speak...
Mamiji: Phatti Sari(Mamiji still called Khushi that coz Khushi liked hearing Mami call her that) u might be having a real big heart but we dont...I agree with Arnav bitwa...as long as Anjali doesnt apologise to both of u for what she did...I dont want to see her baby...she is living with a man who tried to kill my Arnav Bitwa and who tried to ruin my Khushi Bitiya's life...I dont care what u say but she is not part of this family for me.
Khushi looked around at her family who loved her so much and felt her eyes well up...Arnav saw that she was about to cry and stopped her tears even before they fell...
Arnav: Jaan pls dont start your waterworks now...I know u love to cry even when u are happy but I hate seeing them...so pls dont cry !!!
Khushi laughed seeing her Arnavji joke and simply hugged him tight burying her head into his chest while the rest of the Raizadas started laughing...Arnav hugged Khushi tighter and whispered in her ear...
Arnav: Khushi if u are going to stay in my arms longer then am going to have to take u right now into our bedroom...u know I cant control myself when u hug me like this
Khushi blushed and pulled out of the hug...she wasnt done yet...
Khushi: I agree and understand all your feelings...but think about the baby...lets go meet the baby atleast...Naniji Arnavji what is the baby's mistake in this...lets not punish the baby...pls
Arnav could see the truth in her words..he decided to let her see the baby but on one condition...
Arnav: Okay Khushi...U Naniji Payal and Mamiji can get ready...we guys will take u to the hospital but pls dont expect us to come inside and see the baby...coz that means we have to face Shyam and I dont think either me or my brothers can stand his sight...u ladies can meet the baby and come..is that fine with everyone ????
Akash was the first to answer...
Akash: Bhai is absolutely right...Khushi is as good as my sister and I dont think I can stand that stinking bas***d who tried to ruin my brother's marriage and hurt my sister...what about u NK bhai ???
NK: whats there to ask Akash ???...u think I can stand that creep...if it wasnt for Anjali Jha who happened to be my sister I would have strangled him for hurting Nanav and Khushi Bhabhi !!!!
Arnav: well thats settled then...everyone get ready...lets get this finished with !!!

Khushi slowly disentangled herself from Arnav's protesting arms...she didnt have the heart to get up but she knew she had to since the rest of the family must be awake by now and also their marriage was still impending and she wanted to get done with all the rituals asap so that she could be with Arnav never to part again...they got dressed soon and made their downstairs to where their family sat...they walked in hand in hand...a small smile playing on Arnav's lips...rest of the Raizadas were shocked to see the change in Arnav...shocked to see him smiling after the previous day's trauma...but then they realised the truth...Arnav was happy coz he had found true love in Khushi...love that could beat all odds...love that would help him forget all his pains and face all obstacles head on !!!!
They had breakfast with his family and then Arnav dropped Khushi home and went to his office...He had asked Nani to start all the marriage rituals from mehendi onwards...he wanted to complete them asap so that he could make Khushi his forever..he didnt want her out of his sight even for a day now if that was possible !!!!
leap of 2 months !!!!
Arnav & Khushi were happily married and in their own blissful heaven...Shantivan had indeed become true to its name now...Khushi had filled it with laughter and happiness...Arnav could be rightfully called the happiest soul on earth...his days started and ended with Khushi and his nights were incomplete unless Khushi were in his arms...he insisted on Khushi accompanying him on all his business trips coz he couldnt bear to part with her even for a matter of few days !!!!!
Their life was a honeymoon beyond their imagination...they were rightfully considered 1 soul and 2 bodies...Arnav had handed over his entire world to Khushi with the result that bereft of her he couldnt make a single decision...regarding his office or home matters !!!!!
Meanwhile going back two months to that fateful day when Anjali Jha went to her husband along with her Dadi...her life took a turn for the worse and she was living through hell now !!!!
Shyam on seeing that Anjali and Dadi had left Raizadas and chosen him cursed himself for ruining his plans...his intention to use Anjali to get back inside Shantivan and in due course snatch the Raizada wealth had flopped coz he never thought Arnav would throw his own sister out of his life !!!!!
well things change...priorities change and if Shyam was important to Anjali then Khushi was important to Arnav !!!!
but his wicked mind continued to plot coz he had the hope that one day Arnav would come for his sister...according to Shyam Arnav loved his sister too much to forget her for eternity...and the day he came back for her Shyam would play ball with him !!!!
Life meanwhile was difficult for Anjali and Dadi without the Raizada wealth to fuel their comforts...they were living a middleclass life now on Shyam's income and the effects were starting to show...Anjali started getting tired of her simple home...she also noticed that her husband wasnt too keen on her now that he had to fend for her...harsh realities of life had started mocking her...initially she took it in her stride and bore with it gracefully but her husband's lack of interest in her was putting her spirits down...also she had Dadi to take care of...Dadi was always complaining of what they had lost...cursing Khushi for taking Arnav away from them...poisoning Anjali's mind against Khushi...making Khushi appear as the soul responsible for her current state of affairs...add to the fact that she was heavily pregnant made it all the more difficult for her !!!!!
but little did Anjali Jha know that the worst was yet to come !!!!

Arnav woke up the next morning...his head felt heavy...his eyes were groggy...yet he felt at peace...despite the turn of events and his Di's betrayal...the pieces of the Jigsaw puzzle had fallen in place...he knew whom to trust and whom to avoid and he was happy for that...he was about to get up when he noticed that he wasnt lying on his pillow...it was only when he turned around that he realised he had slept the entire night in Khushi's arms !!!!!!
He looked at her face...a peaceful smile on her lips but her cheeks still bore the traces of tears that she had shed the previous night...she had slept the entire night resting herself on the headboard while he slept on her lap...he felt like his heart might burst with his love for the demure angel who was soon going to be his forever...what Khushi had done for him...he knew no one else would ever do it for him...not even his Di...his Di had shown her true colors after all...he ruined Khushi's life to keep his Di's intact and today his Di had left him and chosen her cheating husband over him but Khushi was still there with him..the irony of the situation was not lost on him !!!!!
All of a sudden the sun's rays filtered in thorough the French doors of their bedroom...illuminating the room with a pearly glow...bringing with it a new dawn in the life of Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada...Khushi shifted uncomfortably as the sun's rays hit her...Arnav gently pulled her and made her lie down and covered her petite frame with his to stop the sun's rays from falling on her face...he was lost in the innocence and beauty of her angelic features and to think that she belonged to him heart and soul was an incredible feeling !!!!!
Arnav Singh Raizada had fallen in love and he had fallen hard...despite all the pain...he was the happiest man alive on earth...as he held Khushi in his arms...it was as though he was holding his own person heaven !!!!!
He gently stroked her hair...planted feathery light kisses on her face as she slept...Khushi stirred in her sleep...her nose had turned to a deep hue of red as though sensing his kisses which made him chuckle to himself...aware of how Khushi was so attuned to his touch...She slowly opened her eyes and her vision took in a pair of brown smouldering eyes drinking in her beauty...she smiled softly realising that she was in Arnav's arms...Arnav saw his angel opening her eyes...her features softening as she gave him an angelic smile...he cupped her face gently in his hands and brought his lips closer to hers...he hesitated for a moment...Khushi had sensed his hesitation and made her move to assure him...she closed the distance between them as she glued her lips to his...what started as a soft morning kiss soon turned into a passionate assault...Arnav groaned as he bit on her lower lip...sucking it...seeking entrance into her mouth...Khushi moaned in response which was the cue for his entry...soon their tongues were fighting for dominance...they were lost in passion...breaking apart when they both felt the need to breathe...resting their forheads against each other...her lips had the red ripeness of having been thoroughly kissed...Arnav couldnt bring himself to pull apart from her...he wanted her...he wanted her to be his in every sense...he didnt want to wait anymore...but he knew he had to...he knew the importance that rituals held in Khushi's heart and this time he wanted to do it the proper way...in her way...but cupid had other plans in store !!!!!
Khushi felt Arnav pulling away and her heart protested...she knew that it was on her insistence that he had waited so long...infact he was still waiting but now she didnt want to wait...she wanted to be his forever...she knew it was a matter of days before she got married to him with all the rituals in place but she didnt want to wait anymore...he was her husband in her heart and thats what mattered...society and rituals could wait...yes Khushi Kumari Gupta had indeed become Mrs.Arnav Singh Raizada !!!!!
Khushi pulled Arnav back into her arms and he came willingly...but he wasnt prepared for what came next !!!!!
Khushi: Arnavji...I know u want me and I know u are waiting coz u think its important to me that we go through all the rituals...its true Arnavji that rituals hold a lot of importance to me but today I dont want to wait...U are my husband already in my heart and I want to be yours...I want to be your wife in every sense and I dont want to wait even if its for a few days !!!!!
Khushi buried herself in his arms leaving her laad governor in shock...had he heard her right..did she actually mean what she said !!!!!
well he would soon find out...his signature smirk back on his face !!!!!
He gently lifted her face and saw the acceptance in her eyes...the need in her eyes that matched his own need...his need to love her in all possible ways !!!!!
that was all he needed...he crashed his lips onto hers and she willingly obliged...they were soon lost in their personal haven !!!!!
Lips collided...their sheer passion and need evident...tongues fighting for dominance...Khushi moaned as she felt his lips leaving hers only to feel them again in the crooks of her neck...kissing...biting...sucking her as he marked her his forever...leaving small red marks that matched her crimson rosy blush...he soothed her with his magical touch making her forget everything else except his sensual prescence on her...clothes came apart...lying discarded on the floor...the lovers unknown to their state of nudity gave into their passion...Arnav was lost in his beauty of perfection...he held her breasts in his hand...her nipples taut at his touch...he gently sucked them making her scream his name...while his hands played havoc on her belly...drawing circles over her navel...Khushi pushed herself more into his arms...her hands running over his taut muscles...her touch and her lips send shivers down his spines...he moved down to her navel...slowly flicking his tongue over it...resulting in Khushi's moans getting louder...her feminity was throbbing for release...he couldnt hold out anymore...he felt his own release closing in...he kissed his way down her legs and then slowly upwards thrusting into her core...an erotic dance that prepared her for him...telling her to be prepared to take him in as he couldnt hold out any longer...he knew he had to be gentle with her as it was her first time...he knew it would hurt her...well it was his first time too...even though Lavanya was his first girlfriend he had never been intimate with her...he was never comfortable with her...the maximum was the kisses he gave her on her cheeks...but with Khushi it was all different...she had given birth to unknown emotions in him...emotions that had long been buried in the deep orbs of his heart...emotions that he were finally giving wings to never to tie then down again !!!!!
Arnav: Khushi its going to hurt a little jaan but I want u to trust me...I wont hurt U Khushi...I will ease your pain...make u forget it !!!!
Khushi:I trust U Arnav...pls dont hold out on me anymore...I want to be yours...I have waited long enough...infact we have waited long enough but not anymore !!!!
That was all it took to breach his self control as he thrusted into her...filling her up slowly...kissing away her pain...Khushi though it hurt her initially gave into their sensual dance without hesitations...she was an equal participant...she felt a blending of their souls like never before as he filled her...she felts their souls uniting never to be parted again...uniting for the next 7 lives !!!!!!
the 2 lovelorn souls lay in each others arms...listening to the morning sounds...their hearts content...secrets had been divested...no more secrets between them...Khushi rested her face on his chest...listening to his heartbeats as he gently stroked her hair !!!!!
