No proofread.

The media and everyone who didn't know stood stunned by the revelation.

Arnav smirked and winked at Khushi who was blushing uncontrollably and mentally cursing Arnav for making her lose control especially when he knew how she blushes at his winks.

Payal and Aman were snickering behind them as Shashi, Buaji and Garima giggled at Khushi looking red like a tomato.

And Isha rolled her eyes at what was going on but then her focus turned to Shamita and her friends and she vowed to destroy them.

Arnav held out his hand and Khushi took it and her pulled her into his chest and kissed her cheek sending the media into a frenzy as the other's who were initially shocked at the revelation turning into awes by all even those who were initially jealous of Khushi.

"Ladies and Gentlemen....... This is my lovely wife Mrs Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada....... The love of my life and the woman who stole my heart. " Khushi's eyes teared up hearing his declaration. "I know a lot of you are wondering why I never announced to all of you about my marital status and today I will tell the truth. " Arnav voice turned serious and at that moment Khushi knew he was about to reveal the truth about their relationship which sent the Guptas and Aman on edge but Arnav squeezed Khushi's hand while staring at her and Khushi was begging him not to but he lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles as his eyes told her it was all going to be okay. Khushi smiled and nodded as Arnav turned back to the media. "Our love story was filled with so many misunderstandings and miscommunications, from the time we met until I finally realized for us to work I needed to work on myself for I let the trauma of my past ruin so many things in my life and all in all this lovely woman showed me how to love, she made me into a man I never thought I would ever be and she is prove that no matter what bad things happens in your past, you have a choice to learn from it and grow into a better person....... Luckily for me, I turned my life around before it was too late and all thanks to her presence in my life....... As you all know I didn't come from a good family but I finally found one through my Khushi. " Everyone there and others watching the live telecast was amazed at how the one emotionless business tycoon was expressing himself. "The other truth is that, my wife wanted to establish herself on her own terms without her hard work being attributed to her being married to me and tonight, her and her teams designs was proof that she is among the best........ You all can judge for yourselves...... Her teams hard work was due to their talent, dedication and hard work and not because they had help so Miss Sinha do you finally understand why they won and not you. " Shamita gulped feeling humiliated and embarrassed. "Since my wife started her journey to continue her education, you and your friends spent all those months humiliating and harassing her at the university. " Shamita and her friends who were involved knew this was the end for them as Arnav wasn't holding back from trying to take the attention off Khushi and her team. "If indeed I would favor my wife, I would have had you and your friends easily rusticated from the university....... I would have prevented you and your friends from ever stepping a foot at ARD and made sure no one ever hired you but do know why I didn't do it, it's because of my wife who is too good for this world and only see the good in people no matter what they do to her and for her sake I will give you and your friends another chance but for now please leave the premises because I won't allow you and your bitterness ruin this fashion show. "

Shamita with tears in her eyes run out of there with her friends following her.

"I would like to apologize for this spectacle....... Please let's get back to business and thank you all and our fans everywhere for tuning in....... The after party is still on and everyone here is invited. " Payal announced as everyone stood up clapping and the media taking pictures.

Khushi and her teams took pictures for the media and so did the others including those remaining on Shamita's teams even though they looked ashamed but our Khushi made sure to cheer them up which was seen by all and captured by the media.

Instead of Shamita's outburst affecting the show negatively, this skyrocketed orders for all the designs and made ARD and Kundra Designs more popular as Arshi the it couple in the eyes of the media and hearts of the people.

Leela's Palace.

Ajay was watching the show with tears in his eyes seeing his daughter and his niece looking beautiful and happy as Mohan introduced them to him.

"Your chutki is now a married woman and ASR loves her so much." Ajay nodded even though he had limited control of his movement,he could perform a free gestures.

At the beginning, he was confused seeing a different woman claiming to be his wife but after she revealed secrets only they knew, he accepted it and felt happy seeing the love of his life.

Ajay wanted to ask about his princess but he could neither vocalize his thought nor write it down but her knew his wife was hiding something and she knew his thought through his eyes but she avoided his gaze.

This frustrated him until Mohan revealed everything to him after Isha left for the fashion show leaving Mohan behind.

Mohan who knew he couldn't do this alone feigned being sick to Isha and stayed behind.

"In her chase for revenge, she is blinded to the fact that Khushi is happy and Arnav is not his father and he is also a victim of the evil Maliks......... She doesn't realize not only will she destroy Khushi and Arnav but Shashi's life as well because I have seen how happy he is with Garima and this would destroy them....... I have tried to think of a way to stop her and at first I decided to expose who she was to Arnav and Khushi but I know Khushi will never forgive her and I don't want that for her....... She is my mother and I love her...... She has given me so much love in ways not even my own parents gave me...... I need you to get better soon because you are the only one who can speak some sense into her before it's too late. " Mohan cried holding Ajay's hand.

Ajay was crying for his wife, daughter and everything that may be ruined and in this, he squeezed Mohan 's hand hard and this shocked him as he burst out into tears of joy and hugged Ajay.

"God please held me get better soon...... I have to stop my Nimi before she ruins everything. " Ajay thought as Mohan broke the hug.

He eyes signalled something behind Mohan who looked confused but turned and saw the book behind him laying on the centre table.

Mohan immediately knew he wanted to write something down.

He rushed to look for a pen and brought it to Ajay and for the next fifteen minutes, Mohan waited for Ajay to finish write.

After he was done, it was a few sentence but Mohan who was able to decipher his horrible handwriting was stunned after reading the few words.

"Are you sure about this? " Mohan asked and Ajay nodded with a smile and Mohan smiled back liking his idea.

"But we have to find a way to get Isha maa out for hours before we can pull this off . "

Ajay nodded and turned their attention back to the television as Mohan checked through Isha's schedule to see if he can find a time where they can execute Ajay's idea without Isha interfering.

"Am sorry Isha maa....... I have to betray you to save you. "

RM.

Nani and Mami were smiling watching the show but the smiles vanished when they heard Anjali scoff and they turned their attention to her to find her with a scowl on her face and they knew why.

On the screen was Aman with his arms around Payal's waist as the took photos for the media at the after party.

"Hello hi bye bye...... Why are you angry when that could have been you but you chose that criminal....... I really wondered what you really saw in Shyam. " Mami uttered annoyed at her interruption and Anjali turned to her with a glare. "Glare all you want but this will be our punishment and yours...... The faster you accept this, the better for you, I have accepted the lose of my husband and the lose of my son to alcohol and thank God is his knocked out at the moment or else he would have ruined everything....... You better get to sleep because we have run out of groceries and it's your turn to get them. "

Anjali stood up angrily and limped away but halted and smirked as an evil idea popped into her mind.

"Enjoy all you want Payal but very soon, you would be dead from food poisoning and it will all be your fault for still trusting us with your food....... If Aman can't be mine, then he won't be yours either. "

Nani and Mami stared at each other confused as to why she stopped for a moment before limping away.

"This stupid girl better not do anything to ruin us and leave us homeless. " Nani exclaimed angrily and then turned to Mami. "Better keep an eye on her and I want you to go to the grocery shopping with her....... I don't trust her. "

Mami nodded and then turned her focus to the television as they both admired all the footage from the after party even though they were jealous for not being there like they use to in the past but unlike Anjali and Akash, they have accepted their fate.

ARD/KD After Party.

Everyone was enjoying themselves with most congratulating Arnav and Khushi.

Khushi's team were the most happy has they have all secure jobs at ARD which would have been impossible because of how strict getting an employment at ARD is.

Arnav was smiling watching Khushi be interviewed by one of the largest fashion magazine in the Asia and he looked like the most proudest man in the world seeing his love get all the attention and praise she deserves for her hard work.

"It's official, you new name is lover boy Arnav Singh Raizada. " Aman teased as he and Payal walked up to Arnav with him holding a glass of champagne and he handed it to Arnav who chuckled at Aman's statement.

The trio watched Khushi with a smile on their faces but it dropped when their eyes fell on Isha who was staring at Khushi smiling and it creeped them out.

Arnav was about to match up to her when Payal held him back.

"Khushi will need you, let me handle that woman once and for all. "

Aman and Arnav refuses to leave Payal and Isha alone but in the end, they reluctantly agreed after much convincing from Payal.

Payal walked up to Isha who smiled lovingly seeing  her beloved niece but that smile dropped after she saw the look of indifference on her face and she sighed knowing Payal hates her now.

"Thank God now we don't have to see your face again........ As bhai told you. "

"Who is bhai? " Isha asked cutting her off and this annoyed Payal.

"Arnav is not only my in law but my brother........ Anyways, as bhai has told you, we no longer have any obligation to you and your company....... Stay away from Khushi because now we see right through your facade........ To think you reminded me of my beloved aunt when I and Khushi use to hang out with you only for you to be a destroyer makes me sick....... Comparing you to my beloved late aunt is the biggest insult to her memory and if she had been alive, she would have torn you to pieces for trying to snatch Khushi's happiness away from her........ Please stay away from us if you truly care about Khushi like you pretended to be. "

Isha eyes teared up hearing this from Payal and apart of Payal felt sorry for her but remember how sad Khushi was that day made her shrug that feeling.

Isha sadly watched as Payal left to join Arnav and Aman who had a look of anger on their faces

"This won't go unpunished........ First it was my daughter and now my niece...... ASR, you wait and watch how I ruin you for the snatching my daughters and niece and turning them against me. " Isha thought as sipped her wine while staring at Arnav.

Three Days Later.
Laxmi Nagar.

Arshi, Aman and Payal arrived for a little lunch Shashi organized to celebrate Khushi's achievement and Payal role in the company as a shareholder.

The lunch was a success as the family eat delicious food made by Garima and Buaji and eat sweets and snacks made Shashi while cracking jokes and teasing each other.

Everyone was happy except Garima who wondered off in between conversations and fun which was noticed by all.

Garima knew the time had come even though Shashi has given her more time to confess but the guilt was eating her up especially seeing Payal and Khushi holding ok to each other not knowing they are real sisters and not cousins.

She decided she was done hiding and cleared her throat gaining everyone's attention.

"I have something to say to all of you especially Khushi and Payal. " Garima said as her eyes teared up while ignoring the glares from Shashi. "I..... "

The ringing of the door bell cut Garima off as they all turned.

The door kept on ringing continuously and Aman walked up to the door and opened it while the others wondered who it was.

"What the hell are you doing here? "

They all heard the angry voice of Aman and moved to the door.

Payal and Arshi she shocked seeing Mohan standing at the door smiling at them.

Arnav was about to give yell at him when he moved aside revealing Ajay in a wheelchair leaving the Guptas and Arnav in shock seeing the man in the wheelchair.

"Papa? "

To be continued.
