„Listen, i really don't have time for jokes now. Khushi, we're leaving." said arnav and held her wrist.

„Arnav ji.." said khushi who wanted to calm him down but he didn't want to listen. He just started walking to their car not even listeking to what khushi was saying.

„Arnav ji please..let them tell us the truth. Arnav ji please!"

„Khushi they're just lying." said arnav.

„NO!" said khushi and freed herself. Arnav looked at her with angry eyes.

„I want to hear what they want to say, maybe.."

„Yeah right khushi! After somany years your parents come back? Are you serious?" asked arnav pissed off.

„I don't care what you say." said khushi and turned her back to him and started walking back where rajeev and divya were standing.

Arnav just looked at them. Khushi looked at him and he saw that she needed him. He sighed and walked to them.

„Can we tslk in a cafe?" asked arnav.

„No!" said divya.

„Kyun?" asked khushi.

„Kyunki..we..we're not allowed to be here." said rajeev.

„Huh? Kyun?" asked khushi.

„It's a long story..but khushi..bitiya. You have to believe us. We are your parents." said divya touching her cheek.

Khushi didn't know what to say or do. Divya gave her a warm smile and hugged her tight. Khushi first didn't hug her back. But then she decided to do it. Arnav just looked at them and decided to get in the car befare he starts crying infront if them.

Khushi and divya broke the hug. Divya's eyes were shining. She kissed khushi's forehead and cupped her face.

„Bitiya, i am your mother. How could i forget your eyes? How could i forget the anklets? They were mine."

Khushi had tears in her eyes looking at the anklets. Rajeev looked for arnav and saw that he was in his car waiting for them. He headed to the car and opened the door. He sat in and saw that warnsv wasn't feeling well.

„Ky hua?" asked rajeev.

„Huh?" asked arnav who's mind was still with khushi.

„You're not looking well."

„Oh, no..i-i'm ok." said arnav and started to play with the keys.

„Bitwa..i don't know you yet. But you look really nervous. What's the matter?"

Arnav sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

„I don't know." he said.

„I mean..we never had a picture of you. Khushi and i got so close..because we both didn't have parents. And now..taht you both are here, i'm really happy for khushi..but i still can't believe it. I mean..what about the accident khushi told us?"

„The accident..it's true it really happened. But we didn't die as you see."

„Then what happened?!" asked arnav.

„Bitwa i don't think that it is the right time to tell you." said rajeev.

„If not kow then when? I think now is even too late." said arnav and got out if the car leaving rajeev bahind. Arnav closed the door really loud and mae divys and khushi look at him.

„Khushi are you comming or do you want to spend the night here?" asked arnav.

„I'm comming.." said khushi.

Rajeev got out of the car and wanted to talk to arnav but arnav just ignored him. Divya hugged khushi for the last time.

„But i'm angry with you!" said divya.

„Kyun?" asked khushi and broke the hug.

„They say..a kid always remembers it's mothers smell. But you don't.."

„Don't say that..i-" started khushi but arnav interrupted.

„That's because you came back too late."

Divya just looked at arnav. He really meant what he said.

„Now excuse us. We have 3 children at home waiting for their mother and i will not let them wait for like 20 years." said arnav and pulled khushi to their car.

They both got in the car and drove away.

„Arnav ji what did you do?! How should they arrive at their hotel?"

„I don't care."

„Why are you acting like this arnav ji? They are really nice."

„Khushi not every person you meet is nice." said arnav facing the road.

„Kyun? Why are you thinking that they're not good people?!" asked khushi angry.

„BECAUSE THEY LEFT YOU ALONE FOR OVER 15 YEARS!" said arnav who stopped the car and scared khushi to hell.

„They made you feel alone and without any parent love. Khushi you grew up with your aunt! But you're mother was still alive wasn't she? I don't want to say something against aunty or bua ji. But if they really are your parents, then i will not forgive them taht easily.."

Khushi had tears in her eyes. She wanted to hold his hand but arnav just pulled it away.

„Arnav ji..but they're here now.."

„Yes but that's too late khushi! Khushi i really lost my parents. I know i will never ever see them again, but if they would come back justlike your parents did..i would not forgive them that easy. Khushi just think about how old ayaan is now..he's 13 now. Just as the same age i lost my mother..and today you were so close to.."

„Arnav ji please.."

Arnav just looked at her. She started crying and looked out of the window.

„I'm not going to fogive you either for that mistake you did today."

Khushi just looked at him shocked.

„Arnav ji, all i did was for you."

„Oh really? When did i ask you to commid suicide?!"

Khushi looked away.

„Now don't tell me you did that for me."said arnav and started the car again.

After a while they came back to shantivaan. Arnav opened the door and the whole family was waiting for him. Arnav entered the living room and right behind him was khushi.

„Mom!" said ayaan excited and hugged her tight.

„Mummy!" said muskaan and jumped into her arms.

The rest of the family gave her angry faces. Khusji saw their faces and felt miserable.

„Arnav bitwa, you should meet nani. She's not feeling well since this morning." said mami.

„Kyun?" asked arnav worried.

„What happened to nani ?" asked khushi worried.

Mami just gave her a „i didn't talk to you" face. Arnav knew khushi would feel sad when the family members give her those faces or talk to her like she's nobody to them.

„Bhai..she's not feeling good at all. The doctor was just here and told us not to stress her that much. Otherwise.."

Arnav knew what he wanted to say. He didn't want his nani to leave him like his mother did. Not now. He ran to her room and opened the door.

„Nani!"

There she was laying in her bed and payal was giving her medicine. Arnav stepped closer to her and held her hand. Payal knew that he wanted to be alone with her, she put the medicine abck on the table and left the room without closing the door. She saw khushi standing there and giving her a warm smile.

„Jiji.." she wanted to hug her but payal just ignored her and walked away.

Khushi's smile flew away, she knew it wouldn't be easy to get the forgiveness of the raizadas. She looked into the room and saw her husband holding nani's hand. Nani was looking tired. Of course she was really old now, but still they aren't ready to say goodbye to their dear nani.

„Chotte.." she said slowly.

Arnav looked at her crying.

„Nani please don't leave me. You know how much i need you in my life. Please nani.." said arnav and pulled her hand close to his heart kissing it.

Khushi started crying seeing the scene infront of her. She wanted to be with him in that moment, but she didn't know if she was allowed.

„Chotte..listen to me.." said nani slowly and running her hand through his hair.

„Did..you find khushi bitiya?"

Khushi was shocked to her that. She thought that nani was angry at her just like the others were.

Arnav nodded a yes.

Khushi closed her mouth and turned around so that her back was against the wall. She didn't want them to hear her cry. She felt so sorry for their nani, she didn't want her to leave them.

„Is she here?" asked nani.

Arnav nodded again a yes.

„Please..go and get her. I want to talk to both of you." said nani.

Arnav just nodded again and stood up. He was whipping away the tears on his cheeks leaving the room when he bumped into his wife. He looked at her and saw her red eyes from crying.

„Nani..wants to talk with us.." said arnav without looking at her.

Khushi just nodded and followed him. They both entered the room. Nani gave khushi a warm smile.

„Khushi bitiya.." said nani and lifted her arm telling her to come closer.

Khushi immediately walked to her and held her hand.

„Nani.." said khushi and held her hand tight.

„I'm so sorry nani. I'm sorry for leaving the house just like that as the elder bahu of this house. I'm sorry.." said khushi crying.

Arnav was just standing there watching them. His heart pained seeing his wife crying like that.

„Bitiya.." said nani and khushi looked at her.

„I know..everything you do is because you want the best for your family. Haina?"

Khushi nodded and whipped away her tears. Nani smiled a little and looked at arnav.

„Chotte idhar ah." said nani and arnav sat next to khushi.

„Ji nani?" asked arnav.

„Chotte..i want you both to promise me something.."

„Nahi nani." said arnav.

Khushi just looked at him questioned.

„Lekin chotte.."

„Nani i won't promise anything to you because if i do then i know you will leve me. Just like maa did." said arnav who started crying again.

Nani felt bad for him and cried too.

„Nani please, don't cry. You shouldn't stress yourself more." said khushi.

„Khushi bitiya..my chotte really thinks that i'm leaving you. Are you thinking the same?"

„Nahi nani." said khushi with tears in her eyes.

„I know that you will live longer. You are such a good person nani, god can't take you away that easily from us. We should show him how strong our bonding is." said khushi whipped away the tears on nani's face.

Arnav, who was toughed by her words looked at khushi. Nani smiled at her.

„Khushi bitiya..right on the first day..i like you very much. The way you know so much about our culture and religion. The wey you talk to humans and respect elders.."

„Nani.." khushi started but was cutten off by nani.

„Promise me to take good care of everyone in this family bitiya. Actually manorama is the eldest bahu of this house..but you know how she is."

Both arnav and khushi chuckled at her joke. Nani was happy that she made them smile again and continued.

„Take good care of my chotte, as you know he needs a lot of love. Ayaan, muskaan and arun..you should tell them every night before they go to sleep something about me."

„Nani please!" said arnav getting angry and sad, but he didn't want to show it.

He stood up nd left the room. Khushi looked at him as he left the room and turned her face again to look at nani.

„I think you should talk to him bitiya.."

„But what about you nani, i can't leave you back alone here.."

Nani gave her a warm smile.

„I'm here."

Khushi looked at the door and saw payal standing there. She stood up and left the room giving nani one last kiss on her forehead.

ARSHI ROOM

Khushi entered the room and saw arnav standing by the pool side. He looked into the sky. It was full with shining stars and the big moon. Khushi stood beside him and looked at him.

„You remember the day you told me about how your parents became stars?" said arnav without looking at her face.

„Haan.." said khushi still looking at him.

„And now they're alive. They never died."

Khushi was a little scared by his sudden fact.

„It's funny isn't it? You lost your parents but then..suprise! They're alive!" said arnav looking at her.

„Arnav ji.."

„But i? I lostmy parents! Forever. And now god wants to take away my nani also! Why khushi? Why is your devi maiyya doing this to me?" asked arnav getting angry.

„Arnav ji..i."

„WHY DAMNIT?!" asked arnav and threw a glass of whater that was there on the floor. Khushi jerked in horror seeing him in that state. Arnav sat on the chair and hid his face in his palms. Khushi felt bad for her husband. Looking at him like that she too was feeling a big pain in her heart. She got on her knees and cupped his face.

„Arnav ji..please look at me."

But he didn't.

„Arnav ji.." khushi took his hands away and finally she could see his face. But in the next moment arnav just hugged her tight and started crying. Khushi never saw him crying like that. She just hugged him back and tried to calm him down.

„Khushi i don't want to loose her now. I'm not ready yet. Khushi you know how much we need her. She was like a mother to me khushi plesse do something, i don't want to loose my mother again..please khushi."

Khushi started crying too and tighted her hug on him.

„Arnav ji, nothing wil happen to her. She's strong, we just have to take care of her and think positive."

Slowly arnav broke the hug and cupped her face. Khushi whipped away his tears and leaned her forehead on his.

„Arnav ji i'm sorry..i know..all this is happening because of me. If i would."

„Shh!"

Khushi looked at him.

„It's not your fault. Khushi, you're not the biggest mistake of my life..you're the best that ever happened to me. Just like an angel you came into my life and filled my life with colours and happiness."

Khushi smiled a little.

„Don't you ever dare call youself the biggest mistake of my life..only i have the right to say that."

Khushi looked at him shocked and in the next moment arnav started smiling at her and that smiled turned to a laugh. Khushi smiled too and punched him on his chest. Arnav again hugged her and closed his eyes. It felt so good to have her back, but he couldn't stop thinking about nani...
