"If i marry the girl you choose, do you stop with all those stupid questions ?" Arnav had a serious face.

"What? Really?" Anjali smiled a little.

"Di i'm only doing it for you and the family, so that this khushi is forever gone!" Said arnav.

Anjali's smile went from happy to sad.

Arnav gave his sister a provocative smile, "understood?"

Anjali just nodded as yes.

Khushi came back from work. Today wasn't a good day. She didn't sell anything. The people doesn't want to buy sweets because there are no festivals or marriages.

Khushi lived in her bhua ji's house with garima, her mother and shashi, her father.

Khushi entered her home only to see bhua ji playing with little ayaan. He was laughing really cute beacuse bhua ji was hiding behind a pillow and came out doing some funny sounds.

"Are khushi you're back?" Asked Garima.

"Haan maa. Today wasn't my day. We didn't sell anything and i think that i have to close the shop." Said khushi while picking up her son from the floor.

"Did he bevahe bhua ji?" Asked khushi with a smile on her lips looking proudly at her son.

"Hayre nande kishore! Sankadevi! He's getting angry really fast! Trust me! Whenever i say no or get his toys away he starts hitting me and screams." Said bhuaji.

Khushi laughed a little.

"That's how he is bhua ji. Am i right baby?"

She gave him a kiss on his chubby cheeks.

"I'm going to get a shower and then i'll go to bed with ayaan ok?" Said khushi while she layed ayaan in her mothers arms.

Both of them nodded and khushi took her shower.

She thought about her job. If there's nothing going to happen, she has to close the shop. She's not winning money with it. At first it went on well, but now noone is comming in her shop to buy the sweets of lucknow.

Bhuaji again started to play with little ayaan and garima washed the dishes. Suddenly the phone rang.

"Can you answer the phone?" yelled garima from the kitchen.

"I'm playing with the baby! Go and answer it by yourfelf!" Yelled bhua ji back and tickled ayaan to hear his cute laugh.

Garima washed her hands and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Yes hello, am i speaking to khushi gupta?"

Asked a strangers voice on the other line.

"No, i'm her mother. What is the problem?"

Said garima silently.

"Oh no - there's no problem! We're having a wedding in our house and the grandmother of the house wants sweets from lucknow. And you daughter's shop was the first thing that got into my mind. So can i talk to her please?" Asked the man politely.

"I'm afraid - she's not here right now. Would you like to leave a message ?"

"Oh.. - well actually i should know it right now if she's doing the job or not. Because you know..the wedding preperations and stuff."

"Acha.." said garima. She thought for a second and then said: "ok..khushi is doing the job."

"Sure?"

"Haan. I'll tell her and she will do it."

"Ok, thank you very much mrs. Gupta. So actually the family wants to meet her tomorrow morning. If thats okay i mean - we just want to see with who we're working you know.."

"No problem, i understand that. Just tell me when and she'll come."

"Ok. So tomorrow morning at 09:00 pm. I'll give you the adress." He gave her the adress and they both hung up.

"Kya hua?" Asked bhua ji.

"Khushi has a job now! Someone is having a wedding and they want sweets from lucknow! Thanky you god!" Said garima with happy tears in her eyes.

Khushi came out of the shower with a t-shirt, some joggers and wet hair.

"What happened maa? Why are you so happy?"

"You have a job! Someone called while you were showering and i said yes to the job. I hope it is ok for you bitiya..you also know in what position we are..and think about your son."

Said garima with a lower voice.

Khushi just smiled at her and said.
"It's ok maa. Thank you. What is it about?" Asked khushi and garima told her everything.

"Good so where is the place?"

"Oh wait he gave me the adress!...here."

Khushi saw the adress and an alarm was ringing in her head. She knew where that was. It's arnav singh raizadas house. Is he getting married?..or NK? Khushi had thousands of questions in her head. But the acted normal.

She took ayaan to bed and he slept in very fast, but khushi on the other side was awake. She couldn't sleep the whole night..but why? Even if he would get married, he's her ex husband. Why would she care?

In the morning khushi got ready for her meeting with the raizadas..after 1 year. She promised di to visit them but she never did. And now destiny brings them again together.
Khushi weared a yellow saree and let her hair open. Even tho she never ever wanted to see the raizadas again, she wanted to look good.
Before she got out of her room she turned back and kissed her son on his forehead.
"I'm sorry that i'm not taking you with me, but it's for your best." She left her room and went to the living room.

"Maa, bhua ji, paa i'm gone. Take care of ayaan, he's still sleeping. He didn't drink that much in the night so he's going to be thirsty in the morning i think. So give him the milk and then if he wants more some biscuits ok?"

Said khushi nervously as if it would be the first time for her family to look after ayaan.

"But khushi we know that!"
Said bhua ji with a smile.

Khushi smiled back and was gone.

""SHANTIVAAN""
Arnav was still sleeping peacfully in his room. When suddelny the sun woke him up. He opened his eyes and saw di who was opening the curtains.

"Wake up chotte! We're meeting the candy girl." Said anjali happily.

"The what?" Said arnav sleepy rubbing his eyes.

"Chotte!" She sat beside him.

"The girl who's going to do the sweets from lucknow."

"Why should i meet her?"

"Because it's your wedding stupid! I think it's important to know who is preparing all the sweets. Right?" Said anjali.

"Yeah but i'm diabetic, so i don't care for the sweets." Arnav layed back down and closed his eyes.

"CHOTTE! WAKE UP!" Anjali shaked him till she won their fight and they both headed downstairs.

"Is she here?" Asked anjali.

"No but she's going to be here in any second." Said nani with a smile.

"Perfect." Said anjali and then turned her fsce to arnav.

"Chotte. Be nice."

Arnav smiled and nodded.

There she's standing. Right infront of the raizadas door. Should she knok or ring at the bell? Perfect. She's not even inside and behaves like a kid.

"Come on khushi. It's an easy job. Think about Ayaan. Ok.." she opened her eyes and rang on the bell.

The raizadas heard the bell and hariprakash wanted to open the door.

"Wait! I'll go." Said arnav.

"Nahi chotte! So not worry her at the first moment." Said anjali with a smile.

Arnav raised an eyebrow

"Whatever."

"Should i go sir?" Asked HP.

"Haan."

HP opened the door and saw khushi. He hasn't seen her for a long time and now she's back.

"Khushi bhabi?"

Khushi smiled at him and fold her hands.

"Namastey HP ji."

"Aye na!" She welcomed her.

Khushi stepped in and it felt as someone would take her breath away. She walked really slow till she reached to the living room where everybody was waiting for her.

"She's here." Said HP and everybody looked at khushi. Espacially arnav.

He never thought that he would see her again. And now she stands right infront of him.
He was really angry to see her but also..calm down. Because he knows that she's okay. He starred at her. Then he slowly started moving his eyes from her head to her feet. She changed a little. She wasn't wearing the clothes like before. She's wearing a saree..a beautiful yellow saree.

"Namastey." Said khushi with her folded hands but looked down.

"Khushi ji.? Ab.."
Di was also shocked to see her, but also very happy. She missed her alot.

Anjali gave her a tight hug and started crying. When she broke the hug she spoke to khushi.

"Where were you khushi ji? We all missed you a lot! You promised me to visit us one day! But you never came. I was so afraid..i thought something happened to you."

Khushi's tears started to flow down her cheeks, just like the day arnav and she broke up.

"I'm sorry Di." said khushi heartbroken, again.

Arnav was shocked. Why is she still calling her Di. She's his ex wife dammit. And why is she even here?

"What are you doing here?" Asked ASR.

Khushi didn't even look at him and that made arnav angrier.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT DAMMIT!" Yelled arnav and came closer to khushi.

"CHOTTE! What are you doing?

"Di she's just acting..i know this woman."

Khushi was still looking down.

"I'm here for the job. Someone called me yesterday evening to make the candys for a wedding which is happening in this house."

Finally khushi looked at arnav.

"I'm not here for you!"

Arnav just looked at her. She changed not slittle but a lot! How can you give him this answer? Who is she to talk like that with ASR?

"You better.." started arnav again.

"Khushi ji! Please aye na." Anjali told her to sit down on the sofa. They all set down.

"Khushi bitiya..are you okay?" Asked nani with a smile.

Khushi smiled back.

"yes nani, thank you. And you?"

Nani smiled back.

"Me too bitiya."

"Hello hi bye bye..phattisaree..where's your child?" Asked mami.

Everyone gave her a 'stop it!' Look.

"What? 1 year ago she was pregnant..so now where's is the child? Tell us."

"Voh..he's at home with maa, appa and bhua ji. His name is Ayaan."

Arnav was about to take a sip of his coffee but stopped when he heard that he had a son..ayaan. He was a father who never has seen his son before.

"Are vah..that's a beautiful name bitiya."

Khushi smiled and looked at arnav to see his reaction. Then she moved on.

"He was born on the 12th June. I had to make an emperor's cut because he would have died otherwise."

Everyone nodded and smiled to hear something about the new generation of the raizadas.

"He's an angry kid. He gets angry really fast for everything. When bhua ji bathes him he always splashes with his little hands on the water."

Everyone laughed and enjoyed hearing something about they're little prince.

"But khushi ji..do you have a picture?" Asked anjali.

"Di.." said arnav

He wanted her stop. Because he knew that she would start crying when she sees him.

"No Di..i'm sorry. But if you want i'll bring him one day."

"Haan haan! Bilkul! You have to!" Said nani with a big smile on her face.

"So khushi ji..i know it's a little weird for you..to work for the family of your ex husband. So if you don't want to.."

"Nahi Di! It's ok..really. I need it."

"Oh really you need the money for what?" Said arnav who put his newspaper away.

Khushi looked at him and just said.

"For my son and my family mr. Raizada."

Arnav raised his eyebrow.

"There's an other job which would be perfect for you."

Said arnav with an arrogant face.

"Oh really? What job?" Asked khushi as if she wouldn't know.

Arnav just looked at her.

"if you do not know how to deal with words then leave them in your mouth..did you get that?" Said khushi strong.

The whole family was silent on seeing khushi in that action. She really changed. But in a good way also.

"Phateesaree you know who's getting married?" Asked mami

"Manorama!" said nani angry.

"Nahi nani it's ok. I know who's getting married. And if you want to know that i have a problem with it then no. It's ok. I'm just doing my job and then everyone is happy."

Arnav was shocked on her answer..how could she.

"So all good..?" Asked Di again.

"Yes." Smiled khushi.

"Who's the bride?" Asked khushi.

"Voh.." started anjali.

"Her name is chandini. She works in AR Designs and is a very intelligent girl." Said arnav fast.

Khushi just looked at him and said

"Congratulations.."

Arnav just gave her an arrogant smile.

"Eh khushi ji..chalo. Let's discuss some sweets." Said anjali and went with khushi to thr kitchen.
