Khushi was in her room when she heard her father's car pull up.

"Arnav beta, how are you? Does it hurt badly?" Garima asked opening the door.

"No aunty, just a slight pain, I have the medicines."

"Go get freshened up beta, I will set up dinner by then." She was about to leave, but then turned to ask him, "Or would you like to have food at your home?"

"No problem aunty, I will join you all here. Not an issue."

"Okay beta, take care."

"Where is Khushi?" he asked as she hadn't come to greet him. That was odd. However busy she was, she usually had time for him. He remembered.

"She is probably in her room. She should be here. I will call her...." Before Garima could complete the sentence, she saw Arnav was climbing the stairs, moving towards Khushi's room.

"Khushi..."

"Hi." He had scared her when he abruptly showed up.

"Why are you avoiding me?" he asked, not bothering to greet her back.

While Shashi went to pick Arnav up, Khushi was actually busy hiding their wedding pictures in spots he wouldn't notice. She couldn't tell him that, could she?

"And Khushi, why did you disappear from the hospital?" He almost shouted. He was obviously angry.

"I did not disappear Arnav. I told you before I left. Also, don't use your ASR tone with me. You know it won't work." Arnav nodded in response and she continued patiently, "Arnav I had important work to do here." She said, unable to come up with a better excuse.

"More important than me?"

"Why not bhai? Uncle and aunty are busy looking for a proposal for her and today one guy had come to meet her even" Anjali and Rahul had joined them in Khushi's room. Khushi was grateful for Anjali's timely response, but her point had Khushi shocked.

"What?"

Even though Khushi was shocked at Anjali's reasoning, she decided to play along when Anjali winked at her. Rahul was suppressing a smile.

"Yeah Arnav and before you start protesting, I remember you had told me that you will be the one selecting a guy for me. But, to be honest, I think that has to be my decision. And so  will it be." Khushi informed him.

Arnav was too shocked to respond and he just walked off from there. He was hurt and Khushi knew that. She wanted to run behind him. But then she had also convinced herself that he needed to do something to indicate to her that he was interested. It was not going to be her always, the one taking the first step. That decision of hers was final and no one could change her mind on that. 

"I'll go give him his medicines along with his dinner so that he will sleep soon and we can get some planning done." Anjali said.

Arnav did finally decide to have dinner in his room. Shashi and Garima felt bad, but Rahul convinced them this was for a better and happier future.

Anjali made sure that Arnav had taken the pills prescribed by the doctor and was fast asleep before she locked the doors and went to Gupta house.

"Hey guys, I am back." she announced as she went up to the living room where Khushi, Rahul, Shashi and Garima were waiting for her.

"And my husband?" Khushi enquired, obviously she was concerned.

"Oh my dear Bhabhi, the love of your life, the great Arnav Singh Raizada is fast asleep after taking those pills." Khushi rolled her eyes at Anjali's dramatic response.

"Okay good. We should then get to the point." Rahul said interrupting the best friends.

"Yeah Rahul, I remember you had told me that you have some plan in mind"

"That is what I'm talking about. Uncle and Aunty I need your permission and help."

"What permission beta?" Shashi asked.

"Uncle, Aunty, I love Anjali. I have liked her for years now. I know for a fact that my parents wanted Khushi as their daughter in law, but I knew all along that wouldn't happen. I know even you both that known that for some time now. Now that Anjali loves me back, I need your permission so that I can marry her. I know the kind of respect she holds for the two of you. You both are the closest she has to parents and I am sure you consider her as your own daughter as well. So, this is me asking your permission to marry her."

"Anjali beta, is this true?" Anjali was shocked at Rahul's words, but she absent minded-ly nodded when Garima asked her that question, still marveled at her boyfriend for how straight forward and to the point he was.

"You both have our blessings then, isn't that right Garima-ji?" Shashi turned to his wife and she nodded in agreement with a smile on her face. Rahul was right, they had treated the Raizada kids as their own, even more after they lost their parents. Shashi couldn't be happier. He really liked Rahul and his family. They would make an excellent family for Anjali.

"Thank you. Now I need your help with telling this to my parents, and convincing them to have this wedding here in a week."

"A week? Beta, that is not enough time. We had so many hopes for our kids' wedding. Khushi and Arnav's wedding was so rushed, I was hoping I could make up for all that at Anjali's wedding. I am not rushing off my other daughter's wedding as well." Garima said. Anjali had tears in her eyes. She knew Garima and Shashi loved her and Arnav like their own. But this much love for them, she hadn't fathomed. Anjali ran and hugged Garima tight. Shashi kept a hand on her head to show his love. Khushi stood there, smiling at the scene in front of her.

Rahul and Khushi promised they would make all the arrangements and do all the invitations and get everything ready in time. They had nothing to worry about. It took a lot of convincing, but finally, Garima agreed, reluctantly.

"You might have to convince Arnav at some point. We don't know exactly when that would happen if everything goes according to plan." Rahul continued with his ideas.

"Of course beta, anything for Khushi." Shashi responded. 

"Okay, as Anji has put the idea in Arnav's head, we will make him believe that Khushi is getting married."

"What? But to whom?"

"Pay attention Anji, we will make him believe that she is getting married to me."

"What? You?"

"Don't worry Anji I won't marry him, I'm your Bhabhi after all." Khushi teased.

"Not that Khushi, I was thinking about the after effect of that."

"Anji, Khushi, ladies please let me finish." Rahul said demanding their attention.

"Okay, continue." they said together, turning back to face him.

"We will make him believe that Khushi and I are getting married, but actually I will be getting married to Anji"

"Yeah. We will hold all the rituals such as Kuldevi's pooja, Sangeet, Mehndi and Haldi in front of him. I mean all the functions except sagai, because in that we can't fool him easily. I'm damn sure he will try to stop the marriage and won't allow the pheras and will confess his love to Khushi. He will say that if he loves you truly." Rahul explained.

"And what if he doesn't object to the wedding?"

"Then I will get married to Anji without his permission." Rahul calmly said.

"And even if he opposes Rahul's marriage to me, confesses his love and then what if he objects your marriage?" Khushi asked.

"Don't worry about that Khushi, Arnav doesn't object my decision. I'll tell him that it was my decision to get Anjali married to Rahul. I believe that was your plan Rahul?" Shashi asked.

"Thank you so much uncle, now I think you should get my parents here. After all they would love to attend their only son's marriage." they all shared a laugh.

"Hey what about your engagement?" Khushi asked.

"We will have that day after tomorrow when Arnav goes to the office"

"Oh shit" she screamed.

"What happened Khushi?" Anjali was by her best friend's side.

"I forgot to inform Aman"

"Oh right. Go call him."

Khushi moved away from the others to speak on the phone.

"Hello" Aman said from the other end.

"Hey, its Khushi. Sorry to disturb you this late Aman,"

"Yeah Khushi tell me"

"Actually there is bad news for you employees"

"What?"

"Arnav is now back to normal"

"Khushi, that is great news"

"For some of you"

"You are right about that."

"But the actual bad news is that he doesn't remember the things which happened after the accident"

"Does that mean...?"

"Yeah he doesn't remember anything about our marriage"

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"I don't want any of you to mention about that to him, doctor has advised that it will be better if we don't put too much pressure on him. They say the memories will eventually come to him and to go about things like normal."

"Ok Khushi, I'll inform others too. Will make sure to not let anything slip."

"Thanks Aman, and yeah, good luck sicne your boss will be back tomorrow." 

Aman laughed before saying, "Ok Khushi see you."

"Bye"

"So that problem is solved"

"Great . Next is to inform Arnav about the marriage" Rahul said.

"I'll do that after your parents arrive, wont that be okay?" Shashi asked.

"Yeah uncle that would be great"

"So, meeting dispersed."

"Ok Anji come with me" Khushi dragged her to her room"

"What happened Khushi? you seem too excited"

"Yeah you are right. You know something today while I was taking my things out, I got Arnav's personal journal and inside that I got my photo. See..."

Khushi had in her hands Arnav's black diary and also Khushi's photo which he had cut out from one in which Khushi was with her parents. Khushi looked too pretty in that photo.

Anjali didn't know how to respond to that.

"Does that mean Arnav loves me too? Do you think that it is possible that he had feelings for me, even before Lavanya came into the picture?"

"I don't know that Bhabhi. BTW did you read it?"

"No, I thought we could do that together." Khushi said with a lot of excitement in her voice.

"Give it to me" Anjali said. She didn't want Khushi to read that and then know how much Arnav loved her. She was sure Arnav would have mentioned that in his journal.

Khushi didn't know what was going on in Anjali's head so she gave the book to her.

"Khushi I'm sorry but it is wrong to read someone else's personal diary, be it your husband or your brother, I can't give it to you. I'm sorry." Anjali said and escaped from there while Khushi stood there gaping at her retreating form.

Anjali had done this only because she wanted Arnav to confess his love to Khushi rather she knowing it from someone else.

Rahul's parents were happy when they heard Rahul had decided to get married. They left everything and took the first flight out to reach in time for the Sagai. Well, Rahul was on a tight  timeline and his parents felt Rahul wouldn't reschedule even for his parents. After all, he was on a mission.

Arnav was in his office during the time of the engagement and Khushi had appointed Aman to keep an eye on Arnav and he had agreed to that.

The ring ceremony was over very soon with Rahul and Anjali exchanging rings and Khushi clicking some photos. The couple took blessings from the elders and all were ready to face Arnav.

Arnav was early from office that day. Anjali was not to be seen and HP informed him that she was at Khushi's place.

"Hey what is going on?" Arnav asked as he saw Anjali and Khushi in the living room.

"Arnav you are here so early?" Khushi asked. She nervously looked around to see if there was anything that could foil their play.

"Yeah, I finished work early. Tell me one thing, why is the house decorated?"

"I'll tell you," Rahul said coming from behind.

"You?" Arnav was not ready to interact with Rahul. That man was getting on his nerves.

"Yeah. This was for my engagement"

"What? With whom?"

Rahul saw Anjali and Khushi standing together so this made things easy for him. He just looked at them and Khushi smiled. And there, Arnav had a misunderstanding. He thought it was Khushi who was engaged to Rahul and yeah that is what they all wanted. And all the pieces fell together in Rahul's plan.

"What? Khushi why didn't you tell me?"

"Bhai, relax, I'll explain."

"No Anji, let her explain."

"Ok Arnav, actually I was about to call you but Aman told me that you were in some important meeting and asked to not be disturbed. Rahul's parents wanted this to happen today itself so I didn't have any other choice"

"And bhai we have the Mehndi and Sangeet scheduled tomorrow. The Haldi and wedding will take place the day after that"

"WHAAAAAAT???????"

"I'm sorry Arnav I.."

But Arnav was gone from there before she could complete.

And the three of them present in the room shared a laugh.

The next morning Khushi was at her house, well sasural, albeit her husband did not remember that.

"Arnav, Anji come with me, we have lots of work to do. Arnav you are not going to office today. I've told Aman he will manage everything"

"But Khushi I can't...." Arnav tried to protest but he was unable to win against the duo. The three of them went to the Gupta house to help out with the preparations. Garima was complaining the entire time about how she did not get enough time to do this. Arnav agreed with Garima. This was too short-notice for his liking. 

"First we will have Mehndi and the men can stay at Raizada mansion, we will let you know the time for Sangeet." Garima said and the others agreed

"Amma the bride can dance in sangeet right?"

"No Khushi, you know that. Beta, have some manners."

"But why aunty, I want to dance with Khushi." Anjali complained.

"Garima ji if she wants to dance let her, I want my daughter in law to be happy." Rahul's mother said.

"See aunty even she doesn't have any problem, please"

"Okay, if you have the support of everyone else, who am I to say no then." Garima gave up.

Arnav was least interested in all this crap. He was getting irritated at the fact that his Khushi was getting married to someone else. In front of him? How can this be? Afterall Khushi was his. But he never wanted to confess to her even after Anjali had asked him to. If he had did that that day, today Khushi would have been getting married to him instead of Rahul. He left from there.

"Bahut shaitan ho tumlog. Becharaa Arnav" Garima commented looking at Arnav's retreating form, while the others stood there and laughed.
