Little Avish was munching jalebis, happily settled on his father's lap, while his father was chatting with some guests, that he is meeting for the first time.

Avish took one jalebi and placed it near his father's lip with a glint of mischievousness on his face. Arnav took a bite, and stroke his little son's hair lovingly.

Avish giggled getting attention from his father, after all he was too engrossed in the conversation with the guests.

"So how's life Sheetal?" Arnav asked with a polite smile on his lips.

"Well.. What can I say ASR, it's not going good at all.. I lost my job recently and being a single mother isn't easy at all.. I'm just so messes up right now.. Don't know how will I manage to pay Aarav's school fees now.." Sheetal let out a sigh with a disturbed frown taking place on her forehead.

"Didn't you try to find another job?" Arnav asked, feeling pity for her. He knows how difficult it is for a single mother to work and take care of her child nowadays.

"I did but you know how difficult it is to get job nowadays.." she faked a smile.

"Oh.. Then come to AR tomorrow and I will see what I can do for you.." Arnav nodded.

"Thank you ASR.." she smiled, "Is he your son?"

"Yes, my baby boy!" Arnav ruffled Avish's hair smiling.

Aarav glanced at his mother with teary eyes, and clutched her hand tightly. Sheetal blinked his eyes as if consoling the little boy who had his heart broken by the scene.

Avish smiled at the lady and her son. Then got down his father's lap and extended his hand to steal one more jalebi from the plate while his father was talking about him to the guests.

"Avi.." Arnav glanced at him, showing his son that he was watching over him.

"Bauji just one mole (more)" Avish gave him a sheepish smile after being caught stealing the third jalebi from the plate.

Arnav widened his eyes after being called 'Bauji' by his son, he only calls Arnav as Bauji when he wants to tease just like his mother calls him Laad governor. Avish giggled seeing his father shocked face.

"What the.." Aarav muttered glaring at Avish.

"Bad boy.." Avish frowned at Aarav, "If Amma listen to this, she will scold you a lot like she scolds Papa!"

Aarav glared at the little boy, and expected Arnav to be at his side since it's his line and he wants to impress his father. Sheetal smiled at him, ruffling his hair, "He's so much like you ASR.."

"Sheetal he is just a kid to use swear words now. You should keep a watch on him, it's not bad to want to be like me but still pay attention to these things.. I say that because I'm grown up, but as a little kid I never used these words.." Arnav said in warning tone, if Aarav was his own kid, he would have scolded him badly but since he has no rights over him, he can only advise Sheetal.

Aarav got sad seeing Arnav's stern look which clearly indicated that he was angry with him and Sheetal forced a smile and nodded her head, "Sure.. I do keep a watch on him but he's so stubborn.. He loves you a lot!"

"I also love my Papa a lot.." Avish said and climbed back to Arnav's lap, snuggling to his father's chest.

That was a proud moment for Arnav, he smiled and wrapped his arms around his baby boy, and pecked his forehead unable to contain himself from his excitement and happy feeling that he was having right now, by his son love confession to him.

Aarav clutched his fist angrily and looked away.

The ladies came inside the mansion giggling and chatting on the way, holding their shopping bags.

"Ammaaaa.." Avish squealed and getting down from his father's lap, he ran to his mother and hugged her legs.

Khushi left her bags with Payal who smiled at Avish, she picked Avish in her arms and pecked his cheek, "My baby.. Missed Amma?"

"A lot!" he said and wrapped his tiny arms around Khushi's neck, pecking her cheek back.

"Wasn't Papa with you? Didn't he play with Avi?" Khushi asked walking with him in her arms, to the living room.

"No.. Papa is with guests!" Avi pouted.

"Aww.. Your Papa is a bad boy.. Amma will scold him now for not playing with you!" Khushi frowned talking in baby voice with Avi.

"No, don't scold Papa.. He is good boy only.. Papa buy jalebis fol (for) me" Avish smiled.

Khushi smiled at him, and her eyes landed at her husband talking with a woman and a little boy. Luckily the woman was settled on another couch and he would be spared from her scoldings today.

Arnav looked at Khushi and smirked reading her jealous expression.

"Sheetal.. Such a long time yaar.." NK widened his eyes in surprise.

Arnav walked towards Khushi and wrapped his one arm around Khushi's waist looking like complete family with Avish in his mother's arms.

"She's Khushi.." Arnav said introducing her to Sheetal, "My wife.. The woman I can't live without.."

"My Amma.." Avish said smiling and cupped his mother's cheeks warmly.

Khushi would really cry hearing this from her both babies, but she had to control herself seeing the guest, she smiled: Hello..

"Hi.. I'm Sheetal, I was Arnav's girlfriend in college days.." she smirked devilishly.

"Sheetal.." Khushi looked at Arnav with realization tone and he nodded his head confirming it to her, "Arnav ji told me about you.."

"He did?" Sheetal looked unprepared for this reply. She thought she would witness a fight between the couple but nothing of that sort happened.

"Yes.. He shares everything with me.." Khushi said confused with Sheetal's expression.

"Maybe Sheetal hide this from her husband, right?" Mami smirked.

"She's a single mother Mami.." Arnav said, glancing at Mami to be careful while speaking.

"Oh sorry.." Mami smiled a little awkward with the ambience she created. Everyone was looking at Sheetal feeling pity of her and Sheetal was kind of having tears in her eyes now.

"It's okay.." she composed herself and pinched Aarav to greet Arnav's family.

Aarav did what she said with stern look mimicking Arnav.

"Hello hi bye bye.. What's wrong with you bitwa? Are you angry?" Mami asked seeing his look, he didn't smile for once at anyone.

"He is like this only.. Sometimes I wonder he should be Arnav's son.." Sheetal laughed.

"Chote? Chote was so naughty when he was kid Sheetal.. So Chote's son not possible.. This naughty baby boy you're seeing now is Chote's son.. Naughty like his father.." Anjali giggled and pulled Avish's cheek playfully.

"Aaah.." Avish cried pouting and hide his face on his mother's neck to hide from his Anjali bua.

"Di is right.. Aarav isn't like me when I was a kid, I used to trouble everyone and made lot of mischief.." Arnav smiled.

Both Anjali and Arnav kept chatting about their childhood memories while Sheetal and Aarav were angry now.

"Feel comfortable.. I will serve some juice and snacks for you both.." Khushi said.

"No need Khushi.. HP already served them.." Arnav said. He whispered on her ear, "Go and rest.. You must be tired.."

"Okay.." she smiled at him and took Avish to their room.

Anika and Ritwik, Akash and Payal's twin siblings went running behind their Khushi Mami and Avish.

"I guess it's late now.. We should get going, Arnav it was good to see you after a long time.." Sheetal smiled hugged him closely, Arnav hugged her back formally and soon detached himself from her feeling awkward. Aarav smiled seeing his father and mother hugging each other, and he felt his family is going to be completed very soon.

They both walked towards the door expecting Arnav to stop them but he didn't. Sheetal sighed irritated as her plans flopped badly and Aarav wondered when he will get father's love.

*****************************************************************************

"Amma.." Avish shouted seeing her walking out of the bathroom and Khushi rushed to him, "What happened my Rasgulla?"

Avish took his paper and showed to her, "Look at my dlawing (drawing)"

Anika and Ritwik laughed at Avish's drawing, he's just three years old and doesn't know how to draw properly, he just keeps playing with the colors to spend time with Anika and Ritwik who are six years old and already joined school.

"Everything is blue here Avi.." Khushi looked at him confused, earlier he would paint or draw something.

"Amma.. You say that Papa and my name means Ocean.. so we are your Ocean! And Ocean is blue only na.." Avish explained to her cutely.

"It's water.. It's transparent Avi.." Anika said giggling at him.

"I see blue.." Avi pouted stubborn on his decision that ocean is blue.

Khushi was so overwhelmed by her son gesture, she smiled and pulled him closer to her, kissing him all over his face.

Avish smile enjoying receiving his mother's love.

"We will show Amma our paintings also.." Anika and Avish went from there running to reach Payal.

Avish and Khushi continued with another painting, playing with each other in their own world.

Arnav walked in the room and closed the door. "Baujiiiiiiii.." Avish screamed, "Look at my dlawing!"

Khushi laughed at the way her son teases his father, while Arnav jumped on the bed and lifted his baby boy tickling him, "What did you say?"

"Bauji.." Avish giggled struggling on his father's arms.

"Acha? Bauji.." Arnav tickled him more, smiling.

"Okay.. Solly (Sorry).. Papaaaaa.." Avish tried to shove Arnav's hand from his tummy.

Arnav left him and kept him in the middle of the bed, between him and Khushi, "Show Papa your drawing.."

"See he drew an ocean.. and said that your names means Ocean and you both are my Ocean.." Khushi explained smiling to her husband.

"Whose son he is after all? Very intelligent my boy.." Arnav kissed Avish's forehead and took the paper from Khushi's hand, keeping it safely on his closet in a box, where he keeps every drawing of his son and this one has a special meaning now.

"He is my son too.." Khushi pouted.

"Do you know he ate three jalebis today?" Arnav said.

Khushi widened her eyes and looked at Avish, "Avi what Amma said to you?"

"Amma it's just today.." Avish whined.

Khushi looked at Arnav, Arnav chuckled: Just like you!

"As punishment you will drink one glass of milk, understood?" Khushi looked at Avish.

"Yesh Amma.." he said nodding and took his papers climbing down the bed, "I'm going to give this to Bua now.."

He ran towards the door and started jumping to reach the lockset. Arnav shook his head and walked to him, he opened the door for Avish, Avish looked up at him smiling, "Love you Papa!"

"Love you too baby boy!" Arnav smiled ruffling his hair and let him go running to his Bua's room.

Arnav walked to his wife and settled on the bed, pulling her closer, "How's shopping?"

"Good.. I bought so many things for you.. New shirts!" she said excitedly and stood on the bed ready to bring the bags and show him, but he pulled her to his lap circling his arms around her waist, "You will show me later.."

She closed her eyes feeling his breath on her neck, "So how was the meeting with your Ex girlfriend?"

"Someone is jealous.." he smirked.

"I'm not because you behaved like a good boy sitting far from her in another couch.." she said turning to face him.

"If you did anything to her in my absence, then I will chop you into tiny pieces Mr. RAIZADA!" she said in dangerous tone.

Both looked at each other for sometime and then burst out laughing.

"Your ex girlfriend came really pretty for you ahn.. red dress.. your favorite color.. hmm.. Not bad.." Khushi teased him, playing with his shirt buttons.

"Hmm.." Arnav nodded.

"Hmmm (she mimicked him).. I will beat you up Laad governor if you look at her.." Khushi smacked his chest smiling with wide eyes, shocked at his reaction. But then she knew he is just joking.

"Ouch.." Arnav laughed hissing in pain, "Poor me.."

Khushi pecked his lips smiling, "Fine now?"

"Naa.." he shook his head, "Want mole!" he spoke like Avish melting her heart. Arnav switched off the lights, and made her lay on bed, "Khushi can I tell you one thing?"

"Yes.." she nodded cupping his face.

"I love the way you trust me.. even when I told you about Sheetal and now that you met her personally.. I didn't see doubt and distrust in your eyes for me.. You weren't uncomfortable because you know she holds no place in my life anymore.. Yeah, your jealousy is always there.." he chuckled at the end.

"Haan.. Because you're only mine!" she pouted.

"Thank you for coming in my life.. I never thought I would love a woman that would make me repent today from having my past relationship with other women.." he touched his forehead with hers smiling.

"Past is past Arnav ji.. I wasn't there otherwise I would have twisted your ear.." she said smiling.

"Oh really.. Why didn't you do that when Lavanya was here?" he asked smirking.

"That time I didn't had right on you.." she shrugged.

"Now you have.. aur sirf tera haqh hai Khushi.. (and it's only your right)" he said huskily.

Khushi looked at him with moist eyes and he rolled her eyes, "Back you're at your role..Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada's tears of happiness, right?"

She sobbed and buried her face on his chest, "I lo..love you.. Arnav ji.." she managed to say in between her sobs.

"I love you too my Sanki.." he smiled caressing her back, "Now stop your tears of happiness.. They're looking like tears of sadness now.."

She giggled and hugged him tightly.
