It was finally time, Muskaans day to perform finally was there. She was really nervous as it was a surprize for her father the grate arnav singh raizada who always hated it when the songs came in between a bollywood movie. Muskaan was getting ready in her room as a knock on the door scared her.

"Ek minute!" she said and stood up opening the door slowly. Her Brother Ayaan was standing infront of her and smiled at her.

"Ready?" he asked her. Muskaan nodded.

"Whats the plan now?" she asked her elder brother.

"I'll bring you to your school with arun and ratna. Later mom will come with the others."

"Hello hi bye-bye." they both looked at their mami who was also getting ready.

"kya hua mami?" asked muskaan.

"nothing, i'm just excited to see you dance, i hope you wont do any mistakes. Show what good dancer we have in our family." said mami proud which made muskaan smile brightly.

"Don't worry mami, i'll dance till my feet burn." said muskaan and ayaan hugged her sidely.

"We should get going." he said and held the bag which had muskaans dress in it.

"Bye mami." they both said and walked out of the house.

Later that morning Khushi got ready sitting infront of the mirror in her room. She was wearing a red saree which had black roses on it. Arnav was already dresses, he just finished some work on his lap top as he was waiting for his khushi.

"Arnav ji, finished?" asked khushi who stood infront of him.

"Haan, ek second.." he said and closed his laptop. "So.." he stood up and held khushi's hands.

"Where are you taking me?" he asked looking lovingly into her eyes.

"It's a surprize." said khushi smiling.

"Come on khushi.."

"Arnav ji! stop talking lets go." she said as they walked out of their room to the living room. There , the whole family was waiting for them. Arnav saw that and got scared. He stopped walking and looked at khushi.

"Kya hua?" she asked.

"Khushi..please tell me we are not going to the cinema." said arnav.

"What?" she asked as she let out a chuckle but then she realized what he thought of. Their visit to the cinema when they watched a salman khan movie. Se chuckled at the thought and wnated to calm him down but then NK interrupted her.

"NANNAV! come on bhai lets go, otherwise we will be late." said NK.

"Did you reserve something?" asked arnav his wife but she just shook her head.

"Bhai, bhabhi!" akash called them.

"We're comming." said khushi and they walked down the stairs.

"Khushi, i thought we're going out."

"We are."

"Alone." added arnav and khushi hit his arm.

"Stop it now, your not in your 30s your in your 50s."

"So, can't i have a great time with my wife even in my 50s?"

"hush!"

"Shall we?" asked mami smiling.

"Mami aap bhi?" asked arnav.

"Haan arnav bitwa. Hum tumhara mama, akash bitwa, payal bitiya kids ke saath, nk with lavanya bitiya aur Aasiya."

"But why?" asked arnav.

"Uffoo papa!" said arun annoyed.

"Papa tum bhi na! Lets just go!" said ratna stomping with her feet to the ground.

"Arnav ji! don't angry my kids, come now." said khushi getting nervous and angry with her husband.

"ASR trust me, you will like it." said lavanya smiling as they left the raizada mansion.

At school, well backstage, Muskaan was already in her dress waiting for her family to come. She looked behind the curtain as her eyes searched for her family but she could only see ayaan. He saw her and gave her a thumbs up. She smiled at him and went backstage again. Ayaan looked around.

"Oh god please let dad be in a good mood. Please." he said a he prayed with his folded hands.

"Ayaan?"

He looked up and saw lavanya standing there.

"La?"

"What are you doing? Move." said lavanya as they all sat in their seats till ayaan was sitting between akash and his father.

"Ayaan?"

"Hi dad."

"What will muskaan show us?" asked arnav slowly.

"HEY!" khushi turned him to her. "Don't you dare ask our son anything otherwise you'll sleep on the recliner for the next week" said khushi angry.

"Lekin bhaat kya hai, i don't get it." said arnav getting frustrated.

Ayaan smirked at his father and looked to his right where akash was sitting with aradhna on his lap.

"Hi aradhna!"

aradhna smiled at ayaan and gave him a high five. "hi ayaan!"

"Are you excited?" he asked her in a whisper so that his father couldn't hear them. Aradhna smiled and nodded at him.

"Ayaan.."

Ayaan turned to his father. "yes dad?"

Arnav gave him a serious look. "Tell me whats going on."

Ayaan looked over to his mother who gave him a death stare and before he could do any mistake the lights went off and the curtains opnened.

"Here is your answer dad." said ayaan and they all looked at the stage.

Raghukul reet sadaa chali aayi, Praan jaaye par vachan na jay

Muskaan was in the middle of the stage lipsinging to the lyrics with a golden lehenga. Around 12 other girls we're around her with silver Lehengas swaying to the music.

Raghuvar teri raah nihaarein 2x
Saaton janam se Siya

Ghar more pardesiya

Aao padhaaro piyaGhar more pardesiyaAao padhaaro piya

Muskaan danced just like alia bhatt did in the movie. All her friends behind and next to her.

Na to maiya ki lori
Na hi phaagun ki hori
Mohe kuch doosra na bhaaye re
Jabse naina yeh jaake
Ik dhanurdhar se laage
Tabse birha mohey sataye re

Duvidha meri sab jag jaane
Duvidha meri sab jag jaane
Jaane naa nirmohiya

Ghar more pardesiya
Aao padhaaro piya
Ghar more pardesiya
Aao padhaaro piya

Khushi took a moment to look at her husband as she saw him mesmerized by their daughter.

"Arnav ji.."

"Khushi, is that muskaan?"

Khushi smiled and nodded.

"She has grown so fast." said arnav and khushi layed her head on his shoulder.

"Are you happy?" asked khushi looking at him.

Arnav looked at her and nodded. "Of course i am, hamari 'choti si duniya' has grown."

"Haan, now we have to find ayaan a bride." said khushi.

"What the-"

"Shh! Radha wants to get married, i want our son to get married too." said khushi.

"Khushi he has time, he just came back from america."

"Uffo arnav ji!"

"Shut up khushi." said arnav and continued watching his princess dance.

As muskaan finished her dance everybody applauded and stood up from their seats. The whole Raizada family stood up and cheered for their star. Muskaan looked at them and smiled with teras in her eyes as her friends hugged her.

"MUSKAAN!" NK screamed and akash whistled as he made payal next to him chuckle.

Ayaan was clapping and waved at her. Muskaan waved back and looked at her parents. Khushi showed her a thumbs up and smiled as her right arm was still around arnav's left arm. Arnav was also clapping when he decided to send his daughter a flying kiss. Muskaan smiled and caught it.

Arnav let out a chuckle and continued clapping till the curtains closed again.

"So dad, did you like the surprize?" asked ayaan smiling.

"Of course, muskaan did it very well. But when did this all start?" asked arnav being the serious man he always was.

"ehhmm well..it started some months ago but we didn't tell you because we we're scared you would say no." said ayaan.

Arnav chuckled and layed his hand on Ayaan's shoulder. "So my kids started lying hm?"

"What? No dad, we would not even dare."

Arnav just looked at him. "No but it's true, muskaan didn't tell me about the performance and you.."

Ayaan looked at his father who was already giving him his ASR look. "What about me dad?" asked ayaan with a scared voice.

"Don't you dare lie to me." said arnav and hit his shoulder a few times before walking to the backstage area to meet his daughter. Khushi heard every word and saw her sons state. Ayaan had a weird feeling in his stomach, he was lying to his father but..he is not doing anything bad. Still it didn't feel right.

"Ayaan?"

Ayaan got scared and looked behind.

"You're blocking the way." said akash.

"oh, sorry chacha." he said and walked out.

"Mom!"

Khushi looked at her son. "Haan ayaan?"

"main ja raha hoon." he said

Khushi just nodded. And ayaan wanted to walk away.

"Ayaan!" khushi called him again.

"Yes." he turned around. Khushi walked towards him and touched his cheek.

"Tum theek ho, haina?" asked khushi and ayaan looked down.

"Kya tumhare dad ke shabd..."

"No mom, i'm okey." said ayaan and held her hands.

"You're not looking okey, something is bothering you." said khushi scared.

Ayaan just looked at his mother, she was the one who always took away his pain. He cupped her face and kissed her forehead.

"Main theek hoon mom, chinta mat karo. If there is something i will come to you only. Theek hai?"

"You can also talk to your father, you're a young man now."

Ayaan looked back over his mom at his father who was hugging his sister. He shook his head.

"You're my best friend, i can tell you everything without feeling scared."

Khushi had tears in her eyes. "Ayaan.."

"Main jaa raha hoon." he said and got into the car.

A tear fell on khushi's cheek but she wiped it away as she heard payal calling her.

"KHUSHI!"

Khushi turned around and smiled a her family. Payal told her to come and see muskaan winning the trophy with her friends. Khushi tood next to her husband who was talking to arun and ratna as she came.

"Dad can i please also dance like muskaan didi when i'm older?" asked ratna.

"Haan, do whatever you want. I just want you to be happy." said arnav and touched their cheeks.

Khushi felt bad for her elder son.

Kyun arnav ji? If you're so open about the future of your kids, then why did you start a fight with ayaan? He just wanted to do what he wants..and you talked to him with heavy words. Can't you see the sadness in his eyes?

Arnav looked at khushi and saw that she blanked out.

"Khushi?" She looked at him. "Are you okey?"

Khushi just nodded.

"Mom, look muskaan." said arun who stood infront of his mother while ratna stood infront of arnav. Khushi nodded smiling at her Muskaan on the stage. Arnav looked back at her and noticed that she cried.

"Khushi.." he looked at the other family members. "Ayaan kaha hai?"

"He went home to organize the party for muskaan." said khushi not looking at him.

Arnav nodded still looking at her. "Kya hua?" asked arnav laying his hand on khushi's shoulder. Ratna and Arun looked at them. Khushi pushed his hand away. "Kuch nahin." she said cold and layed her hands on aruns shoulders looking at muskaan who was still on stage with her school.

Arnav looked at his wife with furled eyebrows. Suddenly he got a phone call.

"Hello Di?"

"....."

"Yeah we'll be home in about 30 minutes."

"...."

"Ayaan is at home preparing the party, so you, jijaji and radha can already go there."

"...."

"Okey, see you there di, bye-bye." said arnav and put his phone back into his pocket.

"Di is.."

"Ratna, come." Khushi took arun and ratnas hands and walked away with them.

"Khu-"

"We're waiting in the car." said khushi without even looking at him.

"What the..kya hua is ladki ko?"
