Arnav switched on the air conditioner after leaving the single window in open as he read somewhere that new born needs fresh air to breath and their skin will took time to adjust with the temperature. Keeping the perfect temperature as suggested by doctor he let the room to cool.

"Why are you showing your monkey face to my son?" He asked as soon as his eyes caught the sight of Nk playing with aarush in living room.

"What to do, when his father always showing his poker face. He gets bored seeing the same face again and again" Nk replied nonchalantly resuming his task of entertaining aarush.

What th... Not even he was given chance to complete his dearest phase.

"Dare you say that word before my jelabi arnavji, I'll chop you" Khushi points her finger at him.

Swiftly Arnav turned facing her "You will CHOP me.. ME?" He asked in bewilderment giving extra pressure to each syllables.

She rolled her eyes in reflex "Haan, I'll chop you into pieces if ever you speak bad words infront of my jelabi"

"Do you think I'll sit quiet until you chop me?" He scoffed.

"Nahi, you will either stare at my jelabi or at your beloved laptop" Her words clearly showed how sarcastic it was.

"Unbelievable... You and your weird talks"

"Heyy guys, will ever you two stop fighting like kids?" Nk tired voice was unnoticed by the couple.

Arnav jumped in clearing his stance "I didn't start the fight, ok?"

Khushi showed her eyes "Do you mean I started the fight?"

"Is there any doubt on that?" He raised his brows in obvious.

"As if you are no less than me" Khushi scowled pointing her index finger at him.

"So you agree you started the fight"

"Hairee nandhakishore... How these two become parents?" Buaji's mutter left unheard as aarush started to wail gaining everyone attention.

Jumping on her feet, khushi craddled him on her arms.

"Shh... What my rajabeta want? Does he want his share of feed? Don't cry jelabi" Cooed Khushi took him to the room. 

Nk look at them going thoughtfully and put his hand casually on Arnav shoulder.

"Nannav, khushiji didn't took the feeding bottle did she?"

Arnav throws a weird glance shoving his hand away muttering "Unbelievable. Did you land straight from the sky?"

Nk make faces hearing his grumpy answer. Moving aside he took his galaxy mobile to get assisted from Google. As typed all the basics were fell down one by one in various links as he read, he face palmed himself and shook his head realising how stupid his questions were some time back.

"I asked Panditji to write kundali for aarush. And we need to perform naming ceremony. Panditji suggested three dates. Select any date chotte. Do I need to say it should be grand?" Nani said polietly yet her face was glowing in joy. It's not that everyone gets the opportunity to see their great grandchild and have the chance to nurture them.

"No need for grand celebration Nani. Just do it in our mansion, he's already named na, so that's enough. No need to call each and every person in Delhi" Arnav denied which caught everyone attention.

"Why bhai? I mean, we always celebrate every occasion in a grand manner then why not this?" Aakash asked for everyone.

"I said no need, I mean it... NO NEED. Discussion closed" He told sternly getting up.

Khushi pressed her plam on his shoulder making him to sit back at the chair "Arnavji what is this new drama? See how Naniji face fell. Let's do like everyone wish. Won't you think, our aarush needs everyone blessings?"

Arnav shook his head as if they're gone case "Isn't it's enough that our family blessings are always with him, what is the need to depend on outsiders? No one better than us wish more good for him. There's Nani, Mami, Mama, Buaji, Aunty, Uncle and even us and yeah Nk parents are there to bless him. What more wishes do he want?"

Nani closed her eyes in exasperation. While Gupta's zipped their lips knowing their words would not have any effect on him when he was not even ready to listen his family members.

"Nannav, it's not a business meet. It's celebration, don't examine profit and loss here" The ever jovial Nk said in a serious tone not able to digest Arnav's way of dealing things and his not so called explanation.

"You shut up Nk" Growled Arnav.

"Arnavji.. what do you think of yourself? Aarush is not only your son but mine too. And I am declaring aarush naming ceremony will be going to happen in a grand way" Khushi declared taking her seat beside Nani.

"Naniji I'll arrange the necessary items and call the guests. Food, Naniji I think it should be best to call Lucknow..." Khushi blabbered planning the ceremony.

"Khushi..."

"You shut up chotte. If you didn't like it, then you're most welcome to attend your meetings and we'll conduct whatever needed. Just sit at puja as a father for a while that's enough" Nani declared earning a giggle from almost everyone.

"Nani... You can't declare like that. Whoever attending the ceremony will not let him breath peacefully. They'll keep pinching his cheeks and keeps kissing him in the name of affection. It was going to suffocate him and I never let him feel like that way. And you guys invite whole Delhi and in no way I am going to allow the whole Delhi to pick and cuddle my son. So a big NO to grand celebrations" 

Arnav reprimanded and shared his reason as he clearly remembered how hard it had been to put aarush away from buaji neighbours. They all knocked the door on the second day of his arrival, not to say Arnav got reminded about the horrible memory of them pinching him when he first visited Gupta house after his marriage with Khushi. Fearing about the same treatment for his son by half of Delhi he hopped inbetween them and with his business tactics he was successful in avoiding them from meeting aarush.

"Are you serious chotte? Don't give heart attack to us with this talks" Nani rebuked getting up and picked sleeping aarush in her arms.

"Our ladla is going to have a grand celebration. Aakash, it's your duty to look after the preparations. Khhshj betiya, you should be in total rest. Don't stress yourself. After several years, we got a little one and I am not going to compromise on anything regarding him. Prince of Raizada clan deserve everything" Nani announced in final and get back into her earlier task of looking after her great grandson.

"Nani, it's not done. You cannot amend my order just like that. He is my son and I have all rights to decide what is good for him.. Nani.. khushi.. stop you all... Dammitttt" Arnav cursed as he saw them giving no ear to his scoldings and immersed in their plannings.

After that day he persuaded everyone to stop the preparations but none heard his threatenings. Instead they speed up their pace as they smell about his plans of stopping the preparations through Aman. Later Aman got too much scoldings and you're fired phrase he was spared from ASR wrath.
