Arnav and Akash followed behind a broken Payal and Khushi, and from a distance they saw Shashi hugging his daughters who were crying in his arms.

Garima and Madhumati also joined the hug. A few minutes later a nurse and doctor came and spoke to to them and from their expression all were relieved of what they were told but that relief was short lived as everyone's expression changed to that of extreme pain especially Khushi's expression was worse.

She and the others followed the doctor who disappeared with them into the children's emergency ward.

The brothers stood in confusion not knowing what to do as they figured out that who ever that person was, he or she was very important to their wives.

A few minutes later the same nurse who was with the doctor passed by and the Raizada brothers stopped her and asked.

"Hi young lady."Arnav said stopping the lady who blushed as she have seen ASR and Akash infront of her for she knew they were the owners of the hospital and Asia's top billionaires.

Arnav got angry and frown making the nurse gulp in fear and composed herself.

" Yes Mr Raizada what can I do for you? " The nurse asked with fear evident in her voice.

"What happened to those to ladies with whom you and the doctor spoke to minutes ago. "

"Something really bad sir..........."This increased Arnav and Akash's worries. " Their father and kids got into a serious accident, the other kids are alright but the little girl among them is in critical condition. "

Arnav and Akash widened their eyes in shock at this revelation but composed themselves.

"Please what ward is the little girl and her brothers. " Akash asked

"She and the boys are in children emergency ward, but the girl is in room 15 while the boys are in room 12." The nurse replied and Akash thanked her and she left.

Akash and Arnav moved to the children's emergency room and immediately they got there they saw Madhumati through the transparent glass, playing with a boy who was the splitting image of Akash when he was little, another was sitting on the bed playing with a wooden toy, and he has soft features like Payal.

Next to them was identical twin boys who looked exactly like Arnav when he was little, both playing with little cars with Payal.

Akash and Arnav smiled realizing they were kids. Both brothers looked at each other with tears of joy and hugged each other but after a few seconds Arnav pulled out of the hug but Akash frown in confusion when he saw the shock on Arnav's face and he followed his gaze and that was when Akash saw why his brother was shocked.

Moving towards them was the woman the saw at the park a few days ago holding a shopping bag but what surprised them was she passed by them and entered the room where their kids were and immediately she entered one of the boys reached out to her and she gladly picked him up and started playing with him,from this the Raizada brothers realised she was close to the family, that when both brothers remembered what the nurse said.

Arnav eyes teared up when he remembered the little girl at the park, her cute button nose, rosy cheeks and her eyes, her eyes were just like his Khushi.

That was when Arnav realised she was his daughter, his Khushi had triplets, he looked up at Akash and saw the smile on his face. Arnav then realised his brother has also figured it out.

"Bhai!....... Bhai the little girl from the park she is my niece. " said an excited Akash and Arnav nodded with a smile on his face.

Both brothers hugged each with tear cascading down their faces. At that moment they both didn't give a damn about who may see them in this state and also they for a moment forgot what had happened. All that they cared about was their promotion from men to fathers.

Suddenly Arnav remembered what the nurse said when he saw another nurse pass by.

Arnav then broke the hug and started searching frantically for room 15 where his princess maybe fighting for her life. Arnav became agitated when he couldn't find room 15 and he gripped his hair and pulled it out of frustration, Akash rushed to Arnav and held his hands and asked

"Bhai, what's wrong?"

"Akash my baby girl is in danger and I have to see her. " A broken Arnav voiced out and Akash then remembered what the nurse had told them and curse himself for forgetting.

Knowing that his brother was not in the right state of mind now he took charge and called a nurse who was passing by and asked of the room. She then directed them to the next top floor. Arnav slowly moved there and what he saw through the transparent glass broke his heart.
In the room he saw his princess attached to a ventilator

Imagine Arshi like this.

His heart broke into pieces seeing his princess like this. He moved into the room and slowly reached out to his princess

And stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.

Khushi and Shashi were shocked to see Arnav there and from the look of things Khushi knew Arnav knows she is his daughter.

And for some reason she was glad Arnav was there. Garima was fuming in anger at Arnav's presence there but she kept quiet knowing this was not the right place for a confrontation.

After a few minutes, a crying Arnav stopped crying and pulled out his phone and called the director of the hospital who immediately reached there.

Arnav immediately commanded for the best doctors in and out of the hospital for his princess and the doctor knew better not to disobey ASR's order.

Within an hour doctors flooded into the room of Arshi and after some more test was done, it was concluded that Arshi was not as critical as the previous doctor had said.

Making Khushi and Arnav relief, by now Shashi sensing his wife's rage and knowing that she will add more fuel to the fire forcefully drag her out.

After the doctors confirmation, Arnav and Khushi moved out of the room, Khushi sat on the waiting chair and Arnav sat opposite to her with his head leading against the wall with his eyes closed. Khushi who observing him all this while realized that he wasn't the Arnav she knew before, he has lost weight, he had bags under his eyes and most importantly he wasn't the Arnav he was before as she knew the previous Arnav would have lashed out on her. After a long silent, Khushi spoke with a broken voice.

"Thanks for your help, now I can relax knowing my baby is safe. "

Arnav opened his eyes and looked at Khushi sadly and then chuckled and shook his head at her words.

"Your baby!......... The right word Khushi is OUR baby and please please don't ever thank me for doing my responsibility and duty for OUR baby. " Arnav said stressing the word our.

Khushi noticed the hurt in his voice and she instantly felt guilty. Arnav stood up to leave which shocked Khushi but a few steps away he stopped and came back and sat on the chair again and asked.

"Can I ask you something MRS KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA SINGH RAIZADA. " Khushi nodded and Arnav continued. "Do you think I deserve this kind of punishment" Khushi tried to retort but Arnav beat her to it. "I will answer it for you the answer my love is no. I don't deserve this." By now both were crying. "I lost my love, my wife, my sister, my family. I lost everything but today the pain of knowing I had three kids whom I didn't know about is far more worst than the pain I felt when I lost you, my family and mother combined........... I know I deserve the worse punishment for what I did to you but this punishment Khushi is unbearable..........."Arnav said in between sobs and Khushi stood up, moved closer to him raised him up and hugged him. Arnav also reciprocated and both cried together

both broke the hug and Arnav continued. "I want to be part of their lives, they need me as much as I need them. And please don't deprive me of their love."

Khushi began to panic thinking Arnav was going to take away the kids from her. Arnav read her mind and quickly refuted her thoughts. " Don't panic Khushi, I will never snatch them away from you, they need you more than me, every child need their mother more than their father.......... I'm just asking you not to prevent me from seeing and being part of their lives. "

"Okay......... You can see them when you want. " Khushi said smiling through her tears.

"I want to be with you too and see you. " Arnav said cupping Khushi's face in his hands and gently. Khushi moved away from Arnav which hurt him but he covered it up with a smile.

"Am sorry Arnavji whatever was between as is over but then you can also see me when you come to see the kids. " Khushi voiced out and Arnav knew better not to push her but at least his gets to see her which will help him woo her back.

" So I guess our divorce is still happening but don't worry I won't fight you and I will gladly sign the divorce papers. " Arnav said making Khushi hurt and angry at how casually he spoke of divorce. And what made her even more angry was that the signature smirk on his face but what Khushi didn't know was that Arnav was testing her. She was about to give him a piece of her mind when Arnav beat her to it.

"Don't misunderstand me Khushi, I want to give you the divorce because I want to start afresh with you as our marriage was filled with hurt, mistrust, misunderstanding and pain especially for you. I want to recreate a new chapter in our story. And the divorce is the beginning of that goal. "

Khushi nodded in agreement while scolding herself for jumping into conclusion. All this while both were oblivious of the pair of eyes that heard their final conversation.

One with a smile on his face and other with rage and fury. Arshi's moment was broken by the angry voice of Garima.

"Don't you dare think you have won because I will never allow my daughters be with you and your brother. " Garima yelled before walking away from them to baby Arshi's room.

Arnav and Khushi looked at Shashi for answers and he told them what happened minutes ago.

"Your mother and I pumped into your lawyer and he had no choice but to call the court and tell them of the existence of the kids before Arnav's lawyer does it. Your mum was furious for what the lawyer did, but he explained that if Arnav's lawyer had done it, Arnav would have had an upper hand if he was to file for custody of the kids. So he did first, according to him the judge was furious and has scheduled your next meeting which is in two days. "

"I will never take the kids away from Khushi, they need her more than me........ I once hurt my love once and am not going to repeat the same mistake again and please Mr Gupta be rest assured of it. " Arnav said to Shashi who smiled at Arnav sensing the honesty in his voice and so did Khushi.

"But how did all of this happen. " Arnav asked while aiding Shashi to the chair. Shashi sat down with a sad look on his face and Arshi knew he was mentally blaming himself for what happened.

"Papa what ever happened was not your fault. " Khushi assured Shashi and Arnav backed her up.

"Khushi is right. You are not to be blamed and neither is it you fault so stop blaming yourself. "

This made Shashi feel a little bit better he then started narrating what happened.

"We were on our way to the back when Arshi reached out to me to carry her, so I unbuckle her from a baby sit and placed her on my lap. A few minutes later I felt something slam into out car and it started somersaulting. Luckily when I opened my eyes Anita and the driver was okay but groan in pain and the boys started wailing but our Arshi was unconscious and was not breathing. Some bystanders help pull us out of the car and called the ambulance which brought us here. The kids were check and had no internal or external wound because of their seat belt which saved them from any major damage but Arshi's case was different because she was playing on my lap when it happened and because of that we are here. "

"Don't worry Mr Gupta she is safe now. And I will make sure she gets the best treatment. " Arnav with a smile on his face assured Shashi.

The trio was interrupted by four doctors who asked for their presence in Arshi's room. They entered to find Garima there who looked at Arnav with anger and disgust. Khushi and Shashi saw this and shook his head at his wife's demeanor.

"ASR after carefully examining her case she is alright but she has to say at the hospital for at least two days for some observations. And as for the boys they will be discharged tomorrow. " One of the doctors voiced out. They all sighed in relief but Khushi then asked.

"But why did she faint?."

"She lost consciousness out of shock and luckily your father had shielded her on time to avoid any major damage.......... Ok we will take our leave now but be warned she may become very cranky when she wakes up. "

The doctor said and left, the four then took their turns in kissing and showing her with love.

To be continued.
