Lavanya was about to move to tell Arnav about her mother but stopped in her tracks when she saw Khushi smiling and blushing profusely at something Arnav was saying to her and Arnav was also smiling genuinely at her. Lavanya knew if she told Arnav about her mother, he will be frustrated and in the process Khushi will also notice it. And she would never be able to forgive herself of it.

" No...... Lavanya, you will have to protect them from Urvashi...... " Lavanya murmured but enough for Karan and Nk who were closer to her and heard her. Karan was about to speak when NK beat him to it making him fume in anger.

"Lavanya.... (Nk called her breaking her out of her trance and she turned to see Karan and NK.) Why do you want to protect bhai and bhabhi from your mum? "

Lavanya knew she couldn't hid her observation anymore and she also knew she couldn't do it alone. She sighed and asked them to follow her outside. When they were out of sight of the others she made Karan and NK sit.

"Urvashi is planning something to hurt Khushi...... But I don't know why and for what reason? "
Lavanya said shocking the men.

"Lavanya..... Are you sure? " NK asked but regretted it when he saw Lavanya's teared up eyes and within a seconds tears was cascading down her cheeks making both men panic. Both stood up and rushed to Lavanya but she raised her hand gesturing them not to come any further.

"Yes I am sure NK....... (Wiping the tears off her face) If she and MJ were capable of murdering my unborn child and their own grandchild then they are capable of doing what ever they want to hurt Khushi.... Because for some hidden reason,they both hate Khushi. "
Lavanya answered painfully and both men stood in shock at the new revelation. Most affected was Karan he turned to Lavanya and she immediately knew he was confused and he was about to speak when  what Lavanya said next killed him inside. " I know you think I miscarried our baby but the truth is they killed my baby. "

Karan fell on his knees and cried his heart out. Even though NK hated Karan for what he did to Lavanya, he still felt his pain but then Lavanya was more important to him than Karan so he moved closer to Lavanya, supported her and moved her closer to the chair and made her sit.

"Lavanya!...... I know it's maybe none of my business but I thought you had a miscarriage. " NK asked and Lavanya replied.

"I also thought so too but I  found out about  my forced abortion when I want to the hospital a few months ago because of a constant abdominal pain I have been experiencing and that's when after a series of test the doctor found out the abortion performed on me was botch and had led to an infection but luckily the infection wasn't that severe....... After my appointment I left to confront my parents only to find them arguing over money sent to them by Shyam which my mum had spent recklessly and now they were broke because I cut them off. I was shocked as to why Shyam will give them money and oblivious of my presence, my father revealing that they had aborted my baby because Shyam told them to and they didn't think twice because they found out I got married to Karan and that the baby was his.... So in doing so they will be killing two birds with one stone..... I left there without them noticing me and the following day I kicked them out without telling them the reason why...... Few weeks later I flew to India, after that I called Arnav to tell him about what Shyam did but I couldn't because he was so happy that Khushi and the kids were with him and I didn't want him to think all that happened to me was his fault so I kept it to myself until now. "

After Lavanya was done, NK was silently crying for Lavanya for what she had been through and his love for her increased seeing her selfless nature. Who would have thought a woman like Lavanya would put her pain aside and suffer in silence just to prevent her loved ones from hurting. NK realised Khushi had that same nature and from that alone he believed without a thought they were in deed sisters. Karan was broken, hurt and angry, he stood up from his current position and said.

"Why didn't you have them arrested? "

NK was furious at Karan for asking such a question and he was about to retort when Lavanya who saw Nk's expression knew what will happen if she did stop him. So he held his hand, signalling him not to speak.

"And what I that do huh...... Will it bring back my baby ( Karan shook his head sideways not being able to face Lavanya and she chuckled sadly) See you can't even answer me because you are also responsible for everything...... If you hadn't believed that criminal.... If only you trusted me then our baby would have been playing with his or her cousins by now........ So please I employ the both of you to keep this between us and let forget this conversation ever happened....... I couldn't save my baby from my parents but I will not fail with my baby sister...... So please let forget the past and focus on the present and future. "

Both nodded and then the trio planned to keep an eyes on Urvashi, MJ and Khushi. The trio left for the party.  At the party Arnav and Khushi were dancing to their heart content with no care and the family were watching on happily.

Lavanya immediately forgot her ordeal which happened few minutes ago and joined her sister in the dance together with Nk.

Karan who couldn't stop feeling guilty left.

Khushi who was now dancing with NK turned to see Arnav but had a look of anger on his face and turned her gaze to the direction of his gaze to see the source that made her Arnav mad. She signalled the DJ to stop the music confusing everyone who looked at Khushi. Arnav matched to Sheetal with a predatory steps and Khushi immediately knew hell was going to break lose if she doesn't handle the situation. She knew Sheetal didn't mean to do what she did especially after Arnav told her about how he and Sheetal met. She then rushed and beat Arnav to it and stood in front of Sheetal with a smile on her face shocking Sheetal who bowed her head down in shame.

"Hi Sheetal...... Please come in. " Khushi said dragging Sheetal in making Arnav mutter his famous WHAT THE!.
"May I have everyone's attention..... This is Sheetal..... Arnav's friend from Harvard. "

Khushi introduced her, shocking Sheetal who realized Arnav had told Khushi about their real relationship. Arnav stood there with a poker face while the other had a mix of emotion. Others were angry and other's were disgusted.

"Hello hi bye bye..... You are the woman who tried to break Arnav bitwa and my bahu's marriage. " Mami said disgustingly and was about to continue when one deadly glare from Akash stopped her and she moved away out of fear. An ashamed Sheetal who was by now crying moved closer to Arnav and joined her hand together.

"Please forgive me Arnav........ I didn't mean to do it...... My parents were drowning in debts and I saw sabotaging your relationship with Khushi as an easy way of paying their debts or they will go to jail. "
A remorseful Sheetal sincerely said and everyone believed her. But Arnav was not ready to barge, so Khushi moved closer to him and wrapped her hands around Arnav's arms  and said.

"Arnavji....... Please forgive her..... She is repenting. "

Arnav looked at Khushi not at all shocked at what she said. He knew immediately he told Khushi about Sheetal, she will take her side.

"How do you expect me to forgive huh.... I protected you from bullies...... I feed and clothed you even though I had a hard time providing for myself..... I rescued you from your parents abuse and helped your pay your tuition when your parents cut you off  to force you to drop out and marry an old man twice your father's age...... I was always there for you but as a brother but how did you repay...... By trying to sabotage my already fragile relationship. " Arnav yelled making everyone flinch at the intensity of his voice. Everyone felt how hurt he was. Arnav with the help of Khushi calmed down and continued.
"But I don't blame you...... If my own relatives betrayed me.... How much more an outsider I came to love and protect like baby sister. "

Anjali, Mami and Nani bowed their head in shame knowing his last sentence was directed to them.
Sheetal couldn't take it anymore and run out of the party in tears with Aman trailing behind her. Everyone especially Garima felt bad for Arnav and Sheetal as she knew her stupid revenge caused this. Arnav then hugged Khushi , his number one comfort and that was when he spotted Dadi in the audience with a teared up eyes. He broke the hug and said with a stern voice.

"What are you doing her Subhadra Malik? "

Everyone turned to the direction of Arnav's gaze to find her there and what shocked the family the most was the fact that no one knew she was here. She was about to speak when Arnav stopped her. Within a few seconds Subhadra felt a tug on her saree and looked down to see Arshi holding her saree and waving in back and forth smiling at Subhadra. She picked her up and kissed her cheeks making her giggle. She moved with Arshi to her parents and handed her to her father and said.

"Am sorry for coming here without you permission ( turning to Khushi)  you are a good mother unlike me whom to hid her failure and ease the burden of guilt of being a horrible mother... Destroyed many lives including that of my grandchildren...... Please forgive..... I just wanted to see them once before I leave forever."

Subhadra immediately after finishing left with tears in her eyes. Arshi immediately started yawning, an indication that it was time to go home. Arnav, Khushi, Payal and Akash left the party with their kids after thanking the close friends they invited to the party.  But on the way home Akash and Payal had to go back to PK Designs because of a minor problem only for them to return home a few hours later with Akash's left arm in a sling. The family got worried seeing it but Akash assured them it was a minor accident but only Payal knew the truth. She almost lost Akash today on the birthday of their babies. She realized her anger towards Akash is justified but could have ruined them today if she hadn't got to Akash on time. Everyone dispersed to their respective rooms.
Immediately they entered their room Payal hugged Akash and cried as if her life depended on it.

"I almost lost you today......... Am so sorry...... Please forgive me. " A broken and crying Payal said still hugging Akash. Akash then broke the hug and said while wiping her tears.

"Stop crying Payal..... what happened is not you fault..... In fact I should be the one apologizing not you....... Okay. "

Payal nodded and again hugged Akash who reciprocated.
After a few minutes of hugging each other Payal said.

"Akash! "

"Hmm." Akash replied.

"Let's start over again. "

A shocked Akash broke the hug and stared at Payal with all the love he had in him. That moment both said nothing as they didn't need words to understand each other.

That night another reunion was made possible.

The next day, after a lot of persuasions Khushi was able to convince Arnav to forgive Sheetal but under a condition that she and Payal will forgive Garima. Both agendas were achieved. Arnav then convinced Shashi,Garima,Madhumati, Anita and Durga to move in with them. They refused at first but a little manipulation from Khushi, Payal and Lavanya did the trick and they had no choice than to move in much to the distaste of Mami who didn't like that they were allowed to play and take care of the children when she couldn't. Sheetal who was also invited to stay with the Raizadas also became the new aunt to the kids and was glad to get her brother back. She also found a sister in Lavanya, Payal and Khushi. Everyone was particularly busy with the fashion show that will take place the next day. They day ended successfully and they were super ready for the fashion show. Arnav and Akash with the help of Lavanya and Sheetal planned a surprise for the sisters.

The Next Day.

The adults with the exception of Durga stayed home with the children to watch the fashion show as it will be telecasted live.

They stage was set and all the designs and models were ready for the fashion show. Big names in the fashion and movie industry were all present including big time critics and fans. The almost 9 acres of field at PK Designs was filled to capacity and some had to be turned away. Security was so tight and accurately prepared thanks to Rishi. Five Escalades arrived at the venue as Arnav, Khushi, Payal, Akash, Sheetal, Anjali, Aman and the others came out of it and headed to  the venue.

Aman stepped on the stage grabbing everyone's attention.

"Ladies and Gentlemen.... Am Aman Mathur....... And am honoured to be your presenter for the this evening and joyous occasion...... I proudly present to you PK Designs and Bharosa collection.

Immediately Aman was done the run way lit up and models wearing outfits and jewelry by PK and Bharosa started the display.

All the models walked the runway way with grace and confidence in their designs making the audience at the venue and home watching it go awe in amazement at the beautiful dresses and jewelry that perfectly complimented them. Finally the show stopper worn by the ever talented and beautiful Kangana Ranaut.

The show became the talk of the town within a short time and was also trending on social media. After the models were done, Aman stepped on the stage.

" Ladies and Gentlemen...... This is the end of the show but before we leave I would like to call upon the leaders who made this possible....... So please with a round of applause... Let's welcome Mr Arnav Singh Raizada and his other half Mrs Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada and Mr Akash Singh Raizada and his other half Mrs Payal Gupta Singh Raizada. "

Everyone including Khushi and Payal were shocked with the announcement but one look at their husbands and they knew it was their doing. The brothers gently dragged their shocked and blushing wives onto the stage.
The reporters were having a field day clicking pictures from every angle as the couldn't get enough of the couples.
At home everyone had tears of joy in their eyes because of how flawlessly perfect the pairs look together.

" First of all we will like to thank our beautiful wives for the spectacular jewelry designs which brought out the shine and grace of the designs presented today...... " Arnav said making the audience and the others go awe.

"We couldn't have done this without them..... After all they inspired the designs you saw today and we like to thank all of you for the tremendous success to this collaboration with Bharosa, which happens to be owned by our wives...... Thank you all for coming and thanks to those watching at home. " Akash continued and then the all walked off the stage with their wives by their side as the media took pictures of them. It took a lot of efforts from Rishi and his team to get the couple out of there.

They entered PK's main building to find the Sheetal, Aman, Durga, Karan, Anjali and a few trusted employees already there. Sheetal run over to Khushi and Payal and yanked them out off their husbands arms and hugged them which they also reciprocated. They broke the hug after a few minutes.

"How do you like my brothers surprise? " Sheetal asked mischievously making the sisters look at their husbands and immediately knew they planned it.

"We loved it. " Khushi and Payal said in unison.

"Congratulations guys...... They show was a record hit because of the genius minds of all of you. " Durga said and Khushi moved over Durga and hugged him sideways.

"So what next guys. " Aman asked.

"What else than to partyyyyyy. " Sheetal squealed making the others laugh and Arnav shook his head knowing that Sheetal is a party freak and can also throw a good one too.

"You are absolutely right and Arnav's upcoming birthday is the best party we can have after this success. " Aman said supporting Sheetal. And the others nodded in agreement.

"Guys...... Come down.... There will be no birthday...... You know how I hate it. " Arnav said bursting the bubble.

"What the!..... What do you mean by no birthday!. "
Khushi said in anger as she was looking forward to celebrating his first birthday with him since they met. Arnav was about to retort when one angry glare by a teared up Khushi stopped him. "Here I was looking forward to celebrating your first birthday since we met and you don't want to...... Fine. "

Arnav felt bad for only thinking his birthday was about himself and for opening his big mouth. He moved closer to a now crying Khushi and pulled her into a hug.

"Am sorry Khushi...... Please stop crying..... (Khushi shook her head in disagreement.)  Okay we will celebrate my birthday. "

"Are you sure. " Khushi asked and Arnav nodded and hugged her again making all of them go awe.

"Okay..... Enough you two.... We have to go home it getting late. " Durga said

They moved out taking the other exit to avoid the paparazzi. On their way out Khushi got a call from an unknown number and answered it but the reception was bad so she moved away from them to receive it not knowing it was a planned thing. Sheetal who happened to look up saw the chandelier above Khushi was about to fall on her and run over to push her out of the way shouting.

"Khushi bhabiiiiiiiii. "

And before anyone could realise what was going on both women fell on the floor, both covered in blood with the chandelier glass scattered everywhere.

The impact caused everyone to fall on the ground. The all rose up to find Khushi and Sheetal unconscious and covered in blood. Arnav rushed over to Khushi as Aman also rushed to Sheetal.

"Khushi please wake up. " A crying Arnav said while tapping her cheeks and vigorously shaking her but he got no response and so did Aman do the same with Sheetal.

"Bhai.... Aman .... We have to take them to the hospital. " Akash said and they all rushed to the parking lot and place the ladies in different cars. Durga drove Arnav and Khushi while NK drove Aman and Sheetal in other car with Karan, Akash and Payal trailing behind.

Immediately they got to they got to the hospital, both women where taken to the OR. Leaving behind a broken family and friends.
