"Anya" NK shouted and ran towards her, but the auto rickshaw started moving. Nk couldn't ran fast as he was already drunk. He fell on the floor and kept looking at the auto rickshaw going away from him. He gets up and looked around. He moved to the spot where she was standing. He reached in front of a super market. Nk entered inside and asked them about the her. They ignored him as he were drunk. Nk saw the CCTV there and asked for the footage. They tried to push him out which slowly end up in a fight and police took him to station.

Arnav got a call from the police station and reached there with his lawyer.
He saw nk in the lockup, beaten up with red patches on his body. His lawyer bailed him out.
"Sir, Isn't it a crime to beaten up a person in the lockup???" Arnav asked fisting his hand.
"No...Mr raizada..we didn't touch him at all... That supermarket guys did this..."
"Mr.Roy... File a complaint against that guys..." Arnav ordered his lawyer.
"Nannav... that's ok... It was entirely my fault. Please dont do thty."
Arnav nodded his head and took nk to the hospital.
Nk tried to talk to Arnav, but he intentionally ignored him. They reached shantivan, Arvind rushed near to them.
"Nk beta... What happened to you???"
Arvind asked seeing him with stitches and bruises.
"Papa... There will be only a reason...bar fights. Nk... I though you won't trouble us with your damn issues...but still you did...Why are you doing this?? We loved you and is this how you behave? We are trying our best to help you and all you care about is fighting. There is no difference between you and your father. He hurt his loved ones and you are also doing that" Arnav shouted at NK and went to his room.
After a few minutes, he came out getting ready.
"Papa...I'm going to office...I will be late...take care of yourself." Saying this he went out ignoring nk...
Nk was hurt by Arnav's words...especially when Arnav comparing him to his father. Nk slammed down crying as he thought about it.
"Nk beta...dont cry... Dont take his words seriously" Arvind was also shocked to see Arnav blasting at NK
Nk looked at arvind and held his hands.
"I'm not like him chote papa... I can never be like him..."
"We knw that NK..." He said everything in anger
"I won't even think about hurting both of you... I really like both of you a lot..." NK said and Arvind hugged him
"I know that beta... Tell me why did you get into fight..."
Nk told him everything
"Dont worry...we will find your Lavanya..."
"I just want to know how she is... That will give me some peace of mind."
"Dont worry about it...we are with you...you are not alone in this..."
Nk hugged arvind...
"You should rest now nk...come..." Arvind took him to the room and made him sleep.
Arnav was hell angry on nk, when khushi called him he told her everything. She scolded arnav for saying all those things to nk and asked him to talk it out with NK.
Arnav returned home and saw Arvind sitting on the hall.
"Beta..I want to talk to you...come with me" Arvind took arnav to his room and told him everything
Arnav was feeling guilty for saying all those things to NK.
"What have i done papa? I was angry at him for staking his life like that...I shouldn't have talked to him like that."
"Beta...go and talk to him...apologize to him... He need us now..."
Arnav went to guest room and found nk in deep thought.
"Nk..." Arnav called him standing in front of the door
"Nannav come inside...it is your house after all. Why are you asking for permission?" Arnav sat next to NK on the bed.
"How is your wound? Is it paining?"
"No...no pain from the wound..."
"Nk...I'm sorry for saying all those things to you... Whatever reason it was, I shouldn't have said something like that. I know I hurt you a lot with my words...You are my brother nk...and it hurt me to see you in pain... You are putting your life at stake and I was angry on you for that... that's why I ignored you all these days." He paused for a moment and continued.
"I already lost my mom... And I don't want to loss anyone like that... I'm sorry for everything nk" Nk was overwhelmed with Arnav's confession.
"You are my big brother and I can understand what you have gone through... I didn't meant to get into a fight..."
"I know nk...papa told me...we arer with you.. Dont worry..."
"Nannav... I want to stop all these... I don't want her to see me like this... Today I understood what I have become... I want to stop these nannav but I dont know what to do...."
"I think I know what to do... But will you try that?" Arnav asked NK
"I will do anything to stop this alcohol addiction."
"Then get ready tomorrow morning... We are going to a de-addiction center...that's will remove your addiction."
"Nannav...thanks for being there for me...."
"We will be always there for you and one more thing, you are not like your father and you never will be." Arnav hugged nk....
"You take rest...I'm going now...bye...good night."
Before going for the bed Arnav called Khushi and told her that he talked with NK and thanked her for helping him out.
He also told arvind about his decision to send NK to a de-addiction centre.
Next day, Arnav and Arvind dropped NK in the de-addiction centre. He have to stay there for a month for complete recovery. They promised him that they will visit him and went from there.
Arnav called Anjali and arranged an old pic of Lavanya, with his connection he got the CCTV footage from the shop, but she wasn't there. He collected info about Lavanya from NK's friend while Akash and Anjali helped him. He assigned a private detective to find about Lavanya.
Days passed.... Nk completed the de-addiction program a week before Arshi's marriage

An official engagement is conducted with the present of their family members.
Arnav got her a ring with an inscription 'My Forever' which made her burst into tears.

Finally the pre wedding ceremonies started.

For her Mehandi Arnav send her a light weighted dress with thread work which won't show of her stretch marks. Khushi loved the dress, only ladies were permitted to attend the function which is held at khushi house. Anjali, Renjini, Nani and Payal went to khushi's house for the ritual. Arnav called Khushi a thousand times and all the time Anjali attended the call. Finally they put mehandi on her hands and moved to her legs. Few of khushi's friend, Payal and Anjali were there with her when arnav called Khushi. Anjali took the phone and smirked at khushi.
"Di, I know what is going through your mind. Please don't do that."
"I'm so sorry soon to be bhabhi, you have to play along with us." Saying this Anjali put the call on speaker.
"Hello arnav... why did you call me now... I'm busy...will talk to you later." Khushi tried to show disinterest.
"Khushi... I know that you are sitting there idle while they put the mehandi on your hands. Now tell me, did you wrote my name on on your hands?"
"Yeah... I did Arnav."
"I called you earlier too..but di attended it and teased me... Glad that you took the phone. I dont know if jeeju had some hanky phanky when they got married." Anjali's eyes got popped out while Khushi blushed at his comment.
"Arnav... I have to go now."
"Khushi why are you in a rush... Is di trying to get the phone from you?? She can be such a tease."
"Arnav don't talk about di like that." Khushi warned him.
"Yeah... That's true...in fact we shouldn't talk about anyone now...You know I can't be with you today...so don't you think that we should compensate it...?" He asked huskily
"No...no...I mean its just a day...we will be meeting tomorrow."
"Why are you shying now? other wise you are the bold one who pounce on me."
"The phone is on the speaker arnav..." Khushi shouted suddenly.
"What the???? Ohhh...no...di...you are too much." Arnav complained
"So Arnav... You want compensation? And payal did you hear that...our innocent khushi is not that innocent when she is with her Arnav." Anjali teased both of them. Khushi was overloaded with shyness.
"Di...I think papa is calling me...bye." Saying this Arnav ended the call.

At night khushi kept looking at her mehandi which turned into a deep red colour. She decided to call Arnav.
"Arnav, Because of you they all teased me a lot."
"I didn't lie about anything..."
"You did...you told them tht I'm bold."
"Aren't you bold? A week ago youu literally ruined my lips... And remeber that love bite on my neck...all of them were the proof of your boldness. I dont know what will happen to me after our marriage." Arnav teased her which made her to blush.

"But you also did the same with me..."
"In tht case... We both are bold baby."
They smiled and kept silence for a moment.
"I love you Khushi"
"I love you too Arnav"
"I can't wait to start my life with you....
"Just a day more...after that we will be together forever."
"Forever...it is" Arnav promised her

Next day....
The Sangeet is conducted in Shantivan.
After two years, NK danced for the first time along with Naniji. Everyone had tears seeing NK being jovial. Then comes Khush with his friends, he brought arvind to stage and danced together.
"Uncle...you danced well..." Khushi complement Arvind and he gave her a angry glare.
"Sorry...papa...you danced well." Khushi corrected her sentence.
After the unofficial engagement on his birthday... Arvind asked Khushi to call him as 'Papa'. Not only Khushi, Arnav too got another Papa and Amma in Shashi and Garima. If Khushi is arvind's favourite, Arnav is Gupta's favourite.
Khushi's friends too performed in their Sangeet. Nani-nana, Shashi-Garima, Anjali-Shyam and Akash- Payal had a couple dance. Nana-nani's pair blown away everyone's expectation. Nana was in fact living instead of dancing, he performed so well with Nani.
Shashi danced with a very shy Garima.
Shyam and Anjali had a nice dance together. Payal was not good with dancing but she and akash pulled off a wonderful act.

The sangeet was anchored by Shyam and Anjali.
"Now we have a special performance by a special person dedicated to another special person." Anjali said to the limited audience consist of their immediate family and friends.
"Be ready for the fantastic performance everyone." Shyam announced and the whole hall went dark.

nachaayenge, nachaayenge

will make dance, will make dance

One by one the dancers turned around and at last Khushi turned around. She worn a long skirt and top.

latoo latoo latoo main usape latoo

fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, i fall in love with him

latoo latoo latoo main, aye la la aye la la aye la

fall in love, fall in love, i fall in love

They all started dancing together for a step while Khushi's gaze met Arnav's.

palak kyun phadke re, dil kyun dhadake re

why my eyelid is twinkling, why my heart is beating
Khushi danced and placed her hand on her chest, acting like something is happening to her heart.

thirak si jaau re, kyun main sharamaau re

i am quivering, why i am shying
She showed shyness and asked her dance gang what happened to her.

aaj yeh kaun aaya, khushbuon saa chhaaya

who is this came today, and spread like a fragrance
She looked around placing her hand above her eyebrows.

chaal mein ghungaru hai, mausam hai oh oh oh oh

there are bells in my walk, there is a atmosphere

yaar, yaar yaar, yaar aaya mera yaar yaar - (2)

lover lover lover... my lover has come

latoo latoo latoo main usape latoo - (2)

fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, i fall in love with him

yaar yaar, (yaar, yaar yaar, yaar aaya mera yaar yaar -2)

lover lover lover... my lover has come

She danced along with the team.

usake aane se bas jaaye, sune sune mann ka ilaaka, nachaayenge

with his arrival, the space of my lonely heart fills, will make dance

Some of the dancers worn mask of Arnav's face and Khushi acted like fainting seeing them.

woh bas kar de ishaara, aur main bolu jo hukm ho aaqa, nachaayenge

if he give some sign, I will say "whatever your wish my lord"

She placed her hand on her heart as the Arnav masked dancers signalled her to come closer.

The song changed to another one.

Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Tune aa ke bin kiraaye ye jagah li
Kuchh keh bhi na saki, ye kaisi bebasi
Yoon chupke chupke aaya bin bulaaya mehmaan
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi

Ah, there was a little empty space in my heart,
You came and occupied this space without any rent,
I couldn't say anything, how is this helplessness..
Thus silently came an uninvited guest.

Hum ko na khabar kab kaise aaya wo.. O o, O o..
Dil se khus-phus kya farmaaya wo.. O o, O o..

I don't know when and how did he come..
(and) what he talked to the heart when whispering..

Then the light went off and came back after some time.

Khushi stood there in Madhuri’s avatar in HAHK and started singing ‘Bhai tera jeeju deewana’ and mocked Arnav's habits playfully.

Khushi was getting compliments from everybody when she heard a song ...and found Arnav on the stage.

Behka Main Behka, Woh Behki Hawa Si Aai
I'm intoxicated, she comes like the intoxicating breeze
Ek Hi Nazar Mein Sab Manzil Wanzil Paayi
In just a glance, I found my destination
Hatke Alag Si Thi Bilkul Juda Si
She was different from everyone else, completely unique
Na Hi Adaayein Na Koi Angdai
No tantrums nor any pride

Behka Behka Main Behka Behka
I'm intoxicated
Mehka Mehka Yeh Mann Hai Mehka
This heart of mine has become fragranced

Behka Main Behka, Woh Behki Hawa Si Aai
I'm intoxicated, she comes like the intoxicating breeze
Ek Hi Nazar Mein Sab Manzil Wanzil Paayi
In just a glance, I found my destination

The tune changed to another song.

Hey Ya... (x2)
Hey Ya... Heeriye Sehra Baandh Ke Main Toh Aaya Re
O Heeriye (My love)! I have come wearing the sehra
(A head-dress worn by the groom before his wedding)
(Referring to Heer-Raanjha, a famous romantic couple in Indian History, similar to Romeo-Juliet)
Hey Ya.. Doli Baarat Bhi Saath Mein Main Toh Laaya Re
I've come bringing with me a wedding palanquin and a procession
Hey Ya... Heeriye Sehra Baandh Ke Main Toh Aaya Re
O Heer! I have come wearing the sehra
Hey Ya... Doli Baarat Bhi Saath Mein Main Toh Laaya Re
I've come bringing with me a wedding palanquin and a procession
Ab Toh No Hota Hai Ek Roz Intezaar Soni
Now, I can't wait for even a single day more, my love
Aaj Nahi Toh Kal Hai Tujhko Toh Bas Meri Honi Re
Either today or tomorrow, You are going to be mine
Tenu Leke Main Javanga, Dil Deke Main Javanga (x2)
I'm going to take You away and I'm going to give You my heart

Arnav danced with the crew making her lips stretch into a wide smile.

Guzare Jahan Se Woh Raunak Udaaye
From wherever she passes by, she spreads beauty
Chhalke Nadi Si Woh Mujhko Bhigoti Jaaye
Like a splashing river, she makes me drenched
Woh Gun Gunaaye Nageene Lutaaye
She hums letting her jewelled voice get robbed

They set up an office background and Arnav acted while the dancers danced behind him.

Arnav sitting in a meeting when he smiles seeing her message, making the others get shocked.

They way his employees get fainted seeing him laughing while on a call.

Khatta Sa Bachpan Meethi Shararat
She has a sour childhood with a sweet mischief

Thoda Resham Hai Thodi Nazakat
She's a bit silky and has a bit of delicacy (grace)

Kabhi Sharmaye Kabhi Lehraye
Sometimes she is bashful, sometimes she is flowing

Us Mein Saahil Hai Aur Jaane Kitni Gehrai
There's an ocean inside of her, no one knows it's depth

He flipped his hand in air as the screen behind him projected her pictures one by one.

Behka Main Behka, Woh Behki Hawa Si Aai
I'm intoxicated, she comes like the intoxicating breeze
Ek Hi Nazar Mein Sab Manzil Wanzil Paayi
In just a glance, I found my destination
Hatke Alag Si Thi Bilkul Juda Si
She was different from everyone else, completely unique
Na Hi Adaayein Na Koi Angdai
No tantrums nor any pride

Behka Behka Main Behka Behka
I'm intoxicated
Mehka Mehka Yeh Mann Hai Mehka
This heart of mine has become fragranced

Uski Boli Jaise Phoolon Ki Toli
Her talks are like the procession of flowers
Uska Chalna Rituein Badalna
Her walk is like the change of seasons
Jhooth Bhi Uske Sachche Lagey Achchhe Lagey Sach Se Bhi Bade Lagey
Her lies also seem the truth, and even bigger than truths

Arnav sat on the chair facing the audience and a Payal sat opposite to him acting as Khushi. Payal enacted Khushi's mannerisms very well.

Raahon Mein Uski Haath Baandhe Palke Bichaaye Hue Sar Ko Jhukaye
In her roads, keeping the hands tied and the head lowered
Hue Khushbuon Se Chaaye Hue Taktaki Lagaye
A fragrance is spread and a watch is kept
Hue Saath Saath Jaane Kitne Saare Mausam Khade Rahein
By all the seasons that are standing besides one another

He shook his head as he found her everywhere like a mad man. He joined the group and danced with them.

Behka Main O Behka Behka Main (x6)
I'm intoxicated

The song changed to another one.

Haan... Dekho To Bholi Kitni
Look how innocent is she
Utni Par Dedhi Cheez Hai
But she’s as cunning as she seems innocent
Baatein Kare Hai Kadwi Kadwi
She talks bitter
Phir Bhi Lazeez Hai
Still she is so sweet
Ittar Gulaabon Waali
Like a rose flavoured perfume
Botal Sharabon Waali
Like a bottle of alcohol
Total Tabaahi Wala Scene Hai
She’s like a scene of total destruction

Arnav mocked Khushi through this dance making her eyes get wide open.

Adaayein Badi Funky
He style is very funky
Kare Hai Nautanki
She is an incorrigible dramatist
Yeh Chhori Badi Drama Queen Hai
This girl is a drama queen
Ho Badi Badi Aankhein Hain Aansuon Ki Tanki
She has big eyes and she’s like a well (bore-well) of tears
Yeh Chhori Badi Drama Queen Hai
This girl is a drama queen

Khushi pouted at him and in return he winked at her. Khushi never imagined that arnav will dance for her. Arnav came near to her and in happiness she hugged him tight. Both of them came back to earth when they heard murmurings. Khushi was extremely shy to look at other's face after that.

Khushi is changing her dress when she sense someone entering the room and thought that it will be payal.
“Payal...can you please tie the dori?”
As the dori get tied she felt a series of kisses on her bare back.
“Arnav... you...???” Khushi asked and turned around while Arnav wrapped his arms around her waist.
“You know me very well khushi... What was that line...'laptop se inko kardo sagai'...After our marriage I won't be touching that laptop at all. My every touches will be reserved for you.” He said squeezing her waist.
“Shameless man” Khushi lightly slapped him on chest. Arnav tucked the loose hair strand of Khushi.
“Khushi... By this time tomorrow we will be married”
“Sometimes it feels like a dream Arnav. You and me... Do you feel like that??”
“No, I dont... I know that it is the reality ,which is better than any dream” Arnav said as he hugged her tight.l
“Khushi you have to leave now...before that let me kiss you for the last time.”
“Last time?”
“Yup....last kiss as Khushi Kumari Gupta… The next time when i kiss you...you will be Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada.”
“In that case I should also kiss you now as my bf... Next time you will be my hubby” Khushi sealed her lips with his lips. They parted away after a few minutes.
“I wish I could be there for the haldi, crazy traditions and customs.” Arnav rolled his eyes remember the customs and norms put forward by his Nani and her Nani.

“Now let's go. I can't jeopardize my soon to be  wife's beauty sleep.”
“Arnav... I love you... See you tomorrow in the altar.”
“I will be waiting for you…” Arnav said dropping a kiss on his forehead.

Wedding day,
Khushi got ready in a white saree with floral ornaments. The haldi ceremony is conducted in their respective houses.

“Khush, I'm your di… don't do any mischiefs now.”

“Yup, my only di is getting married. So I should celebrate it.” Saying his Khush smeared haldi all over her face.

“Khush, i will kill you now. Amma, see what your son have done to me.”

“I can't believe that we are marrying off a child woman to that poor Arnav beta. It's your haldi Khushi, so all these things are bound to happen.”

“Aww, look at your face di…” Khush said standing at a distance.

“It's ok Khush, after all it's your di's haldi.” Khushi smiled at him and Khush walked towards her.

Khushi pulled Khush and smeared haldi all over his face.

“Tit for tat my pyaare bhaiii.” Khushi said laughing at Khush's haldi smeared face.

At shantivan... Arvind along with nk applied haldi on Arnav's face like they are playing holi with him. Arnav tried to save himself from all these torture, but he couldn't.

Somehow he managed to escape into his room and video called Khushi.
They laughed seeing each other covered in haldi paste.
“Khushi where are you???”
“Arnav... Can't you see me?? Is there any network problem??”
“I can only see a lot of haldi paste... Yeah... now I found two eyes.” Arnav teased her.
“Arnav... Stop teasing me and I can also say the same thing.”
“You know Khushi... Di told me that this haldi ceremony is conducted so that the bride and groom will glow like a sun...So khushi... Are you glowing??”
“Yeah...I think so”
“Khushi but they only applied haldi on my face, hand and legs... Don't you want my body to glow? Should I apply some haldi on my body too.”
“Arnav....” Khushi whispered
“And you also do that... I do want your whole body to glow.”
“You know what?? You are a shameless man…”
“I can only act shameless in front of you, isn't it??? You can also act shameless in front me...I won't mind that.”
“Yeah .. I know that you won't mind it.”
“Khushi... Don't you think that the time is pacing like a snail.”
“It is Arnav…”
“Khushi... There is only a few hours for our wedding... What do you feel now???” He asked her
“I feel nervous...happy...sad...every emotions in the world....”
“I too feel the same.”
“I'm happy that we will be together... But I have to leave my parents...Papa...Amma... Khush...Nani.”

“Baby, they are just half an hour away from here...you can visit them whenever you want too.”
“Yeah...I know that... Still it won't be the same.At the sametime I'm excited to share my life with you... With papa...and everybody.”
“I can understand... Remember one thing...I will be always there for you...I will not be your husband only, but I will be your friend too. You can talk to me anything Khushi.”
“I know that... And I will be always there for you too.”
“I have to go now Arnav. Bye, See you soon.”
“Love you Khushi... Bye.”
“Love you too Arnav.”
