Next day..

Arnav took his bag and walked to Khushi, dropping a kiss on her forehead, he whispered: Take care..

"Arnav ji don't be upset.. I don't like to see my Laad governor like this.." Khushi said and kissed his cheek.

"Hmm.. I'm just not feeling good today.." Arnav said. He doesn't know why but his heart was telling him something wrong is going to happen.

"Don't worry.. If it's about Di, then I'm sure after being caught yesterday.. she realized her mistakes and going to ask forgiveness soon.." Khushi said, "And Sheetal is already leaving today.. so no problem now.. everything is going to be alright!"

"Nothing is going to be alright Khushi.. my relationship with Di will never be the same again!" Arnav said sadly and went from there.

***************************************************************************
Sheetal found Khushi alone at kitchen and thought to implement their plan. Anjali showed thumbs up to her and signaled her to go ahead.

"Khushi.." Sheetal called her, walking towards Khushi with the DNA reports clutched to her hand.

"Haan Sheetal bolo.." Khushi looked at her, "Haven't you left yet? Arnav ji said to make sure he doesn't get to see your face when he comes back from office!"

"Actually Khushi I really didn't want to tell you this but now I'm helpless too.. I've to share this with you and I hope you will find solution to my problem.." Sheetal forcing tears to come out of her eyes.

"Till yesterday you were hell bent on proving that I'm an illiterate who knows nothing about modern life and now you want me to find solution to your problem, wah Sheetal?" Khushi smiled sarcastically.

"It's nothing like that Khushi.. actually I want to tell you that there's a reason why I stayed back here for such a long time.. and here's the reason!" Sheetal hand over the reports to Khushi.

"Papers? Sheetal ji you stayed one month here so that you could steal papers from Arnav ji's study?" Khushi giggled.

Sheetal rolled her eyes then nodded sideways to Khushi, "Read it.. it's ASR and Aarav DNA test reports.. And it's positive Khushi!"

Khushi widened her eyes, "What?"

"Haan Khushi.. Aarav is ASR's son!" Sheetal said sobbing, "I'm really sorry.. I didn't want to say this but you see Aarav is growing up and he is asking for his father everytime.. How can I lie to him? I really didn't want to spoil your married life.. but a mother can do everything for her child!"

"But how come? Arnav ji said you.. both never shared that type of relationship.." Khushi whispered staring again at the DNA reports.

"I know but.. on a party ASR and I attended with his friends, he got drunk and I took him to bed to make him rest, then we both got close and.." Sheetal said dramatically spilling more tears.

"What now?" Khushi asked.

"I'm sorry to plead you this.. but I really beg you to leave ASR and let Aarav get father's love.. I know I'm being selfish, but I'm a mother.. You can get another husband for yourself.. but Aarav only has ASR as his father.. I agree me and ASR did a mistake but we can't punish that little kid, right? Please Khushi let them be a happy family, don't spoil Aarav's future.. don't make him fatherless.." Sheetal said.

"Sheetal don't cry please.. Do you need tissue?" Khushi patted Sheetal's shoulder, then raised the reports to Sheetal's face, "Or do you want to use these papers as tissue? Because like tissue, we can throw away these useless papers after using on dustbin!"

Sheetal looked shocked at Khushi, "Throw away?"

Khushi glared at Sheetal and slapped her hard on her cheek, "Yes throw away like I'm going to throw you out of my house now!"

"What do you think I'm fool?" Khushi shouted angrily, "You will shed some crocodile tears and I will believe in your cooked up story.. I'm so sorry to say Sheetal, you can't even be a master chef to cook food let alone stories!"

"First of all, my husband already cleared to me about the Relationship he shared with you in past.. so don't you think I will believe You over my Husband!" Khushi pointed her index finger to Sheetal.

"But ASR doesn't remember anything Khushi.. he was drunk that day!" Sheetal cried.

Khushi slapped her again making Sheetal gasp in shock and held her cheek.

"Shut up! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Khushi gritted her teeth making Sheetal gulp and looking behind Anjali who was watching the scene seeking for help. Anjali signaled her to continue the drama till she convinces Khushi.

"And second thing, by making Aarav behave exactly like Arnav ji doesn't make him Arnav ji's son! Anyone can do that, Sheetal Kapoor!" Khushi said.

"But DNA reports.." Sheetal pointed to the reports whispering.

"You love my slaps, right?" Khushi smirked crossing her arms.

Sheetal nodded sideways frightened.

"Then keep you mouth shut when I'm talking!" Khushi said strictly making Sheetal and Anjali for a while think they're seeing ASR here.

"These fake reports are nothing to me, I want Aarav's birth certificate!" Khushi said.

Sheetal widened her eyes.

"What happened? Why are you shocked?" Khushi asked walking around Sheetal, "Who knows when we check his birth certificate, we get to know that neither  Arnav ji is his father nor you're his mother!"

Sheetal look here and there nervous.

"What happened? Cat got your tongue?" Khushi asked mockingly.

"You know the time you wasted in thinking about your next move to separate me and Arnav ji, I didn't even had to waste mine to get your truth!" Khushi smirked, "Today morning I was passing by your so called son's room and I overhead him saying that he's an orphan and he's very happy that he got a new mother and soon will get his father too!"

Sheetal cursed Aarav for speaking the truth loudly, she looked away frustrated and prepared herself to teach that little boy a lesson for spoiling all her plans.

"So Sheetal Kapoor do you have anything to say in your defense now?" Khushi asked smiling proudly of herself as she leaned on the kitchen counter folding her arms, "You can speak up now, I won't slap you!"

Sheetal opened her mouth to speak, but Khushi cut her off, "I will directly kick you out of here now!"

Sheetal immediately silenced with her heart beating loudly scared of this Khushi's form.

Khushi was about to shout for guards to kick Sheetal out of Shantivan, but couldn't as someone hit on her head with something heavy making her lose her consciousness.

Sheetal almost screamed in fear seeing Khushi falling on floor. But Anjali rushed to her and closed her mouth with her palms, "Shhh.. Don't shout Sheetal.. Calm down!"

"Di what you did to her?" Sheetal removed Anjali's palm from her mouth and cried still in shock. 

"So what if she got to know about your truth? We can still separate her from Chote.." Anjali said, "Now we will take her and keep her in a place where she cannot reach to Chote, then we will say to Chote that once she found the truth about Aarav being his son, she decided to leave him for you and Aarav.. then Chote will hate her for doing so, and will marry you and accept Aarav as his son.. And he will love me as he used to.."

Anjali smiled satisfied with her plan.

"Di this is not right.. this is a crime, right? We're kidnapping Khushi!" Sheetal said trembling.

"Shut up.. speak slowly.. if anyone hears this, we both will land in jail.." Anjali slapped Sheetal's arms angrily, "Help me drag her body out of Shantivan fast.."

"YOU WILL LAND IN JAIL ONLY!" both Sheetal and Anjali stopped on their track as they heard the roar of the lion approaching them.

Both looked up to see a furious Arnav rushed to Khushi, he lifted her in his arms and stare at his Khushi lifelessly on his arms with tears falling from his red eyes. He looked angrily at Sheetal And Anjali, "You both will badly for this!"

"Chote what happened?" Nani rushed to them along with the family.

"Bhai.. What happened to Khushi? Did she faint?" Akash asked worriedly.

"I need to take her to hospital.." Arnav said and walked away from there rushing to hospital. Akash and Payal followed him worriedly.

Nani looked at Sheetal and Anjali, "Are you both behind this?  Is Khushi bitiya in that state because of you both?"

Anjali cried as she rushed to Nani, and told her everything.

Nani gasped in shock hearing what Anjali is capable to do to get Arnav's love, she slapped Anjali hardly, "Have you gone mad? You're hell bent on destroying your brother's life and what you wanted to do today is a crime Anjali.. Open your eyes.. What are you doing? You're spoiling your life..  This jealousy will end up destroying you.."

****************************************************************************
At City hospital..

Arnav walking here and there in hospital corridor worriedly as Khushi was in hospital room being checked and treated by doctors.

Payal walked to him, "Arnav ji please calm down.. Khushi will be fine.."

"What calm down? I shouldn't have left her alone.. I knew it something wrong was going to happen.. my heart was telling me already, that's why I took a U turn on my way and came back home to see Khushi.. And I was right.. imagine if I didn't come at that time, then Di would have taken her away from me.. God knows what would they have done to her.. I swear if something happens with my Khushi, I'm not gonna spare both of them!" Arnav punched the wall angrily.

He walked to peek at Khushi through the glass door, leaving Payal and Akash stare at him with pity look. 

"Please be fine.. You know I can't live without you.. I love you dammit.. don't do this to me.. don't leave me.. please be fine soon.. I love you.. I don't know how to live without you now.. Ma ki tarah mujhe chor ke maat jao Khushi (Don't leave me like Ma, Khushi)" he bit his trembling lips trying to control his tears, but failed miserably showing his vulnerable side by crying like a baby.

Akash and Payal rushed to him, and kept consoling him till doctor walked out of the room.

Arnav rushed to the doctor, "What happened to my wife? Is she alright?"

"Yes, she's out of danger ASR.. Don't worry.. she will gain consciousness after sometime.. I've prescribed some meds, make sure she have her meals and meds by the right time.." Doctor patted Arnav's shoulder lightly and left from there.

Arnav sighed in relief. His heart found it's life again, his eyes shine in happiness by knowing that Khushi is fine.

"Thank God Khushi is fine.." Payal mumbled having tears of happiness in her eyes. Akash side hugged her, then looked at Arnav: Bhai what really happened?

Arnav's eyes darkened again remembering what happened recently, he immediately took his phone and called up a friend police officer, "Karan.. I want you arrest Anjali Singh Raizada and Sheetal Kapoor in attempt to kidnap my wife!"

Akash and Payal gasped shocked.

****************************************************************************
Later.. At night
He walked inside the room and sat beside his Khushi lying lifelessly on bed, he kissed her forehead lightly: I'm sorry for not being there for you.. I'm really sorry.. If today you're in hospital like this, then it's only because of me.. I'm not a good husband..  I never saved you when Shyam tortured you, I was never there with you when Di and Sheetal humiliated and insulted you and today.. if something happened with you, then I would have never forgive myself..

He buried his face on her neck sobbing like a baby.

Khushi opened her eyes lightly after hearing his talk, she knew he wouldn't speak like this if she was conscious, "Why are you talking like me? These emotional speech doesn't suit you Arnav ji.."

Arnav looked up at her, his lips curved into a big smile and cupped her face, "You're awake?!"

Khushi nodded her head, Arnav started showering her face with countless kisses. Khushi smiled enjoying being pampered by her Laad governor, but remembering what happened in morning, she turned serious, "Arnav ji.. Sheetal.. someone hit on my head.."

"It was Di.." Arnav said, "Both are where they deserve to be!"

"Where?" Khushi asked. She knew Arnav wouldn't spare those who hurt her.

"You don't worry.. She will have a great time with her husband, isn't that what she always wanted?" Arnav said caressing her cheek as he knew Khushi would get hyper on knowing that he sent Anjali to jail.

"What? Arnav ji are you mad? How can you send Di to jail? What will our family members say?" Khushi freaked out and tried to sit on bed.

Arnav helped her to sit, "Shh.. be calm! What would have I done then? She tried to kidnap you dammit to keep you away from me.. I wonder what would have she done to you if I didn't come at that time.. How disgustingly I saw her and Sheetal trying to drag your body out of there.. She was turning into a criminal Khushi.. I couldn't forgive her this time, believe me.. this is for her betterment also, if she stays in jail then she might open her eyes and realize the sin she did.. Sheetal too is in jail and I sent Aarav back to his NGO also.."

Khushi nodded understanding what he said, "But you were going to office that time, right? How did you save me Arnav ji?"

"I told you in morning I wasn't feeling good.. while I was driving, don't know why I was restless.. So I drive back home to check if you're fine or not.. Then only I saw Di and Sheetal talking how they planed to take you away from me and then lie that you left me because you got to know the truth that I'm Aarav's father.." Arnav said.

Khushi hugged him tightly, "Aaj tumse kuch bolne ka maan kar raha hai (Today I feel like telling you something)"

"Kya? (What?)" Arnav asked hugging her back.

"Ke main aapse bohot pyaar karti hoon DAMMIT (That I love you a lot dammit)" Khushi said shyly.

"I love you too dammit!" Arnav said burying his face on her hair inhaling her vanilla scent.

"Hindi main bolo na Arnav ji (Say it in Hindi)" Khushi whined.

"Khushi love is love in all the languages ok?" Arnav said sarcastically.

Khushi pouted, but stopped herself from replying when the family came inside the room.

"Khushi bitiya how are you feeling now?" Nani asked smiling at her.

"Better.. just headache!" Khushi said.

"Hello hi bye bye.. Neverwa will say she izz fine.. as she wants attentionwa from all of uz.." Mami said sarcastically.

"Ma.." Akash signaled her to keep quiet.

"Should I hit on your head with a vase Mami then you will tell me how you feel?" Khushi asked sarcastically.

"Idea bura nahin hai Khushi (It's not a bad idea Khushi)" Arnav said glaring at Mami.

Mami widened her eyes, then nodded sideways faking a chuckle, "Hello hi bye bye.. Not take seriouswa my words.. Just joking, kidding, LOL!"

"Khushi bitiya I want to apologize you for accusing you without hearing your side of the story, also for the pain, humiliation and insults you had to bear all these days from Anjali bitiya.. Arnav bitwa you were right, we all pampered Anjali bitiya too much that today she didn't mind to commit a crime to get what she wanted.. we all made her a weak woman.. If not pampered her for being handicapped, and encouraged her to work and stand on herself.. If we didn't pamper her, and encouraged her to accept the reality that she lost her baby,  if we didn't pamper her and showed to her that she did good in losing Shyam as he was not worth her.. If only we showed her that despite all the disaster that happened in her life, she could still stand and move on in her life, she could be independent and successful in her life like you (Arnav), then things would be different today.." Nani said with moist eyes.

Arnav nodded his head numbly, while Khushi forgave Nani. Payal hugged Khushi tightly.

****************************************************************************
Police station..

Anjali was staring at Shyam, who looked at her faking a smile then thought cryingly, "I had found peace from her pooja and tears all day, now you sent her again to me God.. Why her? Why not Khushi?"

"Do you still love Khushi?" Anjali asked with low tone.

Sheetal rolled her eyes, "Great. Now I've to be a Kabab main haddi between two criminals! Where have you landed yourself Sheetal? Why did you even became this much greedy?"

Shyam nodded sideways, then eyed smirking at Sheetal, "Now I've my eyes on someone else!"

Anjali looked confused, but then followed his gaze and widen her eyes in shock, she disgustingly looked back at him, "Everyone was right.. I don't deserve a filthy man like you still I fought for my family for you!"

"Don't start your drama Anjali.. Here we're no husband and wife, so spare me from your lecture!" Shyam rolled his eyes.

****************************************************************************

Four years later..

"Daddy.." Aashi jumped on bed to reach her father's height but still couldn't. Arnav picked her up in his arms and the little pecked his cheek, "Goo molning Daddy!"

"Good morning my Princess.." Arnav kissed her back on her chubby cheeks.

Khushi walked out of bathroom and found her two lifelines, she smiled seeing them together and walked towards them pinching her daughter's cheek, "Good morning my Gudiya (Doll)"

"Goo molning Amma!" Aashi smiled.

"Now let's quickly make Aashi bath, and so that my baby eats her breakfast na?" Khushi asked in sweet tone making Aashi nod obediently.

Khushi went to take Aashi clothes, and Arnav helped her keeping Aashi on bed. He took Aashi's towel and other things necessary for her bathing.

Khushi picked up Aashi from bed, taking her to bathroom, Arnav cried: Khushi!!!!!!

"What?" Khushi looked back at him confused.

"Do din se mujhe Rasgullu nahin mila hai (I've not get my kisses from two days)" Arnav reminded her.

Khushi blushed, "You're getting late to office!"

Arnav groaned frustrated.

"Daddy!" Aashi called out confused, "You can't eat shweet.. why you alwaysh ashk lashgullu to Amma then?"

Arnav cleared his throat, and Khushi raised her eyebrow smiling at Arnav, "Explain to your daughter now Arnav ji.."

"Because Rasgullu is a sweet especially For Daddy.. Only Daddy can have it.." Arnav said.

"Leally?" Aashi widened her eyes.

Arnav nodded.

"Can't you give me shome?" Aashi extended her tiny hands pleading her father.

"It's with your mother.." Arnav smirked to Khushi, "Now I'm getting late to office.."

He kissed Aashi's cheek, "Bye my princess..", then Khushi's cheek, "Bye my love.."

Khushi and Aashi kissed his cheek on both sides, "Bye Daddy/Bye my Jaan (life)"

Arnav smiled and went from there. Aashi looked at her mother with big cute chocolate brown eyes like her father and extended her hand pleading her mother, "Amma pleash give me Lashgullu! Daddy said it'sh with you!"

Khushi looked at her daughter, now what would she explain that Rasgullu means kiss for her father? 

"Amma will make jalebis for you.. leave this Rasgullu ok?" Khushi said taking her daughter to bathroom.

****************************************************************

Later..

"Khushi bitiya make rasgulla for me please.." Nani said.

Khushi gasped hearing this, she quickly nodded and went to kitchen.

Arnav returned from office, he went to kitchen in search of his wife and found Khushi thinking.

"Where are you lost?" Arnav asked waving at her.

"That because of you.." she slapped his arms, "I think everyone wants kisses from me!"

"What? Who want kiss from you?" Arnav asked angrily in jealousy.

"Nahin.. voh Nani asked me to make rasgulla for her and I thought she wanted me to kiss her.." Khushi said.

Arnav looked at her for a while then burst out laughing.

Khushi glared at him, then end up laughing at herself.

Arnav pulled her closer to him, "This is just our secret.. no one will know what Rasgullu means!"

"Accha?" Khushi smiled. Arnav nodded and lean to seal his lips with her when Mami shouted, "How much time to make rasgulla?! I'm very hungry!"

Arnav and Khushi looked at each other, then laughed again.

The End!
