After a long and tiring day, he's finally back home heading towards his room while loosening his tie on the way. He stopped once he found his Nani holding a bowl on her hand with an angry expression coming on his way.

"What happened Nani? Is Khushi fine?" he asked worriedly rushing towards her.

"Your wife doesn't want to eat.. she made HP prepare Kheer for her and now denying to eat it.." Nani said frowning.

"She must be missing me.. Today I got bit late than usual.." Arnav said taking the bowl from her hand.

"If she was your wife in true senses, then she would have understood that her husband is working. But her mentality is just like a child.. Is this how you plan to spend all your life? Taking care of a child instead of giving me one grandson or granddaughter?" Nani asked.

"Nani Khushi is going to be fine.. I'm very much sure of that.." Arnav glared at her.

"What if she doesn't?" Nani asked.

"Then I will take care of her all my life.." Arnav replied determinedly shocking his Nani.

He went towards his room and opened the door finding his cute baby doll watching TV boringly.

She looked up to him, then back at TV with a frown adorning her beautiful face.

"So someone is angry with me?" he asked smirking and sat on bed with her.

"If not angry, then what you expect me to be? I'm very much angry with me.. Why you leave me alone all day and come back at night only?" Khushi looked at him with crying face.

"I'm sorry .." he held his ear staring at her.

"Don't say sorry.. I know it's that boring Aman uncle who makes you work so much! He always call during night time also to make you work.." Khushi held his hand, shaking her head in no, "Patha nahin kya dushmani hai usko apke sath (I don't know what kind of enmity he has with you)"

Arnav let out a chuckle, if only she knew that it's him who torture Aman and not the other way around.

"Now it's time to eat.." he said bringing the spoon filled with Kheer to her mouth which she happily eat.

"What my Doll did today?" Arnav asked after feeding her and keeping the empty bowl on side table. He made her sit on his lap covering both with blanket.

"I played basketball with NK!" Khushi smiled playing with his heart locket which has her picture.

Arnav nuzzled her cheeks smiling, "Is that so? My princess enjoyed?"

"Yes.. I wish to play basketball with you also.." Khushi pouted, "But you always working!!"

"This Sunday I will play with you ok?" Arnav said staring at her lovingly.

"Okay.." Khushi nodded happily, "You know NK is very good with me, after playing with me, he bought ice cream for me, then we went to watch movies in theater, he bought chocolates, chips, cookies for me.." Khushi shared with him excitedly, "He's my best friend!"

"What am I for you then?" Arnav's expression changed.

"My husband, no?" Khushi asked passing him a confused look.

Arnav smiled and nodded his head.

"Di said that you're my husband, my life time best friend.." Khushi said.

Arnav smiled, his place wasn't stolen by NK still.

She yawned cutely and rested her head on his shoulder. Arnav patted her back gently, whispering sweet nothings to make her sleep.

Thinking of the first day he saw her.. He fell in love with her, but unfortunately didn't got time to confess his feelings to her and she met with an accident and behaving like a 12 year old child now. Since his family is long time friends with her family, the Guptas. He talked with Shashi, her father that he wished to marry Khushi and take care of her. Shashi was at first shocked with his decision, but had then agreed on seeing how much he loves Khushi.

Flashback..

Airport..
"Uncle what are we doing here?" Arnav asked Shashi once they reached airport.

"My daughter is finally coming after six years of studying in New York!" Shashi replied smiling.

"Oh Khushi, right?" Arnav asked boringly, seriously Shashi brought him here to receive his daughter, girls how much he hates them and their over sweetness!

He was busy in making irritating and pissed off faces when his eyes landed on a girl running towards them with a huge innocent child like smile.

"Papa!!" she screamed and hugged him tightly.

"My Angel.." Shashi hugged her tightly with tears in his eyes.

"Wow.." it escaped as a whisper from his mouth staring at the innocent, simple yet so beautiful woman in front of him.

She broke the hug and looked at him, "Who's he Papa? Don't tell me I've a brother and I didn't know about it.."

Arnav coughed badly shocked with her words, while Khushi giggled, "Relax.. I'm just kidding, who doesn't know you? The ASR, right?"

"Yes.." he nodded faking a smile. After giving him biggest shock of calling him her brother, she simply laughs and tell him it's a joke!! Unbelievable!!

"No.. Because I've reached now and I'm the KKG! Papa tell him that I will be more famous than him.." Khushi said smiling.

Arnav raised his eyebrow with little smile on his face at her attitude.

Flashback ends..
Arnav made her lay properly on bed and covered her with blanket kissing her forehead, "Good night Doll.."

****************************************************************************
Morning..

"Good morning.." Khushi shouted and sat on her chair smiling.

"Good morning Khushi.." Anjali smiled.

Akash and Payal too greeted her.

Mami rolled her eyes, "Hello hi bye bye.. Here comes the drama queen!"

"Hello hi bye bye.." Khushi mimicked Mami and everyone laughed at her.

Arnav came out of the kitchen with a plate on his hand smiling at Khushi, "Who wants jalebis?"

Khushi widened her eyes smiling, she ran towards Arnav to get jalebis.

Arnav ran towards the living room laughing at her with the plate on his hand. Khushi pouted and ran behind him, "Please Arnav don't do this.. I want jalebis.."

"Jalebis only for me.. Not you!" Arnav chuckled running away from her.

Khushi stopped running and crossed her arms looking away angry with him.

Arnav walked towards her, "Someone gets angry so easily.. I was just kidding!"

Khushi snatched the plate from his hand giggling, "Me too!"

Arnav looked at her amused.

Anjali eyed to Nani, "Nani see how Chote looks happy with Khushi, if he would married a normal girl maybe we won't be able to see him smiling so openly like this.. This is only because of Khushi.."

Nani was having mixed feelings about this. On one hand, she wanted Arnav to marry a girl who can take care of him and give him happiness and both be blessed with children, and at other hand she too saw how much Khushi changed her grandson.

Khushi sat back on her chair and looked smilingly at Nani showing her plate, "You want jalebis Nani?"

Nani took one jalebis from her plate smiling a bit.

Khushi looked at Arnav who was taking his bag from HP, she pouted sadly: Kya main apke sath office nahin ja sakti hoon? (Can't I go to office with you?)

Arnav nodded smiling at her. Khushi squealed happily, "Yes! You will teach me how to design clothes right Arnav?"

Arnav nodded again.

"Tum sab ke samne main itne chup kyun rehte ho, humare sath to tum hamesha baat karte ho (Why are you so silent in front of others, you always talk when you're with me)" Khushi said raising her brows innocently at Arnav.

Arnav cleared his throat embarrassed with her outburst.

"Really? What Chote talks with you?" Anjali asked teasingly.

"Everything.. what he does in office.. about that boring Aman uncle too.. he talks sweet.."

"Khushi we need to go.. I'm getting late.." Arnav cut her off before she could utter that he talks in a sweet and soft way with her.

Khushi nodded and stood up, rushing to him. She held his hand tightly, "Let's go!"

"I will get to know it Chote!!" Anjali laughed at him.

Arnav dragged Khushi outside running away from the teasing of his family.

"Will you buy ice cream for me?" Khushi asked with pleading cute puppy face.

"You already had ice cream two times this week.. No more ice cream Doll.." Arnav said in scolding care tone.

"I want ice cream.. I want ice cream.. I want ice cream.." Khushi started chanting.

"No Khushi.." Arnav said in serious tone while driving.

"Please.. please.. I want ice cream.. I won't plead you anything else.. I just want ice cream.." Khushi cried.

"You will get sick Khushi. No more ice cream this week.." Arnav said.

"Yes ice cream.." Khushi shouted angrily after hearing no from him.

"Don't shout!" he glanced at her with serious look as if saying for her to not cross her limits.

Khushi gulped frightened, she looked down immediately and sat quiet on her seat. While Arnav was concentrated on his driving.

After few minutes, he heard her sobbing. He turned to her finding her cutely rubbing her eyes trying to control her sobs.

His heart melt and he felt guilty for scolding her too.

He stopped the car and brought a crying Khushi to his lap, he wiped her tears: Shh.. don't cry..

Khushi started crying bitterly, burying her face on his chest.

Arnav hugged her tightly, kissing her hair: I'm so sorry Doll.. shh.. stop crying.. I can't see your tears.. I will buy ice cream for you.. stop crying now..

"You... sc.. scolded me.." she stammered in between her sobs.

"I'm sorry.. but you shouldn't be stubborn too, I'm speaking for your good only.. If you eat ice cream, you will get sick my Doll.." he dropped another kiss on her hair.

"I'm sorry.." Khushi whispered once she composed herself in his arms, she looked up to him with moist eyes, "Are you still angry with me?"

"No.. How can I stay angry with my Doll?" he caressed her cheek.

Khushi smiled a little.

"Let's buy you one ice cream.." he said but Khushi nodded sideways, "Next week!"

****************************************************************************
Another day..

AR..
Arnav was attending a meeting, when his phone didn't stop ringing. He excused himself and went to pick up the call, "Di what happened?"

"Chote Khushi.. Khushi fell from the stairs.." Anjali said in panicking tone.

The phone fell from his hand, he stood numbly for a while resgistering what he just heard.

"Khushi.. His Doll.. no.. nothing should happen with her.." he changed running carelessly to his car.

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

City hospital..

Arnav was walking restlessly and impatiently here and there on hospital corridor waiting for the doctor to finish this operation soon and walk out of this room to tell him Khushi is fine, nothing happened to her. He is just praying nothing serious and grave happens to her.

"Chote keep calm.. She will be fine.." Anjali said patting his shoulder.

He shoved her hand angrily, "I left her with you all thinking that you will guys will take care of my Doll but you guys couldn't even do that.. How did she fell Di? It was because of your carelessness towards her.. How come no one was there to save her? Do you guys even watch over her when I leave for office?"

"Chote we didn't do this purposely.. I was busy with Nani in kitchen.. Mami and Payal weren't at home.. I left Khushi to rest at your room but she just woke up and ran downstairs and accidentally fell off the stairs.." Anjali said sobbing.

Arnav looked away, tears made way to his cheek thinking how much pain did his Doll had to go through. If something happens to her, then he will never forgive himself for that.

"Shh Anjali don't cry.. Chote is not in his senses now.. He's worried for Khushi na, that's why he's speaking like this.." Nani caressed Anjali's back. Anjali nodded her head.

Shashi and Garima reached crying already.

Arnav walked towards Shashi crying, he hugged Shashi tightly, "I'm sorry uncle.. I couldn't save Doll.. I couldn't save her.."

"It's okay Arnav.. You didn't know that this will happen.. Accidents happen in life.. It was destined.. We can only pray now for Khushi to be fine.. Nothing serious happen to her.." Shashi said with tears in his eyes.

Doctor walked out of the room, and everyone rushed to him curiously and worriedly.

"The operation was successful Mr. Raizada.." Doctor patted Arnav's shoulder smiling, "There's nothing to worry about, the situation is under control.. she's still unconscious and have to take proper rest.."

Arnav smiled relieved, his family also sighed in relief.

After sometime, Khushi gained conscious and one person could enter in room to meet her.

The family decided Arnav should go first. So he went inside and looked at his princess on hospital bed with tears in his eyes.

Khushi blinked her eyes slowly, then looked at him confused: Arnav? You here? What happened to me? Why am I in hospital?

"You had an accident Doll.. but now you're fine.." Arnav managed to say wiping away his tears.

"When did you start calling me Doll?" Khushi chuckled staring at him weirdly.

Arnav looked at her shocked, he just now realized that she was behaving normally and not like a child. So she's fine now. But she is behaving strangely with him?!

"I always call you Doll.." he said.

"Is it so? We just met some five times and I don't remember you calling me Doll.." Khushi looked at him confused.

Arnav took two steps back in shock, she doesn't remember anything.. Nor their moments neither their marriage.

The doctor came inside to check up Khushi, but Arnav left from there with moist eyes. He already knew she forgot him, but will he be able to forget her?!

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

Few days later..

Khushi was having breakfast and staring at the Kheer bowl at the table. She gets some flashes where a man is feeding her, then a heart locket image constantly repeats in her mind.

She shut her eyes tightly feeling headache now.

"Khushi are you okay?" Shashi asked worriedly.

"Yes.." Khushi nodded weakly, "Papa is there anything that happened in my life at that time of my mental imbalance state?"

Shashi sighed, even though he wants to tell her the truth that she got married with Arnav, but doctors advised them not to because it would be a shock for Khushi and might risk her health which she is still recovering. But seeing Arnav's miserable state without his Doll, makes his heart weak. He wants to tell her everything.

"Nahin.." Shashi nodded sideways and looked back at his plate.

Khushi nodded her head still not convinced.

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

At KK's company..

Khushi was walking towards her cabin when her eyes landed on Arnav talking with her father and beside him was a woman, clinging to him with a big smile on her face.

Suddenly she felt her heart burning at this scene, why was it hurting her to see Arnav with another woman?

She marched towards them and stood beside her father glaring at the woman, "Hi Arnav.."

"Hi.. Khushi Gupta.. It's a pleasure to meet you, by the way I'm Sheetal Kapoor.. a famous model working for your company, you don't know me yet as you were sick that time I was working here.." Sheetal smiled.

"I don't even want to know about you!" Khushi replied sternly, "And you should give more attention to your work rather than clinging on my man!"

The words just fly from her mouth and she had no control over it.

Arnav and Shashi looked at her shocked. Arnav started smiling slowly and Khushi looked at him angrily, "Why are you smiling so much? Are you enjoying this?"

Shashi and Sheetal quickly left from there before getting scold by the lioness!

"Did you enjoy that woman was clinging to you like this?" she came near him and slapped his arms where Sheetal held him, "Who gave you the right to be near another woman?"

Arnav looked at her surprised. Why was she reacting like this today?

"What is it with you that pulls me near you? Why I feel you're my dear one? Why I have a soft corner for you? Why does my heart beat for you?" Khushi asked while beating him on his chest crying, "What is it that I feel with you and no one else dammit!?"

Arnav stood in silence, though his heart was jumping in happiness, at least she started to acknowledge him.

While pushing him and beating him, her eyes fell on the heart locket around his neck. She stopped and held that heart locket in her hands.

She closed her eyes tightly getting clear images of her playing with this heart locket sitting on his lap. The man she always see in her flashes, it's him only. It's Him!!

Her mind went to a quick flashback from the time they got married, him taking care of her, playing with her, pampering her, her moments with his family and then the accident.

She opened her eyes in shock, with trembling hands she got hold of his collar and looked at him crying, "You're.. my.. husband? My.. Arnav.. and.. I'm.. your.. Doll na?"

Arnav nodded his head with tears in his eyes, still he smiled happily, "You remember it now?"

Khushi nodded her head, "I remember.. everything.. I remember it.. our marriage.. our moments.."

"Why did you marry me? Why did you spoil your life by marrying with a woman who behave like child?" Khushi asked.

"Because I fell in love with you at first sight only.." Arnav replied sincerely.

Khushi looked at him with admiration in her eyes, "I'm so lucky to have got a husband like you!"

"Do you accept our marriage because you too feel something for me or just because we are married?" Arnav asked unsure.

"Mr. Raizada my heart was searching for you since long, I always felt something missing in my life after that accident and that's why.. Now my heart is at peace.. That means.."

She looked at him smiling and pecked his cheek, "I love you too!"

Shashi watched this scene emotionally, while Arnav lifted Khushi and twirled her happily in his arms, not even caring about their surroundings, "My Doll!"

"Yours only!" Khushi screamed laughing happily.
