While Anjali left Raizada mansion angry with Khushi.

Arnav walked silently to his room.

Everyone looked at him going to his room, his face had no expression at all, it was blank.

Mami cried, "It's all Anjali's fault.. Ratna made all of us promise that Arnav shouldn't get to know that he is an orphan. He is a Raizada to all of us.. But Anjali couldn't handle to keep it a secret.. After so many years she had to reveal it to him.. See na Manohar.. Ratna will be so angry with us.. Today her Arnav is hurt.."

Manohar nodded with tears on his eyes, "Anjali shouldn't have done that. Not only Didi (Ratna), but Ma (Nani) also never wanted anyone to know about this.."

Akash: I never thought things would turn out like this..

"I will get going now.. Thanks for everything Akash and Payal.. You both showed me the right path today.." Shyam said wiping his tears away.

Akash patted his shoulders, "Listen don't be sad for those who don't deserve. And I'm really sorry for what Di did to you.. I know there is no forgiveness for this.."

Shyam went from there.

Khushi went running behind Arnav, she opened the door of his room slowly.

Arnav was on his bed silent, the room was also like his state dark and silent.

Khushi sat beside him.

She stare at his face crying, she couldn't see the love of her life in this state. Now it pricks her heart and it was one of the worst feelings ever in her life. If she didn't love him like before, maybe it would be easy to just say "Move on.. Everything will be alright" to him, but NOW it's different, if he is broken, then she is equal to dead.

"Arnav.. look at me.." she whispered to him.

Arnav didn't move a bit, he was just staring at the floor, or maybe not even that, he was lost..

Khushi cupped his face trying to move him to face her.

That's when he react, "Don't.. Don't touch me.." Arnav shoved her hands away from him, still looking at the floor, he refused to move from his position.

"You knew it Khushi.. Even you! I trust you and you betrayed me.. You lied to me.. My Jerry lied to me.." Arnav broke down crying.

Khushi nodded sideways, "I didn't.. I didn't want to break your heart.."

"Break my heart? How do think I'm now?" he finally looked at her side.

"If even I told you, would you believe in a strange girl like me? Tell me Arnav.. Would you believe in my words? Would you believe in a girl who just stayed weeks with you?" she asked staring into his eyes.

"YES.. I would believe in YOU.. Because I trust you dammit.. You're not a strange girl to me, you're MY WIFE.. Understood???" he shouted with anger clear on his tone.

Khushi looked at him astonished.

Arnav fell on her lap crying, he clutched her salwar, "Why Khushi? Why did you lie to me? I would trust you.."

"I'm sorry Arnav.. But I was just keeping a promise I made to Nani, and Nani made to your Mumma.. She never wanted you to know about this.. Because for her, you were her real son.. She loved you more than she loved her own daughter.. You were an angel who came to her life.. That's why.." Khushi ruffled his hair.

"But why? You all knew it.. I lived a lie all these years.. I'm not Arnav Singh Raizada then.. I don't deserve all this.. I don't even know who I am.. I feel so bad now.. I snatched Di's rights from childhood na.. That's why Di never treated me well when we were kids.. I would never imagine it could be something like this.. But when we grow up, Nani..gave me the responsibility of AR.. I was a fool only.. I couldn't see her sad face when they gave me

something that was hers, not mine.. It's nothing mine.. This family, this house, AR.. Nothing belongs to me.. I don't even know who I'm.. " Arnav cried more.

Khushi nodded sideways, "You both share the same right Arnav.. You didn't snatch anything from her.. You only got what you deserved.. Arnav please stop thinking that you're not her son.. You're her life.. She loved you the most.. And she would be feeling terrible now where she is, hearing that you asked such stupid question, "Who am I?" You're her son, this family's Chote and AR's owner.. So what if you don't share a blood relation with your Mumma? At least what you both share proved to be more than a blood relation.. It was such a beautiful bond between you both, why are you spoiling it because of people like Anjali? Do you think Mumma is happy when you question her relationship with you? Do you think she is happy in heaven by hearing her son ask who am I after all the love and care she showed to you?"

Arnav nodded sideways like a baby.

Khushi wiped his tears with her palms.

"Let me tell you how your Mumma found you and how it was DM's wish that you both share a son and mother relationship.." she tried to smile for him.

Arnav nodded looking at her eagerly to know where they found him.

Flashback..

Ratna was on the hospital bed crying, she lost her child. She was cursing herself for not being able to save her second child.

Raj came to her and hugged her tightly, "Ratna please don't cry.. It's DM's wish.. What can we do?"

" Why my son Raj? Why not me? DM could have taken me with her, I would happily go to her, but why my little son? What was his mistake? Why did I lose him Raj? Why? .. It's all these doctors fault.. They killed my baby Raj.. I had so many dreams for my little boy.. Why didn't they save my son? Why did my son die after stepping in this world Raj? Was it my fault? Did I do something wrong? I took care of myself na? I did all that doctors said to me then? Why?" Ratna clutched his shirt crying.

"Don't blame anyone Ratna.. It was destiny.. We will have another baby Ratna.. Please stop crying.. I can't see you like this.." Raj caressed her back.

"I'm sorry Raj.. You must be angry with me because I couldn't save your son.. You had dreams that he would be the next owner of AR.. He would be just like his father in business world.. No one would beat him, hain na? I broke your dreams Raj.."

"No.. This dream will be fulfilled by our princess Anjali na.. I'm not angry with you Ratna.. I love you.. Please don't say such things.." he kissed her forehead.

A knock disturbed their emotional conversation.

"Excuse me.." a pregnant lady stood on the door.

Ratna and Raj looked at her. Raj immediately went to help her, he made her sit on Ratna's bed, while Ratna moved aside letting the woman rest.

"It's okay! I'm fine.." she smiled.

"What fine? You shouldn't walk in such situations.. If you need anything then call the nurses.. Wait.. They didn't attend you well?.. I will talk with them.." Ratna scolded her and then turned to scold the doctors for not taking care of the lady.

"No! Please listen to me.. I want to talk with you only.." the lady said smiling.

"Me?" Ratna asked confused.

"Yes.. First my name is Ananya. Actually I'm a widower and my little one father died on a car accident.. I had to struggle alone to take care and reach till here to give birth to my baby.. But there is a problem.." Ananya looked at Ratna and Raj with a worried face.

"What problem?" Ratna caressed her hair.

"Share with us! What's the problem? We would do everything to help you.." Raj said consoling the lady.

"Like my little one father, I will leave this world soon.. Doctors said there is a complication on my pregnancy. And one of both us would live, so I decided to go on and let my little one live.. But I didn't knew that his father would die and my baby would stay alone after my death.. I would keep him with our family in London, but I know that we are not so connected with each other and they would not give any attention to my boy.. That's why.. actually .. " Ananya looked at both scared.

"You want to give us your baby?" Ratna asked surprised.

Ananya nodded, "How do you know? Yes, I want to give my baby to you both.. The way I saw you both loved so much your unborn child and I'm really sorry he couldn't survive.. I really feel bad.. That's why I want to give you both my baby.. I know better than you both, no one would take care of him.. So can you both do this big favor on me?.. I will be very grateful to you both.. Please accept it.."

Ratna nodded smiling, "Of course we would be happy helping you. And DM gave us our happiness back to us.. See na we lost our baby, but DM blessed us with another baby.. DM returned happiness in my life Raj.." Ratna hugged him smiling.

Raj nodded and hugged her back. Ananya smiled staring at both.

"Just one request.." Ananya said.

"Yes tell us.. And don't request please.. The baby is yours.." Ratna smiled.

"We are thankful to you for giving us such a happiness in our life.. After losing our child, we thought we would never be happy again.. But because of you we are so happy today.." Raj joined his hands to the lady.

"No please! Don't say such things.. I'm thankful to you both for accepting my baby without any problems. I just want you both to name him Arnav.. Please it's a small request.." Ananya said with tears on her eyes.

Ratna nodded, "Arnav.. We will keep it as his name.. Don't worry.. I will give him lot of love and will care for him all day.. He is an angel that came in my life.. I will thank DM everyday for giving me Arnav in my life.. I will treat him as my real son.. We will share an unique bond.."

Flashback ends.

"So when your mother gave you birth, she lost her life but you gained your Mumma and a family who loves you a lot Arnav.." Khushi ended telling him his truth, his story.

Arnav blinked his eyes, staring at Khushi.

"Now tell me if you can choose who is your real mother?" Khushi asked him.

"Both are my real mothers.." Arnav whispered as he understood Khushi's point of view now. It was wrong for him to say now that Ratna is not his mother, or he didn't deserve her love, because she always loved him like her own son. Both of his mothers always did what they did for his happiness only.

"See.. Now you will not say you're not a Raizada.. Or you snatched everything from Anjali, right?" Khushi asked him like his Mumma used to ask when she ended her explanation to him.

"I won't say such thing now.. I'm Arnav Singh Raizada.." Arnav said and turned his face to her waist, he hugged her waist tightly like a baby and closed his eyes.

Khushi caressed the back of his hair smiling, she wiped the tears running down on her cheek.

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

After Arnav fell asleep, Khushi made him lay properly on the bed and closed the door so that no one disturbs his sleep.

Khushi descended the stairs and found everyone in the living room with worried and crying faces.

"Khushi bitiya did you talk with him?" Mami shot the question as soon as she saw Khushi on the stairs.

Khushi nodded and walked to them.

"Bhai is okay na??" Akash asked concerned.

"He is resting now.. I talked with him about his past.." Khushi said.

"What did you told him? He must be broken now.." Mami cried.

"No Mami.. I made him understand that even Ratna ji, as well as Ananya ji are his real mothers.. He shouldn't say that Ratna ji isn't his mother, because she loved him like her real son and would be hurt if he question her relationship with him, that's why she hide such a big truth from him, she never wanted him to think he was an orphan.. Because for her, he never was.." Khushi said touching Mami's arms.

"Sachi? Did he understood what you explained to him?" Mama asked.

Khushi nodded smiling, "After all he is ASR.."

Everyone smiled relieved now.

Karan: No one should get a sister like Anjali really..

Meera nodded: What he did for her and see how she returned to him!

Mami: I will prepare something for him to eat.. He must be weak na..

Mami wiping her tears went to the kitchen.

Khushi looked at everyone with sad faces, today surely wasn't a good day for them. What she expected and what happened! Everyone had a big smile on their faces while welcoming them, and now only because of Anjali the smiled is far away from their faces.

"We can't be sad like this. If we behave like this, then imagine how will Arnav be? He will be more hurt if he see you all like this..he will concentrate on his office all day and will isolate himself from his family, this family will go back to what it was again.. Please don't let this happen.. We must be strong.." Khushi looked at everyone.

Akash nodded, he wiped his face with his palms, breathing in: We should be strong for Bhai. This truth can't shatter our family.. Nor we will let ANJALI spoil our happy family.. Guys we were changing na.. See Khushi managed to change Me, Ma, Payal and Bhai. We were about to start living as a happy family again, but she spoiled our happy moments.. But we can't let this happen..

Khushi smiled: Haan Akash.. This is the moment we should stay and support each other.. We can't let Arnav alone now..

Payal: Yes, nothing will change now.. We already changed for good.. And we can't let Anjali spoil everyone's hard work here..

Mama, Meera and Karan agreed.

Karan: So in simple words, we are supposed to do everything to make Arnav happy hain na? And not like leave him alone, and concentrate on our life only otherwise we will be like we were when Arnav lost his parents..

Khushi giggled and nodded, "Yes, you will be a naughty friend to Arnav, Meera will be his mad friend, Akash his supportive brother, Payal his well wisher, Mama will be his business partner at home, Mami will be his third mother, and I will be.. " Khushi stopped when it came to her part, she smiled faintly at everyone.

"YOU will be HIS JERRY.." everyone said at the same time.

Khushi nodded whispering, "Yes.. I will always be here when he needs me.."

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

Anjali was standing on the road thinking what to do.

"How dare she throw me out of my parents house? Just wait and watch what I will do to you.. But now what will happen to me? I will never be able to marry Yuvraj then.. Shyam also left me and we didn't even complete six months yet.. Couldn't this secret come out after six months? I would go and marry Yuvraj and live happily with him.. What will I do now?" she cried walking helplessly on the road now.

She decided to call Yuvraj now.

"Yuvraj.." she sobbed when he attended the call.

"Yes princess, what happened? Are you crying?" came a soft reply.

"Yuvraj they threw me out of my mansion.. Can you believe it?.. They got to know why I married Shyam.." she said.

"What? How? First tell me where are you? Are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"I'm outside RM on the roads.. Can you come here? I need you.." she cried clutching her sari with her hands.

"Haan, don't worry I'm coming to you Princess.." Yuvraj said before hang up the call.

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

Shyam reached his house devastated, he went silently to his room.

His mother noticed him going to his room and she wondered why did he return so early today.

"Beta is everything okay? Why did you return so early from the shop?" she shouted to make him hear.

Shyam glanced at her, "I asked Chotu to take care of the shop.."

"Haan haan.. But what happened to you? Why did you ask Chotu?" his mother came to him and touched his forehead to check if he is sick or not.

"I'm fine Ma.. Please leave me alone for a while.." Shyam stepped back and was about to enter on his room.

"Did you fight with our bahu?" she smiled.

"Stop it Ma.. She is no one to me.. She isn't your Bahu.." Shyam shouted and the tears he was controlling till now, finally came out.

"What are you saying Beta? Are you very angry with her or what? Beta didn't she told you to have patience.. She will tell her villain brother about you both..trust me.." his mother looked at him worried.

"Villain brother!! She is the real villain Ma, not his brother.. She is a woman who doesn't deserve the respect from us.. She is a disgusting woman.. She played with my feelings Ma.. Anjali isn't the sweet and good girl you think she is.. Ma she loves someone else.. She just married me because the first person who would marry her was destined to die. It was all her plan Ma, since I'm poor so she used me, I would die and no one would create a scene for that, then she would marry a man of her dreams.. She never loved me Ma.. She just used a fool like me to get what she wants.. Anjali is right Ma.. I'm a fool.. I'm really a fool who let people play with my feelings.." he said in his mother embrace crying.

"Ma.. Ma.." Shyam broke the hug and looked at his mother unconscious.

"Maaaaa.. What happened? .. Open your eyes Maa.. Talk with me.." Shyam cried patting her cheeks.

The neighbors hearing his shout came inside his house.

"Shyam what happened to your mother?" they asked worried.

"She fainted.. I.. I have to take her to hospital.." Shyam mumbled and lifted his mother, one of the neighbor who had a car near, helped them reach the hospital nearby.

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

Arshi's room:

Mami reached the room with a tray, she wanted to feed him as it was lunch time.

He had already woke up, but didn't made any sound or reached downstairs to talk with them.

He was just leaned on the headboard of his bed on his place.

"Arnav bitwa.." she smiled and walked to sit beside him.

"Look today I cooked for you.. You have to taste this food and tell me if you like it or not?" Mami said.

Arnav nodded sideways, "I don't want.."

Mami: Why bitwa? Try it at least..

She tried to feed him placing the food near his lips.

Arnav looked away, "No.."

Mami left the food back on the plate upset.

Khushi watched this through the door, she wiped her tears and entered in the room.

Arnav glanced at her, Khushi sat on the bed with him and took the tray to her lap.

"You have to eat Arnav.. I also don't like to see this loser with Devdas uniform..ASR is better than this one.. ASR's body language is enough to fear someone.. His dark eyes uff can make any girl surrender to him.." she said again bringing the food near his lips.

"Even you?" he asked accepting her feed him now.

"I already surrender myself to you Arnav.. You're the one who don't believe in Love still.." she thought with a sad smile on her lips.

"Am I a boy that you're asking me like this?" she looked at him with big eyes.

Arnav smiled faintly, while Mami chuckled.

After feeding him, Khushi wanted to keep the plate back in the kitchen.

Arnav held her hand stopping her from leaving the room.

"I will come back.." she whispered blinking her eyes.

Arnav still didn't left her hand, instead he held more possessively this time.

Mami understood he wanted to stay with Khushi.

She smiled: Khushi bitiya give this tray to me. I will keep it back in the kitchen.. You stay here with Arnav bitwa..

Khushi nodded and handled to tray to Mami, she sat back with him.

Mami went from there and closed the door.

Downstairs, everyone eagerly came to her to know if Arnav ate or not.

"What happened Ma? Did bhai eat?" Akash asked.

"Yes he ate! But not from my hand..he only accepted Khushi to feed him.." Mami smiled.

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

Yuvraj's mansion..

"Anjali but why did you let Arnav know about this?" Yuvraj's mother asked.

"I had no other option Ma! Arnav would kick me out from my mansion and I would have to stay at that yuck Shyam's house.. I wouldn't tolerate all this.." Anjali said.

"Success requires sacrifices Anjali. You should have accepted that. Arnav would make you leave RM, you would stay with Shyam, after six months he would die and your brother would forgive you by seeing your devastated state after losing your husband and then I would enter in the scene as someone who could fill the absence of your husband Shyam. Arnav to see your happiness again, wouldn't think twice to make you marry me.. And that's it Anjali.. Our plan could still be a success.." Yuvraj face palmed.

"I didn't think of all this.." Anjali frowned.

"Yeah you didn't because you don't think with calm mind.." Yuvraj said.

"Are you taunting me?" she asked angry.

"No Princess.. I'm just upset that you lost such a big opportunity.. But it's okay.. We can still think of something.." Yuvraj hugged her caressing her back, then he looked at his mother winking with a evil smirk.

"We will not think of anything Yuvraj.. Everything is over now.." Anjali broke the hug.

"Over?" he looked at her confused.

"What will I do now Yuvraj? No one supports me in that mansion.. And they would never take me back after what I did.. I broke Mumma's promise.. I told Arnav that he isn't my parents real son.. And he told me I mean nothing to him now.. I'm good as dead for him now.. There is no way back for me Yuvraj.. Also Khushi kicked me out from there.. So.. It's over.." Anjali cried.

"Wait.. Just repeat what you said.. Arnav told you what??" Yuvraj said shocked.

"He said I'm good as dead for him now.." Anjali repeated for him.

"Means you mean nothing to Arnav now.. I mean you're not his Di, his life, his everything anymore?" Yuvraj blinked his eyes.

"Haan Yuvraj why are you talking like this now?" Anjali looked at him confused.

Yuvraj's mother: And who is this Khushi? Who is she to throw you out from your mansion?

"Nani transferred all the property to Khushi's name.." Anjali said.

Yuvraj and his mother gulped shocked.

"What? And you're telling me this now?" Yuvraj screamed.

"Haan toh? What happened to you?" Anjali looked at him more confused than before.

"I would have convinced Khushi to marry me by now, not waste my time on a poor like you..

" Yuvraj rolled his eyes.

"WHAT? What are you saying Yuvraj? Have you realized what you just said to me now?" Anjali stood up crying.

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

Arshi's room:

"Do you know who Yuvraj is?" Arnav asked to Khushi.

Khushi nodded sideways, "No, who is he?"

"He is one of my business rival.. And it's too obvious he just used Anjali to destroy me.. He only wanted to marry her so that he gets my power in fashion world.. He knew if I handle my sister to him then I would have to do everything as per as his wishes.. It's too obvious Khushi.. Only Anjali doesn't use her mind to see this.." Arnav said looking at poolside view to hide his tears coming out again.

Khushi cupped his face, "It's okay Arnav! You can cry in front of me.."

Arnav shut his eyes tightly, "I don't want to cry.."

Khushi didn't know if she would smile at his cuteness or cry for his pain.

"Cry Arnav.. Cry your heart out.. No one will say anything to you.." Khushi whispered to him.

"No.. I won't shed tears for that woman.." he hugged Khushi crying.

It wasn't so easy to forget everything his sister did to him and to Shyam. Maybe she doesn't even realize how much she hurt him, maybe she doesn't care!

"I wish this was just a bad dream Khushi.. I wish I woke up from this dream and see my sister, my Di smiling at me, calling me Chote, giving me my meds on time.. Scolding me for being all the time work.. I wish.. How I wish.. You know when I was a kid I loved her a lot, I kept doing crazy things just to gain her attention but she distanced herself from me, now it's also the same thing what happened.. But this time I will distance myself from her.." Arnav mumbled, his eyes turned red.

"I know even I wish that Arnav.. But we can't change what happened, the truth is Anjali turned out to be a selfish woman who just used a man to her selfish motives and also hated her brother because everyone used to give attention and not her.. She is wrong.. And I know that the path she choose is wrong, but I want her to walk on this path and realize by herself what precious person she lost in her life with her selfishness.. Even if she suffers now, it would be good for her to learn a lesson.." Khushi said caressing Arnav's back.

Arnav tightened his grip on Khushi, he wanted to say something to her but then he just buried his face on her hair crying.

"I'm just letting you cry today only because you're still in shock.. But tomorrow I want my ASR back okay.." she whispered in his ear.

"Okay.." he mumbled.

You all don't mind if I give many updates in a day na?
