Mumbai:

Khushi held his hand tightly as soon as they walked out of the airport, means they reached to their hometown, and now she has to face her mother and tell her that she chose Arnav instead of her. It would be heartbreaking moment for her, she never prayed to be in such a complicated situation in her life.

"Khushi calm down.. I'll take care of everything.." Arnav looked at her.

"I know you will.." Khushi whispered, and wrapped her hands around his arms.

The driver came and everyone got inside the car.

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

NGO:

Anjali came outside of the kitchen with juice for Madhu, she smiled and handled to her, "This is for you aunty.."

"Thank you Anjali bitiya.." Madhu smiled.

Nisha also smirked, and made Anjali sit beside her, "Di tell me the truth please.. will you help us separate Arnav from Khushi?? How will you do it??"

"Haan I will.. don't worry.. my plans will work according the time.. this time Arnav and Khushi will be separated from each other forever.. because this time my plan will have no flaws.." Anjali said smirking.

"I'm much relieved now.. we are four now and they are two.. which means our group is stronger.." Nisha sighed in relief.

"By doing all this, will Khushi be mine??" Arjun asked not interested in their plans, only to reunite with his childhood love.

"Haan beta.. I'm doing all this to make you and Khushi one.. no one will be able to separate you both and Khushi will realize that she doesn't love Arnav at all.." Madhu said.

Anjali walked back to the kitchen making an excuse of leaving the tray back.

"Sorry Nisha.. but I won't separate Chote from Khushi, instead I will make sure your every plan with Madhu aunty and Arjun fails.. I've committed many sins till now, and now it's time to do my duty as a sister.. I will make sure I save my brother's marriage, and you three will never be able to break it.." Anjali thought.

Ruchi came running to the kitchen making a sad face, she clutched Anjali's sari calling her, "Didii..Didiii.."

Anjali bend down to reach her level, "Yes my sweetheart.. what do you want???"

Ruchi: You too? I thought you were good person but you want to separate my bhaiya and my Didi.. why?? Why Madhu ma turned bad? Why did she lied to Didi that she is sick when she is not? What do you keep talking about plans every day??

Anjali cupped her face and whispered, "It's a secret.. don't say this to anyone.. but I'm with them because I want to save your bhaiyaa and Didi.."

"Then why are you with them??" Ruchi asked all confused.

"One day I met Nisha didi at the market, Nisha didi is very bad and she wants to separate your bhaiya and didi once and for all.. so she asked me to help her do that and convinced me for that.. but I know Ruchi loves bhaiya and Didi a lot.. so I will only pretend that I'm helping them.. when you're my real partner.. bolo.. will you help in making your bhaiya and didi relationship even more stronger than before??" Anjali asked her smiling.

Ruchi nodded smiling, "Yes I will help you.."

"Then it's a secret okay.. don't say this to anyone.." Anjali placed her index finger on Ruchi's lips, who giggled nodding her head in positive.

Nisha came to them running.

"What happened Nisha?" Anjali asked.

"Arnav and Khushi arrived.. I had to hide na.. they can't see me here.." Nisha said hiding under the table.

Ruchi laughed staring at her, "Nisha didi is scared.. Nisha didi is scared!! Hahahaaahha.."

Nisha glared at Ruchi, who hide behind Anjali scared of her now.

Anjali lifted Ruchi walking out of the kitchen to see Arnav and Khushi.

Arnav on the other side reached calmly with his nervous wife, who was blabbering to him all the way.

Madhu stood up with a smile staring at Khushi, she walked near Khushi and hugged her tightly, "Thank DM you returned safe and sound.."

"As if I'm a kidnapper!!" Arnav rolled his eyes in disbelief.

Madhu looked at him angrily and ignored to greet him. She pushed Khushi to sit with her on the sofa, and Arnav walked behind her.

While Arjun greeted Khushi, Arnav's eyes landed on a familiar face to him. First he was shocked, then turned to disappointment to see the face of the person he wants to forget..

Anjali looked at him with teary eyes, she smiled staring at him. Arnav looked away ignoring her, still the question on his mind was haunting him, what was his Di doing in Madhu's NGO??

"Toh bolo Khushi.. what did you decide? Whom will you choose between me and Arnav??" Madhu asked with a smile on her face.

Khushi smiled nervously, they just threw this question at her without giving her a chance to explain them why she will choose her husband.

"Ma.. I.." Khushi stammered, she looked at Arnav's eyes to gain some courage to say this to her mother, the one who adopted her and nurtured her when she had no one in her life.

"Let's get this straight sasuma.." Arnav interrupted her, "Khushi is legally my wife, which means I've rights over her and vice versa.. let me explain you better, Khushi is MINE.. and I don't want to leave my wife.. nor now neither in my future.. and you want Khushi to leave me by hook or by crook.. not to forget the drama of sickness you put up to convince her choose you.." Arnav chuckled in his last statement.

Khushi widened her eyes and Madhu was left with open mouth, "How dare you say that I lied??"

"Ohh you can lie.. we are humans and off course not saints.. so I don't believe you!!" Arnav shrugged his shoulders.

"But that's not the main point, the main point is you want Khushi, and I also want my wife.. so in between our fight we're making Khushi's life difficult.. because it's difficult for her to choose between her husband or her mother.. but let me tell you that she would choose me only.." Arnav smirked.

Madhu frowned and looked at Khushi.

"Look at me sasuma.. I've not finished yet.. so I was saying that I can't see my wife troubling herself for both of us, so I thought to solve this problem in my way.." Arnav said.

"Which way? Force me to accept you??" Madhu raised her eyebrows.

"No my dear sasuma.. can I force you to like me when I myself hate you??" Arnav chuckled.

Khushi shook her head in disbelief; her husband is not scared to share his thoughts in front of the person he hates!!

Madhu: Look at the shameless man you have as your husband Khushi, he has not respect at all!!

Khushi stayed quiet and looked at Arnav.

"Do not bring Khushi in between us.." Arnav said serious now, he doesn't like the way Madhu brings Khushi in between everything.

"Let's make a deal!" Arnav said.

Khushi looked at him confused, he didn't talk with her about any deal, what was he planning to do now!!

"If I lose you take Khushi with you, and if I win then my wife is mine.." Arnav said staring at Madhu.

"Sounds good!!" Madhu nodded "What's the deal??"

"The deal is that I will marry Khushi now with all the rituals we didn't complete yet.." Arnav was talking only to be cut by Madhu who didn't like the idea.

"What is this?? You're making Khushi yours again.. don't take me as a fool.." Madhu frowned and Arjun also stared angrily at Arnav.

"I didn't finish.. to marry Khushi I will prove myself as a good husband for her who will only care and love only her.. not the way you describe me.. if I managed to prove myself then on the marriage day I will mark Khushi as mine, but if I don't then you will take your daughter back.." Arnav said.

Khushi looked at Arnav with moist eyes, she clutched his shirt: What are you saying?? You're risking our marriage because of a deal.. I don't want this deal okay..

Arnav cupped her face, "Relax I know what I'm doing.."

"No.. you don't know.. I will never divorce you Arnav.. Ma I've decided that I will choose my husband only.. I'm Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada.. no one will take this name from me.. no one.. please stop this deal.. I don't want to risk our relationship.." Khushi said crying, she clutched her mangalsutra tightly.

"Khushi am I good husband for you or not?" Arnav asked to her wiping her tears with his thumb.

"You're.." she replied "But no one here will accept that.."

"Then if you consider me a good husband, means I already won this battle Khushi.. and don't worry there will be special judges to test me for that.. it will not be sasuma who I know will reject me right away.." Arnav explained to her.

Madhu smirked, "Let's see Mr.Raizada if you manage to prove yourself what you're not.. I'm sure that my daughter will come back to me.. Khushi maybe you're taking me as a villain now, but I only want your good bitiya.. nothing else.."

Khushi cried and rested her head on Arnav's chest, who was consoling her that she is his only and no one would separate them, this deal he only did to make Madhu accept her defeat and never try to manipulate Khushi to do things on her way.
