Khushi looked around, she blushed seeing some guests look at them.

She shifted her attention to Arnav whispering: Arnav.. Leave me..

Arnav frowned: Why?

Khushi raised her hands pointing to the guests: They are looking at us..

Arnav rolled his eyes: They will always, why care for them?

Khushi giggled: You're impossible!! See my mehndi spoiled because of you.

Arnav scanned her hand: Not that much, at least my name is still in your hand.

Khushi looked at his face giggling: And my mehndi is in your face!!

Arnav widened his eyes touching his right cheek: What the.. No.. Why this had to happen??

Khushi laughed and hugged him tightly: It will fade in some days.. And no one will notice it..

Arnav smiled: Since it's you, I don't mind.

Anjali came near them, and was shocked seeing both hugging each other.

Anjali: Chote..

Arnav and Khushi broke the hug, and looked at her.

Arnav replied not interested in talking with her: What?

Anjali looked at him sadly: Chote why are you talking with me like that? Did I committed a big sin?

Arnav: Don't ask me Di. You know what you did, and you should be ashamed of yourself for betraying ma, and supporting that man.

Anjali nodded sideways: Ma is not angry with me Chote, he is our father. No one ignores their father Chote. Just give him one chance.

Arnav irritated: Diii.. Are you blind or what? He himself said to me that he only wants our property and nothing else. He only loves his second wife and his children. Please open your eyes. He doesn't love us..

Anjali shut her eyes: Chote you're still thinking about him as a villain. Please talk with him calmly, he is changed now.

Arnav: I don't want to talk with him, he is your guest only, you take care of him. Didn't you think about Nani before inviting him? He killed Nani's daughter, do

you think it's easy for her to be in the same place as him?

Anjali: Chote please..

Khushi looked at both: Please calm down Arnav.

Arnav walked to leave. Anjali held his hand stopping him.

Anjali looked at him crying, and Arnav was having a hard time controlling his feelings, he didn't want to ignore his sister, but would never forgive his father.

Arnav shut his eyes: Di don't force me. I won't forgive that man..

Anjali: Just try Chote please.

Arnav: No Di. I will never forgive him for killing my mother slowly, for leaving us and go to London with his lover, for never calling us to know how we are, for leaving us without any protection, if it was not for mama and mami, we wouldn't be here, and now you want me to accept him as my father? Smile at him despite everything he did with me and you? Really Di?

Arnav left, Anjali stood there thinking about his words.

Khushi placed her hand on Anjali's shoulder: Di.. I admit he is your father, but he doesn't deserve to be called so.. Whatever he did in your past, if I was in your position I would also do the same Arnav is doing. He is responsible for your mother's death, and you still accept him? I can clearly read from his eyes that he hasn't good intentions.

Shyam also came there: Anjali why are you hell bent on making Arnav accept Dev?

Anjali stayed silent. She left from there crying to her room.

Shyam sigh, Khushi looked sad, she went running to console Arnav.

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

Arnav's room:

Arnav cried: Meera Di doesn't understand me. Why should I forgive that man?

Meera hugged him tightly: It's okay monkey. Di will understand your point only when she see his true face..

Arnav nodded: You're right Rabbit. We have to show her Dev's true face only then I will be able to get them out of here.

Meera: So we need to think of a plan!

Arnav: But what will make him speak the truth?

Mean while, Khushi reached Arnav's room and found Meera and Arnav talking.

Khushi: Arnav tum teek ho?

Arnav nodded and made Khushi sit on his lap: We're thinking of a way to make Dev and Nikhil reveal their plans.

Meera was surprised seeing Arnav close to Khushi, while Khushi was blushing sitting on his lap in front of someone else.

Arnav noticed the two, he smiled: Rabbit we're back together now.

Meera smiled broadly: Really!! Wow I'm so happy for you monkey and Khush.

Khushi smiled looking at Arnav lovingly.

Meera cleared her throat: Ok enough of your romance here!! Let's think of a plan..

Khushi: Why don't we act as ghost and scare them? They will surely tell us the truth. After all who is not scared of ghost?

Arnav rolled his eyes: Khushi seriously??

Meera giggled with Arnav, while Khushi pouted: Then tell us your plan!

Arnav smirked: I will do something that Di will realize by herself that he isn't trustworthy.

Khushi and Meera looked at him confused: What??

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

Payal looked around the hall, trying to spot Lav, Meera and Khushi.

She pouted: Where did they go now?

Suddenly someone pulled her from behind, she gasped scared: Wha..

The person placed his palm on her mouth impeding her to talk more.

Payal widened her eyes but after seeing his face, she sigh in relief.

Akash smiled and left her: Kaisa laga surprise?

Payal beat him on his chest: You scared me!

Akash giggled: You see I wasn't able to stay away from you. That's why I had to literally kidnap you from there.

Payal smirked: Acha? Mr.Raizada are you that weak? Can't you come in front of everyone and take me?

Akash: Do you want Nani to pull my ear?

Both laughed.

Nani shouted searching for Payal: Payaaallll bitiyaaaa.. Payaaallll...

Payal widened her eyes in shock, Akash hid her behind a pillar: Talk about the devil, and here she is..

Arnav, Khushi, Meera, Lav and Ayan were descending the stairs and saw Akash and Payal hiding from Nani.

Arnav smirked: Naniii what are you doing?

Nani looked up: I'm searching for Payal. Don't know where is she? She was here only..

Khushi giggled silently.

Arnav: I think I saw her..

Akash and Payal widened their eyes hearing this. Akash cursed Arnav for trying to spoil his moment with Payal.

Nani smiled: Where?

Arnav was about to point behind the pillar, Khushi shoved his hand quickly: He saw Payal's ghost Nani. Not her, tell Nani na Arnav..

Nani frowned confused: Payal's ghost?

Arnav glared at Khushi: Woh Nani I dream that Payal bhabhi was a ghost and wanted to kill me..

Nani laughed: Arnav beta you and these kinds of dreams??

Khushi, Lav, Meera and Ayan also laughed at him.

Payal sigh in relief seeing that Nani's attention wasn't in her anymore.

Nani: Acha it's lunch time now, come outside you all.

The youngsters nodded smiling, they were really hungry now.

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

" Uncle what are you doing here? Aren't you seeing what I am? Khushi is getting close to Arnav now" Nikhil looked angry at Dev.

" I said calm down" Dev smiled at him.

" Calm down?? DM fashion house is almost ruined, and we are here enjoying a marriage and letting both stay close to each other, really uncle? Aren't you

switching sides now?" Nikhil sat on Dev's bed frustrated.

" Shut up Nikhil. I know Arnav and Khushi are getting closer now. And this is what I need, the more closer they get, the more it will hurt when they get separated. Right now I'm just using Anjali to divert his attention, my prey is that little girl Khushi Kumari Gupta!! " Dev smirked.

" What? Why are we wasting time on Anjali then? " Nikhil asked confused.

" I already said that, so that Arnav keeps his attention on saving his sister from me, and leaves Khushi. I will do such a plan that will force Arnav to make you

marry Khushi and transfer all his property to you, I mean to us!!" Dev laughed evily leaning on his bed headboard.

Nikhil just nodded smirking.

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

" Arnav please feed me na. See I have Mehndi in my hands.. How can you be so bad?" Khushi pouted looking at him enjoying his food.

Arnav giggled and feed her: Here it is my hungry princess.

Khushi smiled accepting him feed her the delicious wedding food.

Nani was really happy seeing this scene.

Anjali came there and sat on the table with a faint smile.

Arnav looked at her worried, her face clearly showed him that she was crying.

He felt bad to see his Di crying.
