For the first time in the history, India got qualified into FIFA World Cup. Arnav rose to fame because of the goal which paved India's way to World Cup. It was a proud moment for every Indian when the national anthem being played in the stadium during the first match in the world Cup. Indian defeated North Korea in the first match but wasn't able to go to the quarter finals. However, it gave a boost to Indian football. 

Now four years later, Arnav is playing the Asian Cup qualifier with a conflicted heart and mind which distracted his concentration. He don't know how the goal reached their court with a kick from his leg. He saw the shock and disappointments in his team members and he realised what he has done. He have kicked a self goal which lead them to lose in the match. 

Once the match got over, he went to the changing room. None of his teammates said anything to him. He sat there feeling frustrated with everything that is happening in his life. Once the room got less crowded, Aman moved next to Arnav.

"ASR, what have you done? I never thought that you will kick a self goal. This is a crucial match and now  we have to win on the next match." A worried Aman said standing beside a disturbed Arnav.

Aman

"I have been noticing you for a few days. Is this  because of your break up? I know how much you need Khushi..." As soon as he uttered her name, he found himself plastered to the wall with Arnav holding him tight. All the pend up frustrations got blasted with his words.

"I don't need anyone in my life. Arnav Singh Raizada's career doesn't depend on anyone else. I will prove that to you." Shouting this Arnav went from there angrily. He knew that whatever happened in the ground today is only because of her. 

"I won't fall weak. I'm the best and I will prove that."Arnav said with confidence.

Later that day, Aman is sitting with other players.

"Aman, what happened to ASR?" Himanshu asked him.

"Don't know." He lied not wanting to disclose anything about Arnav and Khushi.

"Did he broke up with his girlfriend by any chance?" He questioned again.

"That's impossible Himanshu. Haven't you see how he reacted when Tej talked bad about his girlfriend. He is crazy about her." Dev counted Himanshu.

"Well that's true." Himanshu agreed remembered the incident.

Flashback 

One year back

It's Arnav's 27th birthday and unfortunately Khushi went to Israel for a month as her cousin is getting married. She will be back after a few days. In that one month, they hardly talk with eachother. She don't want anyone to suspect about their relationship, so they didn't interacted much when she is in Israel.

Arnav is practising with his teammates when Aman walked towards him.

"ASR, Nyra is waiting for you." Aman told Arnav.

"I don't care about that." Saying this he continued with his practice.

"She won't go without meeting you."

"That's her problem. I don't want to meet her. F**k, i shouldn't have signed that advertisement deal." He said getting angry on the way media trying to make them a couple.

"ASR, she is not ready to go without seeing you. I think you should go and say f**k off to her." Aman told him while taking away the ball from him.

"I'm going to strangle her for disturbing me." Saying this Arnav went to the visitor's lounge.

"Let's go and see the face off between ASR and Nyra." Dev said to his teammates and they all went to the visitor's lounge.

Arnav reached near the lounge and his legs started to move faster as soon as he saw his sunshine standing there. For a moment he felt that he is hallucinating her. 

"Baby." He called her and she gave him a bright smile which lit up his heart.

"Happy Birthday Arnav." She said as he enveloped her in his arms. He hugged her tight for a moment inhaling her sweet fragrance. He disentangled from the hug and cupped her face.

"Baby you here?" He knew that she is suppose to return back to India after a week.

"Well, I can't miss my man's birthday so here I am." She said placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Did you come alone?" He asked dropping a kiss on her forehead.

"Payal and Aman were a part of this."

"I'm going to kill that Aman today. That f**ker didn't tell me that you are here."

"I told him not to tell you because I wanted to surprise the birthday boy."

"You told me that you will come only after a week."

"I'm directly coming from Israel. Payal pick me up from airport. They will be back after a week and till then I will be staying with Payal in here in Delhi." She gave him the good news which made him thrilled.

"Damn baby, you made me the happiest man alive. I missed you a lot." He said engulfing her in his arms with her head resting on his chest.

"I missee this." She whispered hearing his heart beats. 

When Dev and his other teammates came there, they saw Arnav hugging a girl. They could only see his back and not Khushi.

"Are ASR and Nyra together?" Tej asked to his teammates witnessing the scene. 

"Hai ASR, let's celebrate your birthday." Everyone turned their head towards the door where Payal stood with a some carry bags.

Arshi disentangled from the hug and saw his teammates standing there. Arnav brought Khushi to them and introduced her.

"This is my Khushi." He said wrapping his arms around her shoulder making her smile and blush at the same time. Whenever he introduce Khushi to someone, he never said that she is his girlfriend. Instead he says that she is his Khushi which hold a lot more value than being introduced as his girlfriend. It's true that she is his happiness, the driving force in his life for whom he lives.

"And this is my girlfriend Payal." Aman said moving towards Payal and placed the things on the table near by. Aman meet Payal when he stayed with Arnav for a few days. He saw Payal when she came to drop Khushi and he asked Arnav about Payal. Aman straight forwardly said to Arnav that he is interested in Payal. To that Arnav just warned him not to hurt Payal which will hurt his sweetheart too. Arnav knew that Aman is a good guy and adviced him to take it slowly as Payal just had a heart break recently. Slowly his efforts gets paid off and Payal started to like him. It's been an year since they started dating.

Arnav and Aman introduce each teammates to Khushi and Payal. Most of them were shocked to see Khushi who is exact opposite of what they have imagined in their mind. Most of them thought that his girlfriend would be arrogant spoil brat, but she turned out to be sweet and friendly person which is exact opposite of Arnav.

They were getting introduced when their coach came there. He looked at the boys and the two girls. 

"Sir, this is my Khushi and she is here because today is my birthday." Arnav told his coach and introduced each other. He also mentioned about Payal as Khushi's friend and Aman's girlfriend. Khushi talked to his coach and gifted him a painting of his iconic kick in the world cup.

"Well I dont take gifts from anyone but i can make an exception in this." Marko Rakitic said to Khushi seeing the hardwork she have put on the canvas.

They cut the cake and celebrated his birthday with everyone. They gave both of them a little privacy.

"I'm glad that you are finally here." He said kissing his knuckles.

"I was always excited to go to Israel, but this time i was not. There were so many moments when i felt like talking to you but I couldn't."

"All those messages you send me, they made my day." Arnav confessed his feelings. For them the last few weeks were hard without seeing or talking to eachother. They only communicated through messages.

"Don't you want you gift laadgovernor?" She asked taking a packet and giving it to him. It was a smartwatch which looked different.

"Give me your phone." She asked him.

"But why?" He questioned taking out his phone which she snatched away from him. She did something on his phone along with her phone.

"Baby, this smartwatch looks different."

"Yup, let me show you something." Saying this she took out another watch which is same as his.

"So it's a couple watch?" He enquired.

"Yes." She tied the watch on his hand and forward her hand towards him so that he can tie the watch on her hand. He tied the watch and looked at their hand. Khushi took their phone and did something. He saw the red colour emitting from the narrow design on the watch. She lightly tapped on her watch and he felt the vibration on his arms. 

"What the?" He asked feeling the vibration all of a sudden. She giggled and tapped two three times, sending vibrations in his hand along with the light.

"This is vibrating and glowing."

"This is a touch watch for those who are in long distance relationship. If you tap on the red line, i can feel that touch if the watch is on my hand. Otherwise the app connected to this app will store that touch and can be activated when I will wear the watch." She told him about the watch.

"This is amazing." Saying this he tapped on the watch and she smiled feeling the touch.

"Now whenever you want to touch me just tap on it."

"For now i can adjust with this touches, but i want to thoroughly touch you when we are together." He smirked at her.

"That you do when we are together." She said snuggling into his arms.

"Baby, don't snuggle too much. It's hard to control my buddy if he starts to show his respect. This place is not suitable for showing that respect."

"Well we can't do that now. Does that mean I can't kiss the birthday boy?" She asked with a pout.

"It's risky but I'm ready to take that risk for you because I'm the birthday boy gets whatever he want." She smiled at the man who means a lot to her. She pulled him closer and kissed him thoroughly.

"I will see you after two days. Be ready for my touches then." He whispered into her ear making her blush. Payal and Khushi bid bye to them and went to Payal's apartment. Payal got transferred to Delhi recent and staying here alone. 

Arnav went back to the ground after placing the watch safely in his room. After their training they were in the canteen waiting for their food when Tej went to talk with Arnav.

"ASR, I cant believe that she is your girlfriend. Are you struck with her for any other reason? Man, in my opinion she can't match upto Nyra and isn't worthy of you." As soon as he uttered that, he got pinned to the nearby wall with Arnav's arms around his neck. Arnav gripped tej's neck tighter making him choke.

"Dare you say a word against my Khushi, you are going to be death meat. I f**king don't want to hear your or anyone's opinion." He roared at Tej who is struggling hard to breathe. Aman and other reached next to him and asked Arnav to calm down. He loosen his grip and tej slump down on the floor.

Flashback ends

"He almost killed Tej for talking like that and I don't know what happened to him all of a sudden?" Dev said to both Aman and Himanshu.

"Yeah, it's better if we don't interfere in ASR's matter. Nowadays he is literally a walking volcano." Himanshu replied.

Aman reached his rooma nd got a call from Payal. Both of them are upset about Arshi.

"Is Khushi okay?" Aman asked Payal.

"She seems to be okay but i can sense the sadness in her. She terrible miss him. I'm going to kill that Raizada for doing this to her." Payal lashed out.

"He isn't okay too. He isn't telling me anything."

"Khushi asked me to give her time. She promised me that he will tell everything later. She made me promise not to do anything against ASR. I'm sure that it's all because of that b*t*h Nyra. She and her goddamn crush on ASR." 

"I don't think so Payal. Let's don't come to an assumption without knowing anything." Aman adviced her.

"Aman, I knew that they love eachother and i can't see this." She said getting worried for Khushi.

"They will come around Payal. They both can't stretch this long than a few weeks." Aman assured Payal before ending the call.

Aman decided to talk to Arnav and reached his room.

"Aman if you are here to talk about her, then leave from here." Arnav warned Aman.

"Yes, I'm here to talk about Khushi and i won't go without talking to you."

"I don't want to talk to you or anyone and don't interfere in my life."

"I will interfere in your life because Payal is my girlfriend and she is hurt. You warned me not to hurt Payal because you don't want to see Khushi getting worried for her. Now I'm standing in your shoes and you can't shut me out like this."

"Aman, we are adults and we know how to solve it. Just don't make it hard for us. I will tell you everything later. For now give me some space and peace." He said feeling fed up by all that things happening in his life. He sat there with his holding his forehead. Arnav heard the door being shut and closed his eyes.

He laid down on the bed thinking about everything that happened in these days. His thoughts were interrupted by a phone call.

"Chote." Arnav heard his nani calling him from the other side of the phone.

"Are you okay chote?" The elderly woman asked him.

"I'm okay nani."

"You don't sound good, what happened to you? I saw the match and you seems to be lost. What is the problem chote?" Devayani asked her grandson.

"Nani, I'm prefectly fine and these things happens." He tried to convience her.

"Is everything okay between you and Khushi bitiya?" Her question triggered Arnav.

"Nani, let's not talk about it."

"Chote, something is not right. Did you had any fight with her?"

"Nani, i dont want to talk about i and I will call you later." Saying this he cut the call not wanting to hear about Khushi.

Devayani looked at the phone and understood that something happened between the couple. She recalled the day she meet the Khushi who brought happiness into his life.

Flashback

Two years back

Arnav got a simple fracture on his toe while playing a match. At that time Khushi is working in Goa as an art intern. She  is in middle of an exhibition and isn't aware about his injury. He too didn't disclose his condition as he wanted her to concentrate on the exhibition. The doctor cast a plaster on his leg and adviced him bed rest. Devayani brought Arnav to her house to look after him. Khushi came to know about his condition through one of her colleague. She felt angry knowing that he hide about his condition. Soon Khushi left to Pune to meet him without letting him know about it.

Devayani got a call from the security that a girl is seeking permission to see Arnav. She wondered who that person is. Nobody knew that Arnav is here. Devayani told the security to let the girl in. Khushi entered the Raizada mansion and Devayani stood in front of her with a confused face.

"Bitiya, how do you know that he is here?" She enquired her.

"He told me, can I meet him?" She asked searching for Arnav.

"What is you name?" Devayani asked her.

"Khushi."

"How do you know him?"

"We studied in the same college." She told her and saw him sitting in the hall along with some boys.

"Chote, someone is here to see you." Arnav turned his head and saw his angel standing next to his nani. Khushi saw the plaster on his leg and tears started to trail down from her eyes. Arnav stand up as she reached next to him. At that moment, she forgot about everything around her and hugged him tight burying her face onto his chest. She cried holding his tshirt while he stroked her hair with a smile. He supported himself with a hand and leg while holding her with the other hand. They were so lost in eachother that they failed to notice the five other people standing around them.

"I'm okay baby. Shh, stop crying." He consoled her.

"I hate you...i hate you so much." She said in between in between her sob. He smiled at her words and patted her shoulder. Her sob got subsided and they came back to reality. Khushi realised her action and lowered her head because of embarrassment. She couldn't control her emotions when she saw his leg.

"Nannav, you have a girlfriend?" Nandkishore asked sounding as if it's the eighth wonder in the world.

"Yes and let me introduce her. This is my Khushi and we are in relationship for the past five years."

"So you are not a gay!!!" Dhruv asked.

Dhruv

"Well, she is a girl which proves that I'm not a gay." He said wrapping his arms around her which she tried to push away.

"Are you really his girlfriend bitiya?" Devayani asked with disbelief.

"Yes, we are in a relationship. I'm sorry that I came here without any notice. When I got to know about his accident, i couldn't control myself from here." Khushi told everyone. Arnav introduced the other people present there.

"You have already met my nani. This is my mamaji and mamiji, Manohar Singh Raizada and Manorama Singh Raizada. They are my cousins Nandkishore and Dhruv. NK is the one who is in charge of the gym and Dhruv is assisting mamaji in business." Khushi wished everyone with a smile while everyone warmly welcomed her.

"Nani, I'm taking Khushi to my room. Please send something for her to eat." Saying this he walked towards his room holding her hand.

"Is it okay to walk like this?" Khushi asked stopping him.

"Yes, it's totally fine." Saying this he started walking towards his room without straining his toes along with her. Khushi made him sit on the bed and sat next to him.

"Is my dumbbell angry with me?" He asked holding her hand.

"Yes I'm damn angry on you and I hate you for hiding this from me." She said trying to pull out her hand from his hold. Her eyes got filled with tears as she looked at his plaster and the stictch on his forehead.

"I'm sorry for hiding it. It wasn't a big deal baby. This is just a minor injury and I don't want you to worry about it." He told her.

"Yeah, you did take away my worries by hiding it." She taunts him.

"Baby, i wanted you to concentrate on that exhibition conducted by your organization. That's why I didnt tell you about it. Remember you did the same thing when you get into that accident before your convocation." He explained the situation.

"You very well know how to take tackle everything." She complained and he pecked her lips.

"How did you come here? Why didn't you tell me that you are coming, i would have send you a car."

"Because i was angry on you. Neena dropped me in the airport and then from Pune airport i took a cab. I had the address with me and the driver took me here without any delay. I'm a grown up girl and I'm not afraid to travel alone." She added knowing that her overprotective boyfriend will start his lecture about safety.

"Yeah my grown up girl is capable of doing a lot of things, but don't do this in future." He warned and she chose to ignore his words.

"Are you okay? What did the doctor told you?" She enquired about his injury.

"My toe have a small fracture but nothing serious. He adviced me a month of rest." 

"What about this stitch?"

"It's a small wound, don't worry." He kissed her knuckles.

"I got afraid when I came to know about your injury. Nobody knows the extend of your injury, that's why I came here. Why can't you play without falling?" She complained like a child which made him smile.

"That's common in football baby. You have to accept it."

"Can these things get worse?" He don't want to scare her so he pulled her for a hug. 

"Baby, nothing is going to happen to your laadgovernor. Don't worry about anything. For now worry about your lips and soft skin." He teased her and slammed his lips on her lips, kissing the hell out of her.

"You always take advantage of me." She said as they parted away from the kiss.

"Someone have to take advantage between us." He winked at her and is about to kiss her again when JP came there with refreshments for Khushi. She tried not to look at JP knowing that her lips aren't presentable because of her laadgovernor.

"Have the tea baby. After that we can continue what we were doing." He said handing her tea to her.

"Do you only have that thought in your mind?"

"What's that 'THAT' you mean?" He teased her.

"Nothing, shameless man" muttering that she started to sip her tea.

"Baby, are you going back to Goa today?" He enquired.

"No, I'm going home. My flight is at evening." 

"Okay, I will ask sukhvinder paji to pick you up from airport." Khushi nodded her head and looked around.

"Is this your room?" Khushi asked him.

"No, this is the guestroom. My room is on upstairs."

"Ohh...hmm, do you think that your family liked me?"

"Baby, nobody can hate you. They are surprised to see you because they never expected a girl in my life." 

"I knew that you are rich but not this rich." She said awkwardly which made him smile. She placed the cup back on the table and looked here and there.

"I'm not rich but my mamaji is rich. What do i have to do with that?" He questioned her.

"Ohh… it's just.. this house is big." She tried to rectify the tongue slip. Arnav took hold of her hand and kissed her knuckles.

"Come closer." He said patting the place next to him. Khushi moved closer and sat next to him. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and entwined their hands.

"Baby, don't do this money thing. Both of us know that money isn't everything. You have everything i dont have and that's makes your laadgovernor a poor boy."

"My laadgovernor isn't a poor guy. He have everything." She told him and pulled his moustache.

"Ouch, don't do that. I don't know why you always pull my facial hair leaving my hair down there." He teased her for pulling his moustache.

"Chi shameless man. How can you say like that? You should get a filter on your mouth." She lightly slapped his lips with a finger.

"Then that filter is going to get blocked with all those sinfully words. Won't you miss my shameless words?" 

"No, i will be at peace then."

"Sorry to disappoint you then, I'm not going to get a filter ever in my life. I will be forever your shameless laadgovernor." He said biting her earlobes.

"I know that I signed up for a shameless laadgovernor." She pouted at him and he flickered his nose with his nose.

"Baby, you know when i get the injury it was hard for me to walk and I jumped around in a leg. Then i got this plaster and need some help. It is little hard to move around with this. All these made me realise how hard it was for you when you had lost your leg." He cupped her face and stroked her cheeks.

"You were and are a strong girl and I'm proud to be your man." He said placing a kiss on her forehead.

"I won't leave you for anything in this world baby. Be with me forever."

"I will be always with my laadgovernor." She said placing a kiss on his clean shaven cheek. After a few minutes Devayani called Khushi to have lunch with them. Arnav insisted his nani that he too will have food with everyone.

They were sitting around the table when Anjali and her husband Prajul Tomar came there. Both of them looked at everything and then at the girl sitting next Arnav. 

"Choti, you here all of a sudden?" Devayani asked her grand daughter.

"Me and Prajul wanted to know how chote is. That's why we are here." Anjali said and moved next to Arnav.

"Chote how are you feeling now? Papa told me everything." 

"I'm good Anjali. Let me introduce someone to both of you. This is my Khushi." He said holding her hand and Khushi smiled at her and Prajul.

"And baby, this is Anjali and her husband Prajul." They got shocked hearing him calling her baby.

"Is she your  friend?" Anjali asked raising her eyebrows.

"His girlfriend Di." Said Dhruv to his elder sister.

"What?? Chote, you didn't tell me anything. How can you do this to me." Anjali complaint like a child.

"First of all stop calling me chote. I'm six months older than you." Arnav whined like a child.

"So what, i used to call you chote from childhood itself." Anjali said taking a seat and pulled her husband next to her.

"So Arnav, when did all these happened?" Prajul asked Arnav.

Prajul

"Five years ago. We studied in the same college but on different departments. She was my junior."

"Arnav beta, why didn't you tell anything to us?" Manohar asked Arnav as JP served the food.

"I thought i will tell you once she get over with her studies." That's when he noticed JP who is about to serve cabbage dish on her plate.

"JP, don't serve her cabbage, she don't eat that." Everyone kelt staring at him as if he had grown horns.

"Omg...nannav is damn caring." NK said looking at both of them dreamily.

"Shut up NK." Arnav scolded him.

"But you guys passed out three years back." Anjali questioned.

"Khushi then joined art school to become an artist. The painting i gifted to nani on her birthday three three years back were her work." Saying this he pointed at the painting hanging on the wall. Everyone looked at the painting and then at Khushi who sat there uncomfortable.

"Khushi bitiya, that is an awesome painting. You are an excellent artist." Devayani complemented.

"Thank you ma'am" 

"I'm your Arnav's nani, so address me as nani bitiya."

"Ji nani." Khushi said looking at her plate filled with food. She looked at Arnav drawing his attention towards the plate and shook her head in displeasure. He understood what she meant and shook her head in disagreement.

'Laadgovernor, always force feed me.' she muttered in her head.

"So Khushi, what do you do?" Prajul asked Khushi.

"I'm working as an art intern in Goa now."

"What about your family? Does they know about your relationship?" He asked.

"Jeejaji, let her eat in peace. Don't make her uncomfortable by questioning." Arnav jumped in defence seeing her being uncomfortable.

"As for your questions, yeah she have a lovely family and they know me but don't know about our relationship. That's all." Arnav said and concentrated back on to his plate. All of them steal glance of Arshi while having food. They can't believe that it's the Arnav who always had anger on his nose tip. Devayani got to see the glimpse of Arnav which got buried under the trauma he went through. She understand that this girl hold a lot of value in her grandson's life than anyone else.

Among all of them one person sat there with a lot of question and doubt in his mind. Prajul Tomar is a businessman who don't trust anyone that easy. Being a brother figure for Arnav, he have his doubts about Khushi. Anjali met Prajul when she went to complete her studies in Harvard. Prajul look after the new york branch of DK group of industries. He along with Anjali manages its while his father carry out the operations in India.

They were sitting in hall when Prajul noticed something unusual about her foot. Her feet look different from each other.

"Khushi, your feet look different from eachother." Prajul told Khushi and everyone kept staring at her feet.

"Hmm, I'm an amputee and that's why it look different." Khushi told them and glance at Arnav who held her hand in his hand.

"She don't have a leg?" Dhruv asked to confirm.

"That's what amputee means Dhruv. She lost her right leg in an accident when she was a child. Now she have prosthetic leg. Is there anything you want to know?" He enquired them. He turned towards NK and asked if he is free to drop Khushi at airport. NK agreed to drop Khushi off in the airport.

"Okay, then I'm talking Khushi to my room." Arnav announced and moved towards his room.

"Arnav, you are on bed rest. You shouldn't have moved around." Khushi adviced sitting next to him on the bed.

"Well I can't kiss you in front of everyone, so i had to do it." He winked at her and she rolled her eyes at him.

"Now let me kiss you." Saying this he moved closer to her. He is about to kiss her when Khushi covered her lips with her hand.

"What the!!"

"Don't do what the now. Let me do something before the kiss." Saying this she took out a red thread from her bag.

"Ahh, not you too." He said showing the thread on his right hand.

"You nani tied this?" 

"Yes, she got this for me when she came to the hospital."

"You are lucky that I'm not going to tie this on this hand."

"That's great. I will keep it with me for now." Arnav said feeling happy that he don't have to wear it.

"No, i meant I'm going to tie this on your other hand. Show me your left hand."

"What the need for this baby? Do you really think that these thread can protect me?" He questioned her.

"I knew that you don't believe in it. Just wear it for my peace of mind. You can untie it once you remove the plaster. So can I tie it on your left hand?" She asked holding the red thread which had a hamsa pendent on it. He smiled at her and forwarded his hand. With a bright smile she tied the thread on his hand while reciting the kabbalah prayer.

"Ben Porat Yoseph Ben Porat Aley Ayin,

Hamalach Hagoel Oti Mickol Ra Yevarach Et Ha'Nearim Veyikare

Bahem Shemi Veshem Avotay Avraham Ve Yitzhak Veyidgu Larov Bekerev Ha'aretz"

She tied seven knots while reciting the prayer for seven times. 

"Happy now?" He asked looking at the red threads on his hands.

"Very much." Saying this she placed kisses on his cheeks and hugged him.

"Don't get into accidents again. I don't want to see you like this." Arnav smiled at her silly demand and stroked her head.

"Just be with me, i will be fine." He said dropping a kiss on her head. Khushi cupped his face and kissed him taking him by surprise. Soon he reciprocated the kiss with equal passion making her moan his name.

"Happy now?" Khushi asked with a smirk on her face.

"Blissful." He said hugging her closer. 

Arnav instructed NK to drive slowly and stay in the airport till her flight get take off. Each time they were taken aback by seeing the lover side of Arnav. From his actions it's evident that Khushi holds so much importance in his life. He wanted to accompany them to airport but Khushi asked him to take rest which he obeyed after a small argument. NK and Khushi made a rapport within the little time. Khushi liked the cheerful nature of NK and his respect for Arnav. NK understood that Khushi loves Arnav dearly and that made him happy. He was surprised when he got to knew that she knew his past.

"You know Khushiji, in childhood Nannav was the role model for us. He was a polite boy with good academics. We used to play a lot when we all met together. Dadi and papa used to tell us to be like Nannav, then everything changed after bua's death. Nannav changed into a different person and we were even afraid to approach him when he came to stay with us. Today i got to witness a glimpse of that Nannav I knew. Khushiji, be like this with him because he have suffered a lot in his life because of his parents." NK poured out his heart and Khushi promised him that she will love his Nannav the way he deserved to be loved.

Flashback ends

Devayani prayer that no evilness cast their bad eyes on Arnav and Khushi.
