Arnav looked up in surprise seeing Garima standing before him, she is apprehensive and nervous....he looked around, then turning to face her 'Khushi is not here'

Garima 'I know'

His face took the expression of confusion. Garima 'I'm here to talk to you'

Arnav 'Talk to me'

Garima 'Yes, About....about your father and my....*she paused, his eyes turned stony* I was seventeen when my and your father's path crossed each other. I was teenager then....the age where most of the girls would dream of prince charming. I too was one among them. Your dad approached me....he said he liked me. And I fell for his charm. I was nave seventeen your old then and what will I know about the cruel world. I did not know he was married either he has children. He did not tell me. One day your Dadi saw us and she came to meet me. Through her I came to know your father is playing with me and is cheating not only me but your mother too. I cut the ties with him and his relationship. I could not wreck someone's life. It is not me. I've that much conscious in me to not go against my moral and have a relationship with a married man. I never saw him again....I never gave him the chance. And after few months I came to know he died along with your mother commiting suicide. I was too shocked to hear the news. Your dadi had called me to Sheeshmahal and blamed me for all the reason. Trust me, I did not meet him at all and I'm sure your mother has not seen me with him on your sister's marriage day. As soon as I came to know his true color I stepped away from his life and path. I'm saying you all this is because I don't want tomorrow your Dadi or anyone to come again and instigate against me and Khushi. I don't care about me but I came for my Khushi. I can't see her in pain. I will not be able to see her break again.'

Arnav 'I....I.....' he is at loss of words...he don't know what to say?

Garima looking at him with determined and steeled eyes said in dead pan voice 'I've said what I had to confess to you....it is upto you to believe or not. But remember this I'll take anything which comes my way but not my daughters. And if you hurt Khushi again then be ready to face me' she left the room not looking back once.

Arnav pondered on Garima's tale on what happened all those years ago....he knew his father very well and his character and can see and understand it is all his fault his mother and Garima got betrayed but....but why did Dadi put blame on Garima aunty? His mind rebuked him as if she will need a chance....she just need a reason and she will blame others covering her sons deed. Wished he never heard what his Dadi said and reached the altar earlier even before the mishap occurred....maybe...maybe he and Khushi would not have to go through all that pain.

Arnav was working something on the newspaper when Khushi came inside the room, seeing him marking something on the newspaper she asked him curiously 'Arnav ji what are you doing?'

Arnav 'I'm...nothing' Khushi came towards him and snatched the newspaper from his hand. Before he could stop she looked at the page which he was reading and marking something on it.

She looked at him shocked 'you are searching for job? Why?'

Arnav 'What why? I have to work to earn money. How can I sit at home all day?'

Khushi 'Arnav ji why you need to work outside when you have your own company AR'

Arnav 'Don't forget it Khushi, AR is your, Akash and Di's company. I've no rights on it' he said it and left the room to poolside. Khushi looked at his retreating back whispering painfully 'how can you Arnav ji? Even though you had transferred your share on my name it does not mean everyone forget how you are the same person who with his hardship built AR from scratch'

Next Day,

Arnav 'Khushi what is this?'

Khushi 'Arnav ji this is suit. One of the suit from many which you used to wear for your office'

He looked at her confused. Khushi 'we are going to office, AR'

Arnav 'No!!!'

Khushi 'What no? you are coming with me, that's it. No argument. You will have to come otherwise I'll sell my all share in the market'

Arnav looked at her shocked. Khushi 'don't underestimate me'

Arnav 'You are blackmailing me lot'

Khushi 'For our own goodness. Will you not want to be with me?' she asked him with such innocence it hurt him lot.

Arnav kept quiet, Khushi 'please for me. I and AR needs you, Like Khushi is nothing without her Arnav ji the same way AR is nothing without Arnav Singh Raizada'

Employees should in shock seeing Arnav Singh Raizada enter inside AR after one whole year. He did not look at anyone instead left with Khushi towards his cabin. The cabin was same, with only addition there was a chair beside his.

Khushi looking at his questioning gaze 'Only you have the right to sit on the chair of CEO'

He was touched by her words, she guide him to his chair and made him sit, while calling Aman on his intercom.

Aman entered the cabin and looked at Arnav. His throat choked seeing his boss finally back. Khushi smiled at him 'Aman ji Arnav ji will wish to know what happened in this past one year in AR and there is no other person best than you. Go ahead. *turning to Arnav* I'll go down and send something for you.'

Khushi left them alone. Both the men looked at each other in silence. Aman then cleared his throat 'ASR..........' And he explained what all happened in AR, the deals, profit..........Aman stood up and nervously held his file. Arnav 'do you want to say something?'

Aman 'ASR!!! How are you?'

Arnav was touched by his concern. He got up and went over to Aman hugging him, Aman got surprise of his life. Arnav patting his back left him saying 'I'm okay and Thank You for being with Khushi'

Aman 'It was my job and responsibility ASR'

Arnav nodded his head. Aman 'ASR in an hour meeting will start on the new deal.'

Arnav 'I'll be there' Aman left his cabin after giving the file containing details of the new deal.

Akash and NK looked at each other seeing Arnav coming inside the conference room with Khushi. All took their seat. The meeting was held with the higher official of the company and it started with the presentation from one of the designer.

All looked and heard attentively on the presentation with noting down the pros and cons they found in this. Presentation came to end and all started giving their opinion.

But Khushi was enraged with the way Akash and NK were behaving, they were not letting Arnav to say his points. Khushi stopped everyone and requested Arnav to tell what is he thinking. Akash 'But Khushi ji he is not working in this company or he is related to this deal. How will he know?'

Khushi 'That's it. Aman call Mr. Roy, NOW!!!'

In few minutes Roy came, Khushi 'Roy can you please read the new changes been made in AR'

Roy 'According to the will, Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada has re-transferred her shares on Arnav Singh Raizada's name.'

Khushi looked at everyone 'And I've all the rights to transfer my shares on my husband's name which rightfully belong to him. Now continue with the meeting'

Khushi left the conference room. She knew Arnav will have lot of question for her.

Meeting continued with nothing much to talk.

Arnav 'Khushi, what is the need of this? How can you?'

Khushi 'Arnav ji you want to see me independent and I'm independent. I was just waiting for the day to return you the shares of AR. I was just guarding it, fulfilling the responsibility you have given to me. Arnav ji I have my own KASR catering Service Company running successfully, this fashion and all is not my cup of tea and I'm giving it back to the rightful owner. AR is yours and I'll not like it otherwise. Waise what is yours is mine too. Kya farak padtha hai aapke naam pe ho ya mere naam pe'

Arnav 'Khushi!!!' Khushi hugged him tight whispering 'I can't see them treat you as nothing. I want the old ASR back. Will you give me my laad governor back? Please'

Arnav 'your wish my command' she giggled.

Raizada Kitchen,

Arnav glancing at her smirked, Khushi glared at him while he chuckled looking at her pouting face.

She peeped looking into the pan, her head craned like duck from where she is sitting, above kitchen couter slab.

Arnav 'Khushi!!! Stay put'

She huffed 'Arnav ji let me do this all....why are you doing it?'

Arnav 'Why? Do you fear I'll make something bad?'

His hands working continuously frying something in the pan. Khushi 'Naah....but why you? I would have done it na'

Arnav 'Just chill meri Pyaari Patni ji....I do know a little of some cooking. Remember my restaurant adventure.....*Khushi's face darkened hearing his words*' both remembering the time when she found him as a waiter in the restaurant. Khushi gulped stiffening her sob only Devi Maya knows what other odd jobs he did.

Seeing her getting upset, he came to her cupping her cheek 'It is okay Khushi. It is a past now'

Khushi 'A past where you struggled and I was not there for you'

He smiled ruefully 'Struggling is not new thing for me. I struggled for many things in my life be it for earning, accepting my past, accepting my feelings.....all through I every time struggled for one or the other thing'

She hugged him fiercely; he patting her back pulled away from the hug....saying in a mock tone 'Mrs. Laadgovernor my food will burn if I'll not see to it. And today I want to serve my wife delicious food not the burnt one'

She laughed wiping her tears 'Who stopped you?' he raised his eye brows, she chuckling pushed him towards the gas stove....she looked with adoration seeing him cook something for her.

Everyone looked at the scene wide eye, Arnav Singh Raizada cooking who never in the past has known the direction of the kitchen unless otherwise he wants something.

Arnav 'Madam ji your dish is ready......Tasty tasty....Sweet Corn Vada'

Khushi breaking a small piece, dipping it in the green chutney, putting inside her mouth she chewed. Arnav looked at her eagerly 'I do hope it is tasty'

Khushi her eyes bright as diamond 'Tasty...it is very very very tasty....simply superb Arnav ji'

She put some in his mouth too. Laughing she attacked the vada relish the taste.....unique so filled with her husbands love for her.

Mami was ready to faint seeing it 'Hello hi bye bye....what is happening inside this house?'

Buaji 'good he is keeping her happy, otherwise he would not like to mess with me. I'll show him who Madhumathi is Nandhkishore' Anjali patting her arm left with Nani too shocked to believe the scene before their eyes.
