Nani and Mami including Anjali were shocked hearing Khushi was related to the Mehras and the possible heiress to A&A Designs.

The entire family sat down in that hall listening to Manoj talking about his childhood stories of him and Aahan to Khushi who for first time in her life since her parents death felt whole again.

Arnav looked at Aarav who was on her lap sleeping peacefully with his head on Khushi's shoulder and smiled admiring her.

Since Khushi came to stay with them Aarav has not left Khushi's side the least chance he gets to be with her.

Khushi excused herself and walked upstairs with Aarav on her shoulders.

After a few minutes she came down smiling and sat back at her position and looked up to see Arnav smiling at her and she smiled back shyly.

Their reverie was broken by Hari Prakash walking in with Aditya, Tanu and some policewomen.

Everyone stood up seeing them and was confused but one person gulped in fear.

"Aditya...... You are back?....... But what are you doing here and at this time of the night. " Akash asked and Aditya sighed and hated to be the bearer of bad news.

"Am sorry Akash..... But we are here to arrest your sister. " Aditya said shocking everyone and he signalled Tanu to go ahead and she moved closer to Anjali and grabbed her but the arm.

A crying Anjali was looking around wishing someone could help.

"Aditya.... What are you arresting her for? " Arnav asked looking coldly at Anjali.

"She is arrested for child trafficking. " Gasps erupted in the room. "Your sister bought a child from the couple she claimed she was helping....... We found WhatsApp messages from her to them wanting them to come here and that child she bought was none other than Aarav who happens to be the grandson of the couple. " Aditya revealed shocking everyone.

"We think she planned Aarav's presence in your life. " Tanu revealed shocking and confusing all of them.

Nani moved closer to Anjali with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Why did you do this? " Nani asked calmly but when she didn't get an answer, she yelled. "Answer me Anjali Malik. "

Anjali looked up at her with rage shocking Nani seeing the menacing look in her eyes.

"Yes I did all this...... I used Aarav to get back at him because he stopped fulfilling my wishes and all of a sudden his eyes were open and all because of her" Anjali yelled pointing at Khushi who looked shocked at her. "After he fell in love with this girl he started seeing everything in a different light..... I hated him for not kissing my ass as he always did and I planned to break him. " Anjali exclaimed like a psycho. " Do you know I did Nani. " Anjali smiled looking at Nani. "I met them at the hospital during my prenatal checkup and they wanted to get rid of him because he was a result of an extra martial affair and his mother died giving birth to him....... So I made a deal with them to make Arnav adopt him and after he is emotionally, physically and psychologically attached to Aarav they will show up and snatch him away saying he was kidnapped....... With Khushi gone and Aarav taken away from him, he will break and that will be my revenge against him. " Anjali revealed laughing out loud like a maniac shocking everyone.

"Hello hi bye bye...... Anjali..... You have gone crazy. " Mami exclaimed in shock.

"Yes I have gone crazy....... And it's because of all of you..... If you had done my biddings like before then we won't be in this position today...... Even if I still lose..... I am still a winner and you want to know why. " Anjali said with an evil smirk on her face making everyone confused but Lavanya who had once studied law in college gasped making everyone turn their attention to her.

"Aarav will still be taken away from you during the investigation and there is a possibility your relationship with her will mean you won't get him back. " Lavanya said shocking the family and Anjali clapped.

"Good Lavanya...... I will also add fire to the fuel by saying you made me do it...... And just imagine..... You will lose Aarav forever. " Anjali smirked seeing the pain in her brother's eyes.

Everyone looked shocked at her but she cared less because her goal has been fulfilled.

Aditya signalled Tanu to take her away and she was dragged away laughing.

Aditya turned to the family and moved closer to Arnav.

"Look Arnav..... This young lady is not wrong. " Pointing to Lavanya. " Hire a very good lawyer or else you will lose your son forever..... I will take my leave now." Aditya said and left the family.

Arnav slammed to the ground on his knees and Khushi rushed up to him and hugged him as he cried.

Akash took out his phone and called Mr Roy and Aman.

After a few minutes only sniffs were heard from Arnav which was now sitting on the couch with his head on Khushi's shoulder looking totally broken making everyone sad seeing his state.

Nani tried to get closer to him but one deadly glare from Khushi made her back down.

"ASR. " Lavanya called out and everyone turned their attention to her. "I took law as a minor in college and came across a case exactly like yours as a project...... There is one solution I can give you........ " Everyone became more attentive hearing this. "They will definitely take Aarav away from you unless you can proof he has a complete home. "

"But Lavanya...... Aarav does have a home with all of us. " Payal exclaimed confused.

"Unfortunately Aarav doesn't. " Lavanya replied and paused for a moment and continued. "Aarav lacks a mother........ ASR got his adoption easily become he was financially stable and a renowned person but this revelation could traumatize Aarav and in the eyes of the law a mother is more capable of healing a trauma more than a father...... So here is my solution...... Arnav loves Khushi and Khushi loves Arnav even though they haven't confessed to each other but their actions says it all. " Lavanya said and both looked at each other and back to her. "Get married immediately...... And with Aarav being comfortable with Khushi, it will be much more easier to convince the observers they will definitely send here to access your relationship. " Lavanya concluded and everyone knew she was right.

Aman and Mr Roy rushed in afterwards and sat down.

"Akash told me everything on the phone...... I suggest we start the process to prove Anjali did it out of revenge but you are a good father. " Mr Roy said.

"And I and the team have started strategies to handle the media in the coming days. " Aman continued.

"Lavanya suggested something..... I don't know whether it will work. " Khushi said and proceeded and told Mr Roy who nodded and smiled widely.

"An absolutely brilliant idea...... A friend of mine at the marriage registrar owns me a big favor and I can ask him to see if he can make your two get married early tomorrow morning...... I will be right back. " Mr Roy excused himself and stepped out.

After a few minutes he came back with a huge smile on his face.

"Good news....... He can get you two married early tomorrow morning....... All I need from you two is a shot of your birth certificates and send it to him. "

Arnav and Khushi rushed to their room and come back with their certificates and Mr Roy took a shot of it and sent it to his friend.

"You can all relax for the moment but please all of you meet me at the registrar office early by 7:30 because the sooner the better....... I will take my leave now...... See you tomorrow. " Mr Roy said and shook the hand of Akash, Arnav and Khushi and left with Aman.

"We all better get some sleep now. " Manoj said and they all left to their respective rooms.

Khushi led Arnav to his room and unto his bed but as she was leaving Arnav help her hand and shook his head.

Khushi moved closer and lifted his head and she didn't need words to know he wanted her to stay with him.

She crawled on the bed and into his arms and Arnav kissed her forehead.

He looked straight into her eyes and said.

"I love Khushi..... I know this is not the right moment but I wanted you to know I have always loved you..... And will love you even in death..... You are the only one for me. "

Tears escaped Khushi's eyes hearing his sincere confession.

"I love you too Arnav. " Khushi confessed.

Arnav immediately slammed his lips on hers and the kissed passionately for the first time only pulling out after running out of oxygen.

Arnav them made her lay her head on his chest and both closed their eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

Payal and Akash's Room.

Payal had head head on Akash's shoulder as tears streaming down her cheeks.

"My love.....Stop crying..... I know you are scared that they might take Aarav away from Khushi and bhai....... But please stay strong...... We have to stay strong for them..... Okay....." Akash said and Payal nodded and both laid in bed in each other's arms eagerly waiting for tomorrow.

Lavanya's Room.

Lavanya was about to sleep when she heard a knock on her door and asked the person to enter.

Nk entered and stopped in his track seeing her looking so gorgeous.

He cleared his throat to cover up the embarrassment of being caught staring.

"Em...... I wanted to thank you for helping bhai and Khushi bhabhi." Nk said.

"Don't thank me...... It's the least I can do after what I did in the past..... " Lavanya replied sincerely.

Nk stood there staring at her and scratching the back of his head and Lavanya knew he wasn't done.

"Anything else? " She asked.

"I wanted to ask you if you will go to the registrar office with me tomorrow..... And please don't say no....... " Nk replied nervously and Lavanya smiled and nodded. "And please can you were something yellow...... You look gorgeous in yellow. " Nk concluded and ran out of there leaving a shocked but amused Lavanya behind.

Nani's Room.

She sat in her bed looking at photos of Anjali and Arnav and some of her daughter.

She paused when she saw a picture of Arnav and Ratna.

"Your chote is getting married tomorrow and am not invited because of my biased attitude towards Arnav and Akash..... I favoured Anjali more because I was scared she will end up like and I didn't want that...... But who would have taught it will rather caused so much damage...... I wish Arnav and Khushi all the best and pray Anjali never comes into their lives again. " Nani said and closed the photo album and slept in remorse and regret.

Mami's Room.

Mami sat on her bed staring at the phone in her hands. Once Manohar wouldn't have hesitated to pick her call but seh has been calling him for nearly half an hour and nothing until she got a voice mail from her husband telling her not to call him.

"I deserve it..... I deserve your hate and that of my son and I can't even touch my grandson or pamper him because I was busy trying to fit into the materialistic society and being in the good book of Nani that I forgot you and our son....... Am so sorry Manohar........ Am sorry Akash. " Mami cried and laid on the bed in tears.

The Next Day.

Khushi was the first to wake up and fond Arnav fast asleep while holding her hand.

She looked at him and gently whispered his name making him hum in his sleep and he slowly opened his eyes and smiled at her.

"We have to get ready...... And we have to also wake Aarav up and tell him....... And I was hoping we will do it together." Khushi said and Arnav nodded and both stood up and went into the room of Aarav.

Aarav was already awake watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. He looked up to find his parent looking at him and the both sat on his bed and Arnav lifted him and made him sit on his lap.

"Aarav..... Your mummy and I want to tell you something important. " Arnav said and looked at his parent curiously. "We are getting married today. " Arnav revealed and Aarav widen in eyes in shock but it turned in a huge smile and he jumped off his lap and started bouncing around in happiness.

"Am so happy......" Aarav exclaimed.

"We have to leave to the registrar office in a few minutes so come with me and let's get ready........ And also allow mummy to get ready. " Arnav said and Aarav nodded and they all dispersed to get ready.

After half a hour the men came down with smiles on their faces.

Manoj saw the boys and hugged each of them.

Akash moved closer to Payal and was about to kiss her but Khushav who was in the arms of his mother pushed his face away and snaked his arms around her neck.

"I swear this boy doesn't let me have my moment. " Akash said with a frown looking at Khushav who didn't give a damn about what he said. "She is not your mother alone...... She is also my wife enemy of progress. " Akash said twitching his mouth and the others burst out laughing.

A gasp escaped Payal's mouth seeing Khushi coming down with Preeto, Lavanya and Surbhi and Aarav looking gorgeous in her white saree.

Aarav was also looking adorable in his suit.

Nk couldn't take his eyes off Lavanya.

And he was also happy she wore yellow like he wanted her to and Lavanya also couldn't take eyes of Nk who was looking dashingly handsome.

Akash was also lost in Payal and his son who were looking absolutely gorgeous.

Akash was also looking handsome in his suit and everyone was lost in their respective partner.

Surbhi cleared her throat breaking their reverie and they all looked at her to see Preeto, Shashi,Madhumati and Manoj snickering at them.

"If your romantic stares are over then let's leave..... It's getting late. " Surbhi said and they all moved out with HP following them with the kids food.

Nani and Mami watched on as their cars moved out of the mansion.

"I wish you all the best. " Nani whispered and she and Mami got into the car and also moved out of the house.

They all got to the registrar office and within ten minutes Khushi went form Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta to Mrs Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada.

Everyone congratulated them and Arnav went on his knees making Khushi gasp seeing the sapphire ring in a velvet case.

He held her hand and placed the ring on it and stood up and kissed it.

Everyone clapped in joy at this and Aarav who couldn't hold on anymore went closer to them and hugged them.

"Nannav Mera bhai..... Wow..... You are really fast..... So you got the ring last night. " Nk said but Arnav shook his head no making everyone curious.

"Actually this ring has been with me for the past three years. " The revelation shocked everyone. "I bought it in Dubai when I went on a business trip...... I saw it in a shop and immediately bought it wishing someday Khushi will come back and I will apologize and win her over and then propose to her. " Arnav confessed and Khushi eyes became dewy hearing this.

"And today your wish finally came true. " Preeto said and Arnav nodded.

"Will now it's time for the couple to take a picture........ Nk get your camera ready as I tie this on Arnav's head. " Surbhi said pulling out a clothe from her bag and tied it on Arnav's head.

They then sat down but Arnav lifted Khushi's legs and placed it on his lap as Nk snapped pictures of them.

"Now it's time for celebration...... I have booked a breakfast for us a the Delhi restaurant..... So let's all move there. " Aman said as Nk finished taking the pictures and they all happily moved out of there not knowing a deadly storm is about to hit them.
