"You're wetting my shirt now" Arnav said after he managed to shift from his not so usual emotional zone to his comfort zone, the cold and emotionless side of ASR. 

Anjali frowned on hearing the change on his tone and body language, she moved back breaking their hug and slapped his right arm, glaring at him: I'm crying here and you're more concerned about your damn shirt!

"You're a cry baby.. that's no breaking news now.. Instead of slapping that good for nothing husband of yours for manhandling you, you chose to cry like a dramatic movie heroine!" he rolled his eyes taunting her.

"You're seriously the most irritating man on earth" Anjali gritted her teeth.

"I know you like me" Arnav smirked, "That's why you chose this irritating man over your sweet husband, right?" he asked with a confident tone.

"You called me, that's why I came" Anjali shrugged and averted her gaze from him.

Before Arnav could come up with a befitting reply, Anjali cocked her head to the left side and stare at Khushi standing three feets behind them with surprised look, "Khushi.. You here at this hour?"

Arnav frowned slightly on hearing Khushi's name, he turned back and saw indeed she was there standing beside Aayu with a soft smile playing on her lips. Like always - Looking beautiful even with a major touch of simplicity on her look.

He limped towards her but soon was stopped by the stern tone of the two ladies present there.

"Arnav" Khushi and Anjali send him a long and threatening glare that made him stop immediately, not fearing their scoldings but their nonstop lecture after that.

Khushi rushed to him, while Anjali helped him with the crutches, that were laid on the floor.

"Thanks" mumbled Arnav to Anjali, as he took the support of the crutches to stand firm without putting weight on his fractured leg, then his eyes turned to Khushi again, "Is everything alright?"

Khushi nodded her head, "Yes"

"Why did you came here then?" he asked curious.

Khushi bit her lips shyly, and widened her eyes at him for asking such question in front of Anjali and Aayu, "Let me take you to your room..We'll talk there"

Arnav nodded.

"I'll take Anjali bua with me to the living room.." Aayu said and held Anjali's hand dragging her with him to the living room so that his Uncle and Kushie get to talk with each other in private and he could continue his chat with Nani, Nana, Mama and Mami. 

"Naughty" Arnav mumbled staring at his little boy disappearing figure.

"I can't believe he's just five.. He thinks like an adult sometimes" Khushi giggled.

"I wonder what's in store for me in future with this big naughty and mischievous boy.. Just imagine when he starts school next year.. I'm going to be in trouble for sure" Arnav said as they headed to his room.

"Aww.. he'll look so cute with school uniform and you a handsome daddy dropping him at school everyday" Khushi beamed.

"Before this beautiful perfect scene, I would be running behind him like a crazy man to convince him to get dressed in his school uniform, then hurriedly make him have his breakfast while he shows his tantrums to me and finally reach late at my office but always make sure he reaches on time at his school" Arnav said while she helped him lay his legs on the bed and sat on his bed, facing him.

Khushi giggled, "Don't worry.. You won't suffer with Aayu when I'm here.. I will always make sure he wakes up early, get ready and have his breakfast in time.. You only have to drop him at school.. I can pick him up when his classes finish, then I'll pamper him with delicious dishes for his lunch, help him with homework and play with him then-"

She stopped speaking when she realized Arnav was staring at her with an amused smile playing on his lips. She too smiled back at him.

"Aayu is lucky to have found his mother again in you, Khushi" Arnav said.

"Mother? No.. I can never replace his mother's place in his heart.. nor my love for him can ever be compared to the love of his mother.." Khushi shook her head, taken aback by his words.

"I know that but still for me, you're his second mother.. He smiled for the first time after his parents death because of you.. I will never forget this in my life.." Arnav said.

"Let's suppose you had a girlfriend before I came in your life. Would you still consider me as Aayu's mother?" Khushi asked curiously.

Arnav nodded with a shrug, "Why not? If you see Dai ma is an old maid of our family, but I don't treat her like one.. because I see her as one of my family member.."

"But the best thing is you're my Tomato and Aayu's Kushie as well" Arnav said, raising her right hand to drop a soft kiss on her palm.

Khushi hmm-ed smiling shyly at him.

"So, were you missing me?" Arnav smirked.

"You were missing me Mr. Raizada" Khushi stressed poking his chest.

"I just came to wish you Goodnight.. I need to rush.. Aman, La and Meera are waiting for me outside" Khushi said.

"What about NK, Akash and Payal?" Arnav asked worriedly.

"They must be coming.. actually they stopped on the way to have ice cream.." Khushi said.

Arnav nodded, "Okay"

"Bye then.." Khushi smiled as she got up from his bed.

"Is this how you wish Goodnight to me?" Arnav stare at her frowning.

"Hmm.." Khushi nodded feigning innocence.

Arnav gave her Oh-really look.  Khushi couldn't help but chuckle at him, she bend and dropped a quick kiss on his cheek, "Bye.. Goodnight"

The kiss was as quick as her disappearance from the room.

Arnav smile faintly to himself, shaking his head in disbelief at how Khushi feels shy to even give him a Goodnight kiss.

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

At the living room..

"Kushie you're leaving already? Stay back for some more time please" Aayu ran towards her and hugged her legs, looking up to her with his best cute puppy face.

Khushi knelt down and cupped his face, "I really wish to spend more time with you Aayu but it's late now.. Lavanya and Meera are also waiting for me outside.. They must be tired and want to go back home to jump on their beds and directly fall in to a deep sleep.. but tomorrow I promise I'll spend more time with you only okay?"

Aayu nodded his head, as he gently moved a strand of hair blocking his view on her face.

Khushi smiled heartily feeling his tiny soft fingers touch on her face.

"Hello hi bye bye.. You will come here tomorrow as well Karela's girlfriend?" Mami asked curiously.

Khushi shifted her attention to Mami, while her hands circled around her baby boy's waist from behind, in response Aayu leaned his back on her chest comfortably and kept his hands above hers.

"Ji nahin.. Tomorrow I planned with Aayu and Arnav to visit an orphanage and spend time with the kids over there.." Khushi replied.

"Great for you three who already planned what to do tomorrow.. Our Sunday here is no Fun-Day but a Run-Day with Prayers-Temple-Cooking for breakfast-Visit relatives-Make coffee for every men of this house-Massage Sasuma's always tired legs- Stitch husband's old pajama kurtas-Serve dinner for everyone-last but not the least, serve sweet for everyone because it's Sweet Sunday also!" Mami pouted boringly.

Anjali covered her mouth to control herself from laughing out loud in front of Nani.

Khushi listened to her list of complaints amused, feeling bad for Mami, she thought to invite the whole family to the orphanage, "If you want then you all can join us"

Mami beamed at the invitation she got from Khushi.

"No, thank you.. We already have our plans for tomorrow" Nani cleared her throat and spoke before Mami accepted the invitation in her excitement.

"What plans?" Nana raised his one eyebrow.

"That's none of your concern" Nani narrowed her eyes at him.

Nana rolled his eyes, "And that's never going to be my concern you Witch.. I'm just feeling bad for the English Chicken.. I know you have nothing special to do tomorrow, so let not only Chicken (Mami) but your family go and enjoy with the kids at the orphanage.. Also you keep praying everyday, can't you do a simple good deed in your life by spending time with the orphan kids who needs our love and care, more than anything?"

Nani open her mouth slightly to reply but found herself tongue tied, not having enough valid points to win this argument against Nana.

"We should Nani ji .. there's nothing wrong to spend our Sunday in a different way than the usual" Anjali said in a soft and convincing tone.

"Okay.." Nani said in a low tone, accepting defeat unwillingly.

Nana smirked in victory, then glanced at Khushi, "So Pretty girl we all will be there with you tomorrow"

Khushi flashed a cute smile to him. Aayu took the opportunity to drop a loud kiss on Khushi's cheek.

Anjali, Mami, Mama and Nana giggled at his cute antics.

"Aayu has some similar traits of Arnav, right Pretty Girl?" Nana asked teasingly to Khushi.

Khushi smiled shyly, while everyone except Nani laughed at her face. Nani just couldn't understand why her great grandson gives attention and spends more time with a cook instead of his own family, who shifted from Sheesh Mahal to Shantivan just because of him. 

"I've to go now.. bye Baby.. Goodnight and sweet dreams" Khushi pecked Aayu's cheek and stood up staring at everyone, "Bye.. see you all tomorrow"

"Bye.." everyone except Nani waved at her smiling, "Take care okay.. Call Arnav once you reach home" Anjali added concernedly.

Khushi nodded her head smiling.

"Do call Annav uncle before you sleep Kushie.. I want to hear your voice" Aayu said looking up to her.

"Okay.. I will call him before I sleep.." Khushi nodded, brushing his hair with her fingers.

"I will wait for you Kushie.." Aayu whispered, hugging her legs tightly.

Khushi looked down at him with moist eyes now. Her heart felt heavy for leaving him in this state.

"Aayu.." she whispered not knowing what to say.

"Aayu baby.. let Khushi go.. tomorrow you'll meet with her again" Anjali came to her rescue.

Aayu took a step back, and rubbed his moist eyes vigorously, "Why do you always have to go home? Why don't you stay here with me?"

As soon as Khushi realized he was feeling like crying, she lifted him in his arms and kissed him all over his face, "Baby please don't do this to your Kushie.. I also want to stay with you for forever.. and trust me.. our wish will be fulfilled one day.."

"When? When you get married to Annav uncle?" Aayu asked, his big round cute eyes reflecting the innocence of his heart.

"Hmm.." Khushi nodded her head, quite embarrassed to be replying in the presence of Raizadas, who cleared their throats and glanced at each other with teasing smiles.

"What is the date of your marriage Kushie? I'll keep counting and waiting till that day for you to come and stay with me" Aayu beamed at Khushi's reply.

"Err.. I.. Your uncle must know that.. You should ask him only" Khushi stammered nervously. Aayu was literally leaving her speechless with his direct questions.

"Okay.. I'll go and ask him now.." Aayu said.

"Great.." Khushi smiled in relief, "I'll see you tomorrow.. Okay? And don't cry please.. I'm always with you and never going to leave your side"

Aayu nodded his head. Khushi put him down on the floor and waved at him and Raizadas, before walking towards the door hurriedly as she knew Aman, Lavanya and Meera must be complaining by now. 

************************************************************************
Few minutes later..

Shyam descended the stairs and gulped seeing Anjali watching a movie with Nana, Nani and Mama. She was sitting beside Nana, with her head rested on his shoulder and lost in her thoughts.

"Rani Sahiba" he whispered, trying to sound and look guilty for his deeds.

Anjali looked up to him startled with his presence in the living room.

He rushed to her and sat on his knees, acting like he didn't care about his surroundings when he was fully aware that Raizadas were watching him curious to know what happened between them and it would surely work as benefit for him while pacifying Anjali. 

"What are you doing? Please get up" Anjali looked at everyone, then at him disturbed by his actions.

"No, I won't get up till you forgive me.. Please forgive me Rani Sahiba.. I shouldn't have talked with you rudely and manhandled you.. I'm really sorry.. I don't know what happened to me.. maybe it's work pressure.. and also pressure to prove myself as good person to Arnav, Nana ji, NK and Aayu.. they don't like me and it's constantly disturbing me that I'm not able to do anything to change their opinion about me.." Shyam cried, resting his head on Anjali's lap.

"Anjali bitiya what happened? Why is Shyam bitwa crying?" Nani asked worriedly.

"Crocodile's tears are always fake!" Nana mocked rolling his eyes.

And his taunt worked like an reminder for Anjali who slowly had her heart melting for her husband. Her hand that raised to caress his hair halted on air as she clenched her fist and looked away.

"You shut up.. Don't try to break Anjali bitiya's marriage" Nani glared at him.

"Nani please.. Don't fight with Nana because of us.." Anjali sighed.

"Haan.. We won't fight but at least talk with Shyam bitwa.. He's asking you forgiveness and crying on your lap.. forgive him bitiya.. not everyone is lucky like you to have a husband like him" Nani said concernedly.

Shyam thanked Nani mentally for supporting him, he cried even more, "Please forgive me Rani Sahiba.. I love you so much.. I can't live without you.. I won't be able to sleep knowing that you're angry with me"

Anjali made him look at her and Shyam thought his job is easily done.

"We need to talk-"

"Yeah sure.. Let's go to our room first" Shyam interrupted her, nodding his head eagerly.

"But tomorrow" Anjali said with an expressionless face.

Shyam frowned slightly before composing himself and smiled weakly to her, "As your wish Rani Sahiba.. but I guess you're tired by now, so shall we go to sleep?"

"Shyam ji I think you need to sleep.. You seem to be very disturbed" Anjali said sounding a bit sarcastic.

"Anjali bitiya go with him" Nani said, signaling Anjali to follow Shyam to their room. Shyam smiled slightly in relief for having Nani who was indirectly helping him in this situation.

"Silly Witch.. Stop interfering in Wife-husband's matters.." Nana glared at her, "This is actually your family's habit of poking their nose in every couple's matters.. You learned it from them.. and that's why we got divorced!"

"Don't bring my family in between.. They're good people who always wished happiness for others.. They actually saved me from you" Nani argued, staring sharply at him. 

Taking opportunity of this moment, Anjali whispered to Shyam: Just go to sleep Shyam ji.. we will talk calmly tomorrow..

"But what about you?" he asked.

"I won't sleep with you today" Anjali said.

"But why? You just forgave me. What happened?" Shyam asked. 

"I didn't forgive you yet.. Stop making your own assumptions.." Anjali frowned.

"Rani Sahi-"

"Shyam ji please! Just go!" Anjali said sternly and Shyam stood up in defeat leaving to their room.

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

After a quick shower, Khushi changed into her night suit and sat on her bed, brushing her hair lazily with her fingers but when her phone beeped, she bid goodbye to her hair in seconds as she grabbed her phone grinning widely to herself while reading the reply she got from her Karela for informing him that she reached home as soon as she stepped out of Aman's car.

Arnav: Good.. Now take a quick shower with warm water.. but before going to sleep, call me.. Aayu is waiting for your call..

Khushi: So late reply! I already took shower 😒

Khushi waited eagerly for Arnav's reply with the phone glued to her both hands, when Meera suddenly jumped on her bed making her gasp in response.

"Meera have you gone mad? What's this behavior?" Khushi yelled furrowing her brows, her heart beat faster as she still under shock.

Meera giggled, "Relax Di.. I didn't mean to scare you at all.. and it's really not my fault that you're chatting with your special someone that you literally didn't felt my presence in the room"

Khushi took a deep breath, before flashing a confident smile on her lips and replied fearlessly to Meera: He's indeed very special.. when I chat with him then I completely forget about my surroundings!

Meera widened her eyes gasping, "So.. you're actually dating someone? Who's he Di? Tell me please.. I'm so curious"

Meera pleaded pretending to be unaware of Khushi's relationship with Arnav.

"Meera just stop it.. Don't force her.." Lavanya walked in hurry, to save her best friend from disclosing her secret to Meera.

"No La.. It's okay.." Khushi blinked her eyes assuring Lavanya that she now had no problem or fear to reveal her relationship with Arnav to Meera.

"You want to know who he is, right? Then listen.. He's Arnav Singh Raizada" Khushi said staring at Meera.

"ASR! Your boss?" Meera asked.

"As if you know another ASR.." Lavanya rolled her eyes.

"Yes my boss" Khushi nodded her head.

"Di you've such an horrible choice.. Did you even see how he treats women? How he shouted and misbehaved with me that day just because I took a simple and harmless selfie on his room? Are you sure you'll be able to handle such man in your life? See this is not only my opinion, but many people think he's rude, arrogant and over confident" Meera said disappointedly.

"Hello.. Come back to earth Meera.. He's one of the most handsome and hot man in this world okay.. Girls go crazy over him.. Just come to AR once and you'll understand who ASR is and what are people's opinion about him" Lavanya rolled her eyes and chuckled mockingly at Meera.

"What people think about him, it doesn't matter to me.. I like him the way he is Meera.. and I'm very happy with him.. whether my choice is good or not, it clearly is my choice and at the end of the day I'm the one dealing with my life.. so let it for me to know what's good or not for me.. you don't need to bother about my choices!" Khushi said pulling Meera's cheek at the end.

"Yeah.. right" Meera faked a smile.

"And can you tell us what is happening between you and NK?" Lavanya sat on the bed, smirking at Meera.

"NK is a good man.. I enjoy spending time with him.. He's so unlike ASR.. he's caring and understanding.. I would have suggested you to date him instead of ASR Di.. but that's not possible now.. because I think he likes me.. he's interested in me.. I'm the one who isn't giving attention to him and treating him as friend till now" Meera said smiling shyly.

Khushi and Lavanya looked at each other suspiciously.

"Forget about me, tell me about you and Aman?" Meera asked teasingly.

"Same story as yours.. He's interested and I'm just treating him as friend only" Lavanya replied.

"Better you treat him as friend only and grab another man in AR for yourself who's rich and handsome like AS- I mean NK.. that Aman is ASR's servant.." Meera said making faces.

"Meera mind your language" Khushi frowned.

"Just shut up Meera.." Lavanya yelled angrily, "You just speak nonsense every time you open your mouth.. better keep your filthy mouth shut.. Aman is an employee like any other person in AR.. he is ASR's PA and there's nothing wrong about doing such job.. at least he's doing a respectful work and earning his salary through his hard work and dedication unlike you who keep demanding everything you want to Khushi and waste her money with useless things, keeps partying till late night and sit home doing nothing like a Princess.. You don't even imagine how much Khushi works hard to earn for herself and achieve her dreams, but you're an obstacle in her path.. You with your never ending demands forced this girl to give up on her dreams of becoming a Master Chef to desperately look for any job just to pay your college fees and handle your demands.. You and your family tortured her to this extent that she had to keep her dreams aside for you, to pay for the so called favours you did for her in past"

"La calm down" Khushi whispered, caressing Lavanya's back. 

Meera was just staring at Lavanya, frowning as her eyes moistened, feeling embarrassed and humiliated.

"What calm down? You don't speak for yourself that's why she keeps abusing you everytime.. I just tolerate this for you Khushi.. But not anymore.. she just crossed her limits today" Lavanya said angrily.

"Di just see how she insulted me.. Won't you say anything to her? My parents did so much for you and you're getting me insulted by your friend" Meera cried.

"Oh please.. Don't forget you're living here in my house.. Me and Khushi pay the rent to stay here.. I can get you kicked out of here anytime I want and your parents won't even dare to say anything.. I just didn't kick you out of here because I respect Khushi" Lavanya glared at Meera.

"Meera just go to your room" Khushi said seriously, while trying to calm Lavanya.

Meera left from there crying. Khushi hugged Lavanya tightly, caressing her hair.

"I'm really sorry yaar.. Khushi I know she's your cousin sister.. but today she crossed her limits.. I couldn't keep it to myself today.. Sorry baby" Lavanya whispered, hugging Khushi back. 

"No, it's okay.. Don't say sorry.. I should say sorry.. because of me you're tolerating Meera and paid her college fees when I didn't have a job.. I'm really sorry La.. because of me.."

Lavanya broke the hug abruptly and hit Khushi with a pillow on her face, furrowing her brows: Don't start irritating me you too like your sister.. Did I ask you to apologize to me now? Did I ever said you're a burden to me? Did I ever ask you to return the money I used to pay Meera's college fees?

Khushi nodded sideways pouting, "You don't need to hit me with a pillow for that"

"Aww.. Did my baby got hurt? Should I call ASR to treat your wounds?" Lavanya smiled teasingly.

Khushi giggled softly shaking her head, then looked at Lavanya concernedly, "You're okay na?"

Lavanya nodded, "Much better now.. You go and sleep.. Good night"

"Hmm.. I was just waiting for Arnav's reply.. I need to talk with Aayu before sleeping" Khushi said, giving attention to her phone, frowning slightly at no reply from Arnav, she continued, "He still didn't reply to me.. I can't believe he's busy even while doing nothing but lay on his bed all the time"

Lavanya chuckled.

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

Shantivan..

Arnav's room..

"Excuse me.. I think you forgot the direction of your room.. You just walked in the wrong room" Arnav said staring at Anjali, who placed a pillow on his recliner and laid there to sleep.

Anjali looked at him, smiling sarcastically: I'm in the right room but with the wrong person!

"That should be my line.. because this is my room and you're the wrong person here" Arnav retorted.

Anjali sighed, "I don't want to sleep in my room with him. Can I sleep here?"

"Now that's called manners" he raised his eyebrow, nodding his head.

"Thank You!"  Anjali stressed with a huge forced smile on her face.

"Do I need to say welcome? As you already welcomed yourself before I even allowed you to enter in my room" Arnav shrugged, grinning.

"Annav uncle please call Kushie.. Did she slept without talking with me?" Aayu interrupted, pleading to talk with Khushi as he was already sleeply.

Arnav shut his eyes for a second, cursing himself for forgetting to reply to Khushi's message as Anjali grabbed his attention.

He took his phone from the side table and saw she had already replied to his message, instead of sending another message, he just called her and placed the phone over his ear.

"Finally.. I thought you forgot about me" he heard Khushi complaining as soon as she picked up his call.

"Hmm.." Arnav replied, eyeing to Anjali and Aayu, feeling awkward to be chatting with his girlfriend in front of his sister and nephew.

"Hmm! Is that all you've to say Arnav?"

"Yeah.." he cleared his throat, caressing the back of his hair. How he wished he hadn't a fractured leg this time, he would have walked out of the room and go to a corner to talk with her privately and comfortably. 

"Hmm.. Yeah..  Is that how you talk with you girlfriend?" Anjali asked laughing at him. 

"Did I ever ask you how you talk with your husband?" Arnav retorted frowning, "Shyam ji you woke up? Shyam ji did you freshen up? Shyam ji shall we go to attend puja? Shyam ji will you accompany me to mandir? Shyam ji you came back from office? Next day same list of boring and obvious question! Shyam ji this.. Shyam ji that.. Voh.. mere pati .." he mimicked her. 

"Khadoos.. I was just joking with you" Anjali pouted and turned to other side, facing her back to him.

"Okay.. Okay.. I get it.. Anjali ma'am is in your room that's why you're talking like this"

"Right" Arnav said.

"Then pass the phone to Aayu.. we will talk tomorrow" he heard Khushi giggling softly.

Arnav handed the phone to Aayu, who eagerly took the phone with a huge smile on his face, "Here.. Talk with your Kushie"

Arnav then looked at Anjali smirking, "Listen.. How come you don't want to sleep with your sweet like honey and pure like water husband?"

Anjali turned to him glaringly.

"Today you just saw a glimpse of the monster he actually is.. and you don't want to sleep with him.. tomorrow when you-" Arnav stopped talking when he noticed how Anjali's face fell as soon as the conversation took a serious turn, not wanting to put her mood off, he sighed, "Let's not talk about the monster.. oh sorry.. Sweet and Pure Shyam Ji"

"Can I sleep now?" Anjali asked.

"Do you need my permission to sleep?" he teased.

Anjali rolled her eyes as she rested her head on the pillow, "Never"

"Annav uncle here is your phone.." Aayu handed back to him after he was done talking with Khushi.

Arnav took it from his hand and kept at the side table, "Now sleep.. It's already late"

Aayu nodded and laid beside Arnav. Arnav covered him properly with the blanket, he too laid on the bed and stare at Anjali on his recliner, sleeping with just a pillow and no blanket or something else to cover her body.

"Aayu tell your bua to sleep here on the bed" Arnav whispered to Aayu. 

Aayu nodded.

"Anjali bua" Aayu called Anjali.

Anjali turn to look at him, "Haan Aayu.."

"Come to sleep here.." Aayu said pointing to his empty side.

"But.. how.."

"You better sleep on the bed.. otherwise with back pain you won't be able to attend tomorrow pooja.. DM will be angry with you" Arnav warned.

"Yeah sure.. DM is your best friend na.." Anjali joked as she stood up from the recliner and walked to the empty side of the bed.

Aayu smilingly kept his head on her shoulder. Anjali smiled caressing his cheek in return.

She pulled the blanket to cover herself and Aayu earning a groan from Arnav.

"You should have told me you need one whole blanket to cover yourself.. I would took another one" he said sarcastically, pointing to how Anjali took the whole blanket away from him.

Anjali smiled sheepishly, "I didn't mean to snatch it from you.."

He sighed and pulled back the blanket to his side, closing his eyes to sleep.

Anjali giggled silently with Aayu. 

Few minutes later, Arnav and Aayu were staring at Anjali who was sleeping peacefully, snoring loudly and disturbing their sleep.

"Now only this was left" Arnav whispered, sighing.

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

"Good night baby.. Don't be upset or overthink because of me.. Tomorrow you have a beautiful day ahead with ASR and Aayu.. so sleep peacefully thinking about tomorrow.. not what happened now" Lavanya said, patting Khushi's cheek.

Khushi nodded her head, "La do you think I did right by revealing about my relationship with Arnav to Meera?"

"Of course you did Khushi.. It's your life and you don't need to fear what she or her family would say.. Even if they call you tomorrow Khushi, you need to get affected by their words.. They did help in past, but that doesn't mean they have control over your life.." Lavanya said. 

"Yes.. you know few days ago I taught Aayu that one should love themselves, only then you'll not let others do bad to you.. when Meera came here and asked with whom I was chatting.. I remembered those words I taught to my baby and confidently told Meera about Arnav.. You see I felt good La.. much relieved.. this is my life and no one will stop me from doing what I want.. I want to love myself now" Khushi said.

"That's the spirit Girl" Lavanya smiled brightly.

Lavanya stood up to leave the room, but stopped on her way and turned to Khushi, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something.. few days back.. someone came to pick Meera up here.. I couldn't see who that person was because he or she was inside a black car.."

"Maybe it was her friend" Khushi shrugged.

"Yeah but when I asked her with whom she's going out.. she seemed disturbed.. she didn't even reply to me and left running making some excuse.." Lavanya said.

"But don't worry.. My eyes are on her every moves" Lavanya said raising her brows smiling, "Now Good night.. Sweet dreams"

"Good night baby" Khushi smiled as she laid on her bed after Lavanya walked out of her room and closed the door.

So here's an update few hours before the planned day (Friday) 😎😎.
