Days passed, Arshi is having a wonderful time. It is such a morning after a passionate night. Khushi is sleeping in Arnav's chest. He is admiring his wife. But that moment was broken by Arnav's mobile. That call is from Aman. Arnav attended it.

"No Aman, I can’t attend the meeting...I have already cleared my schedule..Where did this meeting come from now? (After pausing for some times) I will call you later."

Arnav is annoyed as the meeting with Mr.Lewis is preponed to day after tomorrow in London. That meeting is very important for ARD.

"What happened Arnavji?"

"Nothing Khushi , you sleep."

"No, I heard your conversation with Aman. What happened?"

"Khushi , it’s just that a meeting got preponed today after tomorrow in London. I know you will feel bad..."

"No Arnavji, you should attend the meeting. If it’s not important Amanji won’t call you. So this meeting is important for your company. You should go and attend it"

"But Khushi, I promised you this honeymoon"

"Arnavji, so what we can come back na? I will stay in our room in London when you go for the Meeting."

"Are you sure?"

"100 % so call Amanji and tell him that you will attend the meeting."

Arnav arranged everything and they went to London the next day itself.

***

In London,

"How was your meeting Arnavji?"

"Went well, we got the deal."

"I knew that."

"Khushi , this is for you(he gave her a gift) we need to attend a party in the night."

Khushi frozen hearing this and Arnav noticed this.

"Khushi, I am with you. Don't worry for anything."

"Hmmm, but Arnavji what will people think of you when they come to know that you married a blind girl like me? No Arnavji...you go to this party alone, I will stay here."

"Khushi, do you trust me?"

"Do I need to answer it as you already know the answer?"

"Then Khushi , no one will say anything to you or me. Also I will be with you"

"ji..."

***

At the party

Khushi's dress

Arnav held Khushi behind her waist. He introduced her to his colleagues. Khushi somewhere managed to smile and said Namaste to them. When Arnav is conversing with others, that time also he held her close to him. She felt protected in his arms. No one understands that she is blind as her eyes are so beautiful.

"Hey Arnav" Rohan, one of Arnav's colleague called him.

"Hi Rohan, how are you?"

"Good man"

"Rohan , this is my wife Khushi and Khushi this is Rohan."

Rohan was going to raise his hand for a shake hand, but before that Khushi said Namaste.

Rohan and Arnav chatted for some time.

After sometime,

"Mr. Raizada, can you please spare some time for me? I need to talk about our deal urgently..?"

"No Mr. Lewis, not now.”

"It is urgent Mr.Raizada"

"Arnavji, you go, I will stand here."

"No Khushi , I can’t go"

"Arnavji, please go and I will be here only"

"No Khushi"

"Arnavji, no you should go."

"Okay, I will be back soon.

After Arnav left, Rohan was passing by Khushi. He saw Khushi standing at a corner. Rohan look around for Arnav, but he didn't see him. Wicked thoughts came into his mind. Rohan approached Khushi.

"Hi Khushi! Why are you standing alone?"

"Rohan ji????"

"Hmm, where is Arnav?"

"He will come now"

Suddenly Rohan held Khushi's hand

"Nice ring Khushi, you have a lovely hand too"

Khushi pulled back her hand

"You should go now Rohan ji"

She stands there playing by her sari pallu. Where are you Arnav ji? Khushi thought

Rohan moved near her, but Khushi didn't sense him. Suddenly the light went off. Rohan closed Khushi's mouth with his hand and took her to a nearby room.

In the room,

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

Khushi started to move here and there by searching the area with her hand.
Rohan understood that Khushi is blind.

"HeHeHe, Mrs.Raizada is blind. This is why he held you so close to him"

"Rohanji, you...leave me...I want to go to Arnavji"

"Not so soon, you know you’re so beautiful. I really want to have you. I’d wonder why Arnav need a blind girl like you as his wife."

Rohan starts to move near Khushi. Khushi held wall and moved back as she heard footsteps coming closer to her.

"You know, you will be feisty in my bed as you’re a blind. I think I am going to have fun.  I am also a rich business man like your Arnavji so I can't let him alone have you. After all I am also a man like your Arnavji. Mujhe mein kya kami hai?"

"Please Rohanji, spare me...What did I do to you?"

"Ohh, you didn't do anything, I am going to do things now"

"Rohanji, how can you stoop so low? I am your friend's wife. He will not spare you"

"Ohh no your Arnavji will not do anything. I will deal it with some money. Don’t worry dear. After all, what is the benefit of a blind wife? So just enjoy with me"

Rohan pulled Khushi, she struggled to get out of his hold.

"Arnavji, where are you...help me... (crying) don't touch me please."

He pulled her and tried to kiss her forcefully. Khushi grabbled a flower vase near there and hit it on his head.

"Leave me..."

Rohan winced in pain and slapped Khushi. Khushi fell on the floor as her head hit on a table.

At the same time Arnav reached at the party and didn't find Khushi. He called her, but no one is taking the phone. He moved from there and rings her. But he heard her mobile's ringtone from the passage. He moved into the passage and found her mobile lying on the floor .He get panicked by this. He moved to the room closer to the passage.

In the room

Rohan stood up and moved near Khushi who was lying on the floor unconsciously. He is going to press his lip on her but someone held him.

When Arnav reached near the room he got a small piece of Khushi's saree. His heart started to beat very fastly. He opens the door and gets shocked seeing Rohan going to kiss Khushi. Suddenly anger raise up in Arnav. He pulled him and started to beat him.

"How dare you? ...How dare you touch my wife?...I will...kill...you… Bas***d"

"Arnav...hear me...” Rohan tried to speak

"Not a word Rohan"

Arnav beat him ferociously and broken his nose, blood was oozing from his nose and mouth, suddenly Arnav heard a faint voice.

"arrr...nav...jiii...arrr...nnaav...ji...heeellp"

Arnav rushed towards Khushi and lifted her. He took her to their hotel room without anyone's knowledge. He laid her in the bed. Fingerprint is there in her cheek, blood clotted near her lips. Her blouse is torn and nail scratches are there. He called the doctor. Doctor checked her and gave her an injection.

"How is she  doctor?"

"She is fine. Just some small cuts only. She is in a shock and she will gain consciousness soon. So when she wakes up give her something to eat."

"Thanks doctor"

Arnav removed her saree and blouse. He made her wear his shirt and her petticoat. He cared her hair.

"Sorry Khushi , I shouldn't left you alone in the party"

After sometime she gained consciousness. She muttered in her half sleeping form.

"Please leave me...don't touch me...help...me...Arnavji"

"Khushi, do not worry...look..I am here"

Khushi opened her eyes and touched Arnav's hand. She knows that it’s her Arnavji. She hugged him and started to cry.

"Arnavji...he...tried...to...force..."

"Don’t panic Khushi, nothing happened to you...here eat this..."

Arnav made her eat some fruits.

"Khushi...I am sorry...I should not leave you there. I am so sorry Khushi..."

"No, Arnavji you didn't do anything..It’s him who is responsible for this. Don’t think like that...its hurts me..."

Khushi cried bitterly in his chest. Khushi realized that she is wearing a shirt and a petticoat

"Arnavji my dress"

"I changed your dress"

Panic rose in Khushi's mind.

"Arnavji, did he...did he...touched...me? Am.. I...got...Impure?"

Khushi started to cry bitterly
Arnav kissed on her forehead and said,

"Do you think I will let him touch you that way? No' my Khushi is mine forever. Though, I made a mistake by leaving you alone, I will not let anyone harm you. Sorry Khushi for all the pain"

"Arnavji I thought he...forced...himself ...on...me I can't take that Arnavji"

Nothing was happened Khushi, don't get panic about anything"

He laid near Khushi in the bed. She hugged him close to her.
After some time,

"Arnavji, what if he forced himself upon me, will...you...love...me...like...you...do ...now?"

"Why are you asking like that?"

"Just...tell...me...Arnavji..."

"Khushi, maybe he can touch your body but only I can touch your soul. My Khushi will be the same Khushi to me. I love you as who you are not your body or your beauty. You will be always my love"

Hearing this, Khushi started to cry.
Khushi thought in her mind, what had she done in her life to deserve a person like Arnavji.
Khushi started to cry and said"I don't know what I did to deserve you Arnavji ...No one can love me like you do.Arnavji how can you love me so much?(crying)...I love you Arnavji."

Khushi cupped Arnav's face"I don't ask devi maiyya to give me a husband like you. But she gave me you as my husband. But now I want to ask something, Arnavji. I want to see you once, at least for a second Arnavji. I want to see the person who loves me, cares me, pampers me a lot...I don't ask anything to anyone till now, but Arnavji I want to see you...I really want to see you.Please Arnavji I want to see you..."

Khushi said cryingly. Arnav hugged her.

"Khushi calm down...stop crying...I love you too...You will see me soon Khushi ...soon"

He patted her and made her sleep.

Next morning

Arnav woke up and ordered breakfast. He made sure that Khushi sleeps well. After sometimes Khushi woke up from her sleep. The incidents from the previous night flooded into her mind. She got panicked and called out Arnav.

"Khushi" Arnav came and sat next to Khushi supporting her to sit straight.

"Arnavji" saying this she hugged him.

"I am here Khushi" Arnav patted her.

"How are you feeling?" Arnav asked curiously

"I am fine, just a small tiredness."

They sat there for sometimes.

"Khushi, now you go and get fresh"

"ji"

Arnav lifted her and carried her into the washroom. He arranged everything for her.

"Just don't close the door, call me if you need anything"

Arnav started to move from there.

"Arnavji" khushi called out to him.

He came close to her and she took his hands in her hands and said

"Thanks...Thanks for everything..."

Saying this she hugged him.

*****

Arshi is sitting on the balcony after their breakfast... Khushi rested her head on his shoulder.

"Arnavji"

"Hmmm"

"I need to talk to you"
"About..."

"What I told you yesterday"

Arnav held her hand and said

"Khushi, you don't need to stress over. We will talk about it later."

“No Arnavji, I am serious about this topic. I want ...I need to see you" Khushi said in a melancholic tone.

"Are you sure about it Khushi???"

Arnav asked her. He don't want her to get hurt if she can’t regain her eyesight in future

"Yes Arnavji. I want to be the Khushi who used to chase the butterfly, who used to be so naughty, who used to fly kites,who used to see the beautiful things in the world...I want to be the old Khushi...I need my eyesight at least for a second to see you" Khushi hugged Arnav.

Arnav got surprised by this revelation.

"Khushi...your eyesight..."

"yes Arnavji...I am not blind from my birth...It was an accident which lead me to this dark world.I was only 6 at that time...the most worst day in my life...everything changed after that incident...my colourful dreams became a black dream where only a colour is visible. You know it felt like my life got darkened forever."

"Khushi, then you don't you take any treatments"

"Arnavji, everyone knows a Khushi who is cheerful, lively, independent and happy inspite of her blindness. But know one know the real Khushi who endured so many harsh realities in her life"

Arnav hugged Khushi and lightly squeezed her hand. Khushi understood that it is Arnav , her soulmate to whom she can share all the pain and grief that she stored in her mind. Khushi started to tell her past life.

"My parents had a love marriage...My Mom used to reject dad's proposal as they belong to a society where family status is the important thing for life. My Mom came from a middle class family but my Papa was from a richer class. After a long argument, finally my Dadi agreed for their marriage. That is how they married. Papa started a business and they were happy in their own world. After the wedding my Dadi used to behave so lovely with my Mom as if she was her own daughter. Dadi changed a lot after their wedding. One year later, I was born. At that time, my papa's business faced some losses. After that my papa was no more the same husband who loved my mom a lot. He changed a lot. But our life was fair. My Dadi used to love me a lot. When I was 5 my papa's business got shut down. He was in so much stress. Unfortunately he got into some bad friend circle. Slowly he started drinking. Because of this, there are always fights between my parents. But the biggest joke is that...that..."

Khushi's eyes got wet and a sob escaped from her throat. She pressed her face into Arnav's chest and cried bitterly. Arnav gave her his support, he cared and patted her. After sometimes her sobs came into an end

"My father told us that it was due to my birth that his business went like this. I was the one who brought him unlucky. I was a curse for him" Khushi said in between her sobs.

Arnav got shocked to hear all this. He didn't expect that Khushi had been gone through all these. He cupped her face and said

"Khushi ,you are my lucky charm. You are not...You can’t be unlucky for anyone. After you came into my life, it only brought me success and happiness. Don't think that you are unlucky. Your dad doesn't know your value"

"Arnavji, that time I don't know what was the meaning of his words. But I knew that my Papa didn't like me. He always treats me in anger only. But still our life was going so well. But their marital life got a big blow when my Papa started doubting my Mom. He thought that she was having an affair with one of my dad's friend. All these accusations made her weak. But she didn't tell all this to anyone, not even to Nani. One day my Dad threw us out, but he was kind enough to offer a lift till my Nani's house as it was night. That day, we all met with an accident and I lost my eyesight. That was the last nail in the coffin. My papa got totally irritated by me. At that time I don't know what happened to me. I can’t see anything. With all these my Mom became a living corpse. Dadi took care of my treatment. She told us that I can’t regain my eyesight. Next week, my Papa abandons us"

Arnav looked into Khushi's eyes and kissed it.

"Khushi, how do you know ..."

"Before the day of suicide, my mom came to me at night and talked to me all these. She thought that I was sleeping, but I was awake, hearing the bitter past of mine. Arnav...ji...I will not forget that day in my life... (she choked her words) when my mom hugged me, kissed me for the last time...last time I slept under her warmness...last time she told me that how precious I am to her...but I don't...Arnavji...I really don't know that she was going to suicide in the next day"

Khushi cried remembering the sweet memories with her Mom.

"Khushi ...relax" Arnav made her drink the water.

"No, Arnavji... I want to take this burden away from my mind...to throw away all the bitter secrets. I can’t hold it anymore, its killing me little by little"

"I am with you Khushi...always...forever"

"Arnavji, does you know who is the reason behind all these?"

Arnav waited for her answer

"My Dadi, yes my Papa's Mom...she is the sole reason for this"

This was another shock for Arnav. He didn't expect her Dadi to be so cruel.

"Yes...all her love and care was really fake ...she didn't love either my Mom or me. She wants to get rid of my Mom and wants my Papa to marry any rich girl. So she started creating a rift between them. After I was born, she got furious and planned everything to destroy my parent’s marital life. She was the one who made my Dad believe that I am unlucky for him. She with the help of my Papa's friend sowed the seed of doubt against my Mom. In return for this, she transferred our home, which was made by my Dad's hard work. After my Papa abandoned us she somehow convinced my Mom to go back to my Nani's house. As she lost her son, she went to an ashram"

"Khushi, how can your Dadi do all these? How do you know this?"

"I heard it myself when she was talking with the man who helped her to destroy my parents' life."

"Khushi...I can’t erase all these bad memories. But I will store your life with a lot of new sweet memories. I will be there for you always...forever…"

"I know Arnavji...You will be there for me...You already filled my life with a lot of sweet and everlasting memories. Thanks for hearing my past life...thanks for supporting me...now I feel so light hearted. Do you know all these things made me hate this world? That is why I don't want to see this world till now. But now you are my world and I want to see my world...I know that I will surely see my world."

Khushi hugged him and listened to his heartbeat which only beats for her.

Later Arnav made her appointment with the best ophthalmologist in London.

Next morning

"Khushi, get ready soon"

"Where are we going Arnavji"

"For your eye checkup"

Khushi frowned hearing it.

"Eye testing???"

"Yes, today we will meet some specialist here..."

"ji"

Khushi drifted to her own thoughts

"Khushi, don’t worry everything will go well"

"It is nothing Arnavji...I am just afraid that what if the doctor says that I can’t ever regain my eyesight..Then how will I see you then???"

"Khushi, you will surely see me one day...keep patience"

He said patting her cheek and then kissed her forehead

***

They moved to the hospital. Their appointment arrived.

"Good morning doctor"

"Good morning Mr.Raizada have a seat"

"Doctor, this is my wife Khushi. She is a blind. Can we regain her eyesight???"

"Regain...then she is not blind from birth, right?”

"Yeah, she had an accident and lost her eyesight."

"Mrs.Raizada...let me check your eyes first"

Doctor takes a torch and lights it into her eyes

"Her eyes seem perfect...I mean her pupil dilated when it comes into contact with light.it is a positive sign. May be her optic nerves have some problems"

"Can we correct it"

"We can’t say it now Mr.Raizada for that we need to do some tests. If you are not busy we can do this now"

"Sure doctor"

Doctor called his junior doctor and said him to assist them. Khushi goes through some tests. Her eyes are checked thoroughly. Arnav is besides her for all these tests.

After the tests,

"Arnavji...I will get my eyesight back na???"

"Yes, you will" he kissed Khushi's head.

In doctor cabin,

"Mr.Raizada, going through this test reports...we found out that Mrs. Raizada's have a Cortical Blindness. In this type of blindness the person will have a little or not have vision. In the case of Mrs.Raizada she doesn't have any vision."

Hearing this Khushi got afraid that she may not be able to see again. She clunched Arnav's hands. He slightly squeezed her hands to assure her that he is with her.

"Doctor, are you mean to say that Khushi will not..."

"No..No...Mr.Raizada...I didn't mean that Mrs.Raizada can’t regain her eyesight. She doesn't have permanent blindness. Some surgeries will help her to regain her eyesight. But the problem is her optic nerves and the blood tissues are damaged. If only we can fix that she will get her eyesight back."

Arnav looked at the doctor confusingly

"See Mr.Raizada...her optic nerves and the blood tissues near it had been damaged. We need to cure that. For that we need to conduct a surgery on it. After that if her optic nerves respond, we can transplant her eyes."

"Thank you doctor..."

"Doctor, when we can conduct this surgery?" Khushi asked impatiently.

"Wait a minute Mrs.Raizada."

Doctor check his schedule

"Hmm, probably after 2 days"

"Thank you doctor"

“Mention not please..  Mrs.Raizada, and form now I will give you some medicines. Follow it. Also don't get your eyes exposed to intense light or heat."

"Okay doctor..I will take care of it"

Arnav led Khushi to the car. Khushi is smiling throughout the journey. They reached their room.

When they enter the room Arnav pulls Khushi near to his chest. He moved near to her ear and kissed her earlobes and said

"You were smiling so much..."

"I will...now I am going to see you soon."

Saying this Khushi placed her hands on his face. She traced her hands trailing through his forehead, nose, lips, jaw, cheeks, and eyebrows. She imprinted his face in her mind. Later her lips travelled the same path as her fingers. Finally she settled her juicy lips on him. She pulled him closer to her, nibbling his lips one by one. They made love to their mouths. Passion ignited in the room. Slowly each piece of thread fell on the floor. Arnav carried his princess to the bed and made the most passionate and romantic love.

Next morning

Khushi is sleeping in Arnav's chest. Her leg intertwined with his. The bed sheet covers their bodies. Khushi woke up first. She tried to get out of his hold, but she can’t. Accepting defeat she hugged him. She trailed her fingers over his body. She tickled him.

"Khushi, Stop it..."

But Khushi continue to tickle him

"Khushi...I said stop it..."

Khushi doesn't hear his word and continued her teasing

Suddenly Arnav came on top of her and pinned her to the bed.

"You like to tease me na...then how about this"

He moved down and started to place butterfly kisses on her tummy along with stoking her sensitive spot there.

"ar...nav...ji...ssstttooopp it...hehehehe...it hehehehe...it…is hahaha..Tickling"

Hearing her protest her teased her  a lit bit too.

"Hahahah...ar...nav...ji...stoopp"

Arnav looked at her reddened face. He kissed on her lips softly

"Very good morning Mrs.Raizada"

"Good morning to you too Mr.Raizada"

Arnav lay beside her.

"How are you feeling?"

Arnav asked Khushi with so much concern. They had a marathon session last night.

Khushi blushed and said

"I am fine Arnavji"

Suddenly Khushi asked Arnav

"Arnavji...we need to tell about the surgery to our family"

"I was thinking for a surprise"

"What surprise?"

"Just imagine when we reach there after your surgery, they will be surprised to see you. Also if we tell them, both of them will get tensed about your surgery."

"You are right Arnavji...both Nani’s have so many health problems. They will start to think about the surgery and get scared."

"Are you not scared for your surgery Khushi?"

"Why would I scared of the surgery...You will be with me na then I don't have any fear."

"Yes I will"

Arnav extended their stay for 3 more weeks. NK is the acting CEO of AR now. Arnav managed AR and spend time with Khushi.

After 2 days

In the hospital

"Mr.Raizada, we can conduct Mrs.Raizada's surgery now. There is no complication in it."

"Okay doctor"

Arnav held her hand and asked

"Ready???"

"Ji" Khushi said smiling nervously

He hugged her and said

"Don’t get panicked...I am with you...My Khushi is strong and face this with a smile on her face. Everything will be fine."

Soon Khushi is taken into the operation theater. Few hours later the doctor came.

"Mr.Raizada, we are successfully rectified her blood tissues and nerve. She is in sedation now. Will soon shifted into the room.”

"Thanks doctor"

"Let’s wait for her response...we can only transplant her eyes after knowing the response of her optic nerves"

"Okay doctor"

Khushi is shifted into the room. Arnav came there and care her hair. After sometimes Khushi got consciousness.

"Arnavji..."

"I am here Khushi..."

He holds her hand

"How are you feeling now?"

"Fine, just some mild pain around the eyes"

"Let me call the doctor first"

Arnav called the doctor

"So Mrs.Raizada, how are you feeling?"

"Good, but some mild pain around the eyes"

"It will go soon...any other irritations?"

"No...This blindfold is a lit bit tight"

"Nothing to worry about it. Your eyes are bulged and when it comes back to normal. It will get loose soon. We will check you soon"

"Khushi, eat this food"

He brought the food closer to her mouth

"Did you had your food?"

"I will"

"No, you will eat with me"

"I will eat later”

"If you want me to eat this food, then eat with me"

Finally Arnav agreed for it.

They shared the food.

After 4 or 5 hours, the doctor came,

"I am going to untie your blindfold .Don’t open your eyes before I say for it."

Doctor untied her blindfold.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Fine doctor"

"Now slowly open your eyes"

"Yes" Khushi hold Arnav's hand,

She slowly opened her eyes,

"Can you see anything?"

"Hmmm...No...I mean it is not black colour now...something lighter than that..."

She blinks her eyes. The doctor lights into her eyes. She tries to close her eyes.

"What happened?"

"That lights is so intense"

"Okay Mrs.Raizada you can take rest now. Don’t give strain to your eyes"

"Okay"

"Mr.Raizada, come with me please"

"Khushi, I will be back soon"

"Ji"

Arnav moves with the doctor

"Mr.Raizada, her nerves are responding...that’s means we can conduct the transplantation soon. Her eyes are not clear for vision."

"Okay...Doctor about the donor?"

"You have to contact the eye bank. I hope that we will get a matching donor soon"

"I will make sure doctor"

Next day Arnav took Khushi to their hotel. She was under observation in the hospital. Arnav contacted the eye bank. But in between all these they got a call from NK stating that Devayani was in hospital. So they flew back to India.

In India, hospital,

"How are you feeling now Nani??" an anxious Arnav asked to Devayani

I am fine chote,its just that my BP got a little bit high. I am feeling sorry that I ruined your honeymoon"

"No Nani, Your health is important to us than anything" Khushi said holding her hand.

After a few days,

Devayani was fine now. Everyone in the family made sure that she took adequate rest. Arnav told everyone about Khushi's eye surgery.

Arnav made sure that she took adequate rest within these days.

Nidhi and NK got close. NK took Nidhi for a date too. He didn't allow her to do any works. Khushi had a spectacle

One day Arnav got a call from Dr.Lewis who treated Khushi in London. He told that he spoke to his collegue, Mr. Manohar Sharma in India about Khushi's case. He told Arnav to take Mr.Sharma's appointment as soon as possible. Within the next minute he made Khushi's appointment for the next day itself.

Next day in hospital

"Good morning Mr and Mrs.Raizada"

"Good morning doctor"

"Doctor Lewis told me everything and I studied about it. First let me check Mrs.Raizada"

"Sure doctor"

Dr.Sharma checked her eyes.

"So now her nerves and tissues are fine. We can conduct the eye transplant as soon as possible. I will inform you about the date of the surgery"

"Okay doctor"

"Also the success of this surgery based on how her eyes react to the new tissues. Hope that her eyes react positive"

"Okay, thanks doctor"

Arnav told the family about her eye transplant. They all are happy with this news. Finally they got the date of surgery; it is fixed after 4 days. Khushi was very happy and tensed about the whole thing. She is happy that she is going to see her Arnavji, and tensed about the surgery.

In Arshi's room...

"Arnavji...will I get back my eyesight? Will my body accept the change in my body?"

"Khushi everything will go well."

"But Arnavji,what if..."

"Khushi, whatever happens I will always love you. You will be the same

Khushi with whom I fell in love with."

Arnav kissed her forehead. Both of them fell into slumber sleep

Khushi need to get admitted a day before her eye transplant.

Everyone was ready to stay back in hospital, but Arnav didn't allow it. He stayed with Khushi in hospital giving her support for the next day.

Finally that big day in Khushi's life arrived. Khushi changed into the hospital dress. Doctor arrived there.

"So Mrs.Raizada , are you ready for the operation"

"Ji"

Doctor checked Khushi's eyes and left.

"Arnavji..."

Khushi held his hand and hugged him.

"Khushi, just relax and always remember that..."

"You love me...Hamesha" Khushi finished his lines

Soon Khushi was taken into the operation. Arnav held her hands till they reached the operation theater.

Arnav kissed her forehead and said

"Go and defeat your weakness and come back to see the beautiful things around you"

Khushi nodded her head and taken inside the hospital.

Arnav waited outside the OT. NK reached the hospital. Nidhi was there in RM to look after Nanis. Arnav don't want Nanis to get stressed with all these.

"Nannav...Khushiji will be fine"

He hugged him and patted his shoulder. Arnav accepted that gesture of NK. Both of them waited outside the theatre.

After a few hours and doctor came out.

"Mr.Raizada, everything is fine...Soon Mrs.Raizada will be shifted into the room. Now she is in general anesthesia. Will regain consciousness soon"

The doctor moved to his cabin.

"Nannav ...I told you na...now let me call Nani and break this good news"

"NK...don,t bring Nanis here now...Let Khushi get conscious , after that we will bring them."

"Right Nannav...both of them are not well too...Let them stay in home"

At that time Khushi was taken to her room. Arnav held her hand, she was in deep sleep. Her eyes were blindfolded.

Both of them entered the room. Arnav sat beside Khushi's side.

"NK...Now you go...I will be here..."

Finally the cotton pieces were removed.

"Mrs.Raizada, now slowly open your eyes."

Slowly Khushi opened her eyes...seeing the light she closed her eyes.

“It’s okay...Try to open and look"

Khushi again opened her eyes and see a blurred vision. She was continuously blinking her eyes. Arnav leave her hand and stand in front of her. Khushi can see a blured image of a person dressed in white shirt and blue jeans. She knows that it was her Arnavji. She concentrated her eyes on Arnav. Slowly that blurred image became clear. Khushi saw her Arnavji.

"Arnavji..."

Khushi called him with excitement. Arnav moved near her and held her hands.

"Arnavji..." Khushi raised her hand and touched his cheek and smiled.

"I can see you..."

"Arnavji...You are exactly like my imagination...You are like to the picture I have in my mind...May be more handsome than my imagination."

Khushi said with a small smile on her lips.

"Khushi" Arnav called her and pointed where others are standing.

"Nani..."

"Titaliya..." Nani cried out.

"You changed a lot Nani...I never thought that I will see you again...Nani thanks for looking after me all these time."

Khushi wanted to cry but tears are not coming from her eyes. She met everyone. Khushi was so happy to see them all.

"Nani...now you should go home and take rest..."

"Arnavji is right Nani...You all should go and take rest. I will be okay"

"I will be here with Khushi" Arnav announced his decision.

"Okay Chote we will go now...Khushi bitiya we will come tomorrow. Take rest dear"

All of them moved from there.

"Khushi...”

"Arnavji...please sit with me"

Arnav sit close to her. Khushi raised her hands and traced his forehead, eyes, cheeks, jaw and lips. Khushi cupped his face and again kisses all over his face. Then she rested her head on his chest and intertwined their hands.

"Arnavji...I think that I am the most lucky girl in this world to have a husband like you...I don't know how to express my feelings now...You give me a new life which I don't think of...Your my strength...Thanks for coming into my life"

Arnav cupped her face and kissed her forehead and made her lay on the bed.

"Khushi...You don't need to thank me...I have done all these for myself only...I love you and wanted to see you happy...Your smile matters to me..Don’t strain your eyes...Sleep now."

"No Arnavji...I don't want to sleep...I want to look at you...All these felt like a dream to me. What if I don't see you again when I wake up next time? What if I again loss my eyesight..."

"Khushi nothing will happen...I am here with you na...we have a lifetime to gaze into each other’s eyes...Now sleep wearing this"

Arnav made her wear a type of spec which will protect her eyes.

Arnav cared her hair.

"Sleep Khushi Sleep...So many beautiful things are waiting for you.”

Slowly Khushi fell into deep slumber.

As the sunlight falls on his face, Arnav woke up from his sleep.He looked at his lovely wife who is sleeping peacefully in the hospital bed. Arnav moved near to her and pecked her cheek.

He then moved from there and made a call. He wanted to surprise Khushi, after all she is going to see this world. As per his order everything got arranged and he waited for her to wake up from her sleep.

After sometimes Khushi opened her eyes slowly and removed the specs.

"Arnavji"

As he heard her melodious voice, he moved near her.

"Good morning Khushi"

Khushi clearly opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Good morning Arnavji"

Suddenly fresh fragrance of rose flower filled her nostrils. Khushi looked around and got surprised. The whole room is filled with red roses.

"Arnavji...Who brought this flowers? I mean ...there is so many of them"

"Mrs.ASR I want to surprise my wife, so do you have any problem in it?"

He asked her teasingly.

"If so...Let me think...Hmmm...I don't have any problem in it"

"So you liked it?"

"No...I don't like it"

Arnav's face fallen sad

"Khushi...I..."

"But I loved it...thanks a lot for this wonderful surprise"

Arnav secured her in his arms.

"How are you feeling Khushi?...Do you have any kind of pain?"

"No...I am alright... when others will come?"

"They will come soon"

"I can’t wait to see all of them again... (Looking up to Arnav) Arnavji I still can’t believe that I am seeing you all... isn't it a dream?"

Kissing her "No Khushi this is all real...like our love"

Arnav taken care of Khushi and made sure that she doesn’t strain much. After sometimes Nani and others came to see Khushi. All of them are happy to see Khushi like this. Khushi thought that she is living in a fairy tale now with her prince Arnav. They pampered her like a little child. Dr.Sharma assured that Khushi is fine and can leave the hospital the very next day.

Next morning...

Arnav filled all the required forms. The doctor instructed him how to take care of Khushi in this situation (I mean after surgery) Khushi was excited to see the world outside the hospital, her home, her school, her room etc.

NK accompanied Arshi from hospital to RM .Soon they reached RM. Khushi was surprised to see her home. It was way beyond her imagination. Others are waiting for them. Nani did aarti and welcomed Khushi again to her home. Khushi was about to put her feet on the floor but suddenly lifted by Arnav. She garland her arms around him.

They entered their room. Arnav made her comfortable in the bed.

"Arnavji...this is our room na!!! Just like my imagination. Black interior"

"You don't like it?"

"Yes...I mean no...Everything is..." Khushi find difficult to tell that she don't like black colour theme.

"Khushi ,I know that you don’t like it. Soon we will change it and bring more colours to our life"

Khushi smiled and hugged him.

"Arnavji...I want to go to the pool side"

Arshi together explored their room. Khushi kept on asking questions and Arnav was always ready to answer her non ending questions.
