Aditi : Bhaijaan!!! I need to talk to you in private.

Everyone looked at each other noticing the serious face of Aditi. Arnav nodded his head and they both stepped towards the balcony.

Arnav : Tell me, baby... What do you want to talk about?

Aditi : I need something from you, Bhaijaan.

Arnav : Anything for you baby. Tell me, what's the matter?

Aditi : I want a promise from you, Bhaijaan. The promise which you will never break.

Arnav : Promise? Sure... But what's the matter, beta?

Aditi : Bhaijaan, promise me that you will never make my Khushi cry. Promise me that you will always keep her happy. Promise me that you will always make her your ultimate priority and be on her side in every situation.

Arnav smiled listening to his little sister's demands. He felt so proud of his sister and his both Angel's friendship.

Arnav : I promise you my Doll. I will always keep my Khushi happy. You both are my ultimate priority, Adi. We will be on her side in thick and thin. Happy?

Aditi : Thank you so much, Bhaijaan. You are the best. She hugged him. I am so happy for you. You got the world's best wife and I got the best Sister-in-law. I am so happy, Bhaijaan. She squealed.

Arnav chuckled and kissed her forehead.

Arnav : Pagli... Come let's go otherwise your Bhabhi will appoint the detective to know what we discussed.

Aditi : I don't think so.

Arnav : Why not?

Aditi : You will explain everything to her like a parrot. Then why should she appoint a detective? She knows how to get information from you.

Arnav laughed hearing it.

Arnav : Of course Sweetheart. I have nothing to hide from her.

Aditi nodded, and they both walked towards everyone. Arnav went and stood near Khushi. Khushi nudged him and asked what's the matter through her eyes. He just winked at her.

Next Day

.

Sidharth's Mansion

.
Aman : So what's the next plan? As Sidharth's source, Jhas are extremely dangerous for us. We have to deal with them carefully.

Sidharth : I have a plan... But for that Arnav should be a little liberal towards Jhas.

Aman : You explain the plan, Sidharth... Sidharth illustrated his plan.

NK : That's a great plan, Sid Bhai. But for that Arnav Bhai should accept na. He is mad at them and what about Khushi? Will she accept it?

Sidharth : I will talk to Khushi. She will understand the situation.

Payal : Then it's easy. Only Khushi can tame Arnav Bhai.

Aman : You are right, Payal. Arnav won't agree to anything which will intentionally or unintentionally hurt, Khushi. Even we don't want Khushi hurt. So every step we take should be very careful. Jhas and Ratna aunty are gonna take full advantage of the situation. There are high chances that they hurt Khushi.

Aditi : Then Bhaijaan will show them their place, and our plans will backfire.

Aman : This is a very sensitive issue. We should be very careful when we deal with Arnav and Khushi. Especially Arnav. Khushi is his weakness and if Jhas comes to know about it, they will use it against us. So they shouldn't get to know about Arshi relationship at any cost. Anyway, let's see what we can do. Don't discuss Shyam having another family, to Arnav. Whatever the circumstances are, in the end, Anjali is his sister. He just got his happiness back. We shouldn't ruin it. We will work on it. Later we will reveal everything about Shyam to him. But we can tell him about Sheetal's nightlife.

NK : The night club you said belongs to one of my friends, Sid Bhai. I will ask him to keep an eye on that lady.

Sidharth : If possible get CCTV footages. We can use it as proofs, NK. The whole world knows her as ASR'S fiancee. When Arnav announces his breakup with the media, we need enough proof to show them why he is breaking up. It shouldn't affect his reputation. 

Aman : You are right, Sid. They shouldn't get even a loophole to escape. When it ends, it should be the end of Jhas. Come on let's go. Hope they are up by now.

Penthouse

Morning rays peeped inside the room through the blinds. Arnav opened his eyes to see the gorgeous sight of his Sunflower, who is now his wife, his Khushi, laying on his chest hugging him with a frown. He chuckled seeing it and hugged her towards him to avoid the sun rays bothering his lovely wife. He kissed her hair and cuddled her into his chest. She snuggled close to him.

Arnav : Baby... Get up... Everyone will be here anytime soon.

Khushi : Don't move Adu... Let me sleep.

Arnav chuckled hearing it and kissed her hair.

Arnav : Hey Wifey... Get up, Sweetheart. Your Adu will come now.

Khushi opened her eyes and looked up to see Arnav smiling at her. She suddenly looked around and stood up with a jerk.

Khushi : Why am I here?

Arnav looked at Khushi amused.

Arnav : Good morning Sweetheart... I think my Wifey forgot that we got married yesterday.

Khushi stared at him in shock.

Khushi : Oh my God... How can I forget it, Arnav? She hopped towards him and hugged him.

Arnav scooped her into his embrace and laughed seeing her antics.

Arnav : Slept well?

Khushi : Of course. She said snuggling close to him.

Arnav : Baby, it's 9.00 now. They will be here anytime soon. Do you want your Adu to tease you?

Khushi : I will kill her if she teases me. You don't come for her rescue.

Arnav : Of course not... It's between you both Sister-in-law. He said nuzzling her hair.

Khushi looked at Arnav and smiled.

Khushi : I am her Sister-in-law na. So I have full authority over her, right?

Arnav laughed and said : Yeah right. Now I won't interfere in anything related to her. It's your duty to look after your Sister-in-law.

Khushi : Done... Hubby Jaan. I should start watching saas-bahu shows.

Arnav : For what?

Khushi : To learn the ways to irritate my sister-in-law.

Arnav laughed and pulled her into his lap.

Arnav : Pagal...

Khushi : Me?

Arnav : Of course. You and your Adu are the same. Poor Aman and me.

Khushi pouted, faking her anger and tried to get up, but he held her close and pecked her pout.

Arnav : I was just kidding, Jaan.

Khushi : Good for you... By the way, what are the plans for today?

Arnav : You say...

Khushi : Let's go to our POW House, our Paradise. We can party there.

Arnav : Whatever you please, Ma'am. You can do whatever you want. Your wish is my command.

Khushi : Aww... You are so cute my Hubby Jaan. Chalo we can get ready.

.

Jha's House

.
Sheetal : It's been days since I got engaged. But till today Arnavji never talked to me. My friends are making fun of me, Bhabhi. She started her fake tears.

Anjali : It's not like that Sheethu. He is now busy with his new fashion show. Yesterday night he didn't even go home. Amma told that he hardly go home nowadays. That's how busy he is. He never shows his love, Sheetu. He will talk to you and take you out soon after he is free. Don't forget your marriage is nearing.

Sheetal : Still Di, I don't like him being friendly with that Khushi. She has eyes on my Arnavji.

Anjali : She is gone na Sheetal. Now no one will take your Arnavji from you. Smile now.

Sheetal smirked and hugged her bhabhi.

Shyam enters the room seeing this.

Shyam : Oh my Darling sister, We got the deal...

Sheetal jumped on Shyam and hugged him.

Sheetal : Wow Bhai... This calls for a celebration.

Shyam : Anjali... We can't conduct a big party here. So ask Arnav to arrange RM for our success party.

Anjali : Shyamji... Chotte won't allow it.

Sheetal : Bhabhi. You try. He will accept. He loves you a lot na.

Anjali : Of course he loves me a lot, Sheetu.

Shyam and Sheetal looked at each other and smirked.

.
POW House

.
All the cousin crew including Arnav and Khushi gathered in their POW House, their hideout.

Aman : Arnav, you need to be cordial with Sheetal to expose them.

Arnav : Are you mad? Here I am trying to get rid of her from our life and you want me to be cordial with that Shi-tal? He asked, irritated... The only woman I will be cordial with is here, sitting beside me in my arms. Understand... He said lovingly gazing at Khushi.

Aditi : But Bhaijaan, Ami is right... We want to expose her then only we can get rid of her. We need to show the world that she doesn't suit ASR.

Khushi, holding his hand : Yes baby... Bhai and Adu are right. We need to expose her na. Just be normal with her at least. Try to have normal conversations with her. Try to be a little friendly with her.

Arnav : You must be the only wife, asking her husband to talk to the girl who is the reason for our misery. And for your information Mrs Raizada, I am still officially engaged to her.

Khushi's face turned pale hearing it. She stood up from there and went to her room.

All got shocked.

NK : Why did she go all of a sudden?

Aman looked at Arnav, facepalming : What was the need to talk about your so-called engagement here? She is upset because of that only.

Aditi : Bhai!!! Go... GO and pacify her.

Arnav cursed himself for talking nonsense to his love and making her sad. He stood up and walked towards their room. He entered the room and saw Khushi coming from the washroom wiping her face. It was evident that she cried. Her face and eyes were red. She saw him and smiled at him.

Khushi : Why are you here?

Arnav didn't say anything. He moved forward and pulled her into a bear hug, placing his face on the crook of her neck. He inhaled her jasmine aroma to calm his tensed nerves.

Arnav on hug : Baby I am sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just kidding. I didn't mean it. It just came with the flow. Are you insecure that we didn't announce our marriage officially? Baby, we can do that then. I don't care about anything else.
Whatever the consequences may be, we will face together. My baby should not feel bad about anything. I won't tolerate that. You are my ultimate priority. Nothing is as important as you for me. Please don't hate me, baby. Don't avoid me or leave me, Please.

Khushi comes out of the hug : What are you saying, Arnav? Why should I hate you and leave you? We decide to keep our marriage a secret till Jhas are exposed na. You are my life. Baby, coz of your fear of losing me and insecurities only, we got married, right?. See this(showing her nuptial chain), this is the proof that I am yours and you are mine, forever. And it will be on my neck till my death.

Arnav closed her mouth with his hand.

Arnav : How many times have I told you not to talk about death? He said in anger. I won't leave you ever. Even death can't take you from me, he said hugging her affectionately.

Both stood in each other's embrace for a long time. After some time Khushi broke the hug and caught hold of his hand.

Khushi : Come baby. Let's go out. They all are waiting for us. We have a lot to plan.

Arnav nodded his head, smiling and held her towards him. He kissed her forehead.

Arnav : I love you...

Khushi smiled and said: I know...

Both giggled looking at each other and walked outside to meet everyone.

NK : Love birds came, he shrilled.

Khushi blushed and Arnav held her towards him. They both sat together on the couch.

Akash : Bhai we need to be very careful... Shyam is very cunning. So our plan should be foolproof. And we need to consider Di too. She is pregnant and her pregnancy is risky. So we should be double careful.

Payal : I agree with Akash. We need to consider Di's condition. We don't want to create a situation, where we regret it later.

Arnav : Yes, you both are right. As the first step, I will try to be friendly with Sheetal. But on one condition.

"What," All asked confused.

Arnav : I want my Jaan with me.

Aman : Are you nuts? How can she be with you?

Arnav : I know it's not possible now to take her with me as my wife. But she can be there as Adi's friend like before. Their classes are also going to start. So that she will be near me and I can see her and know her whereabouts. I won't leave her alone.

Aman : That's not an issue. Sid will shift here, or she can go to his house na.

Arnav : It's not about her accommodation, Aman. I want her with me. I can't stay in RM if she is away from me. Even she wants this only.

Aditi : How do you know what she wants,  Bhaijaan?

Arnav : I know her, he said looking at Khushi lovingly. Khushi leaned on him and nodded her head.

Khushi : I will come and stay at your house, Arnav, Arnav cut the conversation and said.

Arnav : It's our house baby. You belong there.

Khushi smiled hearing it. All smiled at the couple, so much in love.

Aditi : So it's finalized that Khushi is moving in with me. So all set. Now we can relax. Wait, we will bring some refreshments. Adi held Khushi and Payal's hand and walked towards their kitchen to prepare snacks and juices.

.
After sometime

.
Arnav and the gang were discussing what to do with Jhas and get rid of them from their life without much damage. Suddenly Arnav's phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at the caller and found it to be Anjali.

Arnav : Why is she calling me at this time?

Khushi : Put it in the speaker. Arnav picks the call and puts it in the speaker.

Phone conversation

Anjali : Hello Chotte...

Arnav : Yes... Tell me... What do you want?

Anjali : Chotte... Shyamji got a new deal with a multinational company. We need to throw a party to celebrate it. We want the party to be held at RM. You have to arrange it.

Arnav fumed hearing it. But Khushi made him calm down and asked him to say "yes".

Arnav nodded "No," but everyone else urged him to say "Yes."

Arnav : Mmm... Fine. Anything else? I am busy. Don't disturb me hereafter. 

Anjali : Chotte wait... Sheetu wants to talk to you.

Arnav : I am busy... Saying this, he cut the call and turned towards others. " Why the hell do you all want that? I don't like them in our house."

Khushi : Arnav relax... We just talked to be cordial with them, right? Let this be the first step.

Arnav : But Khushi... Anjali and Jhas are gonna take full advantage of it.

Khushi : Let them... For the last time... She winked at him.
