It is their last night here in the secluded Island and tomorrow they return back to Delhi.

Khushi searched Arnav everywhere around the house. Where is he?

Frowning she went inside their room 'Arnav ji!!!' but no reply back. Instead her eyes fell on a parcel.

She took it in her hand, it is written For You!!!. Inside there was a beautiful dress with matching accessories. It was simple yet beautiful.

There was another small card placed on the bed, it read I'm waiting for you.

Smiling softly she went inside the bathroom to get ready.

She came out of the house looking around. There he stood near the steps of the gazebo looking handsome as ever. Her breath hitched at the look in his eyes. He is no less and lost in her.

The beautiful gown accentuating her body perfectly, she looked breathtaking. Inhaling sharply he moved towards her who met him half way.

Arnav held up his hand and watched her slip her hand in his. Smiling at her 'You look beautiful Khushi'

Khushi looked down blushing. He kissed her hand loving her blush intensifying. Then tugging it lightly 'Come!!'

Confused hazel eye met warm chocolate eye. Arnav 'you will know soon' he led her walking to little distance.

She gasped looking at place simply decorated for two people dine. She looked at Arnav to see him having his eyes on her.

Khushi 'Arnav ji, this.....'

Arnav 'today is the last day here, so thought to do something which will add to our memory for us to cherish together in future'

Khushi 'So thoughtful of you, Arnav ji. It is beautiful'

Arnav 'naah not more than you'

As if on cue music floated softly around the area. She looked at him surprised. Arnav's eyes smiled at her, her gaze travelled to his hand to see cute little remote with which he played a song.

Every word in the song telling her what he feels for her? What she means to him?

Suno na sangemarmar ki ye minarein
Kuchh bhi nahi hain aage tumhaare
Aaj se dil pe mere raaj tumhaara..
Taj tumhaara..

Listen to me (as in believe me),
these minarates of white marble are nothing compared to you
[as in, their beauty is nothing in comparison to your beauty]
From today, on my heart there will be your rule.
(From today) the Taj is yours..

[Taj literally means a crown. So this may also be taken that she has the crown, and hence she's the queen, of his heart.]

He pulled her by her hand making her fall on him lightly. His hand around her waist, her hands went around his neck......both looking in their eyes lost the count of time listening to the song swaying softly.

Bin tere maddham-maddham
Bhi chal rahi thi dhadkan
Jab se mile tum hamein
Aanchal se tere bandhe
Dil ud raha hai

Without you, even the heartbeat
was going on slowly..
Since I found you,
I am tied with you..
(and) the heart is flying..

Suno na aasmaanon ke ye sitaare..
Kuchh bhi nahi hain aage tumhare..

Believe me, these stars of skies,
are nothing compared to you..

Aaj se dil pe mere raaj tumhara..
Taj tumhara..

Suno na sangmarmar ki ye minaarein..

Song had ended long back with another song in list started playing but Arnav and Khushi did not realize anything other than them.

Evening breeze made her shiver a bit breaking them from their daze. Arnav looked at her 'You okay? Feeling cold?'

Khushi 'No, I'm alright'

Arnav 'come food is waiting for us'

He made her sit first gentlemanly way and even served her before taking a seat opposite her serving himself.

The dinner went peacefully with his gazing at her intensely while she blushing under his gaze.

When their dinner was over Arnav stood up. Clearing his throat he came infront of Khushi and knelt down before her, taking her hand in his.....Khushi 'Arnav ji...what?'

Arnav placing his finger on her lips 'Shh listen to me' after her nod.

He took deep breath before looking in her eyes with his penetrating gaze.

Fate has brought us together, we will never be apart.
Our love is strong, it echo's in my heart.
You make me smile when no one can
You take my hand and comfort me
You say the sweetest words ever told
You never let me down
You always on my mind.
Someone like you is so hard to find.

You proven your love over and over again and it is not fair
I have not proven how much i love and I care...
Life goes on and so do we,
I love from my heart always will i do
I have I loved no other the way I love you.

My dreams and thoughts revolve around you
I am hopelessly without you
You are my everything I see
You are everything that i need
You are the love of my life

Khushi looked at him in awe. Arnav looking at her apprehensively, took out a box from the inside pocket of his coat 'Will you marry me Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, again? Will you give me pleasure of change your name from Khushi Kumari Gupta Sigh Raiada to Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada, for forever? Will you give me the pleasure to be us for one, always and forever?'

She pleasantly shocked closed her mouth, her eyes which were already welled up by the beautiful poem he recited for her.

Arnav 'Khushi!!!'

He held his hand before her, she nodding her head kept her hand in his. He slipped the ring in her ring finger kissing on the ring lightly.

Arnav 'Thank you for coming in my life'

He stood up while she too got up and hugged him fiercely. Arnav whispered 'I'll try to fulfill all your dreams and wishes Khushi'

Khushi smiling at him 'I know'

She watched with her smile disappearing to see him lowering his head. She closed her eyes welcoming his lips on hers. Time went by till they felt the need of air to breathe. She smiled at him shyly hiding her face in his chest while he wrapped his arms around her smiling dropping a kiss on her head. From the time Khushi has given him another chance his smile did not leave his lips.

Gupta House,

Garima opened the door to see all Raizada clan except Anjali standing before them. She looked at them confused but welcomed them in.

Everyone settled down around the couch and chairs available. Garima and Buaji looked at Payal who too shrugged as if she too doesn't know the reason.

Nani 'I know you all will have doubt on why sudden appearance. We too don't know why we are called here'

Buaji 'hai re naandhikishore what are you saying?'

Nani 'Madhumathi ji Chotte called me today morning asking us to arrive to Gupta house'

Gupta's looked at them shocked. Payal too surprised looked at Akash, Akash 'I too don't know Payal ji.'

With confusion, doubt, question all sat waiting for the unknown for why Arnav asked everyone to gather in Gupta house.

Another hour passed when they heard the sound of car pulling over before their house. Second later two familiar people stood before them.

Buaji's anger spiked 'See see this with your own eyes I said it to all he is the person behind Khushi's kidnapping. I knew it' Oh well not only she everyone knew it. How could they not? First if Khushi was kidnapped by someone else then Arnav would have been the first person running here to find her, save her....not to stay at London for his damned meeting as if it is not trivial matter. Secondaly no one was able to contact him. It was left with only option that it is him behind all this.

Khushi coming inside 'bua ji please shaant hojayiye'

Akash went near Arnav whispering 'bhai you gave us all heart attack. It was high time for me to handle Payal and Gupta's' Arnav just looked at him calm and composed.

Buaji 'How can I? How dare he?'

Garima coming to her 'and Khushi why are you siding him?'

Khushi looked at them helpless.

Arnav in his firm tone 'Because she loves me and we wish to marry each other again'

All looked at him with open mouth gasping in shock. Maami 'hello hi bye bye Kaa kahat ho Arnav bitwa'

Nani 'Chotte!!!'

Buaji caught hold of Khushi's arm 'What is he telling? You love him even after what he did to you?'

Khushi looked down, Garima came to her, cupping her face 'Khushi it is not true right? You can't love him after whatever happened between you both?'

Khushi's tear welled up, Payal 'Khushi chup rahene se kuch nahiin hoga'

She looked at her saying slowly 'The truth is I never hated him, I could not and would ever be able to. I was hurt but not was in hate. The truth is I love him jiji. *looking at her amma, buaji, babuji and Payal* I cannot live without him'

Gupta's stood shocked at her confession. Nani breathed in relief seeing not all is lost in her grandson's life. She can be called selfish but selfish she is for Khushi to be in her chotte's wife.

Khushi kneeling before Shashi, taking his hand softly 'I tried babu ji. I really tried hating him but I could not. How can I hate him? That will be end of me. End of Khushi if Arnav cease to exist in her life' Shashi blinking his eyes to clear the blurriness kept his hand above her with difficulty.

Buaji 'Are you sure Khushi? Is this what you want? At the end we want is your happiness betiya. If you are happy with him then okay for us *then glaring at Arnav* if he hurts you again then I'll be the most worst person for him'

Arnav jokingly shocking everyone again raised his hand in surrender.

Garima sighing dramatically 'Love is crazy. So it came and bit you, the craziest person on earth'

Khushi wiping her tears looked at her pouting.

Nani wiping her tears, oh it is happy tears 'So when Chotte and Khushi betiya has declared their love before us then it now our turn to get them married before they elope again' all chuckled while Arnav and Khushi glanced at each other one blushing other smirking.

Buaji 'Haan Devyani ji'

Nani walked to Khushi, hugged her close to her heart kissing her forehead. Maama patted her head while she took blessing from both Maami and him. Payal hugged her 'you sure right?'

Khushi smiling 'haan jiji, more than anything'

Akash hugged his brother 'I'm happy for you bhai'

Nani 'I'll talk with Pandit ji to fix the date of wedding and other rituals'

Khushi 'Nani ji!!!'

Nani 'haan betiya'

Khushi looked at Arnav, both remembering the conversation happened while they were heading from airport to Gupta house.

Arnav 'This time we will have all the rituals. We will have grand wedding. Like fairy tale wedding you always dreamt'

Khushi cupped his face 'No Arnav ji, I don't want fairy tale wedding. I want a simple wedding only with family members in temple'

Arnav shocked 'but Khushi....'

Khushi cut him off 'Arnav ji you said Di still had not come out of her illusion. She hates me *Arnav tried to open his mouth* No don't say anything. After what you said I can guess she hates me. It will not be good. What will she think? She will think we are overlooking her sadness, her problem and is happy. She will feel she does not mean anything to us. We will have simple wedding.'

Arnav 'Khushi!!! No this time I'm not going to over look your dreams and wishes. Di is important to me but then you too are. You both have your own place in my heart. If Di is my mother then you are my life. She has to understand this and till when she will live in her illusion of her husband to be the God in her life'

Khushi 'nahiin, you said right? Everything will happen according to my wish then I want simple wedding, bas. And when I've my prince I don't need any fairytale wedding. All that important for me is You, that is all I want and ever will wish for'

Arnav hugged her sideways dropping a kiss on her forehead 'Hamesha!!!'

Nani 'kya huwa betiya'

Khushi 'I and Arnav ji have decided to do simple wedding with family members'

All looked at her bewildered, Maami's plan of shopping for saree and jewelries in abundance went down the drain.

Maami 'bhat (what) bhy (why)'

Nani ignoring Maami 'why betiya?'

Payal 'haan Khushi you always wanted huge wedding'

Khushi 'That was in past. But now all I want is simple wedding'

Maama 'if betiya wants then why to argue over it. It is their wedding and they should be the one to decide. If they want simple wedding then we will give simple wedding'

Khushi 'and....'

Garima 'and?'

Khushi 'and only wedding'

All other looked at her wide eye, buaji 'hai re nandhkishore'

Akash 'Khushi ji, is this really you want? Or bhai?' Arnav glared at him which made him shut up.

Nani looked at Arnav 'Chotte....'

Arnav 'What? it is all her decision. I was planning to give her dream wedding with every ritual but she does not wish to instead is going for simple wedding'

Maami 'but why?'

Arnav sighed 'Di!!!' all went quite. They all knew Anjali will never agree to this marriage and moreover she still believes her husband is an Angel and Khushi is the dayan in her life.

Nani sighing in defeat 'okay as you wish betiya' she cupped Khushi's face with affection 'I'm happy for you to come in my grandsons' life. You are a real Angel betiya who only knows to gives happiness. We are sorry we hurt you lot'

Khushi 'No nani ji don't say sorry. It is all past now'

Maama 'you have big heart betiya.' She patted her head with love.

That morning Gupta's and Raizada sat down calmly chatting with ease and laughter filling the house after very long months.

One week later, Arnav and Khushi got married in DeviMaya temple with family member's presence including Aman with only exception Anjali. She as expected did not react well.

All moved out of the mandir smiling. Khushi's bidaai was done from mandir itself. Raizadas moved to Raizada Mansion with newly married couple.

This time Khushi was welcomed with smile on everyone's face. Maami did the aarthi and Arnav lifted her in his arms entering inside the house after she pushed the kalash.

All started going towards Devimaya mandir in the home when Anjali came with her baby with a HP carrying a bag in his hand following her. Everyone looked at her and then at the bag.

Arnav 'Di?'

Anjali 'Don't call me Di. I said to you I don't want her as your wife. She is behind your money and does not love you. But you went against me and married her bringing her home. I'm leaving the home'

Arnav 'Di you can't do this? Di you are thinking wrong. Khushi loves me. Please come out of the veil you have covered on your mind.'

Anjali 'You are blinded by her fake love. What and all did I not do for you Chotte? *He whispered Di, but Anjali unleashed everything in her anger* I even went to the extent to kill my own child before your eyes so you could throw her out your life'

All gasped at her in shock. Nani getting hold of her arms 'do you know what you are saying?'

Anjali 'yes, I saw Chotte searching for me in the hospital running around the corridors so I pretended to kill my child so he could hate Khushi. She is reason for everything happening bad in our house'

Arnav looked at her in disbelief and hurt. He staggered back away from her.

Nani slapped her hard 'How can you?' they could not believe in her blind faith and love for that unfaithful man she has dared to harm her child only for Arnav to throw Khushi out of their life. How can she?

Khushi cried silently hearing her and looking at Arnav's painful expression.

Anjali looked at Nani shocked 'Nani!!!'

Nani 'don't call me Nani. I never thought you play your own child as a pawn for separating Chotte and Khushi betiya. Do you know what you did? You separated them for your selfishness. For your blind faith in that good for nothing husband'

Anjali 'He loves me. My Shyam ji loves me. It is her....it was all her doing. I'm going to my Shyam ji. Everyone is against him'

Nani shaked her head crying, Maami came forward supporting Nani putting her arm around her shoulder.

Akash 'Di....please come to sense and look at the truth. He is a cheater. A double timing bas****'

Anjali 'Akash!!! Don't call him names. He is very nice man. This is all her fault. This filthy low girl......'

Arnav 'Di!!! *he roared cutting her between* you have said and done too much. You want to go to him, right? No one is going to stop you. You can leave'

She looked at him shocked; she never thought he will say something like this. Anjali 'you are throwing me out of the house for her'

Arnav 'It is you Di. You wanted to go to him. You did everything for almost destroying my life. Leave Di. Go to him'

Maama 'Arnav bitwa....'

Arnav 'No let her go' Nani sat with a thud crying. Anjali 'Fine I'm leaving chotte. You will regret for trusting her'

Arnav 'No Di. It will be you. You will soon realize his true color when he will not have money flowing in his account through you. You will come to know his greediness for money and how he always used you. You will come to know his double face of cheating on you with other women. I wish Di. I really wish for you have the strength to take in his true color'

Anjali wiped her angry tears and started moving for the door with her crying daughter in her arm who got bewildered with elders shouting.

Arnav called 'Di!!!'

He did not turn back to look at her neither she turned back to look at him 'this house will be always open for you and the family members with only exception is you have lost your brother. You have lost your rights on me Mrs. Anjali Jha' he left towards his room not waiting for a moment leaving the shocked family behind who was shattered with the turn of events.

Khushi rushed behind him. Coming inside the room she looked Arnav sitting all defeated on his recliner.

He looked at her with unshed tears. Rushing towards him she sat before him crouching on the floor near his leg but he pulled her up hugging her.

Arnav 'Khushi how can she do this to me? How can she manipulate things to go on her way like this? She betrayed me Khushi. I'll never forgive her'

Khushi 'shhh Arnav ji....shhh everything will be fine'

Arnav 'no how can she? What if we could not have sort of our problems and you had been married off to another man *he shuddered*? If she did not pull that stunt we would have not separated at the first place'

Khushi 'Arnav ji, please calm down. I'm here with you. And I always will be with you'

Anjali came towards the small house of Shyam whispering looking at it 'Shyam ji I've come to correct place where I belong to. I love you Shyam ji. Your Rani Sahiba and Rajkumari has come to you'

She walked on the steps reaching the door. She brought her hand forward to knock the door but got surprised to see the door is already open from inside.

Coming inside she looked around the little home. Anjali 'where is Shyam ji? He must be inside the room' looking at her sleeping daughter 'let us give him surprise' giggling at her own thought she walked towards their room. But she never would have thought in the wildest nightmare to see her Shyam ji with some other woman on their bed too lost in their world to notice her frozen figure.

She stepped back not able to believe her eyes. Her Shyam ji is.....He loved me, isn't it?

She would have fallen down along with her daughter if not for another person hand on her shoulder. With her wide eyes open in shock she turned to her side to see Manorama looking at her with sorry eyes. Shaking her head she pulled Anjali away with anger erupting inside her for that slime man who had all these years had been all along throwing dust on their eyes portraying himself as Good Son in law. It is good that she followed after Anjali to ensure she reaches here safely.

As soon as Anjali came out of the house she broke down crying 'he cheated on me. Maami ji he.....I saw....he is....*she cried some more*'

Maami 'betiya control yourself'

Anjali 'how can he cheat on me? I loved him, worshipped him as God.'

Maami 'come let's go to our home'

With the name of home she cried some more as the force of her own betrayal to her brother and family came to her. Anjali 'for this man I hurt Chotte. He will never forgive me. No one will forgive me'

Maami 'No betiya everyone loves you. And Arnav bitwa, for him you are his mother. He will forgive you. He loves you lot'

Anjali looked at her hopefully but inside she knew Arnav will never forgive her. Even Manorama knows it; she has seen how broken her Arnav bitwa was coming to know of Anjali's betrayal. But both are her children she cannot overlook one for another. She never differentiated them with Akash. She is a mother to them and she will always remain their mother. For her they are all her children.

Few Years later,

Everything seemed to be perfect. Yes it is perfect except for one thing. Arnav did not forgive Anjali. Everyone else in the family had forgiven her after seeing her repentance and remorse with time but Arnav could not. It does not mean he does not care for her because he does. But the relationship between them was not like before.

Anjali being betrayed by Shyam learned hard lesson. She at the earlier had problem to cope up with it but with families support and psychiatrist help she was able to come over her grieve. Now she works as professor in well know college in Delhi. Her daughter has started going to pre-school.

Akash and Payal has moved to USA with their three yr old son Prashanth for the project since his presence needed there. Maami and Maama six months stay with them and six months remains in Delhi with the family. Maama has retired from the office and is enjoying his life with bantering with his wife and playing with his grandchildren.

Nani is happy with being has the luck and God's grace to see her grandchildren's and play with them.

Khushi is running her own catering service. Arnav Singh Raizada has expanded his business all over the world with him spreading his wings on other fields too.

Everyone has changed for good with emerging out strong.

The only thing did not change was Arnav and Khushi's love. No one can say their marriage has crossed four years with his two year daughter Kavya Arnav Singh Raizada apple of their eyes. They are even after their four years of marriage were still like newlywed couple with hopelessly romantic Arnav and Shying Khushi. Arnav does not leave his little family alone even if he has to go for business trip he takes them with him. He just can't stay away from Khushi and now his daughter Kavya. They are his world. Their chotti si duniya is filled with love, care, warmth of one word screaming Happiness. They are happy in their small little world.

The End!!!
