Arnav stayed in the hospital and took good care of Khushi. The family members suggested staying with her, but Arnav never left her side. She soon recovered thanks to the love he showered on her and was discharged from the hospital.

Both families wanted Khushi to stay at the Gupta house before the proper marriage. However, by this time, Arnav was so used to being with her that he bluntly refused, insisting that Khushi would stay with him. Khushi eventually convinced him that it was just for a few days and that after the wedding, she would stay with him permanently. Arnav agreed, much to everyone's relief. But that wasn't the end of it. What Arnav did next left everyone in shock—he packed his bags and went to stay at the Gupta house to take care of Khushi. He never skipped visiting Shantivan daily to check on his Di. Once again, Arnav won the Guptas' hearts with the love and care he showed Khushi. He started understanding Khushi's family, and they became aware of Arnav's every gesture.

During his stay, Arnav consulted a famous doctor about Shashi's condition. The doctor said there was a high chance of recovery soon. After Arnav's insistence, Amma and Buaji agreed to the treatment—after all, Arnav was now like their son. Indeed, he had even started calling Khushi's parents "Amma" and "Babuji." Khushi was very happy with her life, but she was worried about Anjali. She talked to Arnav about it, and he made sure that his Di was kept busy with one thing or another so she wouldn't dwell on her past.

Soon, the wedding preparations began, and Anjali was on cloud nine. She took charge of overseeing everything, and no one stopped her, but of course, Arnav kept an eye on his Di. Shashi recovered gradually, adding to their happiness.

Arnav participated in every ritual with enthusiasm. Khushi's distant relatives, from her father's side, attended the wedding rituals. During the marriage, one of her cousins, Ajay, fell in love with Anjali's nature. Khushi noticed this and was very happy because she knew her Ajay Bhaiya was a good person. Khushi talked to Ajay and told him about Anjali's past, but he was still ready to marry her. Khushi also talked to Arnav about it. He was shocked and initially reluctant to trust anyone with Di's matters. However, Khushi made him realize that Anjali could be happy with Ajay. A somewhat convinced Arnav did a background check on Ajay, and he came out clean. Arnav hesitantly discussed the proposal with Anjali. She was initially shocked but later expressed her reluctance, saying she wasn't ready for any relationship—at least not so soon. Ajay understood her situation and spoke to her directly, saying that he would wait for her, that she could take all the time she needed to decide, and that he would care for her baby as his own. He assured her that her decision would determine their relationship. After that, he never disturbed Anjali.

Now, it was Anjali's turn to fall for him. She began to admire him, and her heart started to beat faster in a way it never had before. She eventually agreed to the proposal—for her family, for her baby, and most importantly, for her newly developed feelings for Ajay. Everyone was overjoyed. Anjali and Ajay's engagement took place on the same day as Arnav and Khushi's wedding. Both functions were held in a grand manner. With Shashi now fit and fine, he performed Khushi's Kanyadaan. Everything went smoothly, except for some negative remarks from a few people, overheard by the family members. They were speaking ill of Anjali. As expected, Arnav put them in their place. Anjali calmed him, saying that people will always talk, but they must focus on the good and ignore the bad. Arnav felt proud of his brave Di. Khushi prayed to her Devi Mayya to keep everyone happy forever.

.........................................

Khushi: Arnavji, hamey neeche utaariye.. warna.. hum zor se chillayenge.. (Arnavji, put me down, or else I'll scream louder..)

Arnav: Jo karna hai karo.. (Do whatever you want..) I don't care..

Khushi: Hey Devimayya.. kaisa pati diya hai aapne hamey..! Sab kya sochenge.. (Oh God! What a husband you have given me.. What will everyone think..?)

Arnav ignored all her rantings and entered Shantivan. Nani, Mami, Anjali, and Payal, who were sitting in the hall, smiled upon seeing them.

Mami (giggling): Ee lo, love birds aaii gaye.. (See there, the love birds have arrived..)

Khushi was embarrassed while Arnav was still holding her in his arms. He then made her sit on the sofa.

Nani: Arnav bitwa, how did you come back so early from the office? And Khushi bitiya, you had gone to the temple, right?

Khushi: Yes, Naniji. I was descending the temple stairs after praying when Arnavji's call came. While talking to him, I slipped and fell down. Hearing my scream, he came to the temple and brought me here.

Anjali (worriedly): Oh my God.. It's just been two weeks since you recovered from the accident pain, and now this..!

Khushi: Relax, Di.. First, hear me out.. Do you know on which step I was when I fell?

Payal: Which step..?

Khushi (giggling): The last step.. It didn't even hurt me..

Arnav: I know, it hurt you, Khushi..

Khushi: No

Arnav: Yes

Khushi: Noooo..

Arnav: Then why did you scream..?

Khushi: I screamed out of shock... I didn't know that you would come running upon hearing my scream..

Arnav: So what..? I was worried..!

Khushi (teasing): Ohho,.. so The Great Arnav Singh Raizada was worried..

Mami: Hello Hi Bye Bye.. ab kyun dono lad rahe ho..? (Why are you both fighting now..?)

Khushi (pointing to Arnav): He started it, Mamiji..! You know, I was sitting on the temple stairs, checking my foot, when he came and took me in his arms right in front of everyone.. And here, he did the same..

Everyone giggled hearing her complaint.

Arnav: You are my wife.. dammit..

Anjali: You both aren't looking like newlyweds.. Who would believe that you both got married just two days ago..?

NK: Mai chaagaya.. (NK came from outside, waving a CD in his hand..)

Khushi: Chaagaya nahi Nanheji... aagaya..!!! (Not "chaagaya," Nanheji... "aagaya"..!!!)

NK: Yes.. yes.. (Seeing Arnav) Nannav.. mere bhai.. you came back from the office... very good.. (Arnav gave him a "what the" look, which he ignored) See this.. I have brought your marriage video..

Khushi (jumping from the sofa): Yeyy..!! Our marriage video..!!

Arnav: Careful..! (No sooner had he said that Khushi screamed in pain and sat on the sofa with a thud..) See, I told you.. it hurt..!!

Khushi: Laad Governor.. it's your mistake, because you didn't even let me stand.. How would I know that it would hurt..?

Arnav: Yes.. everything is my mistake..

Mami: Sasuma, Anjali bitiya... did you both see how hamare Arnav bitwa is accepting defeat.. Hello Hi Bye Bye..

Meanwhile, Payal brought a hot water bag, which Khushi placed on her legs to relieve the pain.

Khushi: Arrey Nanheji.. play the marriage video..

NK: Ok, Khushiji..

NK played Arnav and Khushi's marriage video, which had the recording of every ritual. They all sat together and started watching it.

NK: Wow.. Starting from my favorite part.. The Shagun ceremony.. where Nannav mere bhai was locked in a room so that he couldn't attend it.. (Arnav scowled at him while everyone giggled)

Arnav: You know what, NK.. During your marriage, I'll lock you in a room.. not just for the Shagun ceremony but for all the rituals..

Everyone suppressed their smiles, seeing an irritated Arnav. Who would dare to laugh at him? Yes, you guessed it right..! Khushi laughed out loud, which made him grumpy, and he started moving away from there.

Khushi: Arrey Arnavji stop..! If you go, who will pick me up from here..? (He ignored her excuses and was still moving when she screamed in pain.. He hurried back and sat beside her.)

Arnav: What happened, Khushi..?

Khushi: Nothing (keeping her head on his shoulder) Now I am fine.. (pleading) Let's watch our marriage video, Arnavji.. (Arnav sighed and started watching the video..)

Now the sangeet ceremony was playing, where Arnav and Khushi danced to a romantic song, "Ek Din Teri Bahon Mein.."

Arnav held her hand close to his heart.. and forgetting the video, they both started admiring each other...

Payal (teasing): Di.. (a little louder) The TV is here.. (Payal elbowed a smiling Anjali.. Arnav and Khushi came out of their trance and blushed..)

Khushi (changing the topic): Di.. see how Ajay Bhaiya is admiring you.. (Khushi showed the clip where Ajay was admiring Anjali, who was talking with guests.. Now, it was Anjali's turn to blush..)

Arnav (whispering): Not bad, Khushi.. You've become intelligent.. the way you changed the topic..

Khushi (whispering back): I did you a favor.. I know you don't like being teased...

Arnav (lost in her eyes): Ya right, not like, but I love to be teased nowadays.. (He pulled her close, side-hugging her..)

Khushi (staring at him): What are you doing..? Naniji, Mamiji, Di, Jiji, Nanheji.. everyone is here..

Mami: No problem.. we won't see or hear anything.. (With that, everyone started laughing, leaving Arnav and Khushi embarrassed..)

Arnav: Wo.. I have to make an important call.. (He escaped from there..)

Khushi's lips formed an 'O' shape.. "Laad Governor, if he loves to be teased, then why did he run away?" she huffed.

.............................................

Anjali and Ajay's marriage took place after two months of engagement according to the mahurat, followed by Anjali's godh bharai.

Akash: Khushiji, why did you call us all here?

Khushi: Because you all aren't allowed to come out. It's a ladies' function.

Nk: What, Khushiji? You can't do this. I have learned many dance steps to perform...

Khushi: No problem, Nanheji. You can dance with your brothers here.

Ajay: But Khushi, I'm allowed to come. After all, I am the baby's father.

Khushi: I’m sorry, Bhaiya. You also can't come. (She then saw Arnav, who wasn't saying anything and was working on his laptop.) Arnavji, how can a brother be like you? Don't you want to attend Di's godh bharai?

Arnav: What the..? You want me to attend it?

Khushi: No, I mean, yes. I mean...

Nk: Not fair, Khushiji. Only Nannav is allowed?

Khushi: No, Nanheji.

Arnav: Exactly. When no gents are allowed to enter, then what's the use of wasting time asking to let us attend the function?

Khushi: Haaw..! You laadgovernor.. (angrily) Do you know what is the use of asking permission? Then listen, Ajay Bhaiya, Akash Jijaji, and Nanheji, you all can attend the function. (Pause) Except Arnavji, because he doesn't want to waste his time.

Akash/Nk: Thank you, Khushiji. (They both ran out fast.)

Khushi (trying to raise her eyebrows like Arnav does): Now you stay alone here. Let's go, Ajay Bhaiya.

Ajay, smilingly, nodded and went with her. Arnav stood there smirking.

Khushi had convinced everyone to let the gents be present at the function too. Everything was going smoothly. Payal came to Khushi and told her to call the caterers as they hadn't arrived yet. Khushi started searching her mobile. Payal then said she would tell Akash to call and left. Khushi was still searching her mobile when she remembered that she had left it in her room. She went there to get it and was about to enter when she heard Arnav talking to someone.

Arnav: It's okay, Jijaji. It was easy for me to make you all attend the function. (Pause) Di took her medicine? (Pause) Great. Okay, you guys have fun. I'll finish some work here... (He ended the call and turned to see Khushi staring at him.) Uhh..! Khushi, you’re here?

Khushi: So, it was your plan..!!

Arnav: Actually, Khushi...

Khushi: How could you, Arnavji? You proved me a fool in front of everyone..! You already knew how I’d respond to your act..!! How could you manipulate me? (She turned away.)

Arnav (hugging Khushi from behind): Khushi, first listen to me.

Khushi: What? (She pushed him.)

Arnav (sighing): Ajay Jijaji wanted to attend the function. He wanted to be with Di...

Khushi (facing him): You could have told me this straight!

Arnav: If I had said, you wouldn't have agreed. So...

Khushi: So, you manipulated me? And gents aren't allowed in godh bharai. It's a ritual.

Arnav: Okay, let’s just think. On the day of your godh bharai, whom would you want to be present with you? To share your happiness when ladies wish you good luck?

Khushi started blushing, imagining her godh bharai. Arnav smirked at his success.

Khushi: You... (She lowered her gaze.)

Arnav raised her face to see her blushing clearly. She shied and hugged him.

Arnav: So, Ajay Jijaji asked for my help, and I wanted him to be with Di. That's why I helped him.

Khushi: You did right. (She hugged him tightly.)

Arnav: And don’t worry, Khushi. I'll be present at your godh bharai to sit with you and my princess.

Khushi: Princess?

Arnav: Yes, my daughter...

Khushi: No, it will be my son.

Arnav: Princess.

Khushi: Champ.

And their argument started again. This almost happens every time they talk. These lovely nok-jhok (arguments) make them a unique pair made for each other.

After a month, Anjali had a baby girl, later named Nisha, who spread happiness with her existence. True to Khushi's saying, she and Arnav had a baby boy after two years of their marriage.

Arnav was very happy to be a dad. When he and Khushi held their baby in their arms for the first time, their eyes became moist. They felt complete. Arnav kissed Khushi, thanking her for the beautiful gift in the form of their son.

Arnav (amazed): Khushi, see.. he is so tiny.

Khushi nodded. She was very happy to see Arnav’s caring side. He was holding their son with utmost care. Arnav and Khushi kissed their prince and shared a group hug.

Arnav: Khushi, aaj wahi din hai, jis din maine tumse zabardasti shadi ki.. wahi Ek din jo hamare liye khaas hai.. usi din sari burayi khatam hui aur hamne apni dil ki baat ek dusre ko batayi.. aur aaj yahi din hamare bete ka janamdin hai.. Aaj se ye Ek din hamare liye sabse khaas hai.. (Today is the same day when I married you forcefully.. the same day which is special for us because that day, all the evil was finished, and we confessed our love to each other.. and today, the same day is our son’s birthday.. From today, this day is very special for us..)

Khushi: Hamesha.. (Forever and ever..!)

The End
