Next morning. Abhi woke up early than usual. He saw Vaish and khushi sleeping peacefully. He smiled looking at them.

Abhi's pov: Never knew mere bhi puri family hain. I am not orphan. Mom, dad, dadi, bhai, behan hain mere. I can't blame Kartik or Vaish. Meri hi safety ke liye kiya hain unhone sab. Sab mujhe miss karte hain as Avni said. I don't know main unse kaise miluga, kya boluga. Vo log mujhe yo pehchan lege main kaise pehchan pauga unko but again same point main Vaish, Kartik ya Naira ko bhi nahin pehchan paya but today I do trust on them like anything.

Khushi cuddled to Abhi more. He sensed her and came back to senses. He smiled and took her.

Khushi (squeaking): Papa.

He made her lay on his chest and patted her head. She quickly cuddled to him and went back to sleep.

Abhi (caressing her hair, wisper): Aap apne dadu, dadi, chachu, bua sab se mil kar aaye ho. I know you even love to spend time with them. Baby papa ko batao kaise mile un sab se papa.

He snapped to his side as he heard Vaish's voice.

Vaish (wisper): Baby papa ko bolo aese sochne se acha mil le. Unki family unko ache se samajhegi.

Abhi saw her and smiled.

Vaish (in low voice): Abhi sorry for this but just ek baar soch kar dekho if by any chance tumhe khushi se aese door hona pade to kya haal hoga tumhara. I am sorry for such words Abhi. I am sorry.

Abhi closed his eyes, hugging khushi tight.

Vaish (calmly): Zara soch kar dekho tumhare parents ka kya hua hoga. Unko kitna dukh hua hoga. Siddharth to kal bhi bahut ro raha tha. Ek baar mil lo unse Abhi. Main ye nahin bolugi ke unke sath raho ya accept them in once but just unko ek relief milegi tumse mil kar, baat karke. Tum kartik and Naira ke parents se bhi to mile the as stranger jab ke vo to tumhe jante the. Everyone understood your state of mind. Yaha to tumhare apne parents hain.

Abhi (nodded): Aaj mil sakte hain? I mean if we can? I don't know yaar...
Vaish: If you are ready then Yes.

Abhi nodded. Vaish kiss on his forehead with smile. Abhi smiled back.

Vaish: Listen, I trust you. I am always with you, by your side in every situation, decision.

Abhi nodded with wide smile.

Vaish: Main Avni ko inform kar deti hoon.

Vaish went to call avni. Abhi looked at khushi, caressing her hair. After a minute vaish came back.

Vaish: Let's get ready abhi. Avni ne bola 9tak driver aayega lene.
Abhi: Vaishu abhi sirf 7.30 hue hain. Vo so rahi hogi. Tumne uski neend kharab kar di.
Vaish: Sid ko rote hue dekh uski neend vaise bhi gayi. Or she was really happy listening this. Usne bola vo abhi hi ready ho kar jayegi Siddharth ke ghar to inform your parents. Or main breakfast bana deti hoon.

Abhi sighed and nodded.

Vaish went to get ready. Abhi laid there only caressing khushi's hair.

With Avni. After talking with vaish. She quickly got ready and told her family about Abhi's decision.

Kartik: That's amazing. 9 ko na... main 10 tak jata hoon. Naira ka appointment hain na. Tab tak abhi bhi mil lega. Acts vaish ko bolna Abhi ke sath rahe. I mean abhi stressed hua to she can handle him.
Avni (nodded): Papa I need to go. I mean sab ko batana hoga. Sid akele nahin kar sakega.

Aman nodded with smile. Avni bid her family bye and went to Nigam mansion. She went and saw Vibha and Shila having tea.

Vibha (saw her): Avneet itni subah subah tum yaha? Sab theek to hain na?
Avni (touching their feets): Namaste dadi. Namaste aunty. Ji aunty. Mujhe aap sab se bahut jaruri baat karni thi. Siddharth kaha hain?
Shila: Utha nahin hain abhi tak. Davai ke vajah se shayad.
Avni: Dadi mujhe na aap sab se bahut jaruri kaam hain. Main Siddharth ko utha kar aau?
Vibha: Haan jao. Kiyu bhi so rahi hain.
Avni: Ji main utha deti hoon dono ko.

Avni quickly ran but bumped with Ram near stairs.

Ram: Aaram se beta.
Avni (nodded): Ji uncle. I am sorry.

Ram patted her head. Avni then went in Sid's room. Ram went and sat with Vibha and Shila.

Ram: Ye bahut khush lag rahi hain. Kya baat hain?
Vibha: Pata nahin. Bol rahi hain kuch jaruri baat hain to Ashu or kiyu ko uthane gayi hain.

With Avni. She went in sid's room. She shook sid a few times. He stirred a little and mumble "sone do"

Avni (caressing sid's hair): Sidoo utho... Abhi bhai aa rahe hain.

Listening her words. Sid woke up with jerk. He took few seconds and realized everything.

Sid (shocked): Are you serious?
Avni: Yes... Jaldi se ready ho jao. Maine driver uncle ko bhai ka address diya hain. 9 ko lene jayege bhai ko. By 9.30 bhai will be here. Tab tak hume sab ko batana hain.

Sid held avni's hand.

Sid (teary eyes): Bhai aa rahe hain?
Avni (wiped his tears): Haan sid. Yuvraj Abhishek aa rahe hain. Tumhe unka welcome karna hain na?
Sid: Yess.
Avni: Come on. Shaam bhai (servant) will help you. Jaldi se ready ho jao then sab ko batana hain bhai ke aane se pehle. Jaldi jaldi.
Sid (happily): Haan main abhi ready ho jata hoon. Tum kiyu ko utha do.

Avni nodded and went in kiyu's room. She woke her. Everyone got ready and went down.

Shila: Aesi kya baat hain hume bhi batao. Itni khush lag rahi ho or Ashu tujhe bhi pata hain kya?
Sid: Ji dadi. Main batata hoon.
Kiyu (ordering): Pehle mujhe kuch bolna hain.
Sid: Tu chup ho jaa bilkul. Meri baat bahut important hain.
Kiyu: Haan to? Main bhi bakwaas nahin karne wali. Pehle main hi bolugi.
Ram: Haan dono bata dena. Ashu bolne de usse choti hain.

Sid roll his eyes and controlled his excitement.

Kiyu: Bhai suno aap free and kuch dang ka kaam bhi nahin hain aapke pass. To ek kaam kar lo. Mujhe niece laa kar de do.
Sid (ignoring kiyu): Bol liya tune? Now my turn.
Kiyu (irritated): Mujhe niece chaye. Vaise bhi to vellapan kar rahe ho. Laa kar de do ek. Kya dikkat hain aapko?
Avni (to avoid Sidkiyu's fight): Kiyu tumhe tumhari niece mil jayegi but now important topic hain hum baat kar le please?

Everyone snapped at Avneet. Sid was shocked.

Kiyu (smirk): Kahin us hi ke related to baat nahin? Bhabhi are you pregnant?
Vibha (scolding): Bade bhai and bhabhi se aese baat karte hain kiyu?
Kiyu (pout): Huh! sorry.
Sid (glaring kiyu): Chup ho jaa abhi bilkul..... haan to mujhe ye bolna tha.

He gathered all this courage and shared everything with his family. Everyone got shocked and was numb but their heart fluttered. Everyone was crying mess.

(A/N: Everything as in what avni told him. Not whole flashback)

Sid (wiping Vibha's tears): Mom... bhai aayege in half hour. 9.30 tak hume rona nahin hain. Welcome karna hain unka.
Shila (sobbing, muffled voice): Ashu bilkul sahi bol raha hain. Mera Veer aa raha hain.
Ram (wiping his tears): Par usko hum yaad nahin hain.
Sid: Koi baat nahin dad. Bhai ko vapas aane do hum bahut saari nayi yaadein banayege.
Kiyu (breaking down): Bhai sahi bol rahe hain papa.

Avni hug her tight. Rubbing her back.

Avni: Kiyu calm down. Or aese rone me time waste to preparations kaise karoge?
Shila (stood up, wiping her tears): Main maid ko bolti hoon Veer ke liye halwa banaye. Uske pasand ka.

She was about to go but stumbled and lost her balance. Sid held her and made her sit properly.

Sid (hugging her): Dadi calm down. Hum sab karege bhai ke liye par pehle shant ho jao.

She hug him and started crying more.

Ram (trying to control his sob): Mera Veer aa raha hain.

Everyone was having mess of emotions. They all took few minutes but calm down. But on very next moment. They heard car honk.

Meanwhile with Abhinavi. Abhinavi were ready. Khushnavi were in living area. Vaish was getting khushi ready. Abhi was in room, preparing his mind. They heard a car honk.

Khushi (jumping from sofa): Eee!!!
Vaish: Khushi aaram se.
Khushi (running outside): Yesh Yesh mumma.

She ran out of house to see a car there. She saw driver coming out of car.

(A/N: The one who came to drop khushi)

Khushi (giggle): Alee!! Uncle namate (namaste)

She said joining her hands. Driver smiled.

Driver (joining his hands): Namaste betiya.
Khushi: Yeshh..

She ran inside.

Abhi: Everything will be fine?
Vaish: Yes abhi. Everything will be good.

Just then khushi came in.

Khushi (excitedly chirping): Mummaa uncle come come come. Me go Cidoo home?
Vaish: Hmm... Yes but mumma, papa bhi sath me chalege.
Khushi (excited): Yesh Yesh mumma. Me go to uncle.

She ran out of house.

Abhi (shocked): Ye kya staff ko bhi janti hain vaha ke?
Vaish (giggle): No idea but I guess so Yes. Chale?

Abhi nodded. Both went out to see khushi already sitting in car. Driver saw Abhi and got super shock.

Driver: Yuv... Yuvraj aap... aap yaha?

Abhi felt nervous. He was out of words. Tears roll down from driver's eyes.

Vaish: Vo... vo attacker se bachane ke liye Abhishek ko chupaya tha.

Abhi gave vaish a confused look. She nodded

Driver (joining his hands): Aap sahi Salamat hain hume isse zyada kya chaye. Humare Yuvraj hume vapas mile sahi Salamat Salamat bada din kya hoga humare Rajya ke liye.

Driver composed himself.

Driver: Aaiye Yuvraj... Mahal me sab aapko dekh bahut khush. Aaye...

He said bowing a little, making Abhi more nervous. Vaish held his hand, squeezing it. The sat in car. Driver smiled widely looking at khushi.

Driver: Aap to humari choti Rajkumari hain. Bilkul natkhat Rajkumari ke tarah.

Khushi giggle, Vaish smiled. Abhi was nervous but smiled little. Driver drove off to Nigam mansion.

TBC.....

Too long chapter.
Favorite scene?

I agree world is too cruel but don't judge a book by its cover. Everyone were doubting on Kartik who is innocent, everyone had doubt of driver for khushi's safety. He is also innocent.
