Part 46 Khushali was found 

Arnav saw Mr. and Mrs. Gupta at RM. Garima was shocked to see the same man who came to GH standing in front of her. She could not believe he was the same man because both had sky-to-earth differences. The man who came to GH looked simple but the man in front of her was completely opposite to him with the three-piece suit, well-gelled hair, wearing a costly watch on his wrist. He looked damn handsome.

Arnav smiled inwardly understanding her mind. He decided not to show he was the same man and asked as if he didn't know who they were.

"May I know who are you?"

Garima frowned as his voice didn't sound the same as the man who came to GH. How did it sound the same if Arnav spoke slightly changing it?

"We want to meet Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada," Said Shashi.

"Yeah, it's me," Arnav said.

"We recently got to know your whereabouts..."

"My whereabouts? Ok... so?" Arnav asked.

"We want to talk to you about our daughter Khushi," Shashi said.

"Khushi...? Are you the parents of Khushi? Please get in" Arnav gave them space to enter.

"Do you know her?" Shashi entered with Garima while asking and got stuck seeing the grandness of RM.

"Of course, I know her. She is working in my company A2" Arnav said that making Garima surprised.

"Is it?" Garima asked unbelievably.

"Yeah, didn't you know that?" Arnav questioned.

"We thought it was Anjali's husband Aman's company..."

"I and Aman are partners"

"Oh, I see"

"Who are they Chotte?" Ratna asked.

"They are Khushi's parents, Mom"

"Oh, welcome to our home. Khushi and my daughter Lavanya are college mates. Khushi is a nice girl. We like her very much. Please take your seats" Ratna greeted them with respect.

Shashi and Garima looked at each other with satisfaction. They liked Raizadas. Lavanya who came downstairs heard that and rushed to them.

"Are you Khushi's parents?" she asked.

They nodded yes.

"Wow, I wanted to meet you guys... thank God you came here. By the way, didn't Khushi come with you?"

"No, beta, we came here to meet your brother," Shashi said.

"So what? She is his PA only"

"Is it? But she said she is Aman's PA..."

"She was... I just changed her as my PA yesterday only" Arnav said.

"Oh..."

"You said you are here to talk about Khushi. What happened to her? Is she alright?" Arnav asked.

"She is alright"

"Ok... what do you want to talk to me about her?" Arnav asked not showing his curiosity.

Shashi looked at Garima hesitatingly. Ratna and Lavanya spared a glance, whereas Arnav stayed cool.

"Actually, Khushi's REAL name is Khushali" Said Shashi reading their expressions.

"Whaaaat?" came from Raizadas with shock.

Arvind was the one who was more shocked than anyone.

"Yes, we found her in Kedarnath fifteen years ago. As we were not blessed with a child, we adopted her as our daughter. She told us that she was married to you..."

Cutting him,

"How do you know he was her husband?" Arvind asked.

"Khushi told us everything that happened to her. She always talked about him"

"If it is true, why didn't you bring her to us?" Arvind asked and Arnav didn't stop him. He wanted Arvind to get his doubt cleared.

"At first, we were not ready to return her to you. But I could not tolerate her sadness. So, I came to Lucknow searching for you but you were not there. I heard you shifted to Delhi"

"How could we trust your words? Do you have any proof that she is Khushali?"

Shashi looked at Garima. She took the Mangal Sutra out of her bag and gave it to them. Ratna took it from her hand excitedly and nodded her head, looking at Arnav.

"The same Star Mangal Sutra..." Ratna's eyes tear up.

Arvind gulped down hard. From where did these guys come?

"Khushi was wearing this Managal Sutra when we saved her from the flood. We removed it from her neck after putting a lot of effort because we didn't want her to remember her husband who was not with her"

"Did she forget me?" Came from Arnav.

"It didn't happen easily. She cried a lot thinking about you. She wanted to go to you but we could not find you. As we could not find you, we diverted her mind from you. It took nearly one year for her to forget you"

Garima removed Khushi's childhood photo and gave it to them.

"Khushi always questioned why we don't have her childhood photos. We have only her eight-year-old photo... this is the first one we captured after we got her" Garima said.

Ratna caressed Khushi's photo emotionally.

"Our Khusha..." she murmured.

Lavanya snatched the photo and smiled with emotion.

"That means, Khushi is my bhabi... Bhai, your waiting came to an end and it was worth it" Lavanya said hugging Arnav, spilling tears.

Arnav became emotional seeing his mother and sister emotional. He saw Arvind standing like a statue not reacting to it. He didn't know what to say.

"If you guys still have doubt, you can test Khushi's DNA if any of her family members are here" Garima added which made all of them speechless and Arnav smiled inwardly.

Arvind's shock was not estimated. He was supposed to ask them for the DNA test to test them whether they would be firm. He was nervous as he got Khushi's promise and restricted her from telling the truth. Khushi knew everything about his plan. What if she told Arnav about it? Arnav would not leave him easily if he got to know about the promise. Arvind was suffocating like hell.

"Does Khushi know all of this?" Lavanya asked excitedly.

"Not yet, Beta... we just got to know who her husband Arnav Singh Raizada is. We don't want to tell her anything before meeting him. That's why we didn't say anything to her"

"Is she at home, or, went to the office?"

"She would have gone to the office"

"Yeah, there is an important meeting at the office today," Arnav said

He knew why Lavanya inquired about Khushi. She wanted to bring Khushi to RM. Of course, Ratna would also like to do that but he didn't want it to happen because he wanted to meet Khushi first. That was why he lied that they had a meeting. But as he didn't expect, Ratna said.

"Postpone the meeting or, ask Aman and Akash to take care of it... I'm going to call her here" Said Ratna strictly making Arnav disappointed.

Taking her mobile, Ratna called Khushi. She saw the call that just entered A2. She was perplexed to see Ratna's number. She became nervous. Why was Ratna calling her? Didn't they trust Shashi and Garima? What would she ask her? What would she say? She didn't know what her parents told them.

She attended the call in the last ring nervously.

"Hello, Aunty..." She said composing herself.

"Hi, Khushi..."

"How are you, aunty?"

"I won't answer"

"But why?"

"I want you to come to RM. Then only you will get the answer"

"I will try to come soon, Aunty"

"No way... I want you to be here now"

"Now? I'm in the office, Aunty. We have an important meeting today" She lied but synchronized with Arnav.

"yeah, Chotte told us about the damn meeting. Aman and Akash will take care of it. You come here"

"I should get Mr. Raizada's permission, Aunty"

"Wait... Mr. Raizada, she seeks your permission" Ratna said not covering the phone edge.

Arnav took the phone smilingly and said,

"Come to RM, Khushi... we are waiting for you"

"But why?"

"Because I'm your Boss... obey the order. Ok?"

Khushi rolled her eyes.

"Take a cab and come to RM. Don't bring your bike" he said as he wanted her to come to the office with him in his car.

"Ok, sir"

She disconnected the call.

"Mr. Boss... you can't order her after your wedding because she will become Mrs. Boss..." Lavanya teased.

Arnav smiled.

"Hari Prakash, bring something for them"

"That's ok, madam... we just had breakfast"

"Nothing doing... Hari Prakash, go and do what I say. Prepare lunch for all of us"

"Jee maaji" Hari Prakash went to the kitchen.

Raizadas and Guptas spoke many things. Arvind was silent. There was nothing to question them as they had perfect proof. Arnav was observing him and his expression. It was clear Arvind was not happy about what was happening. There was no happiness on his face. The man who wanted his son to get married looked gloomy. But, Arnav was not in the mood to mind about it. He just wanted to celebrate his and Khushali's reunion. As of now, there was nothing in his mind other than that.
