Both entered Shantivan, as they were passing living room Anjali called him who was lounging on the sofa with mami and Payal 'Chotte!!! Come here.' Khushi left his hand and went to their rooms without looking at anyone. Arnav moved to his sister smiling weakly 'haan Di.'

Anjali pouting 'where were you yesterday?'

Arnav 'Er....I..and Khushi...'

Mami 'Now a day's Arnav bitwa seems to forget his sister for his wife.'

Arnav irritated 'Why are you bringing her in the conversation mami? It was my choice to spend some time with her, she never asked me to stay away from my family and my Di. Like I love you all I love her too, she too needs my attention like mama ji gives you.' that shut mami's mouth.

Anjali 'chotte is this way to talk with your elder's.'

Arnav 'I never intend to hurt her but she had no reason to bring Khushi between us. For me Khushi and you have their own place in my heart.' Saying this he stood up 'I'm going to my room Di.' While moving up 'HP HP'....HP came running 'bring black coffee and tea for me and Khushi in my room.' Ordering HP he went to his room with spoiled mood.

Arnav saw Khushi is in poolside, he went over there 'What happened? Are you hiding something Khushi? you are so silent from the time we came from temple.'

Khushi keeping her head on his shoulder 'nahiin Arnav I'm just thinking about my parents. Wished they are alive today. They would have welcomed us with warming smile without judging our love. Isn't it?'

Arnav made her to look up at him and horrified to see tears in her eyes 'Khushi!!! Tell me na, Something happened in your house which upset you? Did anyone tell you anything?'

Khushi shaking her head negatively 'I just miss my parents today.'

Arnav hugged her pulling her close to himself who buried her face in his chest weeping silently wetting his shirt. A knock came on the door, he pulled himself and wiping her tears asking her not to cry went to see who is on the door, HP came with the tray of coffee and tea and placed them on poolside table where they are sitting.

Arnav 'Khushi amma and babu ji will not like to see you crying.' Looking at her 'if you cry like this they will be mad at me and will complaint to mama about how your son is not keeping our daughter happy. Do you want amma and babu ji to be upset with their son in law? Mama is surely going to be upset with me.' Khushi smiled at him saying 'they will not complaint about you to mama because they love you already; in fact they will be scolding me to not behave childishly and behave like a married girl without doing any of my childish pranks on you.'

Arnav 'yeah you did trouble me lot with your pranks.'

Khushi retorting 'It is because I was angry on you that time.'

Arnav asked 'now you are not.'

Khushi 'yes because now I know how to tackle this Rakshas and turn him into RajKumar.'

Arnav raising his eye brows 'you are so confident.'

Khushi 'koi shak' {any doubt}

Arnav 'nah!!!' both sipped their beverage smiling, NK came there all cheerful 'hello love birds'

Khushi 'Nanhe ji!!!'

NK 'yeah Nanhe ji your friend, I thought you forgot me after your husband came.'

Khushi chuckling at his pouting face 'nah how I can forget my best friend.'

Arnav 'yeah right, how can one pagal forget another.'

Khushi 'Arnav!!!'

NK 'leave him Khushi ji he is jealous on seeing our friendship'

Arnav 'oye hello why would I be jealous, if she is your friend then she is my wife.'

NK 'haan haan but she became my friend first than your wife.' Arnav scoffed at him 'then she was my employee before becoming your friend'

Khushi 'stop it you two, why you both always fight like kids?'

Arnav 'he started it.'

NK 'what to do irritating Nanav is my favorite pass time.'

Khushi laughed 'where were you Nanhe ji? You were not here when we came back.'

NK 'I went to Mall for shopping.'

Arnav 'Shopping?'

NK 'yeah wanted to buy a gift for you both so thought to have a visit in mall.'

Khushi 'there is no need for any gift Nanhe ji.'

NK 'I know you will say this, but I wanted to gift you both something. Wait a minute I'll bring the gift.' Asking them to wait he went out and came with a gift wrapped big box. He giving to Khushi asked to open it; he waited for their reaction sitting on chair available opposite to their recliner.

Khushi opened the box slowly and inside there were boxes in small and medium size wrapped in beautiful cover. She picked one small box and opened it; inside there was beautiful Her One, His Only Necklace and Keychain Set. In another one there was gold tree necklace. Next one photo frame with their picture.Khushi ran her hands loving on the frame, it was teri meri photo.

Khushi then keeping it aside took an album; itwas their wedding album, next came wedding DVD, Khushi looking at all the gifts brightened 'thank you so much Nanhe ji, I love all this, these are so lovely.'

NK 'uff I thought will my gift be good enough for you both.'

Arnav 'It is very lovely gift NK, you had given us the memory of our most cherish able day.' Khushi turning to Arnav 'Arnav I want to see our wedding DVD, please play it na.' Arnav was going to get up, NK 'wait I'll bring your laptop.' He brought Arnav's laptop and inserted the DVD inside and played click. The video started playing from the time Khushi got down from the car with the help of Arnav, Khushi jumped seeing the day of her wedding, Arnav smiled at her keeping his hands on her shoulder pulling her close to himself watching the movie play in his laptop. They enjoyed their wedding DVD with NK's commentary about everything happened that day.

HP came there to call them for dinner that they realized it is now 8 pm and time passed while they engrossed in Arnav and Khushi's wedding movie. Khushi kept the entire gift safely inside the room, Arnav and NK dragged her down turning deaf ear for her protest. NK 'Khushi ji come with us, till when you are going to hide in your room because of what others think.'

Arnav 'exactly NK, put some sense in her brain, let us see if she listens at least to her friend or not.'

Khushi 'I'm not hiding from anyone; I just don't want to upset Di.'

NK 'she is not; you are thinking too much, you too are family member who has full rights to sit among the family.'

Arnav 'Khushi you are coming with me or I'm going to have my dinner here with you and will ask HP to bring our breakfast, lunch and dinner to our room till the time you are not ready to come out and sit with others'

NK 'me too, I'll too go in strike mode, no I'll not disturb you both but will have my food in my room all alone.'

Khushi failed to convince them went down, mami made face at her, Payal behaved as if she is invisible and served other's leaving Khushi, Khushi just kept her head down not looking at anyone, Arnav 'Khushi will you not serve me.' Khushi looked at him who showed his eyes to the empty plate before him, she looked at Payal who was stopped to serve him when she was going to put roti in his plate. Arnav 'I want my wife to serve me.' Payal kept the Cassrole on table and took her seat beside Akash.

Nani 'bitiya he is waiting.' Khushi nodding started serving him, she then took her place and served herself what looked like a two year old kid is going to have the food, Arnav sighing piled her plates with two roti's and a cup of daal with rice. Arnav 'now have them.' Khushi looked down at her plate and started having them not looking up at anyone where she will only witness hate for her.

Anjali 'chotte!! try this kheer I made especially for you.' She extended a cup to him which he took smiling 'thanks Di.'

NK 'wow Di you had kept Kheer for Nanav.'

Anjali 'how can I forget my brother'

Mami ' Anjali bitiya will never forget Arnav bitwa even if he seems to forget her.' Arnav clutched the spoon tighter, Khushi did not dare to raise her head but can see her husband's stiff posture.

NK 'I too want some DI.'

Anjali 'no NK bhai Kheer got finished, I already gave you your part of Kheer in the evening.'

NK playfully 'then where is Khushi ji's kheer. She did not have any, did she? She too loves Kheer na even though Kheer is her next favorite sweet after Jalebi.' Arnav looked at his sister who seemed flustered, Khushi did not seem to least bothered of this, she knew they deliberately left her knowing well she too loves Kheer.

Anjali 'Er...I forgot.'

Arnav swallowing 'It's okay Di, I'll share my Kheer with her, she can taste sugar free one today.' Anjali smiled at him weakly and started having her food without looking at anyone.

NK looked at Khushi and Arnav to see their fallen face; he knew his brother and friend are hurt due to their family member's behavior towards Khushi. He is seeing all from the time that breakfast incident to now this Kheer, they deliberately seems to show Khushi that she does not belong to them.

NK trying to lighting the mood 'yes yes Nanav I know why you want to share your Kheer with Khushi ji, it is because meetha khaane se pyar badtha hai, haina (love increases between the two people when they share sweets, right?')'

Arnav playing along with him 'why are you feeling jealous not able to share your sweet?'

NK 'nah I know soon I'll share my sweet with someone special who will be mine.'

Arnav 'oh really.'

NK 'yes do you have problem in that, I'll show you, wait and watch.'

Arnav 'oh please as if I'm dying to see you feeding your sweet to someone special.'

Nani 'stop NK and Chotte.' Arnav passed his half cup of Kheer to Khushi, Khushi slowly 'Arnav you have them na.'

Arnav 'Arey I'm full, now have them otherwise a nice tasty kheer will go waste.' Khushi had it reluctantly but was pleased with her husband's gesture.
