Epilogue

As Arnav said, he took Khushi to Delhi after two days. Raizada couple arranged for a grand reception in Delhi that Arnav could not avoid. Raizada's relatives and friends filled the venue hall. Khushi wondered seeing the crowd.

"Do you really have this many people in Delhi?"

"What did you think?"

"How did you avoid all these people without inviting them to our wedding?"

"Just did..."

"You are so mean..."

Arnav chuckled.

Arnav surprised Khushi by taking her to Nainital for the Honeymoon. Though it was for just four days, Khushi enjoyed it well. Arnav didn't want her to miss any important thing in life due to his busy schedule. They enjoyed their honeymoon to the fullest. That helped them to get more and more close to each other. They shared many things and spoke about everything. So, they erased the distance between them.

In Nainital, they saw trees full of RED flowers. It was the BURANSH tree, one of the special features of Nainital. Khushi liked the scenery very much. She got to know that Buransh juice had medicinal value. So, she bought two bottles of juice for her in-laws and parents.

They visited Nanda Devi Temple, the main attraction of Nainital. As the people in Nainital didn't know who Arnav was, he happily spent his days with Khushi and celebrated their Honeymoon freely. He smiled thinking about it.

"Why are you smiling? I will also smile if you tell me"

"I just thought about our district"

"Oh... have you started thinking about our district? Then we should end our Honeymoon soon..." She teased.

"No... I didn't think that way..."

"Then?"

"If it had been our district, people would have surrounded me with petitions" he chuckled and Khushi laughed.

"It's obvious. People will seek BOON if they see the GOD in front of them..."

Arnav looked at her shockingly.

"Oi... what's this? Do you compare me with God?"

"According to our district people, you are indeed our God"

"Oh, come on, Khushi..." he frowned.

"Accept it or not, Arnavji... no one will deny it in our district. You can try"

Arnav looked at her plainly.

"Yes... do you forget my first MAIL?"

Arnav smiled,

"How could I forget the ENERGY TONIC?" he smiled.

"I derived the exact condition of our district in the mail. You have no idea how backward our district was before your arrival. You can compare it with statistics reports. You may think I'm exaggerating but one day you will understand how true my words are..." She smiled.

Arnav became silent. He too knew he was getting celebrated by the people but not to the extent.

After coming from the honeymoon, they had a little tour of Delhi. This time, Khushi asked Arvind and Ratna to join them. They tried to avoid going with them but Khushi didn't agree to it. She forcefully took them with her. She knew they would also not get a chance to tour Delhi in the upcoming days as they were going to vacate Delhi forever. Arnav liked her idea and Khushi's concern for his parents. He might have expected Khushi to do that and she didn't disappoint him. That satisfied him.

Exploring new places would give us new experiences. That was what happened to them too. That created a tight attachment between Khushi and her in-laws. Khushi found how easygoing her in-laws were. They looked genuine and made her laugh like hell with their witty conversations. Khushi found one more thing too. Arnav looked happy with his parents. After all, it was his complete family.

They got back to Delhi after a week. Ratna and Arvind settled down with Arnav and Khushi. Khushi felt so content with their presence. She didn't have to be alone in the Camp Office. Arnav also worked without tension.

Garima started involving in social work wholly. She liked it very much. She understood how true Khushi's words were. She was delighted when the saplings, planted by her grew. She hopped in happiness that made her feel ten years younger.

Of course, happiness has the power to make us forget our age.

Slowly slowly, Ratna and Arvind also joined them. Revival Foundation welcomed them with wide open arms. People in the district started showing interest in social work, seeing the colleague's wife, parents, and mother-in-law involving social work.

People reached the Collector without effort. All the demands of the people were considered and fulfilled. Arnav emerged as the hero of the people. No problem arose in the district. The district became an ideal district in the state. Arnav received the Fast Developed District Award from the CM. He became popular and watched by the CM's cell.

After one and a half years

Arnav was transferred to the next district. That was the largest district in the state with three parliamentary constituencies. That was the effect of hard work. The CM's cell recommended Arnav for the district as they believed he could handle the biggest district. Arnav felt proud and honored.

He came to the camp office and searched for Khushi. She came out of the washroom, finishing a bath as she just returned from planting trees. He lifted her circling her thighs and rotated, delightedly.

"Ouch..." She shouted.

"I'm so happy..."

"Put me down..."

Arnav put her down and hugged her tight.

"Arnavji... what happened? You look happy like hell...!"

"I'm transferred to the largest district of our state"

"Really?"

"Yeah...CM's cell recommended"

"Wow... When should you report there?"

"In a week"

"Oh... Congratulations"

"Thank you so much" He pulled her towards him more and pecked her lips.

.........

The whole district was drowned in grief, knowing their dearest Collector's transfer matter. People started to meet him in droves. Colleges and Schools invited him to their institution to give a LAST motivational speech. Arnav could not avoid any of them as he was overwhelmed by their unconditional love. Students cried their hearts out, as they could not bear him going away from their district.

The students of the Government school which was opposite GH went a step further and sent him off by showering flowers on him.

Vivek rushed to him and hugged him crying.

"What are we going to do without you, sir?" He sniffed, making Arnav emotional.

"I told you, you can ask me anything. See, Khushi Didi's parents are here. They will do anything for you. Don't stop your inventions. You should be an example to your friends and should help them to improve their talent. Ok?" He chocked.

Vivek nodded wiping his eyes. The man who handled all the anti-socialists just like that was suffocated to handle the love people showered on him.

When he came to the Camp Office with a heavy heart, he saw Sulthan waiting for him with his family. Arnav smiled at him. In no time, Sulthan touched his feet, making him stunned.

"What are you doing?"

"Because of you, I'm leading a peaceful life, sir. I and my family will never forget you, sir"

"How is your shop running?" he diverted him.

"By YOUR grace, it's going well, sir"

Arnav looked at his daughter.

"Should study well. Education is very very important than anything. Understand?"

She nodded ok and said,

"Ratna ma has accepted my study expenses, sir"

"That's great..."

Arnav looked at Sulthan and said,

"You can call me if you need anything"

"I will definitely call you sir... who else do we have other than you?" He chocked.

Arnav gulped down hard.

That was when Ratna came out smiling at them. Arnav walked in sighing in relief as this kind of emotional scenario was too much for him.

Khushi saw him coming. He looked moody.

"What happened Arnavji?"

In no time, Arnav hugged her tight and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

"Thank you so much, Khushi... Thank you so much...! If you had not given me the right advice at the right time, I would not have understood the real VALUE of myself"

Khushi pulled herself from the hug and looked into his eyes.

"You know how these guys are celebrating me? They are treating me like a GOD"

Khushi smiled.

"How emotional... how lovable...! I didn't expect this kind of unconditional love from people ever. Do you know how disinterested I was when I took charge of this district? But today, these guys made my heart heavy with their love. What will I do for them?" he said emotionally.

"Arnavji, you have already done enough for them. That's why they love you so much. I wrote in my mail that none of the collectors realized their responsibility... but, you did. You did your best. You gave food to hunger... you changed their status. That's why they are grateful to you"

"Whatever... you are the one who seeded the motivation in my mind. Thank you so much"

"You no need to thank me because you are a man of my heart"

"Yet, I will thank you"

"You are welcome"

"No... it's not enough"

"Then?"

"Find out what are the major problems in the new district"

"Already done... the major problem of the district is, the highway is crossing the market area. It takes a minimum of one hour to cross the market area and more than two hours in the peak hour. A recommendation should be made to the highway department to construct a road outside the town and connect it with the highways. If the vehicles coming from the other district do not enter the town, huge traffic jam can be avoided"

"Done..." He kissed her hair lovingly.

Arnav took charge of the new district. Before he started the work, he read Khushi's Email once with a smile and continued his work that was never going to end.

Arnav became the HEADLINES in newspapers and social media.
