10 years Later

The house was decorated beautifully, a girl who was 16 years old was dressed in normal Kurti and jeans just like Ruhana was scolding the decorator

"dekho ache se karo warna papa se kahke tumhari payment nhi karungi" she said

Ruhana came there and said "Khushi"

Khushi turned to her and smiled "Haan maasi"

Ruhana asked her "Anvi ko dekha?"

Khushi replies "Haan Di room mei ready ho rahi hai"

Ruhana sighed in disappointment "abhi tak"

Khushi nods in yes.

Anvi's room

She was getting ready, she wore a jeans and crop top just like Manvi use to wear during her college time. She smiled looking in the mirror "now I am perfect"

Ruhana comes inside the room "Anvi itna time lagate hai college nhi jaana kya?"

Anvi smiles at her and says "mumma aap bhool gaye aaj no classes"

"acha to itna tayar hoke kaha ja rhi ho?" she asked

Anvi smiled and said "Aaj AM aur maasi ki wedding anniversary hai na to khushi ke saath shopping jaana hai"

Ruhana was confused and asked her "ek minute dono ki wedding anniversary par tum kyun shopping karogi?"

Khushi enters inside with "maasi mumma hai na school program ke liye delhi gayi hai aur papa as usual bangalore gaye hai conference ke liye to dono aaj aane wale hai aur hum unko surprise karenge"

Anvi says "Haan isliye shopping bhi karni zaroori hai"

They share a high-5

Ruhana sighed "thik hai karo jo karna hai main to chali office and be home before 4"

Anvi and Khushi nods, Anvi says "mumma I am 23 now, I can take care of khushi and myself don't worry"

Ruhana pats her head and leaves. One of the servant comes in with phone "baby, Mumbai se call hai"

Anvi smiles and takes the call "papa.. Kitne din baad call kiya aapne"

Vineet answers from other side "sorry beta.. Bahut uljha hua tha cases mei"

Anvi nods "acha aap mujhse milne kab aa rahe ho?" she asked

"aapke birthday par" he replied

Anvi gets sad and says "uske liye to abhi 6 months hai"

And they talk for sometime.

Khushi goes to her room and gets upset "papa kitne din ho gaye main aapko kitna miss kar rhi hoon" she complained while looking at the picture hanging on the wall of Aarav, Manvi and Khushi.

"main to 3 days papa ko itna miss kar rahi hoon aur Vi ke papa to itne door rehte hai"

Anvi calls her and she leaves with her to do shopping.

Later in night everyone gets ready for the surprise party along with guests.

Khushi comes and informs them "mom and Dad will be here in 5 minutes, Vi off the lights"

Anvi nods... She turns of the lights.

The car stops in front of the house.

Manvi sees the house "Aarav light gayi hai kya?" she asked

Aarav nods in no "nhi.. Shayad fuse hoga chalo andar"

They enter inside the house.. Manvi calls "Di.. Khushi.. Koi hai ghar mein?"

Suddenly lights gets on and flowers fall on top of them.

"happy wedding Anniversary" they could hear.

Aarav and Manvi gets surprised seeing this.

Khushi comes running and hugs both "many many happy returns of the day mumma and papa I missed you both so much"

Manvi smiled "I missed you too.." she said

Aarav asked "to ye sab aapka plan tha na?"

Anvi comes there "Haan AM ghar mei toofan machake rakha tha isne.. Sabko kaam pe lagaya" she complained

Khushi passes a cute smile to them and says "acha aap dono fatafat change karke aayie"

They nodded and went inside the room.

Manvi seemed to be tensed about something, Aarav said "tum bekar mei chinta kar rahi ho abhi iss baare mei kisise kuch nhi kehna"

Manvi nods with a smile on her face. They came down after sometime and cut the cake.

Ruhana says "Aarav kafi time ho gaya tumhara gaana sune to aaj kuch ho jaye"

Khushi gets excited "Haan papa.. sunao na"

Aarav starts singing,

Hey.. hey hey hey

Hum kya karein?

Hamein tumse hua hai pyar

Hum kya karein?

He walks around Manvi

Aap hi batayein hum kya karein?

Aap se bhi haseen hain aap ki yeh adaayein

Hum is adaa pe kyun na marein?

Ruhana ask Manvi to sing once but she refuses. Anvi and Khushi insists her also to which she agrees..

She joins...

Tumhein humse hua hai pyar

Hum kya karein?

Tumhein humse hua hai pyar

Hum kya karein?

Aap hi batayein hum kya karein?

Aarav continues..

Aap se bhi haseen hain aap ki yeh adaayein

Hum is adaa pe kyun na marein?

Aarav holds Manvi's hands

Bas hum tumhein dekha karein

Baithi raho aagosh mein

Manvi jerk his hand away and pushes him

Aisi bhi kya deewangi

Bilkul nahi ho tum hosh mein

Aarav keeps his hand on top of Anvi's shoulder and says..

Jaan-e-man jaan-e-jana chhodiye bhi sataana

Hum is chalan mein kab tak chalein

Manvi hides behind khushi...

Tumhein humse hua hai pyar

Hum kya karein?

Aap hi batayein hum kya karein?

Aarav continues...

Hamein tumse hua hai pyar

Hum kya karein?

Aap hi batayein hum kya karein?

Everyone clap...

Khushi says "mumma papa chalo ek family pic lete hai.. Vi maasi aao"

They sit together for a family photo. After the party was over... ArMan were sitting in their room.

Khushi and Anvi came in.. Khushi asked "papa aap kya laye khushi ke liye?"

Aarav looks at her and smiles "main soch hi raha tha meri princess aayi kyun nhi abhi tak"

He takes out a small box from his bag and hands to her. Anvi looks and asked "AM anvi ke liye?"

Aarav smiles "Haan ruko" he hands her a box too.

Both of them opens it and gets happy.. "wao new phone for khushi"

"wao AM this gown is amazing I love it" Anvi said joyfully.

Manvi smiled and said "ab jao dono bahut raat ho gayi hai"

They both leave from there..

Manvi looks at Aarav, Aarav noticed her "kya?"

Manvi nods "kuch nhi.. Dekh rahi hoon tum khushi ko kitna pyar karte ho har zid puri karte ho uski" she said

Aarav replied "ofcourse karunga ek hi to beti hai hamari"

Manvi held his hand "sorry"

Aarav gave a confused look "kis baat ke liye?" he asked.

Manvi shared "kabhi tumne bhi chaha hoga na tumhara apna ansh ho lekin main..."

Aarav gets angry at her and says "bas aage kuch mat kehna maana maine main khushi ka biological father nhi hoon par she is Khushi Mehra... Aur sach kahu to maine aisa nhi chaha kyuki khushi hi sabkuch hai mere liye"

Manvi smiles and side hugs him... "janti hoon lekin darti hoon khushi ko jis din ye baat pta chalegi tab kya hoga"

Aarav assures her "aisa kuch nhi hoga"

They close the light unaware of the face Khushi was hiding and heard their conversation... Tears slipped her eyes...

The words echoed in her ears..

"main khushi ka biological father nhi hoon"

"jis din khushi ko sach pta chalega tab kya hoga?"

Khushi slowly moved towards her room and murmurs "nhi papa khushi ke papa hi hai..."

She tries to sleep but the conversation did not let her.

The next morning, Khushi left for school and was disturbed.

After the school was over she was waiting for driver to come but then she saw a man standing and staring at her for a long time.

She went to him and asked him "aap kaun ho? 2 din se dekh rahi hoon aap mujhpe nazar rakhe hue ho?"

The man smiled looking at her and said "beta main tumhara papa hoon.."

Khushi gets shocked hearing this.. "kya? Nhi mere papa to"

The man smiled and said "beta wo tumhari maa ka pati hai.. Main hun tumhara father yakeen nhi aata to apna birth certificate aur maa papa ka marriage certificate dekh lo tumhe khudba khud sach pata chal jayega"

Khushi was left stunned, first the last night conversation between ArMan and now this man. The car came and she sat inside left to home.

The man smirked "main wapas aa gaya hoon..." and started to laugh evilly.. It was Viraj.

He moved towards an unknown place. On the wall picture of Manvi and Khushi were placed everywhere...

"tumne kya socha Viraj se itni aasani se peecha chuda logi.. Nhi ab main aaya hoon tumse tumhari beti leke jaunga.. Nhi meri beti"

He burned the picture of Aarav... "Aarav Mehra bahut shauk hai na tumhe.. Mere pyar pe nazar daala you will be finished..."

Khushi rushed to the study room after reaching home. She checked the files and documents. She found her birth certificate with date of birth "5 march 2002"

Then she searched for the marriage certificate of ArMan. She recalled once Aarav took them for registry purpose. She went to his desk and searched for it.

Finally she found the paper. She signed and hope what she is thinking is not true.

She opened the file and gets shocked when she sees the date. It was 17 August 2008 The papers fell from her hands.

"he is not my father" with tears in her eyes.

She recalls,

"mumma aapki aur papa ki shaadi mei khushi kaise hai?"Manvi does not know what to answer.

Ruhana tells her "khushi aapke mumma aur papa ne mandir mei shaadi ki thi tab main aur Anvi nhi they na isliye maine tumhari mumma aur papa ki shaadi karayi thi dubara sabke samne"

Manvi had a sigh of relief as khushi was convinced with the answer.

"Hehe Vi kitni cute lag rhi hai isme"

Khushi thinks "Haan maasi ne kaha tha.. Lekin mumma papa ki baatein aur wo aadmi kyun kahega he is my father"

To be continued.

Shocked? Hihi.. Stay tuned.
