She knew he would understand her if he truely loved her. She knew he would understand her. She knew it and hoped he would prove his love to her now and stand up for her or didn't she matter to him more than Dadi's accusing? Or was he too much into the pain of his lost Mother that he won't realize him losing Khushi?

"I can't marry you Khushi. Abort the child!"

Air stuck in her throat as he said that. She never felt so much left down and betrayed. Her heart was cut in thousand pieces and she felt suffocated as if that's her last day of living. And she wanted to die now, rather than having to kill her child or giving birth to it who won't get the love of its father or even to be with him. If it was someone else, she wouldn't have cared but he himself has denied to marry her now. He, whom she loved the most stabbed into her back. She closed her eyes and wanted Devi Maiyya to call her up. She didn't want to live anymore.

But not just Khushi felt left down, the Raizadas were not less surprised to hear that from Arnav as just until an hour ago they had witnessed his love and care for Khushi and now he's denying to marry her. Although Anjali too had lost her parents and is disturbed to know the truth but she didn't want her brother to take this decision. She didn't want him to leave Khushiji, she knows they both are made for each other.

Khushi kept her hand protectively on her yet flat belly and struggled to keep her eyes open but slowly her sight was going blank and she felt dizzy. She couldn't hold herself together anymore and collapsed but to everyone's surprise she was held by two strong arms.

"Khushi!"

She opened her eyes a bit to see him holding her and for a moment she felt happy but the next moment she felt disguised. First he denied to marry her, asked to abort their child and now he is holding her. She made him leave her and stood on her own though still not feeling very well.

Dadi was the only one contented person in the hall. She got what she wanted. Arnav denied to marry her and even told to abort their child. She did hesitate, Arnav may not give an ear to her talk but her timing helped her succeed.

"Khushi, I can't marry you. You abort the child."

Khushi looked at him now with such disguise. She wanted to slap him. Hadn't he said it very clearly for all to understand very well the first time that he had to repeat it again? Or does he want to make sure she breaks down completely?

"That's what you expected me to say na, Dadi?"

Dadi looked at him distressed as he said that. But she wasn't the only one in the hall to be left shocked. Khushi's face now slowly started to light up. So that means he didn't mean what he said. That was only for Dadi. She now smiled in tears looking at him. He turned to her and cupped her face.

"You thought I would leave you? Don't you know how much I love you?"

Her crying yet puppy face made him smile even in that situation and she hugged him now not able to control her tears. She was at the verge of suffocating if he wouldn't have clarified it. She couldn't bear even the thought of him leaving her.

All smiled now as they watched this couple embrace each other as if these are the last moment of their life and yet they are to spend a lifetime together in each others arms yet.

"Don't ever do that again or I'll kill you."

They withdrew the hug slowly and the first thing she does is warn him and show her big eyes for he scared her so much.

"Am sorry."

He apologized smiling as he knew what she must have gone through in that one minute. He saw that as she fainted but he never wanted to hurt her. He can never think of leaving her or aborting their child. It was not easy for him to even say those words.

"Arnav!"

Everyone's attention was caught by Dadi now who wasn't to give up easily. She hated Khushi from the core of her heart (if she had one) and at any cost, she wasn't to let Arnav marry this girl.

"Despite knowing that Garima is the reason of your parent's death, you want to marry this girl?"

"Garima aunty was not the reason of my mother's death, your son was! He cheated on two women and instead of facing the situation, he chose to end up his life."

He couldn't be brainwashed by Dadi. Her talk and blames couldn't change the truth. Dadi was blinded by anger and feelings of revenge but she couldn't change him for the bad. He'd spent more time with his mother and she'd always taught him to follow the good only.

"Your mother was weak too, she committed suicide without even thinking about her children."

"My mother couldn't bear being betrayed by your son as she had loved him the most. And I won't follow in his footsteps and prove that am that man's son by doing the same to Khushi what he did to Mom. I won't leave Khushi."

He couldn't deny that his mother did go weak the moment she learnt about her husband's betrayal and he wished she wouldn't have ended her life but he knew how soft-hearted his mother was and being betrayed by the man with whom you spent so many years is not so easy to digest.

"You will regret it Arnav. You will regret marrying her and then it will be too late."

"Great."

There was only a sarcastic reply from him to her very serious but according to him nonsense statement.

Dadi flared her nose. She was just angry that he chose to marry Khushi even after her efforts of trying to change his mind. She turned but Khushi saw him who didn't take any step to stop her, so she did as she respected elders and wanted Dadi to bless them.

"Dadiji, don't go. Whatever happened in past, please forget everything and stay with us, with your family."

But Dadi made Khushi leave her not showing any warm feeling instead still glared her.

"Khushi, let her go."

Khushi looked at Arnav as he stated that with a tone that sounded more of an order. Dadi wanted to go and Arnav didn't want her to stay, so Khushi helplessly had to watch the eldest of the house leave.

And with that, the crying session had an end and finally the to-be-newly wed couple could move to the mandap and pandit started chanting the mantras and Arnav successfully married Khushi with all the rituals and traditions making her the happiest person in the world in that very moment.

Blessings and apologies followed but everything went well and everyone was happy about their pregnancy and congratulated them. Nani had wanted nothing more. Just few months ago she had expressed her wish to see her great grandchildren and Khushi was going to fulfil that.

Time passed and Anjali's sorrow over Shyam made Arnav track down the goon who had kidnapped him and he let him tell Anjali about Shyam's truth. Anjali later gave birth to a baby girl who became her world.

Khushi was always pampered and taken care of by family and Arnav. There were times her hormones would make her crazy and crave for the weirdest things possible but Arnav was always there for her. Even though Khushi tended to fight over anything, he had been patient every time but today he did the mistake of making a comment.

"I doubt if it's really your hormones or you are just using the opportunity to annoy me."

He chuckled sitting on recliner typing on his laptop while Khushi looked at him now with her eyes filling up.

"You think am acting and I want to annoy you? Fine. I just won't talk to you."

Arnav had a look at her and seeing her cry, he got up and went to her.

"Khushi, I didn't mean it. I was just joking."

He sat beside her and tried to pacify her while she just pushed him sobbing, nodding in denial.

"No, you go. Leave me alone, I'm only acting na. Just go. You don't have to be here if you think I only annoy you. Go."

"Khushi, don't overreact now. I didn't mean it."

He tried to cup her face but she pushed his hands and got up from bed holding her grown tummy.

"I know what you meant. I'm only a headache for you now. You're bearing me for your baby only.. If I wasn't pregnant, maybe you would have left me already."

"What? Khushi, where are you taking the matter?"

He followed her to poolside and made her see him. He will for sure go mad if she continues like this.

"I know am not that beautiful as your models and now even so fat, annoying only.. Go, leave me, it's ok."

She wiped her cheeks but her tears were flowing non-stop. He sighed nodding in denial.

"Who told you,you aren't as beautiful as my models? You're even more beautiful and this is not fat, this is my baby!"

She looked at him now with a puppy face and smiled a bit.

"Sach?"

He nodded and kissed her forehead after wiping her tears off her cheeks. She smiled wide now and hugged him. He reciprocated happily.

Such scenes followed until Khushi went into labour and delivered their baby girl. Arnav was too happy and expressed that by turning their room into a baby toys shop and the whole RM full with toys for both the Raizada girls. He loved Anjali's daughter as much as his own and the Raizada Mansion was filled with laughter and giggles of two angels.

Arnav and Khushi continued their journey of love with sometimes sweet and sometimes serious fights but in all that they never forgot to express their love for each other and always stay together in all good and bad times...
