************************************

"Your buaji's PG Shyam Manohar Jha is my jijaji. My dii's husband." Arnav dropped a bomb, which froze Khushi in his arms.

She stayed speechless, unmoved for a few seconds & then slowly looked up at his face if he was joking. But the seriousness in his eyes depicted that he wasn't.

"Shyamji.. Your jijaji?? Your.. Your dii's husband??" She asked again. Her voice just a bit louder than a whisper.

"Yes Khushi. You heard me right. He is my dii's husband since 4 years." He confirmed her doubts if she still had any.

To say Khushi was shocked would be an understatement. She was stunned. Flabbergasted. Her senses had as if shut down completely. She was staring at Arnav's face unblinkingly.

"It's high time you know the real face of Shyam Manohar Jha... Khushi." Arnav said clenching his jaws.

She moved back from his embrace & looked at his serious face with bated breath.

"What are you saying Arnavji??" She asked shocked still.

"The truth Khushi." He replied.

She swallowed. Fearful of his further reactions.

"Arnavji.. Believe me. Neither my family nor I was aware of this fact that he is already married, has a family & is lying to us all along." She rushed to explain him, not wanting him to misunderstand her.

"Shhhh..." He hushed her, shaking his head. "You don't need to justify or explain me anything Khushi." He said holding her hands gently in his. "I trust you completely." He said caressing her inner wrists with his thumbs.

Relief rushed through her veins as never before.

Arnav continued. "Khushi... Shyam Manohar Jha is my dii's husband. They are happily married for four years, at least we thought so till now. After his marriage with dii, he is living with my family, in my house, on my insistence, as I didn't want my dii to go away from me. We got to know that he was an orphan so he would definitely accept my proposal as he would also get a family that way & he accepted as expected. But the truth was something else which I got to know just a few days back. I thought he was happy to get a family but in reality he was happy to get a 'rich family'. He wanted to enjoy the status of being a Raizada's son in law. Moreover enjoy the facilities & perks he got staying in our mansion." Arnav said gritting his teeth, angry with himself for not seeing his scoundrel jijaji's true face earlier.

He then explained Khushi how Shyam met his dii, how he trapped her & his family including him in his sugar coated words & got a strong foothold in his family without giving an iota of doubt about his real face & intentions.

Khushi listened attentively to everything he said but couldn't decipher the reason behind Shyam's betrayal, to both their families.

"Why??" She whispered. "If he got everything according to his greed then why did he betray both our families & most importantly your dii, his wife??" Khushi asked her confusion looking at him.

Arnav sighed. "For you." He replied.

"Me??" She asked now more confused than before.

He nodded. "He is lusting after you Khushi." He gritted out. .

Khushi gasped cupping her mouth.

"No Arnavji." She shook her head negating him. "This can't be true. He has such a beautiful & loving wife. Then why would he think of some other woman, let alone me??" She asked incredulously. "I guess there's some sort of misunderstanding here Arnavji." She said hopefully.

"You are right Khushi. My dii loves him but he doesn't." He said. "Though my dii is beautiful but she has a limp."

"So what?? That doesn't make her any less beautiful." Khushi countered.

"But Shyam doesn't think that way. Even if my dii would have been physically fit, he still would have betrayed her as he isn't a one woman man Khushi." Arnav said. "He is a womanizer. A philanderer. A fake degree lawyer. A gambler. A human trafficker. In short he is completely opposite of what he has been portraying himself in front of all of us since years. He is everything that no woman would want her husband to be or a family would want their son in law to be. He has been living a sinful life outside our house & we didn't have an iota of doubt. He was fooling all of us & we easily got fooled by him." Arnav clenched his fists tight angrily. "Can you believe Khushi, I.. Arnav Singh Raizada.." He thumped his palm on his chest furiously. "Who claims himself to be a big ruler got fooled by a bastard, who is practically a nobody in front of me??" He spatted with angry, red eyes. "He is playing with my dii's & my family's love & emotions since years & I didn't have an inkling of it." Arnav stood up from the bed infuriated. "I respected him, looked up to him as an elder brother & that scoundrel was betraying all of us right under my nose, in my own house." He punched the wall repeatedly, bruising his knuckles.

"Arnavji.." Khushi immediately stood up & ran towards him, holding his bruised fist. She caressed the bruises & her tear drops washed away the blood drops formed there.

She was feeling guilty that somewhere she is responsible for her Arnavji's grief. She kissed his bruised knuckles. "I'm sorry Arnavji. Because of me that Shyam.." But Arnav didn't let her complete. He clasped her mouth with his other hand as he knew what was going on in her mind & what she was about to say.

"Don't.." He shook his head, glaring at her. "Don't you dare blame yourself Khushi for that slimeball's sins." He pulled her to him, gripping her neck gently. "You are not responsible in any way in this matter. In fact, only because of you I could know his real face, otherwise don't know till when I would have stayed in the dark." He caressed her jawline. "The private investigator I had hired to get your details got me all the information about Shyam staying in your house as PG & all the details. So yes you are responsible, but for helping me in knowing Shyam's real face & not the rubbish your pretty little brain is supplying sweetheart. He & only he is the culprit here. But I do feel myself responsible for not doing a proper background check on him before marrying my dii to him. I was happy as my dii was happy to get Shyam in her life." He shut his eyes tight & breathed hard as if remembering something painful.

He slowly opened his eyes. "Khushi.. My dii has once sacrificed her love for me so I didn't want her happiness to get snatched again. So I believed in her love & trust on Shyam." Arnav said swallowing the lump.

"Sacrificed her love?? How??" Khushi inquired .

Arnav nodded. "The day our parents committed suicide it was my dii's wedding day. The groom's family called off the wedding but the groom loved my dii so he was ready to accept my dii but on one condition."

Khushi scrunched her eyebrows in question.

"He asked my dii to leave me before marrying him." Khushi gasped. "He didn't want an unwanted baggage so he asked my dii to choose between him & me. My dii sacrificed her love & chose me. Since then I was guilt ridden. So when she told me about her love for Shyam & her wish to marry him, I immediately accepted as I didn't want her to lose her love again because of me. I trusted dii's instincts so I just did a superficial interrogation with Shyam himself & getting carried away with his sugary speech & fake innocence, I accepted him as my jijaji. Such a big fool I'm.. Such a big fool." He slapped himself angrily.

Khushi stopped him holding his hand. "No Arnavji.. This isn't the time to lament or regret on your decisions but it's time for action. It's time to show that snake, what happens when you cheat & betray Arnav Singh Raizada." Khushi said strongly.

"But Arnavji.. Will your dii believe you against her husband??" Khushi raised her doubt. "Afterall she loves him & is happy with him."

Arnav understood her concern. "Khushi.. I trust my dii to trust me without any second thought." He affirmed. "We have been through worse Khushi & came out of it with one other's support. She will believe me. I know.. She will." He stated confidently.

Khushi smiled nodding her head.

"Now I understand why Shyam was behaving so over friendly with my family & why he was all the time roaming behind me in the house with one or the other excuse. Thank God that you got to know about his real face & cruel intentions otherwise don't know how far he might have gone in his wicked plans. I feel like strangling him with my bare hands." she curled her tiny fists, ready to strangle Shyam.

"But then Arnavji.. You should have revealed his true face the moment you came to know. Instead of getting me here, you should have tackled him first." Khushi suggested annoyingly, folding her arms.

He pulled her through her waist. "I had a more important matter to tackle Khushi." He husked. "Shyam won't go anywhere leaving all the wealth & luxury as he still doesn't know that I know about him. Your health was my primary concern then. Your surgery & you getting well was the most important thing for me to do at that time & I did so. Your health was way more important to me then dealing with that scumbag Khushi." He brushed his lips to her forehead. Khushi inhaled his scent. "Don't worry about him. He will be taken care of, once we get back to India. Right now all that matters to me is you & nothing else, nobody else." He murmured enveloping her in his protective arms.

"& you don't have to worry about dii. I have kept her busy in some official work. He isn't able to come near my dii much as he himself is busy in impressing your buaji to fulfill his selfish motives. You don't take any tension baby. Just enjoy our time together here." He assured her dropping kisses in her hair.

Khushi's eyes got moist seeing the intensity of his love for her. She slowly pulled back & looked in his brown orbs which were full of love & passion for her. She pressed her lips on his catching him off-guard.

The kiss got intense instantly with both of them participating with equal passion.

"Arnavji.. Make love to me." She demanded unabashedly against his lips.

He withdrew his lips hearing her. "No Khushi.. You must be sore from last night. I don't want to hurt you more." He said concerned.

In reply she again captured his lips in a more intense kiss. She bit his lips making him hiss.

"You talk too much Arnavji. Your 'sunshine' is absolutely fine & ever ready to be loved by her 'moonlight'." She said making him chuckle. "Now without wasting any more time, let's get started." She said unbuttoning his shirt quickly.

"Your wish is my command sweetheart." He carried her in his arms towards their bed & both got lost in their world of passion.

They stayed in OHIO for another month till her regular check up continued. They had the best time of their life during that period. Arnav took her to all the beautiful places there. They clicked many pictures in different romantic poses. They shopped crazily. They ate in almost all the restaurants like foodies. Khushi wore western outfits as per her Arnavji's likes & Arnav did all the crazy antics as per his Khushi's likes. They played indoor games in their house with Arnav winning most of the time & Khushi bearing the punishment of performing on many more hot numbers. But Khushi loved to do anything for her Arnavji. On Arnav's insistence she started calling him Arnav without 'ji' as well. If days were fun & joyous then nights were love & passion filled. Both were a perfect couple, crazily & irrevocably in love.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It was the last day of her check up. The doctor declared her completely fit & fine. She just needs to follow her dietary & medical instructions for a few months & come for a check up after six months. After meeting the doctor, Arnav led her to the room where she was shifted & had stayed after her operation. The moment he opened the door, her eyes widened & mouth agape. The whole room was decorated with colourful fairy lights. There were numerous red, heart shaped balloons on the floor. The pics they had clicked together in past month were pasted on the walls & there was a flowery pathway made from the door to the centre of the room, where a centre table was kept with a big bouquet of red roses, a plateful of jalebis & a small velvet box on it.

Khushi was just staring at everything joyfully, excitedly. Holding her through her waist, Arnav ushered her in the room, towards the centre table through the flowery pathway. Khushi was all smiles looking at the beautiful decoration which had turned a hospital ward into a beautiful room. Her Arnav is a magician.

She was lost in praising her Arnav when the man himself held her hand gently going down on his knees with the ring from the velvet box in his hand.

Khushi covered her mouth stopping herself from screaming out loud as she understood what was about to come for her from her man.

"Khushi.. This is the same place where I got my 'sunshine'." He started. "The girl who irritated me, annoyed me, angered me for no reason but at the same time managed to bring out those emotions from me which I didn't even know existed in me. Hell.. she introduced me to myself all over again. She taught me to love & live. Who entered my dark life & illuminated it with her sunny smile & became my 'sunshine'."

Happy tears were flowing from Khushi's hazel eyes. "Arnav.." She could hardly manage to utter with her overwhelmed voice.

"My heart comes alive, everytime you take my name baby." He kissed her hand. "Khushi.. I'm incomplete without you. Will you complete me by marrying me?? Will you accept to illuminate my life with your illuminous smile forever?? Will you become the 'sunshine' of this 'moonlight' forever??" Arnav laid his heart out, proposing her with all the love he has for her.

Khushi was awestruck. Speechless. Pleasantly shocked. She was just looking into his love filled orbs with her tender eyes.

"Baby.. You can ogle me later. Right now my knee is hurting. The ring is desperate to get on to its owner's finger. These flowers would start withering & your favourite jalebis too would become soggy if you don't reply to my proposal & relieve us all soon." He said making a cute puppy face which made her laugh loudly.

She too dropped herself on her knees & embraced him tight. "Yes my 'moonlight'. I agree to become your 'sunshine' forever. We both together will illuminate each others' life." She replies kissing his neck. He hugged her tightly to himself, happy beyond limits.

Both stood up from the ground still tangled in each other's arms. Arnav moved back a bit & gently donned the ring on her ring finger. He kissed the ring & her finger lovingly. She was admiring the beautiful ring which was in star shape with colourful diamonds studded in it. She knows why he chose this design as she loves stars because she believes that her parents have become stars as well & he wants her to feel them with her always, alongwith his love. The colourful diamonds depict her own colourful personality. How thoughtful her Arnav is always towards her feelings. She too kissed the ring.

He then handed her the bouquet. She smelled the roses & kissed his cheeks, thanking him.

He picked one jalebi from the plate & held near her mouth. "Meetha to banta hai." He said smiling.

She bit a piece from the jalebi & tried to take the leftover piece from his hand to feed him a bit. But he refused shaking his head & kept it back in the plate.

Khushi frowned. He grabbed her waist & slammed his lips on hers. Khushi wrapped her arms around his neck understanding his intention & gave way to his lips & tongue into her sugary mouth. He tasted the jalebi from her mouth along with her natural sweetness. Both kissed each other leisurely.

"Thank you so much Arnav for all the pleasant surprises." She said lifting her head, caressing his cheeks.

"Thank you Khushi for coming in my life & completing it." He replied, pecking her lips again.

"Feelings are mutual love." She replied back capturing his lips again for a heated kiss.

Arnav pulled back slowly. "Baby.. Tomorrow we are returning to India. Let's make our last day here more memorable by creating more passionate memories." He winked naughtily. She bit her lip.

"Khushi.. Before I take you right here right now, let's go home. I want you so badly." He said joining their bodies, giving her the proof of his desire.

"Feelings are again mutual love." She winked back & holding his hand, started pulling him towards the door.

Next day they landed in India & straight away headed to Arnav's house RM. He had already informed his family about his arrival & had asked all of them to be present when he arrives.

Everybody sans Shyam were waiting for Arnav in the living room. Shyam had again stated his work excuse & was waiting to welcome Khushi in GH unknown to the reception he himself would soon receive from his wife & inlaws.

As soon as Arnav entered the house with Khushi, he informed his family about his & Khushi's relationship & his wish to marry her. His family was happy beyond words. Nani & Anjali already liked Khushi so they immediately accepted his decision.

Arnav & Khushi took blessings of all the elders. Then came the time of the biggest revelation.

True to Arnav's words, Anjali believed him without a second thought or without demanding any proofs. She did breakdown but didn't defend her husband even once. That strong was her faith in her brother. Though her mami objected but Anjali shut her by stating just one line that her Chhotey can give his life for her but can never ruin her life without any concrete proof. She trusts her brother above all, even above her husband of four years. She took everything strongly, bravely.

Khushi was amazed to see the faith & trust both the siblings shared. She thanked Devi Maiyya for making her a part of such wonderful people's life.

In GH Shyam was over excited to meet Khushi after months. He was doing extra preparations to welcome her. He had got jalebis & gol gappes for her. He had got her favourite flowers along with a cheap ring to propose to her today itself & to never let her go away from him again.

Buaji was full of doubts seeing his over excitement & the gifts he got for Khushi. Upon asking he shamelessly professed his love for Khushi & his will to marry her without any dowry. Buaji immediately accepted as she would get rid of the baggage of a niece without wasting a penny. Also she would get one more earner in the form of Shyam for her family as he would stay with them only after marriage. Buaji was busy making plans to get more money when the front door opened & Khushi barged in with Arnav & his whole family along with Anjali. They had heard the whole conversation between Shyam & buaji.

Shyam started perspiring the moment he saw his wife & in-laws. He was trembling in his shoes seeing the fury in his wife's & his saale sahab Arnav's red, angry eyes.

"Rani saheba.. Saale sahab... You all.. " He tried to fake innocence but was rewarded with a strong slap on his cheek from his wife & a hard punch on his face from his Saale sahab, landing him on the floor.

Payal came out running from her room hearing all the commotion. Buaji screamed unknown to the reason behind the sudden assault on her oh-so-innocent Shyam babua. She helped him to get up from the floor.

Shyam again tried to speak but again got slapped on his other cheek but this time from Khushi.

Shyam stood holding his both stinging cheeks, looking horrified at all the Raizadas & Khushi as he understood that his dirty secret is out in the open.

"Have you gone mad Sankadevi. How dare you slap Shyam babua??" Buaji asked furiously to Khushi.

"Not me but you have gone mad buaji. How dare you fix my marriage with this slimeball, cheater, bigamist, fraudster of your Shyam babua??" Khushi roared.

Buaji was taken aback with her sweet & obedient niece's high pitched voice. But more than that she was shocked hearing such names for her innocent Shyam babua from her. What went suddenly wrong & why this Raizadas were also here hitting Shyam?? Buaji was trying to assimilate the situation on her own.

"Khushi.. What happened?? Why are you calling Shyamji such names??" Payal volunteered to ask on buaji's behalf as she too wanted to know everything.

Khushi then revealed Shyam's real identity & his cruel intentions behind staying as a PG in their house.

Payal & buaji were shocked beyond imagination. Buaji sat on a nearby chair with a thud, holding her head.

Payal immediately hugged her sister thanking devi maiyya heartily for saving her sister from such cheapster.

Shyam tried to escape through the nearby window but Arnav caught him. Then he & Akash together beat Shyam to black & blue. Arnav's nani & mami also hit him with their footwears, ultimately making him unconscious. The police arrived to arrest him as Arnav had already given them all the proofs regarding Shyam & all his illegal activities. Police dragged an unconscious Shyam out of the house.

"Thank you Arnavji for saving my Khushi from that scoundrel's clutches." Payal thanked Arnav joining her hands.

"Whatever I did was for my family." He circled his one arm around his dii's shoulder "& for my love whom I'm going to marry soon." He added wrapping his other arm around Khushi's shoulders.

Buaji's eyes rounded hearing him calling Khushi as his love. She immediately stood up from the chair.

"What are you saying NandKishore??" Buaji asked trying to pull Khushi away from his arms. She wasn't happy for Khushi to get such a rich boy. Afterall she isn't her real niece but an adopted one then how can she get good boy then her own niece Payal, who is yet to get married.

But Khushi herself jerked buaji's hand & shifted closer to her Arnav.

Buaji glared at her but she remained unaffected.

Payal was happy for her sister unknown to a pair of bespectacled eyes which were admiring her.

"I don't accept this alliance. My niece won't marry you." Buaji objected adamantly.

"Who is asking your permission Madhumati Mishra?? Your wish doesn't hold any importance here. Remember you yourself broke all your ties with Khushi before she came with me on the business tour??" Arnav asked arching his eyebrows.

Buaji glared at Khushi for disclosing their family matters. Khushi glared back at buaji.

"I'm taking my Khushi with me & soon we are going to marry whether you like it or not." Arnav stated sternly.

Buaji felt humiliated.

"Ok Ok.. Take her.. As it is, she is nothing but a burden on our family." Buaji said scornfully.

Arnav came & stood in front of buaji. His eyes spitting fire at the heartless, stubborn woman.

"Not my Khushi but a heartless & selfish woman like you is a burden on the face of this earth. You are such an unfortunate woman Madhumati Mishra that you couldn't understand the worth of such a gem of a girl you had in your family." He said pointing towards Khushi. "The girl who was ready to sell her own self, who was ready to even die to secure her family's future." He screamed on buaji's face.

Everybody present there except Khushi, looked at him & then at Khushi, shocked.

Arnav then disclosed about Khushi's disease & all the other details sans their intimate moments.

Everybody was stupefied. Buaji looked at Khushi guiltily. But it was too late now.

Payal hugged her sister, crying all over her, chiding her for hiding such a big thing from her jiji.

Khushi apologized holding her ears. Both the sisters hugged again, smiling through their tears.

"Khushi.. Let's go to our home." Arnav said forwarding his hand.

"Go Khushi.. Always stay happy with your love." Payal wished her little sister, placing her hand on Arnav's.

Khushi smiled at her sister & hugging her one last time, she left her foster house with her love & new family.

Arnav & Khushi both were lying in the bed under the sheet, exhausted after many passionate rounds of love making. Their naked warm bodies tangled into one. It was their wedding night.

"Everything feels like a dream Arnav." Khushi said caressing his bare chest. "So much has happened in the past few months. Our lives took a complete U turn. We both were not ready to even see each other's face but miraculously we fell in love, fought against all odds, finally got married & are here celebrating our wedding night." She roamed her eyes towards their decorated room & decorated bed. "Also our loved ones are happy as my jiji & ur brother are seeing each other. Dii is happy getting rid of that snake & is taking more interest in our business as per her likes. Nani, mami, mamaji all are so happy. Everything is just happening for good." She said looking at him lovingly.

"Yes sweetheart. But what is more unbelievable in all these is Arnav Singh Raizada - the non believer of love & marriage falling in love & marrying as well." Arnav said chuckling. Khushi too joined.

"All the credit goes to my Khushi for coming in my life & changing me into a better person." Arnav kissed her forehead.

Khushi smiled & pecked his chin. "Feelings are mutual love." She repeated her signature line

"So.. Mrs. Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada, where would you like to go for our honeymoon??" Arnav asked playing with her hair. "By the way, I have one place in my mind." He mumbled.

"I know which place." Khushi said shifting on top of him.

Arnav adjusted her properly, grabbing her tightly to himself.

"& that is??" He asked raising his brows.

"The same place where "Sunshine" & "Moonlight" found each other." Khushi replied with twinkling eyes, kissing on his warm chest. "Even I had the same place in my mind for our honeymoon." She said smiling broadly.

Arnav immediately pulled her up to his face & arrested her thoroughly kissed lips, for one more deep, intense kiss.

"So as always, again our thoughts & feelings are mutual Mrs. Raizada??" He teased her licking her swollen lips.

"Yes Mr. Raizada." She bit on his lower lip.

"Then OHIO it is." He promised hitting his forehead to hers lightly. Khushi smiled brightly.

"Arnav.. We will stay in the same home. We will go to meet my doctor & all the nurses. We will visit all the places we visited last time. We will eat in all those restaurants again. We will..." She was blabbering but Arnav stopped her blabber capturing her lips in his again & released them after kissing for good minutes.

"We will do everything you want baby. But for now this "Moonlight" of yours wants to make more love to his "Sunshine". He demanded switching their positions as before swiftly.

"Then who is stopping you my "moonlight". It's you only, wasting our time in worthless talks instead of action." She teased him twitching her mouth.

He glared at her for putting all the blame on him for her own blabbers.

"You are going to pay for this wifey." He pinched on her waist. She hissed.

"I'm ever ready hubby dearest." She replied pulling his face & consumed his warm lips between her swollen petals.

The 'Sunshine' & 'Moonlight' indulged themselves in their illuminous world of love & passion.

HAPPY ENDING.
