It is beaming with the laughter of the people. All are in the hall happy. Anjali’s marriage is fixed with Karan Khanna, one of the well known business man in Delhi. They saw Anjali during one of the business parties and liked her. So, they brought proposal to them. Raizadas din’t finds any objection. Anjali and Karan dated for six months. Finally they thought to marry and gave a green signal to marriage. So, now the date for marriage and engagement is fixed. Marriage is after one month and ten days before marriage is going to be engagement.

“ Wow Di. I still can’t believe you are going to get married” said Lavanya hugging Anjali tightly.

“ One or other day every girl has to marry Lavanya. The next number is yours” said Nani.

“ Why are you talking about my marriage Nani ??”asked Lavanya pouting.

“ There are lots of works to do. We have to start from now” said Ratna.

“ Maa. Don’t worry. We are all there naa. We will take care of everything” said Akash.

“ Haan Badimaa. Hum log to ab bude hogayi naa” said NK.

“ Its bade not bude. Bude means old” corrected Ratna.

“ haan  wahi  wahi.” Said NK” Don’t worry. I will take care of everything. You all just sit and watch”

“ There is nothing to see if you take everything on your shoulders Bhai. All the workers will run away hearing your hindi” said  Lavanya and NK pouted hearing it.

Avinash observed Anjali sitting silently. She is lost in some thoughts.

“ Why is my princess looking sad ??”asked Avinash.

Everyone turned their heads to Anjali  and observed she din’t engage in their conversation.

“ What happened Anju ?? Any problem “asked Ratna.

“ Nothing mamma. I am fine” said Anjali.

“ No. you are not. I know it very well. Why are you dull ??”asked Ratna.

“ Nothing mamma. I have a wish. will you and papa  fulfil it  ?? Think it as my marriage gift” said Anjali.

“ Princess asking and father denying. Will it ever happen ??”said Ratna.

“ You are  jealous of my daughter. Won’t you ??”asked Avinash. 

“ What the…” said Ratna and rolled off her eyes.

 Avinash smiling turned to Anjali “ What is it beta ?? Whatever it is I will fulfil it beta ??”

Anjali looked at her mother. 

“ Anju. Do you think we will deny your wish?? That too when you are going to marry” said  Ratna.

“ Promise me both you won’t deny me” said Anjali. Avinash and Ratna looked at each other.

“ Ok. We promise. We won’t deny you” said Avinash.

Anjali taking  a  breathe said” I want all my three brothers in my marriage”

It took them sometime to analyze her words meaning.

The first one is Ratna to come out of it” Anjali. What type of wish is it??”

Anjali knew her mother is angry. She addresses her as Anjali only when she is angry otherwise she calls her as Anju.

“ You promised  me mamma” said Anjali.

“ But beta we don’t know where he is ??”said Nani.

“ I know Nani. We know where Bhai is” said Anjali. The elders looked at her surprised. 

“ So you guys are in touch with him” asked Ratna looking at four children.

“Exclude me. I don’t know anything about it” said Akash.

“ How did you know about him ??”asked Avinash.

“ Six months before NK Bhai met him when he went to Newyork. “ said Anjali.

All looked at NK who lowered his head, then said” I went to meet my friend there. So, I saw Bhai there. He has a son and he is damn cute”

“ Now say mamma and papa. Will you deny me after promising me ?”asked Anjali.

Avinash looked at his mother in law and brother who nodded as yes. He looked at Ratna who have an annoyed look.

“ Fine. You can call him if you want.” Said Avinash. Anjali, Lavanya and Nk squealed hearing it. Ratna looked at her husband angrily. 

“ Do whatever you want.. But don’t expect me to forget everything and talk with him and his wife” said Ratna and left from there angrily.

Avinash too left from there. Soon everyone went and only four are present.

“ Wow Di. Plan is success” said  Lavanya elated

Akash looked at them angrily.

“ You all hid such a big fact from me” asked Akash angrily.

“ Sorry Bhai. We were afraid to say you” said NK.

Akash threw an angry glare to them and left from there.

In Newyork:

Arnav got up from his sleep and looked at his son who is cuddling him. He patted him  again to sleep and  got down from bed. He lives in a small house where only a kitchen, one bed room is present. 

The maid  will come and do’s the cleaning of the house for thrice in a week. Arnav after taking his bath, cooked the breakfast and he made baby food for Aryan. When he came to the bed, Aryan is sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes.

“Good morning  my boy” said Arnav and lifted him up.

“ Goo moning paa” said Aryan in his language. 

“ Come. Time for bath. Papa have to go for office” said Arnav and took him to give bath.

At the breakfast table, he fed Aryan his food in between taking his breakfast. After the breakfast is over, he arranged Aryan’s things and took his laptop bag. He came to the parking, took his bike and drove off. He stopped the bike after two streets before a big mansion written as Khurana’s mansion.

Aryan squealed out as soon as they got there. Arnav smiled seeing his excitement. Arnav entered the house and found Arjun sitting on the sofa waiting for him. 

“ Arnav. you came. “ came Arjun’s mother, sharada.

“ Ji aunty. “ said Arnav.

“ How is my cutie  pie ?? I missed him soo much” said Sharada taking Aryan who happily went to her.

“ Maa. It is only yesterday you din’t saw him. You are saying you miss him” said Arjun.

“ Even if I din’t see him for a day, I will feel hollow” said Sharada.

Arjun patting Aryan’s head” Seriously kiddo, I feel jealous of you. My mom loves you more than me” 

“ Shut up. You are getting jealous of a child. Have some shame” scolded Sharada.

“ Ok aunty. We will leave now. It’s time” said Arnav.

“ Ok take care you both. I will send lunch for you both” said  Sharada. 

Arnav kissed Aryan’s cheek and bid a good bye to him.

“ Bye Kiddo” said Arjun to Aryan.

“ Bye Aluun( Arjun) uncle” said Aryan.

“ It’s Arjun baby not Aluun” said Arjun.

“ Aluun” said Aryan again and pouted. 

“ Fine. This is our routine. I will wait for the day you will pronounce my name as Arjun” said Arjun.

Arnav leave  Aryan  at  Arjun’s house. Arjun’s mother will take care of him as she will be alone. She loves Aryan soo much and treats Arnav as her son. So, when Arnav thought  to  leave Aryan in day care centre, she denied and insisted to leave with her.. Aryan  too is soo close with her..

Both of them came out of the mansion. Arjun went to his car while Arnav towards his bike.

Arjun sighed seeing it. He always asks Arnav to accompany him in car but no, he will deny it and start giving lecture on  professionalism. Soon they both left for the office.

In India:

AR Fashion house:

Akash is lost in his own thoughts. Today’s morning incidents are flashing in his mind. His siblings know about their Bhai and din’t even informed him. they made plan themselves and asked to call Bhai for Anjali’s marriage. What will be the consequences if Bhai comes home ?? He knew what would definitely. His mother is not going to forgive his Bhai soo easily nor even his father. The trio ( Anjali, Lavanya and NK) don’t know the damage his Bhai caused to his parents heart. But he knew, they were broken totally inside. He knew until this day, they couldn’t come out of the trauma and he himself witnessed many nights his father crying holding Shashi uncle’s photo. His mother sleepless nights thinking about Khushi. Truth to be said, even he is still angry with his Bhai. Now along with Bhai seeing his so called wife who is the sole reason for all this mess is not easy for his parents. Why the hell these three fools have to do this ??

Once his Bhai is a role model, mentor, guide  for him. He is the best brother anyone could get. But now the person whom he respects most became pain of his parents and his best friend Khushi. Even the reason why Payal is rejecting him is because he is the brother of Arnav.

How will Guptas react if they come to know about Arnav’s arrival ?? Mostly Khushi, how will she react ?? Isn’t she the most who is affected by his Bhai’s deeds. Her whole  life is destroyed. He knew she would never show her pain to anyone but he can read her eyes easily. They are friends for the past ten years for nothing.

How  he  have to face the person who is root cause of pain of his parents, his bestfriend ?? 

“ Akash” a voice came bringing him out of the trance. He looked at Khushi wearing a pale blue color saree  looking at him weirdly.

“ Where were you lost ??”asked Khushi.

“ Nothing” said Akash.

“ You can’t lie to me” said Khushi.

“ Come. Let’s go for the meeting” said Akash and left from there. Khushi felt something fishy but left behind him for the meeting.
