In Newyork:

In the evening, Arnav and Arjun returned from the office to Khurana Mansion. Arjun explained to her mother about Arnav’s decision.

“ Really beta. You are going to India” asked Sharada

“ Ji aunty. “ said  Arnav.

“ Good decision Arnav. I too think you should face your family. Who knows may be they will forgive you ??”said Sharada.

“ I don’t know aunty  whether they will forgive me or not. But I will seek apology for them. I caused a lot of pain to them” said Arnav.

“ But I will miss Aryan”said Sharada sadly” I will forget my loneliness with his presence”

“ Don’t worry maa. He will return after one month” said Arjun.

“ Yes aunty. You can daily see him through skype. Even Aryan too will miss you” said Arnav.

“ But Still…”said Sharada.

“ Mamma. What will you do when Aryan goes to School ??”asked Arjun

“ Arnav. tell your friend that is why I am asking him  to marry. So that I will get a bahu who will accompany me and I will fulfil my wish of having a daughter.” Said Sharada.

Arjun slipped out from there silently.

“ See. How he is escaping ??”said Sharada looking at his going direction.

“ Don’t worry Aunty. When he finds a right girl, he won’t wait even if you say” said Arnav.

“ Hope that day comes soon” said  Sharada “ You stay here for dinner”

“ But aunty no need for it.” said Arnav.

“ No. I don’t want to hear anything. You will go after two days for one month and I want to spend more time with Aryan” said Sharada.

“ Ok Aunty” said Arnav.

“ Now. Go and freshup in the room” said Sharada showing the room which Arnav uses when he stays there.

After dinner, Arjun came to Arnav’s room. Aryan is with Sharada.

“ Did you talk with your sister ??”asked Arjun. Arnav nodded as NO.

“ What are you looking for ?? Call them on to skype” said Arjun and Arnav called NK to come on Skype.

Within few minutes, both NK and Anjali are on the screen.

“ What did you decide Bhai ??”asked Anjali.

“ Your Bhai is coming to India in two days and stays until your marriage” said Arjun.

“ Really!!’ Anjali jumped happily almost on her seat. She hugged NK who hugged her back

“ Who are you ??”asked NK looking at Arjun.

“ Nk. He is my friend cum Boss, Arjun Khurana” said Arnav.

Both NK and Anjali gave a smile to him.

“Arjun, she is Anjali and he is NK. “ said Arnav and turning to them” Where is Lav ??”

“ She have an exam today. So, she went early to college” said Anjali.

“ paa” came a voice and Anjali, Nk became excited.

“ Aryan!! Come here” called Arnav and Aryan came to him. Arnav kept Aryan on his lap.

“ See there. Chachu and Bua” said Arnav showing the screen. 

“ achu. Bua” said Aryan waving his hand to them

“ Bhai. He is soo cute. I can’t wait to hold him” said Anjali.

But suddenly Aryan hovered over the laptop saying” ames  ames”

 

Arnav held him away from the laptop.

“ What does he want ?? Doesn’t he like us ??’asked NK.

“ No. it’s not that. He wants to play games” said Arnav.

“ Champ. Here take this. “ said Arjun giving his phone.

“ No!! you bad phone. Paa good phone” said Aryan moving away Arjun’s phone

“ Haww What!! My phone is bad phone adn your father’s is a good one. Champ, that’s not fair” said Arjun.

“ I will give him to aunty and come” said Arnav and left with Aryan from there.

Anjali and Nk looked at each other.

 

“Where is Sheetal ??” asked Anjali to NK.

“ I don’t know. I have never seen or heard about her from Bhai.” Said NK.

“ Sheetal is not there” said Arjun listening their words.

“ Not there!! What does it mean ??”asked Anjali.

Arnav entered the room and sat before them.

“ Bhai. Where is your wife ??” asked Anjali.

Arnav kept an uncomfortable face.

“ Your friend is saying she is not there. Where is she ??”asked NK.

“ She is no more. She died during delivery” said Arnav.

“ What!” both shrieked and looked at each other with shock.

“ That means you are looking after Aryan alone from past two years” asked Anjali.

Arnav nodded his head.

“ We are sorry Bhai” said NK.

“ Why are you saying sorry ?? Ok. I will leave now. Take care. I am coming in two days. I will stay at employee’s flat” said Arnav and disconnected the line.

IN RM:

At the breakfast table:

Avinash and Manohar came to dining table for having breakfast. Only Nani is present and Ratna, Manorama arranging dishes.

“ where are others ??”asked Avinash.

“ HP went to call them. Lavanya left early. She have an exam today” said Ratna.

Akash is coming downstairs when Anjali and Nk came running from upstairs shouting happily.

Anjali held Akash and twirled him with her in happiness.

“What happened Anju ??”asked Akash.

“Arnav Bhai agreed to come to my marriage” said Anjali.

Akash and others were puzzled but din’t show up.

“He is coming in two days and going to stay here until my marriage” said Anjali and again started dancing.

This news surely shocked the family. He will stay for one month with them. Akash and Avinash looked at Ratna who is looking horrified.

But Anjali is in her own world jumping in happiness.

“ I can’t believe this. Bhai is coming. I am going to meet him after two and half years. I have seen his son. He is damn cute” Anjali went on going about Aryan while the family had a bitter expression.

In all this, they din’t saw the person who was more than shocked as well as angry with the news..It was none other than Payal. Fuming in anger, Payal left from there.

Payal came into the house like  a storm and sat on the sofa angrily. Khushi and Garima who are at the breakfast table looked at her surprised.

“ Payal. Come and have breakfast” said Garima.

“ I am not hungry” said Payal.

Khushi and Garima came to her. both sat beside her.

“ What happened ??”asked Khushi patting Payal’s head.

“ He is coming back” said Payal.

“ Who ??”asked Khushi and Garima.

“ Arnav Singh Raizada” said Payal gritting her teeth. Garima’s eyes grew wide hearing it.

“ How do you know ?? Who said you ??”asked  Garima.

“ I heard Anjali Di announcing he agreed to come to her marriage. He is staying with them for one month” said Payal angrily.

Garima’s eyes darted to her elder daughter, who looked stunned for a moment and then soon masked her feelings.

“ What’s wrong in it ??’asked Khushi.

Garima and Payal looked at her shocked

“ Di. What are you saying ?? How can they allow that man ??”asked Payal.

“ Because he is the son of that house. one day or other they have to accept him. we shouldn’t be selfish Payal. They have every right to invite their son. For us, why should they stay away from their son. Don’t hold any grudges with them. ” Said Khushi and left from there.

“ Amma. See how Di is talking ??”asked Payal.

“ You know her. Don’t you ?? Khushi is always like that. Selfless. She is already feeling guilty because of her, Raizadas abandoned him. “ said Garima.

“ It is his mistake” said Payal “ What if he again hurts Di ??”

“ You are there for her. Don’t you ??”asked Garima.

“ Haan. I am there for my Di. I will never allow that Rakshas near my Di. I will punch his nose if he say something to my Di” said Payal.

Garima smiled seeing Payal. She is soo possessive of her Di and loves her a lot.
