 Khushi retired for the day with a yawn . It’s been a really hectic day- shopping, selecting jewelries, finalizing wedding stage decoration etc. In between Arnav's messages came. like, "Where are you?" "Did you have food?" "message me when you are free.." She replied him with short answers- "@jewellers", "Yes. From Puranmal and U had?" "OK". Throwing herself down on bed she unlocked her phone and typed a message to him. "Hi.. Where are you?"  Her phone vibrated with his reply in the very next minute. "Finally you remembered you have a husband." She smiled and typed a reply. "Sorry, was busy with the wedding planner." "Ok. wait. I will call you on facetime. " She suddenly got up from the bed and looked at the mirror.  She is wearing the Pink Silk Nightdress gifted by Payal on her wedding. Her sister asked her to wear it on her Suhagraat. Little did her sister know the truth about her

 Khushi was looking was looking flustered and embarrassed. She tried to move away from Arnav but he held her close firmly and looked at Akash as if nothing had happened. "What happened Akash?" "I am really sorry bhai and bhabi. The door was open. I came in search of Payal. Buaji was looking for her. " Akash said fighting a smile. "She went to help Di with something. You will find her downstairs. " Arnav replied in a normal tone. "Ok.. Sorry once again. And bhai I will close the door while leaving, you guys can continue what you were doing." Akash winked playfully and left from there closing the door behind him.  Khushi looked here and there refusing to meet his eyes. He lifted her chin upward, looked straight into her eyes, his eyes reflected tenderness when he smiled. She smiled back.  "Still angry with me?" He asked in a small voice gently caressing her soft cheek with his thump.  "Not angry.. I am afraid." "Afraid of

  "I asked you to take a photograph of Payal and Akash and publish it. Who asked you to go behind Anjali?" "Excuse me... You are not my employer to shout at me like this. You gave me their hotel details and room number for your hidden agenda. When I went there,  I saw a better breaking news than Akash-Payal story so I used it for my benefit. I need your help from now. You have to pass me each and every detail of Anjali and Shivaay's wedding. Our channel should get it first before anyone.  Now don't show me your attitude, If I reveal your name to ASR or anyone you are done." Madhumati gritted her teeth in anger and cut the call. That chit of a girl has the audacity to threaten her. She befriended a young journalist Tina during the time of Arnav and Khushi's reception. As she was the relative of Raizada's the girl gave her number. When Anjali, Payal and Akash left for the evaluation camp she called Tina and asked her to click a picture of Payal and Aka

 Senior Jha struggled to get up from the floor as Arnav and Akash watched him in fury. The old man uttered a choked curse and stood on his feet wrapping one arm around his abdomen. "Mr. Jha right now I just wanted to show you that I can slit you open and splash around like a child in a muddy puddle in your own office. Nothing will stop me from doing that. But you forgot a lesson , never turn your back until you know your enemy is dead. Looks like we'll have to go over the lesson the next time I see you , which will be soon." Mr. Jha held the headrest of his chair for support and snapped. "You are threatening me? Don't forget I am an experienced old player, you guys are still .."  "That is exactly what I wanted to say. You have become old now. So better mend your ways. And we will make pay for what you did to our Di. You will regret it very badly old man. By the way turn on the TV after one hour." Akash cut him in before the old man could complete h

"Have you totally lost it?"   Shivaay stamped his legs, blinded by rage. "That is the only practical solution Shivu." His father tried to explain. "Solution for what exactly? How can you even suggest something like this? This is like a punishment for helping her." "No Shivu.. Please listen to us. This fake news will destroy her future and yours too. Don't think this as a punishment. Anjali is a nice girl and her family is also nice. She will be a perfect wife for you." He finally understood his family's real intention behind this. "Oh.. So this is the matter. Now I get it. But sorry I am not going to marry her. You cannot force me Maa" "We are not forcing you.." "Oh really? Then what the hell were you people doing in past one year?  Now tell me one thing honestly. Was it any of you who called the media people there ?" He snapped at his family. "What are you saying? You think we can do something like tha

  "One last bite bitiya.. Aaa aaa. "   Muskaan opened her small mouth fully and Devyani lovingly fed her. "Good girl." She smiled at the little girl and turned towards Savitha. " Savitha please give her water and change her dress."  Savitha picked her up from the feeding chair and went inside. Devyani leaned back in her chair. There was a look of perfect contentment on her face. Finally all her grandchildren are happy and settled in their life. But since Anjali's marriage she noticed something was bothering her Chote. She asked him few times also, he didn't say anything. She had a rough idea what might be the reason. They didn't have a wedding ceremony like others, in their life many painful memories are there. Her chote did a big mistake. But with the grace of Devi maiyya they are together again. But somewhere she could see those old wounds causing them pain. Maybe time will heal everything.  "Nani.."  Arnav came to the living room

 Arnav followed his wife carrying a bunch of shopping bags. His wife excitedly continued her shopping at the bada bazaar of Udaipur.       Yesterday after checking into the Oberoi-Udaivilas hotel, he immediately left for the factory which was located in the outskirts. He returned back late after the meeting and found his wife waiting for him. That sight warmed his sight.  They ordered room service to bring the food. Even late night his business calls continued. Due to continuous calls and he couldn't even talk to her properly. Her slight annoyance when his phone rang continuously didn't go unnoticed by him.   So he decided to spent full day with his wife after switching off his phone, which was a first. He never bothered to impress any woman. They came to him easily. She was not fond of branded and expensive things. Other than functions, she never wore dresses gifted by him. He wondered how can he please her?       His previous relationships taught him that only money and lifes
