Epilogue

(above banner by me..:) )
Khushi carried Aarushi out of the bathroom, her 5 years old daughter.. She just got her from bath, and saw Arnav playing games in his phone, well, she thought he was playing..
Aarushi was laughing, wrapped in towel and yelled for Arnav who smiled wide now getting up to go take her from his wife..
Arnav-Hey my doll.. Let's get ready..
He carried her while Khushi went to the cupboard and got her baby's frock.. She closed the cupboard and went to him who was carrying Aarushi near the dressing table mirror..
Khushi-It is ok, I'll make her ready.. On her birthday even you just dint come and get her ready, either she or I have to call you which you still ignored..
She was angry he knew, yesterday Arnav just made it to the party after Khushi made a few calls..
Khushi-What do you keep doing in that mobile? Show me..
Arnav took a step back putting his mobile safely in his pockets..
Arnav-Okay na, I. It is nothing..You know yesterday I had some unavoidable meeting. *sigh* Khushi, but I made it for her birthday Khushi.. I..
Khushi-You still missed the cake cutting.. What was more important Arnav ji?
She showed him her palm to stop talking..
Khushi-Just let it be.. Aarushi, stand properly..
Khushi made Aarushi stand on the dressing table stool and the little princess looked around..
Aarushi-Daddy, mah gipts?
She looked at the gifts kept on the recliner, yesterday was her birthday, she fell asleep very soon after the party which was kept in Shantivan, playing a lot and eating only cakes..
Aarushi-Mamma I open them all.. Daddy, help me..
Khushi-Aarushi stand straight.. Let mamma get you ready then run as much as you want..
She made Aarushi wear frock and made her hairs and clipped a side pin on her hairs, from her new Barbie pin set which Arnav got yesterday for Aarushi.. Arnav had ordered so much online for her, and Khushi too.. He shopped many gifts for their family as well..
Aarushi-Mamma too wear pin..
She put one in Khushi's hairs and Khushi smiled seeing herself in the mirror, and turned to Aarushi kissing her..
Aarushi-Daddy, see.. May Mumma so beautipul..
Arnav nodded and saw her who had been concentrating only on her baby..
Arnav-That toh your Mumma is.. Why else do you think your daddy married her?
Khushi still avoided Arnav and Aarushi giggled in her own world..
Khushi-Ok beta.. Now go open gifts but no messing around with daddy.. Okay?
Aarushi pouted but nodded, and opened her arms so Arnav picked her up.. She kissed Khushi and her daddy next, and the father - daughter went to the recliner.. Arnav sat down on carpet with Aarushi in his lap, while Khushi made the bed..
Arnav (whispers)-Aarushi, call mamma too baby..
Aarushi yelled out for her mamma though Khushi was in the same room..
Aarushi-MAMMA!
Khushi-Aarushi, beta mamma is right here.. Screaming is not good manners..
Aarushi-Come na mamma..
Her daughter pouted so sweetly, Khushi nodded.. She felt tired and went to the two and sat down.. Just then there was a knock, the door was not locked, HP pushed it open and Akshay ran in..
Akshay-Bade paapa.. Maachi, Aaruchi.. Gipt opening without me?
He ran to them but Aarushi got up and sat in Khushi's lap before he would..
Aarushi-MY mamma..
Aarushi was too possessive of her things, especially Khushi.. She hugged her mamma's neck and Akshay started to open his sister's gift.. Arnav chuckled and Khushi nodded in denial..
Aarushi-Daddy! MY gifts!
Aarushi got up and pushed Akshay a bit, Arnav and Khushi stopped them from fighting, explaining how sweet and understanding they should be.

Aarushi and Akshay hugged each other, and opened gifts together as Khushi guided now..
Khushi-Now Mamma will get chocolate milk for both.. Aarushi, ask daddy to help you and Akshay arrange gifts in lowest rack of that cupboard.. And Aarushi, share your gifts with your brother, my good girl, okay?
Khushi kissed the kids and saw Arnav.. He nodded and she smiled going down.. Khushi was making milk and Arnav's black coffee too, when HP opens the door, it was NK, it was indeed a very pleasant surprise..
NK-Nani, Masi ji, Nannav, Aakash.. Where is everybody?
All gathered in hall and there was chaos.. Khushi came out with a glass of water in a tray, smiling wide..
NK-Khushi Bhabhi! Long time.. Aap kaisi hai? (How are you?) Nannav aapka dhyan to rakhta hai na? ( Does Nannav take proper care of you?) Ekdam sukh ke chhanta ho gaye ho, ek dum sahi kaha na maine?
All chuckled.. There came Payal too..
Payal-It is kaanta, not chhanta.. Chhanta means slap.. But ya, my small sister has surely became thin running after Aarushi, and behind my little Akshay..
NK held his ear for language mistake and Khushi smiled nodding in denial.. NK showed excitement in meeting the kids and left for up revealing his reason to have come here, for his photography project, on Taj Mahal..
***
NK met the Raizada brother's kids, and as Anjali was now well settled with Dr. Rahul at Hyderabad, with her 5 years old Ansh and 2 years old daughter Diya, NK managed to make a call to Anjali Di, as he won't make it to Hyderabad..
His plan for Delhi was of only 2 days.. He so wanted to extend the trip having fun with kids, but alas..!
He distributed chocolates among kids and went to meet his brothers having played enough with kids..
Aakash, Arnav and NK remembered good old days, took a memory photo and NK left for Gupta House, where he met Buaji and family..

ArShi Room..
Khushi was having a nap on bed, when Arnav jumped besides her with a report file, and smiled seeing Khushi.. He kissed her cheek waking her up..
Khushi-Ummm.. Arnav Ji, let me sleep until Aarushi is with Jiji..
Arnav-No! Wake up.. We've to water the plants on Poolside, Khushi, come now..
He smiled remembering for a second his garden at The AR Office, which Khushi had set up for his happiness he knew, (during the period Lavanya was here trying to win the Raizadas to marry ASR), just like he had put a silver coin in that chamko' washing powder detergent packet for Khushi's happiness, which Khushi was able to guess about, at this year's Laxmi Puja time.. They both loved each other so much, taking care of every smallest happiness of their mate, making it their priority, then to seek in for big surprises..
He caressed her hairs..
Arnav-Come on Khushi.. Don't be lazy..
Khushi opened her eyes now angry..
Khushi-Lazy? What the! I mean, I am tired.. Have you ever seen how much your daughter makes me run behind her?
She pushed him away..
Arnav-Excuse me? MY Daughter!! No complains I can hear on her name.. And Khushi, I think you're getting too much tired off late, not little.. And I know this secret but won't tell you, my love..-
She saw him frowning and cut his sentence..
Khushi-Wait..
Arnav-The hidden secret behind your irritation when I come to show you my true love, is right here, the test results Khushi..
Khushi seriously woke up to sit on bed and gulped now.. They had been trying to get these test results positive since a few months now..
Khushi-Arnav Ji.. Is it.. So, you were at the doctor's last night??
Arnav- And all time on mobile, secret follow ups.. Ssshhh.. It's a secret.. *chuckles* And this time, I will not tell you.. The Hidden Secret Of Our True Love is locked right here in this File..
His smile but said everything.. She too smiled a bit, she nodded in denial..
Khushi had guessed this a few days back already. Test from doctor's end was made for being sure.. She held his hands.. Her happy tears ready to flow..
Khushi-It is positive.. Haina? (Right?)
Arnav-Yes! I already knew, after all I know your period cycle more appropriately then you..
He winked.. Khushi hit him blushing and hugged him..
Khushi-I love you so much Arnav ji.. I love you very so much.. Thank you for everything..
He nodded and they kissed happily, waiting to welcome their second expected child, their second daughter, Arshi..
