thanks everyone for ur lovely comments😊

In malick mansion as soon as themallicks reached home

Arm-khushi I want answers whydidn't you tell us the truth ?

Why didn't you tell us that asr is ur ex husband

Khushi was hell nervous she could not answer anything

Even ridhima could not help even she was nervous and her behaviour did not went unnoticed by arman

Arm-and u ridhima why i feel like u too knew this but didn't find it important to me and bhai

Ri-it is not like this arman plz try to understand

Arm-then how is it like ridhima [he shouted and ridz and khushi flinched at it]

Ri-arman i didn't tell u because me and khushi we did not wanted u or bhai to do something against him we did not wanted to go back into the past from which khushi has moved on

Arm-like hell she moved on as if we don't know anything

Arj-and how could u both do this I just did not expected this from u both

Arm-especially u ridhima and tell me what all have u hidden from me i want to know everything

Ridhima looked at his eyes and knew this the time she should say about each and every encounter of her and arnav and she told them everything from the first encounter t their last meet

Arman held ridhima's forearms tightly mking her hiss in pain

Ar-how could u ridhima how could u hide so many things from me my ridhi who use to tell me each and everything about her meetings encounters daily routines hide such big things from me and how could u take him as ur brother ridhima did u forget what all he did to khushi ur friend ur sister

Ridhima started crying badly at this and ran to room as she could not take it that she has hurt her arman so much and khushi came forward to answer all questions seeing that because of her ridhima and arman's relation is getting effected

Kh-dau... but she was cut by arman

Arm- I don't wana talk to u khushi

They started going when khushi held both of their hand and broke down she sat on floor crying holding their hands and repeating sorry both could not take this and bend down and stroked her hairs but still could not completely make their self to forgive her but when she lunged towards them hugged both of them and started with what ever she had to say how she did not wanted her past to effect her and she knew that they would try to punish arnav and how later arnav's tries to make her forgive him and efforts to bring her and amaira back into his life started effecting her and her fear of relations reduced how she saw the happiness in amaira and arnav's face today how she has started loving him again and how she wanted to tell both of them the whole truth the hidden facts but was afaird of how they wil react fear that she would lose them fear that the proise she took from ridhima about being mum on this topic would effect her relation with both of them too how she was trying to find a way that nothing would be messed and no one will be hurt and all problems would be sorted but all got ruined and started saying sorry for herself and ridhima and how she wanted them to forgive arnav and see his changed self and how he is getting punished by being away from her and amaira

Arman and arjun for a while were just silent then looked at each other made their angel stop crying and forgive her and ridhima but how they can't trust arnav now and r not willing to let him take khushi or amaira with him

Kh-plz dau bhai plz try to understand plz u always wated me happy and I m getting that share of happiness now arnav has actually changed bhai plz give him a chance

Arj-if u say we will watch him and if we find him suitable enough to take care of u and amaira only then arnav would be forgiven but they need time to trust and check him and she happily hugged them agreeing to it and went to rest in her room

Arman went to his room and saw ridhima curled up on bed like a baby and crying her heart out he felt pain seeing her like this

When ridz saw him she ran to him and started saying sorry

Ri- I m sorry ammy I m so so sorry I never wanted to hurt you or bhai I just kept silent for khushi and amaira first khushi took promise from me but I kept and eye on him and I felt that he was genuinely trying to change himself for khushi that he really loves khushi and amaira want them back in his life but without forcing or manipulating khushi or anyone and later it seemed like khushi too started loving him again and her fears were reducing because of arnav's efforts and I wanted all the decisions of telling truth to u and bhai and the decision of her again being with arnav or not I wanted to leave all these on her only I m sorry arman

Arman quietened her by keeping his finger on her lips and said sorry to her

Arm-I m sorry jaan m so sorry for behaving so badly with you a while ago I know u love khushi and amaira and u won't do anything that would harm them m sorry baby plz don't cry u know I can't these tears in ur eyes

Ridhima hugged him again and arman carried her to bed put her down and kissed her slowly in a sotthing and calming way

Coming out of the kiss arman kissed her forehead

Arm-I love u

Ridhima hid her face in his crook and mumbled I love u and slept hugging him tightly and arman to holding her tight slept

Next morning

Everyone came down for breakfast

Ridhima came and saw arjun coming down she called him hesitatingly

Ri-bhai she called with teary eyes

And arjun understood and opened his arms

Ridhima ran and hugged him saying sorry but before she could explain herself to him he stopped her from doing so kissed her forehead

Arj-it's ok ridhi I know u did what u felt was right for angel and princess m not anymore angry with u both he said looking a her and khushi

And khushi to came and hugged him and arman and amaira said in fake anger

Arman had amaira in his arms

Arm & ama -huh no one care about us no one loves us

All the other three said in unison nautanki and they called the for hu g they all hugged each other

After a while at breakfast table

Ri- bhai u and arman r going to factory na

Arj-yes

Ri-u remember na I told u about a company person wanting to meet us

Arj-yes what was the name

Ri-S designs

Arj-yes but do u think we should have any deal with them I mean I haven't heard of thecompany ever before

Arm-hmm not even me

Kh-ya not even me

Ri-ya I too asked them the same question they said they r new in the field and have not done any big work yet but r seeking for good offers and deals to expand so why not help them and be benifited by them too if they r good

Arj- ya not bad but be careful they could be fraud too

Ri-ji bhai abd I was thinking of taking khushi too with me

Arj-sure two r better then one but again be

Kh,ri-careful we know bhai and with this everyone leaving arjun started laughing

And the doorbell rang

Ri-common khushi get ready m done with breakfast lets eave after the meeting we will go to office and in way to meeting we will leave a maira and maria in the shop

Arm-shop for what

Kh-there is some grocery that is to be bought and amaira will go out some where it will be better for her

All said yes and were leaving when they saw arnav standing their

Amaira was sent up in her room

And arjun and arman were angry seeing him but were quit because of khushi and khushi was all nervous and looking at arnav one could tell that the man was distressed and was in a bad condition sems like he has not slept all night

Arnav looked at khushi and saw how she was worrid for him and a little hope got enlightened in his heart seeing that she still care for him

Arjun bhai arman I wanted to talk to u both

Ri-arnav bhaiya why don't u go to office right now we will talk later

Arj-ridhima u and khushi should leave for meeting it is not good to be late and they have to leave though reluctantly

Khushi and ridhima while leaving gave worried glances towards arnav and he gave reassuring look to them and through eyes asked them to leave and this was seen by arjun and arman

After they left arnav did not know how to say what he wanted to say but none the less he started

Arn-actually I wanted to say sorry I know this is just not enough for what all I did

Arj-exactly

Arnav got silent but did not dieter from what he came to do

Arn-but I want to do something that could correct my wrong doings a little at least how much I could

Do I want t do

Arm-so whatever u r doing it is just because u r repenting for the wrong u di

Arn-partly yes and partly no I want to do everything that I could to lessen the pain I gave to khushi and amaira but m not doing everything just because I m repenting but also because I want her back in my life because I love her but I won't force her like in past I want it to be her decision to come back in my life

Arm-oh really what have u taken khushi as what is she a puppet that she will dance on ur tunes when u want her out of her life u will throw her when u will want her back in ur life she should come back to u but before he could say anything arjun stopped him

Arj-arnav I don't think it is the right time for us to talk we r not in our correct mind frame to talk to u or take any decision about u or khushi give us some time

Arnav could clearly see how arman and arjun both were trying to control their anger

He just left from there

After a while he was sitting in his office chair thinking about the morning incidence he knew it is not easy for arjun and arman to control their anger and not say or do anything to him he knew they r doing this because of khushi and ridhima but they will take time to come in terms with everything and even more time to forgive him or maybe they would never forgive him maybe they would never give permission to khushi to come back in her life

He was thinking all this when he felt a tug on his suit he looked down and saw amaira there

Ama-r u my dada?

And tears started coming out of her eyes

Arnav sat down and hugged her tightly

Ar-yes bacha m ur dada

Am-I hate u I hate u why did u left me and ma why didn't u told me that u r my dada before

Arnav was still for few seconds when he heard that his daughter hate him

Ama-u won't leave us and go now na say na dada she shaked him and he nodded a no that he won't ever leave her and amaira hugged him smiling this time

ama-I love u dada I love u so much

arnav took a breath of relief after listening to this

he hugged her

ar-bacha don't ever say that u hate me plz ur dada can't take this I can't take u hating me bacha

ama-I love u dada she held her ears and said sorry for saying hate him

he held her hands brought them to him and kissed them and nodded no

ar- no princess u don't need to say sorry instead I should say sorry plz forgive ur dada bacha

am-not needed dada just promise that u will never leave me alone

ar- I promise u baby

arnav hugged her and kissed her forehead and cheeks
