Entire night Rudra and Kripa stayed in Khushi's room. Three of them slept on same bed together.
Next Day
Breakfast at Gupta's Place
Kripa begin serving her family. She smiled at Khushi (who ate her blueberry pancakes) with love. She kept on nibbling and nibbling. Rudra smile at the sight and decide (not to go) work and spend the entire day with his sister.
Khushi notice her brother smiling "Bro, why are you smiling today? What's the reason behind it?" she asked.
Rudra: I've decide to bunk office for change and take my sister out after taking her Bhabhi to the door for her appointment.
Khushi about to get excited, but remembers (whenever they make plan to spend it together), but the opposite happens.
She just smile.
Rudra: You ain't happy.
Khushi: I am, but I just want to spend the moment instead of getting excited because
Rudra: I know! Everything we make plan something happen, but today I don't care. Kripa get ready soon after your done with breakfast and Khushi if you are done than please get ready.
Khushi nod her head. She left toward her room. She took out her yellow churidar and matching earrings.
She wore matching undergarments (because the dress itself) is transparent. Its sleeveless, V-shape neck with silver work patterns, and the scarf itself is transparent. She smile at herself and stare at the mark on her forehead (indication of Arnav's dried blood.. left its mark on it) she decide to hide that mark with pinning up her bangs afterwards head downstairs waiting for her brother and bhabhi.
Breakfast at Raizada Mansion in Delhi
Anjali came down stairs and greets her family. Both Kavya and Panchi greets her. She join them for breakfast.
Kavya: Mr. Irani said the wedding went great and appreciate that Arnav took time to attend it with a girl.
Anjali start laughing "Chote or girl" her laughter got louder "are you serious, Dad" "Anjali beta, what do you mean Chote or girl" her mother asked.
Anjali controlled her laughter "Mom, I know my Chote very well and him being around girls impossible unless if that girl flattered his heart" Panchi smile.
Panchi pray silently and wanting her son to return home with the girl who won his heart, but Kavya looked worried.
Snowfall Park
Rudra park his car outside "Snowfall Adventure Park" Khushi's face light up in excitement.
Kripa smile in Khushi's smile. She hugged her husband and thanked him with her eyes. He just kissed her forehead "are we going to stand here or enjoy ourselves" Khushi pulled her Brother's hand (Kripa fallowing them) inside the park. She made a list of rides she wanted to sit with her brother since Kripa Bhabhi can't join them (because of the baby) anyways after paying the entrance fees and getting "all-day-pass" that give you the authority of ultimate rides.
Rudra: What's on Angel's list to begin with? Natural Water Fall or Humpty's Rollcoster?
Khushi: Let's begin with Natural Water Fall cause I always enjoy it twice the most than Humpty's Rollcoster since its your favourite and Teacup.
Rudra: Sounds good. Kripa, are you sure you'll be fine without me?
Kripa: I'll be fine. Just enjoy yourself and give me the camera to capture the moments.
Khushi pass her camera to Kripa while she and Rudra stand in the line. Its huge line because Natural Water Fall is famous among the people. Slowly, slowly line decrease and its Khushi's turn with her brother. She sat behind her brother (because of her churidar and she snuggle into her brother's arm from behind). The ride begin moving slowly upwards, once its reach the top, speed itself got faster going downwards (Khushi held onto her brother from the back) before splash them (route of the ride is twice before its done).
Kripa enjoyed taking snaps of Khushi snuggling into her brother (protecting herself from getting wet) and Rudra's expression when the water splash him on the face. Kripa share her laughter's while capturing those imagines.
Khushi ran toward Kripa and hugged her "naughty, planning to get Bhabhi wet" Kripa scolds her (falsely, showing anger)
Khushi's bright smile turn into frown.. start walking away when Kripa hugged her from behind "Mera Shona, already upset when Bhabhi is just pulling her leg" Khushi hugged Kripa that instant.
Kripa hugged her too.
Rudra slowly take his cell out of Kripa's purse and capture the moment on his phone. He always capturing those unknown moments because they are unforgettable in life.
Raizada's family in Delhi
Panchi sat inside her room
(looking at family picture of baby Arnav to his teenage hood to adult hood) Anjali came inside her mother's room and notice her mother lost in Chote's pictures.
Anjali snap her fingers to get her mother's attention "yeah, Anjali" Panchi spoke after recovering from sudden reality check.
Anjali: Missing Chote
Panchi sigh: Missing him and worried about him.
Anjali: Worried! About what?
"You won't understand" she told her daughter before finding herself lost in her thoughts about Arnav... I can't explain the fear growing inside me. Every passing moments I can see Arnav going far away from us.
Anjali again snapped her finger to get her mother's attention "what happen" Panchi asked Anjali.
Anjali: Mom, I've been talking for pass few minutes and you haven't reacted to the news I revealed.
Panchi: Sorry Beta! What were you saying?
Anjali sighs: Mom since Dad told me about the alliance this morning I've been thinking about it and I've came up with
Panchi notice hesitation developing in her daughter's eyes. She cupped her daughter's face "Anjali, nobody is forcing you" I told her "take your time" I felt like adding the last bit to convince myself instead of Anjali. As a mother I've always wanted the best for my kids and always have.
Anjali: I know! Mom.
Anjali laid her head in her mother's lap "you and dad have always wanted the best for me and Chote" she look at her mother and held her hand "I've decided to give this alliance a chance" Panchi stare at Anjali "are you sure"
Anjali: I've been thinking about it and Dad is right... what's the harm in meeting the guy and if I don't like him than the alliance itself will be declined form our side.
Panchi kissed Anjali's forehead "god bless you my child" she hugged her daughter with pride.
