Anjali about to exit out of her house.
She screamed
Panchi came rushing out of the kitchen and froze on the spot.
2 min later
Kavya made his way downstairs and saw Anjali standing in shock and same with his wife He look toward their direction and saw his son standing with girl behind him. He got angry and march toward Arnav.
Khushi's grip got tighter than before.
Arnav's about to explain when Kavya took him in his arms "welcome home son and who's that girl standing behind you"
Arnav hugged his old man
Arnav: Dad, you scared me with your approach and she's Khushi your daughter-in-law and my wife.
That very instant Kavya fell in love with Khushi's innocent and took her in his arm. She looked at Arnav (for his permission) and he nod his head. She hugged him back "Uncle its great honour to meet you" Khushi broke the silent around the room. Anjali and Panchi came toward them.
Panchi blasted Arnav with question "what have you done? Who is this girl and why did you bring her here" she didn't give anyone to answer the question.
Anjali: Mom relax
Panchi: How can I relax when my son doesn't answer my question?
Arnav controlling his laughter
Anjali: If you give Chote a chance to speak than he'll be able to answer them. And look at the girl in Dad's arm (Panchi turn her head toward Kavya and Khushi. Khushi hid herself behind Kavya because of loud scream. She's always been kept protectively by her brother and bhabhi) she is very scared by the scene.
Panchi instantly felt attach to Khushi and her innocent. She spread her arm apart (indicating Khushi to hug her), but Khushi clutch tightly onto Kavya.
Kavya smile
Kavya cup Khushi's face and whisper in her ear. Her frown grew bigger into smile and hugged Panchi.
Panchi hugged her tightly and caressed her back.
Anjali touch Khushi's hair and smile at her too.
Arnav knew his family and knew they have soft heart in forgiving him because they love him unconditionally.
Arnav: Mom
Panchi stood up and put her hand forward (indicating him not to say a word) finally Kavya step forward for his son.
Kavya: Panchi just hear him out and we can't stay any longer mad at him.
Panchi: Why can't we stay mad at him?
Kavya: Because of him we got loving, adorable Angel in our family added.
Panchi agreed with her husband.
Panchi: Fine! Arnav, explain yourself before I trash you out of here.
Arnav knew his mother and her anger only last for a second before she regret it. He smirk.
Panchi: Warning you to speak up instead of smiling inwards because this time my anger isn't going to last for a second if you are thinking that.
Arnav: Mom, she Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada my wife. Just married her before coming down here.
Arnav notice his mother's expression
Arnav: If you are thinking that your son kidnap her and brought her hear without her family's agreement than you are wrong. Her brother himself got us married after I send them alliance. I know I should have informed you and Dad, but everything happen fast that I didn't understand anything. Anyways I am extremely tired and if everything is clear than my I please sleep now.
Panchi sigh because she know her son very well; but at least she is happy that everything happened with Khushi's family agreement otherwise she would have kicked her son out in frustration than regret it very instant. She smiled at him.
Arnav about to step inside when Panchi stopped him. She quickly explain something in Anjali's ear. Anjali dash inside prayer room and return with aarti. Panchi does the gharvarsh. She asked Khushi to kick kalash filled with rice. Khushi does what she is told than step inside red-colour liquid leaving behind her footprint while walking inside with Arnavji.
Panchi took them inside the prayer room. She knew Arnav hate stepping inside, but today she isn't worried about his disagreement.
Arnav: Mom, you know I hate stepping inside the prayer room than why are we here
Panchi: Chote
Arnav: No Mom
Khushi tug Panchi's sari
Panchi looked at her
Panchi: What's the matter, Angel
Khushi: Can I say something?
Panchi: Why not?
Khushi looked at Arnavji with smile on her face
Panchi: What's the matter? Why are you looking at Chote?
Khushi is confuse and wondering who's Chote
Khushi: Auntie, who's chote? Is there another baby in the house?
Arnav embarrassed by his wife's innocent question
Anjali burst out laughing.
Kavya trying to suppress his laughter because of Arnav's glare.
Panchi: Nahiin beta, its nothing like that. We call Arnav Chote because he's the smallest member of this house after Anjali.
Khushi: Oh! Just like the way my bhai and bhabhi call me Angel instead of Khushi most of the time.
Kavya: Yep!
Arnav thought to himself and turn to leave before anyone catch him, but his little wifey caught him before he could step on the stair.
Khushi: Arnavji, where are you going? Aren't we suppose to go inside the prayer room and why are you saying that you don't liking going inside because today itself we went to mandir for our marriage? Than why?
Kavya and Panchi gasped.
Anjali surprise.
Arnav wanting to smash his head in the wall. His wife is too naive and innocent to get him busted. He hates stepping inside the prayer room because of his family (meaning his mother to her mother) they are extremely dramatic with everything surrounding them.
Panchi recovered fast and questioned Arnav. Arnav thought best to attend it without further problem. He step inside the prayer room (pulling Khushi with him) and stared at his mother.
She smiled.
Panchi: Alright together light the diya and seek blessing for your life together as married couple.
Arnav fallowed his mother's instruction with Khushi. They both complete it quickly. He finally hugged his mother.
She hugged him tightly "welcome home" she kissed his forehead. Arnav took her blessing and indicate Khushi with his eyes to do the same. She also touch Panchi's feet with Arnav.
Panchi blessed them.
Arnav hugged his father again and took his blessing along with Khushi on his side. He turn toward his sister and took her into bear hug.
Anjali: Look like my Chote missed me a-lot
Arnav: More than anything, Di
Khushi heard the word "Di" and thought to touch Anjali's feet. She bend down to touch her feet when Anjali stopped her halfway.
Anjali: What are you doing?
Khushi: Bhabhi say that its bad manners to alter respect toward their elders and you are his older sister and that make you my older sister. I am just taking your blessing.
Anjali: I might be his older sister and now yours; but you don't have to touch my feet and remember from today itself we are friends.
Anjali hugged Khushi and Khushi hugged her.
Kavya admire his family and pray to god keeping his family always together in bond of love.
Panchi silently agreed to her husband's prayer.
Kavya: Enough of greetings now and Arnav beta take Khushi upstairs into your room since you both are tired. Fresh up and join us for lunch than take some rest before dinner.
Arnav: Dad skip our lunch. We'll come down directly for dinner.
Khushi pull onto Arnav's arm.
Arnav looked at Khushi with his eyes and question her.
She lower her head.
Anjali: Chote, you aren't alone anymore. You have Khushi's responsibility. You might not be hungry, but she might be hungry.
Arnav sigh and agreed with his sister. She's right. Khushi is his responsibility and he can't ignore it now.
