Weeks passed by...
Vinay and Anjali's wedding.
Anjali is dressed as a bride.
Khushi only dressed her.
K:Anjaliji,you look gorgeous in the bridal attire.I am sure Vinayji would be flattered when he sees you.
Anjali blushed.
When Vinay saw Anjali on the mandap he was bowled over by her beauty.
He whispered:You are sweet like a jalebi Anji...
Anjali could only blush.
Vinay-Anjali entered into the blissful marital bond.
Khushi saw Vinay's mother Raghuvati in front of her.Her face was dull.
Khushi thought:Why this Vinayji's mother is staring at me?I think she was'nt happy about this wedding.
R:You are Khushi.Right?
K:Yes.
R:You only played cupid to unite Vinay and Anjali.Right?
Khushi was so nervous that she could'nt look at her face:Yes.
Slowly Raghuvati smiled:Thank you so much Khushi.Because of you my son got his love back.Otherwise he would have remained a bachelor through out his life.
Khushi was relieved.
K:Auntiji...be happy.Anjaliji is so sweet that she will make Vinayji always happy.
R:I know.Something is there in Anjali.Otherwise my son would never love her this much.I completely trust his choice.
Khushi smiled.
Finally it's the time for Anjali's departure with Vinay.Anjali cried hugging Khushi and Jayashree.
K:Don't cry Anjaliji.It's the start of a beautiful beginning.
Anjali tried to smile.
Anjali left with Vinay.
Khushi went to a lonely area.Arnav went near Khushi.
A:Khushi...Why are you standing alone?
K:Though I am happy that Anjaliji got married to her Vinayji I am sad about losing my friend.
He went closer to her.
A:Khushi...I am your friend.Right?Then why are you sad about not having a friend?
Khushi smiled.
They smiled at each other.
He came very close to her and rubbed her forehead romantically with his.She blushed.
After 2 days...
Khushi and Arnav got ready to go for Vinay Anjali's reception party.Khushi wore a red saree.Arnav was flattered.He could'nt control himself.Khushi was shy.
Arnav took the camera and clicked her pictures.
He went near her.
A:Khushi...you are...you are so beautiful.
She was shy.
He moved towards her.
K:Arnavji...this saree is not new.You don't remember?Naniji had gifted me this saree to wear on her birthday.
He smiled:Whether its new or not you are fresh and pretty like a lovely flower.
She smiled.Her eyes glowed when they met his eyes.
Rabba ve...
K:Arnavji...tomorrow shall we visit Amarji and Madhubalaji?They have come back from Lavanyaji and Rahulji.Rahulji is improving.
A:That's good.We will visit them soon.
K:I bought a saree for Madhubalaji.Once she gave me a gift.Now I will give her a gift.
He smiled.Suddenly the calling bell rang.They opened the door.They were surprised to see Amar and Madhubala.
Arn:What a pleasant surprise!
K:We were talking about you both.
M:Cool.Beautiful saree Khushi.Are you guys going out?
K:Yes.For a wedding reception party.
M:Oh!Wrong timing.
K:No problem.Why don't you both come with us to the party?
Arn:That's a good idea.The bride groom is my best friend and the bride is Khushi's best friend.They have invited the whole family and you guys belong to our family only.So without any hesitation come with us.
Amar:Ok.
M:But I don't have any party wear to be worn to the party.How can I wear this dress to the wedding reception?
Amar:So what?Madhu...you are not the bride.
Everyone giggled.
M:Amar..don't make fun of me.Men have no choice.Even the party wear looks odd.But women always look special on special occasions.Because they have so many grand party attires.But unfortunately I have nothing to wear now.
Amar gave her a naughty romantic look:Madhu...you look hot in this dress.You don't need any other attire for the wedding function.
Madhu smirked:Oh really my naughty Prince?
Am:Yes my dear Princess.
Arnav and Khushi smiled silently seeing their naughty romance.
M:Amar...I know that this dress is nice.But I don't like wearing western dress for Indian wedding party.Traditional attire is the best to be worn for an Indian wedding.
Amar:Madhu...sometimes you are a typical Indian Woman.
M:Ya...after all I am an Indian and I am prowd to be an Indian.
K:Madhubalaji is right.Wearing traditional outfit for Indian wedding party is definitly more beautiful.Don't worry Madhubalaji.Actually I had bought a saree for you.A small gift.Why don't you wear it for the party?
Madhubala was surprised:Wow!
Khushi gifted her the saree.
M:Thank you so much Khushi.This saree helped me a lot today.
Madhubala opened the cover and was surprised to see the saree.It was very much similar to the one which Khushi was wearing.
M:Khushi...I really liked your saree and I wanted to buy this type of a saree.Surpisingly you gifted me the same variety.
Khushi smiled:Madhubalaji...last time when we met you gifted me the same kind of the saree you had.I was also surprised to get that saree as I had loved your saree.
They smiled.
Madhubala came out wearing that saree.Amar and Arnav were surprised to see Khushi and Madhubala standing together wearing the smilar saree.
Arnav:That day when Khushi wore the similar kind of a saree which Madhu had I was amused.But today again it repeated.And first time I am seeing you both together wearing a similar attire.What a wonder!
Amar:You both look like sisters.
Khushi and Madhubala became emotional.
M:We are like sisters only.
They hugged each other.Amar-Arnav smiled.
K:Madhubalaji,you want to see the party invitation car?It's beautiful.
She showed her invitation.Madhu smiled seeing the grand invitation card.
They went to the party.Arnav-Khushi introduced Amar-Madhu to Vinay-Anjali.They became so friendly with each other that they kept chatting.
Months passed by...
Everything was going fine.Khushi was wiping the table.Suddenly she felt uncomfortable.
Arnav and Jayashree heard her cry from another room.They were scared.
A:Khushi?
They ran to the room.
Khushi was crying loudly.
A:Khushi,what happened?
J:What happened Khushi bitiya?
K:Arnavji...pain...naniji...my stomach is paining.I can't bear this.
J:I think it's labor pain.Chottu...take her to the hospital now itself.
Arnav carried her in his arms.
While Khushi was taken to the labor room she was crying:Arnavji...
Arnav became upset.
A:Nothing will happen Khushi.You and our baby will be fine.
Khushi reached the room.Arnav was tense.
J:Chottu...why are you so tense?This is normal among women.Think about what will happen after some time.
Still Arnav was tense.
After some time they heard a baby's cry.
Arnav and Jayashree became happy.
The nurse brought the baby:It's a baby boy.
Jayashree carried the baby in her arms happily.Then she handed over the baby to Arnav.
Arnav was very happy seeing his baby's face.
He went near Khushi with the baby.
A:Khushi,look at our baby.
Khushi held the baby close to her chest.Her eyes were wet.She was very emotional.
K:Arnavji...I can't believe that finally we have become parents.This is the moment we wished for the last few years.
A:Yes Khushi...our baby.God blessed us.Though I was expecting a baby girl who looks like you it's ok as he looks like you only though he is a boy.
Khushi smiled:Arnavji...you...
He smiled.
They both held the baby together with a smile.
A:Khushi...since our life is connected to a lotus let his name be Kamal.
Khushi smiled:So sweet Arnavji...
Khushi got discharged from the hospital.Arnav took Khushi and the baby to their room.He took the framed photograph of her's with a smile
and kept it on the table.
K:You framed this photograph?
A:Yes.How can I not?You look the best in this photograph.Every morning If I wake up seeing this photograph that day will be nice.
She smiled.Jayashree came.
Jayashree asked Khushi to take rest.
J:Now you need rest at least for one month Khushi.
K:But Naniji...if i rest the household work...
J:Don't worry about that as a maid has come.Take rest.Don' even take bath on your own.
K:What?
J:I will bath you with haldi.
K:Haldi?
J:Yes.After delivery haldi bath is really good for the mothers.
Khushi smiled.
Khushi sat near Jayashree.She put haldi all over her body.
J:After bath you will shine.During pregnancy beauty may decrease.But after haldi bath you will regain your beauty.
Khushi was cheerful.
Arnav who sat there smiled looking at Khushi.
Khushi looked at him with a smile.
K:You are so sweet Naniji.Thank you so much for all these.The care you are giving me can't be forgotten.
J:I am doing this for my Khushi bitiya only.
Khushi smiled.
After bath Khushi came.Arnv also came that way.He could feel her fragrance.He breathed heavily.
They stood close to each other.Arnav lifted up her chin.
A:What Nani said is right.After haldi bath you look prettier.You areshining like a moon.
She blushed.
Then they heard Kamal's voice.
K:Kamal woke up from his sleep.
They both reached near the cradle and unknowingly they held Kamal together.Their fingers rubbed each other's.They smiled at each other.They took Kamal from the cradle and pampered him together.
Kamal's naming ceremony was conducted beautifully.Though they had decided his name already first time they announced his name to public.
Vinay:Kamal is naughty like you Arnav.
Anjali:But he looks exactly like Khushi.
Arnav looked at Khushi:That is what I wanted.A little lotus like my Khushi.
Khushi blushed.
1 1/2 years passed...
Arnav-Khushi and Kamal are happy in their own world with Jayashree who is their God mother.They lead a happy life which is made even more beautiful with Kamal's naughtyness and sweet gestures.
