Hum Saath Saath Hain Part 8
As in the film HSSH, this ss was also only filled with love,romance,happiness,joy and fun till now.Now the real story starts with unexpected twists. 
Rishab announced:I think it's time for me take rest.I worked a lot.Let me have rest.So i have decided to hand over the position of the managing director to my eldest son Akash .
Akash was emotional:you deserve it beta.
Rishab hugged him.Arnav and NK hugged him.
Harshwardhan congratulated Akash by shaking his hand:Congrats beta.You are the best person to sit on this chair.I am very happy for you.
Akash smiled:Thank you Uncle.
Everyone was very happy.But Manorama's face became dull.
She told Manohar:Hello hi bye bye...What is this?Akash as the managing director?Then what will happen to NK and our daughter Lavanya?
Manohar:What are you planning to say Manorama?
Mano:You are Rishabji's close friend.You please make him understand that what he is doing is not right.NK and Arnav should get justice.Why does Rishabji loving Akash more than his other 2 sons?
Manohar:Just stop it Manorama.What Rishab did is right.Akash is the most deserving one for this position as he is more mature and responsible than others.And Rishab loves all his children equally.But your foolish eyes can't see it.
Manorama got irritated:Hello hi bye bye.I said the truth.But you can't understand that.
Manohar:Just shut up your mouth.
Manorama was really irritated.
Arnav was packing his bags as he has to leave for Hyderabad for an important meeting.He has to leave early morning.It was late night.Suddenly he got a message.It was from Khushi.
"Please come to the backyard now".
Arn:At night?
He went there.Khushi was waiting for him.
Arn:Khushi...
She ran into his arms.
K:Arnav...for one week you won't be here.I will miss you.
He caressed her.
A:Khushi...I am also upset.But trust me..I will call you daily and we will have video chats too.So we will be together only.
She smiled slightly.
K:Before you go I want to give you something.
Arn:What?
She blushed:A romantic surprise.
He smiled.
She led him to her room which was decorated with lit candles.He was surprised.
He held her closer:It was really a romantic surprise Khushi.For one week this romantic moment will be enough for me to pass time.
She blushed.
A:Khushi,I need to go back as my flight is in the early morning.
She became upset.
A:Bye.
He brushed his lips against her cheek.
She was stunned.Then she blushed.He went out.
The next morning Arnav left.
Anjali:Shyam...do ypu know the speciality of this day?
Shyam:No.
Anj:Today is our first date anniversary.You forgot that?How could you forget that Shyam?Leave it.I don't want to talk to you.
With a smile suddenly Shyam gave her a gift:I have not forgotten it Anji.
She was surprised.
Anj:So you were fooling me?Anyways I forgive you for fooling me as you gave me a gift.What is there in this box?
Shy:Open it.
She opened it.It was a beautiful ring.
Anj:So beautiful.
Shyam took it and slipped onto her finger.
Shy:Get ready grandly.We will go on a dinner date to celebrate.
Anjali was excited:Sure.
Manorama visited Prerna.
M:Prerna,did Rishabji discuss with you before declaring Akash as the managing director of the companies?
P:Yes.
M:Hello hi bye bye.Still you did'nt object it?
P:What do you mean Manorama?Why should I object?Akash deserves it.
M:But Arnav and NK also deserve it equally.But Rishabji is giving everything to Akash ignoring his other children.
P:What are you saying Manorama?No one is ignoring anyone.For us all our children are equal.
M:For you all children are equal.You love you stepson Akash as your own son.But step son is always a step son.Don't forget that.
P:Manorama!
M:I am telling the truth Prerna.Reality can't be changed.How do you know that your step son Akash loves you the way you love him?
P:Enough Manorama...I know Akash very well.
M:We can't explore anyone's mind Prerna.What if after taking over the position Akash will throw out you and your children out?
P:Stop it Manorama.Akash won't do that.He loves us a lot.He risked his own health to save his brothers.
M:That was when he was small.But now he is big and ambitious.Beware Prerna.Akash will betray his brothers and Arnav and NK will be penniless.
P:Nothing like that will happen.
M:Now a days real brothers are fighting with each other over property.Then you can guess how a step brother like Akash will do to his brothers.
P:I told you...my Akash won't do that.
M:Akash is not yours Prerna.He is just your step son.Always remember that.
P:Blood wise he is not my son.But heart wise he is my dearest son.
M:Hello hi bye bye..you are too sentimental.Can you point out one family where such issues do not exist?Then how can you be over confident about your family unity?
P:We have brought up our children like that.They know the value of relationships.
M:Don't be over confident Prerna.It will only destroy your own children's happiness.Think well about what I said.You will understand what I meant.
Manorama left.Prerna was upset.
Anjali wore a grand saree and jewellery to go on date.
Anj:Shall we go?
Shy:Anji...shall we cancel our date?
Anj:What?
Shy:We will go some other day.
Anj:Today is our date anniversary and you are telling that our date can be postponed?Why Shyam?
Shy:I have no mood today.
Anj:Why you don't have any mood?
Shy:I don't know.I don't feel like going on a date.
Anj:What a silly reason you are giving?You only asked me to dress up grandly and now you are telling me to cancel the date?Ok..your wish.We won't go.I will change.
Anjali gave an angry face.
Shy:No need Anji.I was just fooling you.We will go on date.
She was surprised:Again you fooled me?Anyways I forgive you as you are taking me on a wonderful date.
They smiled.
Anj:I will take my bag and come.
Anjali went inside.Shyam's face became dull.
He said in his mind:Sorry Anjali...I am fooling you again and again.
Shyam took her to a star hotel for dinner.
Prerna was looking very upset.Rishab noticed it:Prerna,why are you looking upset?
P:I was thinking of Akash being the managing director of the companies.I fear whether Akash will betray Arnav,Anjali and Nandu(NK's pet name) when he gets the power.
Rishab was shocked:Prerna,do you think Akash will do that?You know him very well.
P:But as a mother I will be always tensed about my children.I don't want anything bad to happen to my children.
Rish:What are you trying to say Prerna?Are you insecure with Akash becoming the managing director?
P:Yes,I don't want him to be the managing director.
Rishab was shocked:I can't believe your change Prerna.Suddenly how did you change?
P:Because now I have come to reality.I am not in a dream world anymore.So Akash should not be given that position.
Suddenly they saw NK,Akash and Payal at the door.Rishab and Prerna found it difficult to face them.
