Prologue:
" Chotte, please get married. I mean we are all so eager to play with kids and relive our childhood through your kids and here you are hell bent on not getting married. Oh, now I realize. You just don't care for our feelings. It is always your opinion and stance which matters." Anjali tried emotional blackmail to make Arnav Singh Raizada, the ruthless business tycoon to listen to her but marriage and Arnav Singh Raizada seemed to a difficult combination even in a sentence.
" You want to relive your childhood through my child, isn't it?" Arnav questioned in the typical ASR tone, sending suspicious vibes across Nani's and Anjali's body.
" Yes, Chotte. And you are adamant of not fulfilling such a earnest request of ours." Anjali looked away from him, as she faked her irritation hoping that he would get married finally.
" Fine then. I am ready to fulfill your demands, Di. But please don't try those dramatic antics on me. You know I cannot see you hurt right?" Arnav had a different plan altogether while Anjali and Nani's faces lighted up with joy and ecstasy.
" Are you ready to get married, Chotte? Really?" Nani wanted a firm confirmation from her grandson before she sets her expectations high.
" Who said I am ready to get married, Nani? I just said that I am ready to fulfill your demands." Arnav was straight to the point, much to the shock of his family. He was not ready to get married but was ready to fulfill their demand of seeing his child?
" What are you saying, Chotte? If you will not get married then how will you fulfill our demand?" Anjali held Arnav by shoulder as she looked questioningly into his emotionless eyes.
" Surrogacy, Di. Neither will I have to get married nor will your wish be incomplete," Arnav stated it in a matter-of-fact tone while Anjali stumbled back with shock with shock written all over her and Nani's face.
" What are you even saying, Chotte? Surrogacy? You cannot do this. I cannot let you do this at least in this house. Do you even know what a shameful thing you are saying? When you have an option of getting married and being blessed with a child, you want to opt for surrogacy and leave a mother pining for her child, without a reason?" Nani's eyes welled up with tears as she tried imagining the plight of the surrogate mothers.
" Nani, it is their profession, they are accustomed to do it. And there is no option of getting married for me. I don't believe in marriages and I don't think you would want to ruin a girl's life by tying her to a person who doesn't believe in marriages. Either you accept this option or you never demand this from me again, Nani and Di," Arnav's voice had finality in it, while a plan formed in their mind. They can give it a try and see if Arnav falls for the child's mother and for that they need to find a good girl, who was ready to it.
And the destiny had played its turn. It was the time Khushi Kumari Gupta to meet Arnav Singh Raizada, her soulmate whom she had been waiting for since long.
But will love penetrate the tough walls of Arnav's heart and will Khushi be ready to accept the calling of love?
