Entry 1: Forget Me Not
Writer: Unique.Sheep
It was 28th May 2021. The date she would never forget. She stared at the calendar on the wall which had this date highlighted in bright red since the last 10 years.
Everything had changed 10 years ago on this date. Everything. Her whole life had taken a 360 degree turn. Her husband had died. She had sent his murderer to jail.
Shyam Jha.
She could never forget the name of her husband’s murderer. Today was the day he would get his due. She had been waiting for the past 10 years for the day when he would be sentenced to death. She wanted to be there to see it. She would make sure he had the most painful death just like he gave to Arnav Singh Raizada.
***
Khushi stood in front of Arnav’s framed picture on her bedroom wall. She had never put a garland around it because she believed until she was breathing, Arnav would always be alive in her heart.
Payal walked behind her as she saw Khushi was ready to leave.
“You shouldn’t be going there alone Khushi. You know how dangerous he can be. Let Akash accompany you.” Khushi heard her sister say.
“He is in jail. He can’t do anything to me now. Also, he has taken my most precious possession from me, my husband. Nothing else matters to me anymore. I saw him 10 years ago with his hands covered in my husband’s blood. Let me go see him today for one last time. I finally have the courage to confront him about why he did this with me.”
Saying this, Khushi turned around and walked out of the door.
***
Khushi drove to the police station where her husband’s murderer was located for the last time, unaware that Akash and Payal were closely following her in their own car. They had become even more protective of Khushi ever since she had become a widow and refused to let her take any risks alone no matter what.
Khushi arrived at the police station and walked straight to Shyam’s jail. It had been 10 years yet she knew exactly which way to go. Her steps automatically led her there.
When she arrived, she saw Shyam being prepared for his death sentence by two bulky police officers.
Shyam’s back was towards Khushi when he heard her voice, he first couldn’t believe that Khushi would come to meet him, that too at this time--but shortly he realised why she was here--of course, she wanted to see him get tortured.
“Stop,” Khushi shouted at the police officers. “I need to talk to Shyam. Alone.”
When the officers had left and there was nobody except Khushi and Shyam, she walked towards him and studied him closely.
Shyam had aged, she realised. He had lost a lot of weight, his bones were almost poking out, and he had a lot more grey hair since the last time she had seen him. His face also had a few wrinkles.
“Khushi, please cancel this death sentence. I don’t want to die.” Shyam finally gave up and begged in front of her, sitting at her feet.
Khushi was taken aback by his sudden move. She expected anything unpredictable from Shyam, but not this.
“Why would I? YOU KILLED ARNAV! YOU NEED TO DIE!” she cried.
Shyam looked at Khushi suddenly as if something had registered in his mind.
“No, no, Khushi. Arnav is not dead. He is alive. I would’ve told you this before, but you never came.”
Khushi stared back at him, fury in her eyes now.
“STOP LYING! YOU KILLED HIM! WHY?!?!?!”
“Arnav is alive,” Shyam protested. “I can tell you where he is. Go and bring him back. But only if you get me freed from here. I will go far away from your life. Just let me live.”
Khushi was in a dilemma whether she should trust him again. She was lost in her own confusion and didn’t notice when Akash and Payal came up to them.
“What proof do you have that bhai is alive?” Akash questioned Shyam.
Shyam started looking through his things until he found what he was looking for. He took out a scrunched up piece of paper and handed it to Khushi.
Khushi opened the paper and was shocked by what she saw.
“He’s alive! My Arnav is alive!” Khushi whimpered, handing the paper to Payal with trembling hands.
Payal looked at the paper as tears soaked her face. She saw Khushi’s drawing of a forget me not with her name KHUSHI printed underneath it in bold letters. She knew that this was Arnav’s favourite drawing by Khushi and he always used to keep it in his wallet. She flipped it over to see a telephone number written on it.
Payal turned back towards Shyam. “Call this number and make us hear Arnav.”
Shyam complied as he took Payal’s phone from her hand and started dialling the number.
“Hello.” A grumpy voice answered the phone.
“Bring Arnav on the line!” Shyam ordered his man.
There was a pause, and after a while some coughing was heard as Shyam put the phone on speaker.
Shyam tried his best to coax Arnav into speaking but there was no response on the other line.
“Speak up dammit!” Shyam was giving up.
No response.
Khushi took the phone from his hand and put it close to her ear. She could hear deep breathing on the other end. The breathing was so familiar. Every breath she heard, it felt like it was calling for her.
“Arnav?” she whispered.
The breathing grew louder and faster every time she spoke his name in her silky voice. “Arnav? Arnav?”
“Khushi!” He finally spoke and her heart did a somersault in the air. Two hearts beating in one rhythm despite being miles away.
Payal gently took the phone from Khushi’s hand and handed it to Akash, as Khushi was getting out of her own control. Khushi fell down to the floor with her face in her palms as Payal comforted her.
“You want to live, Shyam? Fine! We will set you free once you set Arnav free. Bring him back to us right now.” Akash seethed.
Shyam agreed to all his conditions without a second thought. He had always been waiting for this opportunity to be freed from this imprisonment. He was ready to do anything even if that meant making his worst nightmare come true and reuniting Khushi with Arnav.
He took the phone back from Akash which was still on speaker and instructed his man to send his location and let Arnav go with Akash.
Payal helped Khushi to the car as Akash confirmed the location from Shyam and promised to come back once Arnav was with them safely.
“Arnav has been kept in Bangalore. I am taking the flight to get there, you go home with Khushi in her car. I am leaving for the airport.” Akash spoke to Payal in a monotone. He had no time to waste and wanted to reach Arnav as soon as possible. “I will be back with Arnav by tonight.”
Khushi tried to protest, but found no strength within her to argue. She wanted to go to Arnav, but she trusted Akash. She knew Akash would bring Arnav back and that faith was enough for her.
***
It was past midnight and everyone had gone to sleep including Payal, who was sleeping in Khushi’s room tonight. She had told Khushi to get some sleep as Akash and Arnav would probably reach in the morning, but how could she? How could Khushi sleep knowing that Arnav was coming to meet her? How could she sleep knowing that Shyam was going to be freed today? Akash had requested the officers to delay Shyam’s death sentence and keep him under their supervision until he came back, and they had reluctantly agreed after some fussing when Akash had convinced them that Shyam may not have murdered Arnav, and he was going to bring evidence.
Khushi heard the car parking outside which brought her out of her reverie with a jolt. She stood up and ran to the window as her heart leaped up to her throat, threatening to come out.
She saw Akash open the passenger seat door and her dishevelled husband walk out of the car with Akash’s assistance; his face covered with bruises and his legs wobbling like jelly, as if they had no strength of their own. His beard covered his neck as if he hadn’t shaved since months.
Khushi covered her mouth, but still was not able to control the moan of agony and helplessness which came out of her throat seeing her husband in such shape. Any pity she was feeling for Shyam after meeting him that evening all vanished into thin air.
Hearing her helpless cries, Payal woke up startled and walked towards the window. It didn’t take long to figure out what had disturbed Khushi to no end.
As if hearing Khushi’s silent plea, Arnav automatically looked up towards her, meeting her gaze. For one moment, he forgot all the pain of the past 10 years as he cried tears of joy of finally seeing his wife again.
Khushi was able to hold on no longer as she ran down the stairs bare feet in her pajamas, two steps at a time, towards the driveway. She didn’t even acknowledge when the stairs had ended and she ran straight into her husband’s arms. Unable to control her weight on him, Arnav fell backwards with Khushi falling next to him.
Payal and Akash smiled seeing these lovebirds back together again after many years and decided to leave them alone, walking hand in hand to their own bedroom.
Khushi helped Arnav towards their bedroom as they spent the rest of the night in each other’s arms, whispering sweet nothings and how they spent the last 10 years without each other.
***
The time had come for Shyam to be hanged to death.
He was begging the officers to spare him as he hadn’t murdered Arnav.
“Stop,” Khushi ordered, walking towards the cell. “I have forgiven him. I am here to set him free. My Arnav is alive and I am here to pledge that Shyam did not murder him.”
“We would need Arnav’s statement before letting Shyam go.” The officer told her.
Arnav walked in with Akash and Payal, smirking at Shyam. “I am ready to give my statement.”
***
Arnav sat across from the officer and began to narrate what had happened.
Shyam had kept Arnav locked in a basement for 10 years to keep him away from Khushi. He had ordered his men to take care of him, give him food and keep him alive but not let him contact the outside world. He had lied to everyone that he had killed Arnav, but the truth was that he never intended to kill Arnav-his punishment was more severe than that. He wanted to torture Arnav and make him live a life more painful than death. This was his revenge on Arnav for taking Khushi from him. Every time Arnav tried to escape, Shyam’s men were ordered to beat him.
Khushi, who was standing behind Arnav, listened to his story with hateful tears spreading across her face. Hate for Shyam. She thought that she could never hate anyone more than she hated Shyam after learning about Arnav’s murder, but with every passing moment, her hate was growing stronger and stronger.
After Shyam had been released, Khushi insisted that they take Shyam home with them, little did they know that Khushi had her own plans. She felt Shyam was her and Arnav’s criminal and only they should have the right to punish him.
Payal and Akash tried to stop her but to no avail. When Khushi made a decision, she didn’t listen to anyone.
She argued that she will take Arnav and Shyam in her own car while Akash and Payal go home. Akash and Payal reluctantly agreed. They understood that Arnav and Khushi were there to protect each other this time, and when they were together, they didn’t need anyone else.
The drive was quiet. Khushi didn’t speak a word and neither did Shyam. Shyam was just relieved to finally be out in the open air. He could give up anything for this moment. “To hell with Khushi and Arnav!” he thought.
Khushi suddenly stopped at a deserted road and offered Arnav a walk in the park with her. Arnav could never refuse his wife who he had gotten back after so many years. He could do anything for her. He would walk to the moon and back for her.
She gently held his waist and helped him out of the car. They walked arm in arm while Shyam waited in the car for them.
Arnav suddenly heard a blast and turned around with Khushi to see the car in flames and Shyam screaming inside it.
“This was my revenge for you,” Khushi smiled at him, leaving Arnav astonished. He never knew his Khushi could become so ruthless to take someone’s life.
“I had to do it,” Khushi explained as if understanding Arnav’s unspoken words. “He would have never let us live in peace and so I had to--”
“Ssshhhh, I don’t need to hear how you did it. Let this be our new beginning. Just me and you.”
And with that Arnav sealed his lips with Khushi’s pouted ones.
Entry 2: 10 years and counting…
Writer: m4manju
He looked at the screen of his phone which was blinking and flashing a reminder. “7 days to go” it read. It was not a reminder of any upcoming business meet nor any event which he was invited to attend but it was something personal. A change that happened with the mighty ASR over last decade, he now gave utmost importance to the events in his personal life as much as to his professional life, if not more. All thanks to a lady who walked into his life exactly a decade ago! 10 years since meeting her first, 9 years since being blissfully married to her and having 3 kids together, he still felt like he had met her just yesterday. That was the charisma of his lady love, his wife and his better-nay-best half, Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada! Uttering it, her name woven together with his, gave him some sort of high, every single freaking time! Over the years, he had made this habit of marking the calendar for all important dates all year around. After daring to forget initial 3 wedding anniversaries, he swore not to give Her Highness any chance to complain. So he make calendar entries of ALL their special days, except her birthday and his babies’ birthdays of course. He would NEVER forget those days until his dying breath and wont ever need a reminder for those 3 dates! And the upcoming event was, 10th anniversary when his life was blessed with ‘Khushi’, when someone up in the skies blessed him with her, for God-knows-what good deed he did to deserve her!
He still remembered their 3rd wedding anniversary, 28th September 2015! The day when he dared to forget his wedding anniversary, again. But the way that evening turned out to be, he still gets goosebumps remembering it. An intimate celebration between just the two of them followed by Khushi’s confession that they indeed were going to have a baby soon, as Akash had hinted earlier. Apparently, Khushi had confided in her jiji when she missed her period and that led to Payal and Akash knowing about their ‘good news’ even before she told him. That was not a big deal though, as much as getting pregnant just a month after deciding to try to conceive was. They had decided to start trying for a baby, but he thought it will take a while before that actually happened. After all they recently went off the birth control. But apparently ,they were ‘very good’ at ‘trying’.
Their firstborn, their son, Kavish was born on one rainy morning in June 2016. Just like the monsoon season, which brings with it unlimited joy, their son did bring with him happiness in abundance. He was one happy child, he still is! At tender age of 5, his 5th birthday being 2 weeks from today, another event for which he did not need a calendar reminder ever, his son was a very understanding little person one could ever meet. And credit goes to their joint family for that. When Kavish was born, the Raizada house was already abuzz with giggles and wailings of Payal and Akash’s 6-month-old daughter, Piya. But Kavish Singh Raizada has his own charm! No wonder the media was crazy about their eldest! That was until his twin daughters arrived to give a tough competition to their ‘bhaiyya’! The media was obsessed with Raizada kids, much to Arnav and khushi's dismay.
Arnav still chuckles remembering the days prior to Kavish’s naming ceremony. So as per tradition, Anjali, being baby’s aunt was supposed to choose a name. But Anjali had asked them if they had any name in mind and she would just announce the same. Khushi was already calling him ‘chikku’, a fruit she craved during her pregnancy and ate in abundant, surging her sugar levels dangerously high, while his nani and Khushi’s buaji were calling his son ‘laddu gopal’. Only he was the one who did not have a nickname for the little guy yet. So, coming to have areal name, they were certain that they did not want anything that started with an A, since having another ASR was not something they fancied that time. Arnav had a name in mind but that was for a baby girl, for he was certain they were having a girl. But ‘mr. happy face’ proved him wrong and certainly could not be named Kavya as Arnav thought! He had chosen that name because it had K for Khushi and A for Arnav! But obviously that name was redundant now. So, after a few brainstorming sessions Anjali finally came up with a perfect name, Kavish! It also had K for Khushi, A for Arnav and wish/vish which made it Kavish, and it had a nice meaning too – ‘kind of poets’!
Fast forward another 3 years, everyone started pestering them with questions on when they were planning another child. He used to roll his eyes at that while his wife would blush a shade of crimson. But the questions never stopped. Clearly the world loved to see them make beautiful babies. So much for not interfering in a couple’s private life! He used to just smile at those questions, for he knew that, ‘that’ would never happen! He was way too careful to never get Khushi pregnant again, because one time was enough to see her go through a horrible pain called labor! Over the years he was extra careful and used to keep a track of her cycle, days to avoid getting close to her, no matter how tempting it was. And if her period was even a day or 2 late, he was the one freaking out more than his wife! Those were times when Khushi used to swear by his favorite term, ‘what the’! but he cared a damn!. He would just pray for her ‘time of the month’ aka ‘aunt flow’ to start already!
His faith was another thing that changed over these years. It all started when Khushi was being wheeled inside the OT during Kavish’s birth, her cries gave him a panic attack and he automatically dashed to the Ganesha idol inside the hospital, where luckily there was a small idol of Devi Maiyya too. He realized that he was not able to write his destiny all the time after all. And so, he prayed and prayed. And finally, a night of cries, patience and prayers later, they were blessed with their son. If Kavish’s birth made him pray to Devi Maiyya for the safety of his wife and their child, Khushi’s next pregnancy made him keep ‘mannat’ for the wellbeing of his adamant wife who insisted on going ahead with this pregnancy even after knowing it was risky, given hear weak health and anemic condition! And that made him, the ASR, a staunch devotee of Khushi’s favorite deity. Though he was against them having another child and took all measures to never let it happen, but when it happened nevertheless, Khushi refused to terminate the pregnancy. He was scared for her life would have been an understatement. He tried everything, cajoling her, talking to her, begging her, blackmailing her even but she did not budge! ‘My babies won’t harm me’ she said in protest every time. So after strict instructions to take bed rest and assurance from her doctor that she was safe and it was not as life threatening to carry the babies to full term as he was making it sound like, he gave in. And finally at the end of all the tension, all the apprehensions, they got beautiful fruits of their pain and patience. How could he stay mad, when her stubbornness gave him the precious bundles of joy, his twin daughters, Arohi (aka Aru) and Shreeya (aka Shree/Pari). Arohi again was a combination of their names, Arnav and Khushi, while the name Shreeya was chosen by his nani and di, which is a name of Goddess and brought luck as they believed. The nicknames were again given by Khushi and him, they reserved those rights!
20th January 2020, the day when he was blessed with his twin daughters! 5 painful hours and his numerous prayers later, the doctors informed him that he was blessed with 2 daughters and his wife was doing well, though under sedatives. Also, one of the babies, Pari, was diagnosed with weak lungs so had to be kept under observation in NICU. He still felt flinched remembering how his heart skipped a bit at that, how sometime later when Khushi was handed with only 1 baby, she asked about the other one and how they were allowed to look at their other baby only through the glass door. Khushi was inconsolable those 3 days until they were handed their other baby. Finally, when they came home with both the babies, nani arranged a big pooja to ward off any evil and bless the new mother and kids. Though Khushi could not sit through the entire pooja time as she was still weak and had to nurse the babies time to time, Arnav happily sat for the pooja, holding Kavish in his lap. He was eternally grateful to the deities for his family and keeping Khushi and his kids safe, he would have done anything for that right now, sitting through a pooja was a small deal.
Their 8th wedding anniversary in Sept 2020, was a blissful celebration with his family, his 4-year-old son and 7-month-old daughters. Due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, he was working from home, just like most of the world and all of AR staff. He was thankful for this blessing in disguise, as this made him spend maximum time with Aru and Shree, the time he wished he could have spent with Kavish too. No matter how much he tried, when Kavish was a baby, some of his professional commitments kept him away from them for days at times. And even if Khushi understood his dilemma and did not complain much, he knew she missed him, as did he. Before the birth of his son, he never spent a day without Khushi, he always took her with him to any domestic or international travels. But since the time their eldest was born, that dynamic changed. It was not always easy to travel with an infant at toe, though they still tried to do that as much as they could.
Talking about their babies, if Kavish was a mamma’s boy and also resembled Khushi, except his eyes which was a direct copy of Arnav’s eyes, Aru was a daddy’s girl nature-wise and otherwise. Same face cut, same smile, same sharpness and same temper! Arohi was a true ‘junior ASR’ amongst his 3 kids! She kept Arnav and Khushi on toes for almost a year and if not given the attention when she asked, whole Shantivan used to get shaken with her loud cries. It would then be a task for them to calm her down. Shreeya on the other hand was a blessing, the calmest of all 3 kids, she was a true angel, a pari as he nicknamed her. They always found it cute how Kavish and Aru mostly resembled one of them, but Shree aka Pari was a perfect combination of both of them, a beautiful blend. She was the calmest baby one would have ever seen. Partly due to her weak health since birth and partly because Aru stole most of the attention. Given that she was very weak when she was born, only her mother was allowed to handle her for almost 2 months to avoid any infections. How Arnav used to crave to hold his other daughter! It was then he understood the cliché, ‘parents love all their kids equally, no matter how many’. He loved all 3 of them with so much passion that he was scared it would make his heart burst. When he fell in love with Khushi, the concept of love was still alien to him. He thought it was a fake and overrated emotion. Boy, was he wrong! Fast forward 10 years, love for him was synonym with his wife Khushi and their 3 babies! Pure unadulterated love where there was no trace of fakeness!
“Dad-a” he felt a tap on his cheek and looked at the person demanding his attention, his now 1.5-year-old daughter, Aru. He didn’t realize when his train of thought went on for so long that Aru completed her nap and was now up. Thankfully Pari was still asleep. Arnav lifted her and stepped outside of the girls’ room, so his other daughter still completed her afternoon nap while his wife and son were busy completing some schoolwork. His son, though attending school online, was a sharp boy but still needed his mamma to help him ensure his work was complete.
The week went by quickly and soon it was ‘the-day’, 10th anniversary of the first time their paths crossed. If not for the ongoing pandemic, Arnav would have planned a gate away for them or at least a fancy dinner at Khushi’s (and Kavish’s) favorite five-star diner. But the ongoing situation restricted that. That did not mean he did not plan anything though because he surely did. A 7-course dinner at home with the help of Payal and naniji, and her favorite red rose, he made sure his wife felt every bit special. And sure, she did, if going by the way she decorated their bedroom with candles and rose petals while he was reading a bed time story to Kavish, and the night that followed with the passionate love they made to commemorate the day! Whoever said love fades away with time surely did not meet Arnav and Khushi, because for them, love only multiplied with time and was going on in infinite loop! 
Entry 3: Moment to Celebrate
Writer: PriyaArshiSarun
RM at breakfast table
Khushi and payal arranging breakfast on table. One by one all members comes and seated their respective chair. Anjali saw there are many dishes on table so she asks payal
"Payal ji, special breakfast kis khushi mein" (In what joy is the special breakfast? Payal ji)
"Pata nahi di aaj ka breakfast khushi ne banaya hai" said payal serving the food. (Don't know di today breakfast is made by khushi)
"Khushi ji aaj koi special day hai kya jo aapne special breakfast banaya hai" asked Anjali smiling raised eyebrows. (Khushi ji today is there any special day that you have made special breakfast )
"Yes di there is special day today" reply khushi happily.
"Akash, aaj ki kya taareekh hai" ask Anjali turning to ward Akash who also thinking about what special day is today. (What is the date today Akash)
"Di, 6 June" reply Akash coming back from thought.
"6 June hmm, na aaj kisi ka birthday hai na hi kisi ki marriage Anniversary to fir konsa special day hai aaj" mumbled Anjali thinking about 6 June. (6 June hmm, Neither today is anyone's birthday nor anyone's marriage anniversary, then what is special day today?)
"Tanik hum ka bhi batiya do konsa special din hai aaj phati Sari, hello hi bye bye" said Manorama. (tell me also what is the special day today Phati Sari, hello hi bye bye)
"Yes, yes khushiji hame bhi pata do" said NK (Yes, yes Khushi ji let us impress too)
"NK bhai pata do nahi bata do" said Akash correcting nk Hindi word and other members laughing at nk Hindi. (NK bhai not impress too it's tell too)
"Ya that's, pata do bata do same same goss" said NK flipping his hand.
"Kahe itane utavle hove jay rhe ho? Khushi bitiya bata degi tanik usko saas to lene do sab chadhe hi ja rhe ho us par." Said Manohar who observe everyone asking questions non-stop. (why are you having so eager? Khushi bitiya will tell you let her breathe, all of you are going to climb on her)
"Ha sab saint hoi jao aur khushi bitiya aap bataiye" Ordered Nani making everyone silence. (Everyone keep silence and khushi bitiya you tell)
"Wo nani... " Before khushi replied they heard husky voice.
"Main bataata hoon" there come Arnav and seated his chair "but after breakfast." (I tell)
"Chhote abhi batao na" said Anjali excited. (Chhote tell us now)
"Di mene kaha na, aap log pahile ache se breakfast kr lo fir bataata hoon." Said Arnav looking at everyone and Everyone nodded. (Di I said na, you people have a breakfast at first, then I'll tell you)
******************************
Finishing their breakfast all settle down in living room waiting for Arnav to start.
"So now chhote tell us what is special day today" said Anjali.
Taking deep breath Arnav start telling glancing khushi "Aaj se 10 saal pahile Ek 'Hate Love Story' suru hue jisme nafrat thi itni ki wo pass na aa sakhe, jisme mohabbat thi itni ki wo door na ja sakhe. Wo samajh nahin pa rhe the ki ye sab kya ho rha hai, iss feeling ko or 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' aur 'Beauty and Beast Story' jaha beauty ne beast ko aapne prince charming mein badal diya." By stating Arnav khushi lost in their first met after that how their life turn up and down like roller coaster. They come back from memory land hearing NK loud voice. (A 'Hate Love Story' started 10 years from today, in which there was so much hatred that they could not come close, in which there was love so much that they could not go away. They could not understand what all this was happening, this feeling and 'What Naam Should Give To This Love' And 'Beauty and Best Story' where Beauty turned Beast into her Prince Charming.)
"Beauty and Beast story, ye story mene dekhi hai but mujhe nahi pata tha ki ye 10 Years ago start hue thi" said Nk in confuse. (Beauty and Beast story, I have seen this story but I did not know that it started 10 years ago)
"NK bhai jo aapne Beauty and Beast ki story dekhi hai ye wo story nahi hai, ye to aapne ghar ki Beauty and Beast ki story hai" said Anjali smiling. (NK bhai you have seen the story of Beauty and Beast this is not that story, This is the our house story of Beauty and Beast)
"Aapni ghar ki story, I didn't understand" said Nk not understanding what is Anjali telling. (Our house story, I didn't understand)
"I will explain you NK bhai" said Anjali and star explaining NK "aapne ghar ki Beauty means Khushi ji aur beast & Prince charming means Chhote. So basically aapne ghar ki Beauty and Beast ki story chhote aur khushiji ki hai. Ab samajhe aap". (Our house beauty Means Khushi ji and Beast & Prince Charming Means Chhote. So basically our house story of Beauty and Beast is chhote and khushiji story. Now you understand)
"Ab samajha main. Nannav aur khushiji ki story ko suru huye 10 saal ho gaye but nannav ne kaha tha ki unki story sheesh mahal suru hue thi to iska matlab nannav aur khushiji ko first time sheesh mahal mein mile huye 10 saal ho gaye. Wow that great." Said NK understanding. ( Now I understand. It has been 10 years since Nannav and khushiji story started but Nannav had said that their story was started at the Sheesh Mahal, so it means that it has been 10 years since Nannav and Khushi ji met in the first time Sheesh Mahal. Wow that great.)
"Ya that is exactly. Aaj wohi special din hai jab 10 saal pahile main khushi se mila tha and that special moment jab khushi mere bahome giri thi." Said Arnav. ( Ya that is exactly. Today is the special day when I met Khushi 10 years ago and that special moment when khushi fell in my arms)
"It's Moment to Celebrate, kya kahate ho aap sab is din ko hame celebrate karna chahiye ya nahi." Said Akash (It's Moment to Celebrate, What do you all say we should celebrate this day or not)
"Bilkul Akash ji hum jaroor celebrate krege but different way se to iske liye kuch idea soch jaldi." Said Payal supporting Akash. (Of course Akash ji, we will definitely celebrate but in different way, so think of some ideas for it soon)
Everyone thinking about idea to celebrate this day. After sometime later NK speak.
"Guys I got some idea." Said Nk taking all the people attention towards his.
"Hello hi bye bye, konsa idea NK Babuwa" said Manorama. ( Hello hi bye bye, which idea NK Babuwa)
"Kyu na hum wo moment re-create kre jab nannav aur khushi ji pahili baar mile the i.e fashion show wala scene jaha khushi ji nannav k bahome land hue thi." Said NK telling his idea. (Why don't we re-create the moment when Nannav and Khushi ji met for the first time? A fashion show scene where Khushi ji landed in Nannav arms)
"What is the idea NK bhai." Said Anjali immediately.
" What? bilkul nahi." Said khushi shocked. (What? No way)
"Pr kyu nahi khushi ji, wase bhi sab ne wo telecast dekha tha fir mene hi nahi dekha mujhe bhi dekhna hai please khushi ji maan jayena" said NK making puppy eyes face. (Why not khushi ji, Anyway everyone had seen that telecast, I only did not see it, I have to see it too, please khushi ji agree to it.)
