"Now it's time for our first contestant, Arshi Malik as Heer and Prem Malhotra as Ranjha!"
Everyone watched as Arshi and Prem performed, but Harshita and Arnav were remembering their Heer and Ranjha performance, and for a split second, Harshita became Khushi again. At the end of the performance everyone clapped. Harshita was lost in Arnav and their memories to even notice her daughter perform, and Arnav was lost in his memories. After the performances it was the judges turn to announce the winners
"Mr. Raizada who do you think deserves the award?" asked Abhay.
"The Heer-Ranjha act was fabulous!"
"I Agree!" said Arjun.
"Then we are all in agreement! Ma'am?"
"Have you guys decided yet?"
"The winner is the Heer Ranjha act!"
"You mean Arshi Malik and Prem Mahlotra?"
"Yes."
"Okay!"
"Alright, everyone! Now please calm down it's time to
announce the winner! So the winner of the 7th annual Marquette Parent Function is' Arshi and Prem for Heer and Ranjha!"
Harshita smiled as the two kids ran on the stage and took the trophies!
"Would you guys like to say something?"
"I would!" said Arshi excitedly!
"Sure!" said the principal
She ran towards the microphone. She knew she would win but she didn't write a speech so it took her some time to come up with a good speech. She knew who she would thank, her Mom, only her Mom. "I would like to thank the only person in my life, my mom! She means everthing to me! When I was little, I used to be very short-tempered and egoistic. My mom says my father was very arrogant, egoistic, short-tempered, ruthless, and he had a win-at-all-cost attitude. My mom says I'm a lot like him but I have never met him. She changed my attitude, and even though I still want to at all costs, I would never want to hurt someone and my ego isn't a big issue for me. My mom was always there for me; when I needed a mom she was my mom, when I needed a father she was my father, but most importantly when I needed a friend to tell everything to, she was my best friend. Mom I love you and I dedicate this award to you!"
Everyone on clapped and Harshita couldn't help but cry.

Backstage:
Harshita hugged Arshi tightly and gave her a big hug! "I love you too!"
"Mommy! I won!"
She giggled,"You are just like you father, Arshi."
Arnav was leaving when he heard a familiar giggle, it was Khushi's! She was here! He wandered off and began looking for he checked everywhere but he couldn't find her.
"Khushi? Khushi?" he screamed like a madman.
"Khushi? Khushi?" Harshita heard someone screaming her name and she knew who it was!
"Hey Devi Maiyya! I need to get out of here." She whispered.
"Did you say something mom?"
"No, Arshi I think we should go now."
"But Mom I want to meet the chief guest! He's big in the fashion industry! You know I want to be a designer like you. That's why I bought my designs to show him!"
"You what?"
"I'm sorry mom. I just wanted him to know more about me!"
"ARSHI MALIK! You are a 10 year old girl, not a fashion designer! And did you know Arnav Singh Raizada was the chief guest?"
"No, mom no one knew! We were just told the guest was someone from the fashion industry who sponsored this school! And Why can't I show him my designs? Who cares if I'm only 10?!"
"Arshi there are Child Labor Laws!"
"Oh well, I don't care!" and she ran towards Arnav.
Precap: Arshi meets Arnav.
