''I've called Di to watch Anisa for a while'' ''why?'' ''Come with me and you'll find out'' As Arnav and Khushi left the room Anjali came to watch the baby. Arnav led Khushi back to the rooftop. ''Arnav ji, what are we doing here again?'' Arnav opened the door revealing a candle light dinner at the centre of the roof, still beautifully decorated but without the lights this time and instead candles. khushi was beguiled as she gaped at the beautiful scenery. ''We didn't actually complete what i brought you up here for before; we kind of went off to another subject... Um...shall we?'' Arnav gave out his hand and Khushi involentarily took it with a shy smile on her face. Arnav took her to the table and pulled out her chair, for her to sit down. After Arnav took his seat, he revealed the food and said ''Um-I... cooked this food with Hari Prakash's help in the afternoon...I ordered him to heat it up for right now. Let me know what you think?'' Khushi couldn't control the shock on her face. Arnav fed Khushi a spoon of the food and waited for her response. ''Well...?'' Khushi's eyes widened ''Arnav ji, this tastes delicious! You seriously cooked this???'' Arnav looked down at the table and couldn't help his laughter ''Ahahahaha!!'' Khushi nudged Arnav on his arm ''Arnav ji! You didn't cook this!'' ''No, i didn't. I ordered it from a top restaurant like 4 hours away. They make the best food, i must say. I was going to take you there but the situation was inconvenient and i knew i couldn't get you to agree to go so...'' ''Arnav ji, i forgave you already. You don't need to do all this'' ''I know but i still want to...you deserve it'' ''Arnav ji...'' ''Khushi just enjoy it. Please?'' Khushi frowned but consented.
After hours of talking, sharing and laughing, Arnav stood up and said ''Now are you ready for the real surprise?'' ''You mean there's more?'' ''Okay, normally i wouldn't do this...infact, i don't do this at all...But i'm only doing this for you'' Khushi looked at him confused ''Okay?'' Arnav cleared his throat and was about to begin before he quickly said ''-don't laugh'' ''Okay?'' Khushi was getting nervous. Arnav looked left to right over his shoulders making sure nobody was there. ''Uh-hum... Tere ishq mein dooba rahe din raat yoon hi sada
...''
Khushi widened her eyes in utter surprise with a big smile as Arnav begun to sing 'Tuhi Mera'. Khushi couldn't believe it; Arnav Singh Raizada was singing... and that too for her. She found it adorable and found herself overwhelmed by the increased love she had for him. ''Tuhi mera, mera, mera
Tuhi mera, mera, mera.''
Arnav finished with the song and looked at her awkwardly and Khushi got up from her chair and ran to him throwing her arms around him ''that was beautiful!'' Arnav smiled before he heard her silently cry over his shoulders. ''Khushi, what's wrong? Why are you crying?...Oh no, what did i do? Khushi, i'm so sorry, i didn't mean to i swear.'' Arnav pulled back to see Khushi and Khushi immediately shook her head saying ''Neh Arnav ji, esse kuch neh. You didn't do anything wrong...It's just... I just...I can't believe it...'' Khushi was sniffing as she said ''After all this time, you've finally accepted me, and i've finally got everything i'll ever want and need right infront of me. It's too good to be true...I'm sooo happy, i can't begin to explain Arnav ji...This is all i want, i don't want anything to go wrong'' Arnav wiped her tears and swelled up, looking at her softly ''Yes Khushi, we finally made it...Nothing wrong can happen now'' Arnav hugged her with one arm wrapped around her and the other on her head as it rested on his chest ''We made it'' ''Yes Arnav ji, we made it''
Arnav and Khushi returned to their room and Anjali was sat next to the cot reading a book. ''Oh, guys you're back'' ''She hasn't been any trouble has she?'' ''Neh Khushi ji, she's been an angel- she is my niece afterall'' Anjali winked with a grin on her face. ''Come Di, i'll walk you down. I need to refill the baby's milk bottle'' Khushi quickly responded ''Neh Arnav ji, you don't need to do that. Don't worry about it, i'll go.'' ''Khushi, i want to. I've got to learn how all of this works, you know? Just look after Anisa, i won't be long'' Arnav sweetly smiled at Khushi, making her blush.
As Arnav and Anjali made their way down to the kitchen Anjali asked ''What happened Chote? You look amazingly happy. I don't think i've seen you like this before, ever.'' Arnav chuckled and took a long pause before he said ''Di, i'm in love... I love Khushi'' Arnav said this as if in realisation. Anjali gazed at him almost surprised ''Wow Chote... I would've never expected those words to come out of your mouth''. Anjali, inbetween their conversation, was showing Arnav how to make and heat up the milk. ''Lekhin Chote...What's brought this on all of a sudden?'' ''I... I...'' Arnav was almost day dreaming inbetween his words. ''Chote please tell me Khushi ji knows this'' ''Ofcourse Di!... I told her tonight'' Anjali was shocked and amused with Arnav's innocent reply ''What?!'' ''what?'' ''Chote you've been married to this woman for about a year now, you've got a beautiful child together and you only told her you love her today?'' Arnav listened, understanding Anjali's point. Anjali let out a deep breath ''...well?...What did she say?'' Arnav's smile immediately shot up wide and his eye's sparkled ''She loves me. She said she loves me too'' Anjali could see the joy in Arnav's face and couldn't help but smile at this newly reformed Arnav, who's in love and over the moon. ''Di, I've got an amazing wife and the most beautiful child with her...I'm so happy Di, what more could a man want in life?'' Arnav brought a tear to Anjali's eye and Anjali handed the bottle to him saying ''I'm so proud of you Chote...If someone told me a year ago that YOU, my angry little brother, would be in this condition and position today, i would never have believed them.'' Arnav and Anjali chuckled at the thought.
After hours of talking, sharing and laughing, Arnav stood up and said ''Now are you ready for the real surprise?'' ''You mean there's more?''

Arnav and Anjali chuckled at the thought.
Arnav made his way back to the bedroom finding Khushi gazing over the cot at the baby. Arnav gently put the bottle down on the table and crept up behind Khushi, wrapping his arms around her belly. ''How are my angels doing?'' Khushi smiled as she turned around, still in his hold ''Baby angel is sleeping sweet and soundly, i could watch her all night... This angel was beginning to miss you'' ''Was she now?'' Khushi nodded then let out a giggle. ''Khushi...I'm sorry it took so long for me to tell you i love you...I promise from now onwards, a day won't go by that i won't tell you i love you. I want you to never forget it'' ''Arnav ji, i could never forget because i love you too...so much'' Arnav smiled then planted a soft kiss on Khushi's cheek before letting go. Khushi awkwardly asked ''Um-uh...Why don't you... sleep on the bed? With me. If you want to.'' Arnav turned his head looking at Khushi almost surprised, then smiled at her words. ''Well it is my bed too'' Khushi narrowed her eyes at him and playfully replied ''-that i can kick you out of any time i please''. Arnav and Khushi laughed as they slipped into bed to sleep as a couple for the first time. Arnav put his arm around Khushi's waist as they drifted off to sleep. Their peace came to a halt at 3:00am when the baby screamed out crying. ''What the'' ''Oh the baby's up again'' Arnav turned the lights on still confused. ''I don't understand, why is she crying? Why is she awake at this time of night?'' Khushi took Anisa into her arms and gently rocked her up and down. ''She does this almost every night, nothing new. You go back to sleep, don't worry i'll handle her'' ''What do you mean she does this every night? How come i've never come to know?'' ''Well she used to sleep in my arms, so as soon as she'd begun to weep i'd take her out the room or immediately calm her down, cautious to never disturb you.'' Arnav felt guilty, thinking how he was never there to help. Arnav took the bottle in his hand and said ''Give her here Khushi'' Khushi handed the baby to Arnav and Arnav happily took the baby into his embrace. He put the bottle in the baby's mouth, rocking her at the same time saying ''Don't cry...shh shh...Daddy's here'' The baby slowly stopped crying and begun to drink the milk. Khushi warmed up at her view with an uncontrollable smile rising across her face. Arnav looked upto Khushi and said ''I've got this. You go back to sleep, now.'' ''Neh Arnav ji, i...'' Arnav turned the lights off and turned the dim side lamp on. ''Khushi...She'll be asleep soon. I can handle this. Go back to sleep'' Arnav, with his free hand, took Khushi's and took her back to bed. ''Lekhin...'' ''No ifs or buts Khushi'' Khushi reluctantly bent down back into bed and instantly fell asleep whilst Arnav spent most of the night attending to Anisa. He thought to himself ''Poor Khushi. All these nights, she's been waking up to our crying child and i had no clue.'' Arnav turned to sleeping Khushi, stroking her cheek and said ''I'm sorry Khushi. I promise i'll be there from now on, every day and night, any time. You don't need to go through all the trouble alone anymore.''
The morning sun rose and Arnav and Khushi woke up in eachother's arms. ''Good morning'' Arnav sleepily said this squinting his eyes to the bright sunlight shining through the curtains. Khushi replied with a big smile on her face as she stretched out her arms. Arnav then asked ''Good sleep?'' Khushi then replied relaxed ''After a long time'' Khushi suddenly realised that she didn't stay up all night attending to the baby; she looked to the cot saying ''Oh my gosh, i slept all night...you took care of Anisa?'' ''m-hmm'' ''Oh my gosh Arnav ji, i'm so sorry...'' ''Khushi why are you apologising? If anyone, i should be saying sorry. I wasn't there all those nights when you needed me the most. I don't know how you handled hectic nights with a new born especially being a first time mother. I did it for one night and i'm exhausted.'' Arnav yawned and slowly drifted of saying ''I'm sorry Khushi...I promi...'' Khushi admired his effort feeling comfort for the first time in a long time and left him to sleep.
From then onwards Arnav always woke up every night when the baby cried making sure Khushi didn't go through too much stress. But most of the times he loved getting up, even to change the nappy because he'd get his chance to spend more time with his dear daughter.
Precap: ''Arnav ji'' ''Open it'' Khushi could see the excitement in Arnav's eyes. ''Arnav ji why...'' ''Just open it Khushi''. Khushi narrowed her eyes at him and pouted as she unwrapped the box. She opened the box and was left speechless ''A-A-...Ar-A-Arnav...ji?'' Khushi looked at Arnav with questioning eyes.
