EPILOGUE..
Months later...
She walked past the arena where the reporters were steadying themselves to click the picture of the Indian Cricket Captain who was called in for a press meet by the Cricket Council after their victorious triumph over the Aussies. The cameras were set right and the reporters were whispering about the possible reason for arranging it inside the meeting room of the arena itself. Oblivious to the surroundings which had some media people spread out who were enjoying their cigar puff, she pressed the dial pad of her mobile hardly as if it would accomplish her mission of reaching the person of contact she had been trying for a long time. Irritation overruled making her stomp foot on the floor. The last attempt before which she made up mentally to try the number and catch hold of the person or else she would clearly abandon this mobile phone on the dust bin which was standing beside her. Just then the mobile started ringing much to her relief.
Lavanya : Aman.. Where the hell were you? I was trying you from the past one hour. Here I am wandering out of the arena without anyone by my side.The press meet is about to start. Where is that camera man who was supposed to reach here before me? Howled the young lady through her phone to her fiance Aman Mathur not able to restrict the over powering anger.
Aman : Excuse me Ms.Kashyap.. I am working for AR group under Mr.Arnav Singh Raizada and am not a slave to you. He shot back simultaneously signing the papers relating to the most important deal which AR has procured for the last few months.
Lavanya : Where does my channel Pinnacle belong to ? Its a part of AR Mr. Aman Mathur. Owned by your boss. Did you forget that? She said with much attitude.
Aman: So what ? I am not responsible for these trivial matters like arranging cameraman. Call your office and tell your boss to arrange for one..
Lavanya: Fine.. . I swear you have to stand outside the apartment like yesterday Mr.Husband.. Bye.. She reprimanded him subsequently hanging up the call. She was sure this was the last weapon she could utilise to tame Aman.
It was never an easy affair to convince both the families. They had conviction of making themselves prove compatible for each other in their relationships even there existed a daily dosage of arguments. Aman never had the urgency to settle while it was under his friend Arnav's instructions and advice that he got married to his love. Two months of married life had never changed them. They were the same themselves who loved each other with passion and who fought each other enjoying themselves. A recently married couple as they are themselves would claim to be Made for Each other with their madness.
Lavanya turned around when her eyes met an ex colleague who was with Vision Channel.
Lavanya: Hey Vinu.. How are you ? Are you here for coverage? I heard you left Vision ...Did you join somewhere else?
Vinu: Yes Madam. From today I am your camera person. Joined your office today.. Courtesy your friend, our present boss Khushi.. His enthusiasm curved a smile on Lavanya's face as she found out the person who came to rescue was appointed by Khushi. She smiled and moved towards the arena with Vinu for the coverage.

Garima moved Sashi on the side while he was decorating the hall with balloons. With the utmost care he was trying to wound around the tape carelessly messed up by his lovely wife on the pretext of him standing in the middle of the hall blocking her way.
Sashi : Garima.. I am doing it for the third time.. Cant you walk through the other side? Grimaced Sashi with his usual pleading tone.
Garima : uffo.. Sashiji.. You could have stood by the side to do these decorations..I am more busy in some other work. Please dont disturb me. I guess they might have started from house. Replying hastily to her husband not even bothered to receive his response she hurried towards the kitchen with the sweet plates which she had carefully arranged earlier.
Sashi :God knows when I shall be given due respect and attention in this house.. He sighed in disbelief and continued his work attentively.
Suddenly a car screeching sound was heard outside the house. Sashi left his work and moved out to welcome the guests. As he opened the door he could find his daughter glimmering with a smile on her face. He rushed to take his sweet daughter in his arms as he had missed her presence so much in the house. She hugged him back with the same affection leaving behind her inlaws and husband to watch the scene with awe.
Sashi : Happy Wedding Anniversary Payal bitiya.. He wished her caressing her hair with a small drop of happy tear threatening him to come out for the joy of his daughter coming back home.
Payal : Thank you papa.. How are you papa? I missed you so much these days.. She cried on his shoulder making him aware of how she had missed him in his life.He was indispensible part of hers and her sister's life -her father her mentor and a friend.
Ashok : Uncle if your reunion scene is done Shall we get in? He interrupted his emotional daughter father duo when he sensed this wouldnt end so soon.
Payal broke the hug and turned to glare at him. One glance was enough to make Ashok silent with his index finger on his mouth and his eyes on the floor. His parents laughed their hearts out at their joker son getting tamed by their daughter in law.
Sashi : Sorry Beta.. Come in.. Please. I am a fool to make you stand outside the house for a long time..
Garima came out with a huge grin on her face welcoming her daughter,Son In law and his family.
Garima : Payal.. Ashok how are you ? Happy Anniversary children.. Come in bhaiyaa and bhabhi.. She was overwhelmed and excited.
As soon as they got in Payal nudged Ashok to bend down to get her parents blessings on this asuspicious day.
Garima : Bless you beta. Bless you bitiya.. We are eagerly waiting for our grandchild to enter this home soon. Haina bhabhi?
Payal blushed as soon as her mother got excited with her three month pregnancy news which she had informed them two days earlier. After marriage she had been with Ashok travelling around the world for a tour and by the end of one month as she promised to his parents she got settled in London with Ashok taking care of his father's business. Being a part of a small close knit family she had a great difficulty in adjusting herself staying far away from them. Nothing could give her confidence except her sister's words who assured her lead a happy life which would prove more contentment to her parents than staying with them.
Payal sat down in the couch with her parents and inlaws around her.She started to share her talks till Ashok expressed his wish of having a photo session with the decoration.
Payal : Ash, Why are you hurrying up? There is still time for party.. Let everyone be present to take snaps.
Ashok : Oh.. Payal..We need to have our family snaps before that.. Long time we had posed with our family alone..
Payal : You have a point Ash.. But dont you dare think of taking pics without my sister.
Ashok : OMG.. Yea.. Where is my saaliji ? She promised me to be at home by the time we reach.
Garima smiled looking at Sashi on how they loved and cared for Khushi.
Garima : She hasnt reached Beta.. She got an urgent work in the channel. You know her. If she is committed to her work then she would finish the work and mind other business. She explained with utmost pride being a mother of a strong and determined daugter who is emerging as a big name in the media world with her work and dedication. She sighed at the thought of how confident Khushi was to take up the job which Arnav had offered though there were many insecurities Garima had.
********
Soon after Arnav had left for Australia Khushi had flown to Lucknow to detail about her decisions she had discussed with Arnav. Garima and Sashi was merely apprehensive on how far Khushi's belief would falter her as they had witnessed the pain of disappointment with Arnav before. The only one factor which shocked them was Khushi's enthusiasm in taking up the relationship with the conditions. The confidence she had shown on her ASR much greater than what she had with him before. Her determination that he would win the battle within himself by winning her parents and herself had been impeccable. Payal and Ashok were the ones who had supported her in this regard when she discussed it with her parents. Incredulously Garima and Sashi agreed for her job with the channel just on proving a point with a chance given to a man who had once tried to destroy their daughter's life. How could he change within a matter of time was their biggest worry. They had the biggest doubt on his pretense of acting good towards their child to destroy her happiness again. It was hard to gain back confidence over someone which was Arnav's befitting challenge over himself.
Payal's marriage was done within a month soon after Khushi had flown to Delhi back to join in the new office. She had particularly requested Aman to make it a point that AR was the owner of the channel and not her. She didnt want to have a burden of a big office on her back which would affect her work and talents. Nevertheless the whole unit knew she was the owner of the channel and she had gained more respect with her behavoiour and hardwork which impressed everyone.
The most calm and serene place as he wished to live in .. Arnav found himself fitting to the daily timetable of working with his Jeejaji in Australia.Shyam who had always supported him through out his life welcomed Arnav's decision of winning confidence over Khushi's parents exclaiming it as the best decision he had ever taken in life. Though he was entirely equipped in his work there were never a moment that could be left without talking to Khushi if he or she wished. More like a telepathy or love beyond words the moment Khushi thought of him she would get a call from him in the midst of his busy work. Their incessant calls at the earlier stage of not able to tolerate the seperation gradually turned into a dedication into their work for which they are going to prove a point. Right from the first day he had attempted to talk to Sashi and Garima in a formal and a respectable manner but they had more hurry to resign the talks without much interest. Arnav's biggest folly they had felt was the anger and they were sure of that anger which would bite back him one day.
Khushi was often visited by Avinash and Anjum who had been a biggest support to help her come out her reserved character when working in a media. They had even talks with Garima and Sashi throwing light on their changed chotte who had been traumatized by his mother's death which fate had proven to be a game changer in his life. The one reason for why he became a beast transformed him into a man. After such affirmations from Avinash, Anjum and even Khushi Garima had been silently acknowledging their imposed impression on Arnav until a day when she found Sheetal asking forgiveness. It came as a shock to Garima and even for Sashi when they found themselves guilty of misunderstanding Arnav's posessiveness. The image they had painted of him after that incident proved to be vague with Sheetal's confession. Khushi had felt respect high on Arnav when she heard from Sheetal that Arnav didnt want her to confess to Garima that she was unnecessarily filling her ears as that would make her feel guilty on her actions with him. He chose a way more to win their heart by his love rather than Sheetal's confession as the former had more foundation laid than his someone else giving him a clean chit. Reality strikes back at him when Garima had felt more guiltier after Sheetal's talk. She didnt even bother to meet Sheetal after that day but mentally she had thanked Sheetal for letting know her daugter's choice wasnt completely wrong. Khushi had tried to explain the complexity of his behaviour on how he had loved her to the core. Striding past every single explanation the guilt that wallowed Garima for having mistook his character made her change the attitude towards Arnav.
Arnav had felt a bit awkward when Garima had intentionally started talking to him. He hadnt talked to her much like he had been talking to Sashi. The more he confronted with the memories of their previous encounters on issues related to Khushi.. the more he felt regressive with his relationship with Garima. Khushi played a major role in boosting up his morale that his mother had imbibed in him. He took courage to handle those horrible past with a pinch of salt and started to talk with Garima & Sashi as a transformed Arnav.
Three months he had spent in clearing his each and every fear.. The time he thought of moving away from Khushi was inevitable he thought. At times he himself found the anger clouding him uncontrollablly which was when he adopted the meditation as a tool to enhance his control level. He felt those days were lucky enough not to be with Khsuhi or her family as now his one action would prove fatal for his relationship again.
Anjali had insisted him to take a break for a while and meet Khushi which would really motivate her too. Arnav didnt take much time to think this and decided to fly to Delhi to meet Khushi & her parents. The first meet after their seperation proved to be the most sweetest memory they would have saved for life. He had been more like a love sick puppy when he met her at his house as she came to meet him soon after his arrival.
She ran into his arms with anxiety when she saw him sitting inside his room unpacking his stuff. He least expected Khushi to be in his house as he had strictly warned Aman not to inform her about his arrival to keep it as a surprise. Aman wouldnt fear his friend ASR but would definitely his friends' fiance Mrs.ASR.His happimess knew no bounds as he found her in his arms soon taking her into the bed showering his love. He hugged her posessively expressing how he had found it difficult to be seperated from her for such a long time. Then slowly taking himself into her he rested his head on her shoulders wrapping his arms around her like a kid yearning for her warmth. As she started discussing many things, they didnt knew how time passed. She expressed her curiosity on his meet with Garima and Sashi. Though he had lacked full confidence on meeting Garima and Sashi, the moments Khushi gave him brought back that confidence in full force.
Stunned as they would call Garima couldnt believe her eyes when she saw a respectful Arnav Singh Raizada bending down to their legs for seeking forgiveness. She hadnt witnessed such a change in him in all these years which awed her like all the members who had been shocked. Arnav had made the meeting more comfortable with Sashi and Garima by cracking jokes and talking lighter things. Sashi could feel the change instantly and his mind was already accepting him back with love. The love his daughter posessed was right and deserving for his man. As he moved away to leave the house his word shocked them the most which they couldnt forget for life.
Arnav: Aunty .. I am seeking your apologies once again for behaving like a beast, a sadist and more like a jerk. I hadnt known who a mother is until I met my mother in her last days who changed my life. I would be really obliged if you could give me a chance to accept me as your son in your life even if you didnt wish me to become Khushi's partner.The fact is I love your daughter and it is my responsibilty to keep her happy. I promise you that never ever I would let your daughter shedding a drop of tear or feel even the slightest regret for her decision of believing me.Now all depends on your decision. It would be you both who would decide whats good for your daughter.. I would never influence your decision for my choices. He left after bowing to them and smirking at Khushi who had her mouth opened wide like a circle not able to believe.
Sooner the romance Arnav in him evolved within no time as he had limited time to woo his lady. The evenings and night outs had really changed her life so much. She was immersed in work before but the arrival of Arnav had slightly distracted her from the work though her friends including Lavanya who had joined her after Khsuhi took up the charge of the channel helped her in work. He made sure his lady had enjoyed all sorts of dates, gifts and outings as every girl would have wished. One evening he had surprised her gifting a pair of lens requesting her to wear it for him. Khushi knew that he was replacing all those bitter memories of her wishes being turned down before to be accomplished now. She returned back the gift with more enthusiasm as she liked to wear the specs that her ASR had selected for her not out of jealousy but with a concern of not hurting her eyes. Both were competing enough to express their love more while they couldnr resist themselves in falling for each other's passion at times. The drunken kisses dragging way for an intimate moment often being stopped by his conrol over his senses. Khushi could feel his hesitation of not moving forward in their relationship until they could get a green signal from her parents. The days passed making way for Arnav to return back to Australia. He had utilised his time with Khushi, her parents, his parents and his family now.. He had no fear of calling everyone his own.. He thanked his mother wholeheartedly for showing the path of happiness and light in his life. With the belief of a brighter future with Khushi he constantly strived to win everyone's hearts.
************
Arnav Singh Raizada came out of the airport immigration to collect his bags. His made up short trip to London to visit his clients had been succesful. As he strolled in his bags into the car he looked out at the airport where he had landed one and half years back from Australia with a hope of getting back his love , his Khushi in his life. Her thoughts were more than enough to drive him crazy.. He moved into the car rushing to the workplace where she would be present.
As Khushi entered the hall she could find some important advertisement agency parnters sitting across the table. Her Manager welcomed her to have a brief talks on their new proposals.She always had respect towards her manager who had efficiently handled every single work. She continued the meeting with much confidence and expressed the difficulties of accepting a single handed contract which wouldnt be beneficial to the channel as well as the product endorsement which she considers as not fit to be publically adveritised. The new people were very much apalled by her boldness and more of her beauty.
As she was about to wrap up her decision she found the agency parnter starting to praise her.
" Wow.. You have a great talent. Must say the beauty with the brains. You gave us an awesome explanation on rejecting our proposal. I really appreciate how easily you tackled our questions. You are really more beautiful than what we had expected of a channel chief editor. You would look gorgeous without those spectacles. You know.."
Khushi started to feel uneasy when that guy was openly flirting around. He was talking business in between his sugar coated words on her beauty irked her. Soon she heard a sound of the door banging opened by none other than Arnav Singh Raizada..
The fear of the past flashed through her thougths for a second. She could feel the heat blowing up as he entered though his face remained calm.She was sure that he had heard what this guy was praising her. She felt as if her heart would stop with the fear of Arnav turning back to ASR mode with such a silly incident. She stood from her chair as he moved near the table.
Khushi : A.. Arnav...
Arnav : Hi guys.. I am Arnav Singh Raizada.. Nice to meet you all.
Khushi : Arnav is the owner of this channel.I wish he would sit with us to explain his point too.
Advertising Agent : Ofcourse.. We would love to hear from you and if he had any point he can make it clear too.
Arnav smirked at the man sitting infront of him literally oogling at Khushi.. All the time Khushi was watching his expressions which she thought would change into a volcano bursting with the kind of actions the guy was expressing. She noticed his eyes were on that man alone but the calm and cool stature he continued earned respect in her. If he had been ASR he would have killed that guy the next second but she knew her Arnav had changed. This man would never do anything that hurt others or particularly her. She mentally hit herslef for disbelieving her ASR but felt bad that she couldnt do this jerk who was flirting with her in public. After the meeting all of them parted ways while the person who was flirting with her shook hands with Khushi cozily.Her face turned reddened due to his action which was surely noticed by Arnav who asked her to leave for as they had an important report to be submitted.
Arnav : Excuse me .. I need to talk to you personally if you dont mind. He excued others and took the guy to another room and closed the door.
" Yea... Mr. Arnav.. Anything important?" He waved off his hands in the air shrugging his shoulders.
Arnav extended his hands for a handshake which that guy readily accepted. The next moment he twisted that guy;s hand pinning at the back.
" Hey.. Leave me.. What are you doing man .. Hey"
As his face was facing backwards Arnav turned the man to face him not leaving the hold twisting his hands more in the process. The man was the first lucky person to witness the return of ASR on his face. The deadly ASR who would not spare anyone. His gritting teeth, hardened jaws,flaring nose and red eyes were back but this time it was for a cause.. He had known the reason for his anger. This was not subdued by his control power as the cause was reasonable.
Arnav : Henceforth If I ever see you flirting with Khushi or any other girls and showing your cheap marketing tactics by your manly attraction I swear you wouldnt see the light of next day! She is not a simple girl who would fall for your cheap talks.. She is Khushi.. KHUSHI SINGH RAIZADA.. my legally wedded wife. If I ever saw you near by this area.. then..
Arnav growled in anger as the man started trembling in fear.
"Sorry Sir. I didnt know she was your wife. Sorry sir.. I wont repeate this again.. Please leave me sir.. Sorry.."He pleaded for mercy.
Arnav left him and made sure that he shouldnt be near the outskirts of the channel. Khushi saw the guy running for life as she watched him through the window. She started getting suspicous but as a pair of arms snaked her waist hugging her from behind she rested back in relief on his chest.
Their seven and half years of wait had been fulfilled six months back with their marriage.. A marriage which was proposed by Khushi's parents seeking for Arnav as their son in law after a strong willed confidence and trust formed on him that he would keep their daughter happy for life.Anjum and Avinash got overexcited to turn the marriage into the most happening function of the city. The endless smiles they saw in everyone's face was overwhelming to the couple more than any other happiness.
Arnav : Khushi.. Arent we getting late for the party ? I guess Payal and Ashok must have reached.
Khushi turned towards him and snuggled to his chest more tightly.
Khushi : Ladoo..I am so happy that you could make time for their anniversary party. Jiji and jeejaji would be surprised to see you.
Arnav smiled as he rested his cheeks on her head.. : I wished that dumbo early morning from airport. He couldnt even guess I was travelling. I am sure he would be shocked more than surprised.
Khushi : Then lets go.. come..
Arnav pulled her back by her wrists making her fall on his chest. He held her waist posessively not trying to relieve her so soon.She blushed at thought of her husband getting romantic in her office. Turning back and sides she warned him with eyes to take note of the place.
Arnav : Jalebi. Can I get a bone breaking hug ?
The moment he pleaded with a pout Khushi couldnt hold back her tears. After for her husband it was more like a request from his side rather than dominating.
Soon replacing her arms position round his neck she embraced with all her might giving him the much needed warmth. He hugged back with the same intensity of showing her how much she means to her in his life.
Arnav : I love you Jalebi.. He chuckled at thought of chanting this mantra for the nth time in a day. Soon expected a reply from his wife as usual.
Khushi : I love you too Ladoo.. My ASR My ladoo.. I would proclaim it to the whole world with pride..
