Akash put the call on speakerphone.

"You found Chhote? When? Where? And Khushi? Is she with him? Are they alright? When can I talk to him?"

"Di." Arnav was hell emotional. Khushi clutched his arm.

"Chhote!"

"Rani Sahiba, what's going on?" They heard their jiju.

"Shyamji, Akash found Chhote!"

"What? Where?"

"You are on speakerphone now Chhote! Shyamji is not happy with you."

"You're on speakerphone too, Anjali Di." Khushi chimed in, smiling.

"Khushi! Wait. Isn't in dinnertime in London?"

"Yes Di." Payal said.

"Whose place are you at?"

"Mine, Di." Arnav said.

"How are you Chhote? I've missed you so much."

"You have a nephew, you know." Shyam chimed in.

"I met him."

"Saale-Sahab, Piyush is not the nephew I'm talking about."

"Not Piyush, then... Di, you had a child!"

"Yes Chhote. I named him Arsh. For you and Khushi."

Khushi's heart swelled. This, this was the family she craved. Sure, she had run away. But they had missed a hell lot too. "Congratulations Anjali Di."

"And you should congratulate her, too." Payal grinned.

"For what exactly?" Shyam asked.

"Our Bhabhi is pregnant and about to pop."

"I've a month to go, you know."

"Khushi ji! Congratulations!" Shyam laughed.

"Chhote, you're going to be a father!"

"I guess I am." Arnav smiled.

"I am so happy for you both. When can we... what am I saying? Shyamji, we're going to London."

"I have court tomorrow."

"Fine, I'm going to London with Arsh. Chhote, be ready. I'm going to extract two years worth of embarrassing stories from Khushi."

"Come fast Di. I've missed you." Payal said.

"Of course, Payal. Please tell me you're both in walking distance."

"We are. Three blocks, can you believe it?"

"Just three blocks?" Arnav asked.

"Yes. Imagine the coincidence?" Akash laughed, knowingly.

"So much. How come we didn't meet for nearly two years!"

"Well. We did move here two months ago. After Aman mentioned that you were working nearby."

"Aman? He knows where I am?"

"Mathur is very loyal to you, Bhai. Still keeping AR afloat."

"Chhote, I will see you in two days, maybe earlier. I need to get back to bed, or Arsh will raise hell in a minute. He's already waking up."

"Give our love to him Di. See you in two days."

The call dropped.

"Aman is handling AR?" Arnav asked.

"Yes. You left thinking I would be in charge but working with Aman, I realized how much he knows. So, when I planned to move here, I handed over the reins to him, officially stating that unless me or you say otherwise, even Aman is not allowed to let anyone buy out."
