*****************
Garima just glance at the photograph of her son .. Akhilesh Gupta, She gulp the lump forming inside her throat as she remembers the conversation she had in the morning ..
Why have not she thought about it ? Arnav Singh Raizada is the same ACP who was been accused in Anjali Singh Raizada's case ..
ASR and  ACP Arnav are both same ? Then Khushi must have known all these till date but yet she have keep it hidden from her ...
Is it truth that Khushi is still connected to Arnav Singh Raizada ... Garima wipes out her tears .. She cannot let her daughter to get into trouble and the path she is walking is nothing full of thrones ..
What was the need for Khushi to take so much of interest in Anjali Singh Raizada's murder case .. Is it Arnav Singh Raizada who have influenced her ......
Since the day Arnav Singh Raizada has entered their lives ... their lives has turned upside down ...And Ashi .. Despite of everything she cannot stop herself accepting the little kid who speaks louder about the genes that she carried away .
She have tried to get rid of Ashi when she was born but then out of nowhere  the hospital staff whom she bribed  to do the work was being caught off ... she could linked up now .. Ashi knowing Arnav's identity...and she could feel Khushi's ignorance even after claiming to hate him ..
Garima closed her eyes before she opened her eyes sighing out ..
Enough She have allowed her daughter to do according to her wish ... She cannot allow her to dig her own grave ... She knows the threat they have given her regarding Khushi .. They can easily do that to her ...and she cannot lose her only daughter in this dirty game ..
She removes her phone and dails Khushi's number which was disconnected continiously before it was being answered by Ashi ..
Ashi : Kya hai Nani ..why are you calling so many times .. I am busy ... Can't you get it ..( She shouts angrily making Garima huffed in anger)
Garima: This is not the way to speak with elders ..when I am calling you  that means I have some important talks with your mother . Where is she ? Tell her I am coming to mumbai .
Ashi : My ears are bursting with your shouting Nani .. .. Mumum is with Papai .. ( She said cutely sticking out her tongue before cutting the call even before Garima could reply )
Garima was surprised hearing the reply ....she could join the dots...No this is going too far ... she need to pull the strings .  Enough Arnav Singh Raizada has brought strom in their life not anymore she will definitely called it as an end ....
She cannot forget the harm that man has brought to their lives ..She still cannot forget the day when she find her young son body covered in white shroud ... she has given fire to her young son being a mother herself ... that man has brought calamity to her daughter's life as well .She doesn't deserves all these ..Until this Arnav Singh Raizada is there in her life ..she cannot able to think practically ...  She needs to interefere ...If Necessary she will drag her out from Mumbai ...
*********************
Khushi just glance at Ashi who came there running ..
Khushi : Kya hua Ashu ? What have you done now ..
Ashi : I did nothing Mumum .   Nani is coming ...
Khushi's eyes opened wide in shock as she picked Ashi in her lap
Khushi : When Nani called you ..
Ashi : she started shouting ..I cut the call ... But ..
Khushi : How many times I have to say you don't do such acts with Elders ..she is elder to you ... Give her respect ..
Ashi pouts lowering her eyes as she rushed toward Arnav who just entered the room and hide behind him ...
Arnav : What happened ? did you again scold her Khushi ..
Khushi : What ? why do you always think that I am the one who tortures your daughter ... you was telling me something right about Nani ...
Ashi glance at her father before she dragged her father out towards the poolside area knowing his dislikes regarding her Nani ...
Khushi sighed shaking her head she thought to give a call to her mother but then shrugs away the thought deciding to call back later .. It is better to ignore the topic to avoid  Arnav's further outburst.

Khushi : What you are doing here Ashu ? Where is your father ?
Ashi : Papai is in ..colfelence ... And Papai brings me here to office .. Dadu has gone out..
Khushi let out a sigh before glancing at Arnav who just walked inside the cabin loosening his tie ...
Khushi: You called her in the office ? .
Arnav : Yes I do .. and you know the reason .. I don't want my daughter to become your mother's target don't think I cannot guess the reason about your. Mother's arrival in Mumbai ...
Khushi: You only asked her to stay with us in Shantivan .. 
Arnav : I had enough of this hide and seek game not anymore ... And in this situation .. I am not allowing my daughter and you to stay away anywhere  away off my shield ..If your mother have any problem  staying with me she can find some other place to live . But you both are going nowhere.
Khushi : Have you heard about the news of Shyam Jha .. He was being shot to death .
Arnav : Yes got the news . Abhi has called me ..and is coming here to discuss about the things ...I knew it was not going to be easier.    But it is more than what we have thought ... And Shyam Jha's death proves it ....
Khushi : What are you thinking ? Are you afraid ?
Arnav : You know I am not the one to get scared but yes I am afraid of losing you and Ashi .. I won't able to forgive myself if something happens to you or Ashi ..
Khushi : What would have happened to us ...when you are there with us.  Hai nah ? ( Khushi said engulfing the warmth of her husband while Ashi scowls hopping out of the couch ) You shut up Ashi .... Your daughter have not thought to saying about Maa coming here when she have told her yesterday ..
Ashi : I told you Mummum . You didn't believe me ...what i can do ?
Khushi groaned in anger as she eyed the little toddler before Arnav attended the ringing intercom ...
Arnav : Yes!! send him to my cabin
************************
Abhinash : Hey Little Girl .. I am Abhi ? And what is your name ( He siad extending his palm toward the little toddler who blinks her eyes seeing the new person )
Khushi : He is your papa's friend .  tell hello to Uncle Ashi ..
Abhinash : Arnav.  She resembles so kuch of you ..  Really .. No Rocket science is required to say that she is your daughter Arnav ..she have all your features ..
Khushi : I have just carried her in my womb only otherwise she is all his ... All the traits she have is of him ..
Arnav : are we here to discuss all these .  Abhi .. we need to  hurry up the meetings .. Khushi's mother have arrived today and in the house ..and we need to leave early ...
Abhinash : I understand ... Arnav .... i need your permission to visit your old house ..
Arnav just glance at Khushi before his past flashed infront of his eyes ..
Khushi placed a comforting palm on his shoulder .. Arnav looked up at him and nodded his head ...
Khushi : I have asked Kundra to air the footage of Bhusan Patel's threat in the national TV ... Abhinash has asked me to do so .. He has agreed ..
Arnav looked up at  Abhinash who just nodded his head
Abhinash : Yes .... I have told Bhabhi to do so .. It will work in our favor ..  The little mistake Bhushan Patel did is coming directly to Taaza News and threat Bhabhi ...and we will work  it on our favor ..I don't know whether he is directly involved or influenced or not ..whatever  it will be .. It is going to work as biggest trump card .   Arnav I will suggest to keep a tab on Bhushan Patel .. He will definitely do something once the  news get viral ..and it will help us to get the clue ..  we need to trace other two victims Ricky Malhotra and Arvind Rao ... Bhabhi I will tell you the next step ... you need to arrange an interview with Arvind Rao ...
Khushi could see her husband stiffened self ...
Arnav : Hope This is not going to land my daughter in trouble .. I am all fine untill it is out of Ashi's reach ...but if it's started affecting my family's safety ... I will not stay silent .... I am still saying I don't believe this dam Laws .... it won't take time to buy the system here...
Arnav groaned angrily before Abhinash assured him
Abhinash : Relax  Arnav ..  You have my assurity this time ..you have face  the cruelty that time ... It's time for the truth to win ....  And I will make sure of it .. K Bhabhi we need to execute few more things ..( Khushi nodded her head )
Khushi : You have promised me  Abhinash that you will not let Arnav face the cruelty again ... And You won't let the ASR to come in the limelight.. Let him be dead ....
Abhinash nodded his head placing his palm on Arnav's shoulder before he said ..
Abhinash : As your mother is in here Bhabhi .. I will want to take a session with her ..she can became a witness ..
Arnav : Abhinash ... I don't want you to force her on anything ... Let it be her call
Khushi: I will arrange a meeting with her ...

Garima was surprised being here in the mansion .. Khushi has sent a luxurious car to pick her up  from the Mumbai Airport ...
Her daughter is staying here ? How much does she earn being a PR Head of AR Fashion ..or how much does Taaza news has been paying her to live such a lavish lifestyle ...
Garima's eyes caught on the very particular corner of the wall which has all the photographs of Ashi's from the day of her birth till the date .. The whole wall conqures the various poses of Ashi of her different ages ...and some were clicked very recently ..One was of Disney Land .. Ashi hugging the donald duck..But when does they went to Disney Land
Garima frowned as her eyes fell on the particular photograph ..It was Ashi's first birthday .. where she was been decked up like a princess . She remembers Khushi taking Ashi somewhere out in the pretext of work ... So Her Birthday was celebrated her eyes went wide seeing the person who was holding Ashi in his arms as she leans to blow the candle with smile on her face...
Garima: ( whispers) Arnav Singh Raizada...
Garima turned around hearing the footsteps ... Her eyes went wide seeing Khushi walking in with Arnav and Ashi being in his arms who was snuggling her father's shoulder
Garima: Khushi ...( Khushi gulps as she felt the grip on her hand tightened as she glance at her husband who tightened his hold on her )
Garima's eyes went wide seeing their entwined fingers Arnav Singh Raizada ... Anger started raising inside her . Before she reached toward Khushi pulling her away ..She raised her hand to slap Khushi while Khushi closed her eyes waiting to accept the pain but when she felt None ...She opened her eyes only to find her husband to stand in between holding her hand while Ashi has already dug her face in his shoulder in fear of her father's anger.
Arnav : How dare you Mrs Gupta ..   I have never given permission to anyone to led eye on my wife and child .. forget about raising her hand on my wife and that too standing in my house ...
Garima : Wife ...
Arnav smirk shrugging away her hand and said
Arnav : Yes ..She is my legally wedded wife ...
