The front door opens and Anjali could not believe her eyes , it's been such a long time . She has not seen him for couple months.

Shayam comes and stand extending his arms out for Anjali . She quickly gets up and moves towards him smiling and tears roll down her cheeks uncontrollably .

He takes her in his embrace . Hugging her close . It's a pleasant surprise for her , as she wasn't expecting him for until couple more months . But with her pregnancy, she always missed him and wanted him to be around .

Shayam: Meri Rani Shahiba ( my queen ) how are you ?

Anjali: I'm fine but missed you so much and how are you? You came early .

Shayam: I couldn't stay away from you both to long . I wrapped up my case as soon as I could and here I am . I missed you both a lot .

Shayam kisses her forehead lovingly then sits on his knee and kisses her tummy .

Shayam: I told you to take good care of Mumma, did you ?

Just then Arnav and Khushi enter the hallway where Anjali is standing with Shayam talking to the baby .

Arnav: jijaji app ( you) what a pleasant surprise

Shayam gets up and holds Anjalis hand while she keeps her head on his shoulder .

Shayam: yes this time I have taken permanent vacation until we have the baby . I want to be there for us .

He said tightening his hold on Anjali with one hand and softly touching her babybelly with the other .

The happiness on Anjali's face was unexplainable. She was so happy.

Arnav went and hugged Shayam.

Arnav: this was the best decision Jijaji. Look how happy Di is . Thank you so much.

Shayam gives a soft smile to Anjali while she admires him back.

Soon everyone came and met him . Khushi kept on cherishing the family bond they have . That's one thing you can't find in homes these days . Arnav saw Khushi just standing by his side looking at everyone emotional yet happy .

Arnav: Shayam jiju this is Khushi my wife .

Shayam: congratulations to you both.

He slowly releases his hand form Anjali and grabs flowers from his bag , he passes them a bouquet of flowers .

Shayam: I heard about the great news . I am happy for you both.
