Kushi joined AR the following Monday as planned Arnav avoided direct meeting and have already made plans with Akash not to disclose about his profile to Payal's family, by this way kushi could avoid
(Guptas only know that Arnav owns a business but they are not aware of The ASR and AR.The ASR has never made public appearance before media so Kushi and others don't have a clue about him)
The days went by and Kushi got very accustomed with the works and her designs were widely applauded by the team as she was exceptionally talented but the tweeking on the final designs were made by The infamous ASR whom avoided the interns was still a mystery to interns.The myths and stories of ASR's growth in fashion world and anger was canteens hot topic during lunch time.
Hand in hand Payash bond grew with time.
Arnav and kushi met for kuldevi Pooja which went uneventful as they both could not even say hi bye to each other as Arnav had to leave for conference in between and when he returned Guptas had left.
Arnav missed kushi very much though daily he sees her in his office and admires her as much possible, in the case of kushi was very hilarious as she got confuse on her health., due to her thoughts on Arnav she lost her appetite which was very much criticised by her family and her heart beats were going haywire when ever she thinks of him.
Engagement day neared and everyone were busy with the preparations.
Arnav had now decided to disclose his identity to Guptas as it was getting tough to hide that anymore because of their invite list of business associates.
The merger of Akash concern with AR is planned to be revealed on the Payash engagement.
Shashi:wow beta that's fantastic, I had no idea about your business son.
Buaji:God bless you Nandukishore, you are such a good inspiration to the young generation.
Payal:Super proud of you Arnavji.
Garima:we are so proud of you beta.kushi look your role model is none other than Arnav beta.
Arnav noticed a stunned Kushi who was flushed.but she excused herself and moved away as soon as the elders started to discuss on the next day festivity.
Arnav moved away in pretending to attend a call and went to kushi's room.
Kushi was furiously sketching a lehanga choli

Arnav stood silently behind her and noticed how her hand moved along with the strokes, when he noticed a tear drop on the note pad he lost his cool and pulled a furious tear eyed Kushi.
Arnav:what the hell kushi? Why are you crying damnit?
Kushi turned the other side and still cried miffed.
Arnav's voice sounded a desperate plea: Kushi, did I do something wrong?
Kushi faced Arnav and said: I thought I had talent but now I know how I got the internship.
Arnav:how?
Kushi:Don't act Arnavji.you must had selected me because I am a relative.
Arnav mind voice:what the?
Arnav:oh so you seriously thought I selected your design based on the relationship we share?
Kushi nodded.
Arnav:I tracked down your reg.no on your design from your college and approved it for internship?
Kushi hesitatedly nodded
Arnav:I found your profile before Mami ji found Payal's profile, so that means I am a foreteller ain't I?
Kushi:but...but
Now Arnav who was raging pulled Kushi towards him and wishper shouted:but what?
Kushi meekly said:but you hid your identity from me!
Arnav who was very closely watching Kushi melted at once at her innocence and without thinking anything hugged her tightly and said:I thought you won't feel comfortable around a known person at your work and that too ceo of the company, you might have gotten so intimidated.
Arnav: look at me Kushi, this is the last time I am saying you... I won't mix professional life with personal stuff and you must know AR is my..
Kushi took Arnav's hand :AR is your baby and The ASR is one of the strongest person I ever knew.
Arnav shrugged her hold and said:no you didn't trust me, you don't know me.I thought you know me better Madhu...
Kushi was now heartbroken for an entirety different reason....but wait did Arnavji called me Madhu?why?
Why do I feel, it as familiar?what's going on
Arnav left Gupta house swiftly letting Anjali know about his meeting.
Kushi felt ashamed as she knew how ASR had put his blood and sweat to grow AR to this stage.
Kushi and the others were all sitting around the Guptas dining table.
Anjali was explaining how Arnav had grown AR to this level though having a hurting past(these things are new to Guptas as they have never heard of the tough life Malik kids had to endure)
A silent Shashi tried to change the topic, on engagement.
Arnav landed Lucknow in an hour and directly went to the temple to meet Pandit.
Arnav explained the things happened to him and his family and showed kushi AKA Madhuvanthi's picture and the third box.
Panditji ask Arnav to keep the box down and said:
I didn't get good vibe from this box.
Guruji:Don't open the third box
Arnav:?
Guruji:you may not want to notice the changes around you but if the history is correcting itself then it will include all the characters from the past.
Arnav:I don't even know about this Takurs and Singhs Guruji.
Guru:Go to sheesh mahal's terrace library and you can find what you are looking at.

Arnav ransacked the top floor in the mahal it was well maintained room but he couldn't find anything related to what he wanted.
Suddenly he remembered the painting room in sheesh mahal which was forbidden for him in the past, he ran towards it and opened the door.
Arnav entered the room only to find very old oil paintings stacked in arrays.
His I-phone rang and notified his need in Delhi.
Arnav checked a couple of racks and found that he is searching needle in hey stack.
