I wonder what is love, is that the happiness we feel being with someone? Or is it the pain we feel stepping away ? Just like us, neither Kushi nor Arnav knew it.

After that night Kushi and Arnav never spoke to each other,  Anjali was the only one who could sense trouble between them, but her marriage was in a bigger soup that she couldn't understand herself.

Anjali's POV: Why do I feel far from Shyam ji? Is it  just my hallucination or are we drifting apart. Sometimes I feel like he is not happy about our pregnancy, should I share all this with Chote? No no, he is already bothered with all the work, he has a company to run and after years he has finally started looking at his life and I shouldn't bother him.

Kushi was slightly at peace after two weeks, and the reason was Payal's return. Kushi had run errands to buy and cook Payal's favorite dish.

Looking at a messed up kitchen Anjali playfully asked, "Kushi ji, whats the reason for your happiness today, looks like our kitchen is having the first drop of your happiness".

"Today Jiji and Akash ji are coming back, so im cooking something special for them Di", Kushi answered with the same smile intact. "Di, aren't you late for your checkup today? Nani told that today we can see the baby's sonograph", excitedly Kushi checked. Kushi saw a week smile on Anjali's face. 

"You remembered Kushi Ji?", Anjali asked in a soft tone. "Haan di, why not", Kushi answered without thinking the reason behind the question. " Shyam ji is out of city for work, and Chotte, I think he is very busy, i'm sure he wont have forgotten else", Anjali convinced herself.  "others I don't know, but Arnav ji would really have a reason, because everything in his life comes after you.", Kushi answered on behalf of her husband.

"First time i'm seeing you taking Chotte's side Kushi ji", a surprised Anjali replied.  "When it comes to you Di, he is always right, I have that trust", Kushi's reply gave Anjali a comfort that things between Kushi and her chotte are fine. 

" Kushi Beta can you come to my room, I want to show you something", Nani disturbed a serious conversation.

Kushi followed Nani to her room to find out what has put smile on her face suddenly.

" I was looking for a document and I saw this album, I wanted to show you Chotte's childhood pictures,  you should know that this  strict, rude husband of yours was once cute and smiling till ears", Nani ji spoke in length.  But Kushi was already into the pictures, wondering how this kid turned into her lord governor.

Suddenly a small concern was on her face, Kushi asked "Nani ji, where are the rest? I only see till teen age. Where is the rest ?".

Nani's face turned sad and pale, a smile that vanished. " Vooh beta..... after he turned 14 his mother died, and after that he doesn't celebrate his birthdays. And we could never find that innocent little child in him again. "

"What was his name back then Nani Ji", Kushi asked a question that has been killing her . Nani smiled at her and answered, " It doesn't matter beta, he is no longer associated to it.  He doesn't like that name " , Nani patted Kushi knowing the story behind this question.
