Arnav returned back from office as he handed his laptop bag to the Servant before He looked at Ashi who is sitting on the couching covering herself with a blanket as she was sipping her chocolate milk from the feeder ..
Arnav : Ashi ... ( He called his daughter glancing at his wife who came there with a glass of water for him )
Ishita : How was your day at office ... You got late today ..
Arnav : You know how the traffic gets slowed down  due to rain .. ( He sighed folding his shirt sleeves as he sat on the couch as he touched Ashi's forehead only to find  temperature ) Ishita She is having temperature .. Did you check ?
Ishita : ( sighed ) Ask Madam .... How she returned back from school today ... She came drenching herself in rain .. And now she got cough and cold ... Does this girl ever listens to me
Arnav : What ? Ashi  You know know right ..it's not good to stay in rain ... why did you do that ... and What is the Driver doing there ..
Ashi :  Paa... Ashi lobes Rain ... And you know Paa ... Ashi makes a dost too ..
Ishita : Yes .. Your daughter makes a friend too while playing in the rain .. So what is the name of your Friend ..
Ashi narrowed her eyes as she  tapped the side of her head by her fingers ..
Ashi : Jaah ..I forget to ask her name .... but she so sweet .....like Angel ..... Ashi's angel dost ..
Arnav : Don' t  tell me .. She has been referring some Stranger as her  Friend... What is happening Ishita .. How careless the Driver can be .. This is how responsible He is... I serously needs to think..
Ishita: Don't react on him ... what would he do if your daughter sneaks out of the car .. Don't you know how she is..She can't stop herself if she starts talking ...such a talkative baby she is .... and Mohan tolds me ... that he tries to stop her but whom does she listen ...and if he says more ..she threats him of complaining to you about him ... Choriye nah bachhi hai .. koi nahi ..
Arnav : Ashi this is not good .. Have not we have said you not to speak with strangers .... Not Everyone is Good Bachha ..
Ashi : But Paa .. She is good .. Angel Dost .. ( She sneezed )
Ishita : Ok .. Ok .. We got it she is your angel Dost .. Now Come here little ome ( She picked Ashi in her lap ) You are going to miss school for sure .... Come let me give you the Syrup ..
***************
Arnav was working on the laptop as Ishita handed him a cup of Coffee ...
Arnav : Thank you .. Ashi slept without having the dinner ....
Ishita : I will give her milk ..don't worry ..  She got cranky due to fever ..
Arnav : But Ishita I am not in favor of what happened today ...  You should be more careful towards her ..She is a kid ...Not a Common Kid but ASR's only heir ...there would be people who will find their own  benift  by using her .. Hope you can understand What I am trying to say ..
Ishita : Arnav .. You cannot judge people without knowing them ..Not Everyone is Bad
Arnav : I don't trust People Easily .. You know that ....And Specially not when it comes to my family ...  Excuse me .. ( He said as his phone started ringing, He picks up the call  and walked out toward the poolside to attain the call ) Yes ..I can hear you Mr Mehra
Ishita let out a sigh, who is going to make him understand ... Trusting People is not bad ....Years Back Arnav had win the trust of her father and that is why today He is standing running the empire then why can't he trust people ... He is just concern about his family .. He is right ... There are people who are actually opportunist ...

Khushi : Thank You Buaji ..... it's refreshning ( sneeze)
Buaji : Tell me One thing where are you lost ? What are you thinking ...
Khushi : You know Buaji .. I met someone today .. Precisely a Kid .... She makes me remind of someone .. ( She closed her eyes as she opened it ) HIM ... she resembles so much of HIM ..
Buaji : haye re nand kishore ... Beta .. You love him so much don't you .... I still can't believe how someone can do so injustice to such a beautiful girl like you ....
Khushi : We don't have any control in our heart .. Do we Buaji ..I tried to move on listening to everyone ...but ...I cannot .. I still don't get where I went wrong that He left me unattended in Alter .. If He had any problem with me I would have easily walked out ...But All he did just left in silence ... There was no trace of him .... and then after so many days ..we got to know that He is not going to return back ... He has started a new life ... (she wipes out her tears ) After so many years I got the courage to came here to face him ..
Buaji : Do you know where does he lives ? Where you are going to find him in such a big city ...
Khushi : Buaji ..He has became a big name now ...  He is no more the person I have fallen in love with ... He is no more the person I thought of spending my life with .. Humare Rishte ka .. Humare Pyaar ka Koi Vajood hi nahi hai unke liye ... ( She closed her eyes letting out a sigh as Buaji pulled her in her embrace )
Buaji : Ro le .. bachhi ... Cry Hard.. It will reduce your Pain ...

Khushi closed her eyes as she tied up the thread around the oak tree when she meet Ishita there ....who was also tying the thread ... Ashi scrunched her eyes ..
Ashi : Achi wants to tie too ( she jumped , as she hold the two thread of Ishita and Khushi's together and knotted it together making them gasp  out )

Khushi : Anjali Di .. I am fine .. I have came here at the temple ... Will be going back soon Don't worry ... haan .. ( She said as she felt her heart suddenly paced up faster ...and she could feel it throbbing louder ...)
She keeps the phone away as she placed her palm in her chest ... Why she suddenly she felt He is around her ..... He is near her ...
She turned around as she couldn't stop herself walking towards the stairs ..as she locate someone standing near the edge of stairs facing his back towards her ...
She could not stop herself as she pushed away the people blocking her way ...
She could feel her heart throbbing against her chest .. her breathing get uneven ..she gulped the lump forming inside her throat before she placed a palm on his shoulder making him turned around ..as Khushi's eyes went wide as before she could understand anything she felt her eyes getting blurred as the whole world spinning around her ... As the Thaal she was holding in her hand flung in the air ......with the vermillion spreading over them filling her partition ..and she couldn't help herself as she loose her balance and before she could fell ..She felt a strog grip around her waist ...
And There Her Eyes met the Chocolate Orbs ...
Khushi : Arn..Arnav ji ... ( She whispers before she loose her conciousness in Arnav's arms who was shocked to see the lady in his arms ....after so many years )
What she is doing here that too in Mumbai ...
