SS: With you...... "Hamesha" ||COMPLETED||

Part 46

Anjali stayed numb but Mami continued "I don't know if Chotte will ever forgive us but first you need to accept your mistakes yourself. If you still believe they're wrong then stop crying and leave them alone to live their own life. I won't let you or anyone hurt them anymore. My Arnav Bitwa is happy with his family, his children." She smiled talking about children "Looking at the way Arnav loves his children and his world revolves around them, I don't think Abhi is his child. The man who loves his children to this extent won't abandon his one child. It took me some time to accept but after thinking about your Mama ji's words years ago that after the childhood you both had Chotte can never do that. He can never abandon his child when he know how it feels. I accepted it long ago and after understanding the true face of Sheetal in all these years, I am sure about it. Therefore Anjali bitiya, I won't let you or Sheetal ruin my Arnav Bitwa's life again."

Next day

Arnav and Khushi was at home today instead of office to spend time with their children. Arnav was busy in playing with Anya and Palak and Ansh was busy with his video games. Others were admiring them from far, Khushi can see the longing in Nani ji's eyes for Ansh and Anya. She pokes at Arnav's arm and signals him same, they looked at each other for a while, silently conversing something before Khushi gets up and calls Ansh.

She takes his hand in hers before walking close to Mama ji and Nani ji and Arnav also comes there with Anya in his arms. Nani looked at them surprised when Khushi started introducing them "Ansh, Anya, She is your father's grandmother (Nani ji). Your great grandmother." Anya and Ansh looks at Arnav as if to confirm that and Arnav nodded in yes before continuing "And he is my Mama ji (Uncle). Your grandfather."

Anya looks at them with twinkle in her eyes but then looked at Arnav with confusion "But what about Nanu(Shashi)? You said he is our grandfather." Khushi chuckles before answering "They both are your grandfather but Babu ji is you Nana and Mama ji is your Dada." Ansh looked at them "So now we have both Nanu and Dadu?" Arnav nodded and Anya bounced in his arms to go down before holding Manohar's leg "Anya ke Dadu?" Manohar nodded before engulfing her in his arms with happy tears.

Ansh still looked confused looking at Devyani (Nani) "But what should we call her? She is your Nani, so what she is to us?" Arnav looked at Khushi who smiles in return before answering her curious son "Badi Dadi." Ansh finally smiled and touches her feet "Hello, Badi Dadi." Nani cried in happiness before holding him and showing numerous kisses on his face. She looked at Anya who happily came bouncing towards her.

Everyone around them were having happy tears in their eyes except Sheetal. Mami looked proud at Khushi and Arnav for the principal they have taught to their children. The way Ansh touched Nani's feet was enough to tell them, how the kids have been raised, pampered but at the same time with good manners.

They were still admiring the new bonding's when a curious Ansh another question "We have Nanu and Nani." He said pointing towards Shashi and Garima and then at Manohar "We have Dadu but Dadi?" He looked at Arnav for answer and the smile from Arnav's face get vanished. Manorma tries to step forward in happiness but stops in time looking at Arnav and Khushi. She looks at Anjali and Sheetal with disgust before running back to her room.

Arnav and Khushi looked at her and then at each other, from the time they have returned back, they have seen Mami ji's changed behavior and it's clear from her every action that she is regretting everything, badly. They sighed unable to decide anything at the moment and with a smile looked at kids before they tried to distract them with other topic and it worked.

It was just another usual day but highly unusual for few people living in Shantivan. Arnav was working in kitchen, without letting anyone enter inside except HP who was only standing beside him to pass him the things, he was asking for. Khushi was sitting in the couch placed in front of kitchen, near dining table and smiling along with Ansh who was sipping his chocolate shake.

All were looking at Arnav surprised, his hands was busy in working like a pro. Anjali, Nani and Mami remembers a similar scene like this of years ago. When he was trying to make Jalebi's for Khushi and messed whole kitchen with himself. Anjali wiped a tears from her eyes discreetly, looking at how much he loves his daughter. Oh yes, the ASR is not standing in kitchen for anyone but his daughter who likes pancakes made by her father more.

She demanded to have pancakes in breakfast and now that she have recovered from fever, Arnav instantly agreed and started making it for her. It may be surprising for everyone but for Gupta's and Khushi, it was a very common thing. So Khushi and Ansh are sitting casually with Anya busy in playing with her Nanu and Dadu, making them dance on her tunes, just like her father.

"Are you just going to sit there, gawking?" Arnav asks from Khushi who was busy in admiring him with a smile and a cup of coffee in her hands. "What can I say? I am enjoying the view." She smirked making Arnav to look at her with his lopsided smile and he smirked back, he was going to give her fitting reply but stopped himself on time, knowing everyone is around.

Arnav placed freshly made pancakes on a plate and walked into the dining room calling Anya who comes, jumping towards him. She squealed sitting on his lap before she started gobbling on her pancakes. Khushi also settle beside him, serving few pancakes to Ansh also as they all waited for their breakfast to get served.

"That view was nothing. I can give you many more views for you to enjoy but in our bedroom." Arnav whispered, discreetly in Khushi's ear who started hiccupping in next instant with her eyes wide. Arnav instantly forwards her a glass of water with innocent face but teasing glint in his eyes. Khushi glared back at him and he winked at her in return.

He rubbed her back, asking if she is ok for the eyes of others but he again whispered in her ears "Even I want to enjoy a view. How about we help each other?" Khushi smiles at everyone, conveying that she is fine but her hand gripped his arms, digging her nails deep in his skin. Arnav hissed in pain but acted nonchalant and smiled at her. They were distracted, when breakfast started getting serve and composing themselves they started having their meal.

Sheetal looked at the happy family in front of her and fisted her fingers, this is not going in the way she wanted. If this continues, the day isn't far when she'll loose everything. She can't let that happen, she needs to do something herself, she can't depend on Anjali anymore. It is clear from the incidents of last few days that Arnav keeps his family above everything, even his comes later now or may be don't matter at all.

She takes step back from the scene and walking away to her room. She needs to plan something soon before disappearing from her for forever like she initially planned after loosing this house. She pulls out her phone and searched for a long forgotten contact in her contact list. She smirked as she called on that number and planning her next move.

To be continued.............. 

P.S I feel we are getting enough of Anjali and Sheetal drama so before this story ends, little bit of Arshi romance is also necessary, right?
