Arnav : who is scolding you pappy ? ( he walks inside the room from the pool side garden where He was having his morning coffee after returned from his morning work out )
Ashi: mumum papai ...

Arnav : Khushi stop it she is a kid ..Everyone does naughtiness in their childhood ? I believe you have also done the same .. Why are you over reacts all the time .. Chill ... You are always behind my daughter .. Huh .. sometime it really irritates me .. come Ashi let me bath you ..
He picks ashi in his arms as he heads toward the washroom leaving a dumb- folded khushi behind
*****************************
Ashi was playing with khushi’s mobile when her phone started ringing .. she looks at the caller Id before disconnecting the call and continue with her game ..
Ashi : uhff I can’t even play game .. ( she flared her nose hitting her fist on the pillow as she picks up the call this time .. )
Ashi : hello ... Why are you calling so much nani ..ashi is busy ..
Garima : is this how you talk with elders Ashi ? where is your Mother ?
Ashi : mumum . Busy hai ..

Ashi: kyu bolu ..that we are going to Holi Party ... bahut maja karenge .. eeehh .. You miss nani .. but I don’t miss Nani ..
Garima : ASHI .. You are getting spoilt day by day .. Go and call Khushi
Ashi rolls her eyes before she looks at arnav walking out of the washroom wrapping a towel on him ..
Ashi jumps out of the bed and rush to Arnav extending him the phone
Ashi : phone ... apka .. ( she rushed inside the washroom pushing arnav) hato .. jo ki susu ayi hai ..
Arnav rolled his eyes at his daughter antics .. before he receive the call not checking the caller id..
Arnav : Hello ... ( He said glancing at her daughter who just closes the washroom door behind)
Garima froze at the spot hearing the voice . She has heard the voice somewhere
Garima : k..hushi ... Khushi .. ( Arnav just look at the phone ... Fuck!! He grits his teeth cursing under his breathe when his eyes fell on his wife walking inside carrying their daughter breakfast .. )
Arnav smirks at her, and handing her the phone mouthing her about her phone ..He walks away
Khushi : Hello
Garima : khushi .. khushi .. is it you ? where are you are you fine ? who was on the phone ? Khushi ? ( khushi glance at her husband who was currently picking out clothes for him to wear while their little daughter walks out of the washroom rushing towards her father )
Khushi : haan maa .. boliye ..you were saying something ?
Garima : khushi where are you ? and whose voice did I heard on your phone ? who is that man ? why did I feel I have heard him somewhere ?
Khushi ( sighed ) : Maa where would I have been ? I have brought ASHI for a Holi party arranged by our office .. and He is some of my colleague who is looking after Ashi as I went to visit washroom
Garima : Colleague ? What is he doing with your phone ? I thought .. I have heard him somewhere ...
Khushi : what you thought Maa ? ( khushi gulps looking at her husband and daughter who seems to be care less after putting her into Hardles )
Garima : leave it Khushi .. I just want to make you remember that hope you know that Your alliance has got fixed .. and you have some responsibilities towards the family you are going to marry ..so Don’t do anything that can make me feel low in-front of them )
Khushi : maa why are you saying this ? Why do you think I will make you feel shame ? Did I do anything that makes you lower your head in front of the society ?
Garima : Should I have to explain you ? Did you do anything according to my wishes .. if you would have listened to me ..today you won’t have to face the consequences being a SINGLE MOTHER and ...then your decision regarding this case ...
Khushi closed her eyes and let out a sigh as she glance at Arnav who was also present in the room ... She does not want to extend the topic as she does not want Arnav to get the hint of the discussion .. If He get to know ..then ... He would bringing down the hell all over here for questioning on his daughter’s birth ,,
Khushi : can I talk to you later ... Bye .. ( she disconnects the call and sighed)
Arnav : what was your mother saying ?
Khushi: nothing much .. just was asking about the where about ?
Arnav : are you sure you are not hiding anything ?
Khushi : why would I ? by the way what was the need for you to receive the call ..Huh ? Maa got suspicious ..
Arnav : huh ..,it was your daughter ..I didn’t even see your mother’s caller Id and even I give dam if she gets to know the truth .. Biwi ho tum meri haq banta hai mera tumpe .. and Ashi pe bhi ..
Khushi : ( sighed) ASHI ,..
Ashi: I didn’t do anything Mumum ..Nani .. was illitating me .. so I give it to papai ..
Khushi : how many times did I asked you not to talk like that about her ... She is your Nani Ashi .. and she is elder to you ..
Khushi glared at arnav who just muttered under his breathe while Khushi just sigh, How much she tries , but she can never change Arnav’s disliking toward her mother ... and his not liking her is justified wasn’t it after what her mother did during Ashi’s birth .. and it continues till now ..though Khushi have not reveal every details of the happenings to Arnav but their daughter having a big mouth will always complains about her mother to Arnav ...
*****************************************************
Khushi bends down to the blessing of Ayush before she applied colors on him wishing him A Happy Holi ..
Khushi : Happy Holi Papa ..( ayush smiles applying the color on her cheek wishing her same)
Ayush : Happy Holi .. Beta.. So Ready for the party .. ( He asked looking at ashi who is right now standing holding her father’s hand )
Ashi grinned but then started pullig arnav’s hand as she is desperate in going to attend the holi party ..
Ayush: seems some one is too excited !!
******************************************
AR Holi Party ..
Khushi glares at Ashi as soon as they enter the Venue where the Holi has been arranged for the AR Employees
Khushi: don’t do anything that makes me use my hands on you ..in front of all the people around you .. That would be definitely a sight for all the Employees working here to witness their Boss daughter getting beaten around .. Hope you don’t want that ..
Ashi pouts hiding behind arnav as Arnav groaned ..
Arnav : Khushi stop it .. let’s Go Inside ... ( He said while picking Ashi in his arms as they walks inside the venue .. )
Arnav greets some of his Business Associate while Khushi and ashi walk ahead spotting Aman. while Ashi squeal in Joy
Ashi: Amieee .... ( Aman smiles looking at the little toddler as He bend and colors the tip of her nose making her frown) aww ( she groans while rubbing her palm on her nose)
Aman : Happy Holi Khushi .. ASR have not come with you guys
Khushi: He is there talking with some of his associate . ( Khushi instantly hold ashi’s hand who was about to run towards the kids area in excitement) NO ... Ashi .. stay with us.. ( Khushi took some colors and applied on aman’s cheeks ) happy holi ...
Aman : same to you !! ( He applied the same while Ashi makesa face before aman said) khushi .. don’t be so rude .. Go and play Ashi but don’t go far away ... ( ashi grins and rushed away towards the play zone) don’t worry There are securities all around here ... she is safe..
Khushi : I know.. And tell me one thing when you are getting married ? Your friend has been settled and see you ( Aman bites his inside lips )
Aman : What are you talking about ? I have no plans of getting married ..
Khushi: Why ? Do you think She would be happy knowing that You are spoiling your life grieving over .. ? haan ?
Aman : ( gasp ) Khushi .. what are you talking about ?
Khushi: don’t try to fool me okay ? You know very well about whom I am talking ? Anjali ..You love her isn’t you ..
Aman : how do you know ?
Khushi : arnav can miss it out ... But not me ..I have seen the same pain reflecting in your eyes for Anjali which I have seen in Arnav’s eyes .. why didn’t you confess your love for her ?
Aman : that’s past .. and I was never in the suitor list for anjali .. I was a corrupted officer and ASR will never think to give his sister’s hand to me .. SHYAM have everything that a brother wants to see in their Sister’s groom .. and I ..
Khushi : Shyam .. We better not talk about that bustard ... Wish you would have shown some guts of confessing your Love then may be Anjali would have been alive today ..
Aman : It was one sided .. apart of it Anjali have already accepted the alliance of shyam and she was happy with him .. It was all that matter ... I was contend seeing her happiness but it was short lived .. Never have thought the person who holds anjali’s hand to protect her from all the evil will tarnish her in this way ..it hurts me Khushi .. I still feel goosebumps when I remember the scene of the day when We find Anjali’s body near the road side all tarnished ...
Khushi closed her eyes letting a sigh before Khushi opened her eyes hearing a familiar voice ..
“ Lavanya “ She whispered looking at Lavanya who was surprise seeing Khushi .. There was a pin drop silence spread over there ..
Aman clears her throat breaking the silence as Arnav too came there by now .. and lavanya smiles at him before picking fist of color in her hand and applying it on him ... greeting him happy holi only to make khushi fume
Arnav : where is ASHI ?
Khushi : playing around .. ( Arnav just nodded his head while lavnaya break the silence)
Lavanya : never thought of you both to be together ?
Khushi : Why ? Were you expecting a chance on Arnav ? ( she spat directly only to earn glare from Arnav )
Khushi shrugs her shoulder while lavanya lowers her eyes ... as Arnav and Aman walks away to meet their business associate
Khushi : Thanks
Lavanya : huh ?
Khushi : You were a great support for Arnav ... Really He is lucky to have such friends like you and Aman stood beside him .. Apart from my personal dislikes towards you .. .. I am really thankful to you and I mean it .. I do ..
Lavanya : You know I was so angry over you after we discover that you betray on ASR .. we have seen ASR changing with you ...... But then what you did .. I was so angry on you that the girl for whom I have left ASR could do such thing to the person .. I don’t know how you look at our relationship .. it might not be worthy in your prospect .. But He is a true friend of MINE .. and trust me I don’t leave anyone who would hurt my Friend
Khushi: And I won’t tolerate anyone eyeing my HUSBAND ..
Both the ladies laugh out whole heartily .... before Khushi’s eyes fell on Ashi who was pulling a little boy’s hair
Khushi : this girl is gone today ..ASHI
