Early in morning..
Laxmi Nagar..
"Garimaaaa.. Shashiii.. look who is hereeee.. Arnav babua!" Buaji shouted standing at the door.
"Come in Arnav babua!" Buaji said showing the way to him.
Garima and Shashi came in the living room and smiled at Arnav.
"What brings you here Arnav bitwa?" Shashi asked.
"Is everything alright? Did Khushi do something wrong?" Garima asked worried.
"Everything is alright.." Arnav replied, "I just wanted to pack Khushi's clothes.. she needs it.."
"Hayee NK.. Titaliya always forget something or other!" Buaji hit her forehead.
"It's not her fault Buaji.. she also didn't know that it was her marriage yesterday.." Arnav said.
"I'll go and pack her clothes in bag.." Garima said and rushed to Khushi's room.
"Hayee NK.. Arnav babua don't mind ahn.. I was having my breakfast.. I will go and finish it.. Ok?" Buaji smiled sheepishly.
"Yeah sure.." Arnav nodded.
"Arnav bitwa.. come and sit here till Garima pack Khushi bitiya's clothes.." Shashi invited Arnav to sit on the couch with him.
Arnav sat beside him.
"I didn't have time to say thank you.. I was just so emotional with your decision yesterday.. I know you weren't ready for the marriage.. my request to you to stay away from Khushi bitiya compelled you to take this decision.. If I hurt you with my words, I'm really sorry Arnav bitwa.. I admit as a father, I became selfish and only thought about Khushi that time.."
"You don't need to say sorry.. I understand what you were going through.." Arnav said.
"Arnav bitwa.. My Khushi is a innocent yet mischievous girl, she blabbers a lot, she forgets things too, she always put herself in trouble unknowingly, she always wish good for others, no matter how much she's hurt.. she always forget her pain to spread happiness around her.. She never stays quiet in one place.. she's like a butterfly.. always flying here and there.. So, if she commits any mistake.. do forgive her Arnav bitwa.. Don't scold her much.. Although we treated her like our own daughter, in tough times Garima and Jiji always made her realize that she's not our blood daughter.. Khushi never spoke, but I know during those times how much she cried and missed her parents.. So I plead you to give only love and care to that girl.. she's has gone through much pain in life but she always carry that beautiful smile on her face.." Shashi said emotionally.
Arnav heard everything his father in law said with complete attention, after all he was speaking about Khushi.
"Your Khushi is my Khushi now.. So don't worry about her uncle.." Arnav said with his half smile.
Shashi smiled nodding his head.
Garima arrived with Khushi's bag, which Arnav immediately stood up and took it from her hand.
"I'll get going.. Bye uncle.. Aunty.." Arnav said.
"Bye bitwa.." both replied smiling.
"Hayee NK.. You should call them Sasur and Sasuma now Arnav bitwa!" Buaji teased him.
Arnav smirked.

Shantivan..
Arnav reached home and went upstairs to his room. He opened the door of his room and found Khushi still sleeping peacefully.
He took slow steps towards her and sat on the bed staring at his Baby Angel.
