Vikram's POV:

I barged inside Vijay's room soon after parking my car. He was on the call but I would careless.
" Who the hell was her?" I asked him pacing forth.
" What are you asking, Vicky? I can't understand. Please elaborate." He said  calmly. So, he still haven't received any news from bhabhi.
Maybe she's still in shock . That's why she didn't inform him.
" I am asking about the girl you asked me to pick up from the airport." I replied trying to get my emotions under control.
" Oh, that girl. It's Mr.Puneet Randhawa's sister in law. Niyati's sister. Why? What happened?"before I could respond, he jerked from his chair " I can't believe this. How is this even possible?" I hear him say.
" She looks exactly like Khushi. I can't believe it, Vicky. Rani send me the message and her picture now." He said astonished by it .
" Niyati was your college mate , right? Has she ever told you about her sister?"he asked me still dazzled by the resemblance of Khushi.
I don't want anyone to know about Niyati. Why does she even shows up ? She's one cunning manipulative vixen. Thank God I got saved by her brother before falling for her plan. Thinking about her, she did mention that she has a sister . So , I nodded. " She did mention it one instance . She also said that she's just like Khushi when I showed her khushi's photograph .
Who would have thought she will be exact replica of Khushi ? But I didn't tell him .
" Can't you make her stay at hotels or someother place? She's irritating and egoistic girl. This girl is everything Khushi wasn't. She's too much of herself." I demanded him straight away .
" I can't ,Vicky"
" What do you mean you can't? " I started pacing around his cabin keeping my temper in check .
" How can I ask Puneet and Niyati that when I was the one who suggested them to leave her in our house. It's just for two months. Don't make a fuss about it." He stated as my f it's nothing.
" What if my kids see her? They will think her as Khushi. I don't want them to get confused and heartbroken again. They already went through a lot. " I replied the seriousness of the situation.
" I will try , Vikram." 
His reply made me angry . So, I left the place .

Rani's POV:

I still can't believe that khushi is here. Though my brain says It's not khushi , my heart literally screams it's Khushi. I am more than confused. We all saw her dead body. If this is Khushi, she would have remembered us . How I wish Priya was here .
I tried calling her but no avail. Maybe she is on her way back. Arohi is living with her though Vikram doesn't want it. He agreed for Priya's wellness.
Now he's intend on getting her back.

I clicked the picture of Pari without any problem as she's still sleeping and sent it to Vijay , Rahul bhai and Priya. I also post it on family group in whatsapp.
She seems to be a bit cold so I took the comforter and covered her. I also adjust the ac's temperature.
I observed her closely   she slept in her clothes not changing to something comfortable . She's hugging a teddy bear tightly. It reminds me of Khushi. Not again. Sighing I got up and decided to leave the room.
" Di, please stay with me. I am scared." She said in her sleep while grabbing my arm. I stayed for a while and then I came out.
My parents ,my elder brother Ajay , his wife Anjali along with their daughter Khushi Jr came rushing inside the house.
" Where is she?" My mom asked me. I motioned upstairs. They all went to take a look at her and came down.
" Oh my god! It's really shocking. She looks exactly like her!" Anjali bhabhi said.
" I can't believe my eyes. I wonder what happens when Virat and Vishal see her? Poor boys. She's not kind and gentle like Khushi. She jerked my hand away when I tried to take her hand.may be we can send her to hotel" I explained the situation.

" Think positive. She might have got scared to react in that way. Don't speculate things ,Rani. What happened is happened. She's here because of your husband and your assurance to her family. You can't do that to her. She's your responsibility. What will she and her sister think if you change your mind? It's not our custom to ask out guest leave the house." My mom replied angrily.
" Yes, mom is right. I think Virat and Vishal will understand that she's not their mother. It's hard for them but they will definitely take it for they are Khushi's sons. " Anjali bhabhi said.

Pari's POV:

When I woke up, it's already night Damn, I slept almost 10 hours and my stomach started grumbling. Why di doesn't come to wake me up? I wonder for a moment before realising that I am now in India and in a client house.
It's half past ten. I had a bath and came down to see whether I can get something to eat though they all might gave slept.
Since the lights are dim , I took my steps carefully. On nearing the living room, I heard  sobs of two kids crying and stopped. I don't know why but I am unable to bear it . So , I stopped. They had their back towards my direction.
With my mobile lights on, I saw two boys around six years hugging eachother. I felt relieved that their  sobbing stopped.
My legs with a heart of its own started walking towards them. Suddenly, the lights are switched on.
There stood a woman who introduced herself as Rani. When I turned around to see the boys clearly, they are long gone. I am a bit disappointed for not seeing their face.
" I thought You must be hungry, cho er sorry Pari. So, I waited for you to come down " she said as she yawned . She then took me to dining table and made me seated.
She then warm up all the dishes in the Android oven and  started to serve me all the while smiling creepily.
I took a bite of Paratha and it's delicious. She's amazing cook. I liked it and gobbled three parathas quickly.
" Thanks for your meal and staying awake for me. That's so thoughtful of you. " I said as we walked towards the living room.
" It's not a big deal. Your sister would have done the same." She replied making me wonder how she knows my sister.
When I am about to ask about those two boys, a loud thud of heard. Looking at the direction of sound, we both saw Vikram tumbling with the vase he pushed down.
By the foul smell  coming from him, anyone can easily say  it.
" Can you help me carrying him to his room?" She asked me in gentle tone which I can't refuse. So, here I was. Putting one of his hand on my shoulders , I carried him and placed him on his bed. Since the lights are off,  I couldn't make out his room interior design.
He is one weird guy. When we are about to leave, I see the two boys come inside and switched on the lights.
" Mummy!" They said in unison and clinged to my legs.
I looked around the room and shocked to the core .

Niyati's POV:

I can't do any work without having Pari around. I am missing her terribly. She's the only beautiful thing this life has given me. My friend misunderstood me. My Father disowned me , my family rejected me . There are no one in this world to love me.
My husband well I don't know if his feelings are genuine. But Pari, she's as innocent as a baby and her love made me forget every hard things I faced in life.
I did everything for revenge. But now I want her with me whole life. She's my sister and no one can steal her from me.
" What are you doing still awake?" Puneet asked me .
" Thinking about Pari" I mumbled while sipping the coffee.
" You mean Khushi" he replied sarcastically.
" Whatever. " I shrugged off and stood up.
" Wait, this is for you. Happy anniversary ,wifey!"" He said as he gave me a bouquet of red roses and a box. Probably a jewelry. There was also a small card in it. Before I could say it back , he left.
" Whether you belong it or not, I love you Niyati. I don't know when and how. But I  really love you for what you are. Don't try too hard to became a bad pery for you are not. I will wait until my last breath. Just leave everything . We can start our life afresh."
His confession brought a smile to my lips. He's trying hard to mend my heart which has been shattered by Vikram and my own father. I can't forgive them for making me helpless. They're the reason I am what I am today.  If only they listened.
Khushi is my ray of sunshine. I wouldn't have sent her alone if I have known that I will miss her that much.
" Here, this is from Khushi" he appeared again and gave me a huge parcel.
I opened the package and saw it's a red saree with matching jewels. A small note was also sticked to the box. It said
" Di,
I know you and Jiju are pretending infront of me as a couple. I don't know what your problems are, but please know Jiju is a good guy and he loves you. Can't you see it in his eyes? Try to sort your difference . Please talk . I don't want my two favourite persons to be sad. I already booked a candle light dinner . Happy anniversary, di💐. Enjoy your day. "

" Shall we leave? "  My husband asked me . I took in his features and he looks dashing today. Like pari said, it's high time we sort out our issues.
