Khushi is too excited today.. The 6 months wait is going to over today... Her Budi Dadi, Mrs Susmita Dasgupta, has told her few days ago that, today the Roy Chowdhury clan is coming here for Christmas celebration and Khushi is dancing and flying like a little butterfly and Madhu is chanting " Hai Bhagwan" almost all the time, watching Khushi jumping and running like a monkey all the time...

Dasgupta Mansion..

Early in the Morning..

Day before Christmas...

Susmita Dasgupta was very happy today.. After many years, her grandchildren are coming, along with them her friend Devi and the rest of the Roy Chowdhury clan.. Susmita looked at her son Arun who was standing in the garden having a faint smile on his lips.. Susmita sigh a little, she knew why his son's always gloomy face is adorning with the smile, because today Reshmi will arrive..

Susmita shook her head, what a fate Arun and Reshmi have... she knew just the way her son Arun is suffering, the same way Reshmi is suffering too.. In their hearts, they will always love each other and will never replace the love with anyone else, but they are too stubborn and egoist.. With a deep sigh, Susmita just hope, one day Arun and Reshmi will erase the "distance between their heart" and will be together.. She just hope the day will come before she closes her eyes.. Susmita's thought was broken when two little palm closed her eyes.. with a big smile she said,

" Who is here? My titli has come.. and why she is giggling like a bubble of happiness?" Susmita said while the smile never leave her face..

" Because.. I am happy today.. Today Allav will come." The way Khushi's eyes twinkle and she clapped her little hand, Susmita could not help but pinch her chubby cheeks..

" This year we all celebrate Christmas here? So happy.." Khushi jumps ups and downs on the little stool was placed there..

" Khushi.. You will fall and get hurt.. You are becoming so naughty..." Arun said coming towards them.. Khushi smiled brightly looking at her favourite uncle.. Did not Arun uncle is just like her own father, her real father?

" I will not fall down.. Uncle today Allav will come and I will meet him after 6 months.. We will play together..'" Khushi said smiling brightly..

" and what gift you have for your friend?" Arun asked smiling..

" Loads of gifts.. But I will not tell you uncle.. it's a secret..." Khushi giggle when Arun took her in his arms... He missed his Avantika and Arnav, but this little girl and her innocence somewhere made a place in his heart.. and Don't know why, Arun always feels that Khushi has certain characteristics similar to HIM.. Being selfless is one of them.. and that's why Arun feel connected with her so much..

Their little connected happiness broke when the guard announce that the Roy Chowdhury's has came.. Khushi wriggle in Arun's arms and tried to jump on the floor..
