The house was bustling with a new-found happiness, It had been three years. Three years of pure bliss for the Raizada Siblings. Arnav and Akash Singh Raizada with helps from their respective wives had made their companies reach heights. Dream Designs and AR had been doing great... Supporting each other through the competition and never even once had these competitive factors affected the relationship of a certain couple who was still as hard and deep in love with each other as they were Six years ago... Maybe even more now... Now that they were bond to each other for more than one life.

Anjali had established herself firmly in her profession, And in these three years had found heights she herself wouldn't have imagined she'd ever achieve, She... Like her brother had never failed to show the world the truest and the best example of where there's a will... There is a way.

Another ASR on the rise for the best they said as she continued passing milestones after milestones in order to achieve what she'd set out to achieve. She was now the best and the most demanded architect of the country.

Though there were days when she was fitfully busy through days and nights... The little princess of the Raizada Mansion had never missed her bed time stories or lullabies. If not her Mumma... One of her Mamis or her Masi would put her to sleep.

Little Ashia was exactly what her name signified... Hope!!!

Hope of a better life for her mother... A better future for Anjali. Hope for happiness for the family. She was their hope!! Anjali Raizada's Daughter-

"Ashia... Where are you baby?" Anjali called for her daughter

"Don't worry Di... Ashia is with Akash Bhai... He's playing with her. You get ready. It's almost time." Ahana said

Anjali nodded and resumed her seat in front of the full length mirror of her room. A girl started working on her eyes

"HP ji... Those flowers were for the staircase" Khushi said as she passed the pillar where Some workers were working with flowers

"Sorry Bhabhi... I'll correct everything in a jiffy" HP assured

Khushi nodded

"Everything is okay Shona... We have plenty of time. Everything will be perfect. Don't stress yourself" Arnav said holding her waist softly

"Plenty of time... The auspicious time is in three hours... And you're saying we have a lot of time?? It's Di's engagement for Heavens' sake Arnav Singh Raizada" Khushi said astonished at her husband's casual attitude

It was Anjali's Engagement today. With Dr. Randhir Vyas. An extremely famous neuro-Surgeon of the country.

Anjali and Randhir had met casually in a flight, A flight heading to Mumbai. Where Dr. Randhir was going to attend an emergency case, While Anjali was there for finalizing a project. The first meeting was brief... But they were meant to meet again.

Ashia Architectural firm had been entrusted with the responsibility Mr. Vyas' hospital construction.

Throughout the course of this project, Anjali and Randhir grew closer and closer

From friendship... To something unexplainable. A complex unnamed relationship.

Slowly... Very slowly, Something brewed. Their mornings started with each-others wishes and days ended with each-other's calls.

And they could finally name their feelings... But dare they do it.

"I don't know what... What to expect Randhirji. I know it's something much much more than friendship... It's, Dare I Call it love. I know.. Buried deep inside This Anjali.. Who's strong for the world... For her family, There's a girl who craves love... Who fears relationships, Because-" Anjali confessed one fine day

"Because she thinks like her past relationships... This one will also crumble... But may I assure you Ms,Raizada... Not all men leave their girls heartbroken... And those who do, Probably lose the most precious thing in their lives. For something materialistic. Anjali... We've known each other for more than a year now, I've seen you struggle to make a name for yourself in the society... I've seen you work harder and harder to prove that... Even if there's something that's missing in your life... You're capable of giving Ashia everything that she deserves.. I'm not Shyam Anjali... I'm not someone who'd abandon you just for the sake of some pieces of glass... Mistaking them for diamonds and, Losing a diamond like you... I'm not a business man Anjali.. But I know... I know I can't lose you... Not now, Not ever!!" Randhir said

Anjali smiled

"Just.. Know that I love you. I understand it's not easy to trust someone after whatever happened, I know... I know you need time, I'm ready to wait Anjali. Even if it takes the whole life. I'll wait." Randhir said

But Randhir didn't have to wait for long. Anjali confessed. Anjali accepted her feelings. Randhir was adored by Ashia... Their little princess.

Their cupid, Randhir called her.

Half the battle was won

But the other half was yet to be fought!

The women of the Raizada mansion had the greatest time of their lives trying to convince the Protective and Possessive brothers of Anjali Raizada

At a point of time, Even Randhir was dragged into the battlefield.

Huh!!

But the Aura Randhir carried.. Won every heart. Even a certain so called Heartless Raizada couldn't help but admire the man in his late thirties for his talent of winning people over

And so... Anjali was about to get engaged to Randhir.

Anjali decended the stairs clad in a beautiful lehenga specially designed by AR for Anjali

Every eye in the hall traveled to the stairs where Khushi was escorting a gorgeous looking Anjali to the Centre stage.

Arnav couldn't help but Admire the beauty clad in his designed Lehenga looking as stunning as ever.

Sensing an intense gaze on herself, Khushi's eyes wandered looking for the eyes heading her, When they finally found each other...

Ah the magical eye-lock. For a minute, The world stopped for three couples.

Payal-Akash

Khushi-Arnav

Anjali-Randhir

"Jaan lekar manogi? (Will you be satisfied only after killing me?)" Arnav asked Khushi when she came to stand beside him

"You're looking equally hot Mr. Raizada" Khushi said

"Thank you" Arnav said

"Kabhi nahi socha tha yeh kahani iss mod par aa jayegi (I had never imagined this story will reach this day)" Arnav and Khushi said in unison

"Par ab jo aa gayi hai... Bahut Khushi ho rahi hai (But now that it has... I'm really happy)" Arnav said

"Now... It's time for the rings to be exchanged" Said the host

The crowd cheered

And the Rings were exchanged

Anjali smiled admiring the ring in her finger

"Thank you" Anjali whispered

"Thank you." Randhir said

Ashia was settled between her parents as they took a family picture holding her from both sides.

"Di... Is looking so happy" Arnav said

"Yeah... Yeah she is" Khushi agreed

"Arnav..." Khushi's voice cracked

"Khushi... What happened?" Arnav asked concerned

"I'm... Not-" But before she could complete blackness overtook her senses

"Khushi...."

"She's fine Mr. Raizada. You can meet her now. She's conscious" Said the doctor

Arnav went inside the room where Khushi was sitting, A small smile playing on her lips

"How many times do I need to tell you not to overwork yourself Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada?" Arnav asked sternly

"Sorry" Khushi whispered

"You Okay Now?" He asked softly

Khushi nodded and hugged him

"What happened love?"

"Thank you Arnav... Thank you so much"

"Kya hogaya Khushi? (What happened Khushi?)" Arnav asked

Khushi took his hand in hers and placed it on her belly, Happy tears flowing from her eyes.

Arnav gasped, His hand began shaking as he looked at her for confirmation

Khushi nodded furiously and hugged Arnav tightly

"Thank you so much for completing me Arnav... Thank you so much" Khushi sobbed

"I love you" Arnav said

"I love you too" Khushi replied

"Isse zyada kuch nahi chaah sakta mein zindagi se Khushi (I can't ask for anything more than this from life Khushi)" Arnav said

"Arnav and Khushi" Khushi started

"Forever" Arnav completed
