Nani's eyes teared up remembering the times of arnav and anjali..But deep inside she felt really happy.
"Payal...Feed ur loving hubby also.." akash commented in between.
Payal simply gazed him.she is still upset with him.
Khushi:haa jeeji..Poor jeeju..Feed him also.
Payal nodded her head and fed him.akash gave a small bite on her fingers and winked at her naughtily which was unnoticed by everyone.he know that he's not gonna be forgiven so easily by his dear wife.

It was a jolly environment at the dining area.all finished their breakfast and retired to their works.nani asked arshi and nanya to take rest as they may be tired after the journey.mamaji went to AR and nani went to her room.

Payal felt a hand on her waist when she was folding the clothes in her room.
"I'm sorry.." akash apologised keeping his chin on her shoulder.
Payal shrugged him off and moved away.but he caught her hand and pulled her towards him.
"Payal..I'm really sorry..It was my fault..I shouldn't have made such a prank." Akash said with puppy eyes holding her closer.
Payal stared at his eyes.
"It's OK..But don't do such pranks anymore.." payal said with tears.
"Shhh.. payal i promise..I won't do this again..I didn't mean to hurt u...sorry.." akash felt really bad to see his payal crying.he cupped her face consoling her.
Payal hugged him placing her head on his chest.
"I can't bare to see khushi in pain..She's is my baby more than my sister.." payal said in her hug.
Akash:i know payal.. khushi is a baby sister to me also..Thank u payal.
Payal gave him a confused look.
Akash:thanks for giving me such a crazy sister.
Akash broke to a wide smile and payal too joined both tightly held in each other's embrace.
