They came back home. Everyone was siprised seeing them back, they just went to the airport and now 1 hour later they came back.
„Arnav bitwa? Kya hua? Did you forget something?" asked mami.
Arnav didn't reply. Khushi couldn't stay here anymore and ran to her room crying. Payal followed her.
„Nannav? Muskaan kaha hai?" asked NK.
All family members realised that muskaan was not with them.
„Chotte?" asked nani shocked.
Arnav looked at her.
„Where's muskaan?"
Arnav didn't say anything, he wanted to leave but akash stopped him.
„Bhai. Kahan hai musk-"
„Akash i don't know." interrupted arnav.
„What do you mean?!" asked nk.
Arnav told them the whole story. Nani started cyring. All of them got worried.
„Ayaan..go to your room." said arnav.
„But das if you need something or if you found out more then please tell me." said ayaan.
Arnav nodded and ayaan went to his room with nk.
„Arnav bitwa.." started mami.
„I have a clue."
„Kya maa?" asked akash.
„Muskaan got kidnapped..just like you. And anjali bitiya isn't calling us anymore. I feel like.."
„Manorama..please." said nani.
„No sasumaa! Damaji kidnapped arnav bitwa..and now..our princess."
„Nahi mami. I don't think that shyam kidnapped her. He wouldn't dare."
„Arnav bitwa you know what a psychohe is."
„I know mami..but..i just want to know if muskaan is fine. We'll find her. And please don't talk about her infront of khushi."
All of them nodded and arnav headed to his room.
„I WANT TO GO HOME!"
Muskaan was yelling and screaming at shyam but it didn't bother him.
„I WANT TO TALK WITH MOMMY."
„SHUT UP!" yelled shyam back and scared muskaan. In the next moment shyam started laughing at her.
„Otherwise my wife can hear you."
„Your wife?"
„Shyam ji.."
They both looked at anjali who was smiling at the little girl. She didn't knew who she was but muskaan did. One day khushi showed her a picture and told her something about her aunt. Muskaan smiled at her and hugged her.
„Aree.." said anjali smiling.
Shyam was scared that muskaan tells her that she's arnav's daughter. Anjali would freak out if she'll know that shyam kidnapped her brother's sister.
„Kaun ho tum?" asked anjali muskaan.
„Main..actually.." started muskaan.
„Rani sahiba..she's shivaays daughter."
„Kya? Kaun hai shivaay?" asked anjali confused.
Shyam didn't know what to say.
„Arre..my friend shivaay. He came here from london with his daughter. He's getting divorced and he asked me to look after..priya."
„Priya? Accha..toh tumhara naam priya hai?" asked anjali cupping muskaan's face.
Muskaan looked at shyam and he gave her a dangerous face. Muskaan got scared and nodded as a yes.
Arnav opened the door and saw khushi crying in payal's arms. Payal saw arnav and stood up. Khushi looked at him and wipped her tears away.
„Khushi, take a rest. If you need something i'm here for you. Theek hain?" asked payal cupping her face.
Khushi nodded and payal got out of the room.
„Thank you payal." said arnav.
Payal gave him a little smile and closed the door.
Khushi stood up. And wanted to get out of the room.
„Where are you going?" asked arnav.
„If you don't look for her, i'll do it." said khushi and opened the door. Arnav closed the door again and pinned her back against the wall.
„Pagal ho gayee tum!?" said arnav angry and squeezes her wrist.
„Haan main pagal ho gaya hoon!" said khushi angry.
„I've gone mad because my child has been kidnapped! She's alone with god knows what kind of people. I just want her back. I want my girl back." said khushi angry yelling at him.
„I ALSO WANT HER BACK DAMNIT!" yelled arnav and made khushi jump in fear. He tighted his hold on her wrist more and more.
„What do you think? That i wanted this to happen? You think i'm not feeling as if someone is taking my breath away? Khushi since the moment i didn't meet muskan's eyes i felt as if.."
„Enough. Don't talk as if you care." said khushi with her red eyes. Arnav gave her a dangerous face.
„I CARE DAMNIT! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER! SHE'S MY BLOOD! NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HER! AND IF YOU AGAIN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT I WILL-"
„Arnav ji you're hurting me." said khushi trying to get out of his hold.
„Arnav ji please."
Arnav let go of her wrist and just looked at her. Khushi looked at her wrist it got red from his tight hold.
„How could you khushi. You really think that i don't care for my daughter?"
„You're not looking for her! You are here in your room. You have everything you need..but muskaan is somewhere outthere. Alone. Or maybe with some men. She's scared, she's crying..she wants to come back."
„Stop it khushi STOP IT NOW! You're making me mad. You're talking like a psycho! What happened to you damnit?! We'll find her, just keep calm." said arnav and tried to hug her but khushi pushed him back.
„You don't understand me. Arnav ji she's 4 years old..she's a little baby." said khushi with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Arnav wipped her tears away.
„Khushi, she'll be fine." said arnav trying to calm her.
Khushi opened the door but before she could leave arnav's voice stopped her.
„Where are you going?"
„Muskaan's room." said khushi and left without looking at him.
Arnav didn't stop her. He wanted her to stay alone for some time. Of course he understood her feelings. Even for arnav it's not easy, but he's stronger than khushi.
„chalo priya, you have to go to sleep now." said anjali.
„Can i sleep with you? Please?" asked muskaan with her puppy face.
Anjali smiled at her and nodded.
„Of course angel. Come."
Anjali laid muskaan on her bed and laid next to her. Shyam entered the room and saw them.
„What's going on here?" he asked.
„Woh..she didn't want to sleep alone. So i told her that she can sleep here." said anjali.
„Lekin rani sahiba.."
„Please uncle.." said muskaan.
Shyam gave her an angry face.
„Theek hai." he said with an annoyed tone.
In shantivan arnav opened the door to muskaan's room. He saw khushi standing next to her bed with muskaan's favourite soft toy in her hands.
Arnav stepped in and stood behind her.
„Khushi?" he called her with his soft voice.
Khushi turned around and gave him a smile which made arnav sad. On one side her eyes were red from her crying, but on the other side she still wanted to smile.
„Arnav ji..she always needs him to fall asleep. You remember the day you bought him?"
Arnav nodded.
„She was so happy." said khushi looking at the little teddy. After some moments khushi broke the silence and held arnav's hand.
„Arnav ji...i'm sorry for my behaving."
„Khushi don't be sorry. I know what you're feeling. I'm feeling the same trust me." said arnav cupping her face.
In the next second khushi hugged arnav tight. Arnav hugged her back. Both of them started crying, why is this happeneing to them? To their little daughter?
„Arnav ji..please bring her back." said khushi still hugging him with her eyes closed.
Arnav stroke her hair and kissed her head.
„I promise khushi. Jab tak hum zinda hai..you all will be safe. I promise." said arnav.
Suddenly his phone started ringing. He broke the hug and answered the phone.
„Hello?"
„..."
„Hello? Who's speaking?" asked arnav.
„Sahle saab." said shyam on the other line smirking.
Arnav's blood started boiling. Why is that bas**** calling him?!
„What do you want shyam?!"
Khushi's eyes got big hearing his name.
„Kuch nahi..i just wanted to ask if you all are ok..i mean..khushi ji..ayaan..aur ha of course your little princess muskaan."
Arnav knew what that meant. He kidnapped muskaan. But why is he calling him? What did he want?
„Arnav ji.." called khushi him to break his thoughts. Arnav gave her a sign to take her phone and record the conversation between them. Khushi took out her phone and arnav put his phone on loudspeaker so that khushi could also hear him.
„Where is muskaan?"
„Don't worry she's okey. She didn't eat anything but now she's sleeping."
„HOW COULD YOU!"
Arnav calmed down, he didn't want to yell at him. Otherwise the others would hear him.
„What do you want?"
„Very simple. At muskaan's pooja 4 years ago khushi ji told rani sahiba that this house doesn't belong to her. It's only your and her house. So..rani sahiba and i had a plan. Your parents gave you the house because your their son, but what about your sister."
„COME TO THE POINT DAMNIT."
Shyam smirked and continued.
„Sahle saab..if you're not anymore, shantivan belongs to my wife."
Arnav's eyes got big. What did he mean? If he's not anymore?
„What?" asked arnav.
„Haan..so. I knew that you would say no. I mean who wants to die like that. But what if i tell you that if you're not ready to say yes..your daughter is going to be the one who's going to die."
Arnav felt like someone would take aways his breath. Khushi just looked at him and knew that something was wrong.
„Kya hua sahle saab? Doesn't your daughter's life mean something to you?"
Khushi looked at arnav. She started crying put closed her mouth with her hand. She walked around the room thinking about her daughter.
„Shyam..don't you dare touch my daughter."
„Arre! I'll not touch her don't worry. But only if you tell me right know..yes or no."
Arnav looked at khushi. She stopped walking and looked at arnav. Both of them had tears in their eyes.
„Haan." said arnav.
On the other line shyam was smiling. Finally..arnav would be gone forever.
„I'm ready to die for my daughter." said arnav still looking at khushi.
„Good sahle saab. I just want you to leave khushi and shantivan. Come to my house, there i'll give you muskaan. You go back home, with me and then we both will give this all an end."
„Theek hain." said arnav and hung up.
Khushi got angry and worried at the same time.
„Arnav ji how could you say yes to that person! He'll kill you now!"
„Khushi.."
„No! Please!"
Khushi cupped his face.
„Arnav ji how can i live without you? You really want to leave like that?"
„Khushi listen.."
Khushi started crying and hugged him tight, like never before.
„Khushi listen..i'll not die. Shyam is a psycho and an idiot."
Khushi looked at him.
„We recorded the whole conversation that prooves that he kidnapped muskaan. And that he want to kill me. We also know that muskaan is in his house, that means that di is with her. Nothing is going to happen to muskaan."
Khushi smiled a little and wipped her tears away.
„Khushi now you have to do something for me."
„Haan arnavji."
„I want you to meet di."
„Kya?"
„Listen to me carefully.." said arnav and told her his plan to save their daughter.
