After Khushi's death, Raizada Mansion lost its charm whereas Madhumathi is on cloud nine as Gupta properties will automatically belong to them as being the only blood relatives of Shashi Gupta.
Arnav don't want to stay in house as it reminds him of his Cookie. So he left to London to complete his studies there. Following Arnav, Aman also left to London. They stayed with Khuranas to complete their studies. Nikhil remained alone in RM because elders refused to let him go as he has one year to complete his school. They decided to send him after one year. Reluctantly Nikhil agreed for it. So after completing his tenth standard, Nikhil left to London along with his Dadi as she don't want to live in India without her grandchildren.
For years, only three people resided in RM. They used to visit children every month for a few days. Only those are the days they are happy in otherwise their gloomy life.
Manorama is sad as she can't get Khushi as her bahu. But Madhumathi who observed Akash and Payal's closeness convinced Manorama that Payal can be her bahu and she will get Gupta property along with Payal. So as usual for her greed she agreed for it.
Madhumathi's POV
I started going to office to learn business tactics which requires in future to handle Gupta textiles. I thought to take over business but according to will, I have to wait for few more years. I got to know from Mr.Khanna that till Khushi reaches 21years of age, Gupta textiles will be handled by Arun. After that Khushi can take over. As, Khushi is not alive, properties automatically will come to me. So I have eight years to learn all about business but Arun is not helping much in learning business. Every month, I get money for my expenses but I need more.
Akash wanted to complete his studies in abroad but due to his mother's pressure, he studied in India. He and Payal joined in same college. Now Akash and Payal loves each other and want to marry. Manorama is ok with it as she will get Gupta property.
Manorama married her daughter Vedika to a doctor Sameer Rathore. He is not much wealthy but her daughter loved him and later she eloped with him when Manorama is against their marriage. So to keep up her reputation, she again married her daughter to Sameer in front of the whole world. Only a few knew about their eloped marriage.
Manohar as usual a silent viewer in the changes occurring in their lives. But he has a fear that Manorama may not look after Payal and ill treat her if she doesn't get property. Because he knows that property may or may not belong to Payal as the is not known completely to anyone. They are building castles in air without knowing complete truth. If the will is not in favour of Payal, God only can save her life from Manorama if she married to Akash.
After 8 years
Arnav, Aman and Akash - 24, Payal and Nikhil - 23 and Vedika - 27 years old.
Khurana Mansion - London
Morning - 7:00 am
A man in mid twenties enter a room which looks little girly. There he saw his baby sleeping peacefully snoring, occupying most of the bed with her weird sleeping position. He sat there admiring her. She is pretty in childhood like a Barbie doll. But now she is a beautiful woman whom most of the men around her admire her and some even stalk her. This made him more protective towards her. He arranged an army of bodyguards for her. Earlier he used to be with her in college but now he is going to office as he have finished his studies and started his own fashion house and named it as AK ( Arnav's Khushi) designs. This girl here is the reason of his existence without whom he can't imagine his life. Eight years back, he nearly lost her but due to God's grace she is safe. Now here she is away from the place where no one can harm her and he makes sure of it. They are away from their home land where she was believed to be dead but in real she is alive in flesh and blood in front of him in this foreign country.
He started caressing her hair while thinking about the past how she suffered a lot from her birth because of that greedy lady who is her blood relative. He is so lost that he didn't notice the other person who entered the room and observing him for quite sometime. But he is lost in his sleeping beauty. He got startled when he heard a voice from behind.
Person 2: Oye majnu... You are supposed to wake her up not to dream about her.
Person 1: Shut up Aman. I am waking her but before that you came.
Aman(Person 2): Ha..ha I am seeing what you are doing. Anyone with eyes can clearly say that you are daydreaming Arnav.
Arnav(Person 1): Don't irritate me in the morning itself. Till now it is very peaceful here but you disturbed it.
Aman just shrugged his shoulder and sat on the bed and caressing the girl's face sleeping on the bed calling her softly.
Aman: Chutki wake up. It's getting late. Remember you have a seminar today which is very important.
The girl slowly woke up lazily stretching her hands up nearly missing punches to Arnav and Aman's faces and rubbing her eyes like a baby.
Girl: What Bhai, you disturbed my dream where I am in chocolate world which is very beautiful. Everywhere chocolate even the castle I am living in is made up of chocolate. I am eating chocolate as much as I wish without that grumpy man disturbing me.
Arnav: What the... Khushi I am not grumpy and any way to whom I am explaining, the girl who never thinks anything beyond food especially chocolate. I don't know how you remain so thin even after the large amount of food that enters your body every few hours.
Khushi hugged Aman and showed her tongue teasingly to Arnav.
Khushi: You are just jealous because you can't eat food as you wish in the name of health and diet.
Arnav: Don't know how you are becoming a cardiologist who doesn't care about the amount of calories you take.
Khushi: Don't relate my study with food. At least I am saving lives of many people unlike you who use his business man brain and torture people with that sharp tongue. In your presence, your employees shake like a leaf praying for their life. Don't know how many people will become your target today. God only save them.
Arnav: I have to be strict to get the work done otherwise they become lazy.
Khushi: After you create disaster, my sweet Bhai has to handle everything.
By saying this Khushi kissed Aman's cheek who was witnessing this Tom and Jerry holding his head. Arnav who saw her kissing Aman blurted out without looking his surroundings.
Arnav: Cookie you kissed your Bhai, then what about my morning kiss. Won't you kiss me.
'Nannav at least look at your surroundings before talking. Poor my virgin ears.'
Arnav turned to see Nikhil entering room. Nikhil came into the room and sat beside Khushi wishing her good morning.
Arnav: What is wrong in this I asked my girlfriend to kiss me not someone else's girlfriend.
Nikhil: I know you both are in relationship but my Pari is not shameless like you to kiss in front of everyone. Look how she is blushing in the mere mention of kiss.
Pari I don't know how you will bear this shameless man for your whole life.
Blushingly Khushi: I don't have a choice Nikki Bhai.
Arnav( serious): What do you mean that you don't have a choice. It means if you have a choice, you will choose another man.
Khushi (teasingly): Maybe.. who knows.
Arnav clutching her forearms shouted you are mine... only mine. I will kill anyone who dare to eye on you. Khushi hugged Arnav tightly and tried to calm him.
Khushi: Annie I am just kidding. I don't want anyone. I just need my grumpy man.
Arnav: Don't you dare joke again on this matter and hugged her tightly.
Aman and Nikhil shook their head like these two never change. They fight like Tom and Jerry but can't live without each other.
Aman and Nikhil: If your morning romance is over, get ready we are getting late and ran from there before the lion make them his prey.
Arnav shouted: Wait you both
Khushi: Annie leave it.
Arnav: Ok if you say so but I need my morning kiss.
Khushi pecked his cheek.
Arnav: I am not a puppy, kiss me properly.
Khushi: Stubborn man.
Khushi peck on his lips before she retreat Arnav deepened the kiss until they need air to breathe. After composing himself.
Arnav: Now go freshen up. You are getting late and he left from her room to give her time to get ready.
