No one's POV

As soon as Shivika leaves, everyone starts laughing and not being able to conceal it for any longer.

Shivay (smiling) - You know exactly how to crack a deal, Rahul

Rudra (surprised) - Bhaiya...

Rudra goes to his bhaiya and hugs him, while Shivay hugs him back. Both of them have followed the rules for the past 20 years, but not anymore.

Rudra (emotional) - Do you know how much I missed you?

Shivay (cupping him) - So have I, Rudy...

Dhruv (smirking) - Dad... please be mature... the way you guys are hugging... it seems your relationship is more than friendship... (winks) if you know what I mean...

Shivay and Rudra immediately let go realising what Dhruv says and then they start laughing, remembering their moments.

Shivay (smiling) - He is just like you....

Rudra (smiling) - Thank god, I don't want him to be like Saumya... I already have Rumya who is a know it all...

Shivay (annoyed) - Don't say anything about Saumya or Rumya...I thought Rumya was your favourite...

Rudra (smirking) - She is, but this Dhruv reminds me of myself... and that's why sometimes I like him...

Dhruv (smiling) - I already know I am your favourite dad ... and you know what dad, I am not as boring as you...

Ansh (laughing) - Nice joke...

Dhruv immediately gives a death glare to Ansh but Ansh ignores it

Rudra (emotional) - Bhaiya, I have missed you a lot...

Shivay (upset) - Same Rudra, you know the fight has been affecting us a lot... and it took me a lot of courage to not hug you or talk to you...

Rudra (upset) - I know bhaiya, but this is my fault... if I didn't stop bhabhi from consoling Saumya... then this wouldn't have happened... and you know bhaiya, I lost my courage today... I had to hug you... I know how upset you are about your business... and I knew I had to console you...

Shivay (smiling) - It's not your fault Rudra... and about my business... I can always try again to increase profit in my business... but thanks to you Rudra, I no longer feel sad about the loss... I feel happy... as this loss bought my brother back to me... and Saumya to Anika...

Rudra (shocked) - What?

Before Shivay could explain it to him, someone walks into Oberoi mansion and shouts for Shivay.

Shivay (smiling) - I will explain later... for now... let's go out... he is here...

Shivay comes rushing outside and hugs the man while Anika hugs the female.

Anika (smiling) - It's so good to see you...

Lady (smiling) - Same here Anika, I told this laad governor to take me to meet you... but he was too busy in his business... to take me anywhere.

Any guesses on who the couple is?

Guy (annoyed) - You again started, you saanka devi...

lady (annoyed) - I was only saying the truth...

Anika (smiling) - Ok...Ok... Khushi, thank you so much for coming...

Khushi (smiling) - You are most welcome Anika... now tell me where are the kids?

Anika (smiling) - Shivika, Ansh, Aditi...

All the youngsters come out and so do Rudra and Saumya.

Rudra (smiling) - Arnav...

Rudra goes towards Arnav and gives him a friendly hug, while Saumya gives Khushi a hug.

Note: Khushi & Arnav don't know anything about the separation in the Oberoi mansion

Khushi (smiling) - It has been so looong...

Arnav (annoyed) - Stop exaggerating Khushi... we saw them a month ago...

Khushi (annoyed) - I mean, it has been so long since we saw the kids... last time we saw them... was when they started the boarding school... that's a really long time...

Voice (upset) - mum...

Ansh's POV

After taking blessings from Khushi aunty and Arnav uncle, I was hearing their cute nok jhok when a beautiful girl steps in while shouting for her mum. Is she Khushi aunty's daughter... she is so pretty... the last time I saw her... she was irritating me... but now... she looks so pretty. Did I talk too soon?

Girl (smiling) - Hello uncle... hello aunty...

She comes towards mum and dad and takes their blessings while mum and dad happily give it,

Mum (smiling) - you have grown so much... Arushi...

Arushi (smiling) - I know right aunty when I met you... which was only last year... I was short and now I am taller

Then Arushi goes towards Saumya Chachi and Rudra chacha to take their blessings.

I love her smile and the way she is so cultural... mum, dad... I think I found your daughter-in-law...

Guy (smiling) - Hey Aru... won't you introduce me?

Arnav uncle and Khushi aunty immediately start to feel a little uncomfortable seeing him. Wonder why...

Arushi (smiling) - Oh yes sure... aunty, uncle... and everyone... this is my fiance... Prem Malhotra.

What? She is getting engaged... no... no... how is this possible? He is so ugly...Maybe I spoke too soon.

Arushi (smiling) - And this is why we are here... actually, we are getting married next week...

Mum (tensed) - You are only 20 Arushi... why so early?

Arushi (smiling) - Because we love each other a lot... we have been in a relationship for around 2 years now... and he proposed to me 2 months ago...

Me (annoyed) - Just because someone proposes to you... it doesn't mean that you have to marry so instantly...

Everyone's eyes are on me and I realise that I said that out loud. Oh god, help me. Arushi slowly approaches me and then glares at me. Why am I getting scared?

Arushi (smirking) - Aren't you Mr kadva karela?

Me (shocked) - Karela... and me... yuck... I am too handsome to be called that...

Arushi (smirking) - Oh shut up kadva karela, you are ugly as... anyway, who are you to interfere in my life? As far as I know, you are no one...

How dare she? She needs to learn to respect me... or I will not spare her.

Khushi aunty (angry) - behave Arushi... or the consequences won't be good...

Arnav uncle (upset) - Shivay... Rudra... can I talk to you in private?

Uncle, chacha and dad leave towards the study room while mum, chachi and aunty go towards one of the bedrooms. Even though, chachi and mum don't talk... they would pretend that there is no issue between them in front of outsiders. No offence Khushi aunty for calling you an outsider. Anyway, as soon as the adults left, Arushi and Prem start romancing each other, while Dhruv made that vomiting face and Rahul just laughed seeing him.

Me (smiling) - You both have no chemistry...

Arushi (annoyed) - What do you mean?
