Maan entered the Raizada Mansion and looked around. It looked so posh and lovely. He was so excited that he was at last going to meet Jalebi today. Today, he will know if his gut feeling would be right. Today, he would know if a part of his life, that was tainted, had dark shadows would go away from him. He felt so high. He became impatient and left Geet and hurried through the entrance.
Geet, had never seen Maan so restless. She knew not to stop him so, she took the pleasure and of course little pain of bringing in the flower bouquet for Khushi and gifts for her sister in law.
Maan entered and shouted JALEBI, JALEBI, ARE JALEBI BAI WHERE ARE YOU???
As though wound by a magnetic thread, his voice pulled Khushi to the entrance. There, she saw a man who looked so handsome, all powerful and lovely. Khushi walked upto him. As she neared him, she felt complete, protected, loved and cherished. A part of her brain was confused. How could she feel this to a complete stranger? But heart told her, he was not some stranger but someone very close and important.
The moment Maan saw Khushi, he felt it. The strange pull, the strange feel of protectiveness swept through him. Her eyes, nose and face, looked so familiar. Maan was incapacitated looking at Khushi. He so wanted to hug her and tell her that he was her bhai but then he waited.
As Khushi walked to him, Maan just looked at her. Khushi looked up at Maan and their eyes met. That instant, both felt like they were complete now. The lost part of their lives have come back.
Arnav was very curious at the way Khushi ran to the entrance. He followed her and saw a man standing at the entrance of his house and staring at his wife. His eyes gleamed in the light and it showed so many emotions fleeting through it. Arnav knew too well that expression as the one of hope and love at finding something that you missed for so long. But who was he???
Geet entered behind Maan with the flower bouquet and stood few feet behind him and Khushi and observed the scene in front of her.
Maan : Jalebi bai, How are you?
Khushi : Maan Bhai…. I’m fine.
They were not able to speak any thing more. Yet, their eyes spoke volumes.
The moment she said Bhai, Arnav was relieved. Both Maan and Khushi were joined by Arnav and Geet. Geet patted Maan at the back and said
Geet : What happened Maan?? The sight of your sister, made you forget me?
Maan : Ha ha ha…. Dekka Jalebi, she is jealous.
He then looked at Geet and said.
Maan : How can I ever forget you Geet, you are me. U are part of me and I breath in and breath out with you and for you.
Geet looked up and smiled at Maan.
Arnav was floored. What a couple they were. Totally happy and hopelessly in love with each other. He admired Maan. Khushi was happy looking at the couple and then started to tease them.
Khushi : Are Bhabhi., Kya hua????? Maan bhai is again making you blush??
Geet and Maan came out of their trance and Geet answered.
Geet: Jalebi???? Wait till I catch you blushing one day with your hubby.
That wiped the smile out of Khushi’s face and arnav was too quick in noticing this. He then stepped in and said
Arnav : “ Then I can help you with that Geet Bhabi”
Though he had many questions as to how they know each other? Why is she calling him Bhai? He did not ask her. She was happy at their presence and that what mattered to Arnav.
To say Khsuhi was surprised was an understatement. She was literally feeling dizzy. Was that Arnav who spoke?? The same person, who hardly opened his mouth?? Laad Governor???? It was only then that Maan and Geet noticed Arnav.
Khushi, cleared her throat at Arnav pointedly and then introduced them.
K : Bhai, Bhabhi, this is Arnav Singh Raizada, mera pathi. And Arnavji this is Maan Singh Khurana mera Bhai and Geet Singh Khurana mera Bhabi.
Arnav shook hands with Maan and both hugged each other
A: Welcome both of you. At last I get to see the great Maan Singh Khurana, the BADE BAHADUR of Construction Industries.
At the mention of Bade Bahadur, both Maan and Khushi looked up shocked and looked at each other.
Maan then smiled at Arnav and said “ And at last I get to see the Textile King, the enigmatic, ASR. What a place to meet ?
And both of them laughed together.
By this time, Geet pulled Khsuhi to her side and asked her “ Kya hua Khushi, you look extra beautiful today? The saree is lovely on u. Did Arnavji select it for u???
Khsuhi blushed crimson red at this.
Arnav looked at her blushing and his heart skipped a beat. She was looking so lovely.
They all went inside and the function started.
Maan was so sure that Khushi was his guddiya but then, he was waiting for Armaan to confirm the same. He wanted to know what happened to her after she went home with the stranger and how she ended up to be Mrs ASR. He saw how her smile vanish at Geet’s comment and how Arnav covered up the same. There was something fishy. For someone who eloped they were not doing justice. His little Guddiya is very precious and he will see that she is as Happy as her name throughout her life.
By the time the function started Khushi had introduced Geet to everyone in the family. Khsuhi was so happy that she had someone to say hers today amidst this crowd. Khushi’s heart kept telling her that Maan was her bhai and she was determined to know how he ended up in Delhi and what about her dadima. She decided to ask Geet first about Maan. But by the time they were together, the function started and Payal called Khushi to bring down Anjali.
Admist all this, Three pairs of eyes were following Khushi all along. Maan just looking lovingly at his sister, Arnav looking protectively and possessively at her and one more pair filled with lust and anger.
Shyam, couldn’t take his eyes off Khushi. She was looking all the more beautiful and lovely. Her beautiful eyes, full of love and innocence were sparkling today. He decided that he wanted her. His body was filled with so much lust and possession just looking at her and he formulated a plan to get her.
Anjali walked down along with Payal and Khushi on either side and Geet behind.
She was so happy today. She liked Geet immediately as she was just like her Khushi, a girl filled in with so much life and happiness.
As Anjali settled on the seat, all the rasams started.
A few girls started dancing and then pulled in Khushi along with them.
Anjali, Payal, Geet and all of them clapped hard. Arnav looked mesmerized as she started dancing. Maan was enjoying himself looking at his sister dancing and winking at Geet.
Shyam’s lustfull eyes following the beauty swinging to the song as he stood beside Anjali.
The song started:-
FEMALE--Bole chudiyan, bole kangnaHaai main ho gayi teri saajnaTere bin jiyo naiyo lag da main te margaiya--CHORUS--(Le jaa le jaa, dil le jaa le jaaLe jaa le jaa, soniye le jaa le jaa) –--FEMALE--Aah aah aah aah, aah aah aah(Bole chudiyan, bole kangnaHaai main ho gayi teri saajna) - 2Tere bin jiyo naiyo lag da main te margaiyaLe jaa le jaa, soniye le jaa le jaaDil le jaa le jaa, hoKhushi danced gracefully to the song. As the male chorus started, everyone was shocked seeing the handsome lad dancing.

Maan just excused himself from there and went to attend a call.
Arnav was busy with his sister and was being teased by her for wearing sherwani and dancing for the song. Unknown to all of them, Shyam’s eyes were following Khushi all along.
The moment she went out to get the flowers he followed her to the pool side. He cornered her on the pool side.
S: Kya Khushiji?? You look so happy today?
He neared her and she felt so angry.
K: What are you doing here? Move away.
S: What am I doing here.? I am here to be with the girl I love. To spend some time with this lovely lady.
So saying he held her hand tightly.
Khushi started to panic and tried pushing him hard.
K: You, dirty scum. What do you think of yourself. Leave me.. right now. Or else.
Shyam lost his cool. She was making it difficult for him.
S: or else? What will you do? Will u scream? Try to run?? No way. NO one is there to help you. Your darling Arnav is busy upstairs tending to his sister and your scream will not reach any one’s ears. Better don’t fight me Khushi ji. I know you also need this. How long are you going to deny me???
Khushi tried her best to push him away.
K: Move away from me. If Arnav finds out he will kill you. Leave me. I’m warning you. I belong to Arnav and its better for you to go away.
But he was determined to finish what he had started today. He was bored of chasing her all the time. He need to have her. He started sliding his hands on her arms and was about to rip her saree. Khushi struggled and started screaming the moment his hands touched her pallu.
Shyam was enjoying it until a iron like fist kept his hand on his shoulders and thundered.
M: Leave her now.. U Dirty Son of a bitch.
Shyam moved aside and said still holding a struggling Khushi, said “Who are you?? Why should I leave her?? She is mine. He then laughed madly and asked. Oh she has a new man in her net now?????
Khushi started to sob at the way this man was talking about her.
Two heavy fist knocked at both his eyes on the same time. The sound was so thunderous that Khushi was scared. She looked up to see both Maan and Arnav standing near each other and glaring at the wriggling man below. Khushi head started spinning at the happenings and lost her balance. Both Maan and Arnav rushed towards her and caught her shouting “Khushi, Guddiya!!!!” the last thing that she knew was Maan calling her Guddiya and she lost consciousness.
