Krish, sitting beside her, shouted in appreciation &in happiness also, "Thank you, Daddy!"
"Don't talk randomly." Khushi immediately reached out to cover the little one's mouth and signalled him to shush by putting her index finger up to his lips. "It's not good to call others Dad randomly "Why?" Krish blinked, looking at her with slightconfusion, "Wasn't it Daddy who just helped us, so we didn't get bullied by those
Bad people..?"Khushi suddenly paused because of his remark. She didn't know why krish would
treat this man as his father, nor did she know
the explanation for this good deed by Arnav.
She gave a gentle cough, looked at Arnav apologetically and then talked to krish in a soothing voice, "This gentleman is not your
dad. He gave us a helping hand out of goodwill when he saw us being bullied by those people."
She poked her son's nose tenderly and smiled. "So you shouldn't call him Daddy anymore, okay?"

Arnav stared out of the window,seemingly lost in thought, until he heard this remark from Khushi He snorted and replied coldly, "I made a move only for thesake of the kid. Don't get me wrong and take my goodwill as charity or think that you can get it at anytime and anywhere for free."
Tilting his head he sized her up for a while and then folded his arms, turning to the front,
"I certainly don't want to be misunderstood as having some relationship with an improper woman like you."

Obviously arnav had heard those curses from akash who had called krish a Illegitimate child. This comment touched a raw nerve in Khushi making her face turn cold also. She was only just feeling appreciative for his kind help but now she felt that he was no different from akash and payal who saw her as being lowly as a grain of dust. "Stop the car." She didn't want to say
another word and, without emotion, signalled to stop.Arnav stared at her in confusion.watching her drag krish out of the car after it stopped. "What are you doing?"
Khushi took out her suitcase, fished out a 5 thousand rupees note and threw it downon the seat. Thank you for your momentary
goodwill and here is the taxi fee. See you nowhere. After throwing her words at him she held krish's hand, pulled up her suitcase and strode to the platform to call a cab.giving no time for Arnav to even think about it.

Arnav stared at the 5 thousand rupees note and squinted with a rather dangerous look. Never had he been treated so abruptly by women as this. Who would dare give him such attitude? In any case, he had never suffered from any slight.
He clenched his teeth in resentment, threw the bank note out of the window and waved his hand , "Drive on."

After khushi got out of Arnav's car, she didn't go directly home but called a cab to her grandma's home. The yard hadn't changed a bit in all the years that had passed and remained the same as in khushi's memory, however grandma had aged a lot. Khushi walked quickly.putting her arms around the her son's shoulder, andsuddenly somewhere in her heart was stirred
with a warmth which left her eyes welling up.
*Grandma, I missed you so much..."

"Khushi, u came back?!!! I missed u so much..." The old ladypatted her back gently, talking in a soft voice and smiling calmly. "I wonder how much you have been suffering in the outside world." Grandma already felt joyful when she sawher granddaughter, moreover she couldn't be happier to see the adorable and clever little krish. The old lady had been through so
much in her life and knew very well what she was supposed to ask and what she was not.
Since her granddaughter did not seem willing to talk about the boy's origins, she didn't go into the detailsKhushi took a good rest at grandma's and then went out with krish to take a stroll. As she recalled some places that she had been when she was a little girl she felt excited and joyful, but she did not expect to bump into akash and payal who were looking for her as she walked to the gate of grandma's house.

She immediately took back her smile and stared at the two of them with a sharp coldness. I don't think I have anything more to discuss with you, and hope that you will never come to disturb my life again."

Coming here is not what payal wanted to do since she hated khushi so much that she would not imagine coming tofind her, especially knowing that khushi would have nothing at all nice to say."You thought that I want to come?"
Payal snorted, folding her arms with her lips twitching "It is dad who wants to see
you and he asked us to bring you home"Hearing it was that person's request. Khushi became silent all of a sudden She knew very clearly that she did not want to have anything to do with that family but she was yet to draw a line between them and herself, so she needed to make that clear to them.

Khushi stood there silently for sometime, then held krish's hand and climbed directly into their car. Everyone brooded over their own thoughts and no one said a word
In a short while the car reached the villa block and, looking though the car window,the scenery in the garden hadn't changed too much since she had left; but time passed by and "out of sight is out of mind. She could by no means face this family in the same.way as she used to do.

Mr. Shashi gupta sulking voice was soon resonating in the living room. He stood up and walked to khushi after seeing the boy she held in her hand and immediately glared at her. frowning. "I sent you abroad to let you reflect on yourself and your behaviour, but see what you have done! You bring a bastard back here!" He quivered with anger and pointed to krish who hid behind Khushi "I tell you! I will never accept him as the offspring of our Family!"

"I am not came here to settle down, I only came back asper my grandma request, whether you accept him or not . I am his mother and he is my son,the truth can't change ." And I am living for him..." And u don't worry about these all properties and your will .. I never want a single penny of u, I am living with my money and hardwork... I am here for only few weeks, then I will return back to aboard , U don't have to worry.,the day u closed doors Infront of me,when I time I needed your support most." As much as you hate me... I never had no emotions towards u people.."thank you, I am leaving... Said khushi dragged krish out of Gupta mansion.
