"U dint invite me only for shops " Khushi said with puppy face 

Laughing at her comment , he cared her hair and said " daughters dint need  permission to come to there own shops , it's yours own shop , I'll be more happy if u come without even asking me "

" I'm proud of u beta , " shashi said kissing her forhead.

"   I missed u all "Khushi said wiping her moist eyes.

"Beta why knocking the door , come inside from when did u started taking permission to come inside " shashi said .

Khushi came out of her father embrace wiping her mosite eyes , she sat straight wondering what he is doing her.

" I just saw it was family time babuji" Arnav said with small smile and gave side hug to garmai who stood when he came near her .
