Arnav stood shocked seeing the scene in front of him. Two little identical boys were playing in the room using PSP. Before he could say anything to them, he saw Lakshmi running inside the room saying "Meh". The boys looked at Lakshmi and then again concentrated on the game.

But Lakshmi ran inside his walk in closet and soon enough Arnav saw a little girl same the age of the boys coming out of the closet, running behind Lakshmi. Then the little girl  started playing with Lakshmi. Arnav was shocked would be an understatement. He couldn't understand what was happening.

Who are they? What are they doing inside his room? And most importantly why are they in his house? A lot of questions were running in his mind. Unknowingly a "What the" escaped his mouth. And that had its desired effect. The three little kids stopped whatever they were doing and looked at him.

Seeing him, their eyes widened and three of them came and stood in front of him in a line. It was then Arnav saw them properly. The three of them looked very young not more than five years. The two boys were identical with same features - Chocolate brown eyes, fair skin, high cheeks, all in all they looked like a mini version of his. Well did he just said that?

He then looked at the little girl. She looked so cute just like his Khushi. That made him smile. She also had the features like Khushi - Hazelnut eyes, fair skin, cute button nose, pink cheeks. Aww. She is so adorable like my Khushi. Khushi. Oh Khushi, I miss you. Well Khushi might be back by now right? Where's she?

As if God heard his prayers, just then Arnav heard the voice that made his heartbeat rise. Khushi entered the room calling... No. She wasn't calling him. She was calling... um them.

"Aru, Ayu, Ashi, bache, did you take ba..." Khushi trailed off seeing him. She stood at the entrance of the room shocked. She was staring at him without blinking her eyes afraid that she would blink and he would disappear.

Arnav looked at her with longing. He missed her so much in the last five years. Now seeing her in front of his eyes, he couldn't believe that she was real. Both of them stood in their place lost in each other's eyes. Time stood still for them. Their hearts were rejoicing their reunion, yet both didn't took at single step to move from their places.

Arnav looked at Khushi carefully. She looked different, in fact completely different. She was not wearing any Saree or salwar but a tight fitting jeans with a tank top and blazer completely looking modern, stylish and sophisticated. A wear that any businesswoman would prefer. There was no long set of bangles or heavy jewellery but a simple silver watch in one hand and a stylish bracelet in another. In the neck she was just wearing her mangalsutra and the AK pendent that he gifted her, paired with long silver earrings.
