Arnav was sitting in his study as he matched the latest photo of Aarav with the childhood photo of Akash.

Although DNA reports of Akash and Aarav were not out yet, but Arnav was sure that Akash was the father of the little boy. He had even talked with the DNA analyst Dr. Trivedi.

"It may happen Mr. Raizada that there is similarity between the DNA of you and your nephew", the analyst had explained,"but we would have the final say only after this report."

The sullen face of Akash after that proposal of Sheetal, came to his mind as he closed the album.

'I shouldn't have separate Akash and Payal.'

If he had known five years ago that Payal was pregnant with Akash's baby, he wouldn't have done it. 'Even Akash might not know about it', he was sure.

'How will Akash react if he comes to know?' Arnav was dreading the consequences, in fact he was even considering the option to keep it a secret.

Of course their were similarities to pinpoint between them. In fact Aarav was a copy of younger Akash!

From his reservedness, calmness to maturity, everything was similar between them, including their hobbies and habits, which were also shared by Arnav upto some extent.

But having no idea of Akash's past, none would be able to guess it, not even his family.

'Even if nobody guessed, will Khushi keep it a secret? Why did she even bring Aarav to me?'

That made Arnav to look at the file provided by the investigation agency. He had run a background check on Khushi a week ago and the report was sent but without much details.

There was no record of her birth, or her parents, or any extended family...not even Payal.

'Did something happen to Payal?' That's why Khushi might have brought Aarav here. The thought made him squirm.

'That means she raised Aarav single-handedly!' He had observed Aarav who seemed to be reared amid all the basic luxuries.

'But how did she get the money?' There was no trace of her income source neither any detail of her education qualifications!

'She isn't illiterate!'

There was no doubt that she was educated and civilized, even more than Sheetal!

'And more beautiful too!' A small part of his brain noted, as he smiled.

A beautiful mystery indeed, yet to unravel!

"Akash bitwa, you are my only hope now. Sheetal is very nice girl, you will become a darling son-in-law of Khannas!" Manorama tried to persuade him, for the marriage.
