First Day in Delhi : 

The flight lands in Delhi airport. Arnav & Khushi collect their luggage and come out of the airport. They are welcomed by Aman. Arnav introduces Khushi to aman and gives the instructions to aman and heads towards the car.They reach Shanthivan.

Khushi is surprised seeing the house.She is too shocked to even take a step forward. Aranv realises that khushi is still in the lounge and walks back to her. 

Aranv : Are you planning to stay here outside?

Khushi : Huh? arnav is this your house i mean its really beautiful. this garden and the rose plants. I am really amased that a person like you have garden in ur home.

Aranv : My mom used to love gardening so even i spend my free time gardening. Now come on lets go inside.

The Door is opened by  HP.

Arnav : HP this is Khushi and she will be staying here from today. Make the guest room ready for her.

HP : Ji Bhaiya. Namaste Khushiji.

Khushi : Namaste HP Ji..

Aranv : Get ready and come for lunch.

Arnav heads towards his room and khushi is guided by HP to the guest room. Khushi goes to the guest room and then heads to the shower. After half an hour she gets ready and comes to kitchen. She sees HP preparing poori. She joins him to help him but initially HP refuses then later on she convinces him and they both start cooking. 

In the mean time arnav gets ready and makes few calls to aman and comes down only to see khushi happily cooking and talking to HP as if they were lost friends who have met recently. Khushi sees aranv and goes to him.

Khushi : Aranv actually can i make a call to amma. I wanted to speak to her. 

Aranv dials her house number and gives the phone to her. Buaji picks the call.

Buaji : Hello Kaun hai Nandhakishore?

Khushi : Buaji its me ur sankadevi. and she starting crying.

Buaji : Are titaliya.. How are you? Did you land safely and where are you now. And she starts calling garima & Shashi

Khushi : I am fine buaji. Just missing you all. I have reached their house and buaji is really a very big house. Now  we are going to have lunch. So i thought let me call you.

Garima : Khushi, we all are fine here. Take care and dont do anything wrong there.Here speak to ur dad.

shashi : Khushi i know you will start crying now. but just remember take care of ur health and do ur best their and help arnav in his job.

Khushi : Ji Babuji. Where is payal. 

Shashi : She is gone out. I will ask her to call her when she comes back.

Aranav :Khushi lunch is ready.

Khushi : Ok Babuji take care of ur health. I am going to have lunch now. 

And cuts the call. She sits on the sofa and starts crying.

aranv : Khushi . dont worry its just a matter of 3 weeks then i can arrange a trip to lucknow or i can also bring them here. Now cheer up & come lets have lunch and we have very short time so we need to start working from tomorrow. 

They have their lunch. Then aranv takes khushi and shows the house.They enter his room. Khushi immediately runs to the french windows seeing the inbuilt swimming pool surrounded with garden.

khushi : Wow Aranv this place is really beautiful

Aranv : This is the place i spend when i am angry or when i miss my parents. Taking care of these plants has become my hobby. I feel i am with my mom when i am here.

Khushi : Hmmm.. can i sit her for some time.. its really nice place.

Aranv : Sure..

Aranv gets his laptop and then starts working. Khushi starts taking to the plants and arnav admires her. Arnav gets a call from lavanya

Arnav : Yes Lavanya tell me.

Lavanya : ASR are you in delhi. We need to discuss regarding the new designer for upcoming show.

Aranv : Lavanya i have already selected the right candidate. Infact she will be joining us from tomorrow.

Lavanya : Ok ASR. are you coming to office today?

Aranv : No lavanya. I will come tomorrow to office.

Lavanya : Ok bye ASR.

Aranv is almost done with checking his mail and now is just relaxing thinking about the show.Its almost tea time so HP comes to give tea to aranv & Khushi.

Aranv : So khushi i hope now you are comfortable here.If incase you want something tell HP he will do the needful.

Khushi : No aranv i am fine just that i am missing my family. By the way when is anjaliji returning. I miss them also.

Aranv : They will be returning tomorrow. 

Khushi you will be joining AR from tomorrow. And you can start you work after the meeting and formal introduction to the employee. Lavanya will be with you incase you need any help. Ofcourse Aman,me & Akash will also be there.

Khushi : Lavanya? I mean i thought she will be angry with me. You know what i mean. I mean we never had any formal talk as such and she was really annoyed the other day in Sheesh Mahal.

Aranv : Its alright khushi she is rude at times but good from heart.

Few hour passes on and they speak a lot knowing each other. Khushi notices that apart from what other call him ASR being angry young man, he too has a soft side Arnav inside him. Khushi now is comfortable with aranv. 

Khushi : Aranav tell me about your parents.

Hearing this aranv goes back to rigid face and then just tries to avoid this topic. Khushi decides that its better not to ask him more and make me mad so she keeps quiet and thinks that she will ask naaniji or anjaliji. They move to the living room since it was almost dinner time.The diner was quiet. They hardly spoke anything. It was time to retire into their respective rooms.

Khushi : Arnav is there a way i can sleep in the living room instead of guest room. Actually i am scared of sleeping alone.

Aranv : Oh ok in that case you can take my room. I will sleep on the recliner and you can you the bed.I would not mind.

Khushi is shocked to hear this and at the same time starts thinking she & arnav in his room. no way.

Khushi : N..No no Arnav its ok that not needed i will sleep in guest room itself.

Aranv :Are you sure khushi?

Khushi : Yes aranv.

Aranv : If incase you need anything just come to my room.Gudnight.

Khushi : Yea Sure.. Good night 

They move towards their respective room and try to sleep. While Khushi is just thinking of her new job role in her life and prays to her Devi Maiyaa to give her the strength to keep up the standards of AR and doses off to sleep waiting for the new bright day.
