All the guests were praising the decorations who were popular personalities of different field from politics to business to celebrities of Bollywood. 

PARTY VENUE DECORATION 

OPEN-DANCE STAGE

Payal dressed in a blue-pink-cream lehenga with kundan jewelries looked beautiful and clipped her hair a little leaving waist-length hair open, asked looking around: “Nice party organized...” 

PAYAL'S LOOK

Akash replied: “Hmm, but where Arnav and Khushi or any other family member..? Can’t see them around.” looking handsome in red sherwani and white pajama.

Samar said to others: “Hey I’m going to meet Tuli, see you guys later...” 

And he walked passed them to Tuli who was talking one of the guests, looking very pretty in lime yellow-pink-silver lehenga with her hair open reaching her mid-back which she curled at the end.

TULI'S LEHENGA

Samar tapped Tuli’s shoulder; she turned around and smiled at him: “Hi Samar, looking nice in green kurta.” 

As he looks down at his light-green kurta and gave her a cute smile with ‘Thank you’ and got into chatting.







Yuvi dressed in maroon and off-white sherwani, glanced at Samar-Tuli happily chatting said: “Well it seems Samar found someone for company. But where is Arnav, I still can’t see him..?” 

YUVI'S LOOK

Mayuri looking sexy in neon orange-green-silver lehenga, spoke getting angry now: “Yaar where the hell is Arnav..? We’re looking around for him from last half-an-hour but banda dekhe toh sahi!!”

MAYURI'S OUTFIT AND LOOK

Payal: “Mayu calm down...”

Lavanya was roaming her eyes around spoke: “I’m sure that Khushi has held him up somewhere... I know she is scared of me because she knows Arnav loves me and she can’t hold him away from me for very long.”

Anjali kept a hand on Lavanya’s shoulder said smilingly: “I’m sure Arnav would be mesmerized seeing you in this dress just like the engagement day.” wearing a sky-blue sari with silver stone design and looking sweet.

Lavanya smiled at her Di than looked down at her red-golden dress which she had wore and got reminded of the looks Arnav gave her when he had seen her that day of their engagement. He was lost looking at her in his favorite color and was sure today would be the same... not only he would get lost in her but also be reminded of their sweet memories together. 

LAVANYA'S DRESS

Aman said: “But guys were are they...? All guests here but I can’t see any of the family members.” Was today dressed in black-silver sherwani.

AMAN AND ANJALI'S LOOKS

Right that moment the lights went off and all the guests started looking around in confusion. Anjali frowned saying: “What happened to the lights?” and looked around in confusion with others.

That was when among all the darkness and commotion came a soft voice making all turn to look in the direction of where it came....

“Sukh dukh jhoothe
Dhan bhi jhootha
Jhoothi moh-maaya
Saccha mann ka wo kona jahaan
Prem ratan paaya
Prem ratan paaya...”










The spotlight focused on the stage where a group of female dancers in same red lehenga started dancing as the music started making all curious.



“Ni ni sa sa re re sa sa...
Payo... Payo...
Laayo... Chaayo
Aayo... Gaayo...
Payo...”

As the curious audience watched a girl in white-golden-red lehenga stood in middle with back to them as the chorus dancer moved aside. As singing the turned around, dancing gracefully...

“Saiyan tu kamaal ka
Baatein bhi kamaal ki
Laaga rang jo tera
Hui main kamaal ki

Payo re payo re payo re payo re payo
Payo re payo re payo re payo re payo re..
Prem ratan dhan payo (payo..)
Prem ratan dhan payo (payo..)
Rut milan ki laayo
Prem ratan..
Prem ratan dhan payo maine (payo..)
Prem ratan dhan payo”

The guests were mesmerized by the dancing beauty, the gang looked at confusion as to not knowing who she is while Samar and Tuli cheered more. The girl smiled at them and continued dancing and singing making the audience goes crazy as she did the signature of the song.









“Kya main dikha doon
Yaa main chupa loon
Jo dhan hai mann mein
Yeh bhi na jaanu
Bajne lagi kyun sargam si tann mein
Khushiya si hai aangan mein”



























Sana danced smiling as the glow of happiness reflected on her face as it clearly showed how much she meant the words of the song. She looked at the way on side her happy family was and then her eyes clashed with her husband’s who was looking at her lovingly and she sang the next lines for him with her cheeks going pink and a shy smile on her lips.









“Chehre pe aaye meri rangatein gulaal ki
Laaga rang jo tera hui main kamaal ki”

With renewed zeal she danced with the grace and elegance which captured all the attention of audience but she least cared about and danced to her heart’s content.


























“Payo re payo re payo re payo re payo
Payo re payo re payo re payo re payo re..
Prem ratan dhan payo (payo..)
Prem ratan dhan payo (payo..)
Mann gagan par chayo
Prem ratan..
Prem ratan dhan payo maine (payo..)
Prem ratan dhan payo”






















Sana looked at Abir singing the next lines conveying her feelings, what he means to her and what all she gained in her life because of him. Abir smiled blinking as if saying that she too means the same to him as she danced to the music... 

“Mujhko the ghere jitne andhere
Ho gaye door sabhi
Sab sapno ki
Sab rishton ki paa li keemat bhi
Prem ko main samjhi
Kisi ne na ki meri
Tune jo sambhaal ki
Laaga rang jo tera hui main kamaal ki”




















Ryan jumped seeing his Mom dancing as Hiya and Zayn clapped seeing their aunt dancing as Sana gave them a bright smile and danced with the grace of a professional dancer doing the signature step of the song...



“Payo re payo re payo re payo re payo
Payo re payo re payo re payo re payo re..
Prem ratan dhan payo (payo..)
Prem ratan dhan payo (payo..)
Aaj mann bhar aayo
Prem ratan..
Prem ratan dhan payo maine (payo..)
Prem ratan dhan payo”

Sana and chorus dancer started backing away as the music started fading away as the lights dimmed and they made an exit from the stage as the song ended...









“Chaayo.. Aayo..
Laayo.. paayo..
Paayo”








The audience broke into loud applause and whistles at the mind-blowing performance and then Manav black-white sherwani with red-golden stroll walked up on the stage with a mike in hand along Arpita in red-orange sari. He greeted everyone by addressing the guests as he spoke on mike: “Good evening everyone to the very last evening of 2015. I’m your host and thankful that you all graced this party with your presence... I hope you all liked the welcome performance.” as everyone cheered and Manav continued, “So a big round of applause for Sana for giving us such mind-blowing performance...”

MANAV'S LOOK

Arpita smiled as she took the other mike: “Good evening everyone, I know you all might be wondering why we have ‘Traditional Indian wear’ as theme of New Year party... well trust us we have attended enough western theme parties staying in England. So Indian theme is just bright and colorful for us...”

ARPITA'S LOOK

Manav then spoke again: “I’ve another important announcement to make, as you all know my one and only son got married 05 years ago. The whole world knows it but none of you have seen her... in fact no one has seen my son as he likes privacy and staying out of limelight and his wife is also share similar thought. But today here I official introduce them my son and the famous mysterious youngest business tycoon Arnav Singh Raizada, otherwise known as ASR along with his beautiful wife and my lovely daughter-in-law, Khushi Arnav Singh Raizada.”

The audience looked at the stage with curiosity as Manav-Arpita walked off the stage while Lavanya went angry with red. Anjali put a hand on her shoulder as to calm down but herself control her temper because she feels it’s all Lavanya’s right which Khushi has forcefully taken. Akash, Payal, Yuvi and Mayuri were curiously looking at the stage also Akshay and Naina were shocked with the news of Arnav married to Khushi which they got to know just now. Garima and Nani had already known it but still didn’t understand how to react, they were sad that Arnav married someone else while Lavanya was still waiting for him while Sashi’s face didn’t give any expression.  Epshita and Kunal smiled at the announcement along with NK, Tuli and Samar who were standing together.












The lights got dim in the stage, a soft music started and stilettos of two people standing in the middle of the stage was visible and then the spotlight them. It was Arnav in grey kurta-pajama (The one Arnav wore in karwachuth episode of serial) and Khushi in red-lehenga.

KHUSHI'S LEHENGA

They were standing facing each other with smiles lit on their face, he had one hand on her waist and she had on his shoulder while he held her other hand as they both stood in the dancing pose. He slowly started swirling her to the music as he sang...





(THIS SONG: https://youtu.be/IQ-IzgNhvhg )

“Tenu itna main pyaar karaan
Ek pal vich sau baar karaan
Tu jaave je mainu chhad ke
Maut da intezaar karaan

Ke tere liye duniya chhod di hai
Tujhpe hi saans aake ruke
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake”

He pulled her close as he cupped her cheek as he looked into her eyes singing, conveying what his heart felt for her and she looked with teary eyes at him, overwhelmed with his love....

“Ke tere liye duniya chhod di hai
Tujhpe hi saans aake ruke
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake”

Swirling with the music Arnav went behind as he slid his both hands down her arms encompassing Khushi in his arms. She closed her eyes at the warm sensation of being his arms as they danced and he whispered the lyrics in her eyes lip-syncing with the song... 
























“Kuch bhi nahi hai ye jahaan
Tu hai toh hai isme zindagi...
Kuch bhi nahi hai ye jahaan
Tu hai toh hai isme zindagi
Ab mujhko jaana hai kahaan
Ke tu hi safar hai aakhiri...”

Khushi turned her face over her shoulder to see Arnav’s handsome face near her and with a shy smile she sang, lip-syncing with the song conveying her feelings at his words making him smile as they both twirled with the music...


























“Ke tere bina jeena mumkin nahin
Na dena kabhi mujhko tu faasley
Main tujhko kitna chahti hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake”

He spanned her around facing him as he twirled the music singing...





























“Tere liye duniya chhod di hai
Tujhpe hi saans aake ruke
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake”



















As they both were swirling with music, Arnav looked at her with mischievous and then suddenly picked her up making her gasp at his naughtiness, wrapping her arms around his neck. Khushi looked at his face lovingly singing as he span her around...  

“Aankhon ki hai yeh khwahishein
Ki chehre se teri na hatein
Neendon mein meri bas tere
Khwabon ne li hai karwatein”

Arnav intensely looked at her eyes as her words melted his insides and falling for her all over again as replied her with his own sweet words making her smile..




























“Ki teri ore mujhko leke chalein
Ye duniya bhar ke sab raaste
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake”
























Putting her down he pulled her close as she hugged him overwhelmed with love for him with tears in her eyes and he wrapped his arms around her cooing in her ears. His voice sweeter then honey to her as they swirled lightly with the music....




























“Tere liye duniya chhod di hai
Tujhpe hi saans aake ruke
Main tujhko kitna chahta hoon
Ye tu kabhi soch na sake...”





Khushi shyly turned her face away smiling with lowered eyes as Arnav looked at her with mischievous smile and loving eyes. They stood there in each other’s arms as the song got over and the lights went dim and the audience who were till now spellbound at the magical performance of the perfect couple broke into loud applause.

As Arnav-Khushi walked off the stage he dragged her to one corner, away from other eyes as he pinned her to the wall and blocked her way to escape by keeping his both arms over heard as he brought his face close to hers. Khushi shyly tried to push him saying: “Arnav what are you doing, what someone would think if they saw us...”

Arnav mischievously said: “So what... let them see as if I care...”







Khushi lowered her eyes with shyness and pleaded him: “Please...”

Arnav with naughty glint whispered: “Please what baby..?” as he pushed her lock of hair behind her ear and cupped her face as he moved close to her.

Khushi got lost in the spell of his nearness and closed her eyes as she started hyperventilating feeling his breath on her lips. Arnav was mesmerized by her submission and that moment all he wanted was to kiss he, so without delay he placed his lips on hers. And the moment their lips met it was like sparks fly just like the first time and both were kissing passionately, trying to take in each other’s sweetness. Arnav sucked on her lower lips and then bit on it making her grasped, as taking the opportunity he pushed his tongue in her mouth as they French kissed.










Finally after long when they were out of breath did Arnav broke their kiss, both panting and Khushi went red at her bold act which made him bowled over her antics. He wanted to kiss her gain and then make love to her passionately but controlling his desire for her, moved a little back. He spoke in husky voice which reflected his desires for her: “As much as I want to drag you in bedroom right now, I know I can’t...”

Khushi looked in his eyes said: “I’ll make sure you get lucky tonight.” and winked at him giving him a saucy smile.






Arnav put a hand over his heart as he dramatically saying: “Haye main marjawa!” and Khushi pouted cutely nodding at him making him smile at her cute face.

Having done enough romance Arnav decided it was time for them to make an appearance back at the party, so arranging themselves they walked back to the party hall. Arnav-Khushi walked back hand in hand inside the hall as a little bundle came running to them as Arnav bend down to pick up his little angel who was looking adorable in the little orange-sliver net lehenga kissing her cheek. 

HIYA'S DRESS

They walked up to where their rest of the family stood and two little boys in identical white-red sherwani spoke together: “Khu Bui and Arnie Uncle, you both danced so well... just like Prince and Princess!”

ZAYN AND RYAN'S SHERWANI

Khushi smilingly: “Thank you Zayn and Ryan, you both look so cute... just like little Prince.” and ruffled their hair.

Arnav put Hiya down who quickly ran away to play with her brothers who like doting big brothers followed their little sister. Khushi excitedly turn to Sana complementing her: “Sana Bhabhi you rocked at your performance.”







Sana smiled saying: "Thank you, my dear Sister-In-Law and you too looked so good dancing with Arnav... just made for each other couple.”

Abir was looking white outfit playfully commented: “Yeah entertainment for you and torture for us...”

ABIR'S LOOK

Neev added: “So right, it’s just so gross seeing your baby-sis romance... even if it’s her husband.”

Amaya in pink-orange-ish red lehenga with red choli and matching red-pink dupatta having design in golden-zari.

AMAYA'S LEHENGA

She swatted her husband saying: “Shut up Neev!” than turned to Arnav-Khushi said, “You both just looked perfect.”

Ishaani wistfully expressed: “How lucky you guys are that you get to dance... I also wanna dance.” looking very pretty in cream net lehenga with pink-purple flowery design and open hair with big diamond earrings.  

RANVEER AND ISHAANI'S LOOK

Veer who was looking looked at her with equally handsome cream colour sherwani with maroon velvet almost panicked expression spoke: “Have you gone crazy... you wanna dance in this stage..?” making Ishaani pout as she rubbed her baby-bump knowing no one will allow her.






Manav and Arpita stood smilingly seeing them all bickering and teasing but remembering it is a party, Arpita said: “Okay before you all forget we’re having a party right now. So, off you got to mingle with the guests.” 

With that all went mingling with the guests, Manav-Arpita were talking to Akshay-Naina who asked about Arnav’s marriage and were happily to know that he is well-settled now. Soon they were joined by Sashi, Garima and Nani as they all got into talking about some other random topics. Abir-Sana were chatting with Kunal and Epshita, whereas Tuli was with Samar not wanting him to be brooding at some corner alone and NK was busy flirting with hot single girls in the party. Neev and Amaya were talking to business associates while Veer with Ishaani was greeting some guests.










Arnav with his arm wrapped around Khushi moved towards another guests after talking to some business associate and came face-to-face with the gang. Seeing them he wanted to turn other way which he would have if not for Khushi with him who rather dragged him towards them. Khushi sweetly greeted them: “Hello guys, I hope you all are enjoying the party..?”

Akash smiled politely replied: “Yeah very nice party...”

It was sort of awkward silence, so Payal asked breaking the silence: “Ah, who was she who danced first..?”

Khushi: “That was my Sana Bhabhi, Abir Bhai’s wife.”

Mayuri commented: “She’s a good dancer.” giving a forced smile.

It was tensed between them and wanting to quickly escape, Arnav said: “Okay, you guys enjoy we’ll see you around.” and dragged Khushi along him to greet other guests.

After Arnav-Khushi left Lavanya said sadly: “He didn’t even notice me, forget looking at me...” going almost into tears.

Anjali went consoling her sister: “Lav, don’t worry... you know Arnav can be stubborn as a mole.”

Payal to patted Lavanya’s back saying: “Yeah Lav, we all know he is a tough nut to crack.” giving her an encouraging smile.

Lavanya nodded said: “Yeah I won’t lose hope so easily.” and then all looked at the way of Arnav talking to some guest with holding Khushi possessively close to his side.

Ishaani stood wistfully looking at the dance floor were few people were dancing as her husband was busy talking to some guest beside her but wasn’t interested anymore in the talks. Her thoughts were broken with a whisper in her ears: “What are you frowning at..?”

Ishaani turned to look at her Ranveer replied: “Nothing.” giving him a small smile and turned to look at the dancing people. 






Following her gaze Veer knew what she wanted, so with smile he held his hand out for her saying: “Wanna dance..?”





Ishaani looked at the hand than at him confused: “Huh..?”






Veer playfully: “Now I know you wanna dance and now-a-days your mood-swings are crazy... who know you make me sleep on floor at New Years.” which made Ishaani’s mouth fell open and then added, “Beside I’m there holding you...” gave her a sweet smile.

Ishaani smilingly took his hand as he walked them both to the dance-floor and the music changed into soft romantic song, turning quite a lot attention on the dance floor. Veer pulled Ishaani close as he started singing and swirling them softly with the music...








(THIS SONG: https://youtu.be/nBLYHFwIyYA )











“Aye mere humsafar ek zara intezaar
Sun sadaayein de rahi hain manzil pyar ki...” 

Abir turned toward his wife as he sang next pulling her along with him on the dance-floor making Sana smile at him sweetly as they too danced...









“Aye mere humsafar ek zara intezaar
Sun sadaayein de rahi hain manzil pyar ki...” 

Ranveer smiled at Ishaani dancing and Sana gave Abir a sweet smile knowing he was doing this for her as dance was his much favorite. The other guests looked at both the dancing couple admiringly and few other couples also joined the dance floor. Neev turned towards Amaya admiring her lehenga clad form, with a silent gesture offering his hand which she held trustingly and they were also on the dance floor, dancing and Amaya loving sang the next lines...























“Jisko duaaon mein maanga
Tu hai wahi rehnuma
Tere bina mushqil hai
Ek bhi kadam chalna”





















Arnav had already pulled Khushi to the dance-floor and twirling her softly to the music and Khushi sang the next lines sweet for him...


“Jisko duaaon mein maanga
Tu hai wahi rehnuma
Tere bina mushqil hai
Ek bhi kadam chalna
Bin tere kahaan hai manzil pyar ki”

Arnav lovingly held her hand and brought it to his lips and kissed her knuckles as he sang for her sweetly and the love he had for her, making Khushi look at him adoringly...







“Aye mere humsafar ik zara intezaar
Sunn sadaayein de rahi hai manzil pyaar ki...”

Soon everyone started making pairs and join the dance floor, NK asked Tuli for dance in friendly way which she accepted and joined the dance floor with him. Lavanya looked at the Arnav happily dancing with Khushi which made her heartache; his ignorance was stabbing her heart as tears filled her eyes, then a guy came to her asking for dance and she accepted it not wanting to be rude hiding her tears well. Another person looked at the happy couples on hurtful eye who was none other than Samar as he sang the next lines...
  





“Naa hum bewafaa hain
Naa pyar hai kam darmiyaan
Par apni taqdeerein
Hain bilkul hi judaa” 

A girl came to Samar asking for dance and he accepted it with a smile as he sang the next lines though dancing with the girl his eyes unknowingly went towards Lavanya dancing with someone else but having eyes on Arnav-Khushi...

“Naa hum bewafaa hain
Naa pyar hai kam darmiyaan
Par apni taqdeerein
Hain bilkul hi judaa
Phir kaise milegi manzil pyar ki...”

Samar’s face fell at the depressing question for which answer was yet unknown to him and as if some prayers being answered when he twirled his partner around, letting her go came another girl came into his arm. He looked down at her to see it was Tuli, their eyes met and it was as if time stood still for him at that moment... it was as if she was answers to all his prayers and questions. 

Abir twirled Sana and then brought her back in his arms as he sang the last lines of the song, finishing it with perfect note with a perfect ‘RK’ pose...


















“Aye mere humsafar ik zara intezaar
Sunn sadaayein de rahi hai manzil pyar ki...”

As the song got over, all the couples parted and everyone broke into loud applause with huge smile on face. It than Neev who took the mike in hand as the cheers died down and spoke: “Okay people, I hope you all are enjoying the party..?” Everyone cheered a loud ‘Yes’ and Neev continued: “Well good to hear, now there is not much time left for the countdown to begin. And still so much fun is felt to do... so who is up for more..?”

All cheering in agreement as he spoke again: “Okay, I guess enough of romantic dose. Now how about we rock the dance floor with some dhinka-chika... What say everyone..?”  making everyone go like ‘Yes! Yayyy! Whoo!’ and he said, “Well that’s the spirit!” with that the lights went out and all waited for the next exciting item coming up.











That was when the music started making the crowed go crazy with excitement of the hype-song and anticipation of the coming up...








(THIS SONG LINK: https://youtu.be/wLNgCURL_ds )












“Aye party, O party
Aye party party party (x2)
Hai celebration naacho dhana-dhan
Music bajaao keh do ye sabse...”


And then the lights turned on and walked in Neev who was looking sinfully handsome in the white kurta-pajama he wore today with green-ish blue stroll around his neck as he sang with chorus guys along with him...
























“Hai celebration naacho dhana-dhan
Music bajaao keh do ye sabse..
Aaj ki party meri taraf se
Aaj ki party meri taraf se
Chaand ko bolo utre falak se
Aaj ki party meri taraf se
Chaand ko bolo utre falak se
Aaj ki party meri taraf se

Dum dum dukur dukur.. Ahaa!
Dum dum dukur dukur.. Oho!
Dum dum dukur dukur..
Dhing pata pat dhingri popo (x2)”

Everyone was engrossed in watching Neev’s performance and Khushi excitedly turned say something to Arnav only to find him not there. She looked around confused and then to her shock he was on dance floor, dancing on the Salman Khan, her favorite Bollywood hero's song which made her more excited.... 



























“Machi hai chull
Tod ke rule
Kare wo step ki gire log daayein baayein
Neend bhi gull
Jashn hai full
Naache jamke ke poora floor hill jaaye
Baaz naa aaye.. shor machaaye
Party jo na kare usko tata bye
Hai invitation milke kare fun
Aao jahaaz mein ya bharke truck se”





















Arnav danced looking at Khushi’s excited face and then got down the stage, pulling her along to dance which she happily joined...


























“Aaj ki party meri taraf se
Aaj ki party meri taraf se
Chaand ko bolo utre falak se
Aaj ki party meri taraf se

Dum dum dukur dukur.. Ahaa!
Dum dum dukur dukur.. Oho!
Dum dum dukur dukur..
Dhing pata pat dhingri popo (x2)”


















Khushi happily danced along Arnav making everyone cheer and clap merrily. Neev then turned walked to Amaya singing making her smile as he dragged her into dancing...























“Hai celebration naacho dhana-dhan
Music bajaao keh do ye sabse..
Hai celebration naacho dhana-dhan
Music bajaao keh do ye sabse..

Aaj ki party meri taraf se
Aaj ki party meri taraf se
Chaand ko bolo utre falak se
Aaj ki party meri taraf se

Dum dum dukur dukur.. Ahaa!
Dum dum dukur dukur.. Oho!
Dum dum dukur dukur..
Dhing pata pat dhingri popo (x2)”





















By now everyone was dancing by now and Neev taking the mike spoke: “So guys finally it is time to beginning the countdown... By the way I’ve heard that if you see someone when the clock strikes 12 you get to see that face all your life. So if guys grab the hand of your love ones who you would want to see all your life...” as he held Amaya by his side close to him and then continued, “So the countdown beginnings... 10, 9, 8...”

As everyone started excited back counting with him: “7, 6...”

Lavanya who was standing along with the gang, hearing what Neev said went to search for Arnav as the countdown was going on: “5, 4...”

Manav-Arpita along Hiya, Ryan and Zayn were also counting along the elders loudly: “3”

Ranveer-Ishaani and Abir-Sana counted: “2...”

Arnav and Khushi loudly: “1!”

Everyone shouted loudly cheering: “Happy New Year!!!” with that the night sky was enlightened with fireworks as everyone wished each other.

Neev turned to Amaya saying sweetly: “Happy New Year Jaan, you have enlightened my world... been my biggest support when I needed you the most. And I’m so thankful to god for sending you in my life... I love you so much Jaan.” as his eyes got moist.

Amaya also felt overwhelmed as she gave him teary smile and lovingly said: “I love you too Neev and Happy New Year!”  

Not being able to take the overwhelming emotion she hugged him as he smilingly wrapped his arms around her.

Abir looked at Sana said: “Happy New Year Shona...” maintaining a distance considering they’re in pubic though all he wanted was to kiss her hard. 

Sana turned toward him and with saucy smile spoke: “Happy New Year Sana... just like that..? Don’t you have anything else to say...?”

Raising an eyebrow he at her asked: “Like what..?”

Moving closer, she smilingly trying to be seductive said: “I don’t know maybe something like Happy New Year baby, come on let’s celebrate rest of New Year in private... you know that adult and mature types party...” winked at him and he busted out laughing loudly. 

She too smiles seeing him happy and he hugs her saying: “My naughty Baby, let’s keep the private New Year party on-hold for a while but I’ll definitely make up to you later.” making her push him away playfully as he laughed more at her expense.

Arnav adoringly kept looking at Khushi who jumped up excitedly at the fireworks and turned to kiss his cheek wishing him happily: “Happy New Year Arnu!”

He was lost in her antics and not getting any response from him she turned to look at him asked frowning: “What are you looking at..?”

Arnav smilingly held her hand and dragged her away from the crown near the pool as she confusedly followed him. Then he gestured her to look and she saw her reflection in the water as he stood behind her spoke in her ears: “Nothing is more beautiful sight for me than this angel face.” 

Khushi turned red and lowered her eyes as a shy smile crept on her lips which made him grin wider. Then he turned her around and brought his face close to hers said: “Always be just like this... my dancing and jumping little wife. And Happy New Year Biwi!” overwhelmed with his affection, she hug him tight as he held her in his warm embrace and kissed her hair lovingly.

Unknown to then this scene was witnessed by another pair of eyes which were filled with tears. Lavanya had seen Arnav dragging Khushi by elbow when she was looking for him and followed them knowing she’ll catch them fighting. She had decided to end the drama now by catching Arnav when he would be scolding Khushi for over-doing acting by trying to get close to him which was her right, but what she saw was total opposite. Seeing he sharing lovey-dovey moments with Khushi was unacceptable to her... he is hers and he is supposed to be her forever. So with tears she ran off from there not being able to take anymore unnoticed to Arnav-Khushi who were lost in each other.
