Chapter 39

Akash came home with some files in his hand and as usual was hugged tightly by Muskaan who was waiting for her Akash Mama to return. Akash too hugged her back and kissing her forehead came to join his family who were sitting in the living room. He sat on the sofa near Anjali with Muskaan on his lap and attentively listened to everything that Muskaan was narrating. The family smiled at the uncle-niece bond and Anjali said: "Muskaan beta, your Akash Mama just came home, let him breathe atleast before you drown him with your stories."

Akash: "Di, I love to hear whatever Muskaan says..."

Muskaan: "Akash Mama, aapko pata hai, aaj maine eek drawing banai hai."

Akash: "Really..?? Go and get it. I want to see what my Muskaan has drawn."

Muskaan ran upstairs to get the painting and Akash turning to Anjali said: "Di, here are the papers of Muskaan's adoptions. Now legally Muskaan is your daughter." Saying he handed over a file to Anjali.

Smiles played on the face of everyone and a crying Anjali opened the file but looking at the papers frowned. "What is this Akash? There is a mistake here; it has to be Muskaan Jha not Muskaan Raizada."

Akash: "Bhai had asked to adopt Muskaan with the surname Raizada rather than Jha... I don't know why but Bhai wanted certain more clauses to be added and it was one."

Anjali: "But..."

NK: "Forget it Di... Nannav never does without any reason, he must have had some reason behind this and for you your Chote's happiness matters the most and if he wants Muskaan to be a Raizada then what's wrong in that. We should be happy that finally our Muskaan is legally ours."

Mami: "NK bitwa is right... Muskaan was always ours and now she is legally ours... no one can separate her from us now."
