OM Peace, Peace,

As the Pandits chanted these slokas khushi all the more felt week...sad..she started missing him terribilly...the though of him avoiding her itself killed her many times since yesterday...her both the cheeks were flodded with tears now...

Just when the pandit finished chanting...

BHABS!!! was the call

Khushi had goose bumbs on her body...her eyes flunged open...she stared at anjali who was looking start to the one who called her...

Anjali clutched abhaye's hand who was about to get up and held ankit also...

Khushi started breathing heavily...her cheeks were dried...she turned her face while sitting...

There he was...wearing a grey suit and a white shirt with a grey tie...he was a man...not that cute, lovable teenage boy anymore...

She gathered her strength and stood up supporting her hand on the floor...she was still breadthing heavily...she took her first step towards him...forgetting everything...everyone...not caring who was looking at her...thats how she was and she still is...not bothering who will think what...

Arnav just admired his khushi...as she took he steps towards him decreasing the distance between them...

she stood infornt of him...she looked at him...with so many questions in her mind...but all she could do is to look at him...their two years of separation was enough for her to realise what mistake she had done when she decided to leave for pune...today she could feel that pain what arnav must have felt when she left him...

KHUSHI!!! he took her name...she was still quite...but she didnot shift her gaze from him...she was so longing to see him and now he is here infront of her eyes...

Anjali and Abhaye along with Ankit came and stood beside khushi...

Anjali put her hand on khushi's shoulder and give her the thal...

Khushi come back to her conscious and looked at the thal and then anjali...

Anjali: Tilak kardo chotey ko...

Khushi looked perplexed...Di...meye?...i mean how can i?

Anjali: Kyun? Kyun nahi

Khushi: Di aap to jante hi hai na ki...(generally widows are not supposed to touch anything which is sacred) she paused...she knew she is not a widow anymore...and she will not likly to think like that as her husband is alive...

Khushi looked at arnav...she picked up some vermilion and put it on his forehead and then put some chawal...and then moved back looking down

Arnav smiled at her...he hugged anjali...cupped her face

Arnav: Kaise hai aap Bhabs?

Anjali: I am fine Chotey...tum batao how was your meeting?

Arnav: It was fab bhabs after all bhai had briefed me...so how can it be bad...and Meye Arnav Singh Raizada will never fail to do anything right bhabi?

Anjali: Right

Ankit: Chachu...what have you got for me?

Arnav: Picked him up...hmmm Mr. Prince...you toh have everything with you...so this time chachu didnot get anything for you.

Ankit: Pouted and frowned...

Arnav placed a kiss on his cheeks and said...i got a psp this time for you...

Ankit got excited and started demanding him to give it right away...anrav gave him the packet.

Arnav: Di i am going to my room...will freshen up and then come for the havan if you dont mind...i am dead tired...

Anjali: Sure chotey...everything is ready for you in the room...i will ask HP to take your things...

Arnav walked passed khushi and went to his room without talking to her...

Only she could see arnav walking up the stairs without looking at her...she felt very sad...
