Chapter 23
"Nahi, Nahi, Khushi nahi, hum hain. Khushi hamari sagi behen nahi hai na. Par 'woh sab jaane dijiye' kaisi chal rahi hai taiyyariyan?" Payal explained and changed the subject.
Khushi felt Lavanya look at her for a long moment before she said, "Sab theek hi chal raha hai. Bas ab hum mehndi ka shagun karne se pehle, designer ke paas jaa rahe hain apna lehenga try karne ki koi alteration ki jaroorat toh nahi. Woh last sitting mein Blouse bahut chota ho gaya tha toh thora lamba karwaya hai." She laughed and added, "Waise koi farak nahi padta'.kyon ki'Arnav toh waise bhi..kuch notice nahi karta' par apni'" she then stopped as Khushi looked at her quizzically.
She had a different experience from what Lavanya had just said. She recalled how when they had gathered for dinner the other night, he had looked her up and down and the way his eyes had rested on the wooden buttons up front and while kissing her murmured how he had wanted to open them up the minute he had laid eyes on them and had found it torturous to see them. He had fingered them.
Khushi jolted back to the present wondering when was she going to stop behaving like this, that too in front of his bride to be. She felt as if she was losing her mind.
She tuned in back to the conversation to realise that Payal had agreed to something. Before she realised, they were settling in the car to go to the designer. Once there, Khushi helped Lavanya in deciding if she liked the length of the blouse. Payal had teased her and told, "Arre aap length ki fikar kar rahi hai'mein ye soch rahi hoon'itne saare buttons'kya hamare bhai'handle kar paayenge ya'phir'"
But stopped as Khushi pinched her. "Kya hai'. thora toh hamari hone waali bhabhi ko tease karne do'" Payal persisted and saw Lavanya blush.
About to leave the posh mall in which the boutique was situated, they ran into Arnav and Aakash. It was Payal's soft "Aakash" that had drawn her attention as she had been lost in her thoughts. Lavanya and Payal had gone forward to meet them while Khushi had hung back.
It was Aakash's voice which had made her turn around. But eyes had straight gone to Arnav who was frowning at her. Lifting her chin up as if to convey that this meeting was not her doing, she walked up slowly towards them to catch the tail end of the conversation that was about them having lunch together as after tomorrow they won't be able to see each other before the wedding, as after haldi the bride and the groom were not allowed to meet. Arnav had scoffed when Payal had said this but it looked like they were to eat at an upscale restaurant in the Mall itself.
Scowling her discomfort, she went along and found herself the spare wheel in a nice foursome. She was about to suggest that she leave when she found herself sandwiched between the two guys who had their respective girls opposite them in the booth.
With her thigh brushing Arnav's, she tried to sit as tightly as possible but the more she tried to move away the more his leg spread to touch her. She gave him a scalding look to which he had blandly smiled.
Trying to ignore him, she turned her head towards Aakash but found him looking at Payal unblinkingly. Not finding any help there, she put both her hands in her lap and sat there in silence.
Lavanya then asked, "Arnav ye mein kya sun rahi hoon, Khushi tumhari maasi ki beti hai par behen nahi hai."
Khushi stiffened.
Arnav gave her a glance and said, "Sahi suna hai. Khushi ko Maasi ne adopt kiya hai, toh woh meri behen nahi hai."
"Par' agar dekha jaaye toh woh tumhari'" Lavanya tried again
"Nahi' woh nahi hai and that's that. I don't want to discuss this topic anymore. Now do you guys want dessert or shall we go." He said in clipped tones.
Aakash said, "Yaar coffee toh banti hai na."
They ordered coffee and once it came, Lavanya poured coffee from the pot into Arnav's cup. She picked up the milk jar and before she could add that, Khushi and Arnav spoke together, "Nahi' Black'" and they stopped and looked at each other.
"Woh'aapne'savere'" Khushi tried to explain but stopped when she saw the look in his eyes. There was this inexplicable emotion that seemed to reach out to her.
Khushi looked away and found Lavanya looking from one to the other.
Abruptly Arnav slid out of the booth and said, "Mujhe kuch yaad aa gaya, I have to go to the office. Aakash, tum log Lavanya ko drop karke ghar chale jaana, mein shaamko milta hoon." And with that he left.
