ARHI FF : Life and its twists !!! *On Hold* - Page 3

Arnav - tumne yeh kaise decide kar liya ki main mana kar doonga ?? 😉

Khushi - ji😲😕 (now clearly a bit nervous)... woh... (after a couple of seconds ,composing herself) waise bhi aapke upar itne kaam ka stress hai ... upar yeh bhi ?? nahi nahi ... hum apni wajah se aap ke upar aur stress nahi daal sakte ...(not allowing him to speak😆) tu bhi na Kaajal ... kuch bhi sochti rehti hai ... Arnavji insaan hai ... koi machine nahi ... it ll too much of a stress for him if he tries to include ur proposal too ... tu bhi na kya sochti rehti hai ...

Kaajal - oye Bullet train😆😆 ... thoda rukk ...kitthe bhaagi jaa rahi hai ... (now totally sure that Khushi was trying her best to make sure Arnav doesnt agree to the proposal) ... waise tujhe achanak kya ho gaya ?? ...maine toh sirf ek*business* proposal rakha ... and am telling the pros n cons of it ... pros are , Raizaadas ko ab yeh shares accept karne mai koi problem nahi hogi coz they ll be working for it ,so self respect ll be intact ... next , agar yeh deal ho jaaye toh Mehra Group aur AR ke branding mai faayda hoga ... i mean the best in the industry working together , business aur share price ke liye faayda ... third , tujhe ek mentor mil jaayega who knows ur working style ... or atleast knew ur working style and cons mai ...inhe isse accomodate karna padega ... moreover the decision is upto him ... its not like he needs to be thr 24/7 with u ... 😉

Khushi - par ...

Kaajal - no par var Khush ...what's wrong with you ??😕 ... jise decision lena hai usne toh kuch bola bhi nahi hai ab tak (Arnav who was just wondering what was wrong with Khushi now sighed thinking atleast one person had some sense to remember he hadn't spoken anything.😆😆 He was a bit more confused as to why Khushi was desperately trying to make him reject the proposal.)... tumhi kab se boli jaa rahi ho ... (not giving her twin a chance to start speaking again) ... dekh Khush ... apna kaam tha inhe shares lautana ...humne woh kiya bhi ... but yeh usse free mai accept nahi kar rahe hai ... i understand their point of view ... and I am sure even u too understand their point of view ... toh humne inke saamne proposal rakha ... tum unhe sochne ka mauka toh do ... . ab woh haa bole ya naa bole yeh unpar dependant hai ... lekin tu toh aise hyper hue jaa rahi hai jaise ki yeh business proposal nahi koi *marriage* proposal hai 😍(to which Khushi turned a light pink and Arnav was slightly shocked😲😉)... comeon Khush ... grow up ... stop being a *Baby* ... 😆😆

Khushi - (angry at her twin ,muttered ) ... I am not a *baby*...

Kaajal - (rolling her eyes) ... ya ... technically i know you are not ... but u r behaving like one now ... (to which Khushi glared at her) ... now ... (addressing the Raizaadas) ... papers already sign ho gaye hai shares ke transfer ke , aur agar aap mere proposal ka decision aaj de sakte hai toh hum wait kar sakte hai ... else we shall have to leave ... because as of now ... at this moment ... me and Khush are visitors here ... so we cannot stay here without any reason ...

Anjali – Arre aise kaise jaa sakti hai aap dono ...Khushiji aap itne dino baad mile hai humse ... thodi derr rukk ke jaayiye naa ...

Khushi – Nahi Anjaliji ... yeh toh office ka time hai naa ... waise bhi jab jiji se milne aayenge ... tabhi aapse mil lenge ... agar koi kaaam nahi hai yaha toh ... (looking at her twin and with a slight nod to her ) hume yaha se nikalna chahiye ...

Arnav - We can give our decision in the evening, say around 4:00 pm ?? ... till then you shall be our guests at AR ...

Nani – waise bhi abhi khaane ka samay ho gaya hai ... bitiya ... humare saath khane pe bhi nahi aayengi ?? (with a smile towards Khushi)

Khushi – ji ... woh ...

Kaajal – (covering up for her sister) ... ji naniji ... 😉

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lunch went quiet with nani and anjali fussing over everyone's food .Payal and Aakash were missing since they had to go to meet some clients . While Khushi just had around two spoonfuls of food , citing a reason that she wasn't particularly hungry . Later ,Standing in the cafeteria , Khushi was putting 5th teaspoon of sugar into her mug of coffee .Everyone else was having a small talk at other tables ,while Anjali was fussing over Arnav's medicines and his lack of seriousness about his health two tables from them.😆😆 Arnav just stared at Khushi wondering if she even knew how many spoons of sugar she had already added to her mug ,wondering how on earth didnt she have diabetes with soo much sugar and sweets.😆😆😆

Kaajal - (clearly knowing that she was irritated) ... hello sissy ... planning to have some coffee with sugar ?? 😉😆

Khushi – hume thoda sarr dard ho raha hai ... toh ...

Kaajal – and subah se yeh tumhari kitne wali cup hai?? ... tumhe pata hai naa ?? you need to stop depending on it ... its not good for ...

Khushi - aap yeh kehna chahti hai ?? ... ki hum apna khayal nahi rakh sakte ??😡😡 (she snapped) ...

Kaajal –(gesturing her hands that she didnt mean that) nahi ... mai sirf yeh kehna chahti hoo ... don be soo hard on urself ...😊 (she went ahead and took the cup of coffee from her and threw it to the bin) ...

Khushi - Kaa ...

Kaajal - ... because I know you ki tumne kitni mehnat ki hai is ke liye and I even know ki tum mujhse irritated ho... (she placed her palm on Khushi face lovingly)... and u know naa ... mai tumhare mehnat ko barbaad hone nahi de sakti ... maine jo bhi kiya isiliye kiya ... 😊

Khushi - humse ek baar pooch toh leti ...

Kaajal - tu bhi jaanti hai na ... itna time nahi tha na humare paas ... and if you want ... I can take it bak ...

Khushi - Kaajal ... ( in a serious tone) ...

Kaajal - haan ...

Khushi - mere gaal ko toh chod de ... Khujli ho rahi hai ...🤣

Kaajal – Kyaaa ???😲😲 (mocking an almost hurt look) ... mere haath itne rough hai ki tumhe Khujli ho rahi hai ??? ... Khujli ?? ... aur koi word nahi mila tujhe ?? (with that both of them started to laugh)😃

Khushi – hmmm ... aur nahi toh kya ?? ... pata nahi kya lagati rehti hai uspar ... chall meri coffee de de ...

Kaajal – nope ... not one more cup of coffee ... (Khushi pouted) ... comeon Khush ... subah se yeh teri 5^th cup hai ... n tat too its black coffee ... pata hai naa ... doctor ne kya kaha tha ?? ... its not good for u ... god knows from whr you got hold of this habit ... u r already addicted to it ...

Khushi – no ... I am not ... (getting irritated)😡😡

Kaajal – ofcourse you are ... tumhare sleeping patterns ... tumhare gusse ka fuse udna ... and worst ... ur losing ur appetite and u r losing weight ... its not good ...

Khushi – I know what's good and what's not good ... harr baar mujhe yeh jataane ki zaroorat nahi ki maine duniya nahi dekhi hai ... chotti bacchii nahi hoo mai ... (she told in an irritated hushed tone) ...

Kaajal – forget it ... tumse iss baare mai baat karne ka koi faayda nahi hai ...waise ek baat bata ... (changing the topic and in a hushed tone so that only her sis could hear) ... tune kabhi bataya nahi ki tere aur us *chotte*(quoting it with her fingers) ka kuch *chotta* sa history hai ??

Khushi – (flustered and shocked) ... aisa kuch bhi nahi hai ... 😳😲

Kaajal – hain toh bol de ... yeh deal ko derail kar deti hoo ... I ll tell them to just accept the shares and we can get lost from here ...

Khushi – kaha na ... aisa kuch bhi nai hai ...

Kaajal – toh tujhe koi problem nahi hai uske saath kaam karne mai ... ??

Khushi – nahi baba ...

Kaajal – sure naa ... coz (calling Khushi near her and speaking to her ear) ... kaafi weird lagega agar tum log date karne lagoge toh ... or worst shaadi kar loge toh ... imagine me calling him *Chotte*jiju ... 😉😉😆😆😆

Khushi – (turning scarlet) ... Kaajal !!! ... (hitting her hand) ...

Kaajal – waise ... I still hold my yesterday's statement ... (getting up ,she stood behind Khushi , held her shoulders and bent near her ears and whispered) ... banda dikne mai itna bura bhi nahi hai ... bass thoda sadu hai .😉... but I guess tujhe uske sadilepan se koi prob nahi hai ...😆😆 (Khushi smacked her sister's head ) ... OUCH !!! that hurts ...

Khushi – (getting up ) ofcourse it hurts ... isiliye toh maara ... 😆 chall ... waise bhi ab nani ko call karna hai ... isse pehle ki woh humare liye missing complaint daakhil kar de ... (and they left) ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arnav who was a silent spectator to the sisters banter , had decided what he had to do . He even decided to rope in Anjali , citing it was in her best interests .Some how he was restless when he heard Kaajal complaining that Khushi was in a self destructive path , atleast for her health. It was then he noticed what she had done to herself . Although she did look beautiful like before , she looked tired , there was a certain puffiness in her eyes due to lack of sleep , there was a slight hint of dark circles under her eyes . She looked edgy and he was a bit shocked when she almost snapped twice . The Khushi he knew wouldn't have snapped so easily .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the meeting room :

Nani – humne tayy kar liya hai ki pehle ki tarah ... Arnav bitwa hi kaam kaaz sambhalenge ... kisi ko kono aitraaz ho toh abhi bolne ka padi ... (everyone just nodded to her decision)... Theek hai ... aur Arnav bitwaa ... kya socha hai aapne ... Kaajal bitiya ke prastaav ke baare mai ...

Arnav – Nani ... mai unka proposal accept karne ke liya tayyar hoo ... par meri bhi ek shart hai ...

-------------------------

End of part 18

Part 10 :

Khushi didn't even realize when the chopper took off while she sat staring at Arnav and unknown to her tears were flowing from her eyes. She squeezed her eyes to see Arnav again , but now he was just a dot , so closed her eyes . Kaajal felt that may be for the first time she wasn't sure if she had done the right thing by separating Khushi from the people whom she knew.😕 She reached out to Khushi and wiped her tears😊 and that's when Khushi opened her eyes and looked at her sisters and smiled .

Kaajal – Kaun tha woh ?? ...

Khushi – Arnav Singh Raizaada ...

Kaajal – Friend ?? ...

Muskaan – Boyfriend ?? ... 😉😉(smiling naughtily ) ...

Khushi – Nahi nahi ... woh anjaliji ke bhai hai ... hum unke liye kaam karte the ...

Muskaan – Oh !!! toh yeh hai Laad Governor ??😆😆 (Khushi nodded ) ... dekte hi pata chalta hai ki kitna Akdu hai ... 😆😆

Kaajal – Lets leave the topic of Laad Governor (seeing Khushi uncomfortable) ... abhi we need to think about Naani ... Minnie kuch soch ... I know its difficult for u ... but still ... Bhai ne kaha ki unka gussa abhi pressure cooker main pressure ki tarah build up ho raha hai ... humari toh seeti bajj jaayegi ... 😆😆😆

Arnav was rooted on his place , everything went numb for him . He was lost in his own world , nothing else mattered other than the fact that Khushi had left . He didn't know for how long he was at that place staring at the helipad . His brain didn't register his sister's voice calling him 😔. Finally Anjali came and nudged him or to be factual shook him with all her might.

Anjali – chotte ... tum yaha kya kar rahe ho ... aur kya ghoor rahe ho ?? ... 😕😕(looking at the direction of helipad) ...

Arnav – Kuch nahi di ... (coming a bit into his senses) ... woh Khushi ...

Anjali – Woh chali gayi chotte ?? ... oh !! toh tum use see off karne aaye the ... chalo accha hua ... hume toh bura laga tha ki humari parivaar ki taraf se koi nahi tha unhe see off karne ke liye ... chaliye abhi aap andar chaliye ... (she pulled him with her ) ...

Anjali – (in the hallway ) ... waise chotte ... tumne dawayi laga toh li naa ?? ... humne use Khushiji ke haaton bheja tha ..

Arnav – Haan dii ... Khushi ne laga diya ... (he smacked himself mentally for the slip of tongue) ...

Anjali – Khushi ne ???😲😲 (almost shocked) ... aur tumne unhe lagane diya ?? ... Kyaa baat hai chotte ... ab kya aap dono dost ban gaye ?? 😉... ya kuch aur pakk raha hai ?? 😉😉...

Arnav – (now getting irritated) ... Dii ... agar aapki baatein khatam ho gayi ho toh kya main andar jaake so jaao ?? ...

Anjali – haan bhai !! ... raat raat bhar khushi se baatein ki ... kya baat kiya yeh pata nahi ...😆😆 phir subah ko gale main moch aayi ... aur dawayi bhi Khushi ne lagaya😉😉 ... aur yeh kyaa ... abhi tak Khushi ke shawl ko pakde hue ho ... arrey ... (now realising another cloth in his hand) ... ab Khushi ka duppata bhi tumhare haath mai hai 😲... Kyaa baat hai chotte ??😳😳 ...

Arnav – Dii ...😳😳 (almost shocked at the duppata part and a bit embarrassed ) aap jaisa soch rahi hai ... waisa kuch nahi hai ...

Anjali – Hum kya soch rahe hai chotte ???😉😉 ... hum toh kuch bhi soch nahi rahe hai ... (she said playfully) ... waise ek baat samajh main nahi aaya hume...

Arnav – Kyaa di ??

Anjali – Yehi ... ki Khushiji ke kapde aapke paas kaha se pohunch jaati hai ... (she giggled) 😆😆...

Arnav – Comeon dii ... (Now entering the room and holding the door) ... main sone jaa raha hoo ...aur aap plzz mujhe 10 baje tak utha dena ... (and he closed the door when anjali nodded . Anjali couldn't help but stop smiling at her chotte) ..

Arnav tried in vain to get some sleep . He closed his eyes , her face came to haunt him and he opened his eyes , his train of thought was stuck at Khushi . "Really ?? ... Cant you think of anything but her ?? she left Arnav ... She said good bye ... 😔" , he tried to convince himself . "But she didn't actually say good bye you know🤔 " , another thought tried to convince him . "Maybe it wasn't a good bye kinda good bye😆😆 " , it continued . "But what will I do now ?? I don't even have a clue where she went ... and with whom she went ... All I know is she is with her sister Kaajal Mehra . Will I ever get to see her again ?? ... What if I never get to see her", he panicked a bit😲😲. After some time , one of his thoughts seemed to finally think something , " Payal ... yes payal ... she will know where Khushi is ... why not ask her ?? 👍🏼", he smiled to himself for his brilliance ."Cool ... I will go now to Payal and ask her..", he got up and looked at the clock. It was 6:30 ... "Damn !!!" he said " , it had been just 10 mins and his brain had gone to an overdrive thinking about Khushi 😆😆. "Dont you think it is stupid of you to go and ask Payal and what makes you think she will tell you anything considering the awesome reputation you have ", he said to himself. Yes , he would be the last person Payal would tell about her sister , so he had to take someone with him whom she trusted. Dii ?? Nani ?? ... Aakash ?? ... why not all of them ??😉 but he had to play this carefully . Payal had an information dear to him and he had to get it from her smoothly without any risk. He thumped himself to the bed trying to get some sleep which he was not destined for .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At 10 , his sister called him for breakfast and to her shock , he agreed on the first call.😕 He managed to bring the topic of Guptas with reference to their security from Shyaam and that's when Nani suggested that she would want to meet them . To his shock , both he and Aakash volunteered to take her there. 😉Finally it was Anjali , who gave the idea of all of them going to meet the family . As soon as they reached the Gupta residence , Arnav was shocked to see 4 policemen near the place , who enquired their purpose of visit. It was Shashi Gupta who convinced the security to let them in . after the initial talks about well being and the regular elderly talk they talked about shyaam and the case . Both Arnav and Aakash looked at Payal for different reasons noted Anjali😊. Aakash as usual was shy to look at her and Arnav was hesitant to talk to her . She smiled to herself ,thinking for the first time , her chote was at loss for words . So she took the matter into her own hands .

Anjali – Waise Khushiji dikhaayi nahi de rahi ??? ... ( Nani , Arnav and Aakash thought she had gone mad 😲. Didn't Khushi just leave right in the morning) ...

Garima – Jiii ... woh ... apne behen ke saath chali gayi (sadly) ...

Anjali – accha ... yehi kahi gayi hogi ?? ... kab tak lautengi ?? ... (now arnav got a clue as to what his sister was upto😊) ...

Payal – Ji ... woh ... kuch maheeno ke liye unke saath gayi hai ...

Anjali – Kaha gayi hai ?? ... Phone number kuch deke gayi hogi na ??? ...

Payal – Ji ... hume pata nahi ... Kaajal ne hume kuch nahi bataya ... kaha ki yeh Khushi ki security ke liye hai ... Kaajal ne hi un police walon ko yaha pe aane ke liye kaha hai ... (she replied sadly)

Both Arnav and Anjali looked at each other . Their last hopes of finding her whereabouts was a flop. 👎🏼🥺

Garima – Khushi bitiya ke bina humara mann nahi lagta yaha ... par kaa kare ... uski suraksha bhi toh zaroori hai ... lagat hai bitiya ki zindagi main hamesha sankat hi aavat rahegi ... bachpan main chacha se ... aur ab us Shyaam se ... hey devi maiyya ... bas humari bitiya ki raksha karna ... (Shashi told them the whole story about Khushi .The Raizaadas were shocked to hear this part of story about Khushi's safety from childhood . Arnav couldn't digest the fact that someone would actually plan to kill Khushi for property)

Shashi – (convincing Garima) ... Kuch hi maheeno ki toh baat hai Garima ji ... phir hum apne bitya ke saath honge na ...

Payal – Nahi Bauji ... Kaajal keh rahi thi ki woh Khushi ko apne saath le jaa rahi hai ... Videsh mai ... (she added sadly , which crushed Arnav's hopes🥺) ...

Anjali – Payalji ... aapne kya socha hai ... aap kya karengi aage ?? ... Ab aap humesha ke liye toh aise bodyguards se ghire nahi reh sakte na ...

Payal – Pata nahi anjaliji ... hum toh Kaajal ke yaha Khushi ke bina nahi rehna chahte ... 😒

Anjali – Ek baat kahe ?? ... Kyun naa aap humare saath aa jaaye ?? ... Humara bhi mann laga rahega ... aur aap chahe toh AR main kaam kar sakti hai ... ya phir aage padna chahti hai toh woh bhi kar sakti hai ... 👏(both nani and Arnav nodded at her suggestion)

Payal – Par hum kaise ?? ...

Anjali – Kisi anjaan shehar main akele rehne se toh behtar hai naa ?? ... waise aap chahe toh humare saath reh sakti hai ... Shantivan main ... is tarah se aapko kisi baat ki chinta nahi rahegi aur naahi aapko aapki suraksha ka chinta rahege ... humare saath rahengi toh koi aapko choo bhi nahi payega👍🏼👏 (Arnav noticed the way she avoided taking Shyaam's name) ...

Buaji – Payaliya ... Anjali bitiya sahi keh rahi hai ... soch lo ... accha mauka hai ... kaam bhi kar logi ... thoda kama bhi logi aur Khushi bitiya ke bagair tumhara mann bhi thoda behel jaayega ... humara kaa hai ... hum tumko roz phone karat rahenge ...

Payal – par ... (looked at her parents who gave her a nod telling it was her decision completely) ... itna bada ehsaan ... hum kaise ...

Nani – Ehsaan kahe ka bitiya ??? ... ulta aap humpe ehsaan karengi ... Anjali bitiya ko koi sangat mil jaavegi aur aap chahe toh Arnav aur Aakash ki thodi madad bhi ho jaayegi ...

Payal – jii ... theek hai ...😊 (and it was decided that Payal would accompany the Raizaadas in the evening so she left to pack her belongings . While the raizaadas left to Sheesh Mahal informing either Arnav or Aakash would personally pick Payal up ) .

Once at Sheesh Mahal , when Nani left to her room .

Aakash – (Hugging Anjali🤗) ... Diii ... you are the best !!!! ... thank you sooo much dii ... thank you !!! (Arnav raised an eyebrow😕😕 trying to figure out what was wrong with Aakash)

Anjali – Woh kaa hai naa Aakash bitwaa ... aap chahe kuch kahat na ho ... par hum thode naa aapki duppatewaali ko aise jaane dete ...😉😉. (She winked at Arnav .Arnav sighed ... finally understanding what was going on ) ... Chaliye ... aap andar chaliye ... thodi derr main nikalna hai naa aapko unhe pick karne ke liye ...

Aakash – ( now panicking) ... Main ??😲😲 ... dii main nahi ja paaungaa ... meri toh band baj jaayegi ... Kyaa baat karunga ... kyaa drive karunga ...

Arnav – Really ??? ... (a bit amused😕😆) ... theek hai main chala jaata hoon ... waise bhi unki security ka sawaal hai ... tum toh Payal se baat karne se bhi darte ho ... kuch emergency hui toh handle nahi kar paaoge ... 😆😆(both Arnav and anjali smiled at Aakash ) ...

Aakash – Bhai !! aap bhi ?? ... aur aap smile kar rahe hai ?? ... ( he said shocked) ...

Arnav – Kisi ne kaha hai ki smile karne se problems thodi aasaan ho jaati hai ... so try kar raha hu ...😉😊 (anjali looked at Arnav and aakash not believing his brother left the room ) ...

Anjali – Kisi ne kaha ?? ... ya Khushi ne kaha ?? ... 😉😉

Arnav – mere samajh main ye nahi aa raha tha ki Payal ko aap ghar pe rakhna chahti hai ?? ... obviously Aakash usme interested hai ... aur uski security bhi sahi hogi ...par ...sirf yehi toh wajah nahi hai ... ❓

Anjali – (now nodding her head smacked lightly on Arnav's head) ... Woh kaa hai naa Arnav bitwaa ... Khushi kahi bhi rahe par woh Payal se baat toh karat rahengi ... aur agar Payal humare saath rahengi toh hume asani se pata chall jaayega ... 👏👏

Arnav – wow !! aap sach mai the best ho !!! ... (he hugged her🤗 ) ... par dii ... aap theek toh hai na ?? ... I mean kal jo bhi hua ... uske baad ... maine expect kiya tha ki aap ro roke apna haalat kharaab kar lengi ...

Anjali – Hum theek hai chotte ... hume jitna rona tha woh humne kal ro liya ... aur kal humne taay kar liye ki us insaan ke liye humare aankon se ek bhi aasoon nahi niklegi ... aur waise bhi kisi ne kaha hai naa ... haste rehne se , muskuraate rehne se ... zindagi thodi asaan ho jaayegi aur mushkile thodi si kam ??? ...😊

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone at sheesh mahal was ready to leave when the phone rang . Almost everyone was out except Arnav , who picked up the call . The person at the other end didn't answer and just cut the call .😕 Again after a minute the phone rang , Arnav picked up , " Khushi !!! ... Khushi Kumari Gupta ... Kuch aur na sahi ... kam se kam phone pe baat karna toh seekh lo ... "

Thank you all for reading my FF ...

As promised , here comes the 6th part ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Khushi was a bit apprehensive when she looked at Sheesh Mahal. Her brain issued warnings telling her not to go inside the place but her heart pushed her to go inside😳. There was soo much chatter in her mind , part of her mind telling her to go back , another part telling her to go ahead bribing her with the offer of meeting him ❤️, yet another part told her to run for her life😆 , another part telling her to face the issue . She almost shouted "shut up " to herself. 😆😆

Kaajal – what do you mean aaj nahi jaa sakte ???😡😡 ... paagal ho gaye hai kya aap ?? ... pehle bhi kaha tha maine , I have to leave this god damn place ... (yelled kaajal)

Manager – Ms.Mehra , we tried to get a clearance from the authorities , but is weather ki wajah se unhone mana kar diya ... we are extremely sorry ...

Kaajal – Toh ?? yeh baat aap pehle nahi bol sakte the ?? ... tab kya aapka voice holiday pe gaya tha ??😆😆 ... Damn !!! what do we do now ?? (running her hand through her hairs and looking at Muskaan and Khushi ) ...

Muskaan – Bhai ko phone kyun nahi karti ?? ... maybe he can help us ...

Kaajal – Muskaan , even I know to call him ... but the prob is , woh sabse pehle jaake naans ko bata dega ... and then hum sab maare jaayenge😕😕 ... (she looked at khushi) ... naa ... hum dono(pointing towards herself and muskaan) maare jaayenge ... 😆😆

Muskaan - woah !!! tum sach main tensed ho ... (kaajal raised an eyebrow🤔) ... tumne mujhe muskaan bulaya😆😆 ...

Kaajal – shut up Minnie !!! ... (looking at the manager) ... what time can the first chopper take off ?? ... and give me some contact details of some good hotels nearby ...

Manager – Madam ... subah 6 baje aap nikal sakti hain ... aur aap log yahi ruk sakti hai ... part of the Mahal is turned into heritage hotel ...😊

Khushi – nahi (now panicking😲😲😲😲)... hum kahi aur ...

Kaajal – (thinking a bit) ... fine👏👏 ... I hope is baar koi problem nahi hogi ... and if possible give us a triple bedroom ...

Khushi – par Kaajal ... hum waapas ghar jaa sakte hai na ... subah ko niklenge waha se ...

Kaajal – taaki tum log phir se rone shuru ho jaao😆😆 ... no ways ... and Khushi sirf 6 ghanton ki hi to baat hai ... Main ek kaam karti hoon ... jaldi se bhai ko phone lagake kehti hoon ki kya prob hai ... tab tak tum log andar jaao ...

***********

Manager – Madam ... aapka kamra aa gaya ...

Khushi – Shukriya ... aapki madad ke liye ...

Manager – Ek baat bolu madam ... aapki behen bhale hi aap jaisi dikti ho , par aap dono mai zameen aasmaan ka farak hai ... aap itni naram dil ... aur woh ... durga ka roop hai ... 😆

Muskaan – (laughing) ... woh toh aise hee hai ... uska kuch nahi kiya jaa sakta ... 😆😆

Nani, whose room was next to their's came out and was pleasantly surprised seeing Khushi there .

Nani – arrey😛 ... Khushi bitiya ... kaisi hai aap ... aur aap yaha kab aayi ... hume bula liya hota bitiya ...hum aapse hi baat karna chahte the ...

Khushi – hum aapko pareshaan nahi karna chahte the naniji ... hum toh lucknow se nikalne ke liye aaye the yaha ... humari behen ne yaha se jaane ke liye bandobast kiya tha helicopter se , par mausam ki wajah se hume kal nikalna pad raha hai ...

Nani – aapki behen ?? ... Payal bitiya ... ?? 😕

Khushi – Nahi nani ... humari sagi behen ... Kaajal . Aur yeh humari choti behen ... Muskaan . (muskaan and nani smiled at each other) ... Waise nani Anjaliji kaisi hai ??

Nani –theek toh nahi kahenge🤔 ... Pehle se behtar hai... bahut royi hai😭😭 ... par accha hua ... kam se kam jee halka toh hua unka ... hum toh aapse bhi kehat rahe the ki ro lijiye ... aapki haalat dekhkar toh hum darr gaye the ... abhi toh accha hua ki aap behtar ho ...

At that moment Arnav entered and both he and Khushi froze even before they laid their eyes on each other 😳😳😳😳.

Nani – Kaajal ... yeh aapke behen ka naam hai ... kaha hai woh ?? ... hum unse milna chahenge ...

Muskaan – Usme kya hai ... aap isi ko dekh lijiye (pointing at Khushi) aur yeh sochiye ki inhe bahut gussa aaya hai aur sab pe chilla rahi hai... toh yehi lagega ki Kaajal di se mil liya ... 😆😆😆

Khushi – (coming back to her senses) ... Muskaan !!! ... apne Didi ke baare mai aise baat nahi karte ...

Muskaan – (complaining) ... Didi jaise behave kare tab naa ... jab dekho tab dadagiri karti rehti hai!!! ... 😆😆

Nani – Arrey Chote ... aap aa gaye ... chaliye accha hua ... ab aap hi sambhal sakte hai Anjali bitiya ko ... Hum kabse kahat rahe unhe kuch khane ko ... lekin maan hi nahi rahi hai ...

Arnav – (Anjali's name bought him back to his senses) ... Aap chaliye nani main aata hoon ...

Nani – Aap bhi chaliye Khushi bitiya ... Shaayad baatein karne se aapka aur Anjali bitiya ,dono ka jee halka ho jaayega ...

All of them entered Anjali's room , to find her still sulking .😭😭😭 Seeing her condition , Khushi decided that anjali was in a worse condition than her , so she had to cheer her up . Arnav , went and sat near anjali tryin to get her to eat something . Seeing Khushi , Anjali's eyes lit up a bit and she gave a small smile😊 , which did not go unnoticed by Arnav . Mentally he noted that it was for good that Khushi was here and thanked who ever bought her here. A part of him was relieved to see that two of the most important women in his life, who had gone through hell ,had survived it and although a bit shaken were fine😉😉 ."Two" of the most important women 😲😲?? from when did Khushi become one of the most important woman in his life😳😳 ?? part of his mind chided him.

Khushi – Anjaliji ... Humare bauji kehte hai , ki haalat kuch bhi ho ... lekin uska gussa khane pe nahi nikalna chahiye ... aapne subah se kuch nahi khaya hai ... aur aapko aapki dawayi bhi toh leni hai na ... Kal ek naya din hoga aur us din main bahut saari khushiyan hongi ...agar aap khaayengi nahi toh kal ke hasi ke liye taaqat kaha se laayengi??😛 ... aur dekhiye na aapki nani aur Arnavji bhi yehi chahte hai (both Arnav and Khushi stole a glance at each other😉😉)... hum bhi yehi chahte hai ... kam se kam hum sab ke liye toh kha lijiye na ... (she pleaded ) ...

Arnav saw Khushi pleading like a small kid to Anjali. She looked awful with a tear stained face , eyes red and swollen since she too had cried like hell😒 , she didn't have a hint of makeup on her ,nor had she worn any jewellery .She had just worn a plain white salwar and let her hair loose . Inspite of the mess she was in , she looked breathtaking . He was again brooding over Khushi which made her a bit uncomfortable .☺️ Anjali , who had refused to eat when Arnav and Nani had tried , couldn't help but heed to Khushi's pleadings . She ate , while Khushi fed her ,bringing a small smile on Arnav and Nani's faces. 😊

Muskaan – Which reminds me ... tumne bhi kuch nahi khaya na dii (to khushi) ?? 😕

Khushi – (avoiding Arnav's eye) ... hume bhook nahi hai ...

Muskaan – (in protest)Par ...

Khushi – Muskaan ... humne kaha na ... hume bhook nahi hai ... aur waise bhi aaj jo bhi hua , uske baad toh humari bhook marr gaya hai ...

Muskaan – Accha ??😡😡 (now clearly angry , keeping her hands on her waist) ... aur tumhe lagta hai , tumhare bhooke rehne se jo jo galat hua woh sab theek ho jaayega ?? ... (khushi tried to protest)... Bhaashan toh kaafi acchi deti ho ... lekin kabhi kabhi khud bhi use follow kar liya karo ... kal se kuch nahi gaya hai tumhare pet main ...and anyways ... aaj aisa kya ho gaya ki bhook marr gayi tumhari ... us cheat se tumhaari shadi nahi hui , good thing👍🏼 ... poore 9 saal baad tum mujhse aur KJ se mili , second good thing 👍🏼... tum humare saath waapis "apne" ghar aa rahi ho , third good thing👍🏼 (hearing to which Arnav stiffened🥺 ) ... ur leaving ur lucknow and ur family of 9 years , one bad thing👎🏼 ... but score is 3 good is to 1 bad dii ... toh galat kya hua dii ?? Lawyered !!! ... ur points are no more valid and "u have to eat"👏👏 (taking a spoonful of food , she fed Khushi, who had no choice but to eat ) ...

Muskaan – (after some time ) , Arrey ... khud hi sab kha rahe ho aap dono , hum log bhi hai yaha pe(pointing towards herself and Arnav), hume bhi bhook lagi hai ... hume bhi kuch toh khilaao ... atleast formality ke liye hi sahi 😆😆😆😆...( Everyone just laughed at her statement and food was served for everyone in the room .)

Khushi – Anjaliji ... Jaane anjaane mai humari wajah se aapko jo bhi takleef pahunchi hai , uske liye hum aapse maafi maangte hai ... Agar hume pata hota ki woh (not able to take Shyaam's name,while Anjali closed Khushi's mouth using her fingers) ...

Anjali – Nahi Khushiji ... us insaan ne hum dono ko dhoka diya hai .😔... aur aap maafi kyun maang rahi hai ?? isme aapki koi galti nahi hai😊 ...(saying which she hugged Khushi 🤗🤗🤗)

After sometime , everyone bid Anjali good night and left her room . Khushi walked with Muskaan towards their room ,not noticing Arnav too had come near the place 😉😉😉. Arnav , who had not registered most of the talk in Anjali's room just looked at Khushi . He wanted to talk to her , console her , assure her . Then he blurted out "Tum theek ho??" . 😉😉😉

"I promise ,that as much as possible , I wont let anything hurt you sis. I will make sure you become so strong that problems will think twice before bothering you!',👍🏼 she said to herself . She looked at the silhouette of two people , one of her sister and another she recognised of the person with whom she had an argument earlier . Although , initially she wanted to push that man away from her sister since he was manhandling her😡😡 , she later saw her sister speak out to him and that was when she decided to let them speak. She was pleasantly surprised to see that , this man who had spoken to her rudely , was actually consoling her sister👍🏼👍🏼. She had heard her sister , talking, she was spilling her heart out , talking about how tired she was , how she was at fault , how she was the cause of all the misery , how she even thought about death.😭😭😭 At that moment , Kaajal just moved towards them , all she wanted to do was hold on to her sister and rip away these feelings of despair. But when she heard Arnav speak , she stopped . A part of her was glad that this man was handling Khushi 👍🏼👍🏼, perhaps in a better way than herself . She was even glad that finally Khushi spoke her mind and heart out , these feelings of despair had to get out of her system. Kaajal was sure that Khushi wouldn't have told any of this to her or any members of the family or to anyone else. But Khushi told these to Arnav, these two seemed to have a connection , what was that Kaajal didn't know and for now she didn't want to know, she would probe into it later.😉 It could wait , rather it had to wait until things settled down she decided. For now , she was glad that they both didn't notice her presence and she left them on their own , in each others arms and retreated to her room to find Muskaan sleeping like a baby.

A smile arrived on Kaajal's face watching Muskaan , God, she hated it when Muskaan spoke silly and nonsensical stuffs to her , she hated it when Muskaan tried to imitate her . but she loved her more than her life ,because it was Muskaan and her family which had kept her grounded and sane through the past 13 years .At the age of 9 when girls played with barbies,her parents were killed, she was ripped apart from her sister. At the age of 15, when girls talked about boys and dating , and read romantic novels , she was reading papers related to business deals and helping her mamu with strategy to get back her father's company.At the age of 19 ,when girls thought what to do with career , she had finally claimed her company. The last 2 years was a break forced upon her by her Mamu and Bhai , who wanted her to finish her studies ,not that she was doing bad in her studies , but her family thought she deserved a break from fighting .Although she grudgingly agreed , she focussed on finding her sister and Garima masi . After a fruitless 1.5 yrs of search when she was almost giving up , she heard what she wanted to . Her sister , Khushi was spotted in a fashion clip with Arnav Singh Raizaada in lucknow.Finally she got her and now her family was complete with Khushi ,after 12 years. Actually it was more than complete with the gupta's too joining it and now she could finally have a peaceful sleep and she silently slept , hugging her little sister.

Khushi heard something vibrate near her and that was when she slowly opened her eyes . After some moments she realised she was out in the cold ,but she didn't actually feel cold😕😕 , there was something which gave her warmth😉😉. Something was hugging her tight and that was when it dawned to her , the current situation she was in . It was her Laad Governor, Arnav Singh Raizaada , who was holding her in his arms and she had infact slept in his embrace.😲😲 Part of her was overjoyed , another part was confused , another one was angry and a huge part of her was embarrassed. Involuntarily she blushed☺️☺️☺️ ."Hey Devi Maiyaa !! yeh kya ho raha hai ?? " ,she thought.She slowly tried to free herself from his arms , but even in his sleep he had a strong hold😆😆. why did he have to be so strong even in his sleep , she cursed😆😆. She had an idea of waking him up , but when she looked at his face , she decided it best that he remain asleep. One, she didn't want to wake up a sleeping monster😆😆 and secondly he looked serene while he was sleeping since he wasn't brooding or angry in his sleep😳😳😳. As though by reflex or her prayers ,his hold loosened a bit . Taking a cue, Khushi slowly and gently shifted his hands and finally set herself free from his embrace. Finally she got up and looked at him. He was sleeping in an uncomfortable position, but Khushi didn't want to disturb his sleep. She stared at him for a long time and was again disturbed by the vibrating phone. She decided to attend the call, unless she wanted Arnav to wake up, which she definitely didn't want .she would die of embarrassment if he woke up now☺️☺️ . Hurriedly she picked up the phone and moved a bit away from Arnav.

Khushi - Hello ... ( a male voice answered her back)

Voice - Finally ... Minnie , tu kya ghode bech ke so rahi thi ?? Kitni samay se try kar raha hu ... uth !! aur jaldi se tayyar hoja ... 6 baje ko tum log ko waha se nikalna hai !! ...

Khushi - Maaf kijiye ... Hum Khushi bol rahe hai ...

Voice - Khushi !!! (almost screaming in joy😛😛😛 ) ... Khushi !!! tum ho ??? mujhe toh yakeen nahi ho raha hai ... Main Prem, tumhara bhai ... kaisi ho tum ??... yaad bhi hoo mai ??? ... arrey mai bhi kaha tumhe apni baaton mai uljha raha hoo ... tum aa rahi ho na ...tum yaha aa jaao ... phir phursat se baat karenge ... aur mere baaki ke do shaitaan behene kaha hai ??

Khushi - ji ... woh andar so rahi hai ... Muskaan ne hume apna phone diya tha ... hum bahaar baithe the naa ... isiliye ...

Voice - Accha theek hai !!! ...zyaada derr thand mai mat rehna gudiya...tabeeyat kharaab ho jaayegi tumhari ...accha ... kya tum ek kaam karogi mera ??

Khushi - Kahiye ...

Voice - Un dono ko utha dena please ... varna aur late hogaya toh dadi ko mai nahi sambhal sakta ... aur suno , muskaan ko uthane ke liye tumhe zyada koshish karni padegi ... itni aasani se nahi uthegi woh😆😆 ... toh pehle Kaajal ko utha dena ...

Khushi - Ji ... theek hai ... hum kar denge

Voice - Khushi ...

Khushi - Jii ...

Voice - Tumse baat karke accha laga ... aur waise ... Kaajal aur muskaan mujhe Bhai bulati hai ... mujhe accha lagega agar tum bhi mujhe bhai bulao toh ... 😃

Khushi - Hume bhi aapse baat karke accha laga ... Bhai😛😛 ... milte hai ... (she smiled and cut the call)

Khushi was ecstatic at the way her new day had started , she woke up in the arms of Arnav🤗☺️ , she had her sisters who had come to take her back to her family😊😊, she had a brother and most importantly she finally had people who were her own , with whom she shared her blood , she had a person with whom she had a deep connection from her first second of existence , with whom she shared a bonding even before entering this world . Lost in her thoughts , she looked at Arnav who was now sound asleep on the swing . Slowly chillness engulfed her which had nothing to do with how she felt right now. It was actually cold outside. she looked at the time in the phone , it was 4 in the morning. She didn't want him to catch a cold or flu because of the weather and definitely not because of her😳😳 .After all, he had consoled her and made her feel better. Swiftly she went into her room and came back with her shawl and a cushion. She just spread the shawl on Arnav,hoping that it would at least reduce the chillness and adjusted his head on the cushion without waking him up. Now that she was sure, he was a bit comfortable she went back to her room , to find Kaajal come out of bathroom .

Kaajal - Good Morning !! 😛😛(she went ahead and hugged Khushi)

Khushi - Good Morning ... Aap kab aayi ?? hume pata bhi nahi chala ... (she stammered) 😲

Kaajal - Main toh kal raat hi aayi ... tumse phone pe baat karne ke 15minute mai , main yaha pohunch gayi thi ...

Khushi - Hume pata nahi chala ... (embarrassed) ... 🤔

Kaajal - Haan haan ... pata kaise chalta ... madam toh kaafi busy thi ... aur waise bhi hum jaise naacheez ki ab kya zaroorat aapko ?? 😆😆😆(she gave a naughty smile😉😉) ...

Khushi - Jiii😲😲😲 ... (now seriously flushed thinking what if her sister had seen her with Arnav that too in *that* condition) ...☺️

Kaajal - Jiii ?? ... jiii nahi jaldi 😆😆😆...Madamjii ... jaldi jaakar fresh ho jaayiye ... we have to leave by 6 today ... aur is sleeping beauty ko main utha deti hoo ...

Khushi didn't want to face Kaajal at this moment lest she let something out 😳😳, she nodded and went inside the bathroom ,while Kaajal tried waking up Muskaan. After many attempts , finally her younger sis got up , grumpy , angry and confused and was pushed into the bathroom to freshen up by Kaajal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arnav woke up suddenly , he didn't know why but guessed it was because he felt a bit cold .He was kinda confused with his surroundings 😕.Why on earth was he sleeping outside on a swing in an uncomfortable position. Then the events of previous night dawned to him . But if he had held Khushi in his arms , where was she now ?? Why wasn't she here in his arms ?? Was it again one of his dreams where she haunted and teased him ??😳😳 He then had a look at the shawl on him and the cushion near his head and realised it wasn't a dream after all.😉😉 He removed the shawl and saw a kohl mark on his shirt . It was real then ... He had actually had her in his arms , he smiled at the thought 😊😊.Then he remembered, He had woken up once in the middle of the night to find Khushi snuggled in his embrace😉😉😉 .Although he wanted to move her somewhere warmer , he didn't have the heart to disturb her .Frankly he didn't want to disturb their situation, deep down somewhere ,he liked the way they had slept. 😉😉So , he had just let it be as it was and he had tried to hold her closer if it was even possible in their situation .he now rejoiced the feeling of holding her , comforting her and sleeping with her in his arms . He liked the feeling and part of his mind told that he could get used to it ,but where the hell was she now ??😡😡

"Good Morning",said a voice behind him . He jerked his head and felt a stabbing pain in his neck .He realized he had a catch in his neck ,but the pain melted when he saw her, smiling at him 😛😛. Finally she was normal .😃😃😃

Hey guys !!Here comes part 4 😊😊😊

I know it might be a bit boring , but I wanted to get into a bit of details so that there ll b less confusion later 😆😆😆😆 .Sorry there is no Arhi scene in this ...Do lemme know your comments .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"For god's sake ... plz temme is she ready or is she sulking as usual ?? ... cursing herself for all the problems in the Universe right now ?? " , she asked Payal again . Payal didn't know what to tell her , she just stared back at her . Payal always thought , she understood Khushi the best ,but she was a bit jealous that there was someone who knew Khushi and who could predict Khushi better than her. Payal replied ," woh kuch nahi bol rahi ... nahi ro rahi hai ... itna sab kuch hua ... phir bhi... Humne use itna chup kabhi nahi dekha ... Maa Bauji , Buaji aur Nani ne bhi use samjhane ki koshish ki ... lekin woh toh ek patthar ki tarah baithi hai ... Humse uska yeh haal nahi dekha jaa raha ... tum andar kyun nahi aati ... shayad tumhari baat sunle ... " ."Main andar kaise aao ?? Kisine mujhe yaha dekh liya toh sab gadbad ho jaayega ... Phir sabhi poochenge yeh kaun hai ... what is she doing here and blah blah ... I cant take this risk ... Naans ko pata chala toh mera murder kar degi ... " , she replied back .

"Kaajal ... please ... andar aayiye ... hum aisa karte hai ... ek dupatta leke aate hai , aap usse apna chehra dakh lijiye ... phir toh koi nahi dekhega na ... " , saying which Payal was about to leave , when someone whined , " Oh plzz sis ... how long will this take ... " . Kaajal replied , " Yeah ... that's why I asked you to shut up and sleep , but tumhe Sherlock holmes banne ka allergy jo hai ... Dii , aap Minnie ko apne saath le jaao andar . Mai yahi aapka wait karungi ". She was clearly annoyed by her younger sis , why on earth did she have to spy on her ? and Kaajal couldn't afford her Granny to know that she had sneaked out in the middle of the night, so this trouble was tagged along with her for now . She decided to give a nice hearing once they left this hell of a place . But for now she was occupied with much more serious issue of her another sis , Khushi.

Payal came back with a duppata and Kaajal went along with her unnoticed into the room which was at the far end of the house . No one else other than the family knew that Khushi was still in the Gupta household. Once inside ,Kaajal removed the duppata and came near Khushi. Garima, Shashi and Buaji gasped seeing her . She gave them a small smile and said , "Khushi ne mujhe bulaya ... aur isse pehle aap yeh pooche ki mai kaun hoo (indicating Shashi and buaji) , main Khushi ki behen hoo ... Garima masi , aapne Khushi ka itna khayal rakha usse zinda rakha ... iske liye thankyou ... lekin ab Khushi ko aapse door jana hi hoga .." . Garima asked , "Par ... aap ek doosre ko kaise jaante hai ... aur woh insaan ... woh toh isse maar dalega ... ". "Aapne kya socha ki aap usse kahi aur le jaayengi toh hume pata nahi chalega ?? Aur masi , woh insaan ab humara kuch nahi bigaad sakta , maine use aise jagah pohuncha diya hai jaha se woh humara kuch nahi bigaad sakta. ".When Shashi and Buaji looked quizzically at her , Kaajal explained how their chacha had tried to kill the whole family and take over the property from her mom(who was garima's sister) . He had killed their father and pretended it to be an accident . But her father who was clever enough , made sure that he had the property named to his three daughters , Khushi,Kaajal and Muskaan. Although , he tracked down their mother and killed her , her Granny (Nani) fled with the girls to their ancestral home where they were protected. That was when Granny decided to give the responsibility of the three girls to two of her other children. While Khushi was sent off with Garima, Girish(garima's brother) take care of Kaajal and Muskaan. Garima was way too careful and managed to get off the grid after a couple of years with khushi . She and Khushi led a silent and happy life in the Gupta household .

Although Khushi and Muskaan were oblivious of the past, Kaajal wasn't , she knew each and every detail of the man who had torn apart her family .Her Mamu didn't bring her up like a conventional girl , but he bought her up like a guy. She painstakingly planned every step of her revenge and brought down the man to rags and took over the ruined Mehra industries by the time she was 18 . Once a thriving business was next to ruins. Her mamu somehow managed to prevent a takeover of Mehra Group but now his health was giving up , so she joined him in taking care of the business . She was quite successful in making the business stable.

A couple of years back she started searching for Khushi. A Private investigator was successful in getting some details about Khushi once he saw glimpses of her and Arnav on TV . She was a bit late when she reached lucknow , but managed to find out that she was in Delhi. She somehow contacted Khushi and finally after a gap of 9 years the sisters met . Payal also tagged along with Khushi. That was when the sisters decided to stay in touch and break the news to their parents when the time was right. But fate was cruel to them again , the last time she tried calling Khushi, Arnav had broken her phone and unfortunately Khushi didn't remember Kaajal's number. But the turn of events earlier in the day had stressed Khushi soo much that she called Kaajal automatically and Kaajal had come to her.

Slowly , Kaajal went and sat in front of Khushi, " Its been 6 months I guess ... God knows how much I missed you ... seriously tumhe mera number kahi store kar lena chahiye ... ", saying which she touched Khushi's hand. Her touch had done it , Khushi just looked at her twin . Both stared at each other and the dam burst out for Khushi. She just hugged Kaajal and cried her heart out. It was more than an hour now , but Khushi was inconsolable. Even Kaajal couldn't stop her tears from falling out . "Wow ... Miss Khadoos is crying ... this should be "the" wonder of the world ", Muskaan said taking out her mobile. "Don u dare sissy ,you shall be fried if you try to take even a single pic now ", Kaajal glared at her. "arrey ... aap aise kyun keh rahi hai humari choti behen ko ... aap unhe humare saaamne dhumka nahi sakti ..." said Khushi wiping her tears , Kaajal rolled her eyes, thinking how was she going to handle these two together. "Aur Muskaan ... aap ko bhi Kaajal ki baat maan ni chahiye ... agar hum dono ki tasveer abhi baahar nikal gayi toh aafat aa jaayegi". Muskaan just nodded at Khushi. " Wow !!! now you two are a gang eh ?? ... God ! this cartoon(pointing to muskaan) ... never listened to me ever ... and now she just becomes acchi bacchii in front of her (towards Khushi) .." , Kaajal said. Everyone smiled , now that the situation was under control.

**************

Now have we forgotten our Arnav babua ?? ... 😉😉

Well he was driving his Nani back to Sheesh Mahal , slowly ofcourse , when Nani said, " Hume toh yakeen nahi hota chotte ki hum sab bhi us raakshas se dhoka kha gaye ... Hume toh chinta ho rahi hai Anjali bitiya ki ... Pata nahi kaa kare ... Kya socha tha humne aur kaa ho raha hai humre parivaar ke saath ." , she sighed . He said , " Nani .. main uss Shyaam ko chodunga nahi ... Usne mere dii ki zindagi ke saath khela... Arnav singh raizaada ko dhoka kiya ... aap chinta mat kijiye ... " . Nani said , " Aur khushi bitiya toh ...", arnav just stilled a bit . Khushi ... she looked fine ... what was nani talking about. "Woh toh kuch bol hi nahi rahi hai ... Anjali bitiya toh badi hai ... sambhal legi apne aap ko kabhi na kabhi ... par Khushi bitiya toh ... aapko pata hai chotte , hum sab usse baat karne ki koshish kar rahe the , par woh ek murat ki tarah baithi thi ... bas tabhi baat ki, jab unhone us shyaam ko thappad maara . hum toh keh rahe the unke parivaar se , ki unhe rula dijiye toh sahi hoga ... kam se kam dil thoda sa toh halka ho jaayega unka ... hum toh kahet rahe chote , hume unse doobara milna chahiye , thodi dino baad."

Now Arnav was clearly confused. What on earth was Nani talkin about . Khushi wasn't talking ? he could swear on both Heaven and Hell that she did talk , rather shout , yell and to an extent threaten him. He was sure that the turn of events had affected her in a weird way , she wasn't naive but felt dangerous. The aura which she emitted affected him in a different way. And they wanted her to cry? , although he hated her tears and couldn't bear her cry , he would have preferred her tears than her shrill laugh, her calculating and piercing eyes and her cutting voice . Her words had hurt him before but today , they had cut him , pierced him and burnt him . She wasn't the Khushi whom he knew ... She was something else ... and to think of it ,she did look different, her clothes were jeans and a shirt , her hair was wavy and not straight , and it had red streaks !!! He wondered if it was the trick of lightings or what he saw was true ... "arrey chote ... kaha jaa rahe hai ... aapko yaha daaye mudna tha ...",said nani . Arnav came back to his senses and took the right route to Sheesh Mahal.

As soon as he entered Sheesh Mahal , his manager called him up , "Sir ,Ms Kaajal Mehra ne request kiya hai aapse ki aap unhe apna helipad use karne ki permission de. She wants it for tonight. She is ready to pay any amount for it." Arnav who was quite busy snapped,"Ab yeh sab mujhe kyun bata rahe ho . Tumhe naukri pe isliye rakha hai ki tum yeh decision le sako and mujhe irritate nahi hona pade . Get that ?? " .He went to console his sister.

*************

"Thank you . Yes aapki payment mai aate hi kar doongi . and what place did u say ? Sheesh Mahal right. I shall be there in an hour or so. ", Kaajal cut the call . "Chalo chalo ... saara din nahi hai humare paas. Jaldi nikalna hai hume yaha se . " she came back and said to Khushi.

Here comes part 5 😊😊:
Although no direct ArHi scenes 😕😕 , I have managed to make them think about each other 😉😉😉 .

If you guys wanna receive PM's when I update , plz add me as a buddy ... it would be easier for a lazy soul like me 😳😳😳😳

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*******************

Anjali had cried enough thought Arnav. His heart was shattered into a million pieces when he saw his sister in tears🥺🥺🥺🥺. She cried even more once he hugged her to console her😭😭😭. After what seemed like ages, she calmed down a bit.

Arnav – Dii ... Aap fikhar mat karo. Main us haraam khor ko nahi chodunga. Usne hume dhoka diya ... meri dii ko rulaya ... main use nahi chodunga 😡😡😡😡 . Aur us Khushi ...

Anjali – Nahi chote ... Khushiji ko iske bare mai kuch nahi pata tha😔 ... usne khushiji ko bhi dhoka diya ... khushiji toh sirf apne parivaar ki khushi ke liye yeh shaadi kar rahi thi😲😲 ... hume toh sochke bhi darr lagta hai ki agar hum waha waqt pe nahi pohunchte toh kya ho jaata ...🤢🤢🤢

Arnav – Dii ... aap abhi tension mat lo ... mai sab sambhal loonga ... us Shyaam ko aur us Khushi Kumari Gupta ko bhi ...

Anjali – Chote ... (in a low voice , Arnav raised his eyebrows) ... hume ... hume ... us insaan ke saath koi rishta nahi rakhna ... hume talaaq chahiye ... jitna jaldi ho sake ... 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Arnav – Diii ?? ... aap thodi derr aaraam karlo ... phir baat karenge ... 😕😕

Anjali – Nahi chote ...humara faisla waqt ke saath nahi badlega... us insaan ke saath kya rishta rakhna jo rishton ka ehmiyat nahi jaanta ... jo humari kadar nahi karta ... usne hamare saath jo kiya woh galat tha ... par usne jo khushi ke saath karne ki koshish ki (she shuddered🤢🤢)... unhe aise rishtey main baandhne ki koshish ki jiska is samaaj mai koi izzat nahi hai ... usne khushiji ke majboori ka faayda uthane ki koshish ki ... hum toh sambhal jaayenge chote ... par khushiji ... woh toh toot chuki hai ... (arnav was about to interrupt🥱) ... nahi chote ... isme Khushiji ka koi dosh nahi hai ... arrey woh insaan toh humse jhoot bolta aa raha hai ... shaadi ke 6 mahino se ... hum hi paagal the ki uski baaton mai aa gaye ... agar khushiji nahi hoti toh koi aur hoti ...

Arnav – theek hai dii ... abhi aap so jaao ... lawyer se kal baat karenge ...

Anjali – Chote ... agar ho sake toh kal hume khushiji se bhi baat karni hai ... (arnav just nodded and left)

**********

As Arnav walked towards his room , he went through what his sister had said . One thing was sure , he couldn't let his sister be with Shyaam anymore👍🏼 and he was further disturbed by what he had almost done to Khushi😡😡. Yes , he was planning to have a relation with her which is detested by the society😡😡. Khushi wouldn't have had any right over him legally or emotionally once he had used her .Arnav shuddered at the mere thought of what he figured out🤢🤢🤢🤢 . He was further convinced that Khushi had no knowledge about the creep, Khushi the girl who gave him lectures about marriage , the girl who had mentioned that it would be a biggest insult to her if someone wanted to have a live-in relationship with her . She would rather die than be the one who would break a marriage knowingly.

Quite lost with his thoughts , he almost bumped into his manager who was frantic.

Arnav – Kya hua ? 😡😡

Manager – Sir ... woh ... ek problem ho gayi hai ...(Arnav raised his eyebrows) ... sir woh ... Ms.Mehra ne permission maangi thi aaj raat humari helipad use karne ki ... par ... baahar ki haalat theek nahi hai ... aur authorities ne mana kar diya hai aaj kisi bhi flight ko udne ki😲😲😲😲 ... kal subah tak koi flight nahi nikal sakti ... aur Ms.Mehra ka phone bhi nahi lag rahi🥱🥱🥱🥱 ... woh almost aa rahi hogi ...

Arnav – tumse koi kaam theek se hota hai ki nahi😡😡😡😡 ... try contacting them again ...

************

Meanwhile Kaajal , Khushi and Muskaan were on their way to sheesh mahal . (I shall spare you guys the goodbye scenes at gupta household😊😊 , in short everyone had a tearful time 😭😭😭😭😭😭) . Seeing khushi's sombre mood , kaajal tried to talk to her .

Kaajal – lo ... kuch toh accha hua😕 ... kam se kam ... ab hum log ek saath rahenge ... poore 9 saal ki baatein aur masti poori karni hai ... what say Minnie ??

Muskaan – I say its cool ... waise khush dii ... frankly speaking ... aapko toh khush hona chahiye ... (khushi turned towards her😕😕😕😕😕) ... thank god aapki shaadi us moron se nahi hui ...atleast ab aap kisi smart ,handsome aur dashing ladke se shaadi kar sakte hai😉😉😉😉😉 ... I cant imagine calling that creep Shyaam"my jeeju" ...🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Khushi – pata nahi muskaan ... humara mann ab shaadi se ghabraata hai😔 ... hume nahi lagta ki hum kabhi shaadi karenge😲😲😲 ...

Kaajal – oh come'on khushi ... yeh kya keh rahi ho ?? ... ek incident ki wajah se life khatam nahi ho jaati ... aur waise bhi kaun keh raha hai ki kal hi shaadi karlo ... main toh kehti hoo ... tumhe kuch aur karna chahiye jisse tumhara mind divert ho ... aur kya pata ... aage tumhe tumhara charming prince mil jaaye😳😳😳 ?? ...

Khushi – Kya karenge Kaajal ?? ... hume toh kuch samajh mai nahi aaraha ... aisa lag raha hai ki hum kahi kho gaye hai ...

Kaajal – Accha hai ... (khushi looked at her confused😕😕😕😕) ... dekh yaar ... zindagi itni bhi zaalim nahi ho sakti ... mera toh yehi maan na hai ... agar saare roads block ho gaye hai ... toh thodi derr wait karna chahiye ... shayad koi raasta mil jaaye ... par haan ... wait karte time , try karte rehna chahiye sahi raasta dhoondne ki ... Look ... I have a perfect song for you ...

She then played the song Fireworks by Katy Perry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw&ob=av2e

(actually guys , i just love this song , amazing lyrics😊😊😊😊)...

Muskaan – Oye madam ... tumhare roads ki lecture aur song dedication mai , wrong turn lene jaa rahi ho 😆😆😆😆... Sheesh Mahal ka road yeh hai ... woh nahi ...(showing the map in her phone)...

Kaajal – Oopsie ... (took the right road) ... lo aa gaye ... 😳😳😳

Khushi froze at the sight of Sheesh Mahal 😲😲. All her problems had started here on that fateful night .The night she met Arnav , the night she was lost in his eyes when he had saved her from falling , the night he had misbehaved with her ... the night her sister's marriage was broken.Kaajal asked her to get down and when she opened stepped out , she felt a gush of wind wipe her informing her about his presence ❤️❤️❤️.Automatically ,her eyes wandered in search of him. 😳😳😳

****************

Arnav who was looking through some files regarding Shyaam was suddenly overcome by an urge to run and scoop Khushi in his arms❤️❤️❤️😳😳. He felt her presence .It cant be true , he told himself😕😕 . She couldn't possibly be here. She isn't here ,he convinced himself. There was no logical reason for her to be here . If he were to believe his sister and nani ,she was at her home , broken , quiet and emotionless. The picture of her being in such a state was enough for him to throw the file in his hand😡😡😡 . He couldn't stand her being in such a state . He had to meet her sometime soon ,why he didn't know , what he would say her he didn't know . But he had to make sure she was fine . But why was he feeling her presence now😕😕 ? Automatically , as though they had a mind of their own , his legs started to move towards the hall 😉😉😉, his heart started to beat frantically ,he might have even prayed that the feeling of her presence be true .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please do let me know your comments 😊😊 ...

Also , I have a question ... do u want Arnav to know abt Kaajal very soon or want him to know abt her a bit later with some dhamaka n confusion ... do lemme know

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just then her twin entered the room which shocked everyone further ,both of them had dressed exactly alike, although the new entrant's hair was shorter and a bit wavy. "Sorry ... I am late ... (turning towards her twin, giving her a customary hug and kissing her hair whilst she was still seated) ... not fair ... did I miss all the *fun* ?? ... "

" Khush don temme ... I missed *main tumhe nahi chodunga * dialogues " . 😉😉

Everyone was shocked hearing that who they had mistaken for Kaajal was actually Khushi . 😲😲

Arnav ' Khushi !😲😕(in his husky voice) ... tum Khushi ho ???

Kaajal - ofcourse she is ... (with an amused expression ,sitting next to her twin) ... kyun ... don temme you didnt recognise her ... (she said patting Khushi's back) ... Wow !! KK ... you are becoming *really* good at this ... 😊

Khushi ' isme kya hai ... battameez aur jhalli jaise baat karni thi ... aur yaha waha thodi bahut tumhari ghise pite dialogues maarne the 😆😆...mera kaam itna mushkil nahi tha 😉... waise kaam hua ??

Kaajal - yup !!! as usual ... (giving her a file) ... delivered as promised👍🏼 ...*just on time* ... although bhai ko pakadne ke liye mujhe thode signals todne pade since he was leaving to Australia in some time ...for which I am *pretty* sure kal fine ka ticket ghar aayega and btw tumhe ticket ka price pay karna padega .😆😆... but anyways ho gaya ... tumhe yeh papers aaj hi dene the ... so here they are ...

Anjali - kya hai yeh ?? ...

Khushi - shares ke transfer ke papers anjaliji ... 😊(everyone looked shocked . Both the sisters smiled looking at their expressions) ...

Khushi - (signed the papers and passed on to Kaajal to sign them which she did) ... Naniji humne yeh shares aapke naam pe kar diya hai 👍🏼... aapko kya laga ??? ki hum AR ko apne paas rakhenge ya aise hee kisi aire gaire insaan ke haaton main jaane denge ?? ... humne bhale hi 2 saal baahar bitaye hai , par humne hamesha aap sabki , AR ki aur Shyaam ki khabar rakhi hai 👍🏼👍🏼... jab hume pata chala ki woh aapke chacha se mil raha hai ...

Kaajal - toh isne uske peeche investigators laga diya ... aur dheere dheere Mr.Mallik ke saare assests ko khareed liya ... so that finally woh shares aur property humare under ho jaaye👍🏼👍🏼 ... I must say Khush ... that was brilliant ... I mean ... tumne mujhe bhi nahi bataya last week tak ?? ... Master stroke ... 👏👏(Arnav gave her a shocking yet praising look 😉😉)

Khushi - .. Mehra group ke 5 directors hai ... aur yeh shares Mehra group ke naam pe hai ... is papers par saare directors ke signs hai ...toh abse AR ke saare shares Raizaada parivaar ke paas rahenge ...

Nani - par ... bitiya ... aap aisa kyun kar hai ?? ...hum ise kabool nahi kar sakte ... 😔

Khushi - (walked towards Nani and kept the papers on her lap while kneeling down) .. Naniji ... aapne humari zindagi tabah hone se bachaya ... agar aap nahi hoti toh shaayad hum yaha tak kabhi nahi aa pate ... Us din se aap humare liye Devi Maiyya ke roop ho ... toh ise (pointing at the papers ) humari taraf se humari Devi Maiyaa jaisi Naniji ke liye ek choti si bhent samajh lijiye ... 😉(saying which she touched her feet)

Nani - (smiled and held Khushi's face in her hands) ... Khushi bitiya ... hume toh darr tha ki kahi baahar ki hawa lagkar aap kahi badal na gayi ho ... humara darr galat nikla ... aapne kaafi kuch seekha hai ... jo is duniya mai tikne ke liye zaroori hai ... par hume is baat ki Khushi hai ki aap aaj bhi apne sanskaar ko nahi bhooli ... 👍🏼(she kissed her forehead) ...

Kaajal - arre waah ... kyaa baat hai ... aadhi mehnat mai karu ... aur poori credit yeh le ... 😆😆

Khushi ' (now rolling her eyes) naniji ... humne kaha tha na ... humari ek aur behen hai jisse aap milna chahti thi ... Kaajal ... 😊

Kaajal - (she just folded her hands in namaste) ... Sorry Naniji ... apne maata pita ke pairon ke alawa main kisi aur ke pair ko nahi chooti ... but aapse milke kaafi accha laga ...

Khushi - (almost angry on her) ... Kaajal ... yeh ky...😡

Nani - Koi baat nahi Kaajal bitiya ... kuch log pairon ko choone ke bahane logon ke pairon ke neeche ke zameen kheench lete hai ... hume khushi hui ki aap jo sochti hai woh bina darr ke sabse kehti hai ...aur waise bhi ... sirf riti riwaazon ka paalan karne se hi izzat nahi banti😊 ... izzat dil se karna chahiye ... aapse milke hume bhi Khushi mili ...

Anjali - Par Khushiji ... aap yeh shares hume kyun wapis karna chahti hai ?? ... karodon ki baat hai ye ...

Khushi - (now getting up) ... anjaliji ... har cheez paison se nahi toli jaa sakti ... Is company ne hume kaam karne ka pehla mauka diya hai ... musibat ke samay par humare jeena ka sahara bana ... hum bas ise barbaad hote hue nahi dekh sakte ... aur rahi baat shares ki ... Raizaada parivaar ne hume apni pehchaan banane ka mauka diya ... in sab ke badle mai yeh shares kaafi choti si cheez hai ... Naniji ... ab yeh shares aapke naam pe hai ... aap AR ki sabse badi shareholder hai ... toh aap hi decide kar sakti hai ki kaun kaunsi office sambhalte hai (she stole a glance at Arnav😉 who just looked like a sculpture, since he was still not able to digest what had happened in the last 36 hrs😆)

Mama - par hum ise aise kaise accept kare Khushi ?? ...

Kaajal - waise ...aap chahe toh ek kaam kar sakte hai ...😉 (with a slight grin on her face) ...

Khushi - (looking a bit shocked) .. Kya ?? ... 😕

Kaajal - haan ... mere paas ek proposal hai ... aap chahe toh accept karke in shares ko accept kar sakte hai ... ya (now Khushi looked at Kaajal with a bit of confusion and amusement) ... mere proposal to reject karke in shares ko accept kar sakti hai ...😆😉

Khushi - (pulling aside Kaajal and in a hushed voice) ... Kyaa kar rahi hai tu ?? ... apna plan toh yaha se jald se jald nikalne ka tha naa ...yeh proposal kya hai ??😕😕 (she wasn't aware of another person keenly listening to them i.e Arnav)

Kaajal - (in the same hushed voice) arrey yeh log maan nahi rahe hai ... toh kuch toh karna padega na ...

Khushi - dekh ... Kaajal ... please apna yeh evil mind use mat kar ... chalte hai ... chahe toh merese kuch bhi le le ...

Kaajal - Really ?? tumhari Audi ?? ... cool ... sooo sweet of you ... tu mujhe bribe kar rahi hai ?? 😆😆

Khushi - Kaa..

Nani - yeh kya aapas mai baat kar rahi ho tum dono ????

Kaajal - woh actually hum yeh decide kar rahe the ki apna proposal kya hoga ...

Anjali - toh boliye naa ...

Kaajal ' hmmm ... guidance ... ya ... aap ise joint venture keh sakte hai ... 👍🏼

Arnav - for what ??

Kaajal - well ... hum log ... i mean ... Khushi is working on her first project of bridal collection ... so if it is OK with all of you , aap mai se koi ... I mean either Arnav or Aakash can help her with it ...

Khushi ' KYA ??😲 ... na...(she was wondering what her sister was upto. She now regretted the fact the she hadn't shared the fact about her behaviour around Arnav with her twin)

Kaajal ' oh comeon KK ... even *I* cant help you with it ... I mean I or Bhai have never worked on launching of designer labels ... inka expertise isme hai ... toh problem kya hai unki help lene mai ...👍🏼 (seeing Khushi was about to answer ) ... I know ki tum ise khud handle karna chahti ho ... from the scratch ... n its not that I don't have total trust in you ... but ... an expert opinion is an expert opinion na ??😉😉 ... (Khushi looked at her twin asthough she was gonna kill her and Kaajal dodging her stare went towards Mamaji😆 ) ... what say Mr.Raizaada ?? (to Mama) ...

Mama ' hmmm ... hume toh is proposal se koi problem nahi hai ... kyun amma ? (to nani who just smiled and nodded)

Anjali ' par ... designing toh chote sambhalte hai ... 😉

Kaajal ' chote ??😕😕 (making a puzzled face ) ... ab yeh *chotte* kaun hai ?? (she looked at Khushi who was futilely signalling her to shut up 😆)

Arnav ' (who now looked really annoyed at his sister) ... diii ... aapse kitni baar kaha hai ... 😳😳😳

Anjali ' accha baba ... hum bhool gaye the ki sabke saamne hume tumhe chotte nahi bulana ... 😆😉

Kaajal ' Whaa ?? 🤣🤣🤣(she looked at Khushi , while Arnav glared at Kaajal. One look at Arnav , Kaajal coudnt control her laughter , she tried her best to maintain a straight face) ...

Khushi ' (coming to her sister's rescue,not knowing what to do she did what she did the best, blabber nonstop😆😆) ... ji ... designing ke department toh Arnavji sambhalte hai ... aur waise bhi woh aur bhi kayi departments sambhalte hai ... toh unke paas toh time nahi hoga naa ... woh kaise humare saath kaam kar paayenge ... hain na Arnavji ?? (she was desperately trying to make sure he denies the proposal ,which amused Kaajal a bit)

Kaajal ' (now allowing Arnav to answer) but ... cant you squeeze out a tiny bit of time for this proposal ?? dono companys k liye faayda hoga ... I mean ofcourse if you are our partner we can give you at max 30% of profit ... i am talking with respect to the profit from bridal collection ...

Khushi ' (again not allowing Arnav to answer) arrey ... inke paas to kaafi kaam hai ... saans lene ki phursat nahi hogi ... aur tu expect karti hai ki yeh aur kaam le ... tu bhi na Kaajal ...(turning towards Arnav and trying her best to look at him) ... Arnavji hum jaante hai ki aapke paas kaafi kaam hai ... aur aap personally ek aur deal nahi kar paayenge ...

Arnav ' Ek minute (raising his voice)...tumse kisne keh diya ki main nahi kar sakta ?? ...
