CHAPTER V
Arnav looked at Khushi. "wow she is beautiful when she blushes" he thought to himself.
"Khushi looked at arnav nervously "love marriage indeed" she said to herself "If only naani knew the real truth" she silenty whispered.
"Khushi, Anjali and i are going to temple today if you would like to join us" Naani said
"Yes Naani that will be nice i shall just go and get ready" khushi replied.
Arnav watched as she walked up the stairs, As he did so he dialled his phone "Aman i need to cancel the meetings i have today...i dont care god damn it ...reschedule them" he shouted
"Everything ok Arnav?" enquired Naani
"Yes Naani, ummm khushi still doesnt look well so i will come with you today" he hastily replied
"very well arnav" naani grinned
*arnavs bedroom*
Khushi was busy brushing her hair when arnav walked in.
"hurry up khushi everyone is waiting for you" he said
"why must you always scold me arnavji, i havent done anything wrong this morning and already your angry with me" khushi said exasperated.
"I shall wait for you downstairs khushi" he replied before turning back round "sorry" he added
Khushi looked in the mirror, shock clearly registered on her face. wow the laard govenor actually said sorry, she thought. She finished getting ready and was heading downstairs when she met Shyam on the stairs.
"Come on khushi i shall escort you downstairs" sneered Shyam
She was just about to push him aside when she she felt a pull on her hand, she looked up to see Arnav behind her.
"Its ok i am here now brother in law, i shall escort MY wife"he said
Khushi allowed herself to be taken in hand downstairs by Arnav.
"ahhh look at these two love birds" giggled Manorama"they cant leave each other alone" she added
Arnav and khushi both looked at each other. Arnav chuckled to himself as he saw khushi blush once again.
"Little miss torn sari is little miss beetroot" Manorama shrieked
Payal hurridley directed Manorama out the door and the others followed suit.
"Arnavji you dont have to be nice to me when the others are not around" whispered khushi
"this morning you told me off for scolding you and now your scolding me for being nice. your crazy khushi" arnav grinned.
Khushi looked at her husband her heartbeat beating fast, why the sudden change she thought? and why did he react like that when snake had offered to escort her.
On the way to the temple Khushi found herself sat in between Arnav and Shyam in the car. Every so often she would glance up and Arnav, who sat there breathing heavy through gritted teeth.
She was so absorbed in looking at Arnav she didnt feel Shyams hand on hers till it was too late
Arnav looked round at Shyam and then down to his hand on his wifes.
"what the...man if di wasnt in this car i would of punched him by now" he said to himself.
His anger immediatly subsided when he looked in to khushi's eyes and saw the fear radiating out of them.
He reach out and took Khushis hand in to his own and placed them on his leg. He looked into her eyes and saw a silent thank you in them.
Shyam looked at Arnav with anger. He was staring for some time unti he finally realised what his next action would be.
*Anjali dear, when we are finished in temple, i need to go shopping so you go home and i shall go to the mall" shyam grinned at his unsuspecting wife.
"Khushi, would you come with me as i want to get something special for my love" he sneered.
Anjali giggled, she was so lucky to have him as a husband she thought. "Will that be ok khushi" asked Anjali
Khushi didnt reply but felt Arnavs hands squeeze hers in reassurance.
"No di, i have taken the whole day off from the office to spend it with my wife" he calmly replied for khushi.
"Choti i shall let you spend this day wth her, but you have to let us see her sometimes" giggled Anjali
Shyam just sat there, tryng to work out his next move. Things had not gone as he had planned he thought. He didnt know why Khushi was not accepting her love for him.
During temple i shall speak with her, make her see how much i need her. Anjali and Arnav can go to hell he thought.
*meanwhile in another car*
"I think our son in law shyam sees khushi as his little sister, what say mother in law" enquired Manorama
"What nonsense are you talking about now manorama "sighed Naani
Manorama nudged Payal and winked at her
"Umm Naani i think that what Mother in law is trying to say is that Shyam really seems quite taken to our khushi" payal replied word for word from what Manorama had wrote down for her to say.
"yes i had noticed that too" replied Naani "Its good we have a close family isnt it" she added.
Manorama winked again at Payal. "see payal, this is how you plant seeds in peoples head, this is something i am very good at" she whispered to payal.
Payal nodded at her mother in law. Oh how she wished she could discuss this with khushi, but time and time again her mother law had reminded her that these things will take time to come out right. She sat back relaxed in the car wondering what Manoramas next move would be.
Little did she know that in the other car, shyam had already planned his next move, that would shock everyone...
