Chapter 4:
Khushi left the room quickly walking down in a slightly less happy mood.
Buaji came up to her and asked, "Sankadevi what's wrong?"
"Kuch nahi buaji hume mithai." Khushi said with a sly smile.
"Hay re nand kishore iss ladki ko mithai ke alava kuch dikhta nahi." Buaji said. "Ab go get your mithai you're chachi and I are going to Simran's room to get her ready." Buaji noticed Khushi's face fall when she mentioned her chachi.
"Khushi bitiya don't worry your chachi won't say anything to you today." buaji said. Khushi smiled at her. "Ab jao go get your mithai." Buaji said.
Khushi smiled and fluttered away in search of mithai. What she didn't know was that Anjali was listening to her conversation.
Khushi walked towards the mithai and saw Arnav at her left. "Hey devi maiya please don't send that laad governor anywhere near me until I get my mithai." Khushi said.
Arnav turned around hearing her and shook his head with a small smile and he made his way back to his family.
"Karan I was over heard Khushi and her buaji, what's with your mother in law and khushi?" Anjali asked as she stood next to naniji and mamiji.
"Oh no did she say anything to Khushi?" Karan asked worried.
"No why?" Anjali asked.
"It's just that she doesn't like Khushi that much." Karan said.
"I don't blame her." Arnav said sulking at the side.
"Chotey." Anjali said shaking her head.
"Anjali di please don't mention it in front of Khushi." Karan said not wanting his sali to be upset on his wedding day.
"Don't worry." Anjali said smiling. At that moment Khushi was walking by with a small plate of ladoos. Smiling she popped two in her mouth one by one.
"Khushi you know you can eat them right? You don't need to swallow them." Karan said making Anjali laugh.
"Karan! Mithai!" Khushi said with a dreamy face.
"Are you serious for mithai?" Arnav asked in disbelief as he saw this thin girl stuff her face with those nasty sugary things.
"What you don't like mithai?" Khushi said. But before Arnav could answer she said, "Of course not a bitter person can never like sweet things."
"What the." Arnav said as the others laughed.
"Actually Khushi chotey has diabetes." Anjali somehow said in between her laughter.
"Kya!" Khushi said. Feeling guilty for making fun of someone with a disease Khushi looked at Arnav "Sorry I didn't know." She said.
Arnav's heart fell when he saw Khushi's sad face, "It's okay." He quickly said surprising Anjali and Karan.
Arnav's phone rang and he picked up, "Akash where are you?" He asked into the phone.
"Anyways Karan there's only a little bit of time till you finally get married." Khushi said smiling widely with a mischief look.
"Haan toh." Karan asked knowing he was going to fall into a trap.
"Naniji, Anjali I'm giving my pyaari cousin to Karan right?" Khushi said.
"Haan." They both said.
"So I should get something in return right?" Khushi said making nani and anjali laugh.
"Tell me Ms. Gupta what can I do for you." Karan said slouching his shoulders.
Before Khushi could answer her phone went off, "Challo maiya ki bhavan."
"What the." Arnav said hearing the ringtone.
"Hello?" Khushi answered. "Kya Jiji I'm coming no don't bring her down until I come up there." Khushi said into the phone.
After hanging up Khushi popped three more ladoos into her mouth and said with her mouth full, "Gotta go." and left to run up the stairs.
"Khushi bitiya kitni pyaari ladki hai na." Naniji said.
"Haan nani she's one of a kind." Karan said laughing.
Khushi ran up the stairs and opened the door to see Simran fully dressed in her dulhan's lengha.
"Oh my god Simmi you look beautiful." Khushi said smiling at her.
"Haan hamari Simmi toh bari pyaari lag rahi hai." Payal said, "Bechara Karan ka kya haal hoga tumhe dekhe." Payal said laughing.
"Challo girls it's time to go." Chachi said coming in with buaji.
"Haan challo challo." Khushi said excitedly.
"Tum yahan!" Chachi said making a disgusted face at Khushi.
"Mom please." Simran said. "Don't start right now I want Khushi here."
"No Simran this abshagun will not be here. I told you to stay away from the wedding Khushi. Along with being an abshagun you are a insolent girl as well, you can't even listen to your elders." Chachi blasted on Khushi.
"Mom!" Simran started to yell.
"No Sim sorry Chachi I'll leave from here. Jiji, Sim I'll see you come down the stairs instead." Khushi said sadly, her tears almost spilling.
"Khushi please." Simran said not wanting Khushi to go.
"Nahi Sim it's your wedding you need your Amma here." Khushi said before she ran out of the room.
Arnav saw Khushi run out of the room. "Arrey Khushi is here where are the others?" Anjali asked.
"Woh Anjali they are coming." Khushi said keeping her head down not wanting anyone to see her tears.
"Khushi tum thik ho?" Karan tried to ask before Khushi ran away.
"Isse kya hua?" Karan wondered if his mother in law had anything to do with Khushi's saddness.
Khushi made her way to her Amma and Bapuji.
Garima noticed the sad look on her daughter's face and noticed the dried stream of tears. "Khushi kya hua?" She asked.
"Kuch nahi Amma." Khushi said smiling.
"Khushi hum thore Amma Bapuji hai. We know when something is wrong." her bapuji said.
A tear escaped Khushi's eyes and Garima rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. A minute later they saw Simran come down the stairs with Payal, Buaji, and Chachi.
"Yeh Damini jiji bhi na." Garima said shaking her head knowing that was the reason her daughter was upset.
"Khushi did she tell you to leave?" Garima asked.
Khushi's lip quivered and she nodded her head. "Khushi don't worry if she even says anything else I'll answer." Garima said not liking anyone messing with her daughter.
"Garima shant ho jao Damini's daughter is getting married today." Bapuji said.
"Haan toh that's no excuse for treating Khushi like she has been every since." Garima stopped when Simran came towards them for their blessing. Garima noticed Khushi turn around to wipe her tears and saw her turn around smiling her beautiful smile acting as if nothing was wrong.
"Tum ab tak yahi pe hi hai." Damini said spotting Khushi. "Didn't I tell you to leave!" She said as the room became quiet everyone staring at them.
