Khushi's eyes bloomed seeing the blue lotus in the pond.She was relieved and her relief brought smile o her face.
K:That means I have not broken anyone's heart.Lavanyaji is happy.Thank God.
Khushi was massaging Jayashree's legs with oil.
K:How do you feel now Naniji?
N:Much better.
Khushi smiled:Oil massage s really god.
J:Khushi,you were always like my grand daughter.But when Lavanya left us I was very upset foe some time.
Khushi's face became dull.
J:But now I don't even think of Lavanya. You don't let me think f Lavanya.Because you are a good daughter in law also.
Khushi smiled emotionally.
K:Naniji,do you think I conquered Lavanyaji's place cruelly?
J:No Khushi'never.You are the one who meant for this family.Only you could conquer Chottu's heart.
Khushi smiled and rested her head on Jayashree's lap.Jaashree caressed her head.
Khushi went to the bed room.
It was dark.She saw Arnav lighting the candle.
He looked at her.They both smiled at each other.She went towards him.
He took a bead necklace.She was surprised.
He placed it around her neck.
She blushed.
They both looked at each other.They drowned in each there's eyes.
K:Arnavji,how long can you look at my face?
A:Forever..because your eyes are so attractive.It has some magical power which pulls me towards you.
She blushed.
Arnav kept looking at her eyes.His eyes had to say a lot to Khushi.
'Aaoge jab tum o saajana, angna phool khilenge
Barsega saawan jhoom-jhoom ke, do dil aise milenge
Aaoge jab tum o saajana angna phool khilenge...
Naina tere kajrare hain, naino pe hum dil haare hain
Anjane hi tere naino ne vade kiye kai sare hain
Sanson ki laya maddham chale, tose kahe barsega saawan
Barsega saawan jhoom-jhoom ke, do dil aise milenge
Aaoge jab tum o saajana, angna phool khilenge
...'{Jab we met}.
Lavanya's husband Rahul was oiling her hair deeply.
L:Rahul,do you know?I started oiling my hair only after meeting Khushi'my Chamkli.It's really nice.I feel very nice.
R:You always talk about Khushi.But because of your best friend Khushi your marriage got broken.
Lavanya's face became dull.
Rahul felt sorry.He tried to change the topic.
R:Anyways your Chamkili's idea is good.Oiling your hair is really romantic.
Lavanya blushed.
L:Rahul,you are so loving.I did'nt get love from the man I loved.Anyways everything was for my good.Actually Arnv and Khushi helped me by having an affair.Otherwise I would not have gotten you.
Rahul smiled.
R:You don't love Arnav at all?
L:No.The moment I realized that he married me by hiding his relationship with the poor Khushi my love for him vanished.Arnav was not completely wrong.That's why I cleared his misunderstandings about Khushi and united them.I am happy that I did the right thing.But Arnav I my first love.It can't be changed.Right?But the best thing I did in my life Is marrying you.My love for Arnav made me a fool.But my love for me made me feel special'.It made me reach the top of the world.
Rahul smiled:You are the best part of my life Lavanya.
They both smiled at each other.
L:But Rahul..your family is still against our marriage.Because I am a divorcee.
R:I don't care as I am sure that won't get a better wife.
She smiled.
L: The whole society is against me as I did remarriage. Everybody thinks that I have done a crime by divorcing my husband and having remarriage.But I don't care.The norms the society cannot weaken me.I am very strong.Because you are the only person who can love me.
Rahul smiled.
R:I have finished oiling your scalp and hair.Now go have a good bath.Then come back o me.
They both giggled.
Lavanya came out wearing a red saree with her wet hair open.
Rahul could'nt take his eyes of her.
She went towards him and whispered in his ears in the form of a beautiful romantic song in a sweet voice:
'Chahoon bhi toh main kaise kahoon
Saari zubaan te dil kehta hai
Lehar sapno ki kaise ginu
Dariya behta hi rehta hai
Keh rahi hai kya yeh suno, meri khamoshiyan
Raat se hai lambhi kahin, dil ki yeh daastaan
Kaise kahoon''(Force}.
Rahul pulled her closer to him and sang looking deeply into her seductive eyes,hair and lips:
'Hum kyun kahe, joban kahe, ik baat hai jana
Dhadkan kahe, dhadkan sune, woh raat hai jana
Dil bole bin, hai bolta
Sab raaz hai, yeh kholta
Jab khwaab hai, jazbaat hai, ehsaas hai
Toh kehna kya, toh sun.na kya, awaaz hai''
Khushi heard noise from the neighboring house.She looked out.She was surprised to see the person who stepped inside the house.
