An hour later..
Amma: Khusi,come here bitiya.Today I'll wash ur hair.
Khushi: No thanks amma!I'll manage on my own
Buaji: How shall u manage on ur own,Nandkisore? Let ur Amma do it for u. Ur hair hav become very oily.
Amma: U havent washed ur hair since the day u fell in the temple.Thats y ur hair hav become so greasy.Come with me.I'll wash it nicely today!
Khushi: Ok amma.But plz dont wash the front part of my hair.
Amma: Y?
Khushi: My sindoor will get washed away..
Buaji: So what?Dont u hav ur sindoor ki dibbiya with u?Reapply it after ur bath!
Khushi: No buaji!Arnavji had applied this sindoor in my parting.I want this to b there in my parting till I meet him!
Buaji: Hav u lost it?U'll get to meet Arnav babua a week later.If u dont wash ur hair till then,ur hair will resemble a horse's tail!
Amma: And ur scalp will b full of boils!
Buaji: Yes!And the moment Arnav babua sees u,he will run away! Then u keep meeting ur Arnavji in ur dreams!
Khushi: Buaji,amma! Y r u both scaring me?
Amma: We're not trying to scare u.We're only trying to help u see the point,bitiya.Ur hair will get dull & damaged if u dont wash them for a week.Come with me.I will make sure that ur sindoor is not completely washed off,okay?
Khushi: Amma.. leave it naa!
Buaji: Sanka devi,shall u go on ur own or shall I throw u inside the bathroom?
Khushi(makes a face): I'll go on my own..
She reluctantly goes with amma to the bathroom.
Buaji(with her hand on her head): Hay re Nandkisore! From the time Arnav babua left,this Sanka devi has become much more crazy! Its good that Arnav babua didnt apply mehndi on her hands! ElseParmeswari would'nt have washed her hands for 11 days! Pagaliya!

That afternoon,4 pm,Shantivan..
Anjali enters Arnav's room with a paperbag.
Anjali: All set,Chhotey?
Arnav: Ya di.U all hav given me too many things!
Anjali: No issues!Take them along,they'll b of good use over there!
Arnav: Okay.
Anjali: The most important thing is right here,with me!
She takes out her saree from the paperbag.
Arnav: Thanks di! U've kept the saree in sucha great condition since so many years!
Anjali: I had to! Afterall my Chhotey had designed this saree! Take this.. (hands him paperbag)It'll look wonderful on Khushiji!
Arnav hugs her.
Arnav: Thank u so much di!
Anjali: U dont need to thank me again n again!(cups his cheek)All I want is that my Chhotey & bhabhi should always b happy!
Arnav kisses her hand.
Arnav: I want the same thing,di-u,me,Khushi,the family,I wish we always stay together,happily!
Anjali(smiles): Now dont waste time in talking! Finish ur Packing and then come downstairs.
Arnav: Packing is done.I just hav to keep this saree in my bag.Then I'll shave & shower & then get ready to leave!
Anjali smiles at her brother's enthusiasm & eagerness.

Later that evening 5:00 pm,Shantivan..
Arnav: Di,hurry up!
Anjali: Ya Chhotey! Let me do ur aarti & feed u dahi-shakkar.Then u may go!
Arnav: Di I'm only going to meet Khushi.Its not as if I'm going for a war that u hav to do my aarti before sending me off!
NK: Anyone can make that out after looking at u,Nannav!
Arnav: What?
NK: That u're going to meet ur wife!Look at urself!U're so bekhabar!(clueless)
Anjali: NKbhai,its not bekhabar its besabar!(impatient)
NK(holds his ear): Sorry! Besabar!
Nani: Anjali bitiya,Chhotey is looking just like a ..
Anjali(interrupts): Just like a would b groom today!
Arnav: Di,nani,NK,will u guys stop teasing me?
Mamaji: Areh Arnav bitwa y r u getting so angry?They're right!U just cant wait to meet her!
Arnav: right! U all are aware of that yet u want me to wait & fulfill these stupid customs!
Anjali: Chhotey!!
Arnav: Sorry di! Can u finish the aarti fast?
Anjali: Its done! Paayalji,will u plz bring dahi-shakkar from the kitchen?
Paayal: Ji.
Arnav(shocked): U didnt keep dahi shakkar ready?Come on di! I'll get late!
Anjali: Relax Chhotey!Dahi shakkar is ready,it just needs to b brought here!
Nani: U're not going in a public airlines,which might take off without u!U're going in ur private chopper.So dont worry! It wont take off without u!
Mamaji: Areh amma,understand naa! Arnav bitwa wants to meet Khushi bitiya asap!
NK: Right mausaji!
Mamaji: I'm reminded of a sher after looking at ur impatience!
NK: Shirdaad,shirdaad...
Mamaji: Shirdaad naahi bitwa,irshaad! If I have to say in Nanhe bitwa's language,I would say.Arz kiya hai:
Chaaron taraf chhaya hai bekhabri(besabri) ka aalam,
Chaaron taraf chhaya hai bekhabri ka aalam;
Yahaan hum bekhabar(besabar) hain aur wahaan humare baalam!
(Translatn: There is cluelessness (impatience) everywhere,
I am clueless here & my beloved is clueless there!)
Anjali: Baalam is indeed clueless!She has no idea that her Arnavji is coming to meet her!
Nani: Do inform her after reaching there, Chhotey. Who knows,Khushi bitiya might faint after seeing u!?
Anjali: Possible!
Arnav: Di,dahi-shakkar is here.Now feed it to me n allow me to leave,plz!
Anjali: Okay,okay!Giv it here, Paayalji..

That night,8:15 pm,Katra..
Khushi was watching a play in the Radhe-Krishna temple with the Guptas.
And,as usual,her mind kept drifting to Arnav's thoughts every now & then.
Amma: Jiji,should v leave now? Its getting colder. We shouldnt sit in the open..
Buaji: Just wait for another 15-20 minutes,Garima. Let Radha meet Krisna,then we'll leave.
Amma: Ok.Khusi,u're fine naa bitiya?I hope u're not having in difficulty in sitting like this?
Khushi: No amma.I'm fine!Stop worrying about me & enjoy the drama!
Amma: Ok.U also enjoy it.This is a good diversion.
Khushi nods & shifts her attention to the stage.
Radha was telling her friends about the naughty Krishna.
Radha: Dhai Shyam rok lai,rok lai,rok lai!
Dhai Shyam rok lai
Aur achak mukh choom lai!
Mukh choom lai,mukh choom lai!
(The mischievious Shyam stops me
And suddenly kisses my mouth!)
The moment she heard that,she was reminded of Arnav.
Khushi(thinks): Arnavji did something similar that day while I was in the kitchen..
*Flashback*
Arnav enters the kitchen to find Khushi frying puris.
Arnav: Is breakfast ready?
Khushi: Not yet.Just wait for 5 minutes.HPji,plz call everyone for breakfast.
HP: Ji!
After HP exits the kitchen,Arnav comes & stands right next to Khushi.
Arnav(points to a bowl): Khushi,this chutney..
Khushi(looks at him): Ya.. what about it?
Arnav pulls her by her waist & plants a sudden,deep kiss on her mouth.
When he leaves her,Khushi gives her trademark shocked expression.
Arnav dips a finger into the bowl & licks the chutney off his finger.
Arnav(makes a face): This chutney isnt that sweet.(smirks)U taste much more sweeter than the chutney!
Khushi:O,really? Then perhaps my spanking will also appear sweet to u! Wait,I'll giv u one!
She runs after him with the rolling pin and chases him out of the kitchen.
*Flashback ends*
Amma: What happened Khusi?Y r u laughing?
Khushi: Nothing amma. Its just that.. I was reminded of something..
Again she shifts her attention to the play.
Radha: Dadh ki bhari matki
Lai jaat rahi dagar beechh,
Aahat sun,aahat sun,
Aahat sun jiyara gayo
Dhadak,dhadak,dhadak!
(I was taking a bowl full of curd
When,suddenly,in the middle of the street,
I heard his footsteps
And my heart went
dhadak,dhadak,dhadak!)
At that moment,Khushi's phone vibrated.
Her heart also went dhadak-dhadak -dhadak after seeing her husband's name flash on the screen.
Khushi: Amma,its Arnavji.. I'll go outside & talk to him.
Amma: Wait,I'll come with u.
Khushi: No amma,I'll take the support of the wall..
She slowly walks outside the temple.
Khushi: Hello..
Arnav: What took u so long to answer the call?
Khushi: Since I'm in the temple,it took me some time to come outside.
Arnav: What r u doing in the temple right now?
Khushi: A drama is goin on here so.. we were watching that.U tell me..
Arnav: No u tell me!
Khushi: What?
Arnav: Can u guess where I'm calling u from?
Khushi: What's there to guess in this?I know u're calling from Delhi.
Arnav: I'm in.. Katra right now.
The phone falls from Khushi's hands.
Khushi: Hey Devi Maiyya! How did Arnavji come here?
She quickly switched on her phone after inserting the battery into it.
The moment she switched it on,she recieved Arnav's call.
Khushi: U're here? Y?How come?I mean..
Arnav: I've come here to meet u!
Khushi: But Arnavji..
Arnav(interrupts): No buts! Not only did u get a darshan of Vaishnodevi,u also fulfilled ur pledge! Niether did I visit the temple with u nor did I travel till Katra with u! That means,now I can meet u! Tell me where should I send Aman to pick u up?He'll bring u over here.
Khushi: Where?
Arnav: To the Helipad.I'm waiting for u in the chopper. Since I'm arranging a surprise for u I wont b able to come & pick u up. But u come alongwith Aman.And come alone,plz..
Khushi: Arnavji.. I.. how can I come over there?
Arnav: Y can u not come over here?
Khushi: a.. woh.. amma,babuji..
Arnav(interrupts): Dont worry.I'll call babuji n tell him everything.Tell me something,did u hav dinner?
Khushi: No..
Arnav: Great! We'll hav dinner together!
Khushi: Where?In ur chopper?
Arnav: Yup! Tell me fast,where should I send Aman?
Khushi: woh.. I'm..
Arnav: U're in the temple,right?I'll sen Aman over there! Wait,I'll pass on the phone to him.U give him the address.
Khushi(thinks): Hey Devi Maiyya! Now I'm stuck!
Aman: Ya ma'm,tell me..
Khushi: Amanji first u tell me,wen r u both going back?
Aman: Tonight!
Khushi: Really?
Aman: Will u tell me the address plz?
Khushi: Ji..
After ending the call,Khushi heaves a sigh of relief.
Khushi: Its only a matter of tonight! We'll meet for an hour or so,hav dinner & then he'll go back to Delhi! In a way he did the right thing by coming over here.I was missing him so much! I badly wanted to meet him! After meeting him tonight it'll b easier for me to go through the remaining 6 days.
She looks at her bandaged foot.
Khushi: What do I do about this?Should I remove this?Yes!
She removes the crepe bandage and stuffs it inside her handbag.
Khushi: I'm able to walk almost properly now.Its just that I need some support! Arnavji asks me anything,I'll say that I've got a baitaa in this leg. Anyways I did get one in the other leg this morning. If he sees this bandage,he will get worried. And then who knows?He might decide to stay here with me?
She shakes her head.
Khushi: No,no,no! He must not know that I got hurt!
She practices walking around,trying to look as normal as possible,ignoring the pain in her heel.
__________________________________________________________________________
Aman: Sir,ur phone.
Arnav: Did u note down the address properly?
Aman: Yes sir.
Arnav: Great! Go n bring her here,now!
Aman: Right sir.
Arnav: The moment she reaches here,u n David leave with the car for dinner. And come back only after I call u.
Aman: Yes sir.
Arnav: Did Khushi ask something about the surprise?
Aman: No sir.She was asking when I n David r going back?So I told her that we're leaving tonight.
Arnav: Ok. Leave.
After Aman leaves..
Arnav(thinks): Y was Khushi asking when they're leaving? She must b worried as to where 3 people will sleep?I'm sure Sarita's relatives wont b ready to accomodate 3 more guests! Its only a matter of tonight.Tomorrow I'll shift alongwith Khushi & everyone else to the hotel. Babuji will agree,I'll hav to coax Khushi to agree.
HE is suddenly reminded of something.
Arnav: I completely forgot to inform babuji!! Lemme call him..
He calls babuji to inform him of his plans.
