Part 6:
It wasnt easy for Khushi to be dropped by her Husband Arnav Singh Raizada at her Home.. She was hell uncomfortable to sit at the front seat beside him when he drived.. Payal was sitting behind with all the Gifts and she made sure she noticed each and every reaction of Khushi and Arnav towards each other.. Aanchal was sitting beside Payal with her Favourite Doll in her hand which her Chachu had gifted on her last birthday. Payal could easily guess what the problem was with the new couple.. They were not in talking terms for sure.. But then for building up a new relationship like this, communication was the must.. She thought of doing something now..
Payal: Arnav.. Can you please put some music.. Its getting so boring..
Arnav: Sure..!! (Saying this he took out a DVD and inserted it inside the Player..Some random romantic music started which he kept in a low volume )
Payal: Khushi.. So what kind of music you like to hear? Like Bollywood? Or Gazals? Or Rock?
Khushi: I dont like Music Payal.. I am not much into it..
Payal : Really? Cant believe.. That means you dont even know to play any musical instrument?
Khushi noded a No..
Payal: Okay.. But Arnav is very good at Playing Drums.. Hai naa Arnav? (She said looking at Him.. Arnav gave Payal a Stern Look from the front mirror gesturing her she need not had to tell this if the other person is not interested..)
Khsuhi didnt react and continued looking outside.. Aanchal was observing Khushi from a long time..
Aanchal: (IN her Sweet tone): Chachu..
Arnav: Hmmm.. (He replied but not looking behind.. )
Aanchal: Chachi is just like you.. She never smiles..
Khushi turned to see Aanchal behind and Payal and Arnav were surprised to understand how could a four year old kid notice all this..
Payal: Aanchal.. Chachi smiles only when required.. But she has loads of love in her heart.. You are still small to notice that.. Understood?
Arnav looked at Khushi who was still looking at Aanchal and now a weak smile was playing at the corner of her lips.. She exteneded her hand towards Aanchal and then replied to her..
Khushi: SO will Aanchal teach me how to smile then?
Aanchal blushed and noded a Yes.. She held Khushi's hand and then wished to come to her Lap.. Khsuhi tried picking her from the backseat towards her, on her lap but she wasnt able to do so as Aanchal was a Hefty baby.. She was heavy .. So Arnav used his one hand to help her pick Aanchal and then they both made her sit on Khushi's lap.. Doing this, Arnav's fingers surely brushed Khushi's hands many a times which she felt but didnt react..
Khushi surely didnt react but she could feel something by his touch.. THe same feelings that she felt when Rubble danced with her on the Party night.. Yes.. When Rubble was drawing circles with his fingers on her Lower back when they danced..Why did she felt the same sensation today? Was she thinking too much about Rubble which made her feel all this?? May be.. But how can she ignore .. When her husband Arnav had hugged her last night on their Suhaagraat she had felt as if she was hugged by Rubble .. In the same way as he hugged her in the Dance Party.. Thats the reason , last night she hugged him back only to come back to her senses and understand that the person she hugged was her husband and not her Rubble.. What was happening to her? Why was she feeling Rubble's touch in Arnav's?? She was so confused.. She just brushed her thoughts when Aanchal pulled her Mangalsutra..
Aanchal: Chachi who tied you this?? (She asked innocently..)
Khushi was unable to answer all such questions related to her marriage to Aanchal that too before Arnav ..
Khushi: Your Chachu . (She said hesiting a bit )
Aanchal: Aarav chachu or Arnav Chachu?
That one question was enough for all the other 3 to remember back the person who was missing from their lives.. How could they ever explain this to the Kid?? Payal knew khushi would only be more hurt to reply to this question so she tried to ask Aanchal to come back and sit with her so that this topic can be ignored..
Payal: Aanchal.. Come back to Mummy now..
Aanchal hugged Khushi and showed her Mummy that she wanetd to be with her Chachi and not her.. A small tear drop fell on Khushi's arms which hugged Aanchal and she replied back to Payal..
Khushi: I am fine Payal. Let her be with me..
Payal noded and then looked at Arnav whose anger was once again on his nose.. Only Payal knew how he was trying to control it within him..This anger was for no one.. It was just for the almighty for wanting him to stop creating such scenes where they are been made to remember Rubble.. Again and Again..
*****************
Arnav parked the Car at Gupta House.. He didnt get down though Payal asked him to come inside for sometime atleast.. He said he had some urgent meetings to cover and he drove from there without even looking at his wife once who herself was very busy in Picking Aanchal in her arms and carrying her inside her house..
*****************
It was Night when Arnav was at his Office cabin working seriously on his laptop when his Cordless Phone started ringing.. He picked the Call still concentrating on the Laptop.
Arnav: Hello.. (PAUSE).. Hello.. (PAUSE).. Hello...
Arnav cut the call as no one from the other end talked. He continued working and then checked the time.. It was already 08:00pm and he then remembered that he had to pick Khushi and Payal up from the Gupta House.. He immediately called Payal on her number to check if they were still in Gupta House..
Arnav: Payal.. Are you both still there? I am coming to pick you guys..
Payal: Arnav.. Did you see the time.. We waited for you till 06:00 pm and when we didnt get any call, Khushi's daddy himself came to drop us.. We are at home now.. Come soon..
Arnav : Ok.. I will be back soon..
Saying that he cut the call and continued working..
****************
Khushi was been sent back with some Gifts for the Raizada family from her parents and they all had assembled in the Living room collecting their gifts from Khushi.. Aanchal was beside her Chachi Khushi as she started liking being with her now all the time leaving her mummy..
Anjali: Very pretty Gifts Khushi.. Thank Garima aunty and your Dad for that..
Khushi smiled and then replied back.
Khushi: Actually Mumma had a small request..
Nani: Request?? What is it ??
Khushi: She wanted the entire family to come for a Dinner at Our house anytime when everyone are available..
Payal: Ohh..!! Let me complete it Khushi.. (SHe then looked at everyone).. Actually Aunty makes the best Non Veg food and hence she wanted her Son in LAw to taste it once.. So she has invited the whole family..
Nani (SMiled): WHy not Khushi bitiya.. We would surely come.. THis weekend.. I will inform her myself.. Fine?
Khushi smiled and thats when Anjali's Phone started ringing.. She excused herself and then answered the call..
Anjali: Hello Anjali Jha here... (PAUSE).. Hello.. (PAUSE).. Hello...
The Call got cut but she started feeling something unusual. SHe felt as if it was Rubble's call from the other end.. Her eyes started rolling Tears from it and everyone noticed that..
Nani: Anjali.. Whats wrong? Whose call was it?
Anjali: Nani.. Nani.. I felt as if He called me..
Shyam was more surprised hearing this.. He walked to her and then asked her properly..
Shyam: Who Rani Saheba? Who ???
Anjali was almost crying now and Khushi walked to her immediately and held her shoulder..
Khushi: Di.. Relax.. Just be calm and tell us what happened? Whose call was it??
Shyam could sense what Anjali was trying to tell. Her tears , her expressions clearly stated that she felt
Shyam: Rani Saheba.. Please try to understand.. How can this be possible..
Anjali: No Shyam.. You think I cant recognize him? I can even recognise his silence on the other end.. He was Rubble.. He was my Rubble..
Khsuhi looked at Anjali with a Blank Expression moving a Step back.. RUBBLE??
Shyam: Enough Rani Saheba.. Just Enough.. Why cant you get this fact that he is no more in this world.. We all know that.. Dont we??
Everyone were shocked seeing Anjali's reactions to a Blank call.. Nobody could believe this.. Khushi was totally blank and was weeping standing aside thinking if this could really be possible.. Would Rubble be really Alive??Payal took Aanchal and Ansh inside the other room as she didnt wanted them to see all this happening..
Shyam clutched Anjali's shoulders and then replied to her..
Shyam: Stop Crying Rani Saheba.. Please.. For God's sake dont dig the Old Graves.. You would get nothing..
Saying that he just walked to his room leaving Khushi and Anjali there.. The entire Family was just shocked seeing all this, hearing all this.. Arnav had enetered the House on the correct time.. When Anjali said she felt it was Rubble's call, he had just entered and he saw this whole Drama with his eyes.. His eyes were on his wife who was just crying even by hearing his Name.. And his Di the other side was about to Faint.. He rushed to her to hold his Di from falling down.. Khushi Saw Arnav coming towards them and she looked at Anjali..She held Anjali and supported her..
Arnav rushed on the Stairs and then finally came to his sister and held her in his arms.. Anjali hugged him tight. She was still crying..
Anjali: Chotte.. I am not lieing.. I know it was him.. It was our Rubble Chotte..
Arnav (Caressing her back): I understand Di.. Now Stop crying.. Please.. Let me handle this.. Ok? (He pulled back from the Hug and then looked in Anjali's eyes).. If it was Rubble.. Then I would find him and get him back?? Stop crying.. You trust me right??
Anjali noded a Yes still crying and hugged him back. Khsuhi was only seeing her husband..
What did he just say?? IF Rubble was Alive then he would get him back? AND THEN WHAT?? BREAK THIS MARRIAGE AND SEND HER BACK TO HER LOVE?? WOULD HE BE ABLE TO DO THAT??
