Chapter 2
It was a Sunday in the Gupta household. Khushi loved to relax and read her favourite novels. She loved reading the Bronte sister novels. As she lay in her bed reading her Maid Samita Devi came in.
"Khushi beta ,come down, some visitors have to come and see you".
"Ma I can't be bothered".
"Beta your dad has asked you to come down...he is waiting impatiently".
Khushi reluctantly bookmarked her book and got up with a frown. She put her black trousers and a long tunic. As she came down she recognised the Khan family. Mr Gupta was a bit nervous as his niece was a little unpredictable and he was going to be embarrassed if she did not come down.
"Mr Khan have some tea...uh Khushi will be here soon...she is a little...ummmhh busy". He looked towards the stairs and broke into a smile of relief.
"Look she is here!"
All the Khan family; which consisted of a Mr and Mrs Khan, their 25 year old son Deepak and 19 year old daughter, looked towards Khushi. Khushi walked like regale empress. Her stride measured and her demeanour composed.
"Khushi beta, come and sit down. The Khan family have come to see you" said Samita hesitantly.
"To see me?" she asked suspiciously and sat down near her dad.
Mr Gupta put his hand on Khushi's hand.
"Beta they have come to ask your hand for their only son Deepak".
Khushi looked bewildered at the Khan family.
"Khushi beta my son has fallen in love with you since he saw you at your show last month show..and.." said Mrs Khan.
"Wait a minute.." Khushi abruptly got up and put her hand to stop them.
"Your son...ummmhhh has.." she giggled. "Has fallen in love with me?"
She went into a fit of laughter. Mr Gupta tried to mellow the situation down.
"Mr Khan my daughter has weird sense of humor".
"Dad this has got to be the funniest joke I have ever heard..."
She laughed for a little longer and then went into her serious mode.
"Dad tell your friends I am not impressed at all with their love story...if they want I have someone in mind for Deepak...my PA Payal...she is poor and I promise I will pay for all the dowry and wedding..."
"Mr Gupta we did not come here to be insulted by your niece!" fumed Mr Khan and got up.
Mr Gupta looked at his niece and pleaded. "Beti what are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything...I just am telling them I am not happy with this alliance because I know this trick they are playing is to get their company on the number one position...if they want to get their company in the number one position they should compete with me not take these short cuts to break me down...because I will never let that happen, understand?"
She clicked her fingers and pointed at the Khan's. "You better understand!"
"Samita Devi is these the manners you taught her?" said Mrs Khan angrily.
"I'm sorry Mrs Khan...Khushi.."
"Ma don't apologise to them...goodbye Mr & Mrs Khan & co".
The Khan family left and Mr Gupta followed them.
Samita went up to Khushi and began scolding her but gently.
"Beti what have you done? Who will marry you if you turn down every proposal that comes to you...you are a girl and you need to learn to bow yourself slightly".
Mr Gupta returned and listened to them.
"Ma I hate anyone conning us into entering relationships to ruin our company.."
"But beta one day you need to marry...and when you get married you cannot be the way you are..no man will put up with it".
"Ma I'm telling you if I ever marry I will still be in charge of the relationship and he will be obedient to me".
"Really beta? Where will you get such a guy?...beti you need to behave more like a girl.."
"Don't worry Samita she will get married...and to some one really good...I have a great feeling.."
Khushi went up letting her guardians quarrel over her future. She left feeling elated that she had made another suitor run away. Mr Gupta remembered and told her.
"Khushi tomorrow someone will come and see you in your office...make sure you meet him because I have sent him there to help you".
She walked up the stairs rolling her eyes.
"Fine dad!" she said. Someone else looking for a job she thought. Her dad liked helping people she thought.

The Raizada family were sitting and discussing something important. Arnav came with his laptop and sat down near Akash.
"Bhai look Nani and Mami are looking at some photos of girls.."
"So?" he asked not really bothered and then said. "For you?"
"No bhai for you...you're older than me so you have to get married first!"
Gritting his teeth he looked at his Di and she begged him to stay silent but he got up.
"What is going on here?" he gritted his teeth and fist.
"Beta we are looking for a nice girl for you" said Nani adamantly.
"Arnav bitua look this girl is so pretty just like me!" said Mami.
"How many times I have to tell you lot I don't want to get married...do you want me to leave this house because I will..."
Nani looked on irritated.
"Arnav we all have had enough of your refusals...I mean your marriageable age...if you are not going to look for a girl of course we will...we are your elders".
Arnav took a deep breath.
"Nani which century are you living in?" he mocked.
"Arnav stop being rude! We gave you a choice to marry Lavanya and you just want to date her and that's it...I mean what is stopping you?"
"NOTHING WHY DON'T YOU ALL LEAVE ME ALONE!?"
He walked off and Nani raised her voice.
"Arnav don't you dare walk away...look at me...I hope you're not still hoping Chamkili turns up?"
Arnav looked away. "Nani"
"Answer me? It is her isn't it? We all know you were attached to here when you were 6 year old but she is gone...and you don't even know if she still feels the same way about you? People change beta...it's been a long time...look your young and handsome you can get one girl better than the other...and Chamkili what if you see her and you don't like her?"
"Nani please I don't want to talk any further..."
Without answering he stomped off and switched his Bluetooth on. Anjali came near Nani.
"Nani that is what I was afraid of...you should just give him time..."
Anjali walked off and Akash followed her. Nani and Mami walked into their room.
"Hello Hi bye bye! See Nani ji Arnav bitua has not forgotten that farmer's daughter Chamkili".
Nani paced her room frantically.
"I know after all our hard work of getting rid of that family that manhoos (bad omen) girl haunts us".
"Yeh your right...Arnav was so attached to that girl that we had to send him to America to break the link..."
"Yes and we thanked Devi Maiyaa when their all died in the fire...I thought now she has been orphaned her uncle will take her and we will get our Arnav back from her...we moved from sangat and came in this town...but still God knows what black magic that girl done that he cannot forget her..."
"Exactly Nani..."
"Anyways let's hope she never turns up...we don't want any alliance with that girl".
Nani looked on worried. She wanted her grandson to marry someone in their social circle. She did not care to ever find out about Chamkili or her uncle.
***
Arnav stood near his pool looking at the stars. Thinking of his childhood "dilbar" (sweetheart). Arnav's haveli in Sangat had a big playing area with wooden slides and swings and various roundabouts. Chamkili and him use to play there often. He had a playhouse on top of a big tree. They both use to bring food there and play. He smiled and remembered how he use to pull her nose and she use to cry.
He felt a hand on his shoulder. "Chote I know you miss her"
Holding his tears he asked Anjali with a smile. "Di you think she remembers me?"
"I don't know...but childhood love stories are usually strong".
"Di I want to know where she went...I mean Nani doesn't tell me anything...she never use to like when we use to play and go over each other's house".
"Chote your just upset with her because she is just being realistic that's all...she means well but doesn't express it correctly". He sighed and remembered that he needed to go.
"Anyways Di I better go I need to take Lavanya to a nightclub".
Arnav got ready and left the Raizada mansion.
***
Mr Gupta was going through his files that he suddenly realised he had not seen Khushi for a while.
"Samita Devi" he called out.
"Yes sir?"
"Uh where is Khushi?"
"Sir ever since Mr Khan's family came she looked a little disturbed...I don't know what always bothers her but when she is usually upset she goes out and ends up coming home drunk".
He looked rather upset. He could never get Khushi to open up and nither could Samita.
"You know Samita Devi I just wish she would tell me what is really eating her up...I mean I ask her is it her parents but she says its nothing..I just hope she finds peace someday".
***
Lavanya danced away in the nightclub while Arnav sat at the bar looking at his glass. He looked back at Lavanya who was not bothered about him. He smiled she wasn't meant for him. She never was. He asked for another glass. This was his 11th one. Lavanya looked at him from the floor he looked heavily drunk. She went over and grabbed his glass.
"WHAT THE F***!" he took the glass back and gulped it down
"Arnav that's enough...why do you always do this? I mean you're not an alcoholic".
[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRbaTjl9Yb8[/YOUTUBE]
Arnav: Muje peene ka shok nahin peeta hoon gham bhulane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko peeta hoon gham bhulane ko (I don't have a hobby to drink, I only drink to suppress my sorrow, to erase your memories)
Lavanya looked puzzled because he was pointing at someone but there was no one there. Arnav was imagining a 5 year old Chamkili standing in front of him.
Khushi sat in another bar and looked at a photo of little boy and sang.
Khushi: Muje peene ka shok nahin peeti hoon gham bhulane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko peeti hoon gham bhulane ko
Khushi: khoi wo kitabe dil jis dil ka hain ye kisa, aik hisa hain paas mere tere paas hain ek hisa, main poora karoo kaise iss dil ke fasane ko?(That heart book is lost of which this story belongs to, I have one part and you have one part, so how can I complete this love story?)
Lavanya put the glass down and escorted him out of the nightclub.
Arnav: Muje peene ka shok nahin peeta hoon gham bhulane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko peeta hoon gham bhulane ko
Lavanya got him in the car and began driving him back home.
Arnav: Mil jaate agar ab hum aag lag jati paani main(If we came together the water would have caught fire)
Bachpan ki wohi dosti ho jati jawani main(this childhood friendship we had would have evolved in youth)
Arnav: chahat main badal dete(We would have exchanged it in love)
Khushi: Chahat main badal dete hum iss dostane ko(We would have changed it in love this friendship that we had)
Arnav: Muje peene ka shok nahin peeta hoon gham bhulane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko, teri yaadein mitane ko peeta hoon gham bhulane ko
Arnav reached home and was taken upstairs by Akash.
"Lavanya ji what happened?" asked Anjali looking extremely worried.
"Di I don't know but every time I take him out he begins drinking heavily...I'm really sorry".
"It's not your fault..anyway I better go and see him".
Lavanya looked on upset that her boyfriend always ended up ruining their date. She sadly left the Riazada mansion disappointed at what had happened again. Meanwhile Anjali with the help of Akash got her chote into his bed comfortably. He was murmuring something in his sleep.
"Chamkili come back..I miss you...no one understands...no one..."
He trailed off and Anjali looked on upset at her brother's plight. She put a duvet on him and went to her room.
Precap; Arnav goes into Gupta Office
