Superb update
Loved Arnav n khushis wee chase moment nice to see her fun old self returning
But oh ho he was only dreaming ... gutted
Looking forward to finding out what's on that DVD
They say u tell truth when u r drunk so maybe Arnav reveals his feelings for khushi or khushi say something . One other possibility is they share a moment together or the guy Farhan does something he shouldn't???
Anyways can't wait for next update
Thanks for pm n pls keep em comin my way

Chapter 7

She was watching the video with real concentration and was remembering those old happy days of her life. How she used to have fun, how happy and prosperous her life was. How girls envied her because of her looks and intelligence . How she had so many friends and used to enjoy with them . How everything used to be PERFECT , every relation , everybody. How happy she was , when she was just Khushi Kumari Gupta. She was relishing those old memories. It was as if she was watching a movie in flashback.

About 20 mins of the video was over when she saw Farhan and two of his friends , yes Vikram and Jimmy going to the drinks area and having drinks. Farhan was telling something to both of them and soon they left and came back with Arnav . They offered him drink , but he refused. After forcing a lot , finally he took the glass and drank it and then.. the video stopped playing.

Khushi picked up the remote and tried to start it , but the video after that part was deleted. She got a bit confused and switching the Tv off , went to Anjali's room.

She knocked at the door and peeping inside said

"Di can I come in ???"

"Khushi tub hi na... aa ja..."

And she came inside and saw Anu sitting on the bed and playing with her toys and as soon as Khushi saw her, she smiled.

She saw Anu looking or rather staring at her for a while and slowly smiling. First she thought something might be wrong with her, but then noticed that she was looking past her. So Khushi slowly turned and

"Booo !!!!!!"

"Aaa..." there Khushi shouted and was about to fall back , when he hold her hand , saving her from falling. She looked at his eyes and started panicking and shouting further

"Aaa... Ar.. ar.. arnav..."

Anjali who was busy arranging Anu's clothes hearing Khushi shout looked at the direction and saw Arnav holding Khushi's hand and smiling while Khushi with her tightly shut was still shouting.

Khushi was busy shouting when she heard Anjali and Anu laughing , and so slowly opened her eyes and saw Arnav holding her hand and suppressing his laughter. She felt embarrassed and backed few steps , leaving his hand and Arnav too burst out laughing , and while laughing he said

"Gosh !!! Khushi maine socha nahi tha ki yeh trick 6 saal baad bhi waise hi kaam karega" [Gosh !! Khushi I have never thought that this trick will work so well even after 6 years.]

Khushi feeling embarrassed , looking here and there said

"Kya Arnav tumne mujhe dara hi diya... meri jaan hi nikal gayi thi..." [What Arnav , you scared me so much..]

Arnav smiling said

"Maine socha tha ki sayad tu thodi brave bann gayi hai.. but you proved me wrong..." saying this at instant touched her nose with his fingertip and went towards the bed.

Khushi as if stopped for a moment , with his sudden relaxed touch. And she heard Anjali saying

"Chote tumhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha.. bechari Khushi kitna darr gayi thi..." [Chote you should have not done this... poor Khushi she was so scared.]

Arnav smiling said

"Di yeh toh aapko bhi manna padega ki aapne bhi enjoy kiya." [Di you have to agree that you too enjoyed it. ]

Saying this flopped down on the bed , beside Anu and said

"Kyu An maza aaya ??"

Anu smiled and clapping her hands said

"Kuchi dal gayi..."

And Arnav giggling said

"Haan.. tumhari Kuchi dal gayi..."

"Di !!!!" Khushi said in a complaining tone and Anjali making a straight face said

"Anu Kuchi nahi... masi bolo.."

Finally Arnav getting up from the bed said

"Ok Di good night ... mai Anu ko le chalta hoo... Lets go Anu time for bed... tell good night..."

"Gul nite maa..."

And then while leaving the room in her mamu's arms she said

"Gul nite machi..."

Khushi smiled and said

"Good night Anu... mamu ko bahut taang karna.."

And saying this she bend and kissed her cheek and looked at Arnav , and he smiled and left the room.

She turned towards Anjali and was about to ask her about the DVD , when Shyam came and she saying Good night to them left for her room.

Almost a month passed like this. Living with the Raizada's have brought back the old happy Khushi. Yes, the sadness from her have vanished, but there were times , when she became sad , felt lonely and missed Farhan. Yes , seeing Anjali and Shyam , sometimes it hurt, but there were always Anu and Arnav to cheer her up. Anu's sweet talk always made her smile and a good news , Tom and Jerry , now have become friends , though stil there were times when they fought like kids , but probably that was something they cant skip. After all this , at night when she went back to her room , and locked herself in that so called room of hers , she felt lonely. Yes , there was everybody , but there was no-one whom she could call her own.

She was about to go to the bed, when she heard a knock on the door . She opened the door , to see a dressed Arnav . She was confused , and as Arnav was looking here and there . like a thief , he hadn't noticed that Khushi had already opened the door and by mistake knocked on her face , and as soon as he realized that he started apologizing and Khushi said

"Arav what are you doing here.. and that also dressed like this???"

"Kyu??? Whats the problem with my dress " he asked checking himself once.

"Mera matlab itni raat ko jeans , T-shirt pehen kar..."

"Oh !! ya actually I need a small favour.."

"Kya ???" she asked looking confused

"I am going out.. so please.. kya tum mere saath neeche jakar main door bandh kar dogi. Coz I don't want anyone to know about it.."

"Ya but why ??"

"Khushi... I am going to the club... And if Di gets to know.. she will kill me..."

"But???"

"See.. Di ko pasand nahi hai... so..."

"Then don't go na.."

"Yaar its 30^th.. and aaj party nahi karunga toh kab karunga... tomorrow its family party so... please.."

Khushi looked at him pleading and smiling said

"Ok !!!! But you too haven't changed a bit.. remember how you used to go to late night parties when we used to be in hostel"

He smiled and said

"And that's the reason I came to you.. after all you are the person.. whom I can trust in this matter."

Khushi nodded and they started walking down when Khushi said

"But Arnav.. di will get to know in the morning na.."

"No she will not.. I will be back by midnight... I will just party a bit , grab a few drinks and will be back."

"What ???" she almost shouted

"Ssshhh..." he covered her mouth with his palms and asked

"Kya hua ???"

She lowered her voice and said

"You gonna drink and drive??? Are you mad ??? Don't you know its illegal."

"Khushi calm down... I wont drink.. ok.. chill !!!"

And they didn't realize that while talking they have reached the main door . He slowly opened the door , and slipped out of the door and as she was about to close it, he all of a sudden peeped his head inside and said

"Khushi why don't you come with me ..."

"Mai ??"

"YA tum ..."

"Pagal ho kya ???"

"Bachpan se..."

"Arnav !!!!"

"No seriously... It will be fun.. and I promise you will enjoy a lot..."

"Par ..."

"Aare paraku.. don't think so much.. come.." saying this , he took her hand and pulled her out of the door , locked it from outside and started walking.

"Ok fine.. but are we going to walk ??"

"No who said that ???"

"Then why are we not walking towards the garage and instead towards the main gate."

And he stopped and turning towards her said

"Listen.. we are going to Payal's house.. for your makeover.. coz obviously you cant go to the club dressed like this.."

That's when Khushi realised that she was wearing her light pink Patiala and was not even having her dupatta, and she started panicking

"Arnav tumhari wajah se mai aise hi bahar aa gayi.. maine toh dupatta bhi nahi liya.. hey devi mayiya.. aab mai kya karu."[Arnav because of you ... I came out like this .. even without my dupatta.. what will I do now.]

"Khushi !!!!!" and he was smiling... With amusement..

"Kya ???"

"You said Hey Devi Mayiya... you use it till now..."

She repeated her sentence and realised yes he was right, she called her Devi Mayiya... for last few years , she has stopped using that , but now with the old Khushi her habits were coming back , and she slowly smiled and said

"Haan.. mai toh..." and then looking at him said

"I don't want to go.. I am going back.. you go wherever you wanna go.."

She turned to leave , but felt his hand on her wrist, and then walking towards he said

"Khushi.. I really don't understand one thing.. whats with this dupatta thing. What will happen if you don't take a dupatta ???"

"Aare aise kaise..."

"Khushi when you wear jeans top , or jeans kurti.. do you take a dupatta... no.. then.. when there is no problem in that.. then whats the problem now.."

"Arnav tum nahi samajh rahe ho.."

"Mai samajh raha hoon and probably you don't know.. ki I have a fashion house.. so now stop being so fussy and come with me.."

Khushi knew she couldn't win this argument so , she simply nodded and started walking with him , towards Payal's house.

"Arnav hum itni raat ko payal ke ghar jayenge... she will be disturbed."

"No she will not.. ok come.."

Soon they were standing under Payal's window and Arnav brought out his phone and dialed her number.

"Payal ??? Ya need your help .."

"Yup.. You have to do a makeover of Khushi..."

"shut up.. and come to the window.."

And there she appeared in the window with the phone attached to her ear. She excitedly waved a Hi' to Khushi and Khushi too slowly waved her hand while Arnav spoke

"Ok Listen we are going to the club so make her ready and fast ok?? ? And Nothing gonna happen with your please.. I am not taking you with us... Ya ya jo samajhna hai samajh.."

"Now come down and take Khushi with you..."

Saying this he disconnected the phone and said

"Khushi you go and get ready... I will come in a while with the car."

And Khushi , she nodded and left.

Precap-

She opened the door and saw Arnav standing infront of her wearing a black tuxedo and looking

"Beautiful..."

She fluttered her eyes and asked

"Kya ??"

He looked at her again from top to bottom and said

"You are looking absolutely gorgeo... I mean you ready.. everybody is waiting downstairs."

I KNOW ITS A BAKWAS PART... :(
