Chapter 4 :
All come down for having tea. NK & khushi sit next to each other and are happily chatting with each other. Arnav sees this, at first gets angry but then he keeps quiet. Shyam sees this and tries to start casual conversation.
Shyam : Are Khushiji Tell me what are you and NK bhai planning?
Khushi stiffens and NK notices this and then he sees payal & khushi getting disgusted hearing his voice. He thinks what happened. Arnav clench his jaw, khushi sees this but then before arnav could answer khushi answers.
Khushi : Shyamji it is none of your business to poke your nose in my matter. I am here just for 6 months as per the contract which Mr. Arnav Singh Raizaada has prepared. I dont like to be questioned. I will never interfere in your family matters and i expect the same. Dont worry about the money which you will be spending on me for providing food. I am going to earn and will pay some money as rent for staying in such a luxury house and also for the food. And shyamji its better you dont interfere in my business at all.
Shyam(in anger) : How dare you speak with me like this khushi. Dont forget it was me who gave you the address to join AR after you left lucknow.
Now all were shocked, arnav was frozen in his chair after hearing this. He now knew that all this was shyam's plan to get khushi and khushi dint know anything.
Khushi : Mind your words shyamji. U saved me from goons in lucknow and i am only thankful for that. But after that whatever happened in my life is all because of you. I should have never agreed to go join AR, after knowing who its owner is i should have left the place but my hands were tied.
Anjali :Shyamji u met khushiji in lucknow. What happen in lucknow?
Khushi : Now will you all excuse me. Nanheji aren't we getting late. Let me change and then we will leave nanheji.
Khushi goes to her room, gets freshen up and changes into a cream color anarkali dress. She comes down and just sess everybody. She sees aranv and then calls NK and moves out with him.
