CHAPTER 2

While Arnav answered the call Khushi picked the flower bouquet and turned to look for Payal. She had barely taken a few steps when a husky voice stopped her.

"Stop right there..,"Arnav shouted with anger.

Khushi stopped on her track and turned to face him, " What?" She asked.

Arnav covered the distance between them in 3 long strides.

"Can't you see and walk? " he said with an angry tone.

"If I could see then I wouldn't have bumped into you." She answered back in a low tone.

"What the... What do you mean?" He asked.

"I couldn't see as my view was blocked by this..."she said moving her eyes towards the flower bouquet she held.

Arnav followed the gaze of her eyes in the direction they moved.

Anjali entered to see a fuming Arnav but couldn't see the face of the lady who stood opposite Arnav.

"Lekin app to dekh sakte hain phir kyun humse takraye? " she asked raising her eyebrows.

("You could see then why did you bump into me?")

"What the..."

"Not What the...why?"

Before Arnav could shower more anger on her,his phone rang.

"Ya Akash..."he answered the call.

In the meantime Khushi saw Payal getting out from one of the rooms behind and moving downstairs. Ignoring Arnav she walked past him and downstairs following her sister.

Arnav abruptly ends the call to follow her but stops on hearing his sister's voice.

"What happened chote and who was that girl?"asked a concerned Anjali.

"I don't know...Di I have to go I'll talk to you later and take care of yourself."he says moving towards the stairs looking for her.

He found her standing at the center of the hall. He quickly moved downstairs to get hold of her. Hard luck, by the time he reached the place where she was standing,she was gone.

He got more angry on not finding her.

Khushi had seen Payal and had moved towards her. After handing over the flower bouquet she moved out of the place as she was getting late for her annual day function.

Payal informed Arnav that the bouquet he had asked her to get was kept in his room.

As the event started Arnav got busy and completely forgot about Khushi.

Later that night

As Anjali retired to bed her thoughts drifted back to the event that happened earlier that evening.

"Someone...no...no...actually a girl had dared to answer her chote back. Its either the girl is mad or unaware of the identity of the person she was talking to. Whatever the case she was really daring and had the guts to answer back her chote or say the great ASR. As she tried to put an end to her thoughts but the only thing she regretted was that she couldn't see the face of that girl.

Arnav found the flower bouquet that he had ordered to give to his jijaji for his birthday. There was something familiar about this bouquet, he had seen it before.

"Oh yes, its the same one that girl had it in the evening. So she was just a delivery girl who had come to deliver the bouquet. Then why was she wearing a sari?" as his thoughts drifted back to the moment he saw her.

"Dressed in a red sari that gave a complete contrast to her crimson skin. The innocent face with twinkling eyes which showed mischievousness. She looked breathtaking."

"What the..what am i thinking. How can a girl distract my thoughts. This can't happen...I am ASR and I won't let this happen. " he vowed to himself as he retired to bed.

Khushi's state was similar as well. She kept on tossing and turning in bed as sleep was far away. Whenever she closed her eyes his image flashed.

"The handsome man that stood in front of her in a perfect brown suit that resembled his eyes. His eyes reflected nothing,they were blank but had turned red in anger the next moment ..

Reasons best known to him."

She woke up with a jerk and sat up, "Hey Devi maiya..what am I thinking? Why am I even thinking about him. What's happening to me? Please help me Devi maiya."she muttered to herself as she went back to sleep.

CHAPTER 3

Following morning

"Good Morning Chote." Spoke an excited Anjali.

"Good Morning Di. Where is jijaji? I want to wish him. "Asked Arnav looking around the dining area.

"He had some work so he left yesterday night after the show. "She answers getting up from her place at the table.

"Di, are you going somewhere?" Arnav asked.

"Ha Chote, to the temple. Will you come with me?" she asked as she picked her

Pooja thal from the table.

"Di you know I don't like to go there." He said sipping his warm coffee.

"Yes Chote, I know but you can at least take me there." she asked with a puppy face.

"Ohk Di. Get ready and come out" he said moving out of the house.

Fifteen minutes later Arnav drove into the narrow road that led to the temple.

"Chote drop me here. I want to tie this thread first and then I'll go inside the Temple.

You can wait in the parking area since your car won't go beyond this point as the roads are narrow." She said getting out of the car.

Arnav takes a U-turn and was about to speed off when a figure appear on the road and applies breaks at the right time.

He moves out of the car to find a girl squatted, picking something from the road. Her face was not clear as it was covered by the long black hair that acted like a curtain.

"Tum theak ho?" he asked.

Khushi stiffens on hearing the voice. She slowly stood up and tossed her head in the direction the voice had come from. Her face came Into view as her hair went flying backward with the sudden toss.

"Tum!" They both spoke at the same time with shocked expression.

"Gadi chalani nai ati to chalate kyu ho?" Khushi shouted.

"I know how to drive but you have a problem of walking while daydreaming." Arnav shouted back.

"What do you mean?"

"What you just heard."

"Why don't you accept it was your fault? You came with this huge car of yours in this narrow road."

"It's not my fault and I can't do anything if people just walk blindly."

"Listen Mr. mind your words." As she raised her index finger to him.

"How dare you talk like that and put your finger down." He said with anger rising in his tone.

"Kyu? Aap kahi ke minister ho ke hum apse aise baat nai karsakte. Laad Governor"

"What the..." stepping forward.

Khushi takes a step back putting her finger down and looking here and there to escape.

Luck seemed to favor her a lot as Arnav's phone rang. Her face brightened with a broad smile which doesn't go unnoticed by Arnav as he reaches his pocket to get his phone to answer it as he turns around.

Khushi doesn't miss the chance and runs away. She stops on reaching a safe distance away from him and shouts, "LAAD GOVERNER."

Arnav ends his call and turns around to hear a new name that he was given.

Khushi grins widely as she shouts back to him, "Aap ka phone sahi waqt pe bajta hai." (Your phone rings at the right time.)As she takes on her heels again towards the temple.

Arnav gets back to his car to get to the parking area fuming in rage.

Khushi moves out of the temple lost in the incident that happened half an hour ago.

"How can someone be so rude...Laad Governor kahi ka..."

She is brought out of her deep thoughts by a loud thud. Looking in the direction of the noice she sees a lady who could faint and fall at any time. Rushing in her direction Khushi holds her before she could roll down the stairs. She carefully helps her to sit on the side.

"Are you fine?" asked a concerned Khushi.

"Yes, am fine. Just felt a little dizzy because of the hot weather." The lady answered back with a small smile. "And thank you."

"There is no need for that. Waise aap yaha naye lagte ho. Pehle kabhi nai dekha apko yaha." (You seem to be new here. I haven't seen you around here before.) Khushi asked.

"I'm from Delhi. Lukhnov is my birth town but have shifted to Delhi since long and you?" Anjali spoke getting up to move downstairs.

"Am from here only." Khushi replied as she got up as well to move downstairs.

"What is your name?" Anjali asked as they moved down the stairs.

"I'm Khushi." She answered placing a box of jalebis on Anjali's pooja thal. " Aur aap ka naam?"

"I'm Anjali." As she opened the box she was given. "Jalebi!" as she looked at the contents inside the box. "I just love them."

"Its Devi Maiya's prashad and I also love them a lot." She replied.

"Have you come alone? Should I drop you home?" Khushi inquired as they stood at the base of the temple.

"Thank you but my brother is waiting for me near the parking area." She replied as they both walked away.

"Why parking? Cant he come to the mandir." Khushi asked curiously.

"He doesn't believe in God." She answered with a small smile.

"Kya." Khushi shouts back with a shock and looking towards Anjali and quickly turns her face away to hide her sudden outburst. She turns her face away to find Arnav walking towards their direction. She stops in her tracks and turns towards Anjali. "Anjaliji I should leave now... Phir milenge." As she turns and leave with a puzzled Anjali who stared at her retreating back.

Arnav sees in his sisters direction to find a girl talking to her and in a jiffy take off at full speed.

"Di, who was that girl?" he asked standing next to his sister.

"She was Khushiji." She replied with a smile.

"You know her?" he asked curiously.

"No, I just met her. She helped me from falling down. She is such a sweet girl but why are you asking about her?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"Di are you ok. And what is this?" he asked looking at something on the pooja thal.

Anjali followed his line of sight to see what he was looking at.

"Yeh jalebis hai."(These are jalebis) she replied with a toothy smile.

"I know that Di but where did you get them from because you didn't come with any." He asked inquiringly.

" Its prashad. Khushiji gave me. Why?"

"Nothing Di. Shall we go?"

They moved towards the parking area and settled in themselves to drive back home.

"Di our flight back to Delhi is for today evening. Be ready on time and reach at the airport with Akash as I have a meeting and I will meet you there directly." As he halted the car outside the Sheesh Mehel.
