Part 125

Khushi closed and bolted the door to the verandah before walking upto Arnav who cocked an eyebrow in anticipation.
Arnav(smirks): Is it what I think it is?
Khushi(shrugs): Humein nahi pataa ki aap bhi woh hi soch rahe hain jo hum soch rahe hain ya kuch aur! Par hum ummeed karte hain ki hum jo bhi karnewale hain woh aapko pasand aayega.
Arnav(suggestive smile): I love it when you take the lead,baby!
Khushi(wags a finger): No baby!
Arnav: I mean.. jaan!
Khushi(makes him sit on the edge of the bed): Toh chaliye darling,ab aap dil thaam k baith jaiyye aur..
She walked over to the bedside table and switched off the bedside lamps,making the bedroom semi-dark.
She cleared her throat and Arnav's heart could only leap with excitement.
Khushi(sings): Phaili thi siyaah raatein
(switches on the bedside lamps)
Aaya tu subha leke,
Bewajah si zindagi me
Jeene ki wajah leke.

She repeated the first stanza thereby giving Arnav time to get a hang of things.
Khushi(walks upto Arnav): Khoya tha samandaron me
Tanha safeena mera,
Saahilon pe laaya hai tu
Jaane kis tarah leke.

She solved his doubt even before he could open his mouth.
Khushi: Safeena matlab naav(boat). Aur.. pehle hi bataa dein, raabta matlab waasta ya naata.
Arnav nodded in response.

Khushi(sings): Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta,
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta.
Kaise hum jaane,
(holds his shoulders)
Humein kya pataa?
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta.
(sits on his lap)
Ab kya hai kehna?
Humko hai rehna
(winds her arms around his neck)
Jannatein bhula k,
Teri baahon me panaah leke!

Arnav wrapped his arms around her delicate form and pulled her closer.
Khushi lifted her head off his shoulder and kissed him.
Their sighs mingled with their breaths.
When she broke the kiss, Khushi shared her realization with him.
Khushi: Waise toh.. saare din hum aapk saath hi the, aapk.. pass hi baithe the.. Sab kuch achchha tha bas.. ekaant(privacy) ki kami thio!
Arnav(pushing her hair behind her ear): Aur agar pehle hi.. ekaant mil jaata toh kya karti tum?
Khushi(cups his face): Woh hi karte jo humne kuch der pehle kiya aur ab hum.. dobara karne wale hain!
Arnav leaned his head back and allowed her to take charge of his mouth.
Khushi explored his mouth fully before breaking apart.
Then she unwound her arms from his neck and was about to get up but Arnav held her firmly in place.
Arnav: Stay..
Khushi: Yaheen rahenge toh aapka manoranjan(entertainment) kaise karenge?
Arnav: Mujhe koi manoranjan nahi chahiye jaan!
Khushi(shocked): Aapko humara dance nahi dekhna hai?
Arnav shook his head as he pulled her closer to himself.
Khushi placed her head on his chest and caressed it while listening to his heartbeat.
Arnav closed his eyes and savoured the moment.
His eyes flew open when her lips moved against his chest.
Khushi(sings): Tum par mere pyaar ka jadoo,
Pehle toh nahi tha!
(kisses the left side of his chest)
Dil jaisa hai beqaabo,
Pehle toh nahi tha!
(lifts her head to give him a mischievious smile)
Pehle toh nahi hoti thi
Yoon pyaar ki baatein!
She places her hands on her cheeks and gives an expression of shock.
Hairan hoon main sun k
(points to him)
Sarkaar ki baatein!
Iqraar ki baatein ho ya
Inqaar ki baatein,
Baat chhedi toh hai kam se kam,
(folds her hands)
Shukriya,meherbaani,karam!
(pulls his cheeks)
Mere mehboob, mere sanam,
Shukriya, meherbaani,karam!

She placed her finger on Arnav's lips when she felt he was about to say something.
Khushi(continues with the song): Kab maine yeh socha tha,
Kab maine yeh jaana tha,
Tum itne badal jaaoge,
Tum itna mujhe chaahoge!
(hugging him)
Tum itna pyaar karoge,
Tum yoon iqraar karoge!
(kisses his cheek)
Mere mehboob, mere sanam,
(pecks his lips)
Shukriya, meherbaani,karam!

Arnav(smiles): I like that! Ab se jab tumhe shukriya kehna hoga, tab iss hi tarah se kehna.
Khushi: Matlab.. yeh gana gaakar?
Arnav: umm hmm..
Khushi(inocently): Toh?
Arnav(smacks her back): Jaankar anjaan mat baniye!
Khushi couldnt keep up the act when he said that.
She laughed before pecking his lips again.
Khushi: Samajh gaye!
Arnav(pecks her cheek): Good girl!
Khushi: Achchha, ab chhodiye humein!
She felt Arnav's hold on herself tightening when she said that.
Arnav: Kyun?

She thought for a few moments before replying.
Khushi(sings): Daarllliiinnnggg!
Aankhon se aankhein chaar karne do!

Arnav was stumped by her reply.
Khushi knew that he would not know the actual lyrics of the song so she could tweak them as per her needs.
Khushi(sings): Darling, aankhon se aankhein chaar karne do!
Roko na,roko na, mujhko kaam(pyaar) karne do!
Bekaif hai bahaara..

Here she stopped abruptly which led him to frown deeply.
Khushi: Chhodiye! Isk aage k bol waise bhi aapki samajh me nahi aayenge. Pehli do lines samajh hi gaye honge toh humein chhodiye aur apnaa kaam karne dijiye!
Arnav: Ab tumhe kya kaam karna hai,Khushi? Baitho na yaheen pe!
Khushi: Aur baithkar kya karein?
Arnav(holds her hand): Mujhe tumhari mehndi dekhne do.. Ab tak mujhe isme apnaa naam dhudne ka mauka hi nahi mila!
Khushi(relents): Theek hai, dhoond lijiye! Aur phir.. (decides against it)Baaki baatein baad me baatayenge, pehle aap naam dhoondiye!
Arnav: Sach bataao, isme mere pura naam likha hai ya sirf A likha hai?
Khushi: Isme A likha hai.
He smiles as he starts looking for his name.
Khushi: Zaraa achchhe se dhoondiyega kyunki itni aasaani se nahi milega!
Arnav(irritated): Tum bolna band karogi?
Khushi promptly closed her mouth and waited patiently while Arnav surveyed her palm thoroughly to find any trace of an A.
5 minutes passed before he exclaimed "Got it!"
Khushi: Kahaan mila,dikhaiyye..
He pointed to that part of her hand where her palm met her thumb.
Arnav: Yeh raha. Actually I wasnt expecting it here. Mujhe pehle pataa hota toh main isse dhoondhne me 1 minute se zyada nahi lagaata!
Khushi: Koi baat nahi! Der aaye,durust aaye! Waise, aapne ab tak humare pairon ki mehndi nahi dekhi..
Arnav: Dekhi thi, its beautiful as well! Tum toh generally pairon me mehndi nahi lagvaati ho,but I guess iss baar birthday tha isiliye lagvaai,right?
Khushi: Wrong! Ek haath me mehndi lagaane k cone me thodi si mehndi bach gayi thi. (points to her injured hand)Ab iss par toh mehndi lagaa nahi sakte the aur jiji ko sardi hui hai toh woh bhi nahi laga sakti thi. Toh humne socha ki cone me bachi mehndi ko zaya kyun karein? So pairon me lagvaa li!
Arnav: Okay.
Khushi: Uss raat humne aapse poochha tha ki aapko kaise pataa chalaa ki humne apni mehndi me aapka naam ya uska akshar likhvaya hoga par aapne jawaab nahi diya. Ab toh bataa dijiye..
Arnav: Mujhe pataa hai ki tum mehndi ko mere saath associate karti ho. Sagaai k time se dekh raha hoon, jab bhi tum mehndi lagvaati ho toh usme ya toh A ya phir mera naam likhvaati hi ho. And I know how much these things matter to you! Isiliye mujhe yaqeen tha k iss baar bhi tumne aisa hi kiya hoga!
Khushi: Maan gaye aapko! Waise, humari mehndi kaisi hai?
Arnav: Bahut achchhi hai aur bahut dark hai,as always!
Khushi: Woh toh isiliye kyunki aap humse bahut pyaar karte hain!
Arnav: Really?
Khushi: Bilkul! Kabhi apni hatheli par mehndi lagaakar dekhiyega! Phir aap bhi jaan jaayenge ki hum aapse kitna pyaar karte hain!
Arnav: Pyaar ko evaluate karne ka aur koi tareeqa nahi mila tumhe?!
Khushi: Yeh sabse anokha tareeqa hai! Waise,humari mehndi kabhi pheeka(light) rang nahi laayi, shaadi se pehle bhi nahi! Isiliye humein toh bachpan se hi wishwaas tha ki (cups his cheek) humein aise pati milenge jo humse bahut pyaar karenge!
Arnav kisses her forehead when she says that.
Arnav: Paayal ne tumse kuch poochha nahi ki tumhare haath me chot kaise lagi or any of that?
Khushi: Nahi, waisa toh kuch nahi poochha. Par woh keh rahi thi ki humari kholkar haath k pichhle hisse me mehndi lagaa dengi aur phir se patti baandh dengi! Humne bahana banaakar baat ko taal diya.
Arnav(caressing her palm): BTW,Paayal ne kafi achchha design banaya hai!
Khushi: Jiji toh paagal hi ho gayi thi! Keh rahi thi ki tumhari hatheli par A aur K likhkar ussk ird-gird dil banaa dete hain!
Arnav(unable to believe it): Really?
Khushi: Haan! Achchha hua ki aisa karne se pehle unhone humein bataa diya aur humne unhe rok liya!
Arnav: Agar woh dil banaa bhi deti toh kya ho jaata?
Khushi: Hum sabko apni mehndi kaise dikha paatein? Aapne dekha nahi aaj Gomtinagar me sari bachchiyaan humari mehndi ki design ko kitni dilchaspi se dekh rahi thi? Yeh 'A' toh chhota sa hai isiliye kisi k dhyaan me nahi aaya. A aur K,aur woh bhi dil k andar toh asaani se kisi k bhi dhyaan me aa jaate.
Arnav: Wahaan k saare bachchon ki tum favorite ho,especially bachhiyon ki!
Khushi(agrees): Ha,yeh toh hai! Humein unse jitna lagaav hai na,unhe bhi humse utna hi lagaav hai!
Arnav: And you know what?
He paused here to gaze deeply into her eyes.
Arnav: Jab tum bachchhon k saath hoti ho na toh bahut khush hoti ho! (tweaks her nose)Aur bahut cute lagti ho!
Khushi(smiles): So toh hai!
Arnav: Chalo, ab main tumhara bandage change kar deta hoon..
Khushi: Rukiye na! Itni jaldi kya hai? Pehle aap humara dance dekh lijiye.
Arnav: Its okay,baby. Dance phir kabhi kar lena. Aaj tum bhi thak gayi ho aur main bhi.
Khushi: Par humara janmdin toh aaj hi hai na!
Arnav: I know that! Par aisa toh nahi hai na ki tum sirf apne birthday par hi dance karti ho?
Khushi: hmm.. aisa nahi hai.. par..
Arnav(cups her cheek): You dont have to be so disappointed! Aaj humlog aaraam se baithkar baatein karte hain.
Dance tum kal subha kar lena,is that fine?
Khushi: Par humari flight?
Arnav: Dopeher k 4 baje hai.
Khushi(agrees): Theek hai. Toh dance kal subha..
Arnav(opening the bandage): Right!
Khushi: Aur a.. nayi position?
Arnav(casually): Woh bhi kal subha.
Khushi(shocked): Kyun?
When he lifts his head, Khushi notices his arched eyebrow.
Khushi(lowers her gaze): woh.. humara matlab.. (lifts her gaze)humein itni bhi thakaan nahi hai ki hum.. nayi position na aazmaa sakein! Aur.. usse pehle hum soup bhi toh peeyenge..
Arnav: Ha,toh?
Khushi: toh usse taakat milegi humein!
Arnav laughs while removing her bandage.
Khushi(smacks his arm): Achchha, toh aap janmdin k din humari khinchaai karenge,haan?
Arnav shrugs as he applies the ointment on her wound.
He notices the shift in Khushi's expression.
Arnav: I'm sorry jaan! (looking at her wound) tumne sahi kaha tha.. Jab bhi main tumhare ghaav ko dekhunga tab mujhe yeh ehsaas hoga ki cigar meri body k liye kitni harmful hai. Lekin.. uss k saath-saath, mujhe yeh bhi yaad rahega ki.. maine uss din tumhe.. itna majboor kar diya ki.. tumhe mujhe rokne k liye.. yeh drastic step lena pada..
Khushi: Arnavji!
She throws her arms around him and pulls him closer.
Khushi: Humein aapne majboor nahi kiya! Humne aapse kaha tha na,ki humein uss waqt kuch aur soojha nahi isiliye humne.. yeh kiya?
Arnav: Agar main cigar peeta hi nahi toh tumhe.. aisa kuch soojhta hi nahi.
Khushi: 1 galti aapse hui toh 1 galti humse. Matlab humari galtiyaan aamne-saamne kat gayi,samjhein aap!? (kisses the back of his neck)Phir kabhi hum aapse yeh nahi sunna chahenge aur.. humare janmdin k din toh bilkul bhi nahi! (breaks the hug)Chaliye, ab apnaa mood theek kariye! (wipes his eyes)Aaj humara janmdin hai aur aap yeh kaisi baatein lekar baith gaye hain!
Arnav(composing himself): I'm sorry! Ab main aisi koi baat nahi karunga jisse tumhe ya mujhe dukh ho!
Khushi(kisses his forehead): Yeh hui na baat! Chaliye,ab humein nayi patti lagaa dijiye aur mahaul badalne k liye koi achchhi baat kariye..
Arnav: Alright..
He thinks for a few moments before speaking.
Arnav: Tum kabhi *** mall gayi ho?
Khushi: Nahi. Humne ab tak Lucknow ka sirf 1 hi mall dekha hai.
Arnav: Kaunsa?
Khushi: Yahaan matlab.. Hazratganj me jo Big Bazaar hai na?
Arnav(bandaging her hand): Haan..
Khushi: Woh humari zindagi ka pehla mall tha! Hum aur jiji wahaan jaakar, saari cheezein dekhkar itne khush ho gaye the ki jis kaam k silsile me hum Hazratganj aaye the humne woh jaise-taise niptaaya aur ghar bhaage! Mall me ghoomne me waqt kahaan nikal gaya, pataa hi nahi chala tha!
Arnav: Sirf ghoomte rahe ya kuch khareeda bhi tha?
Khushi: Khareeda tha na! Lakme' ka strawberry facewash! Us samay woh 40 rupiye ka aya karta tha.
Arnav(closing the first aid kit): Uss samay matlab.. kab ki baat hai yeh?
Khushi answered even as Arnav got up to wash his hands.
Khushi: Saal 2009 ki baat kar rahe hain hum.
Arnav: I see..
Khushi: Toh hum yeh keh rahe the ki.. Hum dono uss facewash ko Chori-chhupe ghar lekar aaye aur istemaal karte rahe. Hum dono ko hi woh itna pasand tha ki 10 dinon me tube khaali kar di thi humne!
Arnav: Chori-chhupe kyun?
Khushi: Kyunki amma-babuji ko pataa nahi tha ki hum mall jaakar aaye hain. Amma ko pataa chalta toh daant pad jaati kyunki unk hisaab se mall aur badi dukaanon me dugne daam me saamaan bikta hai. Sari cheezon ka pradarshan(exhibit) aise karte hain ki koi ek cheez lene jaaye toh usk badle paanch cheezein utha laaye! Isiliye woh kabhi humein kisi mall ya.. superstore me nahi jaane deti thi.
Arnav: Oh.. toh tumne usk baad woh facewash kisi medical store se ya.. kisi general store se khareeda hoga na?
Khushi(shakes her head): Nahi. Phir kabhi nahi khareeda.
Arnav(leans under the bed): Par tumhe toh woh facewash pasand tha na?
Khushi: Haan,pasand toh bahut tha lekin..
Arnav(interrupts): Toh yeh lo! (thrusts a tube of the same facewash in her hands)Enjoy!
Khushi(shocked): Yeh.. yeh aapk pass kahaan se aaya?! Aur.. aapko kaise pataa chalaa ki humein yeh pasand hai?
Arnav: Yeh Paayal ne mujhe diya tha,tumhe dene k liye. Aur sirf yeh hi nahi, ussne aur bhi cheezein di hai.
He removes a basket from beneath the bed.
Arnav: Have a look..
Khushi is shocked to find it full of goodies associated with her past.
Khushi(picks up a jar): Yeh toh.. Dasseri aam ki chutney hai,jo.. hum Gruh udyog wali mausi se khareeda karte the. (touching a packet) Yeh woh.. pheetein hain jinka amma aur jiji,humare janmdin par,ghar sajaane k liye istemaal karte the! (staring at the basket)Yeh chooran ki goliyaan, yeh.. tin ka dabba, yeh 5 rupaiyye wali Vaseline.. yeh sab.. jiji ne kaha se aur kab ikathha(collect) kiye?
Arnav: Kiye nahi,karvaaye! Paayal ne mujhe jo list di thi ussk hisaab se maine Aman se sara samaan mangvaa liya.
Khushi(sighs): Jiji.. Tumne toh humare beete huye waqt ki yaadon ko ek alag hi andaaz me taaza kar diya! (turns to Arnav) Zara jiji ko phone toh milaaiyye.
Arnav: Sure! (fetching his cellphone)Tum usse baat karo tab tak main soup ka order de deta hoon.
Khushi: Theek hai.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
*Later that night*
Khushi was glad when Arnav asked her to lie down on the bed after undressing her.
Khushi(thinks): Sab kuch lete lete hoga aur.. humein mehnat bhi nahi karni padegi!
Arnav parted her legs farther,placing her feet on the bed such that they were pressed to the matress.
Arnav: Comfortable?
Khushi: Ji. Shuru kijiye..
Arnav pulled his knees together while occupying the space between her legs.
Then he leaned on her and angled himself in position.
Khushi welcomed the weight of his body by wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.
Arnav did not allow himself to get carried away and focus solely on Khushi.
When he felt she was nearing her release, he stumped her by withdrawing himself.
Khushi's eyes flew open when he pulled out of her without preamble.
Khushi: Kya hua honey? Kahin.. aapko chot toh nahi lagi na?
Arnav simply shook his head as he lay down on the bed next to her.
Khushi: Toh phir kya baat hai?
Arnav: I'm fine! Kuch mat poochho! Jus.. take my position!
Khushi(confused): Kya?
She understood what he wanted when he pressed his feet firmly on the mattress and spread his legs wide.
Arnav(opening his arms): Come..
She knew it was pointless to argue at that juncture so she mimiced his earlier position.
Arnav could see the confusion, anger and arousal etched in her features as she guided him to her entrance.
Arnav: I'll explain everythin later,baby. For now jus.. go!
Khushi took charge of the situation and brought herself to her release while leading him to his(release).
Once her breathing returned to normalcy, she lifted her head and stared at him.
Khushi: Ab bataayenge aapne aisa kyun kiya?
Arnav: Jo maine kiya usse edging kehte hain.
Khushi: Ed.. ging?
Arnav: In other words, delayed.. sexual release.
Khushi: Par.. jaanbhooj kar.. aisaa karne ka kya faayda?
Arnav: Faayda hai, Khushi! It gives you greater satisfaction,for one..
Khushi: Humein toh aisaa nahi laga.
Arnav: Par mujhe lagaa! I could feel the changin sensations! Tumhe isiliye nahi lagaa kyunki tum kuch samajh nahi paa rahi thi. Jab hum dobara karenge toh..
Khushi(shocked): Dobara?
Arnav: Haan! Iss baar I'll jus flip you over,since you know the drill. Phir tum dekhna..
Khushi: Par humein aise khud ko sataane ki kya zaroorat hai? Hum waise hi,uss hi position me kar lete toh..
Arnav(interrupts): Tum ek baar try kar k dekh lo. If it works, it works. If it doesnt, main phir kabhi edging nahi karunga, okay?
Khushi agreed with some reluctance.
Since she knew he would hold himself, she too held her release although it tormented her.
Her back ached and her leg twitched when Arnav flipped her over to change the position.
Yet she pulled him inside her as she longed for the all too familiar sensation.
And when she finally allowed herself to go, it overwhelmed her.
Her nerve endings exploded with pleasure.
Arnav patted her back gently once she lay down on him, tired and satiated.
Arnav: How was it?
Khushi: Alag tha par.. wahaan tak pahuchte pahuchte kayeen baar humein aisaa lagaa jaise.. humari jaan hi nikal jaayegi!
Arnav: But ultimately achchha lagaa na?
Khushi: Bahut achchha lagaa lekin.. (smacks his shoulder)Aapne humare janmdin par bhi humse mehnat karvaayi yeh achchha nahi lagaa!
Arnav: Achchha nahi lagaa toh mehnat kyun ki?
Khushi: Humne pehle bhi kahaa tha aapse..
Arnav(tries to recall): Kya?
Khushi: Yeh hi ki aag me ghee daalne k baad usse bujhaaya nahi ja sakta hai!
Arnav rolls his eyes.
Khushi(closes her eyes): Ab baatein band kijiye aur kuch der aise hi lete rahiye. Abhi-abhi uthne ki taaqat nahi hai hum mein!
Arnav: Relax. Aaraam se aur jab theek lage tab uthna. I'm in no hurry.
******
Khushi(opens her eyes): Honey..
Arnav(running a hand through her hair): Yes sweetheart?
Khushi: Kitne baj rahe hain?
Arnav(checks his watch): Paune baarah. (11.45)
Khushi: Kuch hi der me taareekh badal jayegi. Humare janmdin k yeh aakhri pal bachein hain.
Arnav: I know. I hope you've had a fabulous day.
Khushi: Woh toh tha hi par.. ghadi k kaanton ko dekhkar humein kuch yaad aa gaya. Pichhle saal.. iss samay aapne humare sirhaane ek Gulaab rakha tha aur humse kaha tha..
Arnav(interrupts): Happy birthday, Khushi! I wish tumhe duniya ki saari khushiyaan milein!
Khushi: Toh iss saal.. humare janmdin k pure hone se pehle.. kya aap kuch kehna nahi chaahenge?
Arnav: Of course! Main kuch kahunga aur tumhe kuch dunga bhi!
Khushi(smiles): Aap iss bar bhi Gulaab le aayein?
Arnav: Nahi. Pichhle saal woh rose jo maine tumhe diya tha woh bahut special tha, kyunki main usse maa k garden se laaya tha! Isiliye iss saal maine tumhe rose dene k baare me nahi socha, coz I know that no other rose is comparable to that one!
Khushi: Hum samajhte hain. Toh phir.. iss saal aap koi aur phool layein hain?
Arnav: Wait a minute..
He got up and leaned to fish something from under the bed.
Khushi(excited): Bistar k neeche aur kya-kya chhupa rakha hai aapne?
Arnav: Bas yeh hi hai.
He handed her a cylindrical velvette box.
Khushi(thinks): Lagtaa hai iss bar mala laaye hain humare liye..
She was therefore surprised to find a beautiful pearl maangtika inside the box.
http://assets4.mirraw.com/images/747188/TIKKA13_zoom.JPG?1431417666
Khushi: Areh waah! Humne toh socha hi nahi tha ki aap tohfe me yeh denge!
Arnav: Liked it?
Khushi: Bahut zyaada! Ek bar isse lagaakar aayine me khudko dekhkar aayein?
Arnav: Zaroor dekhna lekin.. pehle main jo kehna chahta hoon woh sun toh lo!
Khushi: Areh haan! Boliye na..
Arnav(holds her hand): I still wish ki tumhe duniya ki saari khushiyaan milein! But I also wish ki main tumhari saari wishes fulfill kar paaun aur tumhe utna pyaar de paaun jitna tum deserve karti ho!
Khushi: Humein pura vishwaas hai ki aapne humein usse zyaada hi pyaar diya hai aur aage bhi dete rahenge! Aur saath me yeh pyaare pyaare anokhe se surprises bhi!
Arnav: Yes,for sure! (kisses her forehead) Happy birthday once again!
Khushi(kissing his cheek): Thank you so much! Ab dekhiye, iss saal humara janmdin pichhle saal k janmdin se behtar raha aur waise hi, humein yaqeen hai ki humara agle saal wala janmdin aap iss saal wale janmdin se bhi zyada khaas banaa denge! Saal dar saal aap humein aur bhi zyaada khushiyaan dete rahenge! Aur hum bhi aapko din dugni,raat chauguni khushiyaan dena chahtein hain!
Arnav: Sirf khushiyaan?
Khushi(smiles): Pyaar bhi! Lekin.. surprises k maamle me hum yeh baat nahi keh saktein! Kyunki uss maamle me toh aapka koi jawaab nahi hai!
Arnav(bows his head): Thank you!
Khushi: Chaliye ab hum maangtika dekhkar aate hain aur phir hum so jaate hain.
Arnav: Kyun?
Khushi: Kyun matlab?
Arnav: Matlab abhi toh tumne kaha na ki tum mujhe din dugna, raat chauguna pyaar dogi! So..?
Khushi(smacks his head): Oh ho! Aap bhi na! Ek hi disha me chaltaa hai aapka dimaag!
Arnav(smiles): Jus kiddin!
Khushi: Chaliye ab let jaiyye. Hum abhi aate hain.
Arnav leans on his elbow and watches her as she fixes the maangtika on her head.
Khushi: Kaisaa lag raha hai?
Arnav: Beautiful!
Khushi: Hum isse uss motiyon wale set k saath pehnenge jo humein naniji ne diya tha.
Arnav: It'll match perfectly with that.
Khushi nodded while checking herself in the mirror.
As she removed the ornament, her mind took her back to the night when she had met Arnav for the first time.
She couldnt help but compare that night with the present night.
Khushi(thinks): Uss raat unhone humari dori todkar.. humein sharminda kar diya tha. Aur aaj? Unhone humein yeh sundar sa tohfa dekar humari shobha toh badhaa hi di, saath hi saath uss kadvi yaad ko itne yaadgaar lamhe se pratisthaapit (replace) kar diya! Ab humein jab bhi woh raat yaad aayegi tab hum iss raat ko yaad karenge aur humari aankhon me aansu nahi, humare honthon par muskaan aayegi!
Arnav: Ab waheen khadi rahogi kya?
Khushi: Aa rahe hain..
She placed the maangtika inside the box before returning to the bed.
Arnav(switching off the lights): Goodnight!
Khushi(arms around him): Goodnight!
She closed her eyes and drifted off to sweet slumber.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Khushi was woken up the next morning by Arnav's wandering hands.
Arnav wished her while caressing the curve of her hips.
Arnav: Good mornin'!
Khushi moaned in response and promptly recieved her good morning kiss.
Arnav(smirks): Its shower time!
Khushi(shakes her head): Ji nahi! Its dance time!
Arnav: Abhi?
Khushi(non chalantly): Haan! Pehle dance,phir.. shower aur phir nashta!
Arnav(relents): Okay,bring it on!
Khushi(getting up): Kal,Kaartik k ghar,jab.. chachiji ne humse kaha na ki woh humein Archana jiji ki shaadi ki saadiyaan aur tasveerein dikhaana chahti hain..
Arnav nods while sitting up.
Khushi: Woh bahaana tha! Darasal woh humse akele me baat karnaa chahti thi.
Arnav: Kis baare me?
Khushi: Humare ghar k baare me,humare sasuraalwaalon k baare me.. Woh bas yeh jaanna chaahti thi ki hum khush hain ya nahi? Poochh rahi thi ki sasuraalwaale kaise hain? Kaisa bartaav karte hain?
Koi humein iss baat ka ehsaas toh nahi dilaata ki hum.. aaplogon k jitne ameer nahi hain? Koi humse naukaron ki tarah bartaav toh nahi kartaa na?
Arnav: What?!
Khushi: Matlab.. rishta jahaan.. baraabari ka na ho wahaan.. logon k man me aise saare sawaal uthte hi hain, Arnavji. Aapko dekhkar, aapse milkar unhe tasalli toh ho hi gayi thi par.. sasuraalwaalon k baare me toh unhe koi jaankaari nahi hai na? Toh aise me.. unk man me jo aaya woh unhone poochh liya. Par humne unhe aashwaasit kar diya ki hum dono behnein apne sasuraal me bahut khush hain!
Arnav: I hope she was convinced..
Khushi: Ji haan,woh maan gayi aur humne unhe jo bhi bataaya woh sunkar bahut khush bhi hui! a.. waise.. unhone humse.. kuch aur.. bhi kaha.. matlab.. poochha..
Arnav: Kis baare me?
Khushi: Humare aur aapk.. sambandhon k baare me?
Arnav(shocked): Seriously!?
Khushi(nods earnestly): Aur jab humne unhe.. bataaya ki aap humein bahut khush rakhte hain aur.. humare beechh k sambandh bahut achchhe hain toh.. unhone humse kuch kaha..
Arnav: Kya?
Khushi: woh hum aapko aise nahi bataayenge! 1 minute rukiye..
She fetched her cellphone from the bedside table and started fiddling with it.
Arnav: Whats goin on,baby?
Khushi: Abhi pataa chal jaayega! Ab dekhiye humara dance!
Arnav: Tum chemise me dance karogi!
When she nodded, Arnav was about to say something but he was stopped short by a sharp female voice.

Taare jo babuna,
Tarti babuniya!
Babuna k haath na
Charti babuniya!
(If he stares at her,
She stares right back at him!
He is not able
To tame her!)

Arnav(wonders): Yeh kaisaa gana hai?

His thoughts went astray when Khushi started dancing to the song's tune.

O womaniya, o womaniya!
O womaniya, ah,ah womaniya!

Maange jo babuna prem nisaniya,
Haan, maange jo babuna prem nisaniya!
Bole jo thodi, kati ho kaniya!
Bole jo thodi, kati ho kaniya!

Badle rupaiyya k
Dena chavaniya, haay!
Saiyyanji jhapte toh
Hona hiraniyaa!

Ho... ah ha,ah ha,ah ha,ah ha,ha..
Lala,lala,lala,lalala..

Arnav(loudly): Khushi,pause the song!
Khushi immediately did what she was told.
Arnav: Come here..
The look in his eyes made her heart flutter and her steps shaky as she walked up to him only to be pulled into his lap.
Arnav: Toh chachiji ne tumse yeh kaha tha kal?
Khushi(nods): Haan..
Arnav(punches her cheek): Liar!
Khushi(mischievious smile): Thodi der k liye chakmaa khaa gaye the na?
Arnav(admits): Haan.. jab song start hua tab actually aisa lag raha tha jaise kisi chachi ya mausi ki awaaz ho! Waise, iss gaane ka matlab kya hai?
Khushi(shyly): Jaise ki aapko nahi pataa!
Arnav: First stanza samajh me aaya lekin.. uss k baad wala stanza samajh nahi aaya!
Khushi: Achchha? Toh.. koi baat nahi,hum samjhaa dete hain!
Arnav(smirks): Yes,please!
Khushi: Woh keh rahi hain ki agar pati apni patni se pyar ki nishaani maange, jaise..
Arnav: Lovebite?
Khushi(smiles): Ji!
She gives a tiny bite (followed by a kiss) on his chin.
Khushi(pressing her thumb against his chin): Toh agar woh yahaan maange..
Arnav(interrupts): Kya maange?
Khushi: woh hi.. lovebite! Toh yahaan dene k bajaay, wahaan de dena!
Arnav groans when she bites his earlobe.
Khushi(after soothing him): Aur.. agar woh.. yawn sambandh banana chaahein toh.. (pecks his lips)sirf yeh hi karna! Matlab jo woh maang rahe ho usska ek chhota sa hissa hi dena!
Arnav: How rude!
Khushi: Aur iss k pehle ki woh aap pe jhapat pade, wahaan se hirni ki tarah tezi se bhaag lena!
That said she leaps out of his lap and he allows her to,knowing fully well that she would not leave her dance incomplete.
Khushi: Ab aage!
Arnav: Show me!
Khushi: Ky.. kya?
Arnav: I meant show me your moves!
Khushi: oh.. 1 minute..

The song resumes and so does the dance.

Bolega babuna
Chal, jayi ho Patna!
Haan, bolega babuna
Chal jayi ho Patna!
Patna bahaane woh
Chaahega sattna!
Dai ho na babuna ko
Ticket kataniya, kataniya!
Dai ho na babuna ko
Ticket kataniya!
Patna na jaana chaahe
Jaana Sirhaniya!
Ho... ah ha,ah ha,ah ha,ah ha,ha..
Lala,lala,lala,lalala..

O,oh womaniya! ah,ah womaniya!
(Khushi points to herself)
Ee hai womaniya! Ee hai womaniya!

She comes back to his waiting arm once again.
Khushi: Agar pati kahe ki chalo yahaan chalte hain ya wahaan chalte hain,toh samajh jao! Ki woh kaheen ghumaane nahi le jaayenge! Yeh toh unka bahaana hai, akele me kuch samay apni patni k saath bitaane ka! Har waqt usse satte rehne ka!
Arnav: Sattna ka matlab kya hota hai?
Khushi: chipaknaa.. (tweaks his nose)Jaise aap har waqt humse chipke rehte the, Paris me!
Arnav: Oh,really? Har waqt main tumse chipka hua tha?
Khushi: Matlab zyaadatar.. (dramatic sigh)Kaash yeh gana humne Paris jaane se pehle sun liya hota!
Arnav: Toh tum Paris jaane se manaa kar deti?
Khushi: Bilkul! Paris k ilaava hum Patna, Paatan, Patiala kahin bhi chale jaate aapk saath,lekin Paris? (shakes her head)umm hmm!
Arnav: Agli baar main tumhare saath Patna, Paatan ya Patiala hi jaaunga! Aur jab London jaane ka chance milega na tab akele hi chala jaunga,phir se!
Khushi: Arnavji! (hugs him)Aisi baatein mat kariye..
Arnav(rubs her back): Relax! Main bhi tumhari tarah mazaak kar raha tha!
Khushi: Aisi baatein mazaak me bhi mat kariyega!
Arnav: Okay, I wont! Waise, gana khatm ho gaya hai. So,can we proceed to the bathroom now?
Khushi lifts her head to give him an embarassed smile.
Khushi: Gana yahaan khatm nahi hota hai. (shy)Ek.. aur bhaag hai iss.. gaane me jo.. humne aapko nahi sunvaaya.
Arnav(inquisitive): Kyun?
Khushi: Kyunki uss bol thode se.. aise-waise hain!
Arnav: Ab tak toh you were quite eager to follow her advice! Ab uss gaane me aisaa kya aa gaya jise tum nahi karna chahti?
I'd like to hear that.
Khushi tries to protest but in vain.
Arnav: Dance na karna ho toh koi baat nahi, gana bajaa do.
Khushi(relents): Theek hai,toh suniye..

Reh,reh ke maange
Choli buttoniya!

Arnav(shocked and embarassed): What the..!?

Jee me lukaaye,
Lot lutaniya!
Chaahe munjhaunsa jab
Haath sikaniyaa,haay!
Chaahe munjhaunsa jab
Haath sikaniyaa,
Kandhaa me dena ji
Daant bhukaniya!

She pauses the song before the start of the chorus.
Khushi: Ab iss ka matlab mat poochhiyega humse!
She hides her face in his chest.
Arnav(smiles): Dont worry! Tumne yeh.. bold gana choose kiya aur iss par dance bhi kiya, mere liye woh hi bahut hai!
Khushi: Aapko dance achchha lagaa?
Arnav(kisses her head): Yeah, it was awesome as usual! Now.. can we proceed?
He lifts her in his arms as soon as she nods.
*******
Arnav adjusts the showerhead after checking the temperature of the water.
Arnav: Come..
Khushi pushes her hair behind and closes her eyes as the sindoor cascades alongwith the water.
As Arnav wraps his arms around her,she leans her head on his shoulder and smiles.
Khushi: Yoon toh kuch hi din huye hain par aisaa lag raha hai jaise kitne hafton,mahino bad iss tarah se.. aapk saath nahaane ka mauka mila hai! Humein toh Pariswale din yaad aa gaye!
Arnav(kisses her hair): Mujhe bhi! (sighs)I was dieing to have this alone time with you!
Khushi turns around and cups his wet face.
Khushi: Jaante hain.. Pichhle kuch dinon me hum ek doosre k saath kam hi waqt bita paayein hain.
Arnav: I know right! Mera schedule itna hectic tha..
Khushi: Upar se humara mahina lag gaya..
Arnav(touches her forehead with his own): Main tumhe utna time nahi de paaya jitna main dena chahta tha..
As he leans closer, Khushi notices the dark circles beneath his brown eyes.
Khushi: Humse galti ho gayi. Nahaane se pehle humein aapko massage de dena chahiye tha. Usse aapko aur raahat milti..
Arnav: Galti toh mujhse bhi hui jo maine aaj shaam ki flight book karvaayi. Kal subha ki karvaata toh.. hum dono ko aaj ka pura din ek doosre k saath mil jaata.
Khushi: Ab chhodiye in baaton ko! Jo hona tha so ho gaya! Humein toh waqt hamesha kam hi lagega..
Arnav(nods): Woh toh lagega par ghar jaakar.. waqt actually kam padega.
Khushi: Haan.. Nanheji aur Lavanyaji k waapis jaane se pehle unki bachi-kuchi kharidaari karvaani hogi humein. Naniji ki saheli ki bahu se milne bhi jana hai. Kitne dinon se humne kapdein nahi samete. Almaarih ki safaai bhi karni hogi.
Arnav: Agle 2-4 dinon ka mera schedule kaafi tight hai. So I'm jus waitin for these days to pass. Ek bar tum office aana shuru karogi phir atleast lunch toh hum dono, ek doosre k saath, ek doosre k haathon se kar paayenge!
Khushi: Humein bhi un dino ka intezaar rahega! Filhaal hum iss pal ki sochein aur woh karein jo karne hum yahaan aaye hain?
Arnav: Sure!
He kissed her passionately while diverting the showerhead away from their faces.
Khushi: Waise.. hum.. nahaane ki.. baat kar rahe the..
Arnav: Par main.. toh iss hi.. ki baat.. kar raha tha!
He cupped her breasts while kissing her again.
She felt that no amount of water falling on her body could cool the heat which his touch ignited.
Arnav led her out of the shower while kissing her damp neck.
Khushi straddled him as he sat on the toilet seat.
Arnav smiled at her as she took him inside of her.
Arnav: Iss baar bhi.. aisaa lagaa jaise.. yeh bahut time k.. baad hua?
Khushi could only moan in reply.
Arnav: Phir kabhi.. aisaa nahi lagega!
Here she opened her eyes and frowned at him.
Arnav: Kyunki ab kabhi.. aisaa hoga hi nahi! (smirks)I'm goin to make.. good use of.. our bathroom in Shantivan!
Khushi shook her head even as her lips broke into a smile.
She was definitely looking forward to the near future.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The rest of the morning passed in a whirlwind and before she knew it, it was time for them to leave.
Khushi was packing her bag halfheartedly when her phone rang.
Khushi(answers it): Namaste amma!
Amma: Khush reh,bitiya! Chalne ki taiyyaari hui gayi?
Khushi: Ha,bas.. saamaan hi samet rahe the.
Amma: Arnav bitwa.. theek toh hai na?
Khushi: Ha,amma. Woh bilkul theek hain. (sighs)Hum hi udaas ho rahe hain yeh sochkar ki kuch hi der me.. Lucknow chhodne ka samay aa jayega.
Amma: Oo tau hum tohri aawaaj sunte hi samajh gaye the! Apnaa man majboot rakhna,Khusi! Toh ko khud ko bhi sambhaalna hai aur Arnav bitwa ko bhi.
Khushi(nods): Hum jaante hain,amma.
Amma: Waise,bitwa hain kahaan? Tanik humri baat toh karva unse..
Khushi: Woh manager se baat karne gaye hain. Aadhe ghante me humlog khana khaakar checkout kar lenge.
Amma: Achchhi baat hai. Jaldi nikloge tau sahi samay par hawai adde pahuch jaoge.
Khushi: Arnavji bhi yeh hi keh rahe the. Achchha amma, hum soch rahe the ki.. kal aapk yahaan aa jaayein. Aap sab se mulaaqaat bhi ho jayegi aur humne Lucknow se jo liya hai aapk liye woh aapko de bhi denge.
Amma: Humri khaatir kuchho lene ki kaa jarurat rahi,bitiya? Janmdin tohra tha,humra naahi!
Khushi: Ha amma par aaj hum Hazratganj k baazaar gaye the. Wahaan humein kuch cheezein pasand aayi aaplogon k liye toh hum woh le aaye! Waise bhi (in a small voice) hum kahaan roz-roz Lucknow aane wale hain.
Amma: Achchha,theek hai. Humse toh tohri mulaaqaat aaj saam hi hui jaayegi.
Khushi(wonders aloud): Woh kaise?
Amma: Naniji ka savere phone aawat raha. Oo humka raat k khaane par bulaaye rahi. Aaj Santivan maa tohre janmdin ki khusi maa daawaat hai!
Khushi(smiles): Areh waah! Yeh toh humein pataa hi nahi tha! Lagtaa hai di aur naniji humein surprise dena chah rahe the..
Amma: Areh.. ee batwa toh humre dimaag maa aayi hi naahi! Tohko bataaye diye..
Khushi: Koi baat nahi,amma! Waise bhi,humein pataa hi tha ki hum chaahe jitni baar bhi keh le ki hum seedhe-saade tareeqe se apna janmdin unk saath manaana chahtein hain, wohlog humare kuch na kuch khaas toh zaroor karenge!
Amma(smiles): Sab tohse itne parem jo karat hain!
Khushi(agrees): Ha amma. Humari kismat bahut achchhi hai jo humein aise parivaar milein hain! Iss baat k liye hum Devi Maiyya ki shukarguzaar hain!
Amma: Areh, Devi Maiyya k naam se yaad aaya bitiya.. 5 din baad yaani Sanivar ko Durgaastami rahi. Toh tu vrat rakhegi na?
Khushi: Haan amma. Devi Maiyya ne humari kitni manokaamnaayein puri ki hain! Aise me unka aabhaar prakat karne k liye hum vrat toh zaroor rakhenge,saath hi unk liye khaas prasaad banaayenge!
Amma: Jiyat reh,bitiya. Devi Maiyya ka asirvad sadaa tohpe banaa rahein!
Khushi: Shukriya! Achchha,ab hum phone rakhein? Samay bahut kam hai aur kaam bahut zyaada hai!
Amma: Haan,haan. Bas hawaai adde pahuchne k bad Arnav bitwa se kehna ki Anjali bitiya ko suchit(inform) kar dein. Oo humka bataaye dengi.
Khushi: Ji,keh denge.
Amma: Apna aur bitwa ka dhyaan rakhna. Aur jaldbaaji maa kauno gadbad naahi kar dena.
Khushi: Chinta mat kariye amma..
Amma: Theek hai toh hum rakhte hain. Subh yaatra!
Khushi: Shukriya! Shaam ko milte hain.
Arnav entered the suite 15 minutes after she ended the call.
Arnav: All set?
Khushi: Packing toh ho gayi. Bas.. ek kaam reh gaya hai.
Arnav: I know. Main fresh ho jaaun phir lunch k liye chalte hain?
Khushi: Hum lunch ki baat nahi kar rahe the..
Arnav(frowns): Toh uss k alaava aur kya karna baaki hai?
Khushi: Virendraji se ab tak baat nahi ki aapne.
Arnav's face took on a morose expression as he absorbed what she said.
Khushi: Number laakar dein?
Arnav could only manage a nod.
His fingers turned cold as he dialed the number printed on the visiting card.
His mind replayed several images from his childhood as he waited for his long lost friend to answer the call.
He let out a shallow breath when the ringing ceased and he heard an unfamiliar voice.
"Hello,Dr. Virendra here.."
Arnav: Arnav Singh Raizada..
There was a long moment of silence before the call was cut from the other end.
Khushi panicked when she saw Arnav throwing his phone on the bed.
Khushi: Baat kijiye na..
"Ussne kaat diya, Khushi!",said Arnav,his voice showing his frustration.
Khushi wrapped her arms around him in a bid to placate him.
Khushi: Kamaskam aapne pehel to ki..
Arnav: Usne bahut pehle hi pehel ki thi par tab.. main usse baat karne k liye ready nahi tha. Aur aaj..
His voice trailed off.
Arnav(checking himself): Anyways, we're getting late for lunch. Main jaldi se fresh hokar aata hoon..
Khushi nodded as he left for the washroom.
She placed the container of Gangajal in her handbag.
Khushi(thinks): Iss baar toh Gomti sadan me jaakar Gangaajal chhidakne ka mauka nahi mila. Agli baar zaroor chhidak denge! Ya phir jab amma babuji Lucknow aayenge tab un hi k haathon..
She was interrupted when Arnav's phone buzzed.
Khushi(peering at it): Unknown number hai.. Uthaayein? Ya.. rehne dein?
She decided to answer the call on the last ring.
She heard a loud male voice even before she could say hello.
"Namuraad! Ab jaa kar yaad aaya tumhe ki iss duniya me Virendra naam ka tumhara koi dost hai! Ya,yoon kahein ki.. dost tha."
Khushi tried to speak but was cut short.
Virendra: Lucknow kya chhoda, tum toh hum sab ko chhodk chal diye! Bewakoof! Kya lagaa tumhe, ki naam badalne se, sheher badalne se,jazbaat bhi badal jaayenge?
Khushi: Ji.. woh..
Virendra(shocked): Kaun?
Khushi: Hum.. Khushi bol rahe hain,Arnavji ki patni..
Virendra(embarassed): uhm.. maaf kijiyega! Humein iss baat ka khayaal hi nahi aaya.. ki.. Iss tarah se bina sune bol padein.. usk liye maafi chaahtein hain!
Khushi: Koi baat nahi! Humein khushi hai ki aapne.. phone kiya! Kaise hain aap?
Virendra: Ha.. hum theek hain. Aap?
Khushi: Hum bhi..
Virendra: a.. Arnav.. se baat ho sakti hai?
At that moment,Khushi saw Arnav coming out of the washroom.
Khushi: Ji. Arnavji aa gaye! Aap 1 minute rukiye. Hum abhi unhe phone dete hain..
She literally ran to Arnav who was shocked to see her happy face.
Arnav: Kiska call hai?
Khushi: Virendraji ne khud phone kiya hai, Arnavji!
Arnav(stares at the phone in shock): What?
Khushi: Haan!(hands him the cellphone)Lijiye..
She waited with bated breath as Arnav spoke to Virendra, occasionally dabbing at his tears when they rolled down his cheeks and clutching his shoulder throughout the conversation.
She ignored the pain in her palm as she clutched his shoulder,not only to offer silent support to her husband but also to steady her own wildly beating heart.
She could hardly contain her excitement once he ended the call.
Khushi: Kya kaha unhone?
Arnav: Woh 15 minute me yahaan aa raha hai.
Khushi(elated): Sach!? (exasperated sigh)Hey Devi Maiyya!
She finally let go of his shoulder only to take him in her arms.
Khushi(kisses his cheek): Hum bataa nahi sakte ki hum kitne khush hain! Jab unka phone aaya toh humne pehle socha ki hum nahi uthaayenge, unknown number bata raha tha. Aapne card se unka number dekhkar aise hi dial kar diya? Save toh karna tha na! Khair, phir humne socha ki kya pataa, aapk kaam ka koi phone hoga? toh humne utha liya! (grins)Aur lijiye! Woh toh Virendraji nikle! Kitna achhha hua na jo humne phone utha liya,aur usse bhi zyaada, aapne unhe phone karne ka faisla kiya! Dekhiye, ab woh khud aapse milne aa rahe hain!
Arnav smiled as he saw that Khushi could barely keep herself from jumping and dancing around in joy.
Khushi: Waise,woh aapko daant rahe the na?*when he nods*Jaise hi humne phone uthaaya waise hi woh aapko sunaane lage! Unhone humein hello bolne tak ka maukaa nahi diya! Aur phir jab humne unhe bataya ki hum bol rahe hain, bechaare bahut sharminda ho gaye! Aur..
Arnav: Hush Khushi!
Khushi stopped midway when she saw that rare boyish grin on Arnav's face, which she loved.
Arnav(cups her face): Pehle woh tumhe bolne ka mauka nahi de raha tha aur ab tum mujhe bolne ka maukaa nahi de rahi ho! Aur kuch nahi toh atleast thank you toh bolne do!
Khushi: Thank you kis liye!? Aap yahaan hote toh aap khud hi phone uthaa lete na? Ab aap nahi the toh humne phone utha liya,usme kaunsi badi baat ho gayi!?
Arnav: Usk liye nahi,silly! Tumne mujhe convince kiya usse baat karne k liye,tab hi maine usse call kiya. Varnaa.. main kabhi yeh nahi kar paata aur humari mulaaqaat bhi nahi ho paati! (pecks her lips)Thank you so much, sweetheart! I love you!
He pulled her close to himself and buried his face in her hair.
Khushi(caressing his head): Hum bhi aapse bahut pyaar karte hain! Aur hum aapk liye bahut khush hai! (breaks the hug)Ab jaldi chaliye! Virendraji restaurant pahuche usse pehle humein wahaan hona chahiye na?
Arnav could barely manage to lock the suite as Khushi tugged at his hand and nearly dragged him outside.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Precap:
Arnav(shocked): Buaji?
Khushi(shocked and elated): Amma, babuji!?
Buaji: Haan babua,hum ahi hain! Kaahe, humka hawaai adda par dekhk chaunk gaye naa?
Arnav: Haan,buaji. Mujhe lagaa ki Aakash ya di aayenge.
Khushi: Humein bhi woh hi lag raha tha.
Buaji: Ee sab Anjali bitiya ki kaarastaani hai! Oo humse kahat rahi ki buaji, har baar humre parivaar se hi kauno sadasya hawaai adde jaat raha tau kaahe naahi ab k baar aaplog huaan jaayein? Oo logan ka surprise mil jai hai aur aaplogan ki sair hui jai hai! Tau hum aa gaye!
Khushi(smiles): Bahut achchha kiya, buaji! Waise, jijaji toh aaye hi honge na aapk saath?
Amma: Naahi bitiya. Aakas bitwa tau ghar par hi rahe, Payalia k pass. Humre saath driver babu aavat rahe.
Khushi(panics): Jiji k pass kyun? Kya hua hai jiji ko?
