New FF:Eternal Love(Part4,5& 6 updated10/30 Pg5&7)

Khushi on her way back home kept thinking what happened between her and Arnav. When he was that close she almost was breathless, choking and her heart was pounding so fast. She just can't stop thinking about him. Her thought was interrupted when Buaji yelled at her asking her why was she this late today. Khushi didn't reply anything just handed the two silver coins to her.

This made Khushi really happy and she went to sleep. She tried hard to sleep but all she could think was about Arnav and what happened at poolside. She has never been this close to a man. She thought to herself Arnav's eyes are so sexy and inviting. She suddenly realized what she thought and she felt embarrassed and shocked. She blushed and Payal looked at Khushi and asked her why is turning red. Is she feeling fine. Khushi smiled and replied that she is fine and closed her eyes pretending to be asleep.

In RM, Arnav was sitting outside on poolside and just looking up and lost in his thoughts. Anjali came with tea and intererupted his thought by asking him what he is thinking.

Anjali: Chote you look lost but you have a very sweet glow in your face and a glint in your eyes. I see hope, dreams and happiness in your eyes. I see calmness and peace in your face.

Arnav: What rubbish? I am just tired so I am sitting outside and relaxing. Di you are imagining all this.

Anjali: Chote I have known you all my life. These days I get a glimpse of the chote I lost long time ago. I know who the reason is behind all this(she had that mischievous smile on her face)

Arnav: Di you are imagining something and I was not thinking about Khushi.

Anjali: Did I say you were thinking about Khushiji(with a chuckle). But since we are talking about her I wanted to tell you that nani,myself, Akash, mama and La all love her. She will be a great wife, daughter in law, friend. She is great choice for life partner.

Arnav: Di I don't understand what you are trying to say(he was blushing and trying really hard to maintain his composure)

La: ASR I always wished that you loved me but I realized it a while back that you will never love me. For you our relation is a relation of convinienece. I also started feeling that you may have fallen for someone, I mean FINALLY ASR IS IN LOVE AND IT IS NOT ME FOR SURE. I confided this to Anjalidi and she also confided in me that she also felt the same. So ASR, di, nani and I all know that you love Khushi. Now I know you will deny this to us but don't bother explaining us anything just ask yourself what you want.

Arnav: (Looking surprised and shocked) La if you think I love Khushi then why are you still here? I don't mean to insult you but I am not able to understand you.

La: Di requested me to stay back till we both were sure that you have reached a point where you will come in terms with your feelings. I am your friend and I truly care for you so I decided to stay back. If I left then Khushi had no reason to come to RM.

Arnav: I don't know what to say.

La: ASR we were always good friends and I guess it was a mistake on our part to think that we were anything more than friends. Trust me when I say this, it is in best interest of both of us. I also want someone who will look at me the way you look at Chamkili. It will be a shame if we spend our lives living like this.

Anjali: Chote I and nani are so thankful to Lavanyaji. Chote do you love Khushiji?

Arnav: Di please(blushing and walked away). He turned back and smiled at Anjali and said, "Di thought you could read my eyes'". Anjali smiled and got her answer.

They all went to sleep knowing what needs to be done tomorrow.

Khushi laying on her bed thinking about Arnav and wondering why she likes to be near him. She skips a beat everytime she see him. She gets goosebums when she is close to him.

Arnav laying on his bed smiling and thinking about Khushi. He was surprisesd that he could feel like this for someone but he never realized when this happened to him. Now it was too late to shy away from his feelings because he couldn't anymore imagine a day without her.

Anjali lay next to Shyam content that finally her brother has found his happiness. Anjali was sure that Khushi is that one person who can erase all pain and heartache from Arnav's heart.

Nani was happy that finally she will get a good, sanskari bahu.

La was a bit sad but also happy because she thought if ASR can fall in love with someone then she will also find that one person who will love her as much ASR loved Khushi.

Khushi entered RM. For her it was just another regular day without knowing what awaited her today. She prayed to Devi Maiya before entering RM. She greeted OP and excited to see that they will be doing for Diwali preparations today. Nani greeted her and told her that she should join them all for breakfast and after that she can teach Lavanya how to make Rangoli. Khushi agreed hesitantly after Nani insisted.

In Breakfast table everyone was there, including Arnav. Nani told Khushi to sit next to her. She was sitting opposite to Arnav. The moment there eyes met, a rush of emotions ran thru her veins and she could hear her heartbeat. Arnav also felt that strange feeling of just holding her close to him. They were looking at each other. Anjali coughed to make the two love birds realize where they were. Arnav smiled and Khushi just looked down.

Anjali: Khushiji apke bauji kaise hain abhi.

Khushi: Bauji abhi thode think hain. Dr ne bola tha ki shayad waqt ke sath won thik ho jayenge. Main roz devi maiya se yeh mangti hoon ki woh babuji ko jaldi thik kar dein.Humain vishvaas hain divi maiya pe ki who bauji ko jaldi think kar denge.

Arnav: Don't worry thinks will improve and turn for better. Yeh mushkil waqt bhi nikal jayega.

Nani smiled and agreed with Arnav. Nani was glad how Arnav was changing for better due to Khushi.

Arnav saying those words somehow meant a lot to Khushi. She didn't know why but Arnav saying that things will get better made her really feel that things will get better.

She and La were sitting on floor and Khushi was showing her how to make Rangoli.

La: Khushi I am not sure with whom to say this so I am sharing this with you. I don't think I love ASR and neither does ASR love me.

Khushi: felt happy from inside but didn't realze why. She was also confused Lavanyaji if you don't love him that why do you want to marry him.

La: I don't want to anymore but I am scared to tell this to anyone. You know ASR's anger, right?

Khushi: Arnavji itne bure bhi nahin hain. Haan unko thoda gussa zyada ata hai but woh samjhenge agar aap unse sab sach sach bol denge. Apko pata hai hamre buaji hari zabardasti shadi kissi karane chante hain aur hamne mana kar diya hai.

La: Wow Khushi but tumne mana kyun kiya? Do you love someone?

Khushi: LOVE(both her eyes were going to pop out)… nahin nahin… pata nahin Lavanyaji… aajkal humko dhak dhak aur acidity bohat hota hai… hamari chodiye

Anjali: Arre wah aap dono milke bohat sunder rangoli banaye hain. Khushi looked nervous hoping that Anjai didn't hear her and La's conversation.

Anjali: Khushiji hame poolside main help chahiye with lights. Can you both help me?

La and Anjali exchanged looks and La confirmed that she has told Khushi that she is not in love with ASR.

On the other hand Khushi was thinking about what La just said. She was wondering why was she soo happy from inside knowing that La does not love Arnavji. What if La is wrong and Arnav loves La, he will be so heartbroken. Khushi lost in her thoughts debating with herself whether it was good or not bumped into the glass wall. She looked up and saw both Anjali and La were looking at her concerned and she really felt stupid. Anjali came to Khushi and asked her if she is o.k. Khushi nodded that she is fine. Anjali was telling La and Khushi that how much she wished if her Chote also participated in Diwali preparations but she knew that he would never do that. Khushi told Anjali that she will break a wire and tell him that he needs to come down to fix it or else there will be no lights at home for diwali. Khushi was falling into the Anjali-La trap just they planned. Anjali smiled and said that why doesn't she go and try to get Arnav. Khushi oblivious of Anjali-La's plan and really trying to help them started walking towards Arnav's room. She was nervous because she knew that ASR is smart can figure out when people are playing with him. Khushi knocked and asked if she could enter. Arnav was really happy to see her again, second time since morning.

Khushi: Hamri batti nahin jal rahi

Arnav: Looking all confused and lost, "Tumhari Batti"

Khushi: flustered again, "hamari batti, nahin matlab aapki galeyare ki batti"

Arnav realized who send her and what Anjali and La were upto

Khushi: all flustered "Anjaliji ne chahti hain ki aapka vanvaas toote… toe humne taar tor diya.. matlab humse toot gaya.. aap niche aynge toe judh jayega nahin toe nahin jude ga"

Arnav looked up giving those killer looks to her. He knew exactly what Anjali was upto and he did not seem to mind to play along with it. So he asked Khushi how the wire broke. She again came up with some silly story and Arnav knew that she will not leave until he goes with her. So he got up and started walking with her. When they both arrived Anjali and La acted all worried that what they will do now since all stores are closed today for Diwali and how will they light up house since no electrician is available. Arnav gave Anjali that look trying to say, spare me the trouble of acting I am not Khushi.

Arnav: With a cute smirk on his face, "Di what do you want me to do?"

Anjali realized that he is not just asking about lights. She giggled replied,

Anjali: Kya aap sab kuch humse pooch ke karte hain? You should know what to do aur phir humain aur Lavanyaji ko ander kaam hain toe aap aur Khushiji milke apne uljhan ko suljhayie.

Anjali and La were holding their laughter with great difficulty. Arnav was turning red because he knew exactly what Anjali meant but also loved getting teased by her. It felt so right to be teased with Khushi. Arnav nodded his head and smiled. Khushi who was a spectator of all this was not able to fathom what was happening and looked all puzzled. She saw Anjali and La leave and realized that she was alone with Arnav. She felt nervous and just wanted to run. Khushi started to walk but Arnav held her wrist. This time he didn't hold it that tight, but just enough to stop her. He walked closer to her and Khushi could feel jitters running thru her spine. His touch was electrifying. She was looking down and breathing heavily. She had no idea what to do.

Arnav: I thought you wanted me to help you fix something with lights.

He was staring at her knowing exactly what his closeness was doing to her. His heart was also beating fast and them being that close arouse some unknown passion and feelings that he had never felt or known. He just felt like holding her tight, kissing her… he wanted to feel her. He shook his head trying to get rid of those desires.

Arnav: Toe Khushi tumne taar kahan toda hai. Show me so that we can fix it.

Khushi: Who humne wahan toda hai,

She looked up all flustered and scared at what she just confessed. She thought he will now yell at her. Arnav who was still staring at her, smiled and walked in the direction of broken wire. Khushi was shocked that Arnav didn't say anything.

She murmured to herself, "Lagta hai laad governor aaj ache mood main hain. Aaj toe pakka andhi-toofan ayega." Arnav looked back and said, "I heard that". Khushi grinned like a child who was caught red handed doing mischief. Arnav knew that he had to tell her about Lavanya and him to her. That was the right thing to do.

Arnav: Khushi wahan se pliers le ke ana please.

Khushi's mouth gaped open when she heard please. It was a revelation that this man can also say please. Khushi gave pliers to him. He could have fixed it all by himself but that would have refuted what his sister was trying to do for him. He asked her to hold the wires. He slowly started talking,

Arnav: Khushi tum La ki ache friend ho na so I need to tell you something. I mean I need to tell someone so maybe you.

Khushi was looking at him with surprise that Arnav Singh Raizada is confiding something to Khushi Kumari Gupta, really? Arnav reading her expression contd saying,

Arnav: Khushi I am not sure who else can I share this with since I don't know any of La's friend and di is not exactly her friend. I don't think that I and La can live together or for that matter I don't think that I care for her enough to keep her with me. Maybe you were right when you said the other day that I don't love her.

Arnav sighed, so finally he had spelled it to Khushi that he is not in love with La. Looking at Khushi's face he knew that La had already confided that she was also not in love with ASR. Arnav smiled because now he realized what his sister really wanted him to do.

Anjali standing behind doors trying to listen to what they were talking finally thanked god that her buddhu brother atleast had the sense to do the right thing. She was happy that now both La and Arnav had told Khushi that they both are not in love with each other. So she left for kitchen to prepare something sweet.

Khushi who was still in shock said, "Aar aapko who ache nahin lagte toe aap unhain ghar kyon laye?" Arnav didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not but he decided to tell her the truth something that he had not even told his sister.

Arnav: Khushi I did not want to get married. Nani and di were behind me to get married to someone and La is a good friend. She also did not want to get married so we decided that maybe we should try to live together and see if this friendship can move any further. This solved the problem that Nani and Di will not pester me to marry some girl. But I guess we both realize that it won't work out. After she met you her priorities have changed. She wants to find true love and wants to marry and get settled. I don't see myself getting married to her ever. I cannot see in her the glimpse of my mother. She is not that woman I see myself 30 yrs from now.

Arnav: He looked straight into Khushi's eyes and he said, "I never thought that I could live again, or laugh or for that matter feel any emotion again but I think these days I am feeling a lot like a teenager I was long time ago. I am not sure if I am ready for marriage because the thought of marriage still scares me but like Di quotes Shakespere, "Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt." I am willing to attempt and maybe I will change for better or worse on the way."

The way Arnav looked at Khushi during their conversation Khushi was melting but also felt something special inside. She felt like she has found her destiny. She broke the silence,

Khushi: Apko agar shadi karne hain aur Lavanyaji se nahin karne hain toe kisse karne hai? Kya aap Nani ya Anjaliji se kehenge ladki dekhne ke liye. (looking confused, shocked and sad at the idea of Arnav marrying someone)

Arnav almost smacked himself for spelling to her that he may be willing to marry because now he knew that she will tell Di. So he had to stop her.

Arnav: Khushi will you promise me that you will not tell Di about the marriage thing. I don't know why I said that please.

Arnav could not gather courage to tell her how he felt for her. It was too much for him for one day. He just confessed his feelings to himself and di yesterday.

Khuhi nodded and said, "Apko Lavanyaji se keh dena chahiye. Shadi har ladki ka sapna hota hai. Har ladki ka sapna hota ki who jisse shadi kare who uski pure zindagi ban jaye. Zindagi main toe acha-bura waqt ata jata rahega but agar who uske sath hamesha rahega toe zindagi main kuch bhi mushkil nahin hoga. Bas uska sath hi kafi hoga zindagi bitane ke liye."

Arnav smiled and he knew that he was making the right decision. She is the one. Even his mother use to say that life is worth living only when you have someone special to share it with. He's found that someone special and he is not going to let go of her.
