I'm gonna do 2 or 3 more updates and then end the story. I might start another one though. Bear with me, here we go...__________________________________________________________________________________
"Ji... hum... woh..." {um ... i... that...}
"Kya? What do you want Khushi" {What? What do you want?}
"Hum yahan yeh poochne ke liye aaya tha, kya aap jaanti hai ki Nanheji kahan hai? Hum use dhoond rahi thi lekin woh milhi nahi rahi." { I came to ask if you know where Nanheji is? I can't find him.}
Arnav looked at her with complete rage.
Yeh kaafi nahin thi ki woh mujhe disturb kiya lekin woh NK ki bari main jaana chahti hoon.{It wasn't enough that she disturbed me but she came to ask about NK.}
"Main nahin jaanti hoon ki woh kahan hai. What do I look like? NK's messenger." { I don't know where he is. What do I look like? NK's messenger.}
Sanjana couldn't believe her eyes. She was in shock and just stood there.
Yeh main kya dekh rahi hoon. Mera bhai jo sirf apni deemak istimaal karti hai jal rahi hai!!! Aur woh bhi NK se. Bhaiya manega nahin lekin Khushi Didi ke liye uske dil main kuchh toh hai. Mujhe is baat ka poora yakeen hai. Bhaiya jitna jhoot bholna chahti hai woh bol sakti hai lekin main nahin maan ne wali hoon. { What am i seeing? The brother of mine that only uses his brain is jealous!!! And that too of NK. He won't admit it but he feels something for her in his heart. I'm sure of that. He can lie as much as he wants too but i'm not going to believe him.}
"Aap itna gussa kyun ho rahi hai. Humein sirf Nanheji ki bari mein poocha tha." { Why are you getting so angry? I only asked about Nanheji.}
Arnav stood up and grabbed Khushi by the arms pulling her closer to him. She looked so innocent and naive. Arnav just kept staring at her until their eyes locked. (Rabba Ve in BG) He hadn't realised how hard he was holding her until he saw a tear escape from those jewel-like eyes. He loosened his grip on her but he didn't let go. She looked vulnerable.
"Tu humesha NK ko lekar mere paas kyun aati hai. Mujhe acha nahin lagta jab tu koi aur ladka ki bari mein sochti hai." {Why do you always come to me about NK? I don't like it when you think about someone else.}
Arnav was thinking of all those moments they spent when they were so close together and started thinking why he hated her. Why he didn't like her. He didn't like her and he didn't hate because he loved her. He just didn't know it yet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tu yahan kya kar rahi ho?" {what are you doing here?}
"Shhh tu dekh nahin sakti bahar kya ho raha hai?" {Shhh can't you see what's happening outside?}
"Kya? Nanav aur Khushiji ki beech mein?" {What between Nanav and Khushiji?}
"NK! Sorry maine dekha nahin. Tu kahan thi main tumhare liye dhoond rahi thi, lekin shayed acha hai ki tu nahin mil rahi thi." {NK sorry i didn't see you. Where were you i was looking for you but maybe it's a good thing i didn't find you.}
"Kyun?" {Why?}
"Kyun ki tujhe bahaana ban kar maine Khushi Didi Bhaiya ke paas bheja tha. Aur tu dekh sakti hai kya hua hai." {Using you as an excuse i sent Khushi to Him and you can see what's happening.}
"Yeh main kaafi din se dekh rahi hoon. Definitely Nanav aur Khushiji ke beech main kuchh hai." {Yeah, i've noticed for a while now. Definitely something between Nanav and Khushiji.}
"Okay so not everyone in this house is oblivious!"
"What?"
"Kuchh nahin. Meri madat karega in dono ko saath laane ke liye. Main jaanti hoon ki Bhaiya ke dil mein kuchh hai aur pehli baar ke liye aisa ho raha hai." {Nothing. Help bring them together. I know he feels something for her. it's happened for the first time.}
"Of course! Why not?"
"Thanks NK!"
"No problem. But what do we do now?"
"Pehle in dono kko alag karna hai. Phir baad mein dekhti hoon." {first we have to separate them then we'll see about the rest.}
Nk and Sanjana discussed what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. They knew it wouldn't be easy trying to unite these two but they knew they had to do it.Sanjana came out of hiding with NK and they both walked towards Arnav and Khushi. The two of them were stil close to each other. Arnav hadn't let go. It seemed like when they looked into each other's eyes they were lost. They didn't notice anything around them and didn't find the need to say anything either. They didn't even notice Sanjana and Nk coming towards them until Arnav heard a knock on the glass.
He immediately let go almost pushing Khushi into the pool. All his anger returning with that one motion.
"NK wapas aa gaya. Sanjana ne use dhoonda. Ab jao NK ke paas." { Nk is back. Sanjana found him. Go to him now.}
"Khushi Didi aap theek tho hai. Lagi toh nahin? Bhaiya aap itna gussa kyun ho rahi hai? Maine didi ko yahan bheja tha aapko poochne ke liye. Mujhe ek phone karna tha isi liye woh yahan aa gayi lekin aap bhi na. Didi aap NK ke saath jaaye mujhe Bhaiya ke saath kuchh baat karni hai." { Are you ok? Bhaiya why do you get so angry? I sent her here to ask. I had to make a phone call. Didi you go with NK, I need to talk to him.}
"Ji." {okay}
"Chaliye Khushiji." {come}
Ab step one ke liye... Bhaiya aur Khushi didi ko ehsaas de lana ki woh ek dusre se pyaar karti hai. Mujhe aur di se better ise koi nahin jaanti hai. Use mujhe suna padega. {Now for step one... to make them realize they love each other. Nobody knows him better than me and Di. He has to listen to me.}
"Bhaiya aap kya kar rahi thi?"
"What? Maine toh kuchh nahin kiya."
"Agar baat aisi hai toh phir jab didi ne aapko Nk ke baari mein poocha tha toh itna gussa kyun aaya tha."
"Main kaam main busy thi aur usne mujhe disturb kiyatha isi liye."
"Mujhse jhoot mat bholna Bhaiya. Main aapko achi tarah se jaanti hoon. Aaj subha maine joh kaha tha appko zaroor yaad hoga aur main jaanti hoon ki aap pyaar main vishwaas nahin karti hai lekin yeh deny mat karna ki aap Khushi didi ke liye kuchh mehsoos karti hai. Anjaane mein usne appki dil mein jaga baana diya aur app ne use andhar aane diya."
"Aisa kuchh nahin hai Sanjana. Aisa kuchh nahin hua hai."
"Bhaiya mujhse jhoot bol kar app sach ko chuppa sakti hai lekin apne aap se jhoot bolne ka koi faaida nahin hai. Sirf jab aap is baat ka ehsaas hoga, sirf tab yeh haqeeqat mein badal jayega aur ek na ek din toh hoga. Even if you don't want it to."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Khushi and NK were now sitting in the lounge. He realised it was the only chance he had to talk to Khushi about Arnav.
"Khushiji... aapko nanav kaisa lagta hai?"
"Kya? nanheji yeh app kya keh rahi hai?"
"Main aapse sawaal pooch rahi hoon. Jawab de dijiye please."
"Theek hai. Mujhe use bilkul acha nahin lagta. woh Laad Governor hai. Har baat par gussa aati hai. Humse humesha naraaz hai woh. Aur woh bhi humse achi nahin lagti. Lekin woh buda insaan toh nahin hai. Woh Anjaliji se itna pyaar karti hai. Iska matlab hai ki uske paas dil hai au rwoh pyaar bhi kar sakta hai lekin koi waja hai jiski waje se woh kissi aur ko andhar nahin aana chahti hai."
"Khushiji... app jaanti hai ki aap kya keh rahi hai. Aap Nanav ki tareef kar rahi hai."
"Haan didi, NK sach bol rahi hai. Aapke dil mein Bhaiya ke liye kuchh hai warna aap uski bari mein aisi baatein nahin karti."
"Yeh aap dono kya keh rahi hai. Hum us Laad Governor ko acha lagta hai."
"Haan Khushiji. Sanjana bilkul sahi hai. You don't hate him. You feel something for him."
"Nk is right didi lekin aap kya mehsoos karti hai... Yeh aapko khud faisla karna padega. NK come with me I have to show you something."
Sanjana and NK left Khushi alone. rnav was also in the same situation. They needed time to think about they had just been told. Could they be right? Could there be something more?Arnav was sitting in front ofhis laptop. He hadn't moved since Sanjana left, he needed to think about what she said.
Could she be right? Kya main Khushi ke liye aur Kuchh mehsoos karti hoon. (flashbacks of teej, nainital trip and diwali when he almost kissed her) Jab Khushi meri saamne hai toh mujhe aur kuchh dikhaai nahin deti hai. Har baar maine use musibat mein daal diya tha maine use bacha liya tha. Kyun? Mujhe uski itna fikr kyun hai? Main use bari mein kyun soch thi hoon jab woh meri saath ya paas nahin hai? Kahin toh main use... { Could she be right? Do I feel something for Khushi. Whenever she's infront of me i don't notice anything else. Everytime i put her in trouble i save her too. Why? Why do i care so much? Why do i think of her when she's not near me? I hope...}
Khushi was also alone and decided she needed to think about what the two of them had just told her. Could there have been some truth in what they were saying? Khushi needed to figure it out for herself.
Kya Nanheji aur Sanjana sach keh rahi thi. Kya hum sach mein is Laad Governor ke liye kuchh mehsoos karti hoon. (flashbacks when he saved her from the guest house, Nainital trip when he beat up the goons, teej and the calender shoot) Humein kya ho raha hai. Humein uske bari mein soch thi hai jab woh paas bhi nahin hai. Kahin hum use... { Are they right? Do I really feel something for him. What's happening to me? I think of him when he's not around or near me. Do I...}
