Chapter 6

Anjali couldn't get his words out of her mind. What actually did he mean? She wanted to ask him but then turned away from him. He was going to deny anything she asks. But she couldn't shake that thought away that her brother was interested in Kushi ji. She looked heavenwards.

*************************************

Anjali got ready in the morning had her breakfast with the family. Akash was again missing from the table.

'Nani I am going out..'

'where Anjali bitiyan?'

'Ji Nani I was thinking of visiting Khushi ji .'

'she had come only yesterday Anjali bitiyan.' Sadi mami.

'Han mami I want to go meet her family her babuji Amma Payal ji and buaji..'

'That's a good thing go and comeback saftely.' Nani smiled affectionately looking at her.

'Di, I am on my way to the office I'll drop you.' Arnav pushed his chair back.

'But Chote, I want to take some sweets with me I can't go empty handed. Do one thing drop me at a sweets shop and then you go.'

He nodded.

Anjali took her leave from Mami and limped towards the exit.

Manorma looked at them go. She wanted to go with them but how was she going to say it? Maybe she should wait and see.

'What is it?' asked Mamaji looking at her tensed face.

She shrugged off.

'You wanted to go Manorma?'

She looked at her husband stunned. How did he know.

'I know what runs in your mind if you like it or not, if you want to go and make up for the things you have done then do not waste your time.' He said sipping his tea.

Manorma threw a glance at her Sasuma she knew SaSuma was listening to them.

She nodded.

'Anjali Bitiyan….' Mami shouted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anjali insisted Arnav leave her and mami at the shop but he refused to listen to her. Anjali brought sweets and got back in the car along with manorma. Anjali takes a peek at her mami who was lost in her own world since they started from home.

The car stopped and Anjali and Mami got out.

'Thank you chote.'

'I will be here go and come back.'

Anjali frowned.

'Go and comeback what are you saying I intend to sit here for some time.'

'I'll wait.'

'Chote if you fear they are going to throw us out then you are wrong. You can't sit in here go to your office or join us..' she turned to their house .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Payal took the cup and plate and cleared the table. Khushi was out to see one of her students who fell sick. She helped her father to sit on the sofa and she moved to the kitchen. She heard the knock. Keeping the plate and cup quickly in the kitchen she walked briskly to the door.

'Who is it NandKishore', asked Bua ji walking to the hall.

Payal was surprised to see Anjali and Akash's mother.

'Can we come in Payal ji..'

'Ji' she moved away from the door. her eyes met Manorma's.

'Ji Namaste.' Anjali said to Shashi Giupta. Manorma joined her hands and stood quietly near Anjali.

Buaji took a moment to react.

'Come and sit down Anjali and Mami ji.'

Garima came running from the kitchen. she stood stunned seeing them.

An uneasy silence fell in the room Anjali said, 'Khushi ji..'

'She is gone out to see one of her students who have fallen sick.'

'Student?' Anjali was surprised.

'Han she takes math's tuition.' Said Buaji looking at Manorma who was little ill at ease.

'Hows Mamaji?' asked Garima sitting down opposite them.

Anjali replied they all are fine and Nani has sent her regards to everyone. The silence fell again. If Khushi was there it would have been different thought Anjali. The awkwardness still lingered in the room. she looked at Payal.

'How are you Payal ji…'

Payal smiled. Manorma noticed her. why did she not look at the girl Akash loved properly. She looked cute.

Anjali gathered her courage and Said, 'Buaji Amma and Bauji we are very sorry for the things that had happened.

Payal stepped in front and caught Anjali's hand.

'Anjali ji don't say it. Khushi told us everything. Forget about all that.'

Anjali smiled. Bauji nodded.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Khushi brought vegetables on her way back. she walked hurriedly to her house. Bua was going to make hungama if she did not reach in time. She was at the house she saw Raizada's car.

'Anjali ji is home?' she was about to run inside she heard him.

'Khushi…'

Khushi stopped he was standing near the car with his phone in his hand.

Why should she stop to listen to him. he did not want to see her then why should she .. she took a step forward.

'Khushi .. when I am talking to you do not walk away.'

She did not give any heed to it she ran inside with the vegetables.

'What the… Khushi…..' he followed her in.

Khushi's face brightened at the sight of Anjali and she was surprised to see mami ji.

'Anjali ji.. and mami ji what a surprise.' She put the bag at the side and beamed at them.

Everyone's face lighted at the sight of her.

Khushi screened the room and asked, 'Buaji you did not ask them for Nashta what will you'r Nandkishore think?'

'Hai re Nand kishor..' Buaji placed her hand on her head. 'Come on Garima let's make something..'

'No Buaji we just had our Nashta…' Anjali smiled.

'But dear we will get something..'

'Tea is fine.' Mami ji spoke.

Buaji gave her a nod and left with Garima.

Khushi took Anjali's hand and said, "thank you for coming..' she turns her head at mami and smiles. 'Thank you mami ji.'

Manorma smiled. Khushi tilted her head towards Payal who looked Surprised at the change in Manorama.

'Sit here.' Manora called Payal. Payal hesitated. Kushi pulled her to her.

'Sit jiji.'

'khushi…' Arnav walked in and stopped before them. Khushi looked away.

Arnav's gaze lingered on Shashi Gupta.

'Can I Have a word with your Duaghter?'

Kshushi was stunned she had not expected that. Shashi Gupta looks at his daughter. Khushi tried not to look at her father Payal nudged her.

Anjali and Mamji looked at him surprised.

'Chote..'

'Di I need to speak with Khushi.'

Anjali did not know what to say. Shashi Gupta made a noise and Khushi and Payal understood her father wanted her to go and talk.

;Khushi go..'

'Nahin jiji.'

'Khushi.. what is this childishness go..'

'No..'

'Childishness she has not grown up has she? She was the same and is the same..' he muttered.

Khushi's eyes popped. How dare he call her childish? She sent him daggers.

'You are coming or I need to drag you?'

'chote..' Anjali looked embarrassed.

'You cannot drag me from here this is not your office or Raizada house. I am not your slave when you want..

'Khushi stop this.' Payal's face reddened. Their father shook his head exasperated.

Arnav's jaw tightened and Anjali felt it hilarious. Arnav took a step forward Khushi took a step backward.

"Khushi..' Payal tried to reason with her sister.

'Jiji you stay out of this.. because of this one man I .. I couldn't go and explain to Anjali ji anything… I don't want to talk to him tell him to go away…'

'Khushi…' Payal tried. 'Bauji…' she called him helplessly.

Shahi tried to call her to look at him but No his sisters Sanka Devi is hell bent to behave like a child. 'Kkusi…' he called.

Khushi stopped pacing. 'Bauji….' She turns her head to look at him. Arnav took that moment to pull her hand and drag her outside.

'Leave me bauji…..'

'Chote….'

'Arnav Bitua..' Mamiji tried as Khushi struggled from his hand.

'Ten minutes everyone I'll leave her.'

'Devi Mayya you can't do this to me help me Devi mayya..' She shouted.

Shashi Gupt'as face broke into a smile as he saw her out of the door.

'Sorry for chote's behavior.' Anjali said.

'And Khushi is no less.' Payal told them.

Manorma smiled taking Payal's hand in her's that astonished everyone in the room. Pyal looked at her wide eyed.

Manorma''s eyes filled. 'can we have the marriage back Gupta ji?'

Shashi Gupta did not know what to say. His eyes moistened. Garima andBuaji came with tea and snacks.

'Where's Sanka Devi?' she asked looking around for Khushi.

'Buaji Chote wanted to speak to her so he took her just outside.'

Buaji's lifted her brows.

Khushi tried to pull her hand free from his grip, every time she tried he held her tightly.

'What are you doing intending to fracture my hand leave me you…'

'Then behave yourself.'

'Behave myself who is not behaving here? You think you are some kind of mighty man who can do anything he wants maybe with others not with me you laad governor.'

'Shut up Khushi just shut up.'

'Why should I shut up I am not going to shut up you did not want to see my face then why are you here and dragging me with you that too in front of my bauji how can you do this? Who do you think you are, no respect to the elders even, you…'

He closed her mouth with his other hand. She struggled and he left her as people started noticing.

'All right then go..'

She stopped. 'Why should I go just because you are telling me?'

He shook his head in exasperation.

'What?' she snapped.

'Go inside Khushi just get out from here.'

'Get out from here why should I get out? you come and take me out and now push me inside whats wrong with you and who do you think you are?'

'Shhh.'

'Wha…

He silenced her with his look. 'If you can shut up for some time I need to talk to you shall we go and sit in the car or you want to make a scene here on the road?'

She turned her face angrily.

'Oaky then go.. I have no time for your….'

'Alright what is it you want me to listen to?'

Arnav walked to his car Khushi followed him.

He opened the door and sat at the driver's seat she went and joined him opening the door.

'Ji tell me..'

'Why did you not comeback and explain Khushi?' he said after a moment.

'So that you can throw me again? You told me not to come before you and Anjali ji.'

'But I keep telling you these things all the time why you had to listen to this time?'

Yes why did she listen to him this time? She should have gone and explained to him but why did she not go because Anjali ji did not want to see her.

'Because you spoke like never before and Anjali ji did not want to see my face.' her eyes brimmed with tears.

He saw the pain flash in her eyes. 'Because di had lost it completely. Khushi she is recovering from her shock.'

'Ji?' Khushi couldn't believe what she heard she grabbed his hand and looked at him for confirmation.

He nodded. Realizing she was holding his hand she left him immediately. 'I am so sorry to hear about that.'

He saw the genuine concern. The silence fell between them.

'You should have come to the house di would have recovered long before.'

'Oh yeah and then you get another opportunity to throw me out you always threatened but has never done it but I am sure you would have done that too. I am one big nuisance to you and I'll always remain one that will not change Arnav singh Raizada. Shall I go now?'

He did not respond. She clicked the door opened. 'Kshushi..'

she turned her head over her shoulder.

'Thank you for coming to see di… wont you come again for her.'

Khushi pinched her. did she hear him right? Her eyes widened and he ignored it.

'Anjali di can come here all ways she is welcome to come here.'

'Why damn it you cannot come to our house?' he snapped.

'This is the reason… you will find reasons to get angry with me you will stare and complain all the time you…….' She pointed her fingers at him.

He couldn't help but smile. 'I won't do it if it bothers you.'

'Oh It bothers me big time.. every time I see your face like whatever you think is right I wanted to…..' she stopped immediately what was she going to tell him? Smash his skull and drill sense into him like other people can be right too.

'You wanted to what?' he frowned.

'Oh leave it Arnav ji I have no intention to fight. You said 10 minutes and 10 minutes over.' She put her feet out of the car he pulled her in and shut the door.

She glared at him. 'let me out…'

'not before I finish what I wanted to say.'

She knew there was no way she can get out unless he finishes what he had come to say. She relaxed and looked at him.

She saw his jaw muscles tighten. 'Devi Mayya please save me from his wrath please..' she closed her eyes in a prayer.

'Why do you think I snap at you all the time?'

'Because, you hate to see me before you.'

'Yes and no.'

Her eyes widened.

'Because you are getting under my skin and I don't want that to happen that is why I am always nasty. Because nothing affects you whenever I say anything you say more nasty things and keep my mouth shut.'

'I do because you are a very rude man and I don't like anyone snapping at me for no reason.'

'there's a reason and I have just said it.'

'What reason? You get irritated when I am before you…. You make sure to insult me every time why are you so irritated with me what have I done?' she threw her hands up in the air and complained.

Arnav looked at her exasperated. 'Khushi for God sake get out of here.'

She glared at him. "I was going to, you pulled me in and shut the door mean man… You…'

'Out…'

She opened the door and got out.

Muttering to herself she walked into the house. What greeted her shocked her. Manorma was holding Payal in her arms. and everyone around them looked happy.

'Sanka Devi look at Payaliya..'

'Ji Buaji..' Kshushi smiled broadly.

'Oh because of him I missed everything.' She muttered. Arnav stood next to her following her inside the house.

'Arnav Bitua can I get you coffee?' asked Buaji.

He nodded Buaji went to the kitchen Khushi called out, "buaji do not put sugar in the coffee he doesn't take them with sugar.' She bit her tongue immediately as Anjali and Arnav stared at her.

'Why waste Buaji's coffee if he doesn't drink that's why.' She reasoned her cheeks turning red.

'Yes, yes..' Anjali smiled her gaze lingering on her brother. Did she see a glimpse of smile on him or she imagined it?

'So Khushi ji you will come and visit us right?' Anjali said with a smile.

'No Anjali ji now it's going to be jiji's Sasural and I don't want to be an embarrassment for her.

'Khusi..' Payal send her warning.

'Anajli ji you can come here and join us.' Khushi said.

'She will come di.' Said Arnav ignoring Khsuhi's protests

'Oh No she is not coming certain people cannot keep their anger checked when I am around.' She said looking at him.

Anjali suppressed her smile.

'she will come di.' He repeated.

'Of course not and that is not my Sasural.'

'What if it's your Sasural too?' he snapped.

'Chote…'

'Yes Di.' He murmured for her to hear. Anjali's face brightened. She gathered Khushi in a tight hug. 'Please say yes Khushi.. do this for me do this for him..' she murmured. Kushi stood speechless not in her life she thought a day would come like this. Laad Governor wants her as his wife? Is he out of his mind? She lifted her head up and looked at him. as her gaze deepened on him his mouth curved into a smile. She looked away blushing.

'Khushi it's a yes right…' Anjali asked expectantly.

Khsuhi couldn't lift her tongue she looked speechless.

'Khsuhi..'

'Anjali ji it's a yes if it was a No she would have shouted from rooftop.' Payal said pulling Khsuhi to her.

Buaji, Garima, Mami and Shashi looked at them stunned.

Khuhsi's gaze swept him on her Laad Governor she felt a surge of love and like always her heart started hammering in her chest. She placed her hand on her chest and took it off as their eyes met.

Hum Chup Hain Ke Dil Sun Rahe Hai
Dhadakanon Ko, Aahaton Ko, Saanse Ruk See Gayee Hai
Dekho Ab Duniyaan Ko Gaur Se
Pahale Se Nayee, Pahale Se Hasee
Hum Tum Ko Milanaa Thaa, Mil Gaye
Kyaa Ye Aasamaan, Kaun Ye Jameen
Hum Jo Dekhe, Tum Ko Dekhe
Saanse Ruk See Gayee Hai
