Khushi and Arnav enter the room. Arnav gets angry at Khushi, "Khushi, what is this? Why are you doing this? That cake was sent by my client." Khushi responds, "I know, Arnav ji! But, you said that you did not want to celebrate your birthday!" "I know," Arnav takes a step forward as Khushi moves backwards, "I have heard this many times since morning!" He clenches his teeth with frustration mixed with anger as he says, "Yes, I don't want to celebrate my birthday being my wife, you could have at least wished me! I don't want any birthday party, but this is my first birthday after marriage. At least I can expect this much that you spend some time with me. And you.. you are stuck on just one thing!" OMG.. first brownie point so soon! Well said, ASR! Even though you did not want to celebrate your birthday did not mean Khushi could not dare to wish you. Khushi does so many things without even telling you.. And yes, she could have spent quality time with you' You are so right, ASR! My heart goes out to you. Khushi says with welled up, "Yes, I am stuck on that one thing! Because, you said it! And I don't go against anything you say. You said that no cake, no celebration, no wishes.. when all that is happening..then why are you upset?" Khushi, Arnav just said that it was all about you.. he was not talking about others, it's you! He wanted you to wish him and spend some time with him. Dammit! How come you don't get it, Khushi? Instead you are making him feel bad on his big day!
Arnav just stares at Khushi as she goes off on him. His eyes mellow down as she says, "What do you think? That I did not want to celebrate your birthday? I had made preparations from food to the guests.. I had thought of so much but then let go of everything.. so that everything happens as you like." Then Khushi goes on to say, "Arnav ji, I have changed myself so much for you! What if you have to lose, had you shared your joy with me for a while? You can't even do this much for me?" Stunned Arnav watches her as he clenches on his teeth to control his emotions.
Okay, I totally disagree with you, Khushi here! First of all, you have not changed at all.. you still wear those ugly outfits! Then you still plan things without consulting anyone in house.. and in addition, you have become stubborn.. you want things only your way now.. and you emotionally blackmail Arnav every single time! He came to the temple, put on mehendi, did all rasms.. rituals for you.. you cannot say that he does not do anything for you! Sorry, dear, someone gave you wrong dialogues!
As Arnav and Khushi stand distance apart.. looking at each other,.. their eyes moist.. their hearts heavy.. Khushi upset with Arnav.. Arnav now upset with himself watching Khushi in tears, as Khushi says, "May be I expect too much from you!" Arnav wonders what went wrong and where.. Khushi leaves the room. Arnav's gaze.. full of questions.. anger and disappointment follows her..
Downstairs, at the dinner table:
Everyone is at the dinner table. Khushi helps to serve with a mellow face.. Nani ji looks at her face.. Mami jii looks at her face..Anjali tries to guess what must have happened.. As Khushi walks away from the table, Mami ji says, "Hello Hi Bye Bye! We all did what Phati Saree told us to do! None of us has wished Arnav bitwa 'Happy Birthday!' Despite that why is Phati Saree.. Khushi.. so upset?" Anjali guesses absolutely right, "I think that it has exactly turned out to be opposite of what Khushi ji tried to do!" Everyone looks at each other with thoughtful glances. They realize that they may not have doen the right thing by listening to Khushi this time. Nani ji suggests, "I think that we still have time! We should wish Chhotey a very happy birthday! Who knows, he might be wondering why no one has wished him!" Worry reflects in her eyes. Everyone agrees with Nani ji. Nani ji, this is why I love you! Somehow you still have your character intact, Queen Mother! Very wise woman you are!
As Arnav comes and joins them at the dinner table, NK seizes the first opportunity, "Nannav.. mere bhai.. my bro! Many many happy returns of the day! Happy Birthday!" Arnav looks at him with a mellow gaze as Anjali looks at him with adorable eyes.. Mami ji goes next with a cheerful broad smile, 'Happy Birthday, Arnav bitwa! Hello Hi Bye Bye!" Arnav's face turns softer. Anjali affectionately says, "Chhotey, with God's grace, may this day bring you many joys Wish you a very happy birthday!" "Thanks, Di!' Arnav says eyes his eyes turn soft and his face shows a flicker of smile. Khushi is still upset. Nani ji says affectionately, "Chhotey, best wishes on your birthday!" Arnav smiles gently. Arnav looks at Khushi, serving dinner without any eye contact.. any words.. her face upset,.. Nani ji smells the tiff, she meddles, "Khushi bitiya! Come, join us for dinner!" Khushi says in a flat voice, 'No, I am not hungry!" and leaves. Everyone looks at her. including Arnav' everyone aware that she is very upset. Nani ji says to Arnav, "Chhotey, this was not right on your behalf! Khushi had planned so many things for your birthday. But she could not do anything because you don't like it. . and you got angry with her?" Arnav leaves the table without eating. Anjali smiles with the thought that he has probably gone to talk to Khushi.
Arnav stands by the poolside.. the light reflecting from the pool water creates a tranquil atmosphere.. his hands tucked in the pockets of his trousers.. his face sharp.. his eyes deep in thoughts'.he stares at the ripples in the pool water. Aakash walks in' finds Arnav by poolside.. his face long.. like lost child.. he looks at Aakash as Aakash stands next to him. "So!" Aakash goes, "Fight?,' between the two of you?" Arnav averts his gaze. Aakash knows his brother well, He says in a casual tone, 'Bhai, these girls are so strange! I mean.. when did we meet.. when was something done.. when something was not done!...They remember everything! Then after that, you have to celebrate all those days with them! Actually.. this is the way these girls show their love! .. Keep up with their love! So that they can tell us how much they love us! Sometimes.. it might be too much, right? But.. if these girls did not love us then, we boys would be nothing! Without them.. we are.. Bhai, you must have understood what I have been trying to say!" Arnav listens to his every words.. his mind processes those words well.. he reflects in a soft voice, "I know, Aakash! .. these girls.. I.." Aakash smiles, "These girls!.. seriously.." and smiles at Arnav. This brings a nice smile to Arnav's face. They both look at each other and smile. Aakash gently taps Arnav on his back as he says, 'I'll see you!" As Aakash tries to leave, Arnav says, "Aakash!.. I am not good with these situations! What should I do?" Aakash says with a smile, "You know better what you need to do now!.. Take care!" As Aakash leaves, Arnav starts thinking..
Loved Loved Loved the sweet conversation between these two brothers' Arnav thinks for a while about he needs to do next..
Later in the kitchen.. Arnav struggles to make jalebis.. with different frying pans'. different amount of oil to deep fry.. his hands all smudged with flour.. kitchen apron on.. he tries to get the flour off of his hands by gently tapping them on each other.. only to spread the flour more.. as he tries to get the sugar in.. he drops the box on the plate.. the plate falls on ground with a loud noise to follow.. the flour now gets in Arnav's eyes,.. over his face.. as he struggles to follow the recipe from the book' Nani ji, Mami jni, Anjali, NK and Aakash watch him hidden behind the pillar'
Arnav looks so adorable as he reads the recipe book with his face smudged with flour and his forehead full of frowns! Mami remarks, "Hello Hi Bye Bye! I had heard that after marriage, husband and wife starts looking similar.. but hear.. it's not looking but cooking that's similar.." Anjali says, "Mami, it seems to me that Chhotey is trying to deep fry something!" "Yes!" Mami agrees, "Try to fry! Hello Hi Bye Bye!"
Just then as Arnav tries to put the batter in the frying pan, oil splatters over Arnav's face.. Reflexively Anjali rushes, "let me help Chhotey!" Aakash intervenes, "No, Di! This is between husband and wife! Let Bhai do what ever he is doing!" They keep watching as Arnav continues to struggle.. Anjali's heart goes out to him.. as every moment she wants to go and help him. After some time they all leave him alone in the kitchen.
OMG.. Arnav looks so cute and adorable as a cook.. his expressions are just so wonderful!
As Khushi stands in the dark.. by poolside.. the breeze blows gently.. the light reflecting from the pool water enhances her gentle beauty as she stares at the pool water. Arnav quietly rolls in a trolley in the dimly lit room. Arnav looks at Khushi who sateres outside unaware of his presence. With quiet steps he walks up to Khushi and gently holds Khushi by her elbow. Khushi turns around.. and follows Arnav as he leads her to the trolley. Her face still mellow.. as she looks at the decorated cart, her gaze fills with questions, "What is this?" she asks. Arnav says in a soft voice, "I was upset today.. so, I did what you normally do when upset!" Khushi says, "When I get upset, I make Jalebis! You are not going to make Jalebis! You'" Khushi stops as something occurs to her.. she looks at Arnav who sheepishly looks at her.. "You made Jalebis?" Khushi asks with disbelief! A flicker of smile spreads across Arnav's lips as he lifts the lid from the plate..
to reveal his prestigious creation.. his Jalebis! Khushi's jaw drops open as she looks at the Jalebis.. next moment she bursts out laughing, "These?.. these are Jalebis?" Arnav just stares at her as she laughs at his Jalebis first.. then she controls her smile and says in an appreciative tone, "They are very good!" That brings a smile to Arnav's face. As he reaches for Jalebi, Khushi stops him, "Just a minute!"
Khushi rushes to get a candle. She lights it up and says to Arnav, 'Now close your eyes, make a wish and blow the candle!" Arnav precisely follows her directions as Khushi claps and sings, "Happy Birthday to You.. Happy Birthday, Arnav Singh Raizada,..Happy Birthday to you!" Arnav grabs a jalebi and gives a bite to Khushi,.. as she chews on them he watches her face.. Khushi smiles and says, 'It's very good!" With a happy heart, Arnav reaches for another Jalebi when Khsuhi stops him. grabs the Jalebi and is about to feed him when she realizes, 'But.. you cannot it it!" Arnav smiles and says,
"A little bit is okay!" Khushi smiles and feeds Arnav the Jalebi. Arnav's face turns unpleasant as he chews on the Jalebi and swallows it, "This is so bad! How could you eat it?" Khushi says with a smile, "Because you made it!"
That reminds Arnav of the food Khushi cooked and he had when it did not come out right on the first day after their wedding. Khushi had wondered the same and he had said that it was because she had made it! Arnav's heart fills with gratitude and love. He walks over to Khushi.. takes her hand into his and says in a soft voice, 'Khushi, I am sorry! I should not have done what I did. Khushi wraps her hand around theirs.. as she gently rubs on his hand, "No problem!" Arnav says in softer tone, "I promise, you can do what ever you want on my next birthday. I won't say a thing!" Khushi smiles and asks, "And what about my birthday?" Arnav says, "I will celebrate! I will wish you! Both smile at each other affectionately. For a moment before Khushi hugs him tightly. As Arnav wraps his arms around Khushi, Khushi rests her head on his chest and says, "Arnav ji, I don't like it when we fight like this!" As he holds her close to his heart he says, 'Even I don't like it! Then.. I have to cook Jalebis to make it up to you and they come out so bad!" Khushi smiles and looks him into the eye, "And'. I have to eat it!"
As Arnav releases Khushi from his embrace he asks, "By the way, did you bring me a gift or forgot it in your anger?" "How can I forget that?" Khushi says, "Remember I had said that patience is rewarded well?,.. Just a minute!" Khushi rushes to bring his gift.. when she comes back with a gift box, she hands it to Arnav, he smiles happily and wonders, 'What is this?" "Come on, hurry up.." Khushi becomes impatient as Arnav opens the gift in a systematic manner.. he says in a soft voice, "Okay.. one second'" Khushi cannot bear the wait,.. she snatches the box out of Arnav's hand and says, "Do one thing! Just wear this! I want to see you in this! Go!.. Go!" she hands him the box and almost pushes him towards the bathroom. As Khushi impatiently waits for Arnav she hears his voice, "Khushi, I don't think that it will fit me!" "Is it tight or loose?" Arnav answers, "It seems a bit tight!" Khushi says enthusiastically, "No problem! I can loosen it a bit! You at least wear it and come outside!" "I won't be able to!" he answers. "Won't be able to?" Khushi wonders, "At least try!" Khushi urges. Then she suggests, "Do one thing.. you come out, I will help you!.. Come!" Excitedly Khushi looks when Arnav comes out holding a child sized suit in his hand.. as she looks at the suit in his hand her eyes go wide and her hands almost cover her mouth.. Khushi exclaims with disbelief, "How is this possible? I even took your measurements!" "Excuse me!" Arnav asks surprised, "Measurements? When?" "Yesterday!" Khushi answers.. then it dawns upon Arnav.. as he remembers how Khushi was talking about his arms etcetera.. He exclaims, 'Oh! So,.. al that broad shoulders.. arms like Salman.. I get it!" Then he asks with a s mile, "But what should we do with this?" "What will we do? We will return it to the tailor. It was such an expensive material.. on top, he did not even return remaining cloth.." Arnav says with a straight face, 'I think that he made it with the remaining cloth only!" Khushi gets all worked up as she says, "Thief! I won't let him off the hook so easily!" "Okay.. okay!" Arnav tries to distract her. He says with a smile, "Aren't you forgetting something in all of this?"
Khushi puts the stuff from her hands down. Moves slowly close to Arnav' extends her hand and affectionately holds his face in her hand.. as her gaze caresses his face.. she leans forward and affectionately kisses him on the temple' looks him into the eye and says with a tender smile, "Happy Birthday, Arnav ji!" Arnav reaches for Khushi's face in turn.. hold it in his hands as he brings it closer to his and plants an affectionate kiss on her temple. Then he looks her into the eye and says, "You said it right! Patience brings sweet rewards." Khushi gives him a sweet smile.. a happy smile spreads across Arnav's face as he gazes into her eyes,. He gently lifts Khushi in his arms'.and brings her to the bed..
Next Morning:
At the tailor's: "What's up, Madam?"
Up in arms, Khushi says, 'You took all my cloth and sent me this tiny suit! Such a huge shop and' deed' So small!... Yuk!" "Small? What are you saying?" The tailor asks surprised. "Yes, small!" Khushi says fired up, "I brought you measurements of a solid strong guy! ,.. and you sent me a suit of a child? Are you not ashamed of yourself/" The tailor looks at the suit.. his eyes go wide as he finds a child's suit in his hands. "Don't know, Madam, how this mistake happened!" He says apologetically, "Madam, just a minute. Whose name was the suit in?" "Arnav Singh Raizada.. ASR!" "Yes?" a child's voice surprises Khushi, "Who said it?" She follows the gaze of the tailor.. only to find a child dressed in similar clothes as in Arnav's casuals.. He walks over with a packet in his hands as he maintains his gaze with Khushi's' asks with his teeth clenched, 'Excuse me, did you call me?" Khushi smiles, "No, dear! I said ASR!" "Yes, that's my name!" The child answers sort of arrogantly.. ASR!" then he angily says to the tailor, 'And you sent a wrong suit!" As it dawns upon her, the tailor also decodes, "ASR,.. ASR.. Oh, Madam! These suits are exchanged.. because the names are the same.. that's why!" Khushi says, "I had it delivered at home.. but he should have checked!" "Yes, Madam!" the tailor agrees. Khushi asks the kid, "Dear, where is your Mummy?" "Why do you need to see my Mummy?" he asks in astern voice. Khushi says, "Your Mummy took my suit mistakenly,.. that's why.." The child interrupts Khushi in a stern voice, "I picked up the suit! That to after yours was picked up!.. It's not my fault!.. and it never is!" Khushi just stares the child his face with disbelief.. surprise.. Then he turns to the tailor and says, "And he should have told!" "Sorry! Sorry!" apologizes the tailor. "I got a wrong suit because of you and by the way, I don't wear such old fashioned clothes!" This surely drops Khushi's jaw open. She goes off on the child, "Okay, if you like to check so much, why did you not check your packet?" He takes few steps ahead, Khushi's eyes go wide, as he says, "Because I was busy!" then he looks at the tailor, "Next time, there should be no mistakes!" Khushi collects herself and goes off on the kid, 'Just a minute! What do you mean by you were busy? Am I just sitting useless? Look, kid!" As she points a finger at him, he moves her finger down as he curses, "What the!.. I am not a kid!. " He picks up his packet and says, "I am ASR!" Khushi looks at him in awww as he walks away.. then she wonders, "Is this true or am I dreaming?" Khushi starts biting her nails.
