Khushi sat by the bed side deep in thought. Yesterday, once again, she ended up acting like a Sanka devi. Completely forgot all about Arnav's wants and put her mad ideas ahead.
She sighed dramatically and laid her on head on the pillow. It's not like she was being selfish... all she wanted to do was see Anjali smile. After all, Anjali went through a traumatizing experience yesterday, so what's the harm in trying to cheer her up? Someone had to take the step in moving on and Khushi decided it would be her. So what was the harm in all that?
Arnav's annoyed and disappointed face flashed before her eyes. Khushi slapped her forehead. Why did she have to act like that in the movie theater? She must have really embarrassed Arnavji... Although she has always been that way in front of him. What difference does it make now? He never complained.. well he has said she was mad, but he never told her not to be crazy... Maybe he is just pretending then.
Khushi gasped at the thought. What if all this time Arnaji really didn't want her to be weird? What if all this time he was hoping she would change after marriage? Oh my god, she must have really failed at this!
While Khushi's mind was flooding with thoughts, Arnav entered the room after a long day at work. He stopped mid way to find Khushi biting her nails frantically and muttering to herself. He shook his head with a smile. She was worrying about something insane, he just knew it. Slowly he walked over to her and sat beside her. She still didn't seem to notice him.
"Khushi... what are you doing?" Arnav asked her waving his hand in front of her, to grab her attention.
Khushi snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Arnav with wide eyes. She jumped out of the bed in surprise and said, ''ARNAVJI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
Arnav raised an eyebrow at her question, ''um, I came home after work... Khushi what's going on? Why are you so worried?"
"Worried? Me? No, of course not? Why would I be married?" Khushi said in a hurry, biting her nails due to the nervous tension traveling inside her body.
Arnav got up from the bed and moved closer to her. Gently he grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him. He heard her take her sharp intake of breath. He leaned towards her ears and whispered, ''Khushi... I know something is wrong. Please tell me what's wrong."
Khushi gulped, ''Well... Arnavji do I embarrass you?"
Arnav looked at Khushi as if she has really lost it this time. What in the world was she asking? Did Khushi really just ask him this question?
"Khushi why in the world would you even ask that?"
"Just answer the question Arnavji!"
"No Khushi you don't embarrass me."
"Oh... well..."
Arnav nodded, encouraging her to proceed.
"I am sorry about yesterday Arnavji... I just wanted to see everyone smile. And I know I was being crazy yesterday at the movie theater... I jus-"
Arnav cut her off and made Khushi sit on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his chest. The beat of his heart calmed her nerves instantly.
"Khushi listen to me... I don't care what the world has to say. You are my sanka devi, my mad wife, whom I love with all my heart. Even on our date I told you I love you for who YOU ARE. If the world has to bash about that, that's their problem, not ours. No matter what you do in this world, people will always judge you. We cannot stop the world Khushi. We are happy, I am happy, our entire family is happy and that's what mainly matters. You are the light to our family Khushi, you are the light in my life. If you acted all normal, life would be so boring. So don't you ever change, understand?"
Khushi looked up at Arnav and smiled widely. She had such an amazing husband. Devi maiyaa really blessed her with a wonderful family. She leaned and kissed his forehead.
"Thank you Arnavji... for knowing I am crazy and yet loving me."
Arnav kissed her gently on the lips and smirked as he pulled away.
"But... since yesterday was family time, today is me and you time. How is that?"
Khushi blushed at his suggestion and hid her face in his chest.
"Okay," She whispered and Arnav smiled, hugging her tight.

If you are crazy, be crazy! No matter how weird it might be :) Being who you truly are is what matters. People will talk and judge always, so what's the point trying to please them?
