Puja at home. ..
Arjun-Arshi came for the puja.
Arshi burst into tears seeing Aarav.
Ars:Bhaiyya.
Arshi hugged him.Both wept.
Ars:Bhaiyya,be strong.We will pray.Nothing will happen to Radhika bhabhi and your baby.
Aarav shed tears:I hope so Arshi.
Ars:Aarav bhaiyya...I think Radhika bhabhi will come now.You should not cry before her.It will make her weaker.
Nodding his head he wiped his tears.
Radhika came.
Arshi looked at her painfully.
R:I am alright Arshi.Nothing to worry.
Arshi hugged Radhika emotionally.Radhika smiled emotionally.
Arshi went to another room and cried.Arjun went after her.
Arj:Arshi...
Ars:Why this is always happening to Aarav bhaiyya?First he was betrayed by a woman named Sheetal.He loved her as his own mother.But she broke his heart mercilessly.Then he was betrayed by the woman he loved.But when she started loving him he was so happy.He had just started living his life.But then now...
Arj:Arshi...for that nothing happened.There are some pregnancy complications.That's it.There are many women who gave birth to healthy children overcoming such complications.Radhika bhabhi will also be perfectly alright after the delivery.
Arjun wiped Arshi's tears.
Arj:Now come.Puja is going to start now.
Aarav told Radhika.
Aarav:Radhika..this puja is for your safe delivery.I feel that God will save us from all dangers.You took the right decision by going ahead with your pregnancy.
She smiled.
Khushi looked at them sadly.
She thought:Let the decision be right itself.
K:Arnavji...I am really scared about Radhika's condition.
K:Though I believe that what ever Devi maiyya does is for good now I don't know why..I am afraid.
Arn:No Khushi.Devi Maiyya knows that Radhika is the best for Aarav.Then how can he take her life?
K:Arnavji...I also hope so.
Arnav patted her cheek.
The puja went very well.
Aarav-Radhika offered prayers together.
Raizada Mansion was preparing for Karvachauth.
Aarav went to Radhika:Radhika,did you have your break fast?
R:Aarav...today is Karvachauth.I am fasting.
Aar:Fasting?Are you mad?Don't you know that in this condition you can't starve?What about the baby?
R:Aarav...please...i could never fast for you.And what if I will not be able to fast for you in future.
Suddenly he closed her mouth with his hands.
Aar:Don't dare to talk like this.
R:Sorry Aarav.But please let me starve.
Aar:No.
Khushi who passed by heard it and got inside.
K:Radhika...it's not good to starve in this condition.
R:Please mom...it's my request.
K:Ok...then fast for 3 hours in the evening.
Aar:Very good idea mom.Radhika...obey mom.If you are adamant about taking karvachauth fast for 3 hours.Then break it.
R:But that's not right.
K:No Radhika.Devi Maiyya understands your condition.So ypu will be blessed.
Radhika smiled:Ok.Thank you.
Khushi-Aarav smiled.
Arnav smirked at Khushi seeing her fast.
He kept a bowl of jalebies in front of her.Khushi was tempted to eat them.But she controlled her desire.He smiled.
Arn:Khushi,if you want you can eat it.No objection from my side.
K:Arnavji,after many years also your naughtiness hasn't been reduced.You have not understood the value of karvachauth till now.
Arn:Khushi,I really don't feel happy seeing you fast.You are so slim.Do you have the capacity to bear it?
K:Don't underestimate me Arnavji.I can undergo it easily.
Arn:I really feel like fasting with you.
K:Don't dare to do so...you know that diabetic patient like you should not fast.It will harm your health.And I want you.
Suddenly their eyes locked onto each other.Arnav felt very happy hearing Khushi telling him'I want you'.
Rabba ve...
Arnav moved closer to her.She moved away blushing.He smiled.
In the evening...
All the couples stood in a line.
Arjun whispered in Arshi's ears:Did you really fast?
Ars:Ya.
Arj;What?You didn't feel hungry?
Ars:Not really.I had food 1 hour back.Right?
Arj:What?That means you fasted for just one hour?
Ars:Ya.Otherwise your naughty baby will kick my stomach like hell.
Arjun giggled.
Seeing Radhika dressed in red Aarav couldn't take his eyes off her.She blushed.
Suddenly she noticed his face looking tired.
R:Aarav,why you are look tired?You didn't eat anything?Did you fast?
Aar:If in this condition you can fast for me,why can't I fast?I fasted for your long life.You will live till our child becomes a grand father Radhika.
Radhika became emotional.He smiled emotionally.
NK to Lavanya:Lavanya,you are not hungry?
La:NK...fasting is not a big deal for me.I always fast to remain slim and fit.Fasting is the secret of my stylish looks.
NK felt like laughing.
Armaan to Peehu:Can I tell you some thing darling?
Peehu smiled:Tell me dear.
Arm:Good that you fasted at least for one day Peehu.Your extra fat will go.
P:Are you saying that I am fat?
Arm:Sometimes I need to tell the truth na?
Peehu got angry and kicked him on his shoulder.Then they both burst into laughter.
Akash looked at Payal romantically.
Ak:Payal,now I am reminded of our first Karvachauth.Because your face is glowing like you glowed during our our first karvachauth.
She blushed:Akash...you...
He smiled seeing her blush.
Khushi was glittering in her red saree which was Arnav's favourite.He held her hand and brushed his nose on her palm.She blushed.
K:Arnavji,what are you doing?Others will see.
Arn:Let them see.I am romancing my wife only.
She smiled.
Arn:When you wear red I go crazy.I can't control myself.
K:No Arnavi.Not here.
Arn:Ok...as you wish.
He grabbed her hand and walked to a another side.
K:Arnavji.
Arn:Relax Khushi.Nobody is here.
She was shy.
He circled his arms around her waist and touched her skin with his.She got lost in him.
The moon appeared...
Khushi saw the moon accidently.
Khushi got excited :Moon has come.Yey...Finally after a long wait the moon has come.Now I can eat.
Arnav giggled:No one will be as happy as you for breaking the fast.So that fast can be broken.
Arnav-Khushi laughed.
Manorama screamed:Manoharji,see...
He got tensed:Manorama...what happened?What is there?
He also looked that side.
Manorama:Hello...hi bye bye Manoharji.The moon has come.
Manohar:So you were screaming seeing the moon?
Mano:Then what else?
Manohar:You scared me.You are impossible.
Mano:Hello hi bye bye...Please break my fast soon.I can't take this anymore.
Manohar:Manorama...you are so foody.
Manorama gave him a staring look.
Anjali-Rahul smiled at each other.
Anj:Because of my prayers I got a nice husband like you.
R:But what did I do to get a wife like you?Because of your love only my life is beautiful.
Rajkumari viewed Abhay's face through the sieve.
Abhay was gazing at Rajkumari.
R:Why are you looking at me as if you are seeing me for the first time?
Abh:Because very rarely I get to see you in traditional saree.
She smiled.
When Arshi looked at Arjun through the sieve he became emotional.
Arj:I love you Arshi.
She smiled:Love you too Arjun.
All the husbands broke their wives' fast.
Arnav took a small piece of jalebi.
Arn:Let the morsel be your favourite.
Khushi was excited.He fed her jalebi.
Khushi was eating food like crazy in the bedroom.
Arnav felt like laughing.
Arn:Crazy!
K:Arnavji...I just fasted for a day.But I feel as if I didn't eat for one whole month.That hungry I am.
He smiled.
Finally Khushi finished her food.She took a long breath.
K:Stomach is full.I feel so happy.
Arnav saw curry drops on her lips and cheek.
Arn:Khushi...curry drops on your lips and cheeks.
K:I will wash my face and mouth.
Arn:No need.I am here for that.
K:Means?
Arnav sucked the curry drops with his lips.She was lot in that passionate moment.
She became shy when he looked deeply at her eyes.
Arna blew air into her ear.With shyness she closed her eyes.
He whispered:There is Karvachauth special gift for you Khushi.
She opened her eyes.She couldn't believe her eyes.
Arnav was holding jalebi shaped earrings.
K:Arnavji...this...
Arn:Khushi,don't eat this mistaking it for jalebi.These are only jalebi shaped earrings.Not the real jalebi.
Both of them burst into laughter.
K:Anyways this is a lovely gift Arnaji.
Arn:I knew that my Jalebi Queen will love it.
K:Arnavji...in my high school for fancy dress I dressed like jalebi and I won also.
Arn:What?Jalebi?I just can't believe this.I have never heard of anyone dressing like jalebi for the fancy dress competition.
K:That photo is still with me.
She opened her box and took a photograph.
K:Recently amma only gave me this.
Arnav laughed seeing Khushi as jalebi in the fancy dress competition photo.
Arn:Khushi,you are a real jalebi.
Khushi -Arnav laughed.
