Khushi took blessings from Nani. Garima signaled Khushi to smile. She forced a smile on her lips. Anjali made her to sit with her. She cupped her cheek with a cute smile. "Khushi... you look very pretty..." Khushi again forced her smile. "That's why our Chote has selected you..." Nani added. "Chote..." Khushi mouthed without getting who this Chote is.
"Chote... Our Saale saab... your would be husband Khushi..." Shyam said with a smile. Already she's engulfed with her fear for marriage... and this proposal... Her mind started to think how to get rid of this Chote without knowing that she can't. Khushi didn't have a clue of how Arnav saw her in NK-Lavanya engagement... how he liked her instantly... also the way how she fought with a guy who brushed her shoulder unknowingly... How she expressed her hate for the romance when Lavanya questioned her... made Arnav to fix her as his better half with a mischievous smirk.
Finally to her relief they all left. Khushi rushed to her room only to remove those accessories. Garima and Payal came there. "Khushi... see what I brought to you..." Payal said teasingly. Khushi gave a death glare. "It's his photo... Have a look Khushi... He's so handsome..." Payal told excitedly. "Then you marry him jiji..." Khushi uttered instantly which made Payal to shock. "Pagal..." She hit Khushi's forehead and thanked that Akash and Shashi were chatting in the hall.
"Khushi... What is this..." Garima sounded rudely. "Maa... I don't want to get marry... Not to this Chote... not to anyone... You only said na... am very young... see I didn't even completed my studies... then all of a sudden where the hell this proposal came... pls ma don't push me... Am not ready... I won't..." Khushi saying this childishly rested her head on Garima's shoulder.
"You really are a pagal..." Garima made her to stand in front. "Khushi... when such a nice family came with this proposal... how can we reject that... I don't know what you are going to do... but get ready soon... for this marriage... We want this marriage... that's final... You are getting married to this Chote... He's such a sweet boy..." She gave certificate to him making Khushi to fume.
Payal has kept his photo on her table near her bed. Khushi didn't have any interest to look at his face even. She simply slept and got ready for her college. "Khushi... Did you saw his photo..." Garima came towards her. "Nope... none of my business..." saying this she collected her Tiffin box and ran out without waiting for her reply. Garima stood like a statue. Payal shook her and signaled her that she will talk with her.
Khushi's college seemed very busy as they have organized a fashion parade with costumes designed by the students. Yup... she is doing fashion designing. When the time came their director took pleasure to invite a special guest for their program... who is none other than our ASR... Arnav Singh Raizada. All the girls got excited and started to steal his glance. Khushi got irritated by this act. She simply concentrated in her task.
Students who were selected for models... Started to do the ramp walk with different costumes. Khushi felt a sudden nudge. She looked at Lavanya who signaled her somewhere. She followed her eyes and it ended with Arnav who is just staring her with a smirk. "What the hell..." she gritted her teeth mouthing this. His smirk became wild as if he guessed what she told also he was sure that she hasn't seen his photo. She moved her eyes totally ignoring him. "Khushi... He's ASR... NK's friend..." Lavanya added.
Khushi didn't mind her words. When the program came to an end, Arnav started to leave. While leaving he purposely crossed Khushi and when she looked up he winked her. "What the..." she muttered to herself as he has reached his Mercedes. He walked back to her. On seeing him coming towards her made Khushi even more furious. "How dare you..." She pointed her finger to him. He looked her finger casually and stepped towards her even close with an intense stare. His sudden approach made her to struggle. He leaned to her "Khushi... Kumari... Gupta... Go and check the photo on your table..." Saying this he winked her again and left with a smirk.
Khushi was frozen. "How come he knows that..." She talked to herself. "Khushi... What is it..." Lavanya worried. After telling to her what he meant, Khushi went to home quick. She didn't listen to her mom. She went to her room and picked the photo and turned to her. "It's him..." She gulped and his photo fell from her hand. "Khushi... What is it... What happened..." Both Garima and Payal asked worriedly.
"He came to our college program... And..." Khushi stopped. "And..." they asked together. "He winked at me..." Khushi blinked and then became angry saying "How dare he can wink at me..." Hearing this both Garima and Payal chuckled. Garima nodded her head as there's no use to talk with her. Payal hit her forehead again and they came out.
