[#1] Fan Fiction | Bhabhi - Page 7

Anjali turned around with prashaad in thaal, a wide smile spread on her lips when she found Khushi standing just right behind her, hands folded and eyes closed in prayer. At the same time, Deviyani and Manorma turned back and smiled too at Khushi. It actually surprised them seeing Khushi at the Morning Pooja with them.

As Anjali offered the Prashaad to the ladies, she moved towards Khushi and offered her the same when she opened her eyes. Khushi flashed a fake bright smile and not able to control herself, Anjali took Khushi in her arms surprising her.

Khushi smiled again and hesitantly wrapped her arms around her back.

"So glad to see you here" said Anjali.

"It's because of Bua Ji, i never miss the morning puja" Khushi explained and Anjali nodded.

Khushi then looked behind her and moved towards Manorma and Deviyani to seek their blessings.

"Khushi Rahiyien Bitya" blessed Deviyani, brushing her hand on her head.

"Achha hi huya Khushi Ji aap jaldi uth gayien. If you not mind, we can make Kheer today for the breakfast. It would be so good to have something sweet from my sweet Bhabhi on her first day" said Anjali rubbing her palms, totally excited.

"Hello Hi Bye Bye...We thought that you would be still sleeping after a tiring night..." Manorma stopped abruptly when she felt Deviyani snapping her head towards her angrily.

She gulped and looked away shrugging her shoulders. Khushi's face color dimmed more than already and she looked down feeling uncomfortable as she fiddled with her fingers now. Anjali hid her giggles and moved towards Khushi placing a hand on her shoulders.

"Shall we go Khushi Ji?" She smiled wide.

Khushi smiled too and nodded, following Anjali in the Kitchen. Manorma looked down twisting her lips as Deviyani threw a glare in her direction and left from there.

Khushi glanced back at Anjali who was arranging some plates in the cabinets and smiled faintly while adding a spoonful of sugar in a bowl of milk.

Everyone was so good, polite and kind with her especially Anjali. She was frank and very easy to have and talk and now Khushi was getting doubts if Dhruv was their brother. The name itself reminded her of the horrible night. She sighed. That was just the beginning. She was indeed scared of the upcoming nights.

She had purposely woken up early in the morning to save herself from Dhruv's wrath. The only way to protect her was to avoid him though it is obviously not a very useful idea.

"Khushi Ji, Is only Bua Ji in your family?" asked Anjali and Khushi jerked from her thoughts and tilted her head back.

"Maaf Karna Khushi Ji. Everything happened so quickly that i didn't get much time to kno..."

"I understand" Khushi spoke and Anjali smiled standing behind her.

"YeS. My Bua Ji is my only family. Actually Amma and Bau Ji passed away when i was only 9 in an accident" Anjali was sure, her voice shook when she spoke about her Amma and Bau Ji's accident.

"I'm sorry" Anjali muttered placing a hand on her shoulders.

"You don't need to be. I don't feel bad as i was never close to Amma and Bau Ji. Bua Ji was always with me and i don't even remember about them much" Khushi spoke chuckling in the end and Anjali smiled.

"You are so confident and strong" Anjali pressed her lips and Khushi pressed a smile on her lips.

Maybe she is not...

"Even Mamma and Dad left us, me Dhruv and Chote. I was just...maybe 18 that time. Chote was very little that ti" and Anjali was interrupted by a door bell.

"Lo. Shaitan ka naam liya or Shaitan haazir" Anjali muttered making a face while Khushi looked at her confusedly.

"It's Chote" Anjali chuckled.

"Arnav?" Anjali nodded when Khushi asked.

"You bring this delicious mouth watering kheer at the table" Anjali spoke, leaving from there.

*

As Khushi placed the bowl at the center of the table, Manorma rushed there and quickly seated herself. The wisps of the Garam Garam Kheer weren't letting her concentrate on the Holy Veda she was reading unwillingly.

Arnav rushed down the stairs and made his place inside the dining Hall.

"A very very good morning Bhabhi" Arnav greeted and lifted off the lid of the bowl which contained Kheer.

"Good Morning" Khushi replied and smiled and that's when Akash entered inside greeting Khushi too.

"Umm..it looks yummy" Arnav sang putting a spoonful in his mouth while Manorma gazed at that spoon with her mouth watering.

"Chote" Anjali slapped Arnav on his hand that the spoon dropped on the plate and he frowned.

"Kya hai Behan?" he exclaimed angrily sucking the little Kheer dripping from his finger.

"Chote, Dhruv was supposed to taste it first" Anjali said angrily and Khushi looked down feeling nausea every time, she heard that beast's name.

"So?" Arnav cocked an eyebrow.

"So what? It's a ritual and you ruined everything" Anjali folded her arms.

"Doesn't matter and even Bhai doesn't believe in this... and waise bhi I am sure Bhabhi doesn't mind me tasting the delicious Kheer first...Right Bhabhi?" Arnav asked with a wink.

Khushi smiled and nodded.

Aakash and Anjali shook their heads. Anjali slapped Arnav on his hand again when he took a spoonful of the Kheer once again.

"Chote. Enough and it has sugar in it. So you can not have it anymore" Anjali spoke pushing Arnav down on the chair.

"Then let me have it" Manorma muttered snatching the bowl from Arnav's hand and earned glare from him.

"Sugar-free?" Khushi looked at them confusedly, her smile dimming.

"Di's Chote is Diabetic" Aakash spoke filling his plate with the pancakes.

Khushi's smile faded and she literally felt bad for him. There is no life without sweets and she was sad to see someone not able to enjoy that sweet-life.

"If you had told me before, i would have made one sugar-free for Arnav" Khushi spoke up feeling concerned.

"No need Khushi Ji. It's okay if he doesn't eat the Kheer"

"That's unfair" Arnav replied immediately and Anjali raised her eyebrows and folded her arms, giving a long stare to him.

"Whatevaaa..." he muttered and then looked at Khushi.

"Bhabhi promise me that you are going make the tastiest Kheer for me...Only for me me. Some people are hell-bent to make my life miserable" he spoke eying at Aakash and Anjali who gaped at him.

Khushi giggled and nodded. "Promise" But Khushi's smile faded, the moment she saw Dhruv standing on the stairs and gazing at her with rage. It was obvious that he was enraged because of the last night. Khushi gulped and quickly dropped her head down. Nothing was enough to thank Devi Maiyya last night to save her from him and Khushi just hoped for another help from Devi Maiyya!

"Where is Dhruv?" asked Deviyani the moment, she entered inside the dining Hall and found Dhruv missing but then she smiled when he made his way inside.

"Betiya. You come and sit beside me" Khushi nodded and then glancing at Dhruv once, she pulled the chair close to Deviyani, distancing herself from Dhruv as much as possible.

"Come fast. Bhabhi has made some delicious Kheer for you...and...which is being...eaten away by...Mami" Arnav spoke with pauses and stared at Manorma who greedily ate it.

"Arey ye kya Dhruv. You are going Office? Today?"Anjali asked seeing him in his Suit.

Dhruv nodded and and sat down on the chair beside Khushi, glimpsing at her. Khushi totally tried to avoid the conversation between Anjali and Dhruv, she smiled at Deviyani who filled her glass with juice for her.

"Khushi Ji. At least you say something to him" said Anjali and Khushi sighed.

She was the happiest one on hearing Dhruv not staying here but seemed as if Anjali had some other plans.

"Yeah...If Khushi says, i might not go" Arnav and Aakash smiled mischievously at him.

Khushi clenched and unclenched her fist.

"Work comes first and i don't mind if he goes" Dhruv smirked and shook his head.

Anjali sighed and sat beside Manorma.

"Fine" Anjali shrugged, her smile dimmed a little.

Khushi looked away and now Dhruv leaned closer to her.

"See you tonight. Better not try to trick me" he gritted and the firmness of his voice scared Khushi.

Her ignorance annoyed him more. No one is allowed to ignore him.

"I'll leave" Dhruv spoke and got up buttoning the coat.

"Why? You didn't even have your breakfast?" spoke up Anjali immediately.

"I am in a rush right now"

"You always are"

"Okay Bhai at least have the Kheer made by Bhabhi" said Arnav and Dhruv turned towards Khushi.

"Khushi will make one again for me" he smiled sweetly and then left leaving everyone disappointed except Khushi who sighed a relief even his presence was kind of suffocation for her.

Anjali looked at Khushi and felt bad for her seeing the dull face.

"Dhruv has always been like this..."

"I know" Khushi smiled and made circles in her plate.

"Don't worry when Arnav is here Bhabhi. I have taken a leave today specially for you. Bhai nahi huye to kya huya, Bhabhi ka devar to hai na" he said and grinned wide.

"Main bhi to hun" added Akash.

Khushi broke into a wide smile and nodded. Anjali shook her head and twisted his ear. "Di. Stop it. How many times i have told you not to do this-it's weird" Arnav gritted in a low tone.

"Weird lagta hai to lagne do. What about your papers?" she asked."Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ke tum cheating se paas hote ho spoke Anjali looking at Deviyani.

Arnav cocked an eyebrow and stared at her folding his arms. Anjali looked at her with the corner off her eyes and broke into a chuckle, slapping him lightly on his cheeks irritating him more.

"I better go and sit with Bhabhi" Arnav muttered making Anjali laugh.

Khushi smiled as Arnav got up and taking a round of the table, as he came and sat beside Khushi.
