Nicky : And we both are always there with you . So you don't have to worry . We will start shooting exactly after one and a half month . The work has already started . You have to be in Mumbai in two weeks . So you have to be quick in arranging everything .
My heart sank . I don't want to leave Delhi again . I love this place but moreover I don't want to leave this place because of ..
Because of Arnav and his family . I am so attached to them now than earlier that I can't imagine staying away from them . I have a heart to heart attachment with them .
I managed to smile .
They bid a bye to us . I sat on the sofa . Amma and bua ji took their seats beside me .
Amma : What happened Khushi ?
Khushi : Amma , I don't want to stay there all alone .
Bua ji : Who said you will be all alone ? We will come there with you !
Khushi : But where will we stay ?
Buaji : Didn't you here Nicky bitiya speaking about your accommodation?
Khushi : No .
Amma : She will look after your needs until you find your permanent destination .
I smiled .
I have to go to RM now . I don't want to lose a chance spending time with them .
Khushi : Amma , now I will go to jiji . There's a lot of work !
*********RAIZADA MANSION
I was warmly welcomed . I chatted with uncle and Aunty for some time . Spent some quality time with bhayya and Bhabhi before he left for his work . Played with Aisha and Manik all the weird but funny games they taught me . And recollected all the moments I spent with jiji and jiju and had a big discussion about those heart lifting moments .
Jiji and jiju made me prepared for the life I'm going to live .
Khushi : Jiju whatever it may be , I have to learn the eye to eye language and pinky blush from you both .
They both looked into each other's eyes and lowered their eyes blushing . Jiji's cheeks are exactly like a red tomato !
Khushi : See , I seriously have to appreciate your timing to do all this . I mean how do you guys manage all the emotions and timings ?
Payal : Romance ki bachi , you are teasing us ? I will tell you how we manage all the timings .. Come .
Jiji got up to beat me . I got up from my place and started to run . She was running behind me .
Khushi : Jiju stop your wife . She is going to kill an innocent soul .
Payal : Innocent aur voh bhi tu ? Ruk hum Tumhe batate hai innocence ka matlab kya hai ! Stop you idiot .
Khushi : Jiju please save me .
We both were running here and there in the room. Jiji is very fast and I'm very slow . I know she is going to catch me.
Jiju caught jiji by her waist and picked her up .
Payal : Akaash ji , Chodiye Hume .
He nodded in disapproval .
Khushi : Thank you jiju . Ab aap dono romance kijiye hum jaate hain .
Jiji started blushing while jiju was admiring her . I closed the door .
How cute their love is ! So simple and so sweet . They love each other more than anyone in this world . They overcome every hurdle of their lives with immense love and support for each other . And that is what I admire a lot in their relation .
I was blushing thinking about them . I crashed with someone hard as a rock . He placed his hands on my arms . And I am just rooted to the place . I couldn't move . I am bearing his heart beats . Or rather I would say trying to hear his heart beats . Do they even pace up just like mine ? Or is it just mine ?
I slowly raised a bit and met his eyes . A soft note played in my heart but a sad one . My eyes became moist seeing him . I can't meet him everyday , fight with him , admire his eyes and some times cry in confusion . Confusion if this is love or not !
Arnav : Are you alright ?
He asked with concern occupying his eyes . I felt like crying and telling him , ' NO , I'M NOT ALRIGHT ! '
But I can't , may be because of my ego , my unwanted attitude .
Khushi : I'm perfectly alright !
I managed to say , somehow .
He narrowed his eyes and was straightly looking into my eyes , as if finding out the unspoken truth .
After a moment he placed his hot palms on my cold cheeks .
Arnav : Khushi you can tell me .
I want to tell him , but I'm scared . I know that his reaction will be deadly . I'm sure about it . Damn sure about it .
Khushi : No nothing .
Arnav : So why are your eyes so moist ? Tell me now .
Khushi : That's none of your business .
I directly said and took as few steps ahead .
He caught me by my wrist and pulled me back .
Arnav : It is my business and it will be . Got it ?
He sounded very angry now . Very much angry !
NK : Come on brother , she will not talk to you unless you prove yourself that you are a wonderful dancer !
Nanhe ji came on time to save me ! My saviour of all time !
Arnav : What's your problem ? Why do you always come in between us ?
He asked in his ASR tone .
NK : I love Khushi .
He said folding his arms . As of he is serious . As if he truly loves me .
I am just dumbfounded .. I gaped at him . What is he saying ? It is a lie . Absolute lie .
I saw Arnav who is throwing daggers at him . He clutched his collar His eyes completely red , blood red .
Arnav : How dare you ? How the hell you even dared to say that to me ? First of all , how can you even love her ? She is mine . Only mine . Do you get that ?
NK : No she is not yours . She is mine .
Arnav left his collar and his fingers formed a fist to punch Nanhe ji hard .
Khushi : Arnav stop . Just stop it now. You better leave for your work now . Don't fight here . Everyone's happy !
He backed off . And Nanhe ji is smiling shamelessly .after a moment he left .
Nanhe ji started laughing like a mad person .
Khushi : Are you mad chocolate ? How can you say that to him ? You know that he can't handle it ! And moreover he is not the one we should prank at ! Please don't even dare to joke with him .
NK : Oh ! I'm scared .
He said sarcastically and started to laugh again .
Khushi : Uffo .. Nanhe ji ... I'm not going to talk to you ..
I went downstairs and sat down beside Anjali Bhabhi ..
Anjali : Kya hua Khush ? [ What happened Khush ? ]
Bhabhi asked me while cupping my cheeks with concern engulfing her eyes .
Khushi : Aapki bhai ki vajey se Bhabhi . Waise bhai nahi , bhaayon ki vajey se .
Anjali : Accha kya kiya Arnav aur NK ne ?
Khushi : Nanhe ji ne unhe yeh kaha ki voh humse pyaar karte hai .
NK : I do love you Khushi . And you are not just his . Mine too . That is what I said . Am I wrong ? Don't you love me ?
Khushi : I love you chocolate .
Just then I heard a loud thud . We all turned to see what it is .
We saw Arnav standing there . His eyes Are blood red . He is gritting his teeth . His hands formed in a perfect fist .
I stood up .
He took huge steps towards me . Throwing daggers at me . I gulped hard .
Bhabhi too stood up .
Arnav : How dare you ? How ..
Nanhe ji came in front of me . Standing in between of me and Arnav .
NK : You have to cross me before facing Khushi .
He said with a stern voice . I looked at Arnav who lost it now . He clutched Nanhe ji's collar .
Anjali : Stop it Chottey !! Leave him Chottey .
Bhabhi exclaimed while trying her level best to put off Arnav's wrath .
Khushi : Leave him . Please . Everyone's happy . We can solve all this later . Please Chodiye unhe [ Leave him ]
Arnav looked at my teary eyes and loosened his grip . He took a few steps backward and marched off from the house .
I took a deep breath . Bhabhi also looked relieved and Nanhe ji again started to laugh .
I beat him on his shoulder lightly . Bhabhi slapped him on his back .
Anjali : Are you mad ? Do you want to awaken the beast within him .
After a big lecture from me and Bhabhi , Nanhe ji and me began our practise .
******EVENING
Nanhe ji and me were walking in the garden , enjoying the soothing weather .
Arnav's car halted in front of us . He got down banged the door not before spilling invisible fire on us through his burning red eyes .
He stormed inside .
NK : Why is Arnav so jealous of me ? Why is he so insecure ?
Khushi : Umm .. Chocolate , may be because we are very close to each other or something .. No it can be because of our age difference .
NK : What ?
Khushi : You know right .. I mean that I want my husband to be 5 years older than me . And you are exactly five years older than me while he is just a year older than me . So ..
NK : So .. He thinks we both will marry each other .
Khushi : Yeah .
We both started laughing at the thought of being married to each other .
I stopped because I didn't find Nanhe ji beside me .
NK : So beautiful lady , would you like to spend your entire life with me by my side supporting me in every hurdle , sharing my happiness and pain ? Will you marry me strawberry ! We both together can make a sweet chocolate and strawberry cake .
He forwarded his hand .
Khushi : Awe .. Chocolate !!
I did not place my hand in his .
Khushi : Sure chocolate .
I said laughing . He was also laughing along with me .
I skipped a heartbeat , I know .. I know that Arnav is here . I turned to my side only to find Arnav raging like a fire .
I turned my gaze . Nanhe ji stood up . He is having a smile on his face .
He came towards us . He caught hold of my hand and started to drag me .
Soon I found myself pinned between the door of his room and him .
Arnav : How dare you say yes to him ? How can you Khushi ? You never bother about me but the other guys around you . Why can't you see me ? How the hell can you say yes to him .
I wasn't looking at him . I was looking at the side . I know this is going to increase his anger but I can't help !
Arnav : Look at me when I'm talking to you .
I still didn't look at him .
Arnav : Speak up dammit !
He shouted as loud as he could .
Still I didn't look at him . He was looking at me and I fixed my gaze to the other side.
