Part 11:
Her Hatred for HIM had surely diminished in the intensity after over-hearing his conversation with Anjali Di and somewhere she was appreciating him but suddenly she mentally shook her self to remind herself that this was a 6 month marriage in which after the contract period, neither would she be 'Mrs.Arnav Singh Raizada' or will her feelings again matter to him.
Arnav was surely put into thought as he knew in this limited time period he had to do something which would make her stay back, forever. He always had unspoken feelings for her but he didn't know what to name them but by the time he could do that, his parents had already distanced him from her.
Anjali went to Khushi, who was aimlessly walking now and said,
" Khushiji, today is your first day in our home, and we have a rasam that the bahu would have her 'Pehli Rasoi' today! Can you please do that?"
Khushi was put into thought when she heard the word ,'Rasm' because she knew their marriage cannot be called a complete marriage as they have not taken the seven vows then how would this make a difference.But she had a special liking towards Anjali so she couldn't refuse her either so she decided she would cook today.
" Khushiji, if you don't want to do it is fine" said Anjali in a dejected tone, while looking at Khushi's thoughtful face.
" No DI, I will do this! Aap ke Liye!" ( For you) said Khushi, faking a smile.
Anjali was very happy hearing the word 'Di' from her and assured Khushi,
" Khushiji, you needn't do anything for me, if you don't like it!"
" I want to do this for myself too, Di" lied Khushi.
Anjali nodded positively while smiling and informed HP to help Khushi in the kitchen.

Kitchen,Shantivan
Khushi knew what she was doing but something made her do this. Something she never realized due to the change of situations. She could never realize whether her feelings towards Arnav, were of love or just friendship.
She left the stove on for making kheer but forgot to turn it off as she was lost in her stream of thoughts. Suddenly, she was brought back as someone turned the stove off.
" Thanks a lot" said Khushi while turning to see her husband, behind her.
" Yeah, I should thank myself, and so should everyone! As if I didn't come on time, you would have served them burnt kheer!" said Arnav, jokingly but he didn't know that his wife was not in the mood to listen to this.
" See, if you want to irritate me then I am sure to serve you burnt kheer with red chilly powder!" said Khushi and served the kheer to take it out in the dining area.
Arnav was shocked to see his feisty side of his Khushi, early in the morning, and that too before Breakfast, which surely made him more hungry.
-----DIning Area, SHantivan
" Kheer is awesome, Khushiji! Seems Rani Saheba has a new competitor in making it!' Said Shyam while teasing Anjali in between the praises.
" So from today onwards ask Khushiji only! Don't ask me" said Anjali, faking her anger.
" Arre Rani Saheba! Kheer made from sister's hand is different from that of wife's! If one has affection, the other has LOVE!" explained Shyam to Anjali.
" Oh! Couldn't you have told this to me before! Waise, from when did Khushiji become your sister?" asked Anjali curiously, as a new relation was named here.
" From when Saale Sahab's wife served me a tasty Kheer, she became my sister! Waise, Saale Sahab, why aren't you saying anything?" asked Shyam as he noticed Arnav was just silently eating/
" Uh, Nothing Jijaji! Just like that!" said Arnav, making excuses while Khushi was all happy to find a brother in Shyam.
" It seems Chotte's words have stopped eating food from his wife's hand' said Anjali, according to the plan made by her and Shyam, whose agenda was to brin Arnav and Khushi closer.
And the Breakfast turned out to be a light one for Khushi due to such a fun-loving family.

Arnav and Khushi Room, Shantivan,
Khushi was using anti-depressants ever since she turned 18 and took over her father's business. Because she was unable to cope up with depression due to her personal and professional life. She was about to gulp down the tablet when Arnav, pushed her hand off, making the tablet fall down.
" What was it, Arnav?" questioned Khushi.
" Do you even know that taking anti-depressants can reduce the chances of conceiving?" questioned back, Arnav.
" After being bound in this contract how can I expect that to happen anyways!" said Khushi, sarcastically.
" One more of this and I will myself make sure that, you conceive my child, Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada!" said Arnav while clenching his jaw and drawing her more closer to himself.
" What??How can you say that to me, Arnav? Do you even know what you are speaking? I always knew you are shameless but to this extent...I just realized" said Khushi while turning her face away from Arnav's, giving him the clear view of her swan like neck.
"There is nothing wrong in ME saying THAT!! Because I am your HUSBAND and I have all the rights to WISH for it and FULFILL it too!!" said Arnav, while giving his signature smirk.
" To Hell with you rights, Arnav!" said Khushi, helplessly.
" But you aren't taking even one more of this! Or else you know the consequences" said Arnav and left for his office.
Khushi gave the departing Arnav an 'Unbelievable' look and started for her own office as she knew this was going to be a difficult day.
