| Mr. & Mrs. Raizada v/s Mr. & Mrs. Chotta Bheem |

"Hum kahaan jayenge?" [Where will we go?] Asked Khushi anxiously looking at her husband

"Why? Is there any occasion or festival?" Khushi heard back a question thrown at her by her husband. Khushi 's face was a sight to see with a big completely 'O' shaped mouth and big saucer eyes.

"Arnav-ji!!! Aap... Aap bhool gaye... Aapne humse wada kiya tha ki aap hume humari man pasand jage ghumaane le jaayenge... Aap kaise bhool sakte hai???" [Arnav-ji!!! You... You forgot it... You had promised me that you would take me to my favorite place... How can you forget this???] Khushi asked him with disbelief.

Arnav who was standing with his back towards her was hearing her attentively and when she reminded him of his promise, he cursed himself. Don't know whether he cursed himself for forgetting his promise or did he curse himself for making such a promise.

He turned around to see a determined Khushi in front of him.

"Khushi can't we postpone it??? Please... I really have an important meeting to attend..." Arnav looked at her and spoke trying to judge her expression but for the first time he wasn't able to know her expressions neither was he able to read her eyes.

"Is the meeting important?" Khushi asked and even without wasting a second, Arnav replied a yes.

"Theek hai..." Khushi said with a sad sigh getting up from the bed. Arnav who saw her dejected face felt pain in his heart.

"The woman, his wife has always forgiven him for every wrong he did to her. She never complained or demanded for anything. She was satisfied with what she had. But she too might have dreams. How much she would have thought of having a blissful life after marriage! No doubt, she had. But had I ever given a thought about her wishes? I have always forgotten my promises that I made to her. I remember, last time I had promised her to take her for a dinner date but due to meeting, I forgot that and she had waited for me till 1 in night with empty stomach. She didn't complain then nor now. How can a person be so selfless?" Arnav talked to himself as he saw her going out of the room with the same dejected face. He sighed.

..

..

"Where are we going Arnav-ji?" Asked an anxious Khushi sitting on the passenger's seat while Arnav drove the car.

"For now it's not decided..."

"Huh? What do you mean by that? I thought you had an important meeting to attend..." Khushi asked confused with her husband's behavior. He never liked to be late for his work and here he was taking her god knows where.

Taking Khushi's right hand in his left, he kissed it & spoke, "No meeting is important for me except my wife's happiness... Her happiness is the most important meeting & her smile, my most beneficial deal..." Arnav remembered how he wanted her to smile and so he has canceled all his meetings and the important one that was necessary to be attended had gone to hell. Hell!!! Nothing was more important that his own wife.

Khushi was touched by his actions and a thin layer formed in her eyes. Arnav shook his head horizontally asking her not to cry.

"Hum sacchi ghumne jaa rahe hai?" [Are we really going out?] Khushi asked still unsure

Arnav nodded and Khushi was so happy that even without another thought she jumped in her seat and spoke, "I love you Arnav-ji..."

Arnav, ego never expected his wife to ever initiate a "I love you" was shocked, surprised and happy to hear those three magical words from her mouth. Khushi who later got to know of her words aviated her eyes from Arnav and looking down, she turned a beetroot red making Arnav smirk.

"If I get to hear the three magical words everyday, then I'm sure I can leave all my work and just stay with you..." Arnav teased her while she turned more of red.

As the air in the car lightened, they both started conversing.

"Where do you want to go Khushi?"

"Um... Anywhere you take me.." Khushi answered with a smile

"Nope... Today it's your day... You tell me where do you want to go..."

"Okaayyy... Let me think... (After a while) Dholakpur... Yes... I want to go to Dholakpur..."

"Dholakpur??? What's that???"

"Haww!!! ArnavjI don't tell me you haven't heard about Dholakpur!!!" Khushi asked with her eyes wide open.

"What the!!! I obviously don't know about that place. I heard it for the first time..." Arnav said as a matter of fact. He added, "Now Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada, would you please do the honor of telling me where's this place Dholakpur so that we can go there???"

"Hehe... Of course I would do the honor. Dholakpur is a small village just about 25 kms from here... You know that's considered one of the well-maintained village and till date, there's a king who rules that place. He's proved to be the best king over time..."

"You know much about that place... I have never heard about that place from you. Does any distant relative of yours stay there?" Arnav asked unsure that maybe his wife's distant relative might be there whom he doesn't know.

"Na baba na... Humare koi dur k rishte daar vaah nahi rehte... Aur agar rehte bhi hain toh hume nahi pata... Hum shayad kaafi saaro ko nahi jaante..." [No no... No distant relative of mine stays there... & even if they live, I don't know... I don't know many of them...] Arnav knew his wife well. She might have met them but not being seen for a longer time, she would forget them if they don't hold importance in her life.

Not that she would forget all but some... Coming out of his thoughts, he asked, "Then why are we visiting Dholakpur?"

"To meet Chotta Bheem..." Khushi squealed in joy while Arnav stared at her not knowing who this so-called Chotta Bheem is?

"Khushi who's this Chotta Bheem???" He asked with a tinge of jealousy visible.

But Bechari Khushi, she didn't just notice that and continued her rants.

"OMG!!! you don't know who Chotta Bheem is? Don't tell me you didn't watch cartoons when you were a child..." Khushi said horrified

"What the!!! Of course I did.. But I have never heard about Chotta Bheem... I used to watch Phineas & Ferb, Kiteretzu, sometimes Tom & Jerry too... Why???" Arnav asked when suddenly he heard Khushi murmur

"Laad Governor.. Suits him... Just watched things that was based on science. God! You should have given this man a sense to even laugh. He didn't watch cartoons in his childhood. Gosh! Where am I held up!!!" Khushi spoke to herself not knowing that she was a bit too loud.

"What the!!!" Khushi heard her husband say as she further heard, "What do you mean to say? I did watch the cartoons. Everyone has different likes..."

"Of course they have but watching just the cartoons that helps you scratch your head isn't that good..." Khushi replied back

"Oh really! May I know which all did you watch?"

"I.. I watched many... The first one to be Chotta Bheem, then Tom and Jerry, Phineas & Ferb, Mickey Mouse, Dora-the explorer, Oswlad, Dragon Tales, Doraemon, Ninja Hattori, Oggy & the ****roaches though I hate ****roaches... They are so bad.. Always scares me... Humph... Haan so where was I???" Khushi was about to continue when Arnav stopped her.

"Stop it.. You had watched almost all the cartoons... Now tell me where to turn? Right or Left?" Asked an irritated Arnav.

HE... The great Arnav Singh Raizada was going to meet a cartoon character that he just doesn't know... Seriously... His wife would turn him crazy.

With further nok-jhoks, laughter, nonstop rants, they finally reached the outskirts of Dholakpur which gave a shock to Arnav.

In front of them was the way to go in the main village area. And the path just shocked Arnav.

It was a muddy way too narrow for a car to pass. He looked at Khushi who had said that Dholakpur is a well maintained village.

As if reading his thoughts, Khushi spoke, "Only the outskirts are this way the main village is beautiful.." Khushi said fearfully

Not wanting to break his sweetheart's heart & his promise, he knew he had to take her in Dholakpur. But how? Then he saw a look in his wife... He followed her gaze to get a greater shock than the previous one

"What the!!! Is she going to ask me to ride a bicycle??" Arnav thought and just a look in Khushi's eyes and he knew his fear came true.

..

..

They had covered major of the forest leading to Dholakpur and now Arnav was hell tired riding the bicycle along with Khushi sitting in the front. He loved the feeling of Khushi sitting so close to him but then he isn't a person used to this much of labor work. & he won't even deny that Khushi is a bit heavy for him to go with her on a bicycle all of a sudden.

Arnav was lost in his wife's beauty who was happily speaking to him showing her happiness & fun of having a ride with her Laad Governor. Arnav smiled seeing Khushi smile so happily. He vowed to himself to always keep up his promises to her and make this angel smile.

Lost in Khushi's thoughts, Arnav didn't see the small pit and he lost his balance and there they both fell down getting covered by the mud.

"What the!!"

"This is what I should say to you Mr. Raizada What the!!! Where were you lost? Can't you see this much?"

"Don't talk to me like that Khushi. I was looking ahead only but you were so lost in your own world that you started moving and we fell down." Arnav blamed Khushi. He knew he was at fault but can he ever accept that it was his mistake.. No ways.. He can't.

"Haww!!! Aap..." She was cut by a voice that caught their attention

That turned around to see Chutki standing there.

"Aap log yaha meeti mein kaise aa gaye???" [How did you both end up on the mud?] Asked chutki innocently

"Chutki... Woh hum log aapse aur Bheem se milne aa rahe the par yeh Laad Governor ne hume gira diya.." [Chutki... We were coming to meet you and Bheem but this Laad Governor made me fall down...] Khushi complained with a pout earning a what the! in return.

"Koi baat nahi.. Aap dono humare saath aaiye... Hum aapko ghar le jaate hain..." [No problem... You both come with me... I'll take you home] Chutki said with a smile while Khushi reciprocated that with a double one.

As Khushi and Arnav started following Chutki, Arnav asked Khushi whispering, "Who's this Chutki? I thought we were here only to meet your Chotta Bheem..."

Khushi smacked her own head and whispered back with irritation, "Arnav-ji jaise hum aapki d**** patni hai vaise hi Chutki, Chotta Bheem ki patni hai.." [Arnav-ji just like I'm your legal wife, the same way Chutki is Chotta Bheem's wife...]

Arnav was shocked hearing this

"That tiny boy has a wife too. Isn't a child marriage banned? I shall complain to the authority... No.. Ways... I can't... Else this Khushi will eat me alive. " Arnav thought to himself and started following Chutki.

Soon they reached Bheem's house. That was a medium sized cottage and surely Arnav was becoming home-sick.

"Bheem dekho koi humse Milne aaya hai.." [Bheem someone has come to meet us...] Chutki called out for Bheem but she didn't get any response.

She made then settle comfortably and was going to go to search Bheem when he himself entered the house with big big ladoos in his hands.

Arnav was shocked seeing Bheem. He was a short guy wrapping a saffron colored cloth around his waist which we all call as Dhoti.

"Where were you Bheem? See the guests have come to meet you..." Chutki asked him with a bit of anger which made Arnav chuckle remembering his der wife scolding him the same way.

Seems everywhere the situation of a husband is the same... Thought Arnav.

"Sorry Chutki... Woh main tumhari mummy se Ladoo lene gaya tha..." [Sorry Chutki... Woh I had gone to ask for some ladoos from your mom] Bheem apologized.

He was going to eat one among the six, he had but Chutki snatched them from him and chided him, "Have some shame Bheem, we have guests at home & without offering them you're eating all.."

"But I need energy Chutki.. Pls.."

"No.. You aren't getting any..." Chutki announced angrily.

"Arey Arey... Pls don't fight... Give the ladoos to him... We already grabbed something for us in the outskirts... What's their fight though?" Arnav tried explaining.

"No.. Arnav.. It's not like that... He must know how to behave in front of guests. Not only you but with all guests he does the same. What would they think?" Chutki reasoned him out

"I agree with you Chutki... All men are same... Here this Arnav-ji too does the same... Always work or his what the! Never sees who has come or gone..." Khushi huffed supporting Chutki.

"What the!!!"

"Again what the!!!" Khushi said irritated.

"Tum kehna kya chahti ho ki mujh mein manners nahi hai?" [What do you mean to say that I don't have manners?] Arnav asked angrily

"Humne aisa kab kaha... Humne kaha aapko pata nahi ki guests k saamne kaise paish aate hai.."[When did I say that? I said that you don't knew how to act on front of guests...] Answered Khushi boldly. Today she wasn't afraid, after all she got a supporter who is for now scolding her husband.

Frustrated, Arnav & Bheem went out of the cottage huffing & puffing.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Bheem & Arnav said together and looked at each other as the other understood what the later feels.

"Same condition as mine?" Asked Arnav

"Each married man would be having the same condition Arnav..." Bheem spoke while Arnav had to agree to him.

"Shall I ask you a question?" Asked Arnav

"Shoot buddy..." Arnav was shocked. No one has ever called him "BUDDY"

"Why did you get married at such s young age?"

"I was in love with Chutki... No doubt I still love her... And here we don't have any type of restrictions or rules of when to get married... So I married her..." Bheem told everything as a matter of fact.

"How did you end up with Khushi?" Bheem asked curiously

"Long story... We started with hatred and ended in love. When we hatred each other that time too there was love somewhere getting ignited and then everything was out of control as..." Arnav continued telling Bheem his & Khushi's love story from the beginning.

..

..

"Humph!!! What does he think of himself?" Spoke Khushi & Chutki each other, then looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"So Chutki tell me something about your gang... I mean u, Bheem, Raju & Jagu.."

"What to tell yaar... We all are best friends... Even Bheem & i are more of friends than couple..." Chutki said as if she was matured and for maybe the first time, Khushi was amused with someone.

"You tell me Khushi... Who's your best friend?"

"My best friend... My sister & sister in law... That are my besties..." Khushi replied with a smile lingering her face.

"Isn't Arnav your best friend?" Chutki asked her

"He... The Laad Governor, and my best friend??? No ways... He can be the best friend of only his office, files and laptop... They are his besties... He spends more time with them than me..." Khushi said with jealousy on its height.

"Oh!!! But if that's the case how did you both meet?" Chutki asked as Khushi drifted in her past and then stated narrating Chutki their love story

..

..

"Wow man.. You have a great love story... A tragic, adventurous one..." Bheem spoke as all the while in the story his expression has changed every moment.

"Hmmm... Only I know how tragic that was!!!" Arnav sighed and said as he got reminded of the times he has hurt Khushi. He was always determined to say hey sorry but never did he do that nor did Khushi expect him to do that.

"BTW how do you make up with Khushi? You know I mean wife are so clingy and irritating..." Bheem spoke just casually

"I don't need to do anything... I'm mostly busy with my office stuffs and she spends almost all whole day with our family... " Arnav spoke

"How lucky dude!!! Here whole day Chutki is with me only... I can't even glance at anyone else..." Bheem whispered the last line winking at him.

"BTW let's go out in the market... I really need a Ladoo or else I'll faint..." Bheem said and turned around only to get shocked

Arnav too turned around to see Chutki & Khushi standing in front of them with their hands on their hips.

Bheem gulped the lump formed in his throat while Arnav mentally patted himself for not speaking much about Khushi... Though they were having fun, but he knew Khushi would have felt bad just like Chutki felt now..

"You mean to say I always irritate you... Haina??? Then... You are free... Am going to amma's house... Dare you even come near me..." Saying that Chutki wiped away her tears and started to walk when suddenly Bheem jumped higher and longer and was in front of Chutki on his knees saying sorry for umpteenth times.

"Am sorry Chutki... I really didn't mean that... You know I was just having fun with Arnav. You know na I just can't stay away from you. It's your this irritating nature that I love the most yaar... Pls am sorry..." Bheem said holding his ears and singo sit ups.

Chutki giggled seeing him this way and there they both share a hug... Arnav & Khushi who were a silent spectator smiled at the duo when suddenly Arnav turned Khushi to himself making her gasp...

"Arnavji... What are you doing???"

"Holding my wife..." He spoke as a matter of fact

"What will Bheem & Chutki think?"

"That the couple is having their own time... C'mon Khushi... They too are couples... They know this much..." Arnav said

Khushi was about to say something when he dragged her along with him signaling Chutki & Bheem a silent good bye while they reciprocated with a huge smile on their face.

"What happened?" Asked Khushi with a pout for dragging her like that

"Am Sorry..." Khushi heard a slight whisper which was hard to believe.

Khushi's eyes turned wide as she kept on staring at her husband...

"What did you just say?"

"Am sorry Khushi... Am really very sorry... I know I have done many wrong to you but never apologized... I'm really sorry for all the times I have hurt you knowingly and unknowingly... Sorry for all the times I made you a promise but then forgot it... I'm really sorry for all times you had shed your tears bcoz of me... Am really sorry... Pls forgive me..." Arnav said while Khushi has a think layer of unshed tears covering her eyes...

She hugged her Arnav as her dear life and shed tears. "Am sorry.." He again whispered and this time Khushi spoke... "You don't..You don't have to be sorry... Bcoz Evey pain that you have given is already much much much less than the amount of love you have showered upon me... And I just want you to love me for the rest of my life..."

"I will Khushi... I will... I promise... & this time I'm sure to keep my promise... I would never break my this promise... I luv u..." Arnav said as Khushi blushed and replied, "I love you too..."

They both sealed Arnav's promise with a gentle and tender kiss...
