Arshi FF: Chaahat. *Chapter-9* (updated)- Page 5

Chapter-6:

Same night in kaya's room, kaya was weeping continuously for gaining sympathy, and Anjali & Mami were consoling her.

Kaya: "see Anjali di, how Asr, shattered my dreams and married that illiterate girl." Still weeping, "I loved him so much but he...never even spared a glance at me...now he choose that gavar(illiterate), that behenji over me." She continued her drama.

Mami: "hello hi bye bye, I just can't belives(belive), bhaat(what) is happenings(happening)??? Hamare Arnav bitwa marries uh phatti saadiii(our Arnav married that phatti saadiii) ...iee kaisan hogaya (how did this happen)??? sasuma bhi on their side, aab Kaya bitiya ka kahue??"(now what will happen to Kaya bitiya) she exclaimed.

Anjali: "Mami I think chote is hiding something...I'll have to find out ,"she said thinking deeply "if not also, I'll make chote understand that Khushi is not worth for him...and will kick her out of his & our lives...then we'll get him hitched with Kaya." (Turning to Kaya she continued) "you don't worry okay chote will be yours. I'll make sure of it. Now it's quite late we will, we will think about it tomorrow, Kaya you take rest, Mami let's leave." with that the 3 Musketeers retired for the day.

In payash's room also scene was no different. Payal was busy cursing Khushi.

Payal: "I told you right Akashji, this Khushi is very selfish...she is jealous of me that I was getting married in on such a nice and rich family so she trapped Arnavji into her charms...and more ever she even tried to seduce Shyam jijaji...chi I'm ashamed to call her my sister". she said trying gain his trust.

Akash: "don't worry payal, anyhow she is not your own sister that your feeling guilty...I'm just wondering how bhai fell in her trap...but don't worry soon everyone will see her true colors then she will be out of our lives." he tried to console her.

Payal: "but see because of her once again my life's beautiful day got ruined...she did this previously too and cause of her my 1st marriage broke, as groom found her more appealing than me. Now today also cause of her such big mess happened. Nobody is happy today because of her." She continued her blaming session.

Akash: "its ok payal...don't worry every thing will be fine...why are you getting depressed because of her...it's our big day now common cheer up, give me a smile now." He said to cheer her mood and she to obliged by smiling in return, with that both retired for the day.

Next day morning in Shantivan, all got up as usual and started their daily routine.

In Arshi's room Arnav was first one to wakeup he first glanced at his sleeping beauty in deep sleep due to tiredness, pecking her lips and forehead lightly, he glanced at clock to see it's 7am already, thinking of skipping his jog today he slipped out from bed slowly not disturb her sleep, and made his way towards washroom to get ready for the day.

After a while coming out from washroom he saw Khushi still asleep, thinking to let her sleep for some more time he entered his walk-in- wardrobe to get ready for the day.

Arnav's walk-in closet:

Meanwhile downstairs all other ladies along with mamaji and Guptas finished morning prayers and headed out of prayer room. Seeing the chance Mami again started mocking Khushi.

Mami:"HHBB, see Sasumaa you were always praise that phatti saadi na see now, it's her 1st day in dis housewa(house) and she dint turn ups(turn up) till now, she skipped marning (morning) puja also...I know she must be still sleeping. I bets(bet) she bhill (will) not cook also for her pehali rasoyi, She is taking eberything( everything) for grantedwa(granted) and you are not saying anything sasuma..." her ranting was cut in middle by nani.

Nani: "you don't need to worry about Khushi bitiya Manorama, you just concentrate on your Daughter-in-law" she said making mami shut.

Anjali: (butting in) "But nani, what mami is correct only na...see we all are here early even though we dint sleep a wink last night cause of her and she is sleeping peacefully snatching all our sleep...I'm telling you again nani she is not good for our chote...nor she is ideal bahu. Look at Kaya, she also woke up early for puja...but...that Khushi..." she was interrupted by nani again.

Nani: "I think you have not right to talk about an ideal bahu bitiya cause to talk and compare about something one herself should be eligible for it. And speaking about Kaya well today 1st time I have seen her waking up early, let alone wandering in temple's vicinity. Now I guess you have understood people's ideologies and will think hundred time before comparing." she replied sternly, successfully shutting her up this statement made kaya bow down her head embarrassed .

Turning to Payal she continued "Payal bitiya today first time you are going to cook as daughter-in-law of this house...Prepare any sweet dish bitiya...rest breakfast HP will prepare." To which payal nodded and headed towards kitchen.

Turning to others, Nani asked them to proceed towards dining room to have breakfast. All this while Guptas where too scared and dared to open their mouths in front of Nani not to land them self in this mess and silently followed Nani to dining table with others.

Chapter-7:

Same morning in Arshi's room @7.30 am Arnav came out waring a white shirt with charcoal grey waistcoat with charcoal grey formal pants with navy blue checked tie...all set, only to see Khushi awake sitting on the bed and rubbing her eyes with back of her palms cutely like a kid. Arnav couldn't help but smile at his child like wife's adorable antics.

"Oh my baby woke up??" he asked with a smile. Nodding her head in affirmation she stretched her arms towards him to hug her which he did gladly. sitting beside her on the bed and wrapping his arms around her he asked lovingly, "So what are your plans for the day madam?" to which she replied in a sleepy voice, "nothing much have to meet Sia, she had called couple of days back saying that she in Delhi for a while and wanted to catchup...so going to meet her."

"Sia? Whose that?" he asked quizzically.

Tapping his forehead she said, "Aare buddhu you forgot!!! Sia Basu...my roommate, the one who had huge crush on you." She reminded him making his face go pale remembering the specimen. "Omg that specty!!!!!" he asked horrified, giggling at his expression she continued,

"yup that same specty, who used to run behind you calling 'Ornoov', hahaha...you remember, she had once stuck N number of bubble gums on that girls hair and had emptied entire bucket of paint on her head in front whole college for proposing you...hahaha" she continued laughing.

"how can I forget that? she was a real nightmare." he said in low tone, then continued panickingly. "Oh c***!!! Then why the hell are you going to meet her?? What if she comes to know that you are my wife and does something like that with you too?? Plz don't go" he pleaded.

"Aare nahi yaar she is changed now and is engaged to our batchmate Amit, remember that drummer in the college band, and she is getting married next month, so chill and she knows that we are together so no harm." She assured reliving him.

"Hmm but be careful ok??" he asked still worried, to which she nodded "now go get ready and come down fast, I'll be in dining hall." Sending her to get ready, he made his way downstairs towards dining room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At dining hall almost around 8am, all members started settling one by one for breakfast, servants were arranging dishes on the table. As soon as Arnav came and occupied his place, Anjali gestured Kaya to sit beside him. As she was about to sit beside him, only to freeze in middle, hearing his stiff voice, "Not here, Ms Mehta. This is not your place...its Khushi's, so occupy some other vacant seat."

Kaya: "sorry" muttering slowly a hell embarrassed by this Kaya moved to occupy vacant seat between mami and Anjali, cursing her luck.

Meanwhile Nani spoke to Arnav distracting him, "Chote where Khushi bitiya? Is she fine?" she asked concerned, to which other ladies rolled their eyes.

Arnav: "ya nani she is fine... will be coming in a while." He replied smilingly.

At that time NK made his entry like a tornado & wished everyone and turned to his beloved 'Nannav' wishing him. "Hey good morning Nannav mere bhai" he said enthusiastically only to get a curt nod in return. "what is Nannav? I wished you, in return tum sirf ghar hila rahe ho... Very bad." (what is this Nannav? I wished you, in return you are just shaking house... very bad) He complained.

"what the...mai ghar hila raha hun??what do you mean?"(what the...I'm shaking house??? what do you mean???) he asked confused.

"yup.. you are just nodding your head, dint wish me back." He pouted.

"NK woh ghar nahi sar hota hai, aur tum..." (NK its head not house, and you...) he was interrupted by mami's shriek.

Mami:"hello hi bye bye... pha phatti sadi."She shuttered loudly.

Chapter-8:

"hello hi bye bye... pha phatti sadi." Mami shuttered making others look at her.

"Kya hua maa..?" (what happened maa?) a concerned Akash voiced out.

Not able to say further she pointed out towards stairs making others look at the same. Seeing the view further all had their jaws dropped in astonishment except Arnav.

Cause there stood Khushi at midst of stairs wearing a black casual knee length dress, with hair left open placed on her right shoulder, who had halted in her tracks shocked due to Mami's shriek.

Khushi's look :

(Pic credit- Google.)

By seeing her new attire all where gaping with their mouths wide open. Seeing their reaction, she continued advancing towards dining table nervously, everyone's trance was broken by Lakshmiji's bleat.

Recovering first Mami exclaimed, " Phatti saadi in no more saadi!!!!! Aab ka ika phatti deresswa(dress) bulaika padi???"( phatti saadi is no more phatti saadi!!! Now should I address her as phatti dress instead???)

"Enough mami" Arnav warned her for addressing his wife with inappropriate name.

All others where too stupefied to react anything yet and shyam had almost fainted seeing Khushi's new attire and Nani just sat with poker face.

Taking this as her cue Anjali started her play, " Dekha Nani, what kind of dress she is waring, she started showing true colors first day itself, huh... disgusting." She rumbled.

Utilising the situation buaji meddled in, " tum bilkul sahi bolat ho bitiya, dek kaisen kapade pehan ke khadi hai beshram."( you are absolutely right bitiya, look what kind of dress she is waring shameless.)

Unable to tolerate his wife's insult Arnav commented, "I know Anjali you are too fat to fit in to such cloths, and moreover not every can carry themself with such grace and elegance. And Mrs Mishra (buaji), nobody has asked for your opinion, anyhow you yourself are an outdated model...then why the hell are you commenting on current trend?..." he was about to continue but Khushi gestured him to stop. Turning towards nani she continued.

" Nani woh I'm sorry...I dint mean to" she stopped seeing Nani's face bloom into smile.

"you are looking very pretty bitiya." Nani complimented, making her confused.

Khushi: " So you are not angry nani?" she asked still confused. Smiling at her Nani continued, "not at all bitiya why should I be...you look great. And anyway I'm not those typical kind of Mother-in-law... I mean Grandmother-in-law who will impose restrictions on their daughters-in-law. It's just that seeing you first time in modern attire I was a bit shocked that's it, I don't want you to change your self for anyone bitiya". She said cupping her face.

" yes Khushiji...you are looking awesomeee." Nk said dreamly making Arnav glare at him. And Shyam was still in state of shock, Akash felt jealous of Arnav for having such a gorgeous & modern wife & couldn't help but glance towards his wife who was totally opposite, but soon shooed away such thoughts.

"thanks Nk." She said making him frown, not pondering much about her way of addressing him he continued planning to pull his Nannav's leg a bit,

"Khushiji you are sooo beautiful & smart then how did you get trapped with this arrogant Nannav??? you have very bad choice... I think you should change it." he said eyeing Arnav.

Arnav: "NK... I'll kill you today." he growled & started chasing him around dining area with cutlery knife in his right hand, they were literally looking like leads of Tom & Jerry show making Nani, Khushi & Mama laugh holding their belly, while rest others were shocked seeing this new kiddish version of Arnav.

Squealing like girl NK hid behind Khushi who was laughing uncontrollably.

NK : "Khushijiii please save me from him...he will kill me today..." he pleaded, making her laugh even more.

composing herself a bit she replied, "NK stop overreacting & squealing like a girl." turning to Arnav she mocked, "like really Aru...you were planning to kill him with cutlery knife??? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣, OMG The great ASR chasing someone around to kill and that too with cutlery knife... if anyone of your staff see you like this they will land themselves in mental asylum... 🤣🤣🤣" she again started laughing hysterically making him realize his action.

"Ahem..okay enough now lets have breakfast." Arnav tried to get back to his stern form but failed miserably seeing his Shona laughing wholeheartedly & a pleasant smile appeared on his face.

"Okay now enough, stop pulling my Chote's leg. All of you start having breakfast." Nani said, while NK signed in relief.

Still not ready to let go of former issue , Anjali continued, "but Nani look at her dress, how can you agree for this?" she asked frustrated, cause not getting desired reaction, upon that seeing defensive & loving attitude of Arnav towards Khushi added more fuel to fire.

Nani: "Anjali bitiya...don't create unnecessary fuss, and before mocking at Khushi bitiya it would be better if you glance beside once", she said indicating Kaya who was also in one-piece dress, making Anjali curse her under her breath.

Continuing Nani said to buaji, "I had warned you yesterday only Madhumathiji, not to intrude in our family matters, but you forgot I guess. I'm repeating again, I'm well capable of handling my family affairs, your involvement is not required". She said sternly making Gupta women gulp.

To change the tensed atmosphere Mamaji asked everyone proceed with breakfast which continued as silent affair.

After having breakfast Nani asked Khushi, "Bitiya are you going out somewhere??" nodding to which Khushi Replied, " ji nani, going to meet my friend."

Nani: "Ok bitiya but try coming back by 3pm. As guest will be coming home today."

Khushi: "Ok nani" she agreed.

Suddenly Coming towards them Arnav excitedly said to Khushi. "Shona, I have a surprise for you come with me." He said.

Nani: "but chote...what is it?? What Kind of surprise??" she asked confused, even Khushi voiced out seeing him all enthusiastic.

Khushi: "han Aru what is it??? & why surprise now??"

Arnav: "Offo...how many questions you both ask?? If I reveal it here only then why will I call it surprise?? Don't think much you two just follow me" saying so he dragged Khushi out of main door with Nani following them, and others tailing behind Nani curiously.

But the scene in front them made their jaws drop almost touching the floor.
