CHAP 22. THE PICNIC

Soon Sunday arrived and everyone at the Raizada house was eager to get going. All kinds of foods, board games and other things were packed and ready by the door. Now the Raizadas were in the main hall waiting for the bus and the Khuranas to arrive. Maan had decided that he would organise the bus. He had told that very eagerly to a perplexed Anjali. Poor lady was left wondering what was so exciting about arranging the bus! If only she knew that Maan was just happy that he was getting a chance to meet Geet so soon and that also in such a place where he could woo her.

So the Raizadas were waiting for the Khuranas to arrive with the bus. Soon the servant announced that the bus had arrived and the Raizadas marched off to the bus with Anjali bringing the rear with Geet. One by one the Raizadas climbed the bus, Shyam entering first to meet with Dev and to plan how they could cheer their wives during the day, Naaniji following while asking everybody to hurry up, Maamiji worrying if her make up was intact or not, Maamaji following her letting her know that she looked perfect, Aakash lost in his thoughts about his Miss. Cham-Cham and Arnav worried about how to ignore Khushi if she will be in front of him the whole day. The Khuranas eagerly met with the Raizadas. Daadima and Naaniji joined in the middle of the bus and sat down nearby chatting with each other. Maamiji and Maamaji sat right behind them. On the other side of Maamaji and Maamiji sat Arjun and Annie, both too lost in each other to notice others except to say hello and welcome them. The seat on the other side of Daadima and Naaniji was left for Gupta sister's mother and aunt. And behind Annie, Arjun and Maamaji-Maamaji were four seats empty. Shyam joined Dev in the second back left seat and both spoke with each other. In the seat on the other side sat NT eagerly waiting for Anjali so that they could catch up and chat. Towards the back seat which had five seats went Aakash hoping that Paayal would join him and they would get some private time. Maan sat in the front eagerly giving hand to Naaniji and Maamiji to help them up. If someone thought that Maan's attitude was weird, they didn't comment on it because for them this attitude was better than him being all surly and grouchy.

Anjali tried to climb the stairs but was having trouble due to the extra weight from her pregnancy. So she was grateful when Maan gave her a hand to climb up. Anjali entered the bus and smiled when NT eagerly waved her hand at her. Anjali made her way to NT and both sat down chatting.

Geet followed Anjali and was surprised to see Maan giving her a hand too with a smile on his lips. There was something about his smiling lips; something that made her blush and butterflies to erupt in her stomach. Before she could analyse those feelings, she had given her hand to Maan and he had pulled her up. As she was not prepared for it, Maan's tug made her loose her balance and she fell right on Maan. Maan grabbed her by her waist and she placed her hands on his chest to balance herself. That brought her too close to Maan and suddenly she felt awkward. Why was she awkward? She couldn't understand. She raised her eyes and gulped at the intensity of Maan's expression. Now that she knew his feelings for her, his expressions took a total different meaning for her. Her heart started beating faster and she was suddenly feeling short of breath. Her hands felt clammy and she looked away, trying to calm her roaring heart. Just then Maan leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Peeche tumhaare liye seat rakha hai!

When Maan leaned down, Geet could swear her heart stopped beating. She was confused by his message though but she was still so lost in all the new sensations that she simply nodded and walked off to the back seat. Aakash had taken the window seat on the left right behind Dev so Geet took the right side window behind NT and looked out, trying to discern what was suddenly happening to her.

Maan smirked. He managed to get close to Geet and the picnic had not even started. Life is perfect! He schooled his smirk to neutral before anyone from the families, or God forbid, his siblings noticed. He went and sat right beside Geet, resisting the urge to pump his fist and shout yes' at the top of his voice. Once Maan went to the back, Arnav took Maan's seat in the front with one window seat empty right beside him.

The bus began and at every twist and turn, Maan made sure he bumped into Geet. When Maan apologised, Geet simply smiled awkwardly all the while trying to stop her heart from beating so fast. Hey Babaji! What was happening to her?

Except the four seats behind Arjun Annie, Maamaji Maamiji, the two seats between Maan and Aakash in the back, the two seats reserved for Gupta matriarch and Aunt and the window seat right beside Arnav, all other seats were occupied.

Soon they arrived at Guptas and Paayal eagerly entered the bus, her eyes searching for someone. Anjali, NT, Annie, Arjun, Dev and Shyam simply pointed to the back making the newly engaged couple blush. But a furiously blushing Paayal made her way to her beau and a red cheeked Aakash eagerly welcomed her.

The matriarch of the family and the Aunt followed and Naaniji and Daadima welcomed them. Naaniji asked the ladies to join them and the ladies sat on the opposite seats of the elder Matriarchs. The Gupta Patriarch followed and behind was a dusky beauty who he promptly introduced as his wife's niece, Lavanya, who had arrived mid-week and was eager to meet her cousin's new family. She was sweet and polite and both of them sat behind Maamaji and Maamiji. Maamiji turned to chat with the girl and soon Lavanya and Maamiji were lost in talks of fashion. The Gupta father and Maamaji started talking too and after a while Lavanya would exchange seats with Maamaji as her talk with Paayal's future mother-in-law got interesting.

The last to enter the bus was Khushi and the moment she stepped in, her eyes landed right on Arnav who sat in the front. The front had only two seats, both adjacent to each other, with one being window seat and other facing the aisle. Arnav sat in the one facing the aisle.

Khushi's heart skipped a beat as Arnav's eyes met his and she looked away feeling awkward. Then her righteous anger surged forward and she looked up at him with a glare only to be disappointed that he wasn't even noticing her. He was looking somewhere else. Why didn't that feel good? She wondered. She climbed the last steps and looked around for seat. She noticed two seats empty behind Annie and Arjun but was not interested in sitting alone. She looked around for another empty seat. The window seat near Arnav was empty too. She ignored it and looked on. She grinned when one seat was empty right between her sister and Maan. But then she frowned that if she sat there, her boss would be to her right. Hey Devi Maiyya! Boss ke baaju mein? She huffed. Koi baat nahi! Jiji ke liye yeh bhi seh lenge! Waise bhi unke baaju mein Geet haina! Hum unse baat kar lenge! She grinned and eagerly walked to sit there.

As Khushi took her own time to decide where to sit, the bus had begun moving by the time she took the decision to sit beside her sister. She took a step ahead, the bus driver stepped on accelerator and Khushi lost her balance. She closed her eyes in fear only to feel herself land on something soft. She opened her eyes only to see Arnav's eyes up and close. Hey Devi Maiyya! Hum toh Arnavji ki godh mein gir gaye! Before she could move or say something, her attention was arrested by the emotions swirling in Arnav's eyes. There was so much pain and hurt in there that for a while, Khushi felt guilty that she rejected him so brutally. Just then her mother asked if she was ok and that broke her out of her thoughts. She tried to get up from Arnav's lap but was unable to as she had no idea where to keep her hands to support herself while getting up.

Suddenly Khushi felt two hands on her waist and she froze. She looked at Arnav uncertainly and his intense eyes captured her attention again. She stared at him as he made her stand upright on the aisle and pulled his hands away. He looked away out of the window and Khushi felt hurt at his looking away. Just then her mother asked again if she was ok. She took her attention away from Arnav and looked at her mother. She nodded and tried to smile. It came out looking more like a grimace. She took a next step just as the bus swirled again and once more she landed into Arnav's lap. Everyone started laughing at that moment. Khushi felt once more awkward as she looked at Arnav worryingly. She felt hurt once again when Arnav stared at her with annoyance. Inhein kyun ghussa aa raha hai? Har waqt ghusse mein rehte hain! She grumbled internally.

Arnav once again grabbed her waist, startling her and pushed her to stand upright. Her Bua shouted just then, "Khushi bitiya! Uuvaan hi baith jaao! Arnav bitwa ke paas! Yahaan aane tak pata nahi aur kitna girogi! Aur kahin chot lag gayi toh? Her mother echoed her sentiments and Naaniji and Daadima supported them. Khushi huffed, bit her lip and then sighed. Then she turned around and Arnav moved his legs outward letting her slide in to the window seat. She was about to sit and when again the bus jerked. She felt right into Arnav who this time simply pushed her into her seat roughly. She sent him a glare for his roughness and he barked, "Theek se nahi baith sakti ho kya? Khushi looked away as his words hurt her. But why his dislike of her hurt her so much? She couldn't understand. She was further confused when at every turn she and Arnav fell on each other and her heart started beating fast at every encounter.

Meanwhile in the back, as one set of lovebirds... ahem... Paayal and Aakash gave each other sweet smiles and made small talk, Maan attempted his own small talk with Geet.

"So how are you Geet?, Maan asked and immediately scolded himself mentally. How are you? Is that all you can ask? What kind of talk is this? She is the girl you love, not some random stranger! Idiot!

Geet looked at him in confusion. Maine aapka dil toda aur aap mujhse pooch rahe hain, main kaisi hun? Geet wondered. Main kaisi hun, mujhe hi pata nahi. Shaayad confused hoon. Ya shaayad pareshaan. But she didn't voice her thoughts. She smiled at Maan, "I am fine! Maan smiled too and both looked away. Neither had any idea what to say next. Just then the bus jerked and Geet fell on Maan. Both looked at each other and suddenly broke out laughing. That broke the ice and both started talking to each other. Both forgot about their surroundings as they got to know each other's' likes and dislikes. NT and Anjali heard them and looked at each other in shock. Didn't Geet break Maan's heart? Then why isn't he feeling angry or hurt and she feeling awkward? Both shrugged and ignored Geet and Maan, not wanting to unravel that puzzle.

Soon the time passed and they reached the picnic area. It was in the outskirts of Dilli. The whole area was surrounded by greenery and there were ample trees under which people can sit for the shade. There was even a lake nearby where people went for boating. One by one everyone got down. As Annie got down, Arnav raised his hand to help her get down. Behind Annie was Khushi who raised her hand while getting down. Arnav's hand raised and she was about to place it on his when he withdrew it and looked away. Once again Khushi was hurt and once again she was confused by her reaction.

Khushi got down the bus only to stumble and fall onto Arnav again. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at him. She felt something in her stomach flutter and her heart beat once again turned faster. Arnav looked away and she came out of the moment. She straightened herself and walked off but not before casting a confused look towards Arnav.

Meanwhile because of their constant talking, Maan and Geet didn't even notice that they had reached the picnic point and so were the last to get down the bus. As Maan got down, Geet followed him and raised her hand so that he could help her down. Maan noticed her hand and gave her an impish smile. Geet was confused at his smile but before she could ask about it, Maan grabbed her by her waist with both his hands, lifted her off the stairs and planted her right beside him. Geet's eyes widened at his actions and she stared at him breathlessly. Maan pulled his hands away, winked at her and walked off. Geet's jaw dropped open at his wink and then red spots appeared on her cheek. Despite the surprise, Geet had to admit, there was something sweet in his actions and she liked this new version of Maan.

Soon blankets were spread on the floor and everyone settled down under the trees. Picnic baskets were opened and fruits were distributed. Everyone in the Raizada family chuckled as Anjali started to whine about eating fruits. She was not big of fan of fruits after eating them constantly from the start of her pregnancy. As everybody watched, Anjali continued to refuse to eat them. The Gupta ladies looked on curiously as they wondered what the Raizadas would do next. Khushi was surprised when Arnav got up from his seat and sat right beside his sister. And with the gentlest tone, he spoke to her, "Kha lone Di? Khushi's jaw dropped open. The rudest guy she had ever met, who was even rude to Geet, his own sister, had suddenly transformed into the gentlest guy as he coaxed his sister to eat! Even his gruff voice took on a soft tone and the expression on his face was so loving that Khushi felt breathless. For the first time since the proposal she wondered what would have happened if she had said yes to Arnav. Would he have been as gentle with her as he was with Anjali?

As if feeling her eyes, Arnav looked up at Khushi and Khushi felt her breath taken away. The expression on Arnav's face was still gentle and she was unable to look away. Arnav looked back at his sister and gently and coaxingly fed her the fruits. Khushi stared at the scenario in front of her unable to look away. Just as Arnav finished with feeding Anjali, Geet came and sat beside her brother, asking him to feed her too. At first Arnav looked annoyed and then he simply shook his head and smiled at her softly. Khushi watched transfixed as Arnav fed Geet too lovingly. Suddenly, Aakash, Dev, NT, Annie and Arjun surrounded him and started asking him to feed them too. Arnav looked simply resigned and fed all of them the fruits, but still looking at all of them with fondness.

"Humka bachchon ki bachpan ki yaad aagayi!, Naaniji commented as the elders watched the youngsters.

"Haan! Humein bhi!, Daadima agreed, "Aise hai bachpan mein bhi yeh sab Arnav bete se kehte ki unhein khaana khilaaye!

"Aur aise hi pyaar se Chote inhein khilaate bhi the!, Naaniji said.

Khushi was surprised by this conversation. This was the side of Arnav she never saw till now. If only he had proposed in the same gentle manner...! Khushi's eyes widened as she realised what she had just thought. She stood up from her place and walked few steps away, startled by her thoughts.

Soon the fruits were fed and Dev demanded that everyone should have some fun and start some games. The younger ladies began the board games while Dev, Arjun, Shyam and Aakash started badminton nearby. Older family members sat in one corner chatting while Maan and Arnav stood a little far away discussing something; everyone guessed it must be business related and let them be.

But soon NT got bored of the board games and her mind went to her husband. Even Annie's eyes wandered to her husband and Anjali noticed this. She teased them about it and NT and Annie grinned sheepishly. Anjali suggested that they could watch the game instead of playing the games and all ladies agreed.

The four men playing were surprised when Anjali, NT, Annie, Paayal, Khushi, Lavanya and Geet sat nearby and started cheering. Annie, Anjali and NT cheered their husbands. Paayal, Lavanya and Khushi cheered Aakash and Geet joined Anjali in cheering for Shyam.

Maan had noticed the ladies cheering and his eyes had zoomed in at Geet, whose laughter he could hear even from where he was standing. He had an idea and he waited for his chance. After half hour of playing, Shyam got tired and sat beside his wife. The other men were groaning because they lost a partner. So Maan took his chance and asked if they could join them. Aakash agreed and Maan partnered with his brother while Aakash and Arjun were opposite them.

"Di!, Geet whispered to Anjali, "Maan khelte bhi hain?

Anjali looked at her in shock, "Of course! College mein toh saare College friends khelte the! Toh kabhi kabhi Maan Saab bhi khel liya karte the!

"Waah!, Geet commented, "Mujhe toh laga tha mere Boss sirf kaam hi karte rehte hain!

"Humaare Veerji itne bhi workaholic nahi hain!, NT huffed, defending her Veerji.

Geet watched as Maan started to play. As the game continued, her eyes didn't move from Maan and slowly she got excited about the game. Next thing the ladies knew, Maan had won a point and Geet was all out cheering while waving her hands all around.

"Baby?, Anjali whispered in shock at her sudden excitement.

Geet stopped cheering as she realised that all other girls were staring at her in shock.
She felt embarrassed but she played off the situation, "Arre! Maan aur Dev Sir mere boss hain! Toh main unhein hi cheer karungi na! GO MSK! GO DSK! She cheered once again hoping that others didn't see through her words. The truth was she was so focused on Maan, she didn't even notice who he was playing against. She was never lost so much in one person! What was happening to her? She shrugged. Who cares? Mennu ki! Main toh yahaan enjoy karne aayi hoon aur wahi karungi! She smiled and went back to cheering for her boss, but in her mind she was back to being fixated on Maan.

Maan heard the comments and simply smirked. He did want her to cheer him. But it will happen so easily, he hadn't expected that. Luck seems to be smiling at me! Maan thought as he served.

Soon it was lunch time and the elders called for everyone to join them to eat. Food was served and all had great time talking and laughing. Only one person was confused. And that person was Khushi. What confused her? Arnav, who else! For once, Arnav was smiling and laughing. It all started with Geet noticing how morose Arnav looked today and to tease him she asked Anjali if her AB was as broody as he is now in his childhood too. The reply came negative but it was not from Anjali. It was Arjun who had replied and before they know it, Aakash, Dev, NT, Annie and Arjun took turns narrating stories of prankster Arnav. This stupefied Khushi. Till then she had only seen the rude, arrogant and annoyed side of Arnav. But this playful side or the gentle and loving side of his was totally unknown to her. This whole day seemed so weird to her that she couldn't make head or tail out of it.

Oooh! How was that?

Opinions are changing and feelings are developing!

Let the love stories... begin again!

Thank you, take care and have fun,

Kalpana

Loved part 22👏

Loved the update. Atleast Maan is getting what he wanted from this picnic. Geet is starting to feel something though not love but maybe attraction. Liked how Maan was subtly wooing her. Poor Khushi is a confused soul seeing a different Arnav. waiting for next.

wonderful update

CHAP 23. CONFUSING FEELINGS

Lunch was over and everyone lounged around relaxing. Arnav was seated beside Lavanya and Lavanya decided that this was her chance to talk to ASR, the great fashion genius. She introduced herself and also her field of studies, which was fashion. She also confessed that she was his fan and wondered if she could ask him some questions. Arnav was delighted to meet a fan and eagerly agreed to answer her questions. Soon both were engaged in an interesting discussion not noticing that someone was burning in jealously and was glaring at the duo.

Khushi fumed as she looked at shy and blushing Lavanya and a smiling Arnav. Hey Devi Maiyya! Humaare saath kitne kadve rehte hain yeh! Lekin Di ke saath dekho! Kitne chipke jaa rahe hain! Aur Di? Yeh bhi kuch kam nahi! Chipke hi jaa rahi hai! Kuch sharam nahi kya isse! Khushi continued to fume in her mind while casting an evil's eye at the duo. Doing the work of adding fuel to the fire where Naaniji and Maamiji seated nearby, and they were doing it of course without realising it.

"Hello Hi Bye Bye! Dono kuch minuton mein kitna ghul mil gaye hain!, Maamiji commented.

"Haan! Humka toh lagta hai ki shaayad bahut jald humka humri bahu mil jaayegi!, Naaniji commented too.

Anjali, who heard this comment smiled uneasily while Khushi narrowed her eyes as she glared at Arnav.

"Uhu uhu!, Maan heard someone cough and he looked up. Geet was standing beside him, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"May I sit here?, she asked playfully. Maan shrugged and pointedly looked to his side.

She grinned and sat down.

"Ek sawaal poochun?, she asked.

Maan shrugged again.

Geet took it as yes and questioned, "Aapne mujhe kyun aankh maari?

Maan looked at her in shock, never expecting her to be so direct.

"Bataayiye! Aapne mujhe aankh kyun maari?, Geet asked again.

Maan decided to catch her off guard too, "Because I was flirting with you!

Maan was right. Geet was taken aback by his answer. She looked at him with surprise. He grinned at her and she looked away in confusion.

Suddenly she looked back at him, "Par kyun?

He looked at her playfully, "Par kyun nahi?

"Humne toh aapko manaa kar diya tha na?, Geet asked. The conversation took a serious turn.

Maan decided to be honest with her, "Tumne isliye manaa kiya na kyunki tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti! Right?

Geet nodded and Maan continued, "Yaaniki agar tum mujhse pyaar karti toh haan kehti?

Geet shrugged, "Haan!

Maan smiled, "Toh maine socha kyun na main tumhaara dil jeet loon?

Geet's eyes widened at his words and she smirked at him, "Oh really!

Maan nodded at her as he looked at her with intensity.

She raised her chin, "Itna aasaan nahi Geet Raizada ka dil jeetna!

Maan smiled, "Maan Singh Khurana ko bhi aasaani se cheezein milein yeh pasand nahi!

Geet huffed, "Bahut mehnat karni padegi!

"Chalega! Tumhaare liye..., Maan leaned towards her making her lean back a little, "Kuch bhi karunga! and he once again winked at her.

Geet's eyes widened again and she got up from there and ran away to where her sister sat. For next hour, she avoided looking at Maan at all. Maan didn't mind. As he had said, he was ready to face all the challenges on the route to his love.

Geet sat beside Anjali totally confused. She didn't know what to say or do. Maan was flirting with her to win her back! What the! She couldn't believe it. Was he mad? She rejected him! He should have hated her! But he had gotten over her rejection and had actually taken it up as a challenge! What kind of man are you, Maan Singh Khurana! What kind of man are you! Itni deewangi! Itna pyaar! You love me this much! Geet couldn't believe it despite having heard it from Maan's mouth. And then there was her own reaction. She was delighted at first at his attention, she realised. She was actually eager to talk to him, to seeing this playful side of him. Why? What was happening to her? What was he doing to her? Geet couldn't understand so she steadfastly kept her eyes away from Maan and focused on her sister. But her mind was totally on the puzzle named Maan Singh Khurana.

It was late in the evening when the family decided to start back. As everyone started towards the bus, Khushi noticed that Arnav was walking right in front of her. She took few hurried steps and she was right beside him. She wanted to talk to him, ask him if he was avoiding her, why was he so rude to her whenever they met, when generally he was such a sweet person? She wanted to ask so many questions but she was unable to voice anyone of them. Finally she blurted out, "Kya aap humse naaraaz hain?

Arnav jerked and looked at Khushi in shock as if he noticed her just now. That hurt her more than any of his other actions. Then he broke her heart further by saying gruffly, "Haan! Aur koi sawaal? He started to walk faster and reached the bus sooner than her. She huffed. Why was he avoiding her? She had to know it. She inadvertently forgot that he was angry because of her rejection and that she didn't like him much. Khushi followed him right to the bus and made sure that she sat right beside him. Luckily for her it was the two left side seats at the end of the bus with Arnav looking out of the window and she seating right beside him. She gave him a wide grin when he took notice of who sat beside him. He gave her a glare and looked away pouting. Khushi simply giggled at his pout. Aaj toh bada mazaa aayega!

Meanwhile, Geet was walking towards the bus when a hand brushed her hand. She almost jumped at the touch and turned only to see Maan walking beside her acting as if he didn't notice her at all. She narrowed her eyes, "Nautanki band keejiye! Mujhe pata hai ki aapne mujhe notice kiya!

"Kya?, Maan looked at her innocently, "Tumne kuch kahaa?

Geet huffed in annoyance.

"Waise... tum bahut dull lag rahi ho. Bukhaar wukhaar hai kya?, Maan asked as he touched her forehead to check her.

She pushed his hand away, "Aapko toh mujhe choone ka bahaana chaahiye!, she accused him.

Maan shrugged, "Woh toh hai!

"Haww! Hey Babaji! Kitne besharam hai aap!, Geet looked at him surprised.

Maan shrugged, "Tumhaare pyaar ne banaaya!

"Huh?, Geet was not at all amused. She looked at him as if he was an alien. She couldn't believe the nerve of him. He was still flirting with her! She had get away from him! She had to! She stormed off heading towards the bus. She climbed and took the last right window seat only to growl in annoyance as Maan right beside her all the while giving her a smirk. She huffed and looked out of the window as Maan chuckled. This was fun, he thought. Letting her know his plan had him free to pursue her openly and he could flirt with her without being subtle. This only gave him more chance to win her heart. And win her heart, he will!

The bus journey began and Arnav and Geet were beyond irritated as Khushi and Maan kept on annoying them with random questions.

"Aap humesha humse itne ukhde kyun rehte hain? Sab se haske baat karte hain! Humse kyun nahi? Aap kyun humse naaraaz hai?, were some of the questions Khushi had asked Arnav. The last question had gotten Arnav to look at her incredulously. Didn't she remember that she rejected him, that also so brutally?

And Maan's questions went something like this, "So what do you think of me? Still don't like me? What do you think, where should we get married? Shantivan or Khurana Mansion? You know, I like it better when you talk a lot, why aren't you talking?

When the journey finally ended, Arnav and Geet were the happiest siblings on earth. Soon both reached their houses and their rooms and heaved a sigh of relief. But late in the night, both were unable to sleep.

Arnav hated the effect Khushi had on him. She had rejected him and yet the whole day he yearned for her attention. He had managed to stay away from her only due to his sheer will power. And when in the evening, she was seated beside him and peppered him with questions, there was a part of him that was happy by the attention he was getting from her. Arnav smiled as she remembered her nagging him about why he was so rude to her before their siblings' engagement when he used to come to pick her up? Now how was he to tell her that he was rude to her because he felt helpless against her invading his heart? How was he to tell her that it annoyed him that she could so easily win his heart and he was unable to stop it? How was he to tell her that in those days, he was falling for her and he was trying to stop it from happening? Arnav sighed. Today sleep was not going to come to him, it seemed. He was up for a sleepless night.

Geet seemed to be thinking the same. Sleep was not her friend today. She was going to be up the whole night. She sighed as she sat up. Why Maan? Why? Why are still in love with me? Why are you so crazy for me? She remembered his questions and one particular question made her blush.

"What do you think, where should we get married? Shantivan or Khurana Mansion?

Wait! Geet straightened up suddenly. Why am I blushing? Oh God! This Khurana is driving me crazy! She pulled her comforter and hid her face behind it. But it was of no use. Maan Singh Khurana haunted her for the whole night.

On the other side, Maan was one happy camper by the time he hit the bed. Geet had known his intention which gave him the chance to flirt with her openly. She had subconsciously responded to his advances. And the whole day he got to spend with her. What else did he want from his life! Life was perfect!

If Arnav and Geet were annoyed and Maan was happy, then Khushi was totally dejected. She didn't like the way Arnav ignored her. She didn't like him flirting with someone else; even if that someone else was her own cousin. And she definitely didn't like him being so sweet with everyone except her. And she most definitely didn't like the fact that all these things were affecting her. Humein hua kya hai? She wondered. Her eyes went to her Devi Maiyya and getting up from her bed, she stood in front of her best friend.

Bataaona Devi Maiyya! Humein hua kya hai? she asked in her mind. Arnavji ka humaari taraf ghussa humein pasand nahi! Koi unse haske baat karein humein pasand nahi! Aisa kya hua jo hum sirf unke baare mein sochte hain? Humein kuch nahi samajh aata! She sighed miserably and looked at Devi Maiyya pleadingly hoping that her best friend answered her questions. But her best friend didn't reply and Khushi walked back to her bed sadly and fell asleep to thoughts of Arnav.

Oh my God! Geet and Khushi are finally feeling something for their heroes!

Now what will happen?

For answers, wait till next update!

Till then, thank you, take care and have fun,

Kalpana

superb update
