Im sure now Arnav is definitely waiting for Khushi's girls to move in and im waiting for the same. As for the last bit, Khushi running away from Arnav..its true, she still holds love for him but it'll take time for her wounds to dissapear with Arnav's love and i love the Arnav in here, hes changed for sure...more calmer and tamer. Its like a role reversal lol! Loving it so far and whose this Brian kid? LOL!
 
Update soon =)

A very serious chapter, but an important one, I think. And for all those who were worried about how Khushi became a Mommy...read on and you will know all😊.

Chapter 8: What Khushi did...

Arnav sat in his office, reading a file intently. It was 8 in the evening. He was the only one still at work. It had been 3 days since he had asked Aman to make discreet inquiries about Khushi's life in the UK, and how she'd made it through the past 7 years. Aman had hired an excellent private detetective. The report had come in just that evening. Arnav had read the 30page report 3 times in the last 4 hours. His respect for Khushi and disgust for his own behavior had only multiplied several fold in the past few hours. He resolved to give the file to his family and hers, to read. They deserved to know and be proud of what their girl had become, in spite of them, sadly, not because of them.

A penniless Khushi Kumari Gupta had fled to Mumbai after the humiliation that had been dished out to her in Delhi. There, she'd lived with a school friend who was married and settled in Mumbai. Dharavi to be precise. She'd lived in a shanty with no plumbing, stolen electricity and paid her share of the rent by working as a housemaid at several houses. One of the houses that she worked at belonged to a young couple with 2 small babies. Mrs.Mistry was young, beautiful rich and kind. She didn't do a thing at home, being blessed with a rich and fond husband. But she was invariably kind to Khushi and always treated her well. Her sons were 3 years and 8 months old respectively. Within a month, the older one began to look forward to Khushi's appearance in their home every morning. He loved her to play with him and call him funny names. Khushi was wonderful with him and the baby. Soon Mrs.Mistry employed Khushi to work for her full-time, as a nanny for the children. She hired someone else for the housework. Khushi enjoyed the arrangement. The pay was decent, the job enjoyable and she went home pleasantly tired, but not with aching arms and legs like before.

After about 4 months Mrs.Mistry called her in one day and told her that Mr.Mistry had been transferred to the UK. They were moving in a month's time. Before Khushi had time to feel more than a slight pang, she asked Khushi to accompany them to the UK as the children's nanny. The company was willing to pay for it and sponsor her visa as well. Khushi didn't think twice. She had nothing left in India. No family. Nothing. She enjoyed life in England. They lived in a large flat in London. She had her own room and one day every week off. She saved a good chunk of her wages, because her food and board was free. After about 6 months she broached the topic of taking evening classes with Mr and Mrs.Mistry. They were extremely supportive. Mr.Mistry even dropped her off and picked her up the 3 nights a week she had class. She worked very hard, staying up late at night and spending her day off studying. It was not easy for her, since it meant learning a whole new language, English. Her education till Class 12 had been in Hindi, so this was a challenge for her. She managed very well though. In about 3 years she had the qualifications to work as a personal assistant.

The Mistrys were sad to see her go, but they knew that she was capable of so much more than being a Nanny to their children. Mr.Mistry helped her find the job with Rising Star. He knew Aadit Murthy and had heard him mention the opening for a personal assistant in their office. She had jumped at the opportunity. Life became easier and harder at the same time. Easier because she had her independence, a small bed-sit in a decent part of town that she rented. Hard because she missed the Mistrys and their children. And also because her boss Freddy Meek was a nightmare to worth it. She didn't know when she'd have a file hurled at her, or be commanded to stand still while he ruthlessly draped pieces of cloth around her when he was having a fashion epiphany. Worse, he had a bad temper and was erratic with timings. She often worked from 8am till 10pm, only taking breaks for meals. And there would be weeks when he would sit in his office, thinking. She would have nothing to do except take him coffee.

She started volunteering in a shelter for abused women and children. It was there that she first saw Sheila. Sheila's mother had been beaten to death by her husband, an alcoholic. Sheila was 2 years old at the time. Khushi fell in love with the child. She was difficult, prone to fits of rage and temper tantrums. For a baby, she'd been through a lot. Including been thrown down the stairs by her drunk father. She shrunk from men, crying even at the sound of a male voice. Khushi's soothing voice and patience worked wonders with the child. Khushi became a foster Mom to her initially. A year later she adopted her formally. And 18 months later she had adopted Nita too. Nita had been left in a garbage dump by her teenage Mother who hadn't known what to do with her. Khushi now had the means to support a family, so she felt comfortable with the responsibility of 2 children. Her career was going well. She was able to afford a Nanny of her own. Freddy Meek had slowly become her friend and confidante. She had risen in the ranks and was now a Consultant on his various projects, though he still liked her to hover around, mothering him.

Truth to say, Khushi was a born mother hen. Never happier than when she was clucking over her chickens. Be it her children, or Freddy Meek, the big baby that he was. Khushi Kumari Gupta had truly come full circle.

Arnav turned to the page that covered her likes and dislikes. The private detective had been unbelievably good, he thought.

Likes: Playing with her children, Yoga, running, Hindi movies (he grinned at that one, you could take the Chamkili out of Khushi, but not the Khushi out of Chamkili, he thought!) designer handbags and shoes, and dark chocolate.

Dislikes: Clutter, being late for anything, people who tip poorly, and big Indian weddings. (That surprised him, she had loved all things traditional when he'd known her).

Also, the file stated that she did not believe in any God. Her children were not being raised in any religion. (This shocked him, knowing how much faith she had placed in Devi Maiyya!)

It also shed some light on her personal life in the last 7 years. She had dated casually, even had one serious boyfriend, But he hadn't wanted the baggage of children and she didn't want anyone who thought of her kids as baggage. On the whole, she had a good life, friends, a family of her own, a good career. He wondered if she needed him? Probably not. She had done fine without him. Problem was, he needed her. Arnav needed Khushi. He slung his jacket over his shoulder and headed out of the office, file in hand.

Garima would enjoy reading about her daughter, he knew. Buaji would be even more ashamed than before, if that was possible. He hoped Anjali would gain some inspiration from it. Her life had been very stagnant the last 7 years and he hated what she'd become. A soulless being who ate slept and even smiled on cue. But with no real purpose to her existence. No interests in life. His Di would love to read this, he thought. It would surely lift her spirits. And Payal. Payal would cry as usual, he grimaced. Rivers of tears. Enough for a salt Satyagraha, he mused unkindly. Even Mamiji would be impressed with the grit Khushi had shown, he thought, as he pulled into the driveway of his home.

Tell me what you think!😊
